So let it be written....so let it be done.

 

My 3 Bold Predictions for today:

 

1. Motor and Breida combine for 150 yards and 2 TD.

 

2. Moss will be inactive. Kumerow will suit up again.

 

3. Allen throws 1st Red Zone INT late on the 2nd quarter. Allen rebounds by tossing 4 TDs today.

 

Or Stevenson,agree on the Moss part, could see it going either way though on who steps in.  Maybe Kumerow only for ST.  Need someone to fall on the ball if McKenzie fumbles

Did Stevenson even get moved to the active roster? I know his practice window was opened but I didn't think he was back yet.

I’m in the belief that the Bills get it together today and quiet down a lot of people. I think this is more likely than another let down. 

I agree, bro.

 

i’m not saying it will be easy, but if we win the next two games, we’re back in first place at 8-4.

 

We’d essentially hold a two game lead over the patriots because we’d have the tiebreaker due to a better division record. If they lose to the Titans this weekend that would be a three game lead.

 

It would make the past month somewhat seem like a distant memory. Just get back on track starting tonight!

Who's hammered already? 

Haven't had a drop of alcohol so far.

 

I usually never drink during a Bills game!  I enjoy them too much to be a little buzzed while watching.

 

But I may have a couple fingers of a good single malt with the game tonight; I'm in the mood for that!

If the Bills lose to the Saints practice squad the season is over. Maybe not from a standings perspective but it would be the final confirmation that this team is nowhere near ready to win a super bowl. Luckily I don't think that will happen.

 

Heres to hoping this is our get right game, and that we can then get back to full health for the Patriots.

 

This will be the start of a hot run to end the season and into the playoffs. Crush em.

Upcoming game against NE will be HUGE.  Should be fun and I hope it's a really close, exciting game---that we win.

Yup, I agree.

 

Just said above that if we can win the next two and get to 8-4, it could make the past month start to seem like a distant memory.

 

LET’S GO BUFFALO!!!

That's correct, he's activated for return, but he has not yet been activated to the roster.

 

I *think* a player has to practice a certain number of times coming off IR before he can be activated, and I'm not sure walkthroughs count.

Details details!  Supposedly he was on the plane to NO so they must be considering it.  Either that or he wanted to get a  free trip home for Thanksgiving.

If not this game, then next.  I think "Speedy" is an upgrade on McKenzie in the return game and allows us to use isaih more on O

I'm kind of in the same mindset as I was before the Jags game - even if we win this one it doesn't really prove much considering who we're facing (no disrespect to the Saints but they've been shredded by injuries). However, we then lost to the Jags so we better turn up and take it seriously.

Just watched the hard knocks.   That sucked.   Gotta love Frank though.  This team needs to get their groove back.   Hope they can….needs to start today.  

Yeah it was a tough watch, but also interesting seeing some of the behind the scenes details and it was cool to see Frank Reich eating at Chef’s with Bruce Smith and Steve Tasker.

 

It sucked hearing Reich’s post game speech about “total domination in all 3 phases” (but he was right).

 

Also wasn’t crazy about hearing that D line coach (or whoever it was) saying that if they force Allen to be a pocket passer they win the game. I hope Allen uses that as billboard material.

That is what teams have done with Allen, it works sometimes but now all the time.   If the pass pro can hold up he has been successful from the pocket but keeping him in their is your first step for sure.   
 

I found a lot of the interactions to be interesting for sure.

I feel that Allen seems more reluctant to run these days.  It may be coaching, he may be being "coached hard" that the Bills don't want the $258M man putting himself at risk so much.

 

I'm surprised when I look at the stats, and see that  his Y/A and Y/G are up compared to the previous two seasons and his attempts/game are down only fractionally (6.1 vs 6.4):

I think other teams believe that if they can get the Bills in 3rd and long and clamp down on the passing game past the sticks AND keep Allen in the pocket, they've got us.

I don't think that comment about making Allen a pocket passer was a slight at Josh as much as they knew if they can keep him in the pocket, they could collapse it up the middle with our weak guard play. He was right on.

I’m with ya man. He’s apparently getting the most per game since his rookie season but somehow it doesn’t feel like it at all.

Allen gotta be a little more precise with ball placement. And with that - we need to be able to hit WR on the run for YAC. We just run stick and hook routes or bombs.

You see routes where you can really get run after the catch when defenses are in man to man or zone when they rush 5 or more. When they are playing against zone with 7 or more in coverage, you will get more sit in the hole routes that typically get tackled shortly after. Look at the difference between Jets and Indy game for Man vs. Zone defense results.

no. watch tampa. brady still hitting guys on the run with 2 deep shell zone. Even still allen ball placement isnt precise enough.
