Those two games were on ABC, which might explain the higher ratings. Other than yesterday and Saints/Raiders, MNF aired on ESPN exclusively.
Or it could be that every Bills fan across the country tuned in.

This is... interesting. If I was Dallas, I'd be protesting very loudly to the league office.
Yeah I would walk off the field and refuse to play. F that. Baltimore STILL has players testing positive almost 2 weeks later

How can the NFL legit play this game right now?

My favorite thing from last night was Allen scrambling down around the SF 10, stops to point out a flag to a ref and then throws a completion to Beasley...
That was absolutely hilarious!

That game was a long, long time ago. Miami has really got their defensive act together since then. I doubt we’ll see the same defense in December. But for me it’s more about the weather than anything else. Next four games all have potential to be crappy weather games. That’s what will hold the TD count down. True Josh plays well against the Fins, but late December in Buffalo might he run-first type games. We’ll see.
Oh? How did it go in the first game this year for them?

I said no. @Den, @NE, Pitt and Mia. Four tough defenses. Lousy weather coming.
Allen has some of his best games against Miami...remember the end of Allen's rookie year where he threw his only career pick 6 right before half and then came out in the 2nd half and absolutely destroyed them?
Miami playing man coverage is a recipe for disaster.

He is on pace for 34 or 35 depending on rounding up or down....so if he only plays his average games he will...
Most assuredly he will break most total TDs as it 34 by Kelly and he has 33 right now, so he only needs 2 more for that one...

I am not trying to hate on our OL or Daboll. But I would say Josh has been successful in spite of them more often than because of them. If this was a "they got Diggs so of course he will be better" argument at least that makes sense. Bills OL has played some good games and some shaky ones. Same goes for Daboll.
You realize that far more goes into the OC position than what happens on Sundays right?

The problem with discussing any football reporter, especially ones from ESPN, is that you are ultimately trying to have a rationale conversation about a hyperbolic statement and that doesnt work.
The truth is Baker, Lamar, and Josh are all top 15 QBs in the league right now. Just because one player has a great game, it doesnt mean the other is trash.
If you want to look at Baker and Josh specifically, they are relatively close in what they've been able to accomplish in the NFL. Josh has more wins, more combined touchdowns, and less ints. Baker has a better completion percentage (by .7) and has a few more combined yards. Baker is a good quarterback, but if you want to be real about elite physical talent, I think we all know how you should pick.
The lesson here. Stop watching FS1 and ESPN for God's sake.
Baker is a game manager. Maybe he can be a very good game manager but if he doesn't have a running game he is not going to beat you himself. Allen can and sometimes they don't even bother running. That's the major difference I see.

KC of course.

Fumble gets credited to the QB as the last one to control the ball. QBR gives credit for rushing yards. Josh only had one positive rush all night.
After the Hyde pick, I thought we would see a QB draw on first down.I thought that play was there to be had on the 4th down early in the game where he tried to hit Smith in the back of the endzone...Allen had the angle to make it to the endzone I believe...

I couldn't believe they did that, last night. I thought was hilarious.
That said, I'd love to know the background behind why they did it. It was so unusual.
Beasley said they talked about it in practice and he liked the idea and said he was so happy when Feliciano came running up and did it for the celebration

Said it in the other thread about Wentz. Think he is one of the best people in the NFL. His work outside of the NFL through his AO1 Charity is fantastic. However, he hasnt been the same since the knee injury. He cant drive the ball anymore. Watching him throw an out is honestly kind of sad. Hope he can comeback from this, but if he doesnt I know he will do more with his life outside of the game than a lot of us will ever imagine.
He has no confidence in himself, no confidence in his OLine, no confidence in the receivers and no confidence in the playcalls...
Orlovsky has a video of a play where he has a perfect pocket and he never even set his feet on the dropback, he kept leaning forward and basically took off from a clean pocket, ran into pressure and then threw a ball out of bounds as he was getting hit...
It was really bad QB play...reminded me of something we would see in Josh's rookie season, but Allen was still learning how to play...Wentz has no excuses for this.

No I dont think poster is confused with last year, I think the poster is reflecting on the San Fran game and I would agree with him/her.
One game doesn't make it a trend or make it an issue for the year. Also, a team is not going to make every 3rd or 4th and short run. The 49ers got stuffed by us quite a few times also. Just how it works. Sometimes the defense makes a play too.
However, our league leading 3rd down conversion rate has been pretty consistent throughout the year at around 50% which will keep the chains moving a lot, as our franchise record streak of 12 games and counting with 20+ first downs will show.
Also, ironically in a game where the poster brings up our inability to get a 1st down in one situation, the Bills rolled up 31 first downs, setting a franchise record for a regulation game.
-
The Bills actually went into the game with a 71% Power Success Rate which was 10th best in the NFL. It isn't that big of an issue this year. Last year we were bad at power runs, near the bottom with a success rate of like 53% or something.
This year it hasn't been that big of a problem. You are confusing the struggles with last year's team most likely in your mind.

To me, the fact that the only three people listed as still talking smack about Allen this morning are all verified TROLLS -- that is, people whose "gimmick" is to say controversial stuff and get people riled up -- tells me all I need to know.
When Skip Bayless, Steven A Smith, and Nick Wright -- actually, who am I kidding? No one knows or cares who Nick Wright is -- but those first two guys, when they're trash talking you after a big performance, it means you've made it. Don't forget, Skip Bayless is the dude who still trash talks LEBRON JAMES.
Anyway...all NON-troll sports media outlets and personalities are pretty much universally praising Allen today. But the trolls? Well, trolls gonna troll.Steven A didn't say anything bad...actually the opposite...he said he is playing at an elite level but he won't call him elite yet because he wants to see him do it when it matters in the playoffs. It's a fair take, I can't argue with it.

The more attention John Allen gets, the more Daboll will be a hot coaching candidate.
That said, Greg Roman wasn't able to cash in on helping Lamar Jackson win an MVP by re-working the offense, so you never know.
LOTS of open jobs this year, though, so that worries me.
You know some team will do something nuts like hire Dave Wannstedt or Mike Mularkey or Dick Jauron as its head coach.
Roman has been the opposite in his offensive trends throughout his career...at every stop his offense regressed over time not progressed...in effect his best year was his first year in most places with the same players.
His systems got figured out, weaknesses exposed and he has struggled to adjust. Happened in SF, happened here and is happening in Baltimore.
That wouldn't give me confidence if I was an owner.

Dorsey will have the playbook they are using this year. As will McDermott and all the players. Daboll goes and Dorsey is promoted I am sure he will add some stuff and take some stuff out but that happens year to year anyway.
They are not going to rip up everything they have run this year.
Probably 70% of the plays in the playbook are plays that every team in the league has. Some of the concepts might be unique in the way they are designed but the concepts themselves are not. Daboll has a great feel for when to call certain plays, what to attack on a defense and how to call them against certain looks, which I think is much more important than the actual plays since many of them are very similar.

This appears to be a good matchup for the Bills...Steelers are not too good running the ball...in fact they only average 92.8 yards a game, 10 fewer than the Bills. Their offense is OK, but doesn't put up a lot of yards. Their D is susceptible to being thrown on.
I could see the Bills winning in a surprisingly comfortable fashion especially with their pass rush taking a hit with Dupree out now.

Why do we always talk about the line for the next game opening after a game? The line opened like a week ago
Well, true, but usually there is some sort of adjustment due to recency bias with it after both teams play and we get the results from the previous game.
-
Surprisingly a quick look at the Steeler Forums shows most of the fans think the Bills are gonna T-roll them next week.

They did force him out of the pocket a fair amount, but he just calmly slide to the side and threw from there. Could consider that as pressure, just wasn't very effective. Half the QB's in the league that would work against.
The throw where Allen climbed the pocket and weaved around 4 defenders before calmly flicking the ball to Diggs was just pure magic. And he makes it look so easy.

Week 13 TNF: Dallas at Baltimore

Haha...how has that been working out for them? Anyone willing to bet more positive tests in the WR room over the next day or two?
