Odd to see so many saying we could not have run the ball at the end. Isn’t that what the whole transformation of this offense was supposed to be? That we could run the ball whenever we wanted to? But now we can’t run with the clock running out? Can get even 5 yards in 3 plays? Even punting from the 10 with less time on the clock and no to’s for hou we are likely in ot. Getting by out of the end changes lots of things. But we can’t run.

Thinking this all game.

Well it has been debated. Take Josh off this team and what do you have? Most of the high draft picks or big free agent spends have turned out average to bad. Samuel this year looks like the Harty move last year. Coleman and Bishop look ok. Kincaid is there underachieving. Torrance looks to have regressed. Elam can’t get on the field. It’s the Benford, Shakir, Bernard, Brown, etc late picks. But imagine if some of the $ free agents and early picks were more impactful.

Very likely they get positive yards on runs. Get out of the end zone and you at least have options. Likely more time off the clock, better punting position, and no timeouts for HOU. And that is assuming they don’t get a first down running the ball. I think they could have got a first running it either via cook or Allen.

Maybe McD had the score wrong. Thought we were down 3 at the end. Would explain the play sequence.

Pass play in first down. What are we thinking… No way we run in 2nd…huh Third down they cannot be that stupid to throw again. What in the blank are they thinking.

They lose this is a fireable offense.

What are they doing? Playing like we are losing not tied. Should have ran on first get out if the end zone. Ran on that 3rd down for sure. What the crap.

Need to find a way to use the playaction effectively. What is the point in establishing the run and then going to obvious pass plays.

What the crap am I watching

Let’s just waste a 2nd down…

Targeting on the play to cook?

I’m surprised he couldn’t outrun the DL more there and turn the corner.

How many times are we gonna get 7-8 yards on first then punt.

Play looks even worse now

If the Bills beat BAL and CIN and Chiefs beat AZ and MIA then I would say Bills. So in this case I say KC though it doesn't really mean much. We beat JAX and BAL to go 4-0 and KC beats ATL and SD then my answers changes to the Bills.

Winning will do that and we are only two games in. I also think there is something to the fact that the expectations have drastically changed. The past few years it was super bowl or bust everywhere. Now there a lot of pundits out there saying the Bills dont even make the playoffs. It is much easier to be in lets prove them wrong mode than constant super bowl expectations.

People have such short term memories. Bills were never funny to watch when he was here? We had one of the most exciting offenses in the league. I love the 2-0 start and there has been some fun to watch. But saying we are so much more fun to watch than we have ever been is a weird conclusion.

Really? The Bills could not stop AZ The first 3 AZ drives went for 70, 61, and 71 yards and were all 10 plays or more. The Bills literally could not hold them on a single drive in the 1st half. The Bills turned it around in the 2nd half. AZ had one solid drive in the 2nd half for 58 yards and scored 3 points. The other 4 drives gained only 22 yards total, though 1 ended in a fumble on the 2nd play and the final drive AZ was able to move the ball. MIA actually stopped JAX on the first and third drives of the game but did give up 96, 55, and 43 yard drives in the first half. MIA also buckled down in the 2nd half and only gave up one big drive of 94 yards but the other 5 JAX drives all went nowhere. JAX scored 0 points in the 2nd half and excluding the one big drove only gained 10 total yards in 5 drives.

Here is how I look at it. The top 10 or so RT do make 15-25m per. After that there is a big drop to $5-10m for the next 15 or so guys. He is here for two more years. If he proves do be worth $10m more than the next tier of guys maybe he sticks. But I suspect they will be looking for a replacement in the next couple years to prep for when they cut him loose. Kind of reminds me of the Knox deal. Paid him like a top 10 TE. Good player but top 10? Would not be shocked to see them draft a RT early this year or next.

Very similar games. MIA dominated JAX in the second half like we did. Still think JAX is a better team than AZ so better win for MIA. We will find out this week who is the better team at this point...hopefully it is us.

I would be fine removing MIA. I added them because I had 4 in the NFC. But I put them there bc a win vs JAC is a decent win vs other AFC team wins. BAL lost by a toenail to the #1 team. Think that loss is better than most AFC wins. Still win over GB is better than most NFC wins. Who is #4 then? Bills are right there but barely beating JAX > barely beating AZ. Agree with this. We beat MIA we are top 2 regardless of of what BAL or HOU do. Again, this is based only on the two weeks of results nothing else.

At first glance, he is gone after 2025 with a $4M dead cap hit. Dont see how you pay your RT $20M per unless he becomes dominant. It is hard to fully grasp how BUF feels about Brown. Each of the past few years they have brought in competition or back up plans for him at the costing the team some decent funds.

Based solely on week 1 results: Top 4 of AFC: KC, BAL, HOU, MIA Top 4 of NFC: SF, PHI, DAL, DET

I think it was a bad call. But I the piece that could be debated is that Murray went to slide and Ingram could have avoided him altogether than go down for the hit even if he then pulled up to avoid contact. You can see he still kneed him etc. That is where the ref is judging could Ingram have just let the play go dead when Murray started the slide.
