90% of the credit goes to the defense.

 

So 10% goes to the O and Allen who put 17 to win???  Ummm ok.  I assume you were never an Allen guy and are looking for any reason to discredit him.  Here's the thing though... Allen willed this team to a win.  Sorry that that bums you out lol!!!

Actually, he needed to catch that ball. As far as making the completion is concerned it was an accurate throw . I guarantee you that’s how he sees it.

well part of not letting it pop in the air would be catching it---so i agree;)

The offense did their job at the end but the defense won the game... Oh, and the Jets kicker. He won it for us too.

Allen actually looked good today. His picks were tipped balls, the 1 fumble was on Morse getting absolutely blown up at the snap, the ball never even made a motion towards Allen's hands. He looked more accurate, more comfortable in the pocket. Most importantly he led the team back to win. Made some big throws in between Singletary shredding the Jets on that last drive and of course the touchdown. Brown and Beasley made a huge difference in the passing game today. Definitely underrated free agent pick ups in the offseason.

 

I was way more concerned with the play calling. This should be a balanced offense, absolutely no reason to come out throwing 15 out of 16 plays. New England doesn't even do that and they have the GOAT at the position. We were built to run the ball. Drafted Singletary, released McCoy, you have Gore and Yeldon also in the backfield. Rebuilt the entire offensive line. Just a really strange approach to the game today. Next week hopefully makes more sense.

Did anyone else notice Ford moving to guard and Neshke entering the game as RT in the 2nd half? That will probably remain the lineup the rest of the season.

 

I think the pass heavy opening was due to how strong the Jets are up the middle.  Probably as strong of a middle of the field defense as anyone in the NFL.

So happy for the D that they got this win, amazing game for them.

 

Evaluating Allen is tough, he had his moments and won the game but also had a ton of bad plays.

 

Singletary looked awesome! 

A ton of bad plays? Come on.

Jets fans are having a complete meltdown. They are convinced Darnold is a terrible QB. I have to say that Darnold was not the reason they lost. Their bad oline and suspect secondary are the real reason.

 

I hope the Jets make the mistake of moving on from Darnold.

Yes the Bills D did a great job but when is the last time the Bills had a 16 point deficit erased by a QB that didn't need luck plays, fortunate bounces, or miracles to get the job done?  Allen won this game.  Clutch gene.

Whatever the reason, if you're a good team, you play your game. Coaching staff outsmarted themselves. The balanced attack was exponentially more effective in the 2nd half.

Seems to me the biggest difference maker was CJ Mosley. He was on, we were poor. He was off, we were much better.

 

I don't really agree with this narrative. Yes, Mosley made some big plays and not having him as a signal caller late in the game definitely hurt the Jets, but the Bills were moving the ball with ease in the first half as well, they were just turning the ball over. It's not like the Jets D was stifling when Mosley was in and then fell apart, it was just the Bills made a lot of mistakes in the first half, but not the second.

 

In the first half, we had two 9-play drives, a 7-play drive, a 5-play drive. They only had one 3-and-out and only two punts. The rest of the drives ended with turnovers.

Allen is a winner, for sure. Not sure he'll ever get to a place of consistent, elite QB play, but I bet he'll win a lot of games.

Yeah, Gore would be better late in a game when the other team's D is tired. That's how I thought they'd use him. They were probably playing it safe by giving the veteran the start and trying to ease the rookie in. 

 

I guess we can consider him eased in now

Good take kind sir!!!

You attack the other teams' weakness.

 

Yea, they're strong in the middle of the field so you run outside. Don't understand why "strong up the middle" means throw the ball every down.

What I like about JA for a youngster he’s got ball$ .... turnovers didn’t make him flinch just kept plugging away.  

 

Also I’ll add I like what the Bill$ did with the draft.

The word is resilience. He showed it today

Exactly correct. There wasn't anything Allen did today that made me think he didn't belong out there. Much improved in decision making, in accuracy, in reading the D. And he never panicked.

I will settle for wins over stats.  I think he will be one of those guys that will win games but doesn't have highlight stats...but will have highlight moments.  Feeling encoruaged.

For a young guy, he didn't let adversity get him down.  Allen showed a resolve you can not be coached.

 

 

Good quote from Coach Cowher on post-game... he said "adversity doesn't build character, it reveals it." 

 

I had my doubts earlier in the game, but Allen shook off the turnovers and made plays when he had to.  He wasn't alone... it was a great team win.

Watched on NFL ticket.  The other six games that were on....some really bad offensive football was played across the league. 

Yup, the poor play is because teams are Not taking preseason seriously, they are not capitalizing on the given opportunity to play opposing teams to fine tune their own games, they are treating it like the pro bowel.

 

Go Bills!!!

Totally inaccurate. The jets pretty much played the same way the entire game. There was no “collapse.” The Bills finally got out of their own way. 

This 100%.  The Bills controlled that whole game, turnovers just killed them in the first half.

Cowher stole than from John Wooden who probably lifted it from someone else, like Marcus Aurelius.

Its been said by others... And by you here.  But it appears we found a franchise QB.   Despite the fluke turnovers, he persevered.  Never looked lost. Amd just kept making the plays that needed to be made.  He made every throw.. Long and short, hit receivers in stride, led the team when they needed it most.  Damn fine way to start the season!!

The common denominator is DiMarco. He gave a huge pop up on some of Peterman's famous 5 turnover half as well. I am amazed that we still put anywhere near being a receiver on pass plays.
