Continuing with my weekly thread of posting old Bills games against upcoming opponents where we are playing them the coming week. I am going with the Jaguars at Bills from 1998. Obviously, this upcoming game is in London and not in Buffalo but it is a "home" game for the Bills so, this is the one the one to go with. This may be the best Jags vs Bills games in the existence of games vs these 2 teams as we have had some nightmare games against the Jaguars for whatever reason. This Bills game into this game at 2-3 on a 2 game win streak after an 0-3 start. The Jags came in at 5-0 and were hot to start the season. This was Doug Flutie's first ever start as a Bill taking over for Rob Johnson who got hurt the week before and we all remember how this one ends...a Flutie bootleg TD run on 4th and goal from the 1 yard line. A great game sealing moment in Bills history. If you have any memories or you were there to experience that last TD in person, feel free to post. But here it is. Sit back and enjoy and as always......Go Bills!!!
Is it just me or does this video actually end right before the final drive starts? WTH?

I'd rather he not play. If I'm Jacksonville and I see Miller come into the game, I'm attacking him right away. He's not in game shape and would more likely be a liability out there, even for a few snaps.

Sure, it would be awesome if Kincaid were ripping it up this early in the season and his career. The way I see it, our coaches are taking the long view.
Just like OCs design strategies and run plays early in a game in order to set things up for later in the game, they also design strategies to develop players (and schemes) over the entire season. We have a complex, complicated offense that takes players a while to integrate. For rookies, even more so. Seems to me that Dorsey is introducing new concepts into the offense with two TEs, giving Kincaid bits and pieces to start with and building his confidence slowly over several games. Even now, Kincaid has occasional struggles with what he is assigned, so it’s a slow process.
I sense the goal is to reach the second half/last quarter of the season with Kincaid gradually doing more and more and really opening things up for the offense in ways that other teams will not have seen and won’t have on film.
And next year…

I haven't been to a ton of games over the years, but I am proud to say that I was there for both of Knox's Angry Runs. Holy crap did both of them juice the crowd.

Sounds like multiple weeks, nothing specific I have heard yet. Agree, those are big losses for them.
There but for the grace of God....

I agree with others, that was a great and entertaining write up!

I'm not overly confident in him just yet. He seemed late on a few plays yesterday, and there were times pre-snap when I was watching Hyde trying to communicate with him because of what appeared to be confusion.
Let's see after a few games if teams pick up on his weaknesses on film and start attacking them specifically.

I was at the game yesterday, and my voice is barely functional today. I don't recall screaming and yelling more at any game in my life. A couple times I was yelling so hard I started getting dizzy. It was LOUD.
There were Dolphins fans there, but nothing like you'd see with some other teams like the Steelers. I don't recall hearing them much at all during the game, even in the first quarter.
In the 4th quarter, up 28, I wanted to keep yelling to stick it to them but could barely do it from being so tired out. Fun stuff.

Game-time weather looking to be perfect. 73 degrees and sunny at kickoff with negligible winds.

FYI, and FWIW, Cook is currently #3 in the NFL for rushing yards.

I'm a little surprised more people aren't mentioning our relatively mediocre run defense. Good at times, gives up big chunk plays others. Washington gave up on it too early, because they were doing pretty decent with it against us.
If Miami and their resurgent ground game finds that kind of success against us early (and I'm concerned they will), we'll be in trouble.

Josh Allen with NO play-action:
61.7%, 99 TD, 51 INT, 86.9 QB rating. 6.7 YPA.
Josh Allen w/ play action:
68.6%, 53 TD, 13 INT, 117.5 QB rating. 9.1 YPA.
Not to nit-pick, but you can do play-action from the shotgun. So I don't think this represents under center vs. not under center.

Don't think the article said the eagles were the only ones running it or good at it
Sirianni said it's not as automatic as you think and there's teams around the league that don't do well
They do it well because they have talent up front
I was just responding to the last sentence in the article: "The reality is that, if the Eagles continue to be the only team that has perfected the play, it eventually will be pushed right out of the rulebook."
I mean, I don't know if I'd say either team has "perfected" the play, but certainly the Eagles aren't the only team that's consistently good at it.

IIRC I think when we first started doing it we ran a guy in motion and snapped the ball on time when he got behind Josh to push.We still do that to some extent, with Gabe often being the one in motion and then providing the push. Sometimes others as well.

We totally use this play, and it works well. Probably because Josh is big and strong and good at it, but the push with Josh running is like a cheat code.
Not sure why they think the Eagles are the only ones using it or good at it...

Looking at WTF Snap counts, seems like they play a lot of dime. 3 CB's and 3 Safeties are in their top 11 defensive snap counts.
Wonder how Dorsey will attack that. Seems they want to pressure the passer and blanket the receivers. Big question is can we run against that front?
I would expect to see a lot of action in the short passing game, too, especially to the backs and TEs. Neutralize the rush, attack the short middle of the field. Run it when the line starts looking for the quick pass.Weather right now looking like rain but not a lot of wind.

Wow... all these decades and I had never run across that convention. Gonna look into it a bit deeper.
Yep, that's the convention. The other convention is that the away team is supposed to be listed first, home team second (or away team on top, home team on bottom).
So if you see a score listed, Bills would be on the left, Commanders on the right—or, alternatively, Bills on top and Commanders on bottom (😲).
When a team's media group or the hometown paper is talking about a particular game, then they would usually refer to the Bills first, so then it would follow the @/vs. convention: either be Bills vs. Other Team (home game) or Bills at Other Team (away game).

It was very much like that. I regret nothing. And the socks are bone dry😂😂😂
I did that a couple years ago when Josh Allen got COVID. Just not THAT Josh Allen.
Strangely, the humor was not appreciated then, either.

If Josh delivered a couple Super Bowl victories for us, I'd give him whatever the ***** he wanted.

Anyone catch that the Flutie TD happened with 0:13 seconds left?
Kickoff down to the 5, stopped at the 30, 6 seconds left, game over.
