There were some positives this game

Jets won the battle, but lost the war.....don't see them going very far with Wilson at the helm.

 

I went into this game thinking it was a 50/50 game at best.....the fact that the Bills lost because of Josh Allen is the only concerning part of the loss.

 

I hope this game was an anomaly for Josh, and he can put this game in the rear view mirror as soon as possible.

 

I believe that he will.

 

Go Bills.

What game did you watch ? Cook and the run game were awful. 

 

If you told me before the game started that we held the Jets QB to 14/21 for 140 yards with 1 TD and 1 INT i'd be pretty happy. 

 

If you told me that QB was Zach Wilson instead of Aaron Rodgers I'd be less than impressed.  

 

 

 

Agreed that Groot and Floyd looked good. You didn't mention Milano, but he was a monster tonight 

Cook was allover the field catching and running it. Would’ve had a receiving TD too if Allen knew how to lead his receiver correctly. You must be looking at the stat line bc I saw a guy was churning out tough yards and keeping us out of 3rd and longs.

Cook has a shot at a TD on that play if Allen places a perfect throw, but he was far from open.

 

When did Cook make a defender miss a tackle? At any point during the night ? I'm not blaming him for the negative plays (idk why so many on here give our O-line a pass) but Cook never made a guy miss either. 

 

Looked like a JAG out there

Milano was excellent but I wonder if the taunting penalty could have cost the Bills a TD.   Would have had a much shorter field.   Stupid play. 

The Bills clock management after the 2 minute warning cost the Bills a touchdown.

I'd add Ed Oliver was outstanding 2nd half. He was pretty invisible firdt half and people in thr GDT were happily calling him out. Second half he was excellent. No coincidence that the touchdown drive was with the 2nd team DL in - Shaq, Settle, Phillips, AJE. I think they rotated the line less last night but the one drive the backups were out there... it showed.

I’m not seeing the run game love unless I’m a Jets fan

For some reason Buck kept saying he was fantastic all night….. didn’t see any of that. The Bills just keep forcing him the ball… and Allen lucked completely flustered.

Color me surprised that Buck even got his name right

Yeah I like this thread a lot

 

Pass rush I was happy with

 

floyd is the man!!!  Love that pick up and completely forgot about him till the first sack!

 

my boy MATT MILANO!!!  Yet some feel on this board he isn’t a STUD!!!  
 

tre whiffed on a run tackle but was Wilson ever quiet?  (Well until the acrobatic TD grab that Tre had PERFECT coverage on.  Way the ball bounces sometimes)

 

Offense I LOVE the two tight end combos man!  Holy smokes that’s going to be fun to watch develop !

 

Kincaid is an animal and I was thinking to myself - “they add another 15-20 pounds I’d muscle on that frame look out!

 

dawson just balling as ever!

 

Diggs - my man is just amazing !

 

I hate to say it but I had this an L

 

just a lot of hype and that defense of the jets is for real yet?  We should have smashed them if Allen doesn’t puke on himself 

 

learn (LEARN) and move on.  Week one 

 

chiefs - loss

Bengals - loss

Bills - loss

 

no changing of the guard in the afc East not happening

Can't evaluate the secondary with Rodgers going down, but the Bills pass rush looked good. Torrence looked solid.

I thought the kid looked great as well (Torrence)

The D-line played fast and nasty. Rousseau is the real deal and Floyd looks like a great pick up putting up 1.5 sacks. 
 

Cook had his best game as a Bill and the run game was very effective. Too bad Allen couldn’t hit the side of a barn. 
 

Diggs came to play as always posting 102 yards and a TD. I love this guy and he will always be one of my favorites. The way he calmed Josh Allen down and got his head together at least enough to tie up the game was great leadership. 
 

Run defense sucked, but the pass defense played great, but is that really a surprise? Tre White whiffed horribly on that 80 something yard Breece Hall run, but had a good game all in all. You can’t really pin that Garrett Wilson bobbled catch on him.

 

Just trying to keep myself off Bills fan suicide watch. If anyone can think of any GOOD takeaways post them here. Need happy thoughts 

Sincerely here not trolling.

The runback is a feel-good moment except the Bills were the victims of it.

 

If you can, watch how good Gipson's runback was. It's almost unbelievable.

 

Undrafted rookie in his first ever NFL game, with the game on the line, reads everything perfectly, uses patience and judgement, waits for his blockers, picks his slots, & scores for his team that just suffered the devastating loss of Aaron Rodgers. Wins the game & uplifts the whole team.

 

You won't see something like this happen often.

Horrible for us but still that was amazing.

-Floyd & Rousseau look like a PROBLEM off the edge.

 

-Milano still looks like an All-Pro, even without Edmunds next to him

 

-Diggs is still a Top 5 WR

 

-Kincaid looked good and should be involved more

 

Hard to really gauge much more given how great the Jets Defense is, combined with the fact they historically hold down Josh Allen and Aaron Rodgers going down early thus not really able to see how our secondary performs against an upper tier passing attack.

Cook had his best game as a Bill and the run game was very effective. Too bad Allen couldn’t hit the side of a barn.  DISAGREE: Cook still had a bad game, if this is his "best."  Can't break a tackle, and can't run people over (no suprise, but why is Daboll running him up the middle).  
 

Diggs came to play as always posting 102 yards and a TD. I love this guy and he will always be one of my favorites. The way he calmed Josh Allen down and got his head together at least enough to tie up the game was great leadership. AGREE: Diggs is hands-down the best player on this team.  
 

Run defense sucked, but the pass defense played great, but is that really a surprise? Tre White whiffed horribly on that 80 something yard Breece Hall run, but had a good game all in all. You can’t really pin that Garrett Wilson bobbled catch on him.  DISAGREE/AGREE.  Agree run D sucked, that's a huge issue.  Tre is not an all-pro.  You can't wif on a huge run and let Wilson abuse you.  Shutdown corners, shutdown oppossing players.

Defense was great.  This is why I am not gonna bash the coaching due to Josh's plummeting intelligence.  Horrible turnovers, idiotic running, no leadership. 

 

McD: Great DC, terrible HC.

these "amazing" "feel good" things seem to happen to us at an alarming clip in the McD era.

-Diggs is still a Top 5 WR  Diggs is the best WR.  and team MVP.  

 

-Kincaid looked good and should be involved more  Yep, but Dorsey won't involve him and/or JA won't throw to him unless he is triple teamed 20 yards down field.

Negatives:

  1. Josh Allen regressed, threw 3 INTs, dropped one, had wild eyes, was sacked a bunch despite low pressures, and looked rough overall
  2. OT issue #1 - the run play on 3-15 was a bad call 
  3. OT issue #2 - Special teams allowing a punt return TD in OT

Positives:

  1. Allen admitted he lost the game - we have no reason to believe it wasn't a fluke
  2. Allen was pressured less than average compared to other games in Week 1
  3. D line pressured all night long - We bitched about QB pressures last year and the D under new management delivered
  4. Secondary played well (the one TD was a monster catch)
  5. Bass
  6. Diggs - 102 yards / 1 TD
  7. Our TEs
  8. Good offensive mix
  9. Milano's a stud
  10. We are the most balanced team in the AFCE - The Dolphins D looks mighty thin despite some mega talent on O and the Jets are now without their star
  11. My wings last night were awesome, it's football season once again, and fall weather is around the corner

The posts on this board are redonkulous. Simmer down and enjoy the ride.
