    Has the defensive side of the ball improved or has the quality of quarterbacking regressed?

    Good question.  One thing for sure is after this weekend NO ONE can claim Allen is a turnover machine.  Because if Allen is TO prone then so is Hurts & Mahomes.  And they throw pick 6's to boot.

    I wouldn’t say the chance we just handle them is extremely small. The Patriots slapped us right across the face earlier this season. I expect the Bills will remember that and come out and play accordingly.

    I think the Bills/Pats game is more likely to go the way of the Raiders & Redskins games then the Giants or Chargers games.

    The Bengals-Chiefs game next week is MASSIVE. If the Bengals can pull the upset, which I can totally see, we're going to be back in nail-biting territory.

    The Bengal's are not beating the Chiefs.  The tape on Browning is out and the KC defense will feast. At the same time Cincy has problems on D. The Chiefs will move the ball and put up points.

  4. Well now that we have seen the carnage as virtually the entire AFC wildcard group was laid waste this weekend do the negative Nellie's appreciate the Bills victory more?

     

    Sure the Bills were sloppy with 3 TO's and way to many penalties.  But they got the win.  What was the excuse of the Bengal's who got blown out?  Or the Colts that lost by 19 to a team with a losing record?  Or Denver that lost at home to a team with 3 wins?  Or the Jags that got annihilated by TB?

    For as much talk as Allen gets. He owns the 17th best TD to Turnover ratio ever.

     

    Lawrence fumbles a lot. I think Lawrence and Allen are exact opposites in this regard: Lawrence was a can't miss 1st rounder and Allen was a risky pick. Now Allen is a megastar and Lawrence is very average but the sports media beats up Allen and holds up Lawrence because of their original takes on the QB when they were coming out of college

    By my count Lawrence now has 19 total turnovers compared to Allen's 18.  Lawrence also has a total of 23 TD's while Allen has 40.  Seventeen more TD's with one less TO - enough said.

    I couldn’t imagine being a Bills fan AND being so down on Allen, who is the best thing that’s happened to this franchise since Jim Kelly. We have a sure-fire Top5 QB in the league (and I’m being reserved). He isn’t perfect, he makes mistakes (like they all do), quit being such negative Nanceys.

     

    It's a lot easier to imagine when you realize they're not really Bills fans but trolls.

    One step.  And a smart QB knows not to underthrow a pass going back across the middle of the field.  Quit treating the guy as if he’s the second coming.

    You claim you "love Allen" then call him dumb.  Sorry but I read your posts and I don't buy it.

    Yes we are fortunate.  And also yes he has to stop throwing dumb picks.  They are not mutually exclusive.

    They are mutually exclusive:

     

    *  First off the INT last night was not a dumb throw.  It was a good decision that might have gone the distance had Allen put a couple of more yards on what was a very difficult throw. 

     

    *  Second, Allen's high TD production is in part due to his willingness to take risks.  INT's are a natural result of risk taking.

    We all love Josh, we all think he’ll bring a Lombardi to WNY, but you can set your watch by the dumb picks he throws time after time.

    A lot of QB's this season are throwing nearly as many picks or losing more fumbles while not coming close to producing the TD's Allen does.

    Going into this game everybody was saying that CURRENTLY the Bills are hot, and on a roll, and peaking at the right time. But the reality is that last night they went right back to the inconsistency we saw earlier in the year, like in the Tampa & NY Giants games. My whole point is that they’re pretty much the same team they were earlier in the year, and I’ll be very surprised (but delighted) if they make it to the SB.

     

    Who cares what "everybody" (national NFL talking heads) is saying. I don't look to the Cowherd's & Nick Wright's of the world for validation of the Bills.

     

    And if you remember back 2021 when the Bills did get HOT and were on a roll at the end of that season they had a couple of clunky wins against the Jets & Falcons. And those sloppy wins came after their great win at NE in week 15.

  11. And as others have pointed out you don't want to play an NFL team that was humiliated on national TV the week before. The Chargers were losing to the Raiders 63 - 7 at one point.  That is as bad as the Denver loss to Miami.  In hindsight it's not surprising LA came out fired up.  Collinsworth alluded to the fact that at practice he observed a Charger team chomping at the bit to knock the Bills off.

     

    The Bills were negative 3 on TO's and had a lot of penalties at critical times.  That they still won is a great sign.  Had they done this in 3 previous games we SHOULD have won (Jets, Pats & Broncos) Buffalo would be sitting at 12 - 3 and on the verge of locking up the #1 seed.

    He’s one of three guys that make it look as close as it was, rolling right, Diggs running in the opposite direction, a few feet from being a TD Buffalo. He just needed to set his feet, probably felt confident after the Gabe TD (similar, but his was much easier to complete on the run). Id rather have a confident Allen than hesitant Allen. He completes that next time. 

    Agree.

     

    Also I saw a couple of comments on Allen needing to work on his "long ball".  By my count Allen threw 3 deep passes yesterday with one intercepted at the opponents 42 yard line leading to a charger FG, one went for a Bills TD and the other set the Bills up for a TD.  So 3 deep shots resulting in a 14 - 3 Bills run.  Seems like the deep shots are just fine.

    Brown also blew the block on a blitzing linebacker late in the game. That's when Allen threw off his back foot to Shakir for the apparent touchdown.

     

    The conventional wisdom, based in part on PFF grades, is that Brown is "much improved." But watch him on the highlights, this or any other game. He routinely whiffs. Routinely, as in pretty much every pass pro where he has to, you know, block. 

     

    "Allen goes back, dodges a [Brown] pass rusher, gets the throw off." Sound familiar? 

    Two things can be true:  Brown is much better then last year when he was awful but he is still playing at an average level.

    Big lane, but many Bills not in the pic.  Don’t think it would have been a score.

    There was a view where the camera pulled back and there were 5 or 6 Bills between the 30 - 40 yard line shadowing events.  There was NO way the Chargers were going to score on that play.  The reason they even completed a couple of pitches inside their own 40 was that the Bills were not committing their players.  In fact it was a very good design by the Bills special team coach.

    We're 4-1 in the Joe Brady era and the offense was excellent in the one loss.  Let the man do his thing.  Biggest thing right now is that the OL looks excellent in run protection and poor in pass protection.  Josh will still get his opportunities to win games with his arm when it counts.  He did that today.

    Great observation. 

     

  16. I believe Allen set an amazing NFL record tonight with his 3 total TD's giving him 40 for the season.  Allen has now had 40 or more TD's in FOUR straight seasons.  No QB has ever done that before.  And Allen did it this year in 15 games and last year he did it in 16 games.

    The Morse penalty did not look like a hold. But the one against Spencer Brown as inexcusable. He gets beat, again, and he leg-whips the guy. He's both mediocre and dirty. I don't need to hear how much he's improved either. Just watch how often Allen dodges the man Brown fails to block.

     

    But the heck with Brown. I'm smiling thinking of Allen, Shakir, and Oliver. 

    The worst think about the Brown penalty was that he didn't need to do it.  Allen got the pass off to Cook quickly on that play.

    Only good teams can overcome three turnovers and horribly timed penalties and still win. Man was that a painful game to watch though.

    The O line penalties were brutal.  On that one drive after the Chargers had cut the lead to 21 - 16 the line had 2 bad penalties in a row that cancelled Allen throws for 1st downs.  Had we gone down and scored a TD that drive it would have likely been game over.
