Predict the Bills 1st offensive play. Win VALUABLE PRIZES!!

[BuffaloBillyG]

Bragging rights. That's the valuable prize. 

 

I believe the Bills will come out in their "11.5 formation". Diggs, Davis on the outside. Kincaid in the slot. 

 

First play will be a slant to Dalton Kincaid for 6 yards. Nothing fancy. Safe completion to get Josh in a rhythm. This also gets the rookie involved early and gets him going. 

 

What say you?

 

 

[richNjoisy]

I will be shocked if it's a run, so I agree with you there. As to whom they throw to? Diggs!

[Low Positive]

I’ve just been informed that having positive opinions about the Bills is ignorance, so in my new effort to be a well-informed citizen of TBD this is my prediction.

 

Lazy, golf-obsessed, Josh Allen heaves a long pass to Diggs along the left sideline. Diggs, who spent the night before in his hotel room with multiple strippers, is too hung over and loses sight of the ball. Sauce picks it off and returns it for the TD. This starts a miserable 6-11 season and half of TBD is ecstatic to be proven right on the Internet which we all know is the ultimate life goal.

[CSBill]

Slant to Diggs -- right side. Gain of 12 yards.

[Since1981]

Knox 7 yds

[scuba guy]

False start 5 yard penalty 😒 

[Your Brown Eye]

Fake 23 blast with a back-side George reverse

[RiotAct]

Fumbled snap, recovered by Josh.  Play goes for -2 yards.

[fergie's ire]

I have been thinking about this, since I knew it would come up.  I had pretty much decided on that quick slant to Kincaid that we saw a lot in pre-season, and I was only a bit more optimistic than you.  I was thinking 8 yard gain.  But....since you picked that....I will go with one of my other two choices.  One is a fake handoff to Cook, only to set up a middle screen to Cook.  I saw them run this at least once in pre-season and it would be a good play to help slow down the interior rush.  The other is Kincaid in motion and at the snap he seals the end, allowing Cook to run wide.  I think I'm going to go with the middle screen....for 17 yards.

[Drew21PA]

Have to agree it’s going to be a pass - short gainer 5-7 yards - won’t be Diggs

 

possibly to Shakir?  Whomever is slot 2-3 option 

[boyst]

James cook run and fumble.  🤣

[JohnBonhamRocks]

Play action pass to Gabe “El Capitan” Davis over the middle for 8 yards.

[frostbitmic]

James Cook run to the right side for 14 yards as he finds lots of room behind Torrence and Brown.

I’m thinking a play action pass to Davis on the right sideline for 6.

I am going with the boring prediction - handoff to Cook for 4 yards

[LabattBlue]

Triple reverse and Kincaid ends up tossing a 75 yd TD to Allen who on his way to the end zone hurdles two guys and breaks the tackle of 5 others.

[buffaloboyinATL]

Handoff to James Cook for a 6 yard gain.

Like our lives depended on it.  Looks like Brown Eye saw this for Labor Day weekend…

 

 

“Coach McD (Micah Hyde and Poyer in tandem), we’ve walked onto this field perfect, and if it’s all the same to you, we as a team would like to leave that way!”

GO BILLS!!!

I think the winner should get Kair Elam's notebook

2 TE set with Knox in the backfield with Cook. Diggs motions left. Play action, Allen looking left , looking right. Great protection, And Dumps it off to Knox for about an 8 yard gain. And they're going hurry up

[Airseven]

Quick out to Diggs. Incomplete.

[phypon]

If they get the ball to start the game, 25+ yarder to Gabe.

 

if they get the ball after the jets, less than ten yards to kincaid.  A good, solid play to start their drive.

[Draconator]

Josh runs to the Jets sideline, 8 yards, but keeps on running and leaps over Aaron, welcoming him to the AFC East

[HOUSE]

Josh is not throwing to a rookie on the first play, Diggs would be pissed

4 yard run by Damian Harris

Wow, that’s so surprising coming from you 

[TheWei44]

Either handoff to Harris for decent yardage but nothing huge or play-action pass (with Harris in backfield) to Kincaid for 8-10 yards.

I'll see that offer and say:

 

Start Matt Cassell at QB with Tyrod Taylor at WR!

 

We did this for our first play under Rex Ryan in 2015.

[Gary Marangi]

Shotgun draw to Cook for3 yds

[K-9]

Double end around reverse option pass to a wide open tackle eligible Dion Dawkins. 
 

Either that or spider 2 Y banana.

[Rockinon]

Quick pass to Kincaid, but instead of over the middle, he acts like that is what he'll do, but instead breaks toward the sideline. Josh hits him in stride and he turns it up-field for a nice gain.

[boyst]

 This is the play.

[stlbills13]

72 yard td to Harty. First person the camera shows is Aaron Rodgers. 

[TheWeatherMan]

Seam route to Kincaid for 14 yards.
