Just want to remind everyone that there were a bunch of people on this board who thought the game would be harder with Dalton in at QB.

 

To them I say: LOL.

haha, yeah, happy to be eating my words so far. He HAS made a couple nice throws, but overall holding onto the ball way too long allowing our D-Line to get home.

I see Mike Tolbert hasn’t missed many meals

For no game action until now?

 

Great. 
 

Hancock making a couple plays also. Promising signs!

Was he starting?  Also curious if Hancock started at safety

Anybody watching the game,  can you say how Hairston and the two suspended players look?

In the stands the defense itself is getting exploited by the wrs sitting in space. It takes a minute to develop while our pass rush takes on Dalton. If he gets 3 clean seconds he gets it off. If we get to him he doesn't. 

 

I will watch him in person

I've torn both my biceps, looks like Oliver is done for the season, and maybe w the bills.

 

We are down our starting Dts, and the top rookie pick dt is hurt too.  Sucks.

 

D line is playing great tho, huge impact on this game.

 

Something interesting to me is how much the team is platooning every defensive position, platooning cb2, safety, nickel, whooe dl, and lb.

 better than you'd expect from  an injured rook who missed so much time

[Draconator]

Hariston had a huge hit on Horn, knocking Horn out of the game. Hariston had also had some impressive coverage moments.

[thewookie1]

Allen’s play seems to be caused by the lack of openings are making him regress and lose his footwork 

[Brianmoorman4jesus]

The year we win a Super Bowl will be the year we can win scoring 17 points in a big game. That first half giving up 3 points feels better than us scoring 60. Keep playing defense. Let’s just suffocate teams we are always going to be good enough on offense. We have a generational QB. Stop people and we win a championship

Poyer is playing early downs and Hancock is coming in on 3rd.

Poyer looks awful and I've been guessing Hancock will be on full duty sooner rather than later.

Hairston looks good. Some solid tackles. Brings a lot of energy. Hoecht is a demon flying around. Larry O, I haven't noticed. 

[stevewin]

Let's get Cook 300!

[Scott7975]

I agree feed Cook but without a passing game it wont be enough. If thats all any team had to stop then they would find a way to stop it.

[Nitro]

Allen has to work himself back into MENTAL shape if the Bills are going to make a run to the playoffs.  He has been off all season.  Too good to look this shaky. 

[Billz4ever]

Heavy dose of Cook in the second half please, Brady.  Keep the clock rolling and keep the cute stuff out.

Both wouldn’t have been very good. Buffalo is dominating the trenches on both sides. 

[Chandler#81]

Someone PLEASE tell me Oliver’s injury isn’t serious. PLEASE???

[CircleTheWagons99]

Feed Cook and try some play action. Nothing else works in the passing game.
