    Dallas @ Buffalo Postgame Thread

    Last week when we won I felt relieved that we got the win in a tight game and lived to fight another day.  This one is different - such a dominant performance against a top tier opponent has me thinking about more than just surviving our way into the playoffs.  If we can keep this up we will be a force to be reckoned with - and it really does feel like all the pieces are coming together at the right time.  I understand we have to play one game at a time but I'm certainly feeling way more optimistic now.  Go Bills!

    Cowboys fans having a raging debate about Josh Allen, some saying he's the best QB they'll see in the regular season and the Boys better be ready, and others saying he's in the top 10 but a turnover machine so they're not worried at all.  Most though, acknowledge that the Bills are dangerous right now, with their backs to the wall - and that the Cowboys have not played their best football on the road.

    8th late-game defensive meltdown this season

    Injuries notwithstanding, we DOMINATED TOP yesterday:

     

    40:30 (Bills) 26:53 (Eagles

     

    Yet I had seen this movie before. The defense stopped making stops in the fourth quarter. Give them credit for holding the line, and tip my hat to Elliott for making an all-time kick.

     

    But this kind of performance predates McDermott, it was a drought special. We've all seen it a million times. Defense plays above expectations for 3/4 of the game giving us a chance. They get trampled at the end anyway as the other side simply pulls away. Patriots with Brady were particularly cruel with this kind of letdown.

     

    The difference is we clearly have a franchise quarterback. Like, Romo doesn't even try to hide his giant ***** man crush for Allen anymore. Two weeks ago he casually dropped "one of the all-time greats" referring to Allen, a player who is 27!!! You can hear Romo coaching Allen during the broadcasts because he knows #17 was sent to us on a rocket ship and the last son of Krypton is being wasted. He knows Allen is capable of being the most dominant player in the league.

     

    Sincerely, thank you Sean McDermott for getting us to another tier. Hopefully we find the right OFFENSIVE coach to maximize our HOF QB's career.

    I agree that our D looked great against Philly til about the middle of the 3rd quarter, and things started going downhill.  To your point we've seen the defense get soft at the end of games too many times before, leading to losses.  I just wonder what the cause of that is - is it a conditioning issue (tiring out), or is it that the opposing team figures out what we're doing and adjusts?  If it is the latter then what is apparent is that we don't counter adjust and then we get reamed.   

     

    I'm mostly curious about your last sentence.  If the defense is the problem - why do we need an offensive minded coach?   We go through this a lot on this board : "it's the offense" or "it's the defense".  Last year there was talk that we should just focus completely on making the offense so strong it couldn't be stopped.  Now we're wanting the defense to be better.  It takes a balance of both and we'll never be a great team with just a great D or great O if the other side is lacking.

    Week 12: Buffalo Bills vs Philadelphia Eagles

    Bills need to consult w some rugby guys about that Eagles play to get one yard or so.  the Eagles play is very Rugby like, and there must be ways to stop it.  I notice the eagles linemen have their pads almost on the ground.  I wonder if they are crossing legs after the snap like the Rugby guys do.  (linemen are called hookers btw because of that)  Anyhow, I am surprised nobody in the NFL has figured out how to stop that Eagles play so far.

    I don't know the Eagles overall statistics on that push play but they've been successful every time I've seen it.  Bottom line is it does make it tougher on defenses, because any down (including 4th) with a yard to go gets converted to a 1st.  So really all they need is 9 yards in 3 downs and they're good to go.  Like you I've been hoping someone could figure out a way to stop it - at least some of the time.  I suspect they may ban it in the off-season, but we'll be dealing with it next Sunday.

    That was a heck of timed punch out!    Yeah I was angry with Kincaid there.   Have to have big picture awareness and have both arms over that ball.  5 extra yards there isn’t enough to risk injury and possession!

     

    Tough way to be reminded of both.  

    It was a lucky break for Cinci, to be there with the punch at just the right time.  But when you're flying through the air instinct says one arm is going to move out to save yourself a little on the landing.  I haven't watched the replay but I think that was what happened.  All in all I'm still happy that Kincaid looks like a bright spot for our future.

    In this thread it was suggested by a few that maybe we should try letting Josh run the offense.  Kelly did it pretty well, but my question is could Josh?   Is Josh capable of rapidly detecting and understanding what the defense is doing and figuring out plays to call that would be successful?  He'd probably need input from offensive coordinators who get a better view of the whole field, but I think it might be worth experimenting with at this point (doesn't seem it could hurt).   What if you just let him start the game doing it and commit to letting him have at least a half?

    Seeing all the videos of Bills fans there,  I don't see how the crowd won't make a difference.

    It won't.  No matter how many videos you see Bills fans won't be in the majority and won't create anywhere near enough crowd noise to impact the game.  It's great to see Bills fans turning out - but making a difference in the game?  - that's a stretch.

    I'm still concerned about the time difference.  Game at 9:30 eastern, so relative to their "normal" eastern time they are accustomed to they probably need to be up by sometime around 4 or 4:30 am.  Way different than a normal game day in Buffalo.  They may be pretty used to trips out west where they are playing at 4 pm eastern time, but needing to get up really early relative to your normal time is a LOT harder than playing out west where you don't deal with any of that.  Hoping for the best, but worried.

    Bills open -4.5 vs Jags. (Now -5.5)

    While I know the Bills are the stronger team, the Jags get the advantage of playing today in England and staying there until they play us next weekend.  Not having to deal with the jet lag and disruption of the long flight over there is bound to be an advantage for them.   I don't care for this schedule, it tilts things in favor of the Jags by giving them two consecutive weeks there.
