George was 6'3" and 255lbs. 

I'm pretty sure he was 235

Missed the game. Sounds like it was a stress free win.

 

How come Josh’s stats were so pedestrian? 148 passing yards on 5.9 YPA, only 56% completion percentage, and no TDs. I’m sure he was good cause he’s always good but gaudy stats always help MVP cases.

He did what he needed to do, not more, not less.  The Jets actually did a pretty good job against the receivers, but there was room to run, so they did.

Bosa is what we thought von would be

Von was rather excellent for us before all the injuries

And we made Skylar Thompson look legit.

Please stop parroting this absolute nonsense. He was 18/45 (40%) for 220 yards with 1 TD and 2 INT which was good for a 44.7 Rating. 
 

His career numbers give him a 58.7% completion percentage and 66.1 Rating.

I think they looked at the game quickly getting away, that they had Buffalo Joe and gave Milano a break

He appeared to grab his abdomen trying to make a tackle with 35 seconds left in the 2nd quarter. But he continued to play after that.

George was unique, ran high and tall. I thought Cook reminds me of a cross between Chris Johnson and Edgerin James. 

I can see Chris Johnson a little.  I was always thinking Warrick Dunn or Jamaal Charles.

Lots, and I mean lots of dropped passes!

I saw a couple from Dawson Knox today.  I missed a good part of the first quarter.  I think the first quarter was the worst, statistically, for Allen passing the ball.  I also missed Josh's big run.

Jackson Hawes looks to be a steal , and a guy the Bills are going to use a lot this season.

This is why we need Bosa to hold down snap count and be there week 19

Yes, and Cook is just under 200. BIG difference

This is the story of McDermott's defense. He makes bad QBs look awful. Then gets killed by the elite QBs. Its been that way since year 1 under McDermott.

Beane gave him more pieces to work with this year. The young defenders on the DL looked good. Young DL players take time to develop.

Tre looked like he was moving as good as he was pre ACL. 

Bosa looks like the complimentary edge rusher they have needed for years!

Rapp and Bishop didnt embarass themselves this week.

Tua, Waddle, Achane, and Hill will present a tougher test. I like our DL against Miami OL though. I really like our OL against their defense. Look for another 200 yard rush effort! 

 

 

They are? It’s been 2 games and do either sanders or walker even have a tackle? A pressure? Not hitting panic button but I don’t think it’s crazy to ask them to do produce something. And that’s with Oliver not playing today

Because of the run balance. The extra dimension here is they don't need Allen to do everything every time.

Game script reasons. The run game was working well all day and they never gave us a reason to abandon it. And then it became apparent by the middle of the 3rd quarter that the Jets offense was a dud so once we put up 30 we stopped trying. There were some struggles early on but whenever the offense needed to sustain a drive we made it look easy. The whole offense looked bored honestly.

No, he sounded serious, like his day was ruined.

Good. Screw that guy.

For all the James Cook comparison posts, does anyone remember James Brooks?  Very similar back to James.

a nice boring win! It was perfect. The only time We lose to these guys is when we press and get too aggressive and turn the ball over (and make ST gaffes). We have learned from past experiences. Nothing was forced downfield.

My random musing after that welcome snoozefest:

 

1.  Really expected a much tougher game against the Jets.  

2. For all you folks who said let Cook walk, don't pay him.  How ya feeling now?

3. The Bills just ground the Jets down.  

4. Joey Bosa was a game wrecker today.

5. Tre White held up.

6. Walker and Sanders did their job.

7. The Jets in NY give Josh fits.  Today was no different.

8. Called a broken nose as soon as he left the field after getting hit on the tackle.

9. Nice to see Moore involved in the game plan.

10. LBs seemed to redeem themselves.

11.  Does anyone want Bass back at this point?  Anyone?  Bueller?

12. I actually turned the game off at the mid-4th and watched a very entertaining end to the Pats and Finns.

Agreed.  I have no problem with being bored in September if it means that are playing meaningful football in January.

exactly. It will be fun in about 2 days to have no memory of this game whatsoever!
