Week 12, Bills v. Iggles - Predict the Score


Freddie's Dead

Recommended Posts

Bills 38, Eagles 20

 

Though they are behind the 8-Ball because of Dorsey, the Bills continue to build into the team they were destined to be--if their defense can somehow manage to keep balling, despite their injuries.

 

They did exactly what I called for last week, running and running (and running some more) with a purpose, throwing the ball to their talented backs, opening up what was a vast wasteland--the middle of the field--against the Jets, with variety and creativity in the passing game, using much more motion and formations,  scheming play makers open, and everything falling into line because of these things. To me, it was almost a perfect first game of the new season of hope.

 

Now, they progress of course, doing those things even better and because of that, and like last week, the intermediate and long passing game opens up even more.  They go more to Davis, Diggs, and someone fast like Harty, to blow the top off the defense, making big plays, complementing the short passing and running game.

 

Count on these things--interesting, creative, physical offense, with a purpose and with actual direction.

 

Yes, might be too late for this to all keep progressing as it should, with these things well over a year overdo, but the Bills have hope again, as do many of us.

 

This is the 2nd  best team in the NFL to me now and today they show it, again..

I have yet to see Harty run fast, despite the FA expenditure to get him. But otherwise, I do think there is reason to hope, but very little runway, so no room for bad weeks.

Just now, Dr. Who said:

Yes, I agree, but Harty has looked fast in his returns.

 

But like the rest of the offense, such as the running game and short passing game,  we have no idea what he is really capable of because of the  gross incompetence of their last OC.

 

Sherfield?  Another great example of that, with almost no yards this year.

 

Those many millions may start to actually pay off now if the competence has truly returned to the offense, as it looked like in Brady's first at bat last week.
