How about instead of running Gore at the goal line on the same play 4 times in a row, run a play action pass to a TE that slips a block? By definition, that was insanity.
How about when you have 2nd and goal, you don’t get cute with a WR jet run that loses 10 yards? That’s a play for the middle of the field when you don’t have all 11 defenders within a few yards.
If you run the jet sweep there they should have tried it with Knox.... At least he can bowl over a safety and get back to the LOS.

I remember the 8-0 snow game where Moorman had a snap go flying over his head and he kicked it out the back of the end zone for a safety. First 8-0 game in the NFL since something like 1927.
I remember the 6-3 game where Derek Anderson won the game for the Browns by completing 2 passes all afternoon for all of 23 yards. Bleacher Report called that the "worst game ever" https://bleacherreport.com/articles/270428-worst-game-ever-buffalo-vs-cleveland-review
Weird stuff happens against the Browns. I'm already losing sleep over it.
Maybe we’ll get to see OBJ and Baker get into a fight

Sure, but I just don't see the point of Josh running if there aren't big plays to be had. He took over games last year with his legs.
Mostly from scrambling. IMO Daboll only needs to use it once or twice a game just to keep defenses honest.... unless it’s getting chunk yardage. Teams are spying Allen this year.

Holy hyperbole. Am I allowed to use someone that didn't set the NFL world on fire in his first year but then became great after? Like Geno Atkins?
I’ll add Mike Daniels to that as well. Most of the successful “short” DTs take a season or two to really figure out how to play. Aaron Donald is certainly the exception rather than the rule.... Oliver is currently on pace to match John Randles rookie numbers. It’s gonna take some time for this kid to figure out hand fighting, block shedding and leverage at the NFL level.

Gore looked his age yesterday. That didn't help on those interior runs.
There are no easy answers to the 3rd quarter lulls, so I'll blame it on playcalling and execution.
If we're whining about playcalling, where are the explosive Allen runs? He hasn't broke a 20+ yarder all season.
There's no use calling his number if he'll get you 4 yards and a cloud of dust.
Calling the occasional run is worthwhile to keep the RPOs believable. Same with the jet sweeps. Now, calling so many of these is an issue.

A couple interesting notes:
Allen has now played 8 3rd quarters this season. He has 291 passing yards in those 8 quarters. Some folks around here are clamoring for a 300 yard game, well that's 2 games worth of time and still not 300 yards!
We've passed the ball 146 times in the first half and only 97 times in the second half. Maybe some data to back up the taking our foot off the gas arguments? If you include Allen's rush attempts he's had 200 attempts for 1094 yards in the first half and 125 attempts for 688 yards in the second half. 75 fewer attempts in the second half seems like a lot...
I’d be curious to see the pass to run ratios for each quarter and the defensive averages by quarter.
As for 300 yard games... I’m not overly concerned about that. I’d much rather see Allen consistently put up 225-250 yards with a 2:1 TD/INT ratio, especially if he’s adding another 35-50 yards on the ground and the occasional rushing TD. I’m pretty sure a fair amount of folks here will find a way to belittle a 300 yard game even if it on loves Allen beating Mahomes in a shootout. ?

Yea, it's been a season long issue, so they don't get the benefit of the doubt for the last two wind games.
Weird things happen in 3rd quarters too.... it's just all stuck in second gear. We had a great drive to start the half and then sputter, turn over on downs, in FG range. Then we have a 50/50 ball... obvious PI... not called... punt.
Bottom Line, they just need to be better. We can't play 3 quarters of football every week and expect to continue this run.
It’s a concern that weird things happen in the 3rd every game. I’m not sure what’s off, but there’s enough of a track record to start guessing.

3rd quarters are clearly an issue. Nobody can debate that. It is worth pointing out that the past 2 games in a row, we've been going into heavy winds in the 3rd quarters. Not an excuse, but perhaps something worth noting.
Wind may have contributed. IMO the problem comes from Daboll being slow to adapt his playcalling to exploit new weaknesses in the opposing teams halftime scheme adjustments. He’s not recognizing it. It seems like he doesn’t adapt until he gets feedback from players and some photos... It’s an issue, and I don’t think it improves till Allen is able to correctly change plays at the line.

The Denver game is my “Billy’s loss”. Baltimore is playing us after a stretch of Texans, Rams, and 49ers. I expect them to get beat up a bit, particularly against SF. I think we have a good chance to win a close one at home. Cowboys have a similar situation playing two NFCN teams and the Pats right before us. I think this team comes out amped up for their only nationally televised game (minus a bills/pats flex possibility).

How about 4 year olds, will that suffice? My granddaughter is 4 and we watch Frozen multiple times just about every time we go to visit, which is at least once a month.
Any age that helps them “let it go” is sufficient. ?♂️

Man. Some folks here need to sit down with 5 year olds and watch Frozen on repeat until they can’t forget the theme song hook.

Oliver actually got some penetration on that last run, albeit on the backside.
He needs to improve his hand fighting skills for next year.

In all Seriousness I get worried about Frazier a lot. Wasn’t there a game year one or 2 mcd took over play calling. I don’t know I have ever been sold on him.
Frazier’s calls are okay. It’s execution.

On our last goal line series people cried for Daboll to run it from the 2. He listened this team and people are still mad?
It’s bills fans... par for the course

Gore had holes... he was slow to the holes and they got filled up.
Yup. The QB sneak would have worked on each down there

Interior line is blocking well.

We are known to give up career days to rbs, imagine if Peterson had his career day lol. I hope that dont bite me in the arse
If he puts up 300 yards Sundays are gonna be for family time. Serious... his career day is 296 yards.

Half of Gores games over the past five years. ?♂️

No Oliver?
They had to make sure his coat situation was nailed down before sending him in
At the turn, here's how I see it...
