Josh used to play hero ball at MetLife, the Jets would always bait him into throwing into the teeth of their downfield coverage. Glad he avoided that trap on Sunday and just took what was there.

I just can’t believe that Glenn didn’t sign off on making Fields the “guy” this offseason and pay him way more than he should have gotten in the open market.
Im sure he did. I just expected a far more interesting offense accentuating his strengths than what they’re putting out there. And whatever they’re doing is so basic that the Bills knew exactly when to send corner blitzes, something you only do when you have a strong belief you know the play call based on the formation. -
Cousins wouldn’t last five minutes behind that line. He’s completely immobile at this point.

Glenn coached scared yesterday. Maybe he will get better but that was a poor coaching job on Sunday. The Bills coasted in a place that is has been hard to win in.
I’m not sure that’s accurate or fair. They perhaps understandably want to see whether Fields is capable of running a normal NFL offense. Yesterday would suggest he isn’t. He was missing open receivers and bailing from muddy but playable pockets. Fields wasn’t giving them a chance yesterday. It doesn’t help that they have an even worse receiver situation than we do - they literally have only one good skill player on offense. Now they’ll have to pivot to a super creative option-based offense that features Fields’ running abilities if they want to stay competitive offensively. On defense, if you play man coverage that often you’d better be clean with your technique and yesterday they were either too grabby or ran into the wrong officiating crew. Either way I don’t think Glenn coached scared.

I think he has done a good job. I think the lack of explosives in the pass game is about receiver separation (or lack thereof) deep. Last night the offensive line really struggled pass protecting early too and so they went run heavy in large part to back the Jets rush off IMO and it worked. Now are there still plays where I think they get too conservative from time to time? Yep. But overall I think he is doing a really good job.
The one thing they HAVE to fix between him and Josh is the alerts. We are alerting into run plays that go nowhere way too often. Sometimes we seem to be alerting and then running against looks that do not look conducive to success. I think it is just a bit about him and Josh going back and looking at what the principles of our process are for when we alert and what we get into.
That is my one gripe so far. On and too much Ray Davis. Who is kinda meh.
We scored 30 and basically stopped trying for the last 3 drives.
Not sure what Davis’s problem is - he never had great vision but he did have some burst last year and it seems to be gone. He is running in quicksand out there. Might be time to sub Gore in for a game or two and see if there’s more juice there. -
Browning is legit.

And Mitch. That throw was an absolute dime over Sauce. To come in cold and make that pass - wow.-

Cook is the best running back we’ve had in 25 years. What an absolute treat to watch him work.
McCoy, FredEx, Marshawn????-

It’s just that athletes aren’t supposed to put other high performing athletes on blast. Last year Steve Smith said Keon Coleman “wasn’t the guy,” okay that was fair… at the time. But to have Allen tearing up the league, a day after he did something no other QB in the league has done in the 4th and to have Draymond criticizing his overall body of work, I think that’s somewhat noteworthy. What’s his agenda? Is it to rage bait or become a villain amongst Bills fans? If so, why? Did the Bills beat his favorite team or something?
He has always struck me as probably mentally ill. Steve Smith too for that matter - that’s a guy who attacked his own teammate with a folding chair during positional meetings.-

This would be a great week for Bosa to step up, if he’s healthy and comfortable as it appears. Early season is when I expect him to shine.

Good for a movie script. But I doubt Harbaugh wants to change his profession to a screenwriter, even as a reality TV show screenwriter, anytime soon.
It would be like calling a fake punt Damar Hamlin running play in the playoffs…-

For sure. But every season is a referendum on the approach every team has taken. That's the sport. You build your roster in March and April. You find out whether it worked between September and February.
Yeah if the defense is mostly healthy later in the season but still completely ineffectual then you've got a referendum situation. I cannot get too fired up about Week 1.

I actually disagree very strongly. The more I watch the all22 the more convinced I am that the linebackers and the safetys were the primary reason for the defensive failure.
I caught Joe Marino's bit on WGR he said that same.
I don't think it was primarily coaching (though I do think Babich is continually trying to "do too much" in these games.... some bear front, some base defense, too many blitzes which Lamar killed) it was primarily a more basic inability to gst basic run fits right. Bernard was dreadful, Rapp was worse. Milano was almost as bad. Williams was all over the place and Bishop still looks tentative and late on most plays.
It isn't so much about tackling Henry in space. I agree that is darn hard. It is about basic gap discipline and run fits. And the linebackers and safeties sucked at it on Sunday.
I don't know what he has been coached but he should not have followed through with that blitz. No way. That is just bad football. Players have to be accountable.
In Babich’s presser he was clearly not thrilled with how Bernard played, and said he was thinking too much instead of flowing downhill. FWIW.-

No, I agree with you. It was the extension I liked the least in the offseason. I'd have had him play out his final year. He was really poor on Sunday.
They didn’t just extend him they made him co-captain with Josh. They are all in on the guy.-

Jones put up a lot of bad tape on Sunday night - hopefully he's not washed.

Agree with these but Henry WAS careless. He should've been cradling the ball with two hands at that point in the game. He was still looking to stiff-arm. Bad situational football.

They've probably been scripting and practicing those first couple series for the last 2-3 weeks.
I'm more curious how he handles it when things get real.
Update: you were spot on and he did not handle it well when it got real.
Both QBs flashed at times but have long ways to go. The NFC North is a really interesting division this year.

Meanwhile McCarthy looks deer-in-headlights and is still only able to throw heaters.

Did anyone else think that the throw to Hawes was the Jake Kumerow Pass?

Welp, Dunne is looking about as accurate about Williams as he was about McDermott and Aaron Rodgers.
Agreed. Caleb looks good.
Any thoughts on Dorian Williams about to be starting again?

McDaniel shows linebackers all kinds of eye candy to suck them in or delay their drops, then Tua drops it in over their heads as they react late. Williams has been known to take the bait so hopefully his eye discipline has improved….
