First impression is this...

 

Something like 3 out of 4 play calls last week were pass plays - despite the fact we couldn't protect Josh.


Today was nearly 50-50.  

 

This week's balance made us more unpredictable and harder to defend.

You’d have to do analysis on when those runs came and how successful they were. 
 

It’s hard to keep calling runs when they don’t work. It’s easy to call them when you have a gigantic lead and you’re getting 5 YPC

Todays game shows they can execute.  Allen was patient and he took what they gave, and he still threw some special darts for TDs.  He just has to remember not to revert to impatience.  All phases were good and there were many contributors.  
 

I think and hope that last week was just a combination of playing a  good defense and some preseason rust that was not knocked off yet.

How? Commanders are one of the worst teams in the league. Dolphins will be a fair barometer to see just how far the Bills have fallen behind them. 

Speaking of which, your team is on in 50 minutes. Shouldn’t you be pre gaming with the other Fins fans?

I bet Josh shows her the town tonight - Niagara Falls then Anchor Bar then maybe Dave and Busters

Dorsey did nothing different last week than he did this week.  Last week Allen lost that game not Dorsey. 

I disagree.

 

Majority was on Josh for sure.

 

But… minimal play action. Went away from the run game. Shot gun essentially all game long.

 

Sure he had check downs and underneath stuff that Josh didn’t take, but that’s just one part of a game plan/play calling.

First possession by LV and I thought we were in for a long season.  Let them score so quickly on long plays.

 

Buckled down, Josh had a hell of a game and Cook played very well.  What a great win!!

The scripted drive by LV was perfect, we go 3 and out, it was building against us. The pressure by Jones, tip by Rousseau and Bernard’s pick flipped the script and woke everyone up. After that they were in solid control.

IF Josh can play with that mentality, and patience from now on... damn.  

i think its so frustrating, because its even the easier/simpler thing to do, with more reliable results.

 

kinda like studying an hour/day for 5 days, versus a 5hr cram session. its going to turn out better, give more consistent predictable results, and AT THE END OF THE DAY, IS THE SIMPLER TASK.

 

that aid i am not doing laundry nor dishes tonight lol power clean later this week

Jacobs is the real deal too. Really an amazing bounce back performance by our D. 

 

Except for that blown alignment that sprung Hall for that long gainer the run defense vs the Jets was not shabby.

 

If you take that 80+ yard outlier out if the equation we were keeping them to around 3 yards a carry.

 

Still good that they took those mistakes to heart and had a shutdown performance.

Even in this game a lot of runs were getting 2 yards, especially on early downs it felt like. They stuck with it, which is smart IMO.

 

It does a few things even if it isn’t productive:

- Defensive line can’t just pin back their ears and rush Allen, they have to respect the run. We ran at Crosby.

- Play action even more effective

- Time of possession battle. Maybe less important against Jimmy G, but against great offenses we may want to shorten the game and give them less possessions.

- Wear down the defense late in the game. No way the Raiders weren’t sucking air at the end there.

I agree ostensibly, but they were much better rushing this week than last week, which makes it way easier to stick with it. 
 

2nd and 7 or 2nd and 4 is a lot easier to rush on than 2nd and 12.
