for Tua, under 45 degrees means a road game, it’s tough to win on the road in the NFL.

 

 

Enjoy yourself while you can.  I have a feeling that your time is running out troll

If that snow forecast up-thread is accurate (5 inches tailgating, 8 inches by kickoff, another 4 in the game itself), this game is going to be TOTAL GARBAGE.

 

We'll win because we are the better team, but the score will be low and close and it will be like watching the Mickey Mouse Club all over again, as we did with that Indy Colts game a few years ago.

 

Just total garbage.

2-4 inches of snow during the game isn't TOTAL GARBAGE.

 

When I think total garbage, I think the Colts game.. I'd be quite ok never playing in that ever again with the team we now have.

How many inches snowed during the game in the Colts game?

 

Are you kidding? 2-4 inches in 2.5 hours means steady, accumulating snow all game long basically. 

 

Like enough that you can't see the field or yard markers.  And yes, that's total garbage.

 

No one will be able to actually play football.

 

Don't get me wrong, I know this is a divisive topic.  I remember the in-game thread for the Colts game here very clearly.  Very early on, the comments were split down the middle.  Half of everybody LOVED what was going on; the other half HATED IT.  I was in that latter group.

 

It's kind of fun and novel for about 5 minutes; then you realize it just sucks, and you aren't going to see a football game that day.

 

Thats my take on it at least.

EDIT:  I just googled that it was estimated 9 inches fell during the Colts game.  

 

The thing is, we are going to have like 8" on the ground before the game even starts and it will be accumulating the whole time.  It's not like it will arrive at 9am and they have all day to clean the field.

 

There will be snow on the field at kickoff--at least some.

Yes, agreed. Allen is the better QB and playmaker. 

 

 

My point is all the analysts have their little lists. 

 

You see it in the Power Rankings - the Bills "peaked too early" or they can't win "without Von". 

 

And now this guy saying that Herbert has eclipsed Allen. I say, go ahead, rank Allen 20th if that makes you feel good. Keep him at #25. I hope you're like Skip Bayless and hold on. Go ahead and continue to say Baker Mayfield is better. 

 

If you watch the games, you see Allen's playmaking carrying the Bills offense. 

 

 

 

 

The Chargers have more dynamic weapons than the Bills. Eckler, Allen, and Williams to name a few. Basically, the Bills have Diggs and who knows who from game to game. Add in the Bills Oline in not good either.

 

Agree that Josh is special. However, he's dialed it back for many games now. We haven't seen a Bills offense that's explosive and dangerous in many many games. In fact, it's pretty much the opposite. The offense has failed to close out games and teams repeatedly in recent games. I no longer see this offense as scary or dangerous. The Oline has trouble protecting Josh, the Bills run game is sporadic, the pass catchers are inconsistent with the exception of Diggs, and Dorsey is learning on the job.

 

I like the moves of getting Brown and Beasley because you have nothing to lose. However, these moves aren't a glaring endorsement of a well functioning offensive juggernaut.

 

I suspect from here on out the Bills will be in many close games. No more boat racing teams. Great thing is they are battle tested and able to win tight close games.

They have the equipment to plow the field before the game starts.  The field has to be ready 1.5 hours before kick off so teams can go out and do warm ups.

 

And I googled it as well and found 16" fell during the Colts game.

Yeah, Josh is terrible in cold weather. :rolleyes: By the way, it was 7 degrees this game.

And he was terrible this game as well. :rolleyes: Game time temp was around 32 degrees.

Wondering what the Bills game plan is for the Dolphins pass rush. I don't believe Spencer Brown can hold up well vs Phillips, Wilkins will create havoc because he's a beast, and the Dolphins like to blitz and bring pressure. 

 

The Bills coaches have to be prepared for their pass rush. Herbert was under duress all game. He was passing on the move often. Thinking it might be best to have Allen on the move rather than in the pocket. Maybe some quick screens and run the damn ball. 

 

Anyone have other ideas?

Instead of trying to block Wilkins, just grab him by the dick.

 

That the alpha thing to do, right?

I know.

 

Apparently it was just because they had the calibration setup wrong and it wasn't that much that came out of the turf.

 

Hopefully they learned from last month also.

The cold and snow should favor the defense and limit both offenses. I think that's a win for the Bills. It probably neutralizes the speed of Miami's dynamic duo of Wrs and Mosert. The Bills have very little speed weapons. 

 

The Bills defense is better the Miami's.

Well frankly that should have been done when there was 13 seconds left in a game.

Another win for the Bills is Allen can run in this stuff a lot better than Tua. I see Josh running a lot in this game, more than he usually does.
