Hard to see a game write up without a mention of Milano and Poyer.
Exactly. I would have given game balls to these two. Milano was a tackling monster, showing some great balance in maneuvering to make his tackles. Both of Poyer's INTs were really athletic. The first was backwards and over his head, the second one was just pure power and coordination.

I was at that game, sat in the Dog Pound during the drive. Looking back it's a good thing Harmon dropped the pass, I might have been killed.

I'll be streaming the game at home in the heart of Bangkok, Thailand. Tailgate 4am, game 6:30am.
I'll be making a homemade Garbage Plate!
Go Bills!

Third and maybe most important of all.
#3 - Josh performs similar action - even if he hands the ball off.
The first two are important and his fake is really good, but the key is that he runs play action moves even when he hands it off on those types of plays.
It is critical because some QBs only carry out that motion when they have the ball and it signals to key defenders - Safeties and CBs and cover LBs exactly what is coming one step earlier.
Josh carries through the action sell bootleg even when handing off and it adds that extra piece to be even more successful.
Good point!

Great observations OP; I’d also just like to add that I’ve always been impressed with the sheer length of time Allen is able to keep the fake in place at the RB’s bread basket level, while Allen is reading his keys/selling the fake—it forces the D to commit one way or the other, and gives Allen another split second lead time in letting the pass routes develop. It’s another small but vital detail imho. As a former wannabe QB in an earlier life, I can attest firsthand on the coaching points of emphasis involved with play action, and actually giving it sufficient time in the RB’s (almost) grasp is easier said than done, but Allen has excelled at it.
and not only did he give it sufficiant time in one (almost) RB's grasp, but on the Tommy Doyle touchdown play he sold it with both backs.

Setting aside the fact that the play action worked last week because of the great play calling mix and successful run game, I saw two things when Allen ran play action that really set it apart. Watch the TD play to Tommy Doyle and you'll see both of these:
1) Unlike many QBs running the play action, Allen did not hold the ball out to the RBs with both hands. He held it out with his left hand only, keeping his right hand free. When he began to curl around to his right after faking the handoff the ball was completely blocked by his body, and his empty throwing hand sent a signal to the D that the ball had been handed off.
2) Allen took the ball very deep (a 9 yard drop at the apex of his curl-around) and very fast into the backfield, leaving him a ton of time before any Defensive spies would have a chance to reach and pressure him. This left all options open to him -- passing if his target was open, looking for a secondary target, running himself or throwing the ball away. On the Doyle TD, the nearest defenders were 6 yards away from him when he threw the ball.
If the Bills can sell the run this weekend, I believe Allen's technique on the play action will open up some big plays for the Bills. Thoughts?

it just looks like a completely different set of plays than we've been running all year. And I don't understand why. I know the OL has been juggled today but that wouldn't require a completely new game plan.

Quite.
Throw it down the ***** field.
Not sure the OL is capable of giving Josh enough time to throw down field.

Only at the idiot sitting in front of me.

Yes, but having to start at 1st & 25 was a hole they put themselves in.
Yeah, it definitely was a hole, and a frustrating sequence to watch. But they got out of the hole, which in retrospect could have been a killer sequence for Cleveland had we called a rational third-and-short play. I'm just saying that there's a difference from a hole and a momentum killer. Any momentum lost because of the two penalties was immediatly regained as a result of the next two plays (evident from how quiet the stadium became). But we never got momentum back after the 3rd down play and resulting punt. At least we didn't in my living room ?

Not capitalizing on the Safety.
A false start and a holding penalty put as at 1st & 25. That killed momentum.
I disagree, it wasn't 1st and 25 that killed momentum. In fact the next two pass plays were great, leaving us with 3rd and 4 and putting Cleveland on their heals. What killed momentum was the play call on 3rd down, having Allen throw a bomb which wasn't within 10 yards of his receiver. What we needed at that time was a sustained drive from a 5-yard play. The bomb killed our momentum. I'll never understand that call, especially when Allen is so poor with his accuracy when throwing long.

Living in Bangkok, I watch the games at midnight, but I miss our old tailgates. For kicks I googled Buffalo Bills Tailgate Live. The first link that came up was my own Ustream page, it must be 11 years ago. Of course there is no stream there now, but the placeholder image is still there: http://www.ustream.tv/channel/buffalo-bills-tailgate-live
At another tailgate I wore a DSLR on my head taking a 30-second-apart timelapse images ? These were the days before GoPros.
Is anyone streaming their tailgate? I'd love to join.

Gamepass on my computer defaults to home "Bears" audio, there is no option to change it. When I go to "listen" it allows me to change to visitor, but there is no video feed with it. so I used both.
The little tool icon at the bottom of the player in the computer browser, change the audio there.

How?!?!
On my TV, I click on the game and at the top right I get a little icon that I can click on to select the audio feed.

I have visitor audio on.
just curious why you need to use both the TV and laptop to do that. I don't.

Yeah I had to use my laptop for Bills audio and my tv for the video feed.
You said you're watching on Gamepass? You realize you can change the audio on Gamepass to home or visitor radio.

Watching via GamePass tonight, which means I have to endure the Bears local telecast. They are really, really bad. I was expecting more from a market that size.
In Gamecast, change over to Bills radio broadcast. May be a half second off of the play but still better than Bears local coverage.

Just to chime in - I made Buffalo wings tonight here in Bangkok, Thailand for our pregame tailgate. Deep fried in a wok at about 370F for about 13 minutes. Tossed in traditional sauce (Franks, butter, worcestershire, garlic, cayenne, salt), then onto the grill for a couple minutes per side to bake in the sauce and dry them up a bit. Extra sauce served on the side.
Go Bills!

Wondered if this was a photoshop job, but just checked on my Game Pass subscription. Sure enough, 10 men.
-
Yahoo app on Apple TV - Perfect stream and quality from start to finish. And then it was also perfect from the 2nd quarter to the end of the game.
Watched in Bangkok, Thailand -- guessing I didn't have too much competition here for the stream bandwidth.

Setting aside any discussion on whether or not the horn was played at the wrong time, I join with those who can't stand it. It's played on almost every single defensive play. I'm only hearing it over the air (I live outside the country) so I can't imagine how annoying it must be to season ticket holders.
Many years ago (when I was a season ticket holder), the Bills used a video of a buffalo stampede to rile up the crowd (it changed to buffalo stampeding through snow in colder months), but they only did this on 3rd down, and certainly not every 3rd down. That had cachet to it, I think.

First Bills tailgate as an adult, my friend and I got there about 7:30am and literally were the only people at the stadium -- we had no idea where to park. After setting up we discovered we had no matches for the grill. The first car that came, 45 minutes later, parked nearby. It was Hank Bullough. He lit our grill for us. And then 5 minutes later security came and kicked us out of the Players and Coaches lot.

Sunny Side is Visitors Side. Not very fun sitting around all visitor fans.
It's the Visitors Side because the visitors' bench is on that side, not because the crowd there is a crowd of visitors. This isn't High School. I sat on the Visitors Side for 23 years, and if I ever didn't have fun it was because of the quality of play on the field, not the quality of Bills fans on the Sunny Side.
Bills may not play another regular season game on Sunday this year
in The Stadium Wall

This year's schedule is great for those of us who live 12 time zones away 🙂
