I think field position is monumental with our offense. So I’m on the fence. I know Hyde had a lot of success returning punts in GB and we are fairly deep at safety but the drop off from him to Bush isn’t good.
If Antonio Brown and Odell Beckham can return punts for their teams, then we can afford to have Hyde do it. I don’t think it’s particularly dangerous.

I did not know he was so well-spoken.?

They still owe us for taking KB off their hands. Maybe this is part of the payback.

The problem is not the new rules; the problem is the refs blowing calls. The Matthews sack, like the 3d White unnecessary roughness penalty, were just flat-out awful calls. Both hits were entirely legal under the current rules.

I’m amazed at the snark generated by the OP. Of course it’s not likely Foster develops into a WR1, but to my eyes, he does some things other receivers on this team can’t do. He beat his man badly on two deep balls on Sunday. On the first one, Allen underthrew him by about 15 yards. The second one was perfectly thrown and dropped. Just the threat of the deep ball is worth a lot to an offense. And guess what folks: players can get better with time and experience. Goodwin is just one example and there is every reason to think Foster could too.

Why not an onside kick there?? Did it even occur to them?
-
90-yard penalty and we don’t even get to see a replay. I’d wager it was bogus...

James Washington would be our best receiver.
Serious question: Would any of our receivers make the Steelers’ 53-man roster? I can’t think of any.

You mean traded up for Zay

Awesome FG there. Now when the Stillers score again, they’ll only be down by 24.

Anyone else think Dirk Koetter is a bottom five NFL coach?

Why would a team not attempt an onside kick EVERY TIME they are kicking off from midfield?

The Kelvin Benjamin TD against the Pats last year went to review. They reversed it, getting it wrong. No, I think it will always be a part of the game.
Just because replay sometimes gets it wrong isn’t a reason not to use it. It usually works, except when the Patriots are involved.

I think you misread. That is why I said the Bills defense chewed up the Viking offense, cause they did.
True, but you used the Vikes’ meaningless yardage total to suggest that the Bills offense didn’t play all that well.

I notice the positioning of the DTs and DEs in the pass rush. Lots of confidence in the LBs.
Agree that Minny was figured out by our coaching staff, so kudos to McD and crew. My point was that they can't let off big leads on every team they play. IF they did this vs NE, Brady would take advantage of the weak play calling and that may not have been a win. I hope the coaches consider this in the upcoming weeks.
I said the same thing last year, after they turtled to protect leads against the Jets and Broncos. And yet the strategy never came back to bite them, and of course it worked yesterday.

When you have a rookie QB, the opposing team does not know what to expect in his first few games. A few more games into the season and opposing defensive coordinators are going to begin to have more extensive game film to study. That will enable them to game plan more specifically to counter his skill set. I'm thrilled with what Josh Allen is doing and I am very optimistic for the future, but as we move deeper into the season, that chess game thing is going to happen with respect to game planning.
Ahhh....The inevitable “cold bucket of water” post. Love it. Please tell us why it’s important to “be aware” of this, “moving forward”. More importantly, why does it make Bills fans happy to post this stuff?
12 minutes ago, mattynh said:You want some critical analysis, consider that the Bills and Vikings gained the same amount of yards in the game, 292. Which unit really chewed up and spit out the other? Its the Bills defense that chewed up and spit out the Vikings offense, that was the key to the game.
You’re not serious, are you? Did you watch the game, or just look at the box score on ESPN.com? Almost every one of the Vikings yards came in garbage time, after the Bills had accumulated a 27-point lead and were literally giving Cousins short passes to the middle of the field. And for the same reason, the Bills’ offense went one-dimensional the entire second half.

But of course “the Bills are almost certainly still one of the worst teams in the NFL”. ?

Cousins played today like he did early in his Redskins tenure; completed a lot of throws but made some really serious mistakes.
Yep. Perfect example of the misleading nature of football statistics. Cousins threw for 100 yards more than Josh Allen but was badly outplayed. Almost every yard he threw for was garbage time.

I mean, the Vikes game was more about how poor the Vikings played as anything. It's a fluke win for the Bills until they prove otherwise.
It wasn’t a fluke win, but it proves how quickly things can go south for even a very good team when they have O-line problems.

I’m a little surprised too. But the betting public loves the Pack, it’s two tough road games in a row, and you can normally expect a let down after a huge win like this. In this case, though, I don’t foresee a let down; I think this was a win that builds the confidence of a team many had completely written off, and its rookie QB.

No way on Mack , we need those picks to rebuild and McD has got the defense rolling again.
Agree 100 percent, especially if Hughes would have been part of the trade. If anything happens to JA, we’ll be right back in the discussion for first overall pick.

^^This^^^ No one should be looking past GB, who got handled by the Redskins today
Unless the folks posting here are secretly members of the Bills 53-man roster or coaching staff, we can “look past GB” all we want and it won’t make a damn bit of difference.

Cut em all..
Allen is the one man band.
Foster has a knack of getting open and has some speed. Something this team needs.
He gets open, which is something. On an earlier play, Foster was three steps past the nearest defender and Allen underthrew him by 15 yards. It should have been picked.

What's not true about what I said?
I disagree with your premise that phantom, garbage calls like this are an inevitable part of the game. They can be largely gotten rid of by expanding instant replay.

Who said the Jets have a “franchise QB”? Darnold looks more like a bust, to me.
