This ain’t the game to be in nickel. Need a 3rd LB. 

 

We've been running some 3lb looks

Didn’t like the 2 runs on 2 and 3rd and 3 or the screens on the following possession. Need to be more aggressive looking down field. 

I really think Josh audibled into a run on that third down but I’m not 100% sure

Amazing that we’re only down 7. Gonna need Josh to be Superman in the second half. 

 

And a turnover or two

I don’t remember the Bills actually executing something like that before

No game is. If Tarron Johnson is so important, make him a goddamn safety. We have 3 incredible LBs that can cover so much area. We are the one team in the league that can play 3 LBs every snap and cover. We are the team that needs nickel the LEAST. This coach is clueless

My alarm is set for 2 AM for work.  A Bills win will let me sleep with a smile on my face for two hours- a loss would be no sleep.

 

GO BILLS!

I think what i need clarity on is “what is out of bounds?”.  He broke the plane with one second left, but his feet or body didn’t land until the clock expired.   I thought you had to hit the ground for OB.

Replay showed 1 sec on clock when his butt hit the ground

Kincaid hit the ground with 0:01 still on the clock

So we now know Allen can throw the ball forward. Why not try some more of that? Why do we only open up the passing offense when absolutely necessary?

 

They have called at least a couple of shot plays (and I suspect the 2nd and 1 Josh checked out of was one too) but we have ended up throwing underneath on one and then I don't know about that corner route to Keon (was it a throw away?)

If Wade Phillips was our DC we win the Super Bowl 3x already 

I heard he's available. 

[Floydboy12]

Allen is a playground draw it up in the dirt QB. Need to just let him be that and try to out score people.

Defense needs to get it together next half. They were horrid. 

I thought the defense did a good job tightening up. Bosa had a horrible whiff on Lamar early, but seems to have corrected himself fairly quick. That forced fumble most likely prevented a TD. The most you can do is hope to contain Lamar. Hold him to FGs and/or grab a timely turnover or 2.

he hasnt won a superbowl yet....baby steps...  gotta keep that leash tight

Seems it. Brady needs to realize that this is Josh's offense. Not his.

If McD was honest he would have said “I haven’t got a clue”

he said what needed to happen. He never said how.

I'm honestly ready for Brady to get a HC gig.   He hasn't shown me anything that's impressed me anymore than Dorsey. 

 

The run up the middle on every 2nd and short is some of the most aggravating playcalling I've ever witnessed.

Thing is the Ravens were defending the sideline on the first which they have basically given up doing otherwise which allowed Shakir space over the middle. That hasn't been there in general. And then on the 2nd one they have backed the secondary off. 

 

I am not sure you are getting those looks at any other time. 

 

They need to find a way to threaten down the field on the outside. It remains the thing that is holding this offense down.

I can't see the full picture but we need to send Palmer, shakir, Kincaid routinely down field. In 21, 22 we were doing long passes. We need to now. 

 

If we do that it'll help open under routes too

[Nitro]

Second half adjustment.  Focus the defense on stopping the run.  Jackson has 67 yards passing.
