9 sacks, 4 interceptions, a forced fumble and general havoc in the backfield all game......I'm in. Go McD!

Kincaid and Knox have been pretty consistent. I honestly believe the offense is so much different than last year, they are still figuring things out. 12 personnel is pretty foreign considering they only did it 3% of the time last year. Running the ball with RBs instead of relying on a read option and Josh possibly running is new. Josh is actually taking the snap and handing off in one smooth motion instead of scanning the D and trying to decide whether to hand off or keep it himself while the defense closes in. You can't really tell how good the running game is going to be until you actually start doing it against different defenses. It's early in the season. The offense is learning some new tricks. It will be interesting to see what new wrinkles they add throughout the season, but it is still early. Not everything will go as planned against a great defense, so the only thing you can really do is learn from mistakes and keep pushing the bar higher. If the players were so doubtful, they've all ready lost.

I honestly think the play calling will improve as the season goes on. Just getting to a point where Josh isn't under duress for 4 qtrs is a major improvement. I was very impressed with how much time he was getting. Washington certainly still got some pressures but our OL held up pretty well. As far as play calling goes, it just seems like they are testing the waters on offense. Trying to figure out what plays and players they can consistently depend on. It almost seems like they still haven't opened up the play book. Maybe, I'm off here, but I'm not so certain the play calling is the real problem. I think they are looking for more players to become stars. Am I reading this wrong? Maybe it is brain farts on Dorsey part. I don't really buy that though.

This is the key. And a lot of it is scheme, which means some guys are blocking while others are running routes. I'd be curious how often TEs, RBs anyone not a OLman that is staying in to block. Might explain why certain plays aren't being called.

Th play that ticked me off was 4th down and half a yard to go. Josh lines up in shotgun and his pass is batted down. Why on god's green earth would you not run there. Other than that, I got nothing to complain about.

If our D gives up half that, I'd be pissed.

If our D gets after Tua the way they just did this game.....totally different ball game. 70pts though....sheesh. Is that offense really that good or is that D really that bad.

Did he say 9th sack?

Nice clock eating drive followed by a TD, please. Might actually shut them out.

Yeah, what was I thinking?

Where will the ball be spotted now

I want to see the TEs and RB leaking out. Doesn't always have to be a screen.

What happened to the RB and TE passes?

Need a little presnap motion to get the defense looking the wrong way. This team falls for it all the time. Come on Dorsey.

I'm not discounting anything. I'm looking at the track record of both teams. Washington is clearly not in the same league, but if you want to worry, I'm not going to judge. Also, this is pretty much the same defense they had last year. They have some clear holes that I think will be exploited heavily by Buffalo. Washington has problems at LB in their secondary. They play an additional CB because of that and still can't stop anyone unless the DLine gets home. This team lives and dies by that DLine. Now, granted their QB is looking pretty good. I like him. Spreads the ball around, throws a nice deep ball in the face of a pass rush without flinching. He's going to be pretty good. Still, he doesn't have many starts and the Bills will throw some disguises at him. He is going to have his work cut out for him and I think the Bills defense has the better track record. On both O and D the Bills have them beat. Historically, this is pretty clear. Not that some team can't come out of nowhere to make a run. Seems to happen every year with some team. Not today though. The Bills are just more ready than the Whatevers.

Why? The kid is doing good. Standing in the pocket with pressure coming and making plays. He's got guts and throws a nice ball.

They also gave up a lot of sacks. As for that DLine, it isn't worth much if Josh is getting rid of the ball quick. Blowout....I can smell it. They aren't the only team on the field today that can create turnovers. Also, They need to come from behind to win in their first 2 game. Against AZ and Denver. Neither of those teams is Buffalo. What are you scared of?

The Washington Whatevers😀. They have a great DLine, but nothing special outside of that on D. They can get after the passer, but have been fooled by different formations, misdirection and by simply mixing things up. They are going to have problems with Buffalo's offense. Big problems. Denver put up 33pts against them. I smell another statement game coming. A blowout even. The Whatevers are in for a wake up call. Go Bills!

Depends on how wet the field is. Guys like Cook can break ankles the way he can cut and accelerate on a dry field. On a wet field the bigger backs can just hit there gap and power through. Don't discount passes to the backs either. Going to be a fun game to watch. I think Josh is up to the challenge and he's built some confidence with those quick passes. The Bills will be looking to take away the strength of that Washington defense which is their Dline. I still think Cook gets the lions share of the snaps. He's been pretty good so far. He could do well if he doesn't loose his footing on a wet field. He's earned it.

Your going to lose that bet.

Josh is going to continue to work those short area passes, getting the ball out quick and really frustrating the Washington defense. The difference between Wash and NYJ is they don't have as talented defensive backs. Feeling pretty confident that Josh is going to carve them up. I like their QB. He's showing some promise but now he's going up against a really good defense. Bills are going to win this game handily.

36 - 13 Bills Washington has a good defense but can't stop this. Their QB is showing promise but he's not there yet.

It was nice to see the success from the short game, but there was more to it than just short passes. It was to a plethora of different players. RBs, TEs, WRs not named Diggs. This is a major problem for the defense because they don't know who it is going to next. The only options to stop this, is to put more speed on the field or to bring one of those high safeties down closer to the box. Neither is necessarily a good option. Whenever, the offense can force defenses to do things they don't want to do, it is a going to open up other options. For instance, putting more defensive backs in the game, opens up some running options or screen passes. Just imagine a DB taking on a block from a TE on a screen. Bringing up a safety leaves someone 1 on 1 in the deep passing game. When defenses realize that it's pick your poison on how to defend, the offense is doing it's job well. Having so many different weapons for Josh is really going to open up the playbook. The offensive coaches and players must be salivating right now. I'm not predicting a close game at all. The offense is just getting warmed up. I believe the score will be similar to the Raiders game. I see a deep shot or two coming. Don't know when, exactly. Will depend on when a D realizes they can't take away anything short and try to adjust. Maybe it won't be this game. Defenders may want to see if Josh can consistently deliver in the short game. But if last week is any indication, the offense looks like it is just getting started.

Safety coming.

I think having that extra TE on the field will limit what Crosby can do if he's being chipped all game. I also think that running the ball can be successful if the Raiders are too aggressive. That right side of the OL can run block. Hoping to see a more balanced attack. A more spread the ball around attack.
