We all know Buffalo's offense, and generally most good offenses, have audibles built right into the play call. I hear Allen changing to these alternates very often.
Alert = run the alternate play.
Reset = back to base play.
This works well if you have smart players that can recall two or three assignments and execute them, while remembering the snap count, and when you have a quarterback that can get you into the right play.
Not so secret decoder on other things you hear:
Blue (sky) (80) = Pass, perhaps the pass audible of the play call.
Green (grass) (18) = Run, traditionally RB1 through the 8 hole, outside TE, wide right.
Rex Ryan or Red Robin = Run Right (wild guess).
I have always figured "Omaha" was Manning's "Alert" audible. But I just read that it is a stock play call (which was one of a couple well known plays, that changed depending on the situation, like what quarter or wind direction). I'm not sure I'm buying that as I'm not sure how formations, personnel, and motions would be accounted for. But it does roll off the tongue easier than switching at the LOS to some real play like "Green Right X Shift to Viper Right 382 X Stick Option Lookie".

I would rest White, Edmunds, Milano, Dawkins, Williams, Feliciano, Morse, and our three WRs. I would play Allen sparingly, a few handoffs.
1st seed is out of reach now, so there is no bye week coming our way.
Many scenarios have us re-playing the Dolphins week 1, if we lose to them week 17.
Many scenarios have us playing the Ravens week1, if we beat the Dolphins week 17.
IMO, the Ravens are playing better ball right now.

It was a squib kick that bounced a few times before going into the end zone.

At this moment, the #1 seed is still possible.
Here's the scenario:
* Bills win out
* KC loses two, to the Chargers and also either to the Saints or Falcons.
* Steelers lose exactly one game (CIN, IND, CLE) forcing a three way tie.
In this scenario, Buffalo is predicted to win a three-way tie breaker based on strength of victory.

Of the teams the Bills would be best to face, I think this is the easiest order: Dolphins, Colts, Steelers, Titans, Browns, KC. Reasoning is that Bills have fared better against tough defenses than tough offenses.

Hey! Seems like 10-20 years on this site and I have my first merged post above. Would you look at that.

We had a WR who could not break into WR lineup so he practiced with defense and became a strong safety with good hands.
George Wilson. Pick 6 against Dallas on Monday night.

Josh Allen? Edmunds?

2021 - Under rookie contract
2022 - 5th year option
2023 - Guessing the franchise tag will be around $35M+, hard to say.
If the level of his play continues to escalate, I'd hope a 5-year $200M contract extension starting in 2023 mostly guaranteed would be about right and would allow Josh to hit FA at least one more time while still in his prime.

i couldn’t tell if that play was designed to be a pass, or a RPO, or was Josh improvising.
It was a designed fake run, pass play. You can tell by the way the OLINE faked run blocking, and then pass blocked. This was a great change-up from the other 20 times we ran it from a similar down/distance/field position with a similar formation and set.
Another changeup was actually snapping the ball at the end of a quarter against favorable looks, when they had just been going for the off-sides calls.

59.9945= 60%
Would be 60% if Kroft catches that ball instead of letting the defender catch it. Oh wait...

We need a good coach, one that will try an onside kick in the 4th quarter of a tied game where wind and weather help slow down the offense. Thanks for the W BB!

An interesting move
Brilliant and nasty and legal! The defender was leaning forward, unbalanced. Winters backs up a step while knocking both the defenders arms down then pushes the defender to the ground and lands on top.

Nothing much. On June 4, 2017, Lee was involved in a verbal altercation with a woman at the Governors Ball Music Festival on Randall’s Island.

Not kicking the FG was totally boneheaded
Hindsight, but it was totally the right call to go for the win.
Just pick up 1/2 yard on 4th down and win - which is easier than stopping Seattle from picking up a PAT.
Or stop Seattle from driving 95 yards to win - which is easier than stopping Seattle from driving 75 yards for a TD.
Perhaps I would scrutinize the decision to run right instead of left, but not the decision to go for fourth down.

Add in a missed game check for the players
Do you think players are paid game checks if they don't play a game due to the other team's forfeit? Not sure what the CBA says about that.
Chiefs now have 2 preseason games and a bye week

There is a chance 0.1% that the Bills get the #1 seed. The scenario is this:
I am still holding out hope, but not really.
