  1. Our run defense has blown and given up chunks most of the year.

     

    Need better personnel or that Achilles is going to be exploited by the teams that can block...like the interior 3 of KC.

     

    Too light up front for years. Oliver gets upfield and gets washed out, and Jones gets the double and they are up to the 2nd level

     

    Need a better grouping/rotation to stop the early attempts to establish the run.

    I want to find my next ex wife. 

     

    Neither Edwards or I will get what we want this week it seems

     

    If I were your life GM the first challenge would be easy.

     

    I would have you save the time and aggravation, find a woman you can't stand, then buy her a house.

     

    Edwards broke the cardinal McD rule, don't air team things out on social media. Keep it in the building. So would not be surprised if they moved him.

     

     

    Rapp had to wait for his turn. Not sure what is holding Elam back, but if OBD needs to let Rasul walk next season then he could step in.

    May be an unpopular comment, but everyone just seems overly sensitive these days.

     

    Is it the right term to use? No

     

    But jeez, not the end of the world as the media is having a field day with this

     

    Society, driven by social media, has an auto-immune disorder. It is so sensitive that it attacks both harmful things and completely benign things.

     

    I took Brady's comment for the benign context and intent I am pretty sure he intended.

     

    So meh...nothing to see here folks... the virtual mobs can pack up the pitchforks and torches and move on.

     

    Allen did have sugar-high moments of being spastic and bailing on clean pockets and turning down easy throws...he usually found some path to redemption using his freakish athletic abilities extending plays, throwing off platform, or running through defenders.

     

    Perhaps only Bills fans knew or expected Allen to be raw coming into the league the way many analysts reacted

     

    It has been awesome watching him grow and develop before our eyes into a great QB.

  4. I want to see the Bills come out with that "Finish Them"

    mindset.

     

    You have a team that is on the ropes. We need the will and focus to deliver the knockout punch.

     

    One rep at a time, everyone focused on each rep, doing their 1/11th to execute and win their reps and the scoreboard will take care of itself.

     

    Leave no doubt.

    So, as opposed to last week, when I heard everyone worrying about the Seahawks while I felt it would be a relatively easy win for the Bills...now I'm seeing everyone puffing out their chests and predicting a blowout.

     

    This week is Miami's Super Bowl -- make no mistake.  They know their season is essentially over if they don't win this game, because they're not going 8-1 or 7-2 down the stretch.  The effort will be there...at least early on.

     

    The challenge for Miami, however, isn't just between the white lines...it's between the ears.  They have a Buffalo problem.  It's like we were with the Pats*** during their dynasty.  It's not IF something bad will happen to Miami during this game...it's WHEN.

     

    Josh lives for beating this team and he'll do it again.

     

     

    This.

     

    I expect Miami to come out swinging and definitely testing our safeties.

     

    We had a hard time with Achane moving the sticks for them the first time around so need a better plan for him.

     

    If we get up on them early I would just love a Miami team collapse and run for the bus, but we will see.

     

    I am almost concerned for Tua taking shots, but they keep bringing him back, and he keeps coming back so our defense just has to treat him like any other opposing QB that they need to plant in the turf.

  6. I think there is a big difference between pff analytics (the data they capture) and their "analyst" that draw conclusions and write articles and do podcasts. I am pretty sure they try to tweak the noses of Bills mafia with dumb takes to generate some buzz.

     

    Geno took sacks stumbled because he had his feet too close to his center's so he got stepped on, and threw a pick to a DL player.

     

    Other than that he was meh, but on target with most of his throws. He did not play a horrible game, but he also did not do enough to get them a win.

     

    Josh had his receiver slip out of his break so he threw the ball where he wasn't.

     

    The fumble, he just lost the handle on the wet ball in a downpour.

     

    Was not the best Allen game, but he was efficient, made key plays when we needed them, and he dug them out of a lot of long down and distance situations with the pre-snap penalties.

     

    And he got our team the win. Those pff clowns can hand out their awards for style points for whatever that's worth.

    Sorry if this was mentioned before, but I was just thinking about Allen making the tackle on his INT.

     

    He saved us 7 points.

     

    Defense stuffed Seattle.

     

    QBs get mad when their streaks of passes sans interceptions get broken

     

    Some of us fossils remember Jim Kelly's long streak without interceptions when it was broken.

     

    He threw the interception to the Atlanta Falcons corner Anthony Phillips. Kelly was upset and took his anger out on Phillips.

     

    The tackle from Jimbo resulted in a cleanly broken leg for Phillips that dangled in a gruesome way while he was trying to run on it and then as he fell to the ground.

     

    They replayed it over and over in slow motion in a way I am not sure the league would do again.

    There was a play on the Bills side line with some extracurriculars and McDermott got in the Seattle player's face and he chilled out.

     

    Yeah, I think that is where Coleman drove the guy he was blocking off the field and just about into our bench.

     

    There is some fight in that dog.😁

     

    And I know I have not captioned that photo in the OP.

     

    Can't compete with some of the stuff you guys come up with - classic.

     

    My favorite so far is the Will Smith reference.

    Is it a penalty to punch your own teammate? 

     

    If you do that to an opposing player it's 15 and at a warning at least 

     

    Those long drives by the offense must have really been working their big DTs to frustration.

     

    The Bills pretty much dominated.

     

    Clean up the pre-snap penalties and who knows how much easier they would have sailed to the win?

     

    It was good to see they were able to overcome those, but against better competition... McD has said all the right things, but the mistakes keep coming.

     

    I love that we use more pre-snap motion, but our Bills are going to have to take some steps towards more being more disciplined executing those.

     

    I feel like across the league those have gone up with more calls for misalignments and illegal shifts or motion as they seem to be calling those tighter too.

    #58 got the roughing the passer penalty when it was obvious.  He took 2-3 steps after Allen threw the ball and pushed Allen down.  Jaran Reed got in his face on the field.  They went to the sideline and the fight continued.

     

    The reason they got the 15 which actually trumped another Bills penalty is that Hall took 2-3 steps and hit Allen helmet to helmet.

     

    Allen may have embellished or simply was unfazed (from some angles you can see his finger was pointing to a first down as he fell... which I thought was funny), but just a dumb penalty to take and super-obvious when a defender goes helmet to helmet on a QB well after the play.

     

    The Hawks had stopped us, and then the stuup move by Hall, so their veteran NT was a bit upset.

    It will probably be a little tougher next week.  Yeah I know the Dolphins just lost to the Cardinals, in Miami.  Next week is a frustration game for the Dolphins who would love to derail the Bills' season.  As for the defense, great game.  Walker is a very good RB but I don't think he's as fast as Mostert and Achane.  I haven't been tracking the Dolphins closely so I don't know what shape their O line is in.  We will be in great shape next week if St Bernard is on the field.  

     

    Walker can be a home run back, but the Bills just didn't give him any space to get rolling.

     

    Snuffed out a lot of runs in the backfield and did a good job bracketing him with tacklers on the screens and dumps.

     

    Rasul made a great open field tackle early too.

     

    They played him well.

  12. I liked the opening defensive series.

     

    Seems they did a few things that may have been tendency-breakers stopping the run and covering the flats and screens better.

     

    Will be interested to see what some of the X's and O's guys come back with from the all-22 review.

     

    Was nice not seeing a team march down the field with scripted plays for a TD on their first possession and spotting them 7 before figuring things out.

     

    Will see if Babich did anything different.

  13. Dang it.

     

    So close on so many plays to make a stop.

     

    Left the middle open a lot and giving Geno a bit too much time back there.

     

    Run D has been pretty good for the most part, don't like that we let this team work it's way down to the Red zone....how many red zone stops this game?

     

    Also damn lucky Seattle imploded so many times on the door step.... I will take it though.
