Curtis Samual had his moments too.
They just give us more savvy veterans options out there that can find space or get leverage on DBs.
Add Kincaid to the mix and remember that all three of your RBs have good hands, can be part of the answer at receiver, and are lethal in space and they could break this offense out of it's self-imposed phone booth operation.
It's not like running 13 personnel is terrible, but we have to be able to open things up more to setup those heavier sets. Also they need Kincaid in the mix and probably Palmer as the X receiver over Coleman.

Bernard is a train wreck. Milano is plain washed. Taron also hasn’t been good.i am at the point where I would like to see Shaq, Dorian, and Cam Lewis as the starting LB/nickel base.
I am pretty sure I saw Taron take out both Milano and a few others with a pick as he was sucked into some right to left pre-snap motion.
He was mirroring left, took out Milano, and then that level was all tangled up as they tried to reverse course when the Bucs ran a sweep down the right side with no one there.
Outside of the KC game (not sure who played or rotation then) that 2nd level has been a mess this year with guys being on the same page and I am not sure why.
It is like watching keystone cops out there right now.

The K-Gun used the pass to set up the run, we need to adopt that philosophy
With how much lack of respect and cover 0 and press man coverage we were drawing with Coleman, Samuel, and Knox playing for Kincaid...
And with teams stacking the box with safeties playing low commiting so much to stop the run, the Bills had to make them pay with some deeper downfield play.
Amazing how much else opens up when you have someone who can get leverage on DBs deep in Davis and a great route runner like Palmer in the intermediate zones finding space.

Geez, leading Bills receiver Tyrell Shavers 4 receptions for 90 yards, 1 TD. Cook was second with 3 for 66 yards.
His slow release from press coverage last week cost Allen an INT in Miami, but the kid has been on the team for a while and they have to be seeing something from him.
Showed it today.

I don't think that's entirely my point... He was often too criticized here because he was not Ray Lewis
But seeing the contracts that beane has been willing to give out.. like Benford at 72 million for 4 years
It makes you think why even trade-up and take a 20-year-old middle linebacker .. actually made the pro bowl .. just to let him walk ... Isn't that the reason you trade up to get a guy?
No trade.. just a compensation pick
Gregg r got 80 million dollars for 4 years... Edmonds is a better football player
I certainly never said Tremaine sucked... We were willing to let him go because we thought our money would get spent wisely .. big baller Beane was his name here
It in fact has not.. so again this is Brandon Beane
He has no idea when to give out contracts.. which is why we're not as dominant as we could be
You are not wrong about the some of the head-scratching contracts Beane has handed out.
More than a few given way early for his preferred picks and trades that have landed us with too much dead cap and not enough production.

For as much as Tremaine Edmonds gets hate he was always the leader of top 10 defenses in Buffalo.. he had range and tackled
And now has the most interceptions for any linebacker over the last three seasons
We've given tons of guys money but we didn't resign our 6'5 255 lb middle linebacker who could run
I thought this debate was dead and buried 😁
We do need LBs or a LB that can fill the right gap, shed blocks, and stop the run and that was rarely Edmunds. The Bills do need to reevaluate what they need at LB, but better DL play in front of them would not hurt. Played most of the game on their heels on the wrong side of the LOS.
And I have no idea what they were doing on the edges as there were so many plays where the DE went inside and our LBs were so pulled away by motion there was no one sealing the edge to turn plays back inside and the TB RBs were just jogging untouched down the field.
It was a bit messy today.

Correcting offensive execution earlier in games is more what I was leaning into.
Especially with how shakey our defense is trying to stop the run.

No.
He was awful for much of the first half - you can say it - it is not a sin.
Being critical of some of Allen's play does not violate some kind of commandment and fans just need to get over the blind devotion.
Allen is human and my guess is Allen would probably say the same thing, "I played like crap early and the defense bailed me out a few times..." or something along those lines. I have not listened to the pressers yet.
Verbatim from Josh's presser right out of the gate after being asked by Muki how was it out there for you?
"After the first quarter it was really fun. Obviously, I want to start better. Bone-headed decision down there, I slid the protection the wrong way..."
That's my QB and one of the things I love about Josh. Even if many on this board cannot face ANY critique on play execution from JA 17, he knows when he has a few bad plays and mans-up taking the ownership. He still has that fire to be the best QB he can be.
And of course I want to see Allen having fun, seeing the field, hitting his receivers, playing loose, and having a lot of success too.

I call it normal. You are spoiled. No QB plays perfect. The dude is playing in an offense that they practiced for 3 days with a different crew and played in upwards of 40mph wind gusts. He had 3 TDS. You are being ridiculous.
Yes.
It is normal for starting-calibre QBs in the NFL to have good plays and bad plays and no QB is perfect.
I agree.

Hey numb nuts, he had 3 TDs in the first half including an incredible deep pass on a dead play. If you think that is awful, I recommend you watch literally any other game in the league.
Yes, he had some good plays and he had a string of bad plays. One does not negate the other, both can happen.
That is what I call that.-

because you aren’t going to convince anyone. He had a few bad plays, yes but every QB in the league had a few bad plays. The dude scored 3 TDS in the first half. Calling that awful is ######ed.
So what do you call several offensive possessions where there is a string of bad QB play?
Folks should be able to call bad execution for what it is.

Did any of our WR Screens work? Frustrating to see those called on second and long..
Teams seem to be defending those pretty well.
Brady keeps going to Shakir on that bubble screen in really high-leverage down and distance game situations and teams are just pouncing on it. We were fortunate that someone on the Bucs D had a case of the "stup" and grabbed his facemask - completely unnecessary.
He was not going anywhere.-

We got the good, the bad & the ugly from Josh today.
But his 'good' is SO good that it practically erases the best. Some of those plays he made were jaw-dropping.
He really is incredible overall, and we're lucky to have him.
I won't try to convince some folks that Allen had a bad first half as for some reason they cannot come to terms with any bad play from 17, but he really came on towards the end of it and then took over in the 2nd half.
When Allen gets hot he is a load for teams to handle, there is no contradiction. If the offense had a faster start they may have been able to bury TB and gotten them out of their run-heavy looks earlier.
It was a game of polar swings for Allen and the offense - I will continue to call them the way I see them. There have been too many slow starts and with our suspect defense it could very well lead to problems if teams do not turn over the ball, get the lead, and play a run-heavy safe offense like Miami did to us a week ago which led to that "L" and all the soul-searching.
My hope is that some of that slow start today was just shifting from so much 13 personnel into more 11 and 12 personnel and shotgun with WRs on our roster that have not had a lot of game reps with Allen this year with Kincaid and Colemen on the field for so many of the snaps. Perhaps it just took some time to get in sync with the new personnel emphasis and pieces.
Greatful for the win, Go Bills!-

They still scored 21 points in the first half. It’s only the second time they have done that this season. The other was against the Chiefs.
The way TB handled the end of the 1st half was a bit odd.
I was not impressed by either defense and I guess the score board tells that story pretty well. It seemed more like a game where you just wait to see which offense makes the most mistakes taking the opportunities that were in front of them.
I also did not see why TB felt forced to throw it in many sitations and they ended up with some costly TOs - particularly with the way they were running it against our D. Say what you want about Brady, but when we are running the ball well he keeps pounding the other team until they can prove they can stop it.

Probably the most fun game I've seen since the lions win last year.
Just let Josh be Josh. It really shouldn't be this complicated
He had a bad 1st half, and if Allen and the offense had not woken up and turned it on in the 2nd half that would have been the game narrative. We should not pretend that first half and slow start did not happen.
I am super glad they did wake up and there seems to be more answers for Allen with Coleman out and Palmer and Davis in the lineup. We also should be thankfull for the D limiting the Bucs to 3 when they were on the doorstep early when Allen threw that Int on our own 5 and also glad they got some timely turnovers although they were getting run through most of the game. Not sure how they are going to fix that, maybe some guys getting healthier?I think he and this offense have come out way too flat most of this season outside of a few games where the running game was cooking early allowing them to settle into control of the game. The execution has been poor, OL protection shakey, Allen's timing and passes have been off, and the offense seems stressed when teams have found a way to stuff our running game early. I was encouraged by how many open receivers I saw early even if Allen was not seeing the field very well then.
Perhaps Daboll had the right idea to design a few early QB runs and let Allen pop the pads a bit. Used to really help him shake off the rust, quell the "yips", and get his head into the flow of the game. May help the OL wake up too with some read-option or pin and pull type runs where they have to lead block for their boy.
A happy comfortable Josh is a much more productive Josh so let him do the things he needs to do early to get rolling.

But who doesn’t? I get that it’s cool to doom gasp and anoint the Pats right now, but the conference is wide open still. People still act as if the Bills are a playoff outlier and not right in the middle of it all
Hard not to imagine what this D would have been like if they were not decimated by injuries.
Strong was raw, but looking like he had the makings of a solid CB2, Hairston had the slow start this year but coming on now, Oliver was having pro-bowl kind of production and then you had Hoecht in the mix.
Not sure about our LBs - I think OBD needs to think about the kind of LB they need when they play base defense and 3 LBs.-

Allen was awful for a huge chunk of that game
And had 6 TDs
I don't know what I just watched but it was fun as hell
That's what an NFL offense is supposed to look like. Slants, deep shots, passes to RBs.
Very encouraging for the passing game going forward.
We saw a TD pass to a RB.
Ding-ding.
Maybe Brady (and Allen to some degree) will both remember what a great group of pass-catching RBs they have - especially when teams are in base with bigger downhill LBs geared to stop Allen and our RBs from chunk running plays.
They can't hang with them on most any passing route, or at least not for long.

I don't hate him but he is no #17
I did not like him coming out of college.
The way he soldiered through a completely disfunctional Brown's organization to be productive and was not the cancer I thought he would be changed my stance.
He is a tough SOB-

They were saying the same thing about Allen early in his career.
Big passing yards are never a good measure of offensive production rather EP is a better measuring stick. Maye has not had to play catch up too much and NE generally plays a solid game on both sides this year under Vrabel and are either leading or close to it.
Usually if you are racking up a lot of passing yards you have dug a good hole for your team and you are trying to pass your way back into the game against a team just preserving the multi-score lead.

Allen locked in this half other than the two point conversion. Need to figure a way to keep our coaches sucking the life out of him.
They have to do something about how dead Allen and this offense has been looking in the first half of games.
I have not checked the stats, but pretty sure most of the scores are coming in the second half of our games (Panthers run fest aside).-

Teams have been eating up that bubble to Shakir, but Brady keeps going to it in high-leverage moments.
Teams are looking for it and it aint working. -

I get tge frustration but he is so evidently hurt bad and being forced to play because of other injuries.
It sucks but its not on him anywhere near as much as everyone else.
DC needs to scheme him some protection, admittedly harder to do with Milano sucking next to him. McDermott for sulking calling plays, or not taking the reigns from Babich.
Its on Beane for assembling this roster. Rolling the dice on so many dudes that stay hurt year after year. For not making even a solid depth deal at trade deadline.
Its all so frustrating
I have nothing I can say about the injuries on this team - just baffling. We need a 50-man roster just for the defense to make it though a season.
Mecole was here for how long before getting hurt?
The Bills won; where does the Bills rank in your book in terms of contending for superbowl now?

With them playing 2 rookies on the DL, and Bosa banged up only able to use one hand, that line is really suspect right now.
I was wondering why no one was sealing the edges only to learn that they were forced to use Sanders (a 3 tech) as a DE in the rotation. Explains why he looked lost attacking blocks and setting the edge...
Looks like we are going to have to outscore folks in a boat race for any real chance against the better teams out there.
That is assuming we can get past NE.
Like the ghost of bad Christmas past seeing that team arise out of the smoking ashes of what was left after the Belichick and Brady era ended.
