Mickey Posted November 24, 2019 Share Posted November 24, 2019 I can't wait until tomorrow morning when I can turn on the radio and hear some ridiculously obscure stat that proves that we have a terrible quarterback. Did you know which QB has the lowest QBR/DVOA x YPA + YAC/TD/INT rating in the league based on games played against the Eagles in Buffalo NY in the year 2019? Oh yeah, its Josh Allen people, not that I am saying he is not good or won't eventually be our franchise QB, I am just saying that he has the worst (*&EW(e09 rating in the league. 3 1 10 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Antonio Posted November 24, 2019 Share Posted November 24, 2019 Good job today against a very good D. Oline played great, Josh did very well but the big guys deserve all the credit. 200+ yards running. I think only one sack. ?? 6 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MAJBobby Posted November 24, 2019 Share Posted November 24, 2019 A second observation about this offense is the checks at the line seem to happen more often than not with more than 15 seconds left on the clock. why is that a little concerning is If I can see it. Teams will see it and disguise their defense enough so either Daboll can’t give Allen the proper check or have Daboll make a check just to switch out before Ball snapped Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree, they still need a another legit WR, , probably a bruising type of young Frank Gore RB and one lineman either to take Spains place at guard or you move Ford to guard, then sign a FA RT and still draft one too. Earlier in the season I would have said move Ford inside, but today going up against Von Miller, hardly heard Miller or Ford mentioned. Maybe Ford is fine at RT, particularly with a year under his belt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LABILLBACKER Posted November 24, 2019 Share Posted November 24, 2019 Josh is improving every week. Just not at the lightning speed pace that impatient fans demand. I'm very very encouraged by his progress. This is an offense that won't be fully ready till next year. This year reminds me of 1989. Next year might be our 1990. 8 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boatdrinks Posted November 24, 2019 Share Posted November 24, 2019 Loved the win , but still a bit concerned. They have work to do for certain. Improving the offensive personnel won’t happen this season, but I still see squandered opportunities. I’ll write off the strange INT by Josh as a fluke , but he had a couple questionable throws. Overall pretty good on his part. The procedure penalties and senseless holding has to stop. The Bills can move the ball pretty well , even without big target wideouts. They’re still their own worst enemy. Daboll was mostly good today, save for going to the well a couple times too often with stuff the Broncos were ready for. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GunnerBill Posted November 24, 2019 Share Posted November 24, 2019 (edited) A little. The sloppy penalties need cutting down and I still think longer term we will need more weapons but Spain, Feliciano, Brown and Beasley were home run FA signings. EDIT: and just further..... Feliciano is better at center than guard and he has played better in his snaps at that spot than the big money signing of Morse.

GunnerBill Posted November 24, 2019 Share Posted November 24, 2019 Just now, ScottLaw said: Yup. Gotta give Beane credit.... I wonder what they do with Spain. Only signed a one year deal so he is a FA at years end. Might depend on how they think Ford has gone at RT. If they want to move him inside I suspect they let Spain walk and try and find another tackle. If they are happy with Ford then I suspect they try and hold onto Spain but then it still comes down to $$s. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MAJBobby Posted November 24, 2019 Share Posted November 24, 2019 Now what I did like. Bills Offense went right at what is considered Denver’s Defense Strength against the run and straight bullied them. Second earlier in game was is Redzone and stopped twice. Another Strength of Denver their RedZone Defense. So adjustment was take a strike to the endzone early either just inside the Redzone or out of the Redzone.

MAJBobby Posted November 24, 2019 Share Posted November 24, 2019 I also think Singletary has Solidified himself as the RB1 of these team. And now with the Barry Sanders thing behind Gore the less and less hopefully we see him. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BillsFanSD Posted November 24, 2019 Share Posted November 24, 2019 I'm very happy with how our offense performed this week, but the next five weeks are going to tell us a lot about our roster. I said earlier in the season that our offense figured to get better as the year went along because of the injuries to Singletary and Kroft and the time it takes for all the new guys to gel. To be honest, I soured a bit on this unit a few weeks ago, but I really, really hope that we can sustain the performance that we've had the past couple of weeks. Right now would be an excellent time to peak. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VW82 Posted November 24, 2019 Share Posted November 24, 2019 (edited) Yup Singletary emerging as a force has changed everything. Now we can run option offense that teams have to respect. This was always our destiny if we got far enough. Also, it's so nice to have bruisers like Feliciano who can shift over to center and we don't miss a beat. Edit: what's exciting is Allen and Singletary still have another level they can get to with the option. Josh let Devin get crushed by a DE in one of the exchanges early today. We already know he's good at that but those two don't have as many game reps together as Allen/Gore. More of those plays are going to start becoming big plays IMO because they're both such threats as runners.

Jrb1979 Posted November 24, 2019 Share Posted November 24, 2019 As good as they have been playing, I blame the way they play in the 3rd qtr on their conservative coach. Today was a day to keep the foot on the gas for all 4 qtrs. Instead they try to run out the clock half way through the 3rd. Good teams keep trying to make plays and put up points. Not the Bills, McDermott seems to like running out the clock early. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

peterpan Posted November 24, 2019 Share Posted November 24, 2019 The O looked awesome in the first half. Only bad play was the messed up fake-handoff which caused the INT. (There were two or three other option reads that were not clean, those need to be addressed) That being said, it was 6-0 at half. Not exactly a huge lead. We need to get TDs. There was a stretch in the 3rd quarter ( I think?) Were we didn't sustain drives. That was a tad worrisome, as one lucky play from the Broncos could have made it extremely close. 4th quarter they put their opposnent away, exactly what you'd like to see!! Overall a very good outing. If we expect to beat NE on a few weeks though, we can't settle for two FGs early and we can't have short drives in the second half. That INT I'll chaulk up to a fluke day. My confidence is growing with Allen. Loving the hurry up. I think next year we could be serious contenders. This year, I think winning a playoff game is realistic. Likely play Colts/Houston if we are the 5th seed. That's a winnable game for this team. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CSBill Posted November 24, 2019 Share Posted November 24, 2019 We are becoming a very capable offense--time together for 9 new starters makes a big difference. The one thing that most needs to improve are the senseless penalties. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
