I hope @Freddie's Dead is okay. This is usually his thread right after the game. 

 

Thank you for the concern @GunnerBill, and thanks to @scuba guy for picking up the torch to open a Game Ball thread.  Spent the afternoon with my granddaughter at a farm with an autumn Halloween thing going on.  We had a blast!  Followed the scores on the phone and loved reading us pull away at the end of the second quarter!

 

Taped the game, and just got done watching it on the DVR.  My game balls are as follows:

 

Sean McDermott (YEAH, I SEDDIT!!) - You all know that I'm no big fan of McClappy, but I gotta give it up to him.  He had the team completely prepared and ready to play.  When the Fish did all their window-dressing and bull####, the Bills D largely ignored the bull#### and stuck to their assignments.  Fish gonna get theirs, but holding them to 20, the Fish's lowest offensive total of the season, was a massive accomplishment for our defense.  Props to McD, he was the team MVP today.  Please, please, please do this in the playoffs.

 

JP Allen - Josh was lights out today.  Ridiculous completion percentage, on target all day.  Sometimes his receivers simply cannot handle his fastball.

Baby Stef - Best player on the field.  After hearing about Waddle and Hill all week, he went out and made a STATEMENT.  A pissed off Stef is good for us.  Let's hope the media figures out ways to continue to diss him throughout the season.  Pissed off Stef is unstoppable Stef.

Gabe "Welcome Back" Davis - Once again the first TD of the game to set the tone, but the play that separated him from the rest?  Tre Day goes down, and we hold the Fish on 4th.  Run the ball to burn clock?  Play conservative?  ***** no.  Play action and the HOME RUN BALL TO GABE!!!  I LOVE IT when we go for the throat after a TO!!  Fish still had a quarter left, but they were done.  That play ripped the heart out of their chest, and we showed it to them, beating as the Fish slipped away from life.

 

"Dr. Jekyll and" Micah Hyde - Sometimes you get a game ball for a play.  It was 34-20, after the Fish scored a TD to get within 11, and we kicked a FG from the red zone.  The Fish had a chance to pull within 7, but Hyde comes up with the INT, which essentially snuffed out any chance the Fish had for any type of comeback.

"Big" Ed Oliver - One-man wrecking crew, sack, TFL's, just all over the field making plays.  I've been critical of Oliver, but he seems to be finally living up to his draft status.  Great game today!

Greg "Groot" Rousseau - sack, TFL, a rejection, Groot was all over it today.  Making Tua's life miserable up front with constant pressure.  When Von comes back, this defense will be simply unfair to play against.

With permission from @Freddie's Dead, here’s the game balls from our awesome win against the Dolphins.

 

As @Freddie's Dead likes to do, JA gets an obligatory game ball. That said, what a game he had. He had more touchdowns (5) than incompletions (4). JA is definitely not broken!

 

On offense - Stef Diggs - 3TDs (nuff said)

 

On defense - Micah Hyde with the back breaker interception and Groot with three TTs, two sacks and one pass defensed.

 

What a game! Still the Beast of the East!

 

Who ya got? Go Bills!

Game Balls?

 

The entire team, including the coaches.

 

It wasn't perfect, but no game will be.  But in terms of players and coaching overall, there is nobody I have an issue with after this one.  Could you pick apart something, of course.  But McDermott was on.  Dorsey may have called his best game.  The players executed against a good team.  This was a true team win.

Is there anyone, anywhere that thought this score?  20/48. I expected 25/25 +/-

 

stand up if you expected BOTH offense and defense to excel. I’m giving HC/GM a break on criticism for a while!!

I had it 48-13 in the Predict the Score thread, I didn't give the Fish enough credit.  But @SoonerBillsFannailed it, 48-20 Bills.

4 sacks on Tua, after he was only hit 5 times in the first three games???  Are you kidding me?!?

 

Two of their offense linemen came in Questionable which could be a factor.  He was "kept clean" according to report.

Tua was also seeing shadows when he was playing but in coverage and linemen so he was delaying throwing ball.

Good to hear. You gotta take my adding Milano to Josh and Stef's automatic status suggestion. The guy just never has a bad game.

Yea the reason the Bills front could get home is the back end confused him, took away his first read and made him hold the ball. 

 

Tua is two Quarterbacks:

 

Elite when his first read is there

Below average when his first read is not there
