There will be lot of “old Josh” talks, and above all, there will be lot of “we are pretenders, we can’t be any good team” talk. This will happen even if we lose shootout, and then whole focus will be on defense.

 

 

I'm not worried about Josh. Let's just hope he's the last one with the ball, and we're only down 8 max.

Peter King just said that Josh Allen looked like 2018 Josh Allen on Tuesday.

 

I’m going to bet a hefty sum that Peter King did not watch the game on Tuesday.

Greg Cosell pointed out that Josh struggled a bit with the zone (as has Mahomes at times) but "Josh Allen did not play poorly on Tuesday night"

(linked by @YoloinOhio in Week 6 thread)

 

Greg Cosell >>>>>>> Peter King for football knowledge, and No, Josh Allen did NOT look like 2018 Josh Allen.  Among other things, we would have had a hella lot more rushing yards if he did.

Spouses just have to understand what's important.  Order up Grubhub from her favorite restaurant, bring home a bunch of flowers, then park your butt at the tube.

Please God let White and Milano play effectively and not re-injure

I'm going to be guessing here, but I think Tre White and Brown will probably play and Milano will probably be out

This is such a lazy take (his, not yours).

 

I rewatched carefully each snap on offense incl. All 22. From his 27 completions (26 in stat sheet + TD to Davis taken back) all but one (Diggs short on right sideline) were spot on (ok maybe one other to Beasley was little low). Roberts INT was routine NFL catch. There were 3 clear drops (Diggs 2x, Knox) and two tough catches not made by Davis.

 

He made 5 "bad" throws by my count - INT, three forced deep throws to double coverage (Davis, Diggs, Jones) and one bad short pass to Diggs (that one could've been intercepted). He didn't take any unnecessary hits or sacks, he we elusive in pocket, he was decisive, didn't make any mistakes apart from INT and one other bad throw. Once or twice he missed open guy for shorter yardage.

 

That is not 2018 Josh Allen (whatever that means).

Is it just me or has Peter King had a hard -on for Josh Allen since the beginning. I mean didn't he say that he was the Bills weakness before the season or something like that. And, now you can argue the passing game is the only thing on the team that has played up to snuff. Jeez....Allen haters

I think it was a lazy take likely based on the interceptions and relative lack of points, and no two analysis of his play. Box score scouting.

Game Day prediction - Josh Allen will be so intent on wanting to beat Mahome's and the Chiefs that he will try too hard and make some mistakes that will prove to be costly to the Bills.

[gordong]

So what does everyone think ??   Tre, Milano and brown all play today?   

[Nester]

Let’s go bills!

 

west coast represent! I took the day off for this! 
lets hope it turns out better than Tuesday!

Between that and your prediction that the Defense will not be able to contain the Chiefs you are a real ray of sunshine. 

 

I think that maybe you tamp down your expectations so you don't get disappointed, like we did with a Leodis fumble or a Nick Fold field goal.  

 

I tend toward the optimistic but do believe that this iteration of the BB Defense will have a tough time tonight, but that doesn't translate to a loss.   

[416BillsFan]

You can tell the NFL is excited for this game when they plug it non-stop, and every 5th time they'll mention Dallas is playing afterwards.

Smarter X and O guys than me can answer this question... any chance Edmunds can mostly cover Kelce throughout the game? At least within 10-20 yards?

Even though he’s been playing bad Taron might see him the most. KC lines Kelce up everywhere so Edmunds isn’t splitting out wide to cover him.

Kelce is the best pass catching TE in the league. There's no such thing as covering him.

 

The Bills will likely give him a heavy dose of Milano (if he's ready to play) and probably some safety help. But nobody really shuts down Kelce. You just have to do your best to make sure he doesn't wreck everything.

 

In fact, the Chiefs have a few players like that...

[Penfield45]

if Brown Milano and White are all out again ...just move on to the Jets lol

I see you are already warming up for GDT!

 

How sad and quiet you'll be if we play good and god forbid win.

I'm just confused at the extent of their injuries 

 

Why are they in full practice during the week but now a doubt to play on the weekend? makes zero sense

my guess is Edmunds isn't even in the lineup tonight with the shoulder.. that guy needs to sit until he's healthy

They are listed as questionable. Yes, they practiced fully during the week, but that doesn't mean they are 100%. List them as questionable, because it is still entirely possible an injury gets reaggravated during warm ups or something. I think they will likely play, but still realize they are definitely not 100%

This is actually quite easy to explain: they’re getting better, but they may or may not be ready to play come game time, so the team works them into practice so that—if in fact they’re good to go—they’ll be prepared.

Maybe, but that’s not what you’re likely to see. Using him in man coverage just isn’t a great investment of his skill set. You lose his ability to occupy zones and be a threat as a blitzer.

Allen will need to outscore them; that is the only way.  2 in 5 chance of that happening.  but every game is a new thing,   huge shootout.  80+ pass attempts.  Turnovers probably decide it.  Who gets careless in the pass game.

If Josh throws more than 80 attempts, this game will still be on at midnight.

Look at SF. They get beat bad by Miami at home but come back a week later and beat the Rams. While Allen will have to make plays I really hope the Bills can get the running game going. If their was ever a week to control the clock this is it.

Agree ^^ 

I think our every possession on offense has to be productive and I don’t mean scoring on every drive , but at least a sustained drive and if we don’t score try to  pin them deep and make them drive the entire field to score , if we can score TD’s and make them kick field goals we might have a shot !!!

 

Go Bills !!! 
I believe !!!

They did away with the 'probable' designation a few seasons ago. If you've got an injury that you've received treatment for throughout the week, you're 'questionable' the same as someone who has been limited all week and actually 50-50 on playing. 

[thebandit27]

I gotta say: typically when the Bills lose I wake up game day morning with a sense of impending doom. Tuesday was the first time that’s happened this season, and we know how that worked out.

 

I definitely don’t have that today...it feels...odd. Like, I should be nervous about this one, and yet I have this calm confidence. I think we’re going to find a way.

 

Call it a win on a last-second, epic-long FG by Bass. No clue why I think that.

[Sherlock Holmes]

Ok, I'm going to need that Birthday victory today, Josh Allen... also need that game worn jersey afterwards @Tide!!!

Even they were all playing you would have found another reason to just move on to the jets .
