No_Matter_What

Disagree on pass rush. I just finished defensive All-22. They didn't suck. They created a lot of pressure, but Tua either threw it too quickly to matter or he scrambled and Hill/Waddle made plays. Strongly disagree on Sanders. He was good to very good. He made some pressures, and he was double teamed almost every snap. Granted, he is not Ed Oliver, but he played well for a rookie. It just wasn't that easy to see live. Agree on Tre. That missed sack on 3&12 was brutal and changed the flow of the game. Should've been third punt in a row for the Dolphins and chance for double dip for the Bills, and instead of that Dolphins had a lengthy drive and tied the game. Other notes - to me Daquan Jones was really good and created lot of pressure. Groot was MUCH better than people give him credit for. He set the edge as always and created at least 3 big pressures, and it's not his fault that Tua/Waddle/Hills made plays. Even AJE had some plays, whole dline just didn't finish. As for others, everyone seemed to have good moments and bad ones. For example Thompson was mostly good and gets a lot of praise here, but he badly missed a tackle for loss which lead to 16y Gordon run (on Dolphins 2nd half TD drive). Had White finished his sack, it'd become a blowout.

Yeah and then you can just realize that no matter how you look at individual games Buffalo has the best offense over the last five years. Reality is that you want perfection, and it doesn't exist in the real world. And yeah this was very good performance by the offense. First three drives up to the unfortunate ending of the third one were maybe the best three consecutive drives in Allen era. Maybe one less punt and I'd call it great performance.

Apart from the last FG drive, we had 25 first downs in the game if I count correctly. We passed 13 times and ran 12 times. How is that predictable?

I'll say it again. People like you and many others in this thread just won't be happy until we score 40 in every game. It's ridiculous.

Wanted to ask about Kenneth Grant and didn't know if it deserves starting a new thread, sorry mods if I should've. Anybody noticed his play yesterday? Many TBD posters wanted him for Bills and he surprisingly went to Miami at 13. I read Dolphins forum before the game and they were disappointed, apparently he didn't do much the first two games. I never pay attention to opponent's defense while watching live but I guess he didn't do much in this one too since I don't remember hearing his name and we run a ton on them (and run stopping was supposed to be his strength).

22 posts quoted? I noticed that this is how you do it but man this one is impressive!

He did, just like last game vs Jets.

I might be wrong but I don't think that stat is correct. I think that we didn't lose turnover battle 25 games. Might be wrong.

Too soon to judge, but it seems that way. He created INT with his instant pressure. Incredible how he moves for such a big man.

No you're not. There is another thread going on already

He was invisible these three games but the season is long.

I'll watch all22 later when it comes out but it didn't seem to me that Benford was any better when covering Hill. Also, I don't have data but it seems to me that Benford allows way too many catches and yards this year.

This is how spoiled Bills fans have become. It is really sad. We just scored 31 points with another FG missed. So if Brady doesn't make EVERYTHING seem difficult, we score 40+ each game, right? There are coaches and players paid to do their jobs on the other side too.

People will complain due to their expectations but this was a solid NFL win against team which came to play and still has good players esp. on offense. Fine with me.

I know. Knox is not a problem. And most posters who comment on Knox being expendable don't care about salary cap.

This is confusing to me. We are killing all everyone with 13 personnel with both Knox and Hawes (and Kincaid) and people keep talking about Knox being expendable due to Hawes. I don't get it. Let's keep all and keep winning.

He's still skinny though

Completely random, but I am watching All22 again and noticed that 1 second before each snap Cook throws out something small white behind him. Anybody has a clue what that might be?

I won't argue how good is Brady as OC since I don't feel competent enough. But I can guarantee you that 100% of fanbases feel that their OCs are extremely frustrating at times, including 49ers, Rams and Chiefs fans, and that you would feel the same with any coordinator.

Was watching All-22 of the first half of Jets game. My random thoughts: Wilson beat Benford for solid gain on 3rd down in Jets first drive but Field missed him completely. Javon Solomon lined inside on 3rd and longs couple times. On his first carry on 3&2 Ray Davis went wrong direction and instead hitting a hole for 5-15y gain he ran to the wall for 1y. He was fine on 4th down. Brown and Torrence are amazing blockers. On Josh's first grounding he had Palmer open enough imo for the TD but it required perfect ball placement and Josh didn't pull the trigger. Cook running was a piece of beauty. Knox and Kincaid back to back drops less so. Sam Franklin knows his ST tackles lol. Josh was a little of in the 1st Q, he missed open Shavers and then Kincaid TD, but the latter was not an easy throw. On Hall's single longer run both Milano and Bernard were blocked but then Hall met Bishop who was in perfect position. Other than that, both Milano and Bernard had good games. So did Cam Lewis and Dorian Williams imo. Really sucks that Milano was injured again. Trubisky was hero of the day with that throw to Palmer when Josh got hurt. The line blocked really well too. Walker and Sanders were good. Nothing flashy, but just solid work. Sanders was close to a sack. I liked what I saw from Coleman. Couple good catches, his OPI was close, and he had one really good scramble drill where Josh just pump faked instead of throwing to him and it was a mistake, could've been nice gain.

Agreed. It is really realistic that they come 4-4 to Buffalo and leave 4-5. Yeah they are still pretty good but they can lose any of those games so I'd be surprised if they ended up better than 4-2 in that stretch. If they somehow lose to the Giants it might be even questionable if we shouldn't root for them vs Ravens. Brazil wasn't their home game, it was Chargers home game. They play Chargers at home in December.

Snap counts vs Jets (47 total) DTs: Sanders 23, Walker 22, Jones 22, Logue 16 DEs: Bosa 26, AJE 26, Groot 25, Solomon 23

If you take ANY offense and put there average starter at QB such offense won't be elite.

He meant Burrow injury

I said this in other thread, he is a fine backup. But the do have a really hard schedule - @Vikings, @Broncos, Lions, @Packers.
