Why is the D so poor on 3rd and long? Has been the case for what feels like forever.

Or maybe halves.

Shush! Don't jinx ihm.

The only plus from that was Josh protected the ball.

The number of people I saw on the Game Day thread saying "run the ball down their throats" when it was revealed Cooper was inactive. Now...

And that was as much down to Josh having a meltdown in the first half as the Texans defense, as good as they are.

If the Bills lose today they split with the Dolphins, and still sit in a dominant position in the division. I'm not holding out much hope, at this stage, of the one seed. Making players inactive due to small injuries makes sense to me, rather than playing them and risking aggravating them further as they approach the tougher part of the schedule.

Will Levis is more accurate than Josh Allen. I mean...

Fumble Raiders, recovered by Chiefs. Because of course.

They are. But they've been missed on the Seahawks.

Awful play calling in the red zone - not helped by Josh calling audible for a bizarre reason.

Get your head back in it Josh. Bad throws happen.

A penalty on the Seahawks? What witchcraft is this?

That's karma for the amount of non-holding calls on the Hawks.

So you're telling me the Bills are holding all the time and the Seahawks aren't holding at all? Really?

This is the first half defense we know and hate.

Not 2nd and 10?

I feel less confident about this defense the more yardage the opposing offense needs.

No team scores on every drive. The annoying thing is the penalties, which puts the offense behind.

That was one of the most non-sensical play calls ever. What was the point of that?

Winston got so lucky there.

These early games are amazing.

This is the NFL, though. Get out of there with any sort of win and no injuries. Anything else is a bonus.

Yeah, you could be right with that.

When Mahomes has a bad game, more often than not, he still manages to pull a great play out of nowhere. He doesn't get emotional. He doesn't get down on himself. He doesn't get that dear in the headlights look or, if he does, it doesn't linger too long. If he was playing to Josh's standard against Houston in week five, I think he would have found something to at least take it to OT if not win. The Bills defense had the Texans offense under control for majority of the second half. That's where he has an edge on Josh. Pointing out the coaching differences and general strength on defense is fair and accurate. But Mahomes re-calibrates quicker when things are going wrong. If Josh played like Mahomes yesterday, would he have mentally pulled himself together to drive the team down the field and get the required points? I'm not so sure. Josh is better than he was, but he isn't quite up to Mahomes' level yet. And I think that's why Mahomes isn't feeling the heat, along with the 6-0 v 5-2 record.
