Bob in STL

Didn’t they do that twice last year and fell behind both times?

It can be done. It requires a great game plan and great execution. They must come out ready and fired up and they must stay that way and play a complete game. They motivation should be there. We are going to learn everything we need to know about this years Bills Team on Sunday.

This game will tell me a lot about McD and his compete level. Win the toss, do not differ again, get the ball and score first.

What could have been a convincing win was a squeaker. Tomorrow the W means everything. Right now I can be disappointed in the second half. McD has a lot to think about in the long week to next game.

Not good any way you think about this. Wasted pick and very thin at CB.

It’s not gonna be unstoppable, it might work at times, but we don’t have Reed, Lofton, Beebe, Thurman, and McKeller/Metzellars. Only Diggs is that circle.

I did not enjoy watching the game. The offense is not fun to watch. A W is good no matter what but this team is in trouble.

Jacksonville’s owner wants to play in London. If he could, he would move the team there.

It is not the flight time. It the effect that the 5 time zone changes has on you body and on your eating and sleeping habits. The Bills should have left Buffalo on Tuesday, after the Monday off day for the players to recover. It takes several days to acclimate to the time change. It would be better to practice while acclimating to the change then to play a game when your feeling like crap. Any businessman who travels to the uk knows this.

We needed a hero

My 5 game summary. Defense has been very good, bolstered by the play of Bernard, Milano and a strong DL rotation. Injuries are a problem. Depth at CB and LB were an issue to start the season and the limited depth we had will be tested going forward. Lots of key players are now out, just like last season. The Offense is inconsistent and so far not able to score enough versus better defenses. Allen’s weapons are Diggs and a bunch of average receivers and backs. Dorsey is not able to really utilize Knox/Kincaid so far. Allen has been sometimes good, sometimes great, and sometimes unable to find receivers and make plays. As always, he is the key. A positive has been the play of the OL. Coaching - Bills were not properly prepared to play in both of their losses. The London game had a ponderously poor plan to arrive Friday morning and play Sunday, overthinking the obvious once again. Tough schedule ahead. Division title possible but lots of work to do. The team is still good enough to win it all if they can stay healthy and peak at playoff time.

We needed the first down. There was no living for another play. That was it, and he surrendered. Allen has more than proved his toughness. We want Allen to slide when he actually can, when there is another play. I find it amusing that you don’t see the difference.

Not a trap game. They are a playoff team that beat us in the last meeting. We owe them an azz kicking. The only issue is the travel and the related distractions. We are veteran team now, one that has overcome adversity in the past, and we should be able to manage this situation. We need a calm and patient Josh and another good effort by the McDefense. If we get these things then the score is: Bills - 31 Jax - 17

The Giants are a complete mess. Daboll lost the team already. Miami should be 20 point favorites.

Could end up being a good draft class even if Elam does not hit. People focused on his size. Benard is the same size as his teammate, All Pro Matt Milano. It is the size of your LBs are when your defense is focused on stopping the pass. If the opponent runs, then you need to have the DL tie up blockers and let the LBs run to the ball.

Beane is top-notch. Glad we have him.

Just watched the “Fastest 3 Minutes” with Chris Berman on MNF. For me it’s a nostalgic take-off of Howard Cosell’s “halftime highlights” segment that started in the 70’s. Back then, it was first national TV recap of all the games and it really made MNF special. Tuesday morning in my Jr High hallways we were talking about the MNF game and the halftime highlights.

He didn’t not accept any blame. He was speaking as a Team Captain.

Defensive players today have to be fast and fearless. Just being strong and willing to tackle is not enough in todays game. Look at our linebackers today compared to the proto-type LBs from the 70/80/90’s. This position has completely evolved to help support the passing game but fast and strong enough to snuff the run. We’re are fortunate as Benard looks to be in the Milano mold and we have two LBs capable of keeping an offense like Miami’s at bay.

McDermott definitely exposed a few things that other teams will use against Miami in the future. However, scheme alone only gets you so far - you have to have the horses and they have to execute. We have some very good, and even underrated, players on defense. For example, most teams do not have LBs that fly to the ball like Milano and Bernard.

Go to to FinHeaven and that is all they talk about. They are the only team that gets injuries and the only team that gets bad calls from the refs. You have to overcome injuries. Last year we lost pretty much the entire secondary and never had any games with all the starters - we still finished 13-3.

Some Dolphins wore "wondering why" emoji tee-shirt into the stadium. Some were wondering why they were not the favorites for the game. A team that worries about the point spread is probably not prepared. Now they know that they were playing the Bills defense, not Denver.

Great win today. One of the top regular season wins ever when I think about. Glad it was at home for our fans. Miami is not going away anytime soon so hopefully the rest of the league sees what it takes to slow down that offense and Miami losses a bunch more times. McD had it figured out today. The Bills need to enjoy it for a day, then back to work. Jax in London will be tough. Go Bills !!!

The offense is still a work in progress with 2 new starters at OG, and a OC that is still figuring out the 12 formation and how to use Kincaid. We are better at RB and the left side of the OL has been very good. We need better and more consistent play from the RT and WR2. Dorsey makes some ponderous calls, especially short yardage. Not worried right now as long as they keep the turnovers down and stay healthy - I hope they peak later in the season when it really counts.
