Interesting sidebar, but only because this team has been so abysmal for a generation. Making the Playoffs as a WC should not be a significant yearly goal- winning your division with a 1/2 Seed should. 

Yes because so many teams do that every year.  The goal is likely the division this year and we will win it.  There is no WC for us this year.  We have a commanding lead and Miami got started too late and they are our only in division threat.  We are 3-0 in division while they are 1-2.

Singletary flat out can't catch a ball to save his life. Neither rb is fast so whoever can make routine catches out of the backfield wins.....I'd give Moss the edge. 

We got pass catchers.  Singletary is the better Runner although Moss is great if he gets to the second level.

20 receptions through 7 games is pretty good for a RB who can't catch.

I actually think Moss is a slightly better version of Singletary. But I still think we need a Better back (someone bigger, stronger, faster to the hole). I was never a fournette fan, but watching him a little today, that’s sort of the guy we need. The guys we have aren’t featured backs. 

Doesn't have the same wiggle.  Has more power.  I think it's good to have both.  When the line struggles be glad we have Singletary.  If Moss can get to the second level then the defense better watch out.

Good breakdown. The Pats D is stellar where Bills O excelled and that’s in the secondary. The Pats secondary IMO is one of the best in the NFL and right now is #2 in the NFL.. which might not sound like much but seeing as how we have faced Seattle, KC already that’s pretty amazing!

 

i day you guys go 2-2 as well but win  against AZ and lose to the Pats in a close one..  but I can change my mind if Cam after a full week of Practice is still not seeing the wide open receivers and throwing them the dang ball!

[Buffalo Bills: This is your moment.]

Let’s face it 5-2 feels great, but there’s reason for skepticism all over the place. An honest fan knows and can feel this. From the horrid run defense and suspect pass defense for all but one half of a game this season, to the minimal conventional running attack, to the conservative coaching strategy to constantly play not to lose. Even Josh has given off an aura of uncertainty the past three weeks. 
 

I’m both a diehard Bills fan and a realist. I root for this team passionately, if not too passionately per my wife, and throughout 30+ years of emotional

investment I’ve learned nothing surprises me when it comes to the Bills. Call it BBFS, call it whatever you want. 
 

With all this being said, I believe next week’s game at home against the Pats* presents an opportunity that Buffalo has not had for roughly 2+ decades. Following the Pats blowout loss today, this is the Bills moment to take control of this division with an emphatic win and show that this is your division for the next extended amount of time. It’s your moment to show that the East goes through Buffalo now. 
 

I don’t care about these past seven weeks. I don’t care about a suspect defense, questionable coaching decisions at times, and an offense that couldn’t reach the end zone against an 0-6 defense. That’s in the past. I care about the Bills putting a beat down on NE and seizing control of this division and announcing themselves as legit for the rest of the year. I care about the Bills realizing how damn good they can be if they play like sharks who smell blood in the water. 
 

An emphatic win and dominate effort on both sides of the ball will put everything that I’ve doubted about this team the past few weeks behind me. If you’re McD and Co. you have to put the most complete game plan you've ever had in Buffalo and go for the jugular right from the start. 
 

This is the biggest chance to make a statement and the biggest Bills game in recent memory. This is your moment, Buffalo Bills. 
 

 

It's the biggest chance to win the division.  You want to make a statement, beat Seattle.

[Reduce the size and complexity of the offensive play book]

2 hours ago, Alphadawg7 said:

I think they need to reduce the size of the playbook a little bit and dial down the complexity.  Players in the past have already said its the most complicated they have seen, and that was before this year where he has clearly expanded the size of the playbook.

 

We are seeing too many dumb penalties on offense like illegal formations that have taken TD's off the board or killed drives.  Get this offense into a rhythm, make it just a little less complicated and keep it fresh with Josh ability to improvise.  Daboll is trying too hard on gimmick and trick plays.  He calls too many, and has bad timing with it too.  

 

Maybe just dial back the complexity and size just a little bit, at least until our offense gets healthy and get key guys back like Brown and Feliciano.   

Bad idea.  If we truly are like the Patriots used to be then complex isn't the word for it.  If I remember correctly it's pretty much a new playbook every week.  That's why a lot of WRs failed in the NE offense.

 

As far as what's not working, John Brown and Knox aren't on the field.  That's a lot of speed and big play threat that a D doesn't have to account for.

[Bills Stat Pacing through 7 Games]

10 minutes ago, Virgil said:

This means absolutely nothing, but still fun to look at for me.  Through 7 games, the following players are on pace for:

 

Allen - 4613 Passing Yards, 466 Rushing Yards (5079 Total Yards) and 43 Total Touchdowns

Motor - 683 Rushing Yards, 2 Touchdowns

Diggs - 1378 Receiving Yards, 7 Touchdowns

Beasley - 1074 Receiving Yards, 5 Touchdowns

Poyer - 96 Tackles (not a number you want for a safety, but he's in the box and covering shallow a lot)

I wouldn't mind seeing Allen's numbers go down if Motor's go up.  In fact I'd prefer it.  I'd really like it if JAs stayed on the pace they are and Motor's went up.

[A Few Thoughts About the Jets Game, in no particular order]

16 minutes ago, Virgil said:

When coming off a two game losing streak, even if you are about to play the Jets, sometimes you have to change things up as a fan.  For myself, I kept the meal the same but didn't take notes this game.  Rather than looking at certain players or watching parts of the field, I just watched the game as a fan and was curious to see what would stand out to me hours later.  With that, if I miss a detail or something, be gentle.

 

1 - Bass - Let's start with the man who was 100% of our offense.  I'm sure there's going to be a lot of different opinions on him today as many will pick apart the misses.  I was overall impressed with him and there were two things that stood out to me, besides his obviously powerful leg.  My biggest concern with Bass going into this game was that he seemed to just boom the ball off his foot and didn't show a lot of overall control.  Today, you saw the spin and draw that most kickers have, which gave me more confidence.  The best part of his game today was his second miss.  He didn't look lost or beaten down, but instead immediately took ownership and you could tell it didn't phase him.  He didn't take the miss as a sign of not deserving of being on the field, but was instead just a miss.  We knew this season was going to have it's ups and downs with Bass, so this was a good progression game and ultimately did what we needed today.  I would have called this the "Special Teams" though, but we didn't punt.  Although, Roberts did continue to have some nice returns.

 

2 - Scripted drives.  I'll be honest, I was a little nervous when the game started as the Jets moved down the field fairly effortlessly against our defense.  The entire first half had to make you wonder if we were in for an upset.  I never was worried overall, but it was hard not to at least consider the possibility.  We were prone to the normal misdirection passes and were gashed on the zone runs.  I always think of the Mike Mularkey days when we would score an opening drive TD every game, but then couldn't do anything else.  That was the Jets in the first half with only a few possessions.  They made it look effortless until the scripted plays wore off.  That's when things got ugly for them real quick.

 

3 - Rushing Attack - I was just going to focus on Motor, but Moss overall had a strong game today as well.  It was frustrating on some of our drives how much we abandoned the run, especially when we proved that it was working well enough to keep it alive.  I think Daboll needs to work on his run/pass ratio, but I really want to talk about two things with Motor.  His pass blocking/blitz pick-ups are light years ahead of where they were last season.  He does a fantastic job there and I like to see that evolution.  Also, and I'm terrified to jinx it, but he also covers the ball a lot better and hasn't coughed one up yet.  He uses both arms on the ball and holds it tighter between the hashes; again, another improvement.  Moss was a good compliment, but I still worry about his speed.  He doesn't ever make me feel like he's going to break one.

Cause I'm young and able to buzz all night long I'm young and able mama,

Lord to buzz all night long

And you know together we can make some honey

Like the world ain't never known

 

5 - Beasley - Talk about a quite 100 yard game.  Beasley is the key to this offense while defenses are running 2-3 deep safeties against us.  How Beasley was utilized today was perfect and I hope to see more of the same.  I was hoping to see more Gabriel Davis today in a similar fashion, but I'd have to see the All-22 to watch if he was running the deep routes with Diggs.  Either way, it's crazy to think our #3 is well on his way to a 1K season.  I love the toughness he plays with and don't know if we win this game today without him.  I hope he eats the Pats alive next week and is the best short route receiver on the field.

 

6 - Kroft - Regardless of when Knox can come back, I believe Kroft needs to remain the primary started at TE going forward this season.  He didn't post huge stats, but caught all 4 balls his way and was fantastic with his blocking.  In both the rush and pass, Kroft owned guys on a few plays today and his reliability in both blocking and short yardage catching is something I can't understate.  If Allen's throw is a little better, Kroft takes a long one to the house.  Knox has a ton of potential, but I think he needs to earn that snap count before we pull Kroft's reliability off the field.  Yes, this is the first time I've ever complimented Kroft in one of these.  

 

7 - Offense - This is a tough one for me as I can't quite put a pin on what the issues are with the offense.  Yes, Allen had another 300 yard passing game, but we were also in Jets territory at least 9 times and didn't score a touchdown (I want to see a replay of the one called back).  Our red zone offense has been a point of pride this season and it was non-existent today.  I liked the few Allen called runs to keep the defense honest.  I didn't like how little Diggs was targeted early in the game, although I saw a stat of how much Josh was spreading it around.  Yes, defenses have been playing to stop the deep ball, but we've struggled to adjust through 3 games at this point and the schedule isn't getting any easier.  Today wasn't about Josh being off, but just the offense missing something.

 

8 - Safeties - Poyer is still one of the more under-rated safeties in the game.  His ability to play anywhere on the field and then, once he sees where the ball is going, go after it like a heat-seeking missile is impressive.  He's going to be a big factor next week against the Pats and I believe he will bring it.  Hyde was solid in coverage today, but I really want to talk about his PF.  Man, if there was ever an NFL play!  I get protecting the defenseless receiver, so the penalty didn't bother me too much.  I would argue that the receiver lowered his head at the time of hit, and his injury was less about the head shot and more about getting absolutely blasted by a strong NFL defender.  These guys don't get enough credit in my opinion and was happy to see the energy they brought to the defense today. 

 

9 - 2nd Half Defense.  I don't really know what to even say specifically about the group.  I know it was the Jets, but they are still technically and NFL team who showed decent success in the first half.  Someone can add the stats in for me if they want, but Darnold completed what, 2 passes in the second half?  I think they had less than 40 total yards too?  I mean, the defenders were flying to the ball and the defensive line actually started to make some plays.  Hughes was amped up towards the end and somehow walked away with an interception.  Even AJ seemed to be showing signs of life in this game.  However, I do want to call out that we put more guys in the box for pressure, which shockingly worked (sarcasm).  Hopefully, this game is the spark needed by the team going forward.  I was surprised to hear Harrison being a healthy scratch again and am concerned about his trajectory.  But the DB's played a much better game today and the linebackers didn't totally whiff on their tackles, which was a plus

 

10 - 5-2 - Talk about playing the Jets twice all your want, but we've earned wins against 3 teams with .500 records or better and have survived quite a few injuries.  Going into this game, I was hoping we would sit more guys if they thought the extra week would help them get better.  I'm glad we didn't because we needed everyone today.  My season MVP besides Allen still goes to Smoke as you can feel his absence out there. Each Sunday is a new game and the past means nothing.  We have some tough games overall coming up, but this next one is the difference maker.  Don't even look at the Pats record.  What matters is that McD has never beaten the Hoodie and the division is there's until someone actually takes it from them.  There's no excuses in this next game and 6-2 at the halfway mark is a big win with this schedule.  Every team goes through moments in a season where they have to adjust and re-invent.  Hopefully we are seeing our offense and defense slowing coming through the other side of that.  Regardless, it's about the record and 5-2 is a great start to the season with a division guiding game coming up next.  

 

Go Bills!

 

 

Very good.

The only thing I would say is that I think Knox scares the hell out of the opponents D.  Kroft is more reliable but there is no big play potential.  He is one of the missing pieces from when our Offense was top 5.  Whether he could drop it or not the D must account for that big play threat.  I do wish he was a better run blocker though as I believe the run game was the difference for our D in the second half.

No.  The biggest difference was the Star opt-out.  Our Dline probably would have been improved otherwise.  Now with Star opting out I wish we would have kept Shaq.  

Star frees up the fast LBs in our D to hunt so that the other DL can contain the edge and get after the passer.

Oliver has been forced to play 1tech which means our best 3tech has been lost as well as our 1tech.  

So it's almost like we lost Oliver and Star due to the pandemic.

First of all congrats. I was going to be rooting for the Bills next week, but may need Pats to lose for draft positioning. 
 

The Bills came out incredibly flat today and against any other  NFL team it would have cost them. Against the Jets? Not so much. 
 

1) This was the first game all year Gregg Williams defensive game plan actually worked. Ignore the stats Allen put up-they are meaningless. The Jets don’t have any corners who can cover and Williams as a result has installed a boring bend but don’t break defense. The idea is to force the offense to execute 10-12 play drives and hope they screw up once or twice to kill the drive. The Bills obviously had numerous drive killing plays. 
 

2) The Jets offense started out hot executing scripted plays, but once the bills adjusted and forced Gase to adjust and Darnold to read the defense they both bombed. It’s been pretty typical of the Gase/Darnold era. 
 

3) The Bills were fortunate to walk off the field today a winner.  It also shows how difficult it is to lose 16 games in the NFL. Had a couple of those Allen passes ended up in the hands of a Jet defender even this sorry team may have built an insurmountable lead. 
 

 

You really don't know anything about Gregg Williams do you.  Gregg Williams bend but don't break, now that's funny.  Greggo is going to try and break the other teams QB.  Your problem isn't your D.  Your Offense Is beyond garbage and your opponent gets to keep fire shots at your D.  You also got the advantage of playing with the questionable officiating against the Bills.  It's almost like the league has given two mandates this year.  

1.  Allow offensive holding even if it's blatant.

2.  Favor the large market teams whenever possible.
