I'm sure he must be thrilled

I thought 1st half in the passing game Allen looked off. 2nd half, he looked much better and made several of his patented throws including a rollout to the left and throw a laser beam to Coleman coming across, a step up and thru the pocket running towards the LOS throw to find Hawes inside the 5, and even that throw to Shakir was textbook perfect ball placement because he essentially "told" Shakir to turn towards the sideline by where he put that ball on his outside shoulder because he saw the defender coming from the inside, and helped Shakir avoid him.
Small sample size since he was done early into the 4th, but I was much happier with what I saw from Allen in the 2nd half.

The Ravens and Steelers haven't even played yet. The Ravens have only beaten the Steelers twice in a season once during the Lamar Jackson era, and that was his 2019 MVP season. Somehow, the Steelers find a way to beat the Ravens at least once a season even when they have Kenny Pickett and the Ravens have a healthy Lamar.
They were trash last year too, and still beat a healthy Baltimore team 18-16 in Pittsburgh. AFC North division games are a different animal. Even the Browns in their lowest years pull off upsets.
Browns beat the Ravens too last year on the strength of a crazy Jameis Winston game

No. When the Bills best is required, we typically get it. Now we need to see that actually carry over for the defense against KC in the playoffs if we meet them.

Believe it or not Ravens still have a 55% chance of making the playoffs.

I remember during his Jets days. EVERY player wanted to play for Rex. Guys were saying it while being on another team. Those Hard Knocks episodes were the best of the series. He connects with players on the level of Gruden, Dick Vermiel, and Dungy. I never understood the hate for him. Being an introvert, I get jealous of people who are so easily able to form deep relationships.
A lot of these players didn’t have a father figure growing up and Rex Ryan definitely filled that role for a lot of them. I don’t want to derail this into another person, but I’ve always felt McDermott had that same quality just in a different way. A good coach instills more than just football lessons, but life ones as well.
McD's shining moment was the way he handled that Hamlin situation and told the refs the Bills would walk off the field and forfeit the game before they would resume playing.

Beautiful moment with Rex Ryan on his former player.
Man that was tough to watch...Ryan might be a lot of things, but I think deep down he is a good person who cared a ton about the players he coached.

Especially without Daniels. Mariota is barf.

Love the Chiefs get the short week with 1.5 days less rest AND have to travel for the game on top of it!

7 minutes ago, QB Bills said:
Some oft-repeated claims in this thread that need to cleared up:
1. Brady/Manning won/didn't win because of blah blah blah: Brady won more than half of his super bowls scoring less than 30 points. One of them by scoring 13. Peyton Manning was a much better QB earlier in his career when he couldn't get over the hump than he was in that year he won with the Broncos. As always, lets not conflate team accomplishments with individual success. Defense is an important part of championship teams almost always. The Bills under Sean McDermott have been borderline awful on that side of the ball for most playoff games since he's been the coach. Josh Allen has been mostly incredible in the postseason but he literally has zero margin for error because of the other side of the ball.
2. The receivers can't separate: Pretty much the same group as last year. And if this was any other QB that fans on here like to rag on (Tua, Lamar, etc), we'd definitely hear the familiar refrain of "this isn't college...in the NFL, that's open" on a lot of these routes that people post here.
3. Getting married has affected Allen's game: Pretty sure there have been other QBs with wives who have done okay. This is just a ridiculous excuse that should not even be seriously debated. If Allen is that mentally fragile (spoiler alert: he's not), then this team has way bigger problems going forward.
Manning won a Super Bowl with the Colts in 2006 defeating the Bears 29-17. It was the game that Devin Hester returned the opening kickoff for a TD...remember it clear as day still.
-
One of my favorite things I saw in that game was Elijah Moore busting ass to get a clean cut-off block on the dude chasing Shakir along the sideline on the long TD he had. Even tho it looked like he wasn't going to catch him, never know if he could have dove and got a finger tip ankle trip on him...Moore eliminated that chance with a great hustle play...guarantee he is getting Big Props for that play when they watch the film.

Lots of ups in a 40-9 blowout but I would give my 3 as follows.
PED Twins and Hairston - All 3 had a big impact on the defense. Larry O may not get on the stat sheet but he helped control the LOS. Hoecht was all over the place, looked like he did in pre-season. Hairston added some speed at corner and looked pretty good esp for someone making their first start in the NFL off an injury.
James Cook- This team clearly has a second offensive super star (third if you count Dawkins). Not much can be said about how he dominated this game.
The rest of the D-line - In addition to Larry O and Hoecht the key players on the D-line Groot, Bosa, Ed (before he got unfortunately hurt), AJE, and Walker were all dominant and it just opened up the rest of the defense.
Some downs
WR's besides Shakir can't get it going - Slight down because they weren't really needed. Shakir had the big catch that broke the game open and then it was James Cook all day. But this offense still needs a WR on the outside that can win 1 v 1 consistently. Hopefully some teams that lost games this week open up their WR's to trades.
Ed Oliver injury - Injuries are the worst part of football. I'm hoping this is another week to week injury in terms of maybe it is a smaller tear or a strain. But mentally I am thinking this is a tear and that's gonna put Ed out until some time in January most likely.
Josh still seems a bit off- I'm fully reaching for a down since there's not much to be down about but Josh still didn't seem to be 100% there in terms of his play. He wasn't needed much which is likely the way Joe Brady wanted it. But I think the WR's not being open consistently and Cook dominating the game were making him not needed. But it still seemed like when he was needed he wasn't quite there.
Honorable mentions
Up- Poyer and Handcock stepping up opposite Cole who also played well.
Up- Offensive line just dominated the game.
Honestly I think KC is coming in at the right time for the Bills. Fresh off a blowout and a bye week one week removed for the Bills (thus the Bills didn't play a quarter of the game for most starters) and KC is playing Monday and then has to travel to Buffalo. Hoping this is a close game that KC has to at the very least go down to the wire for. But more importantly I think this team mentally needs to "get it up" for a game mid-season. I think this team can kind of coast in the early season and that's why you always see those two game losses every year. Well there's no game better at getting this team in gear than the KC game. The Bills 2023 mad dash towards the division title when down 3 games to Miami was started by that win in KC that year.
1st half Josh was definitely off. 2nd half Josh seemed much more like typical Josh.

Kincaid with only 12 snaps? Concerned he may have reinjured something with his oblique when he had to reach up high to pull in that 20 yard catch from Allen...

Well, you cant really complain too much about a 31pt win on the road they all count the same... so way to go... still have concerns but lets get into it... here is my 3up 3 down
UP
James Cook - because without him we struggle to win this game, dynamic, electric and dangerous... I can only imagine what our passing game woulda been if he wasnt such a dominant threat.
Jordan Poyer - Yes... JP simply from a tackling perspective he upgraded our secondary. He was involved in run support and did a very nice job... in position and played within himself...
Shakir - his ability to RAC is elite at this point...
Honorable Mention
Bosa, Walker Epinesa and Rousseau.. All made big plays for us... that changed the game
DOWN
Bills passing game - Allen takes the blame in the press... and for some he should... we have not seen the MVP Josh maybe since the Ravens maybe Jets... I say passing game because I think our lack of ability to separate at the WR position is going to be an Achilles on our left heal to go with the defense Achilles on our right
Losing ED Oliver - this is a big big loss... and absolutely is a downer for this game... not a Doc, but from what I am reading this is a long term thing, lets see when we get an update.
FO - from watching Josh struggle all season with WR and doing precious little to McD taking over play calls on D (or so I have heard) and not firing Babich and getting a defensive pro in here makes me wonder what they are thinking. Maybe Beane is done and accepting our flaws and realizes that he needs to step back to build up just from a CAP perspective, maybe McD is going to bring in a new DCO but doesnt feel in season is the right time... I dont know... I do know that there are issues to be addressed... issues of their own making... and thats why I am increasingly moving from glad we have these guys to are they a significant part of the problem...
Just call Shakir the "YAC Daddy" at this point.

Playoffs are NOT a given. Even winning the division is not. Sure, the ideal is to peak come postseason, the other 31 teams are not going to lay down and pave the way!
Anyway, Hoecht was fun to watch. On the O side, Hawe still blocks so well, and shoutout to Gilliam. I thought he was not useful besides special teams, but this year, when he is in there with #85, they and the OLine run block so well.Bills have the 2nd highest chance in the AFC to make the playoffs at 86%. Colts are highest at 96%. Bills are higher than the Pats at 84%. I know the Doom and Gloom is cool, but let's stop pretending this team is going to miss the playoffs. A lot of these so called "great" teams we are competing with will start fading by the end of this month as usually happens.

22 minutes ago, BuffaloBillyG said:Just my own opinion from watching the game. I liked what I saw out of the bunch of them yesterday. I'll add in I thought the LBers had a very nice game. Both Williams and Shaq were very active. I didn't notice Larry O very much, but as a DT that probably means he was doing his job. Mad Max was impressive. Hoecht was a demon all over the place. Those two in particular really brought some fire that's been lacking. I also think McDermott's more aggressive inputs pumped the guys up. Defensive guys don't want to be passive and sit back. They want to hunt. And after 7 sacks yesterday...the freezer is stocked.
As some have said, it's one thing to look as good as they did against Andy Dalton and the Panthers. Let's see what they can do against Andy and Pat this week.
I've thought all along that the Bills had the pieces to be a lot better on D and that it was the way those pieces were being used and how the game was being called by Babich that was more of the issue. I mean let's be real, we see teams with average players on D and great coaching put up very good performances, like the 49ers did against the Falcons when half their D was out and their guys were all over the place making plays.

It's just stop trying to be fancy, just do what works. And when they do what they already know works, they are a machine.

The problem is the playoffs are no guarantee. The Bills are in a fight for the division. Along with the Pats the Broncos, and Colts are looking really good. KC always in the mix. When the Ravens get healthy then I expect they will go on a run and might even win their division. The Steelers have the flaws, but record wise they are still in the hunt for the division/WC. I understand that Cook needs rest once in a while, but the Bills might need him to carry a heavy workload just to get into the playoffs.
The Bills have the 2nd highest playoff probability in the AFC right now at 86%, 2nd only to the Colts 96% and higher than the Patriots 84%.
1 minute ago, Andrew Son said:What is not being talked about enough is that our run blocking is incredible. Check out Gilliam on that long TD run
They said Cook had something like 164 yards of his 216 before any contact yesterday which is astounding. I want to say Olsen said it was the most ever in a game since NextGen Stats began keeping track in 2017.

Cook is leading the NFL in YPG at 107.6 and YPC at 6.0...both slightly ahead of Jonathan Taylor who has played an extra game. Cook is heading into best RB in the NFL conversation territory quickly.

I tried to tell people this was going to be a work on progress thru much of the season exactly for this reason. All we need is for them to peak during the right time. We don't need for them to be amazing all year long.

Isn’t this take completely false? The panthers were a top 5-10 run D from the talk all week
The Panthers allowed an average of 44 yards per game rushing over the last 3 games before ours, not sure where he was getting his numbers from

The Bye was a reset of going back to basics in many ways.
And unsurprisingly, the basics worked pretty freaking well just like they almost always do with this team when they execute them properly.

Has 753 yards rushing, 2nd only to Jonathan Taylor's 850 and he has played an extra game.

Seemed like first half was bad and the second half he settled down and was playing much better.

Game week thread - Chiefs at Bills (Video preview on pg. 19)
in The Stadium Wall
Posted · Edited by Big Turk
Allen could claim the all-time QB rushing TD mark (including postseason) with a rushing TD against the Chiefs. He is currently tied with Cam Newton with 77.
