The Process Posted September 24, 2018 Share Posted September 24, 2018 For the entire tuhrod tenure I felt sick on third and more than 5 yards. Yesterday....it just felt different. I remember back in the glory years it was relaxing to see Kelly in shotgun Reed loaded for bear on third down. I felt a little of that yesterday.....anyone else feel that way? 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Said he was standing up screaming, ran onto the field "to dab him up" (congratulate him) - "But don't ever do that again" If the team was checking out, starting Allen is a credit card that checked them all in. Well, most of them, Benjamin seems resistant. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WhoTom Posted September 24, 2018 Share Posted September 24, 2018 Something else that felt different: in the past, the Bills have had a penchant for reaching into the jaws of victory to snatch defeat. So much so that my definition of a "comfortable" lead is a 7-to-1 ratio: 7 points for every minute left in the game. Yesterday, about 3 minutes into the 3rd quarter, I felt very comfortable with a 1-to-1 ratio. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ctk232 Posted September 24, 2018 Share Posted September 24, 2018 I know exactly what you mean - 3rd down was always a point of complete lack of confidence that we could convert, and any result to the otherwise was met with equal surprise. Especially under Tyrod, you just could never count on the offense doing anything to convert 3rd downs. We've established, ad nauseam, that it was due to Dennison and Taylor primarily, but Allen makes or at least attempts the throws that we haven't seen in a hot minute from this team. I always equated it to the Pats offense, or other offenses where the momentum is so palpable that you can't help but feel like they were going to drive the field and score. It'd be nice to see some of that again, and get that feeling back. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Benjamin is going to have to figure it out quickly if Allen keeps beaning him with the ball. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Allen is looking for the sticks, not the safety valve. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PlayoffsPlease Posted September 24, 2018 Share Posted September 24, 2018 It did not feel different. It is different. Allen forces defense to respect damn near the whole field on every down. Since 3rd and 10 is well with Allens' ability to convert, teams have to consider that the bills can go for it on first and second down every series . If the bills no five yards on second and 10, but there is a five a yard penalty, its not a no brainer too put the Bills back five yards for second and 15 any more.
