Good season boys...although my heart cannot take many more like this. Did not think our team would have gotten this deep with all the injuries that piled up. Gutsy year from those rookies that contributed, those aging vets that ended up starting, and those PS call ups, and grandpa Prater. Josh continues to evolve his game as an elite QB and Cook had an elite year at RB. We will be back better and stronger for this season we had after some tweaking and retooling. Now I have to hope NE gets crushed. Can't bear to see those guys advance. Go Bills!

Would it kill Brady to run a play action pass on 1st down instead of a run play every time.

And that is why he was available. Meanwhile we have a dynamic rookie Hairston who cannot stay healthy for any length of time.

If Hancock goes in you know where the ball is going. McD would have to shift away from zone because he just goes to his landmarks and defends nothing. Still a really green rookie.

Too often. The common complaint is he goes inside and loses outside contain like last game where we would have had a safety in the EZ, but he went inside and the QB squirted around the outside. Not complaining too much, we have gotten our $ out of Bosa this season.

This is why you play for that bye week. Means a lot to get that week to heal. Tough year to pull that off with our schedule although we handled most of the games I thought were going to be tough and dropped ones I never thought we would. Is what it is...they have to man-up and grind it out. Although I think it really is unfair to have us play a rested team across country on a short week. Tilting the field a bit too much for Denver.

They were 8th in total yards and 6th in scoring which is very good. To each their own, but I think the bigger story for our Bills is that the defense has tightened up the past few games playing the number of rookies, aging vets, and PS players that they have plugged in. Defense has always been my biggest post season concern historically for our Bills. Injuries have piled up and unfortunately we are thin across the board and that just is what it is. Allen had been getting away from some of the better habits he had last MVP year and that culminated into that less than spectacular game vs the Eagles. I wanted him to get back to letting the game come to him, not forcing things too much, and picking his spots to take the deep shots and when to wear the cape and scramble. I did not think for a minute that Allen could not course-correct and get back to that level of play. He did just that, and the defense did their job too - as they have done for the past few weeks so a good time for both groups to play their best ball...injuries are the going concern with maintaining that level of play. Short week to try to get healthy enough to have success at mile high. Such a stressful season to be a fan. Denver has a decent running game which is usually our defensive Achilles heel, but they use a lot of zone blocking and with how our defensive coaches have used gap exchanges I think those are pretty effective disrupting those blocking schemes...we will see.

Fair enough as it was a bad reference and went back to trusty pro football focus. 27.9 ppg If you want to focus more on the metrics that pushed that downward their lowest offensive outputs came against the Texans who they played 2x and then the Seahawks and Rams. We have an idea how the Texans can smother an offense. Their offense hit its stride and actually peaked in December where they were scoring 39.3 ppg. Picking nits aside, they had a potent balanced offense and our defense held them under the pace they had of PPG in December and forced key turnovers. The defense played well.

Small wonder Bosa always has this look on his face like a kid waking up from a long bad dream.

Dumb move by the chargers then. Should've kept the same personnel out there as NE's defense looked gassed.

Blame it on PTSD of my Bills getting jobbed by the refs whenever they played those clowns in Boston.

Why the ref holds up the offense long enough for NE to sub? That was weird too and the 2nd time they did that.

Neither of these teams look unbeatable. Texans D may have a field day with Maye (no pun intended). Just a sloppy game.

What was that defender doing that 2nd time he spun in front of Maye? I have seen the replay twice and I am still baffled why he did not just continue his pass rush. Weirdest thing... It was like he was avoiding a phantom after Stephenson chipped him and pirouetted for no reason 3 feet from Maye.

Always felt like that was the vibe off him too, whereas JA17 you know he loves the game and has a fire in his belly to win.
