Lurker Posted November 3, 2019 Share Posted November 3, 2019 4 minutes ago, Bob in STL said: We are not going to sweep the next four. We are a team on the rise but we are not a top contender yet. We are not a BAD team like Bradshaw the idiot said, but we are a middle tier team that is trending up. The National Media will not get on board until we produce a juggernaut team like the SB teams. It’s just not a story they care to tell so let’s wait and see. Right now now I think we can be a 10 win team and yes, with a fortunate schedule. Them’s the breaks. How about beating a team with a winning record then? As it stands now, that leaves only NE (nope), Baltimore (they don't match up well) or Dallas (turkey day is always tough).

Teddy KGB Posted November 3, 2019 Share Posted November 3, 2019 2 minutes ago, CommonCents said: Nonsense. They can win 10 games without beating a team above 500 and that’s where you choose to hang your hat. I didn’t state they were very good. I said unless Allen takes a major step forward they won’t beat a contender. That remains true. You can add Brian Daboll to that formula. This is not a very good team, like it or not.

3rdand12 Posted November 3, 2019 Share Posted November 3, 2019 12 minutes ago, WideNine said: I saw a screen attempt where the Redskins were all over it and Allen threw down into the ankles. We did have one screen to Singletary to the right with a bit of weakside misdirection where no one from the Skin's defense seemed to expect it. Our chubby guys were thumping downfield looking for anyone to block and basically just in Singletary's way. beastly awesome play . Redskins were fooled. and the fat kids were awesome running and looking to unload the wood 9 minutes ago, Wayne Arnold said: Thought Allen played well today. The OLine stunk and Daboll called plays like he was working in the 1991 Redskins offensive line. How many times are you going to run up the middle on whatever-and-short when time after time the OLine has proven that they cannot get push? Till they can get the push. obviously 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevewin Posted November 3, 2019 Share Posted November 3, 2019 1 hour ago, Hapless Bills Fan said: I know, Right? Although I suspect Bradshaw has some comments that might be meaningful beyond sound bites. Howie?? was talking about the lack of downfield throws and if Allen starts hitting them that’s the missing them, and Bradshaw started shaking his head and saying “they’re not set up for that, they need more weapons” I suspect a former champion QB probably has a good eye for what’s going on (or not going on) with the WR downfield. Well another side of it is that the national talking heads many times have less real information about what is going on and tend to just go with the most commonly regurgitated narratives. So many times I've listened to some national expert weigh in on the Bills and they are so wrong about some things it's almost comical. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DuckyBoys Posted November 3, 2019 Share Posted November 3, 2019 I think not only making the playoffs but at least winning one game should be where the bar is set. Not sure they can get there unless we see a more aggressive offense and defense. They haven't asked Allen to do a whole lot the past several games. I wonder if they just expect him to turn it on when the defense struggles again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CincyBillsFan Posted November 4, 2019 Share Posted November 4, 2019 The good, bad and interesting about today's game: The Good: * We won the game and raised our record to 6 - 2. The best start since 1993. That's 27 years! * The defensive adjustment at half was brilliant. To play so poorly against the run in the 1st half and then to shut the run down in the 2nd half is good defensive coaching & execution. * Daboll added some nice wrinkles to the offense in the 1st half and he got Singletary the ball. Singletary went a long way towards showing us that he is the desperately needed big play guy on offense. Breakout game for him. * Special teams made a huge play with a great KO return. * Beasley caught a TD pass for the 3rd game in a row. * Allen was accurate on BOTH his long throws. * The key play where Allen & Brown converted the 3rd & 18 late in the 4th to seal the win was a thing of beauty. * #97 is a stud. The Bad: * The run defense in the 1st half was terrible. It reminded me of last years 2nd quarter performance in the Jacksonville game. The defense also let the Redskins out of the hole a couple of times robbing the Bills of the field position benefit of your opponent going into the wind. Also the Bills did not force a TO playing a raw rookie QB. * The Bills short yardage offense was horrible. It's bad when BOTH play calling & execution on short yardage and goal line situations was so poor. The play calling after the Bills had a 1st & goal at the 2 in the first quarter was the worst I've seen. * DaBold went into a shell in the 3rd quarter. * I may catch heat here but I thought Foster misplayed the Allen deep ball. With the wind conditions today a WR has to be prepared to track the ball in the air as it WILL move around. That pass wasn't that far off and had Foster taken a couple of steps towards the ball it may have been a TD. Instead he kept running the pattern straight down the sideline. * The officiating. Not calling a PI on the missed deep pass to Brown is unacceptable. You can't let the DB wrap up the WR's legs BEFORE the ball arrives. Had Brown been free to move he easily tracks the ball and makes a catch for a big gain. The Interesting: * I thought BOTH deep balls were thrown well by Allen. The first to Brown was almost caught in spite of a guy wrapping Brown's legs up well before the ball got there. The 2nd was misplayed by Foster IMO. * The pass play before Allen converted a 3rd & 18 to Brown was an amazing play in spite of Brown dropping the ball. Allen is one of only a couple of NFL QB's that could have avoided the sack on that play. He then threw a perfect pass that should have been caught and scored a TD. This is why we should be optimistic about Allen's future as our QB. * We had another almost Allen fumble. I get people's concern and the argument about these kinds of designed runs. But keep in mind that on that last TD drive there were TWO big plays that benefited from Allen's threat to run: 1) The first was on the completion to Brown that converted a 3rd & 18. It was Allen's threat to run that brought the safety off his coverage of Brown, 2) the 2nd was the Singletary run. That was the read option play that Allen almost lost a fumble on. This time Allen read the D, gave the ball to Motor who went in for the TD untouched. These are the benefits that we get from Allen running that don't show up on the stat line. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
