Bob in STL

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.

I have seen way too much rowdiness in Rich/Ralph/Highmark over the decades. Fights, drunkenness, profanity, was often the norm. Seems worse than ever so I stopped going.

This. Maybe Bill can start the blueprint to stopping the Miami offense? This will be an interesting match up.

Todays game shows they can execute. Allen was patient and he took what they gave, and he still threw some special darts for TDs. He just has to remember not to revert to impatience. All phases were good and there were many contributors. I think and hope that last week was just a combination of playing a good defense and some preseason rust that was not knocked off yet.

I will say that Cook played a great game today, his best ever as a Bill. The entire offense played great today.

Good point on the Jets defense. I can’t help but think this is not all on Allen but he sure made too many errors. . I look at the receiver route running, the pass pro, the lack of a running game. The offense is not finely tuned. It’s like the way they ended last season. The Jets had something to do with it.

He didn’t beak any runs. He didn’t make a difference. the whole offense was out of sync. Until they fix that the team will depend on individuals to make the occasional big play, which is mostly on Allen, and this is the way they played last season too. My point is the offense was bad. blame the coaches, McD, Allen, all of them. Cook did not make a difference. If you think 3.8 per carry is good that’s your opinion. I can’t remember him breaking a tackle so the fancy stats are nice but this one does not translate to what happened on the field. I want more yards and then we can give the team the credit.

Yes. Cook had 12 carries for 46 yards, 3.8 yds/attempt. Mediocre at best. Since we have some “proof” that he got some yards after contact then look at the OL and the overall play execution. It pretty much stinks. Kurt Warner already pointed out the poor route running by the Bills receivers in his video breakdown. The Bills lack attention to details. More and more this is looking like a team that lacks preparation on the fine details of the game. They wait for Allen to bail them out. Very few are doing their 1/11th consistently. It won’t matter what formation we use unless they all execute their roles consistently.

It’s always about yards and moving the chains. . Breaking tackles is not always avoided tackles. I don’t care who plays, just get positive yards.

Interesting numbers. Josh had a lot of good games in the last 13 but clearly something is wrong. It’s hard for me to blame Dorsey for the Jets game. Josh had the turnovers and he was bailing out of the pocket a lot.

They are not co workers and they are not peers. Diggs is a football player on the Bills team and Maddy is not. She was joking around. Why you assigning value to people and if she was of “higher value” would it matter?

Josh Allen is in his 7th NFL season and he still has people telling him to play smarter football. Coaches, the GM, coordinators, and players are all taking to him yet he continues to make the same mistakes that high school QBs make. Troy Aikman was actually trying to be nice but at the same time he was shocked at the mistakes Josh was making. It really was like watching a rookie on MNF. Sunday will be a big game for Josh to start the process of putting this one behind him. One game at a time, he needs to simplify his game and get on track. I am pulling for him but actually I am quite shocked at the regression.

You don't get game balls for losses.

I felt something wrong when we settled for 3 at the end of the first half. The offense was not in sync, the only thing reliable was Diggs.

There are a lot of reasons to not like the matchup on paper, then add in it is MNF on the road, it is in NYC (ok Jersey) with the 9/11 ceremony, and Rogers, etc. Given all that the Bills will probably win by 2 TDs. Go Bills! This is just an awful take. Wow.

It might be interesting to see Milano's 13 missed tackles. I bet that some of them are on plays when most LB's would not have been in the play to miss the tackle.

The biggest baloney you read here and in the National Media is that Josh Allen's "prime" and his "window" is closing. Over the history of the league many QB's made it to the SB at a much older age. The new narrative on Josh not working hard enough is garbage and its the exact opposite of the early narrative - he worked harder than his contemporaries because he was so "raw" coming out of college. Remember when they said all stuff about his technique and accuracy and everything else? Too many overblown media opinions, especially related to NFL.

Some concern is merited. 1. The OL might not be better, even with the changes at guard, unless the two tackles can step up. 2. The DL has good potential but only if both Oliver and Rousseau improve and become consistent playmakers. 3. Edmunds is gone and no one stepped up in preseason. 4. Von Miller is an expensive question mark. 5. Our corners are looking mediocre, we need the old Tre back. 6. McD has had issues with game day coaching, now he is running the defense on game day, maybe he always was. 7. Dorsey is not making me forget Daboll on the positive side we have Josh Allen and we gave him a few new weapons. We are still good enough to win the AFCE and get a shot at the big trophy.

Klecko was very good, not great. Same level as Smerlas. Steve Tasker was great in his role, a better all around athlete, and more of a game changer than either Klecko or Smerlas.

I guess you missed the draft and free agency in the off season?

RIP Jim Brown. Running back GOAT.

All this time I thought we lost because our defense could not stop them, our OL could did block, and our coaching staff didn't learn anything from the prior Monday Night Game. Huh.
