100%, hopefully it's something that comes with more experience with playing with Allen and getting used to tendencies.

The only negative besides the Turnovers by Josh was he looked slower running this year. Maybe its just me but he didn't seem like he had the same burst or maybe the Rams have a faster than average defense. Not a complaint but something I think I observed.

He'll have to unlearn all his bad habits from being with the Jets.

It was what we were all hoping from Epenesa, Rousseau and Basham.

 

They all played magnificent.

A lot to be excited about from the game last night. Personally, my favorite aspects were (1) how the defensive line played against the run and (2) the sustained pressure the Dline applied throughout the game. The best (and most complete) I have seen that Dline play in a long time.

Haven't read thru this so I don't no if it's been mentioned or not but MJD absolutely embarrassed himself on the NFLN post-game show. Constantly whining about how the Bills just took what the Rams gave them and more or less did nothing special. I know he works for the Rams but if he can't come on national TV and give professional, objective analysis after a beat-down like that, then he should stick to his team duties and shouldn't be allowed on the air. He was talking shite before the game and continued afterwards but Michael Robinson and Steve Smith were taking him to task and inciting the mostly Bills crowd behind them. 😂 

 

Yes, the Rams kept giving us touchdowns and we kept taking them.

Both of those were more on the WRs than Josh. The INT on the pass to McKenzie was 💯 on L'il Dirty. That was inexcusable.

I'm confident that the WR is still Ramsey's responsibility there. Even if he's blocking, he needs to stay on his man. Hopefully someone who can diagnose man vs zone will let me know if this was a zone from 2 high, or a quarters look with the safety rotating down to put 8 in the box, leaving a cover 1 backend with the CBs having man responsibilities.

Oh Ramsey wanted to light Josh up he knows his quote and he knows it makes him look like an idiot

That Josh Allen stiff arm is absolutely going to make Angry Runs.

 

Check out this interview of the guy he stiff armed.

He looks like he's been in a dang brawl.

DaQuan Jones, Jordan Phillips, Tim Settle  is a HUGE upgrade from Star L, Harrison Phillips, Vernon Butler. 

All 3 are significantly better at Run D and Pass Rush 

Looking forward to next weeks game.  Tannehill doesn’t strike me as a huge threat to run.  Feel he doesn’t stand strong against good rush and gets unnerved.  Add the crowd, and feel we can control him.

 

Can’t wait to see how our new look D does with henry.  Ought to be a good matchup.

His body language when the reporter mentioned Josh Allen looked like when they mention Deebo in the movie Friday.

5 billion dollar stadium and they spent no money on the locker rooms.  Looks like they went to Walmart and bought some particle board shelves.

I think they misdiagnosed it twice: first as a run to the L.  Totally sold on that.  Second as a Josh Allen run to the R they needed to contain, but for sure someone had to stay on Davis there. 

 

That's the horror of trying to defend Josh Allen:

1. you got a guy who can easily truck one defender if he tucks it and runs, so you need to keep more than one defender to contain

2. usually when the QB is running full tilt with defenders in his face, you don't have to worry so much about dimes downfield but Josh can sling it on the run

 

Pretty sure Ramsey was doing what he was supposed to if they saw Allen breaking the pocket with an otherwise clear rush lane, but yeah, would be interesting to see the rest of the play and understand where the coverage broke down to leave Davis that wide open.

 

Edit: OK, from re-watching that clip, the Rams TOTALLY bit on that as a run to the left with Gilliam pulling for Moss.  Freeze it about 3 seconds in.  The Bills are in (2,2) with Davis as the only WR.  Watch where the safety is looking. He is totally sold on the run and not paying attention to Davis until it's too late.

yeah that looked like a mental lapse where he put his arms out to brace for impact, coughing up the ball.

That’s pretty normal for visiting locker rooms. Teams want them to be uncomfortable.

If this team stays healthy, they will be asking if this is one of the best teams ever by the end of the year.

And the best part. this is only the beginning of domination by the bills for years to come.

Go Bills

We were already down 2 of our best players in Oliver and White. 
 

Week 1 doesn’t tell the story of the regular season but the Bills are a machine.

The WR would still be Ramsey’s responsibility, but typically when the man you are covering blocks down like that - it becomes the responsibility of the CB to fill as outside contain as a rotation to protect. 
 

Essentially the DE/LB that had outside contain switches responsibility with the CB to maintain leverage.  That puts the CB in a very difficult position because if he stays off the line to protect against Davis releasing- that gives Josh a very soft edge to easily run and pick up big yards, but if he attacks the QB - it leaves Davis free behind him.

 

I do not fault Ramsey for that play as it is designed 100% to put that 1 player in a no win position and by attacking Josh - you at least hope to pressure and maybe get an errant throw, but it lead to the easiest TD the Bills will have all season.

 

The hope from the defensive side is the safety does not bite as hard and can get back over the top to limit the play, but the Bills had success running that play multiple times and everyone had to bite.

Star & Butler aren't on any rosters.  Same for D. Williams.  Upgrades on both sides of the line.

According to Singletary, Josh got up laughing after the stiff arm.  Just heard Sal say, “that is Josh being competitive”.  
 

Stop being a homer Sal, if that was an opposing teams QB, he would be ripping him to shreds for showboating, and not respecting his opponent.

I disagree. I think Josh is like a big kid out there, having fun while he's playing.

Favre was the same way. I also remember watching a mic'd up video of Marshawn Lynch from his rookie season where he's laughing hysterically on basically every play.

It's a game. Games are supposed to be fun.

He was laughing and smiling through the whole game, after every run. He was loose and having fun. All there is to it.

Yes. That sounds about right because I remember mentioning to my wife at about 11:10pm that it was nice the game didnt run too late, as it was already over
