What would make you feel good about the Texans game, around 4:15pm on Sunday?

Here's the scenario:

 

McDermott calls out the punt team with less than 3 minutes remaining in the game and needing a TD!........trailing 21-17.

 

Game thread goes ballistic.........next gen stats have proven that good teams don't punt in this situation!

 

But the D forces a 3 and out and the Bills get the ball back with 1:48 and no timeouts!

 

Josh Allen leads them on a 7 play 55 yard drive culminating in a dramatic back of the end zone 15 yard TD pass with just 13 seconds on the clock!

 

Josh Allen  goes 26-38  for 340 yards with 3 TD passes..........cementing his sure-shot superstar status.

Whatever you've got, may I please share it?

Progress from Josh Allen is the one thing I hope for every week.  Anything else is gravy.

 

Gravy options:

One or two WR stepping up and building chemistry with Allen.

Marcus Murphy showing he can play like he did in pre-season, in a real game.

O Line developing chemistry 

D Line getting constant pressure on the QB

A Bills win

I'll settle for Josh fixing the low throws...baby steps

You my friend are a true visionary. Since they aren't playing until 4 hours later, how do you see this going down? Arrest? Practice injury? Slapped by beaver tail? Or maybe deported by ICE in a case of mistaken identity? 

 

Kitchen accident. Having a final TB12 snack at home before leaving for Gillette.

After applying a spoonfull of special avocado spread to his medium-sized banana, no one saw the banana peel fall to the floor (Giselle was in the other room re-watching herself on the Tonight Show for like the 20th time.). Tom took two steps reaching for his black, sprockets-style, mock turtleneck, slipped on the banana peel, and smashed his throwing hand on the deluxe juicer on the counter next to him. Two broken metacarpals requiring pins.

This thread is the best.  BadolBills stuff, now this.

I'm easy to please.  A win would do it for me.  Now, after I feel good for a while, I'll start worrying about the next game if Buffalo doesn't show some improvement in their passing offense, including Josh Allen's accuracy and decision making, the offensive line's blocking and the receivers holding on to catchable balls.

I know but I just don't understand

I do understand. A lot of fans want to see some semblance of a real NFL offense. You're not going to win much in this league relying on your defense for turnovers every week.

I would be happy with Josh showing progress particularly in the mental part of his game. I pick three things:

 

1. Throw a pass with anticipation where Josh read the defense and recognized weak spots to take advantage of

2. Read a blitz and quickly convert a hot route pass to counter it

3. Stop showing excitement when you flop on a personal foul call. It doesn't project a good image and refs will catch on 

 

Imho, we are never going to be a great team without a quarterback and Josh Allen needs to show improvement

As an aspirational goal that would make you feel good, permit me to tell you yours blows.

I was just joking so relax, will you?  I feel sorry for you its only football you know. But if you want a serious answer to this topic it is just knowing that this team has played to the best of their abilities and they have continued to make progress. If the Bills win that will be great if they lose better luck next week. Oh, by the way, I would never tell you anything you post blows even it does. I don't operate that way.

It doesn’t matter if he flops. You are only allowed to hit the QB within 2 steps after he passes

 

he was hit after 2 steps. It’s a foul regardless of severity

I would feel good if Ryan Teller got the start at OG......and we were talking about how he was bullying ppl all game opening up holes for the run

I am rooting for the guy because I am a Bills fan, so of course I want any player we have to succeed.... but man, I feel like Teller is going to be this years "Brandon Reilly"

That wasn't my point...some would rather lose than win...that's what I don't understand

A win. This feels like the classic game where we get our hopes up and we get dominated. If we could get to .500 after what we saw on the field those first 6 quarters of the year it would be a great accomplishment imo. I think it would also be great for the team as a whole as far as morale and chemistry goes, knowing that they have clawed their way back into the thick of things.

no injuries,  low score,  great defense,  good run game

It is the year of our lord two thousand and eighteen, passing has never been easier in the NFL, and this is what we wish for out of our favorite team. How about that Process?

 

I wish for more than 84 yards passing. I wish for Allen to stand in the pocket and go through his progressions instead of bailing out at the slightest hint of pressure. I wish for the #7 overall pick to see guys when they get open. I wish I didn't have the same criticisms of this QB as the last one, but here we are.

I would like to Allen and the offense resemble the one that played the first half at Minnesota.  That game is the only one this year where Daboll got Allen in rythem early.  It carried through out the game.  The front 4 for Houston is ferocious.  Get them going sideline to sideline with screens and quick passes early.  Open up the middle of the field.  This is one of those games Buffalo will need to get some completions early to move back the safties to better run the ball.

why do you want a low score? hard to win unless you score points

good points but the problem is that their front 4 is so good the DBs will be playing tight....have to figure a way to beat that but our WRs don't seem to get open quickly
