Mike White says he's better than Josh Allen.

Mike White RIPS Josh Allen! Says HE'S BEEN BETTER so far than his 2018 mate: "I should have been a first overall pick"

Context here. Every qb that is drafted thinks that. 

 

He's off to a semi hot start so he's got a chip on his shoulder and has the ability to say so. 

 

At no point did he rip allen, he just said he thought he was a 1st rd pick.

Edmunds out for sunday. 

I like Klein more for blitzing and White is going to catch a face full of Klein’s spittle/sweat this Sunday.

Klein is a kamikaze.  He’s the right guy to make White blow out some brown.

I think the first 2 offensive drives are going to go a long way in determining our offensive success or not. If the Jets are able to blow up Josh with a free rusher or turnstile guard doing the o-lay! As a DT blows by him right out of the gate, we are in trouble. I think Josh is at a precarious position right now and if his trust in this line isn’t gone yet it’s hanging by a thread. If he gets hassled consistently during that first drive his clock is going to be ticking real fast and we will see similar issues as last week. I don’t care if we have to max protect, get Josh into a rhythm with easy throws right off the bat. Knowing Daboll, he will probably open up with 4 deep wr’s on 5 second patterns. 

 

Yeah I’m still pissed at this O-line

The bolded is in large part how I see things...in that I watch opposing offenses run motions and play-actions and bootlegs and half-field reads (not to mention simple slants and swings) to get their QBs in rhythm and to get ahead of the chains on early downs.

 

Yet it just doesn't seem like the Bills have been scheming those kinds of QB-friendly plays on early downs, despite the OL struggles. 

 

Daboll needs to script an opening sequence of plays that gets Allen and the entire offense going. Get Diggs involved (the way we did last season when they needed a spark), get the pocket moving, get people in motion, and get the damned ball out of Allen's hands. Let his playmakers carry the load for a change (and I don't mean with WR screens against press-man).

I hope we pick a RB and give the guy 15-20 carries. I want to see an actual attempt at creating some sort of balance. It’s only going to make josh and our passing game more dangerous. Keeping defenses honest. Enough of the splitting time, enough of not committing to making it work. Get the FB and TEs on the field, let one of these backs get into a groove. Stop taking them out every other drive. Create balance on offense and we become (by far) the most complete team in football.

The Titans look like the best team in the AFC.  Who did they lose to?  The Jets.  Teams have bad games.  Buffalo had probably their worst loss under Mcdermott.  They will be focused and on offense more balanced.  Buffalo wins.  34-10.    Mike White’s cinderella story gets to midnight pretty quick tomorrow.

I'm definitely worried about both. It would seem like the coaching staff agrees with me. /shrug

 

EDIT and DISLIKE to you too sir LOL

Ugh... they shouldn't have to gameplan for the refs.

 

I can't wait until the XFL starts up again, to see how refereeing should be done...

Funny, but true.

 

Since I moved down to Belize this summer, I have watched a lot of CFL football. We get Canadian TV down here. The officiating, while not perfect, is a breath of fresh air. The way they handle replay, the decisive and consistent calling of penalties, and the general lack of game-stopping flags is absolutely great!

 

The other benefit of getting CTV Toronto down here, is that every Bills game is on here, without having to pay for Sunday Friggin Ticket.

Hopefully he sits. I’m eager to see a change in how the unit is run and even though I think Moss would be the better option I was looking forward to seeing Singletary get more touches and hopefully get into more of a rhythm.

I expect Buffalo to play with a massive chip on their shoulder and drop 40 on these fools. Last week will serve as the turning point for this season. 

God I hope you’re right

Good.  Let's still see what Breida's got.


Id like to see Moss/Breida as our backs.  
 

Breida on 1st/2nd down and Moss as the 3rd down/short yardage back.   
 

Ive come to terms with that never happening, but a man can dream.

Is it bad that I wish he wasn't quite yet?

 

Yeah, it really is.  Never wish someone lasting concussion symptoms.

I think Singletary》》》Moss but Moss generally seems to get the more consequential snaps.

 

So Moss gets more YAC than Singletary (click to embiggen) and breaks more tackles than Singletary:

I'm not sure what you mean by "more consequential snaps", but if you mean "gets the ball when we need 2 yards", well.....

 

Moss has also gotten more YAC as a receiver.

Plus if Moss were out it would force Daboll's hand to put Breida in on O for a good number of plays 

 

I'm not sure anything but McDermott pinning him would force Daboll's hand, but have you considered that possibly, Breida is not the solution he's deemed to be by so many here?  Perhaps there's a reason he hasn't been able to see the field..... he didn't in Miami, and SF moved on from him.

I personally believe Singletary is the best back on our team.  He is certainly the most "explosive" and it would be even more lopsided had not a lot of his big runs been called back.

I'd like to see Breida active even WITH Moss clearing protocol. Activate all three backs. Kumerow going on IR means his special teams snaps are up for grabs. I could be mistaken, but Breida played quite a few special teams snaps in the games in which he was active. 

Activate and use all three backs, says I.

The first part of this I've been saying for 2 years.   Let both the oline and 1 RB get unto a rhythm.

But yet Singletary has been more productive on less carries....


I’m not sure who the better back is at this point and feel it’s really hard to judge with their snap counts and situations used. Devin seems to get more yards per carry but gets no attempts in the red zone where plays are more condensed. That’s tough running that they heavily rely on Moss for…. Like I said, I was looking forward to one guy getting more carries this week. The rotation they have is just not working. If Devin could get back to the way he played in his rookie year I think this board would be pretty satisfied, it’s possible he just needs carries.  Everyone talks about giving Allen attempts early to get in rhythm, what about the running backs who carry the ball less then 10 times a game? In close games it’s less then that, their attempts are blown up because of a few blowouts.

How can you not be worried about the running game? It’s absolutely abysmal and the lack of it is why we can’t get teams out of the cover-2 shell. We can’t even run against light boxes. If this team can’t run the ball effectively without counting on JA to do the bulk of it, we aren’t going far in the playoffs.

They went to the AFC championship last year doing just that. If they struggle in mid December-Jan then I will worry.

Breida has barely been given a chance and Moss is excellent in pass pro/receiving out of the back field.  
 

Singletary could be good behind a better OL, but he just isn’t what we need.
