Patrick Duffy Posted January 2, 2022 Share Posted January 2, 2022 2 minutes ago, Lieutenant Aldo Raine said: Despite the fumble, what’s the deal with Stevenson on kick returns? It’s almost like he is running so fast initially that he’s running into the back of his blockers before they can set up their blocks. Feel he needs to be a little more patient then hit the jets. Looks like he runs into a waiting defender also to get "boom shocka locka-ed" with a big time hit 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s what great teams do. and the Bills have proven it this year when Tre went down, Cody Ford, the covid mess, our resilient Bills carried forward Next Man Up......,....the names are like Kumerow and McKenzie and Taron Johnson ...Good tidings Indeed. and today Harry brought his best game to the table. Im so proud of my team!~!~!!!! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hapless Bills Fan Posted January 2, 2022 Share Posted January 2, 2022 40 minutes ago, Buddo said: Regarding McKenzie and Stevenson, the big difference is that Stevenson is a rookie, and McKenzie isn't. Don't forget, Stevenson didn't drop the football untouched - his mistake really, was not to call for a fair catch, as the defender was going to be on him. Didnt he return for 12 yds before he fumbled? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Blitz Posted January 2, 2022 Share Posted January 2, 2022 Only 1 throw to the RBs today. Makes no sense. I don't know what the plan was at the start. It looked like "we'll figure it out as we go." Luckily they did. After 4 mistakes. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beasley got knocked off his route and then stopped. If he keeps running it's a completion. Of Allen's 3 INT's today only 1 is on Allen - the goofy hero ball throw into the end zone. One thing that bothered me a bit is that our WR's aren't built for a slippery, snow covered field. They looked tentative running their patterns and the lack of size takes away the WR screen where we don't have the type of WR's that break tackles or make blocks at the point of attack. Atlanta had success with that kind of pass today. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CincyBillsFan Posted January 2, 2022 Share Posted January 2, 2022 1 hour ago, D. L. Hot-Flamethrower said: Serious question. Did the all the passes early setup the running success later, or was the defense overplaying the pass right from beginning and we should have been running instead of throwing every down? The passes definitely helped set up the run. Also as bad as Allen was throwing the ball today he put on a clinic on how to run the read option. Allen and Singleterry combined for nearly 200 rushing yards and 4 TD's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't know if McK would have done better at KR or not today, but I was nervous each time Stevenson touched the ball. With the slippery conditions I suppose i would have been nervous with McK also though... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CincyBillsFan Posted January 2, 2022 Share Posted January 2, 2022 1 hour ago, Miyagi-Do Karate said: Am I the only one who thought Josh played a great game? Two tipped ball picks are what they are. The overthrow pick was not good. But he was also throwing some darts, and converting a lot of 3rd and longs. Weirdly enough, even with a bad passer rating, he was throwing the ball well, IMO. I think with Allen the stats are never going to tell the whole story. This is like Farve back in the day and Jackson today. Consider the following: after throwing 3 INT's in 4 passes and seeing the Bills go from a red zone possession leading 14 - 5 to Atlanta leading 15 - 14 early in the 3rd quarter Allen had every reason to be rattled. Instead, taking the ball at the 20 yard line Allen leads the Bills on an 80 yard TD drive using his legs and arms and then converts the 2 pt conversion to take a one TD lead. On their next possession he leads the Bills on another long drive to go up by 2 TD's and effectively end the game. That's big boy football on a cold, snowy and blustery day. 14 4 4 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miyagi-Do Karate Posted January 2, 2022 Share Posted January 2, 2022 I have re-watched the 4th and 1 josh Allen conversion today a few times. It was the read option to McKenzie where Josh pulled it back. I know Josh felt like he needed to convert that himself. But if he hands that ball off to MCK, McK scores a TD. A really well designed play. Not to nitpick— but that was a clever play call, and would like to see that run again down the road but with Josh trusting McK on that. 3 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was a serious wipe out on the ice.

I repeat: Allen’s performance today really defines the difference between being a quarterback and being a passer. Too many of us let the position be defined by the latter when it’s so much more than that. Edited January 2, 2022 by K-9 4 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
