17 points allowed against an offense that had recently found its groove, with more or less a preseason lineup in the second half.  McD gets it.


full healthy DL and safeties. Decimated at the middle level but let’s not run up to preseason lineup either

Elams pick was super pivotal. To me that was the biggest play of the game

 

Even bigger because it came after 2 not great plays in a row by him. He has played well in big games...had a huge pick against Mahomes in the end zone last year that was timely also.

What did he do? I saw almost get Mason on the last play of the game but that stud QB out ran him and slipped his ankle tackle. Championship caliber player

McD's defense is the defensive version of Shanahan's offense...plug and play almost anyone and the scheme helps them be competent.

Elam. Dude got run over and then abused for a PI the very next play. 
 

That INT to stop them after that deserves recognition for not folding. That cut momentum out real quick. Deflated them if you will. 

Elam made some great splash plays due to his athleticism, but his coverage was overall very weak. Rasul better be back soon because this is not going to cut it against Kansas City.

McDermott I guess for glueing a shattering vase of a Defense together and holding it together for as long as he can.

DK bros.

WHAT? I thought they fired him when the team was 6-6.

 

Seriously though, what a defense that last few weeks. One player goes out with an injury and another steps in and the defense doesn't miss a beat.

 

Aside from McD, the entire team gets a game ball as it was an amazing effort by so many. Josh puts the cape on and makes a 52-yard TD run. 4 TDs by the alien unicorn.

You definitely play Raz over Elam. Just circumstances for this game and events that happened with him involved is where I’m at. He made some plays to see the field sporadically, especially if Taron is out next week.

I forgot TJ was injured. What a mess

For whatever reason he hasn’t played. Injuries, dog house, better depth, who knows. That guys confidence must have been on the ropes after those two plays. 
 

That INT gave no hope after it turned into Josh’s 52 yard scamper. 🦿

 

Killer bounce back for his return to the field since London. 

Lets hope this continues! He tackled well too. We need Douglas and Taron back.

Some second-level considerations:

 

B. Spector was having another good game until he went out.

L. Joseph played well, especially after being inactive the past few games.

The Oline again.

D. Williams was ready to go when needed.

S. Martin for gutting it out . . . But is the Punt God ready? 🙂

D. Harty with a great catch-and-run.

By far the first game ball goes to all the stadium workers, personnel and shovelers who got the stadium ready. What a superb effort!

 

Regarding the game:

 

Offensively, Josh, Cook, Kincaid, Shakir plus interior of the OL. 

 

Defensively, Klein stood out and great to see Elam punch back with an INT. Almost had another interception. Overall thought the D tackled well under the conditions.

 

ST, gotta give Martin one

 

Unfortunately, Bass and the DL’s inability to pressure/sack Rudolph was disappointing

Every 2nd and 3rd string player that suited up and played tonight. 

 

This is not unusual but the difference is rather than playing in finish the game mode they were finishing the game.

Did Not Play

QB 9 K.Allen

 

When it is in finish the game mode Kyle Allen plays.

He wasn't on the street. He's been on the practice squad.

After having been signed off the street…Allen also reiterated this in his postgame interview. Technically was signed right before the Dolphins game:

Since it was mentioned you felt need to mention it twice.

1. Elam - did not see him thrown at much at all after the INT.  Can’t wait to see the game grades on him.  
 

2. Klein

 

3. Shakir 

 

 

Things I didn’t like:

 

1.  Only 1 sack on 40 Rudolph drop backs. 
 

2. Dawkins was not good tonight 

 

3. Bass.  wtf man.

Maybe not a game ball, but Gilliam was responsible for that 4th down sneak being successfull. Allen was short and he singlehandedly carried him past the first down line. Huge play in the game.

It’s been nice to see the unheralded back half/depth portion of our roster step up!

Klein is the definition of a fringe player.

 

The Bills cut him in August of last year.   Then re-signed him a month later.   Then cut him again on December 9th.  Then re-signed him on January 11.

 

He was on the street a week ago.  And this week he was playing in front of 70,000 screaming fans in a playoff game.  Pretty cool.

The OL was going against one of the best DL in football and they did reasonably well by keeping the pocket clean.  Go Bills !

You do realize for like the 10th time this season Von had a ZERO stat line. He's not going to magically become Von of 2022.  Just let Kingsley play.
