    but the offense seemed out of rhythm all night

    We only had 55 plays on offense.

    Heavy rain affected the passing games of both teams - in the 2nd half, the Chiefs used the opportunity to crowd the LOS and create pressures.  Whereas the Bills tended to play cover 2 the entire night.

    We averaged 21 yards per pass completion and 13 yards per attempt - which is unreal considering the weather.

    Running game was good, if you include Allen's attempts.

    Josh Allen had one of his better games all things considered.

    Clean hits don't result in broken ribs.

    Avoid the neck and helmet area. CHECK.

    Avoid anything below the thighs. CHECK.

    Don't land on the QB and break your fall so the QB doesn't get hurt. CHECK.

     

    The rib area is still allowed and actually encouraged as an area where you should deliver such a blow.  Sometimes clean hard hits result in injuries.  In fact, sometimes you see non-contact injuries.  These are all just part of the game.

    How do we win by 2 touchdowns when we didn’t even score 2 touchdowns?

    Hypothetical math does add up.

    We lost by 7

    No blocked punt?  7 point swing, depending on what the Steelers would have done with their drive.

    INT called back, Steelers got 3 points that drive, and the INT was returned into FG range at least.  6 or 10 point swing.

    DPI - 7 point swing.  It would have been 4th down.

    We kicked a FG on first down while driving at the end of the game.

     

     

     

  4. Without a blocked punt returned for a touchdown, an interception overturned on a questionable call, and a DPI on 3rd and long we are singing the Bills praises non-stop today.  Without those and one or two dumbo decisions, we win by two touchdowns.  It's not the way we wanted the Bills to start, but they did show improvement on defense.  The Bills need to find a way to gain chunks of yards against the light boxes and they'll win these sorts of games easily.  Also, is it possible to go back to a 2-step punt?  By the time he takes all those steps to punt the ball, he is nearly at the line of scrimmage.

    Cutting or trading him means we pay $8M for a player that isn't on our roster.

    Yes, doesn't look like there is any savings at all if released, as his salary is guaranteed.  So no real possibility of that.  After the 2M pay cut he took earlier this year, the savings would be 4M if traded.  The new team typically would pay his 2021 salary, unless the Bills opt to pay some of it as part of the trade package.

  6. This saves about $6M if released or traded.  He may not even be active on game day.  A trade or cut is not out of the question, given we have depth at the position, the young guys that are playing well, and we have another veteran presence.  That being said, they kept Murphy last year under similar circumstances.

    even today people say that it was Stefon Diggs that made Josh last year

    Cool post.

    In 2018 Josh Allen was making the playoffs throwing to Zay Jones and Kelvin Benjamin.  Meanwhile, Kirk Cousins was throwing to Diggs AND Thielen.  Diggs is great, but I didn't see him "make" Cousins into an MVP candidate.  In reality, most teams have name-brand WRs.  So sure, let's keep surrounding Josh with name-brand WRs and let them "make" Josh into a perennial league and SuperBowl MVP.
