    I hear you. Just want to get a W, and get out.

     

    For me, it is the combination of the time, place, and the Jags. Who ever gets excited for a Jags game? 

     

    I'm sure Jason Mendoza does/did.

    why a half hour late?

     

    I need time to get my workout and breakfast in and then a pause to let everything settle and digest a bit, I like drinking but on an empty stomach I get in trouble. Gotta lay a foundation and let it set right to sustain pace for the day. It's a marathon, not a sprint.

    The last time the Bills lost in regulation by more than 4 points was against Indy 41-15 on November 21st 2021. The last time they lost by more than 3 points in regulation was  December 6th 2021 in the wind game to the Patriots 14-10.

     

    Since that time they have lost in OT twice by 6 points to the Buccanneers and Jets and the other regular season losses were by 3,3 and 2 points.

     

    That's pretty crazy. At this point it pretty much takes an Act of God AND the Bills killing themselves with missed plays and turnovers AND the other team performing some type of miracle to beat them.

     

     

     

    We're basically the Brady Pats of the division now. You have to play us perfectly and every ball has to bounce your way for your team to beat the Bills and even then 90% of the time it isn't enough.

    I'm surprised this isn't talked about more....

     

    Why does the NFL stick these games so early on Sunday morning for North America?
     

    London is 5 hours ahead,  so it could be a 6pm start in London to make it a 1pm game in the states.

     

    Seems perfectly reasonable

     

    A lot of people go to church on Sunday morning.
     

     

     

    Yeah but this way the NFL gets to have a product on TV from basically 9:30am until almost midnight when the SNF game wraps. That's $$$ and the NFL likes many things, but it LOVES money.

     

    I also get to start drinking at 10am, which is fine by me.

  5. It's a combination of all three. He's taking the short/underneath stuff, our OL is good at pass pro and decent at run blocking and we have a running game that is competent enough that it requires respect and game planning.

     

    All those factors are forcing defenders to play closer to the LOS which opens up the downfield shots when there's 1-1 coverage. That's how is completion % is so high with his YPA also being high.

    I blame the last Jags game loss on Daboll and Daryl Williams. Williams got beat nonstop. The Jags were in Allen's lap the entire game.

    I blame Daboll, because he had zero flexibility to adjust. Maybe some running plays? Maybe some quick passes that don't take forever to develop? No? Just let your QB stand back there and get killed when it is obvious the offensive line can't pass protect that day?

    Both of those guys are gone, so feeling better about this one being a W.

     

    Wasn't Dion sick or hurt in that game so we had to start Spencer Brown at left tackle and didn't we have depth players playing guard? I seem to recall our offensive line played downright offensively that game.

    Bump. Is anyone lacking excitement now? 

     

    Season is young, one of our (extremely good) starting corners went down with a potentially career ending injury. Yes our DL looks beastly, yes we're playing great football in all phases but there's still a long slog to get to the post-season.

     

    I'm going to reserve my excitement for when we punch our ticket to the playoffs because to me, with where this team is at right now, that's when it gets real.

  8. Whatever Elam's issues might be, he's going to have to figure it out quickly but at least we have a slate of games where he can settle in and find his legs before the back end of the schedule shows up and ***** gets real.

     

    Hope Benford is okay and bounces back quick, we're already a bit thin at CB but have some players like Neal or Lewis that can play that spot in a pinch. Feel good about Jackson/Benford/Elam holding it down, but gonna be lame if we're down to our second string secondary by week 4 with the prospect of having to call up Ingram or Brown off the practice squad to round out depth.

    I haven’t watched the video yet but the TD to Davis was a play used before, specifically in our win over the Vikings in Josh’s rookie year.

     


    The play is at 1:37

     

     

    Noticed that, play design was very similar to the Vikings play where Chris Ivory almost took it to the house. Vikings version was a little messier and looked like a broken scramble play.

    Achane, Mostert, Waddle, and Hill are fast fast guys.  I expect it to be a tough battle, and they'll win some plays.

     

    On the other hand, 3 of the 4 of them were there last season when we played the Dolphins. 

     

    What offenses have the Dolphins played so far?  The Chargers managed 433 yds and 34 points, came down to giving up 10 points in the 4Q.

    The Patriots haven't looked like an offensive juggernaut so far and 0-3 Denver just looks like a mess.

    It's not like they've been shutting down the Eagles, the 49ers, and Kansas City.

    They don't have Week 2

     

    Counterpoint: Week 1 (on my work computer so copy pasting images is kind of a chore)

     

    Also look at his overall pass chart for 2022, he's deadly over the middle, throwing to the right side (because he's a southpaw) but his shorter passes to the sidelines are where he struggles (relatively).

    Yeah their motions are fast and tight.  I seen some plays that were runs and the ball fooled me watching from a good side view camera angle.  I had to watch twice lol. I can't imagine being a defender and trying to see that from a pile of people view.

     

    Elam is in the dog house but he is a good defender for this because he has speed and he is pretty sticky. Thats his skill set.  I doubt he is active though.  Next best thing is maintaining tight zone coverage.  Not Edmunds zone coverage where he stands in a spot staring at the QB while the receiver just moves past him from behind and Edmunds doesnt move until after the receiver catches the ball.  It needs to be tight.  Tackling is going to be key. They have to keep in front of them and tackle at the point of catch.  Miami thrives off 10-15 yard plays over the middle with YAC after that.  Middle of the line needs to get good push.  Make Tua move.  Anything that disrupts the timing where he has to hold the ball.  Thats where his mistakes come.  They are not good at off script stuff.

     

    Watch the pass spread charts for Tua, he LOVES the middle of the field and crossing routes and hates throwing to the sidelines because he doesn't have the arm strength.

     

    Bills have to clog the middle and the sideline from the hash where the ball is snapped from. Force Tua to throw to the sidelines past the sticks. His arm doesn't have the velocity to get it there quickly enough and those routes can be jumped by a well positioned LB or safety.

    Dolphins have played the Chargers, Pats, and Broncos....not exactly three juggernaut defenses.

     

    Lets see how they look against the Bills Defense before everybody crowns the Dolphins as a great team.

     

    The Pats play very sound defensive football, for the level of talent that defense has it's punching well above its weight. Like McD, BB is VERY good at maximizing the talent he has on D. If they had 1-2 playmakers/game wreckers on that D it would be scary good.

     

    Their problem is they can't generate offense to save their life. If their offense was moderately competent they would have handed the Fins an L.

    Well we're past the point of rooting to be ranked in top 5 offensive statistics. We've been there since 2020. Now we want a Super Bowl. And when you look at offenses that have made it to and won the Super Bowl in recent years, it's fair to wonder if our personnel and/or coaching on that side of the ball are at that level. If all of the consternation sounds like nitpicking, maybe it is, but that's the level of detail needed to win a championship.

     


    Eh, how many years did NE look messy in some games, dominant in others or just looked like a good but not great team that just made a play when it mattered?

     

    I think the Bills are plenty good, good enough to win a championship for sure. They just need to be able to make a play when it really matters. 

  14. I'm just going to point out that I can't believe we're experiencing an era of Bills football that I'm alive for where the major topic of conversation on the board is that our offense looks 'clunky' or 'disjointed' despite literally being one of the top 5 scoring offenses the last few years.

     

    Most NFL teams would KILL for our offensive production and all we can do is moan that it doesn't look pretty enough 🤣

    But wouldn't smart football been conservative football and taking the 2 yards instead of the Ints against the Jets?  He is said smart not conservative. Isn't aggressive the opposite of conservative and Josh was aggressive.

     

    It's coach speak. Smart football is conservative football when the situation calls for it. No coach wants to go on record saying they want their offense to play conservatively, that's almost an insult to your players.

  16. Remember that season when the Chiefs started 3-4, Mahomes was throwing all sorts of picks all over the place and their offense was getting stymied by the 2 deep shell and their offense looked limp and lifeless?

     

    Remember how they sorted that out? I remember.

     

    I'm gonna chill and let the season develop, there's 16 more games and I've watched enough football that what September shows you is rarely the truth.

  17. I'm excited and optimistic, but it feels more quiet and determined. I know this team can be great.

     

    The last two years was a lot of chest puffing because everyone ***** on the Allen pick, crapped on us trading for Diggs and it's been nothing but absolutely right. I was insanely hyped last season when we traded for Miller and it looked like we were just gonna steamroll the league weeks 1-2. Then the injuries happened.

     

    I'd rather this team starts slow and peaks at the right time than comes out guns blazing and runs out of gas by the middle of the season.
