Week 16: Bills at Pats on MNF

Recommended Posts

We haven’t won anything yet but the division. All that ensures is a home playoff game, that’s it. All this talk about setting 15 different records, throwing to a dozen different players getting up by 50 and resting Josh for the second half is a bit premature.

 

It’s a division game. As lopsided as it looks like it should be, that doesn’t mean a thing.

 

We need to come out with a W #1, and healthy #2. Anything more than that is just gravy. 

 

Stay humble and hungry

I just can't say enough about the performance of Josh the last month...  every game he gets better and better..   the Denver game was outstanding...   this dude is on a course that has him the best QB the bills have ever seen..  I watched the bills in the 90 they were damn good... Kelly was a great but the stuff Allen has been doing recently is next level stuff....  Kelly had a cannon for an arm as well, but it's not in Allen neighborhood...   the thing that is most impressive is the mental part of the game, he seem so much more calm in the pocket and waiting for receivers to hit the next opening is fantastic stuff. 

 

 looking forward to seeing how far he has progressed since the first meeting with the pats....  Hopefully they let me throw the ball more 25-30 times...   build a nice lead then run over them the rest of the game

One think I admired about Tyrod was his mobility and the ability to keep plays alive with his legs. I thought for certain we would lose that dimension when Josh came along. Wow Josh takes that mobility and pocket awareness to another level! Just mind blowing some of the situations he escapes from.

During the Denver game, Josh Allen was tripped and still made the first down by passing it to Diggs.

 

I told my two kids after that play that I used to dislike QBs that would do that against our defense.

 

Now we have a QB that does that to defenses. 🤣

I agree, old friend. Our oline, however, does not seem constructed to allow a proactive running attack, as it were. They're simply not good enough as run blockers to allow that to be a primary option. OTOH, they are quite good at pass protection. Once the pass game is clicking, the effectiveness of our run game increases. (At least, this is my sense of things.)

McD's process may not allow for "simply not good enough" in my humble opinion. Buffalo needs to be able to run the football at will because weather conditions at the Ralph may not allow a for a finesse passing attack IMO.  I understand where your coming from although up until the bye a high powered passing attack in most instances has not helped a sputtering run game. Myself personally, it had more to do with not getting the RB's enough involved in the O to get a feel for the playing surface.  How individuals on the Oline are blocking, or how the opposition is trying to defend them. It takes touches to get the motor going.( run or pass ) From the looks of it McD/Daboll are in the process of remedying the problem IMO.

 

So while I agree my friend, the pass does open up the run. I think the answer we are looking for is somewhere in the middle.

I see Roberts is not practicing.  Am I the only one that does not like Hyde back there on kick/Punt returns?  That safety tandem are way to important for the D.  Has to be someone else that can do return duty.


i am with you. Or if Hyde is back there on punts, he needs to be told to fair catch every time. 
 

I don’t know why they don’t try McKenzie back there, at least on punts. The other guy that seems like he could be decent is Kumerow. Not sure how fast he is— but something about him makes me think he is fast enough and strong to at least have some decent kick returns.
