I don't want to care, but...

Can’t wait to rewatch knowing we win. Makes me less judgmental….

Very true. Knowing how awful they were early on offense and the fact they were resilient makes me hopeful for the rest of the season…especially off the heels of last weeks low energy game

i am listening but the first smoker voice meth head that calls in and complains about the missed two point conversion I'm out.

 

also the first early 20's guy that calls in and says Allen stinks because of the first interception I am out also.

They seem to want these mopes to call in. 😂

But you still have to be able to adjust if he does it to you 2-3 times easily. 

 

With the way their rungame was rolling, I would not have been telling anybody to read Baker first.

Thompson has looked pretty legit tbh…Bernard is definitely splitting time or getting outright benched when he comes back 

TB had a good game and this board would look a lot different if it were not for Cole Bishop.

Drunk game, but we managed not to pass out - I'll take it

 

Seems like we came out healthy too on short week (tho still have to survive practice, and sleeping, before thurs)

I see Benford on the in game injury list.

[Comebackkid]

that was an all time elite bi polar game.    

 

D players have such a hard time getting off of blocks.   awareness on the field is horid a times.   so many times they 

fight it out to get in a really advantageous position only to give it up. 

 

Josh Allen at times Brilliant....other times so wtf its mind boggling.   He's really reaching that age where the cerebal part comes 

into play yet...so many times its just not there.   He got it done today though regardless.

 

Cole Bishop, 1st half i was wondering if he was going to have a down game but he stepped up nicely.

 

D line..  not sure if we just werent trying to get pressure but for most of the game Baker could sit back there and do what he wanted.

 

Cook, defenately not a great game rushing but the O-line did him zero favors today and compared to what the bucs were doing with 

play calling to rack up rushing yards our game plan paled in comparison.

He excelled when called on to catch the ball though.

 

Ray Davis.    did they inject him with some nitrous or what?  dude looked Fast on returnes and helped the Bills greatly today.

 

Run D.  As I alluded to in the first mention, horrid but consistant.    Having teams that can run and throw along with a qb who can show

the threat of run kills them.   Along with really bad situational awareness at times.

 

Poyer...Slow and late at times but he saved a lot of plays with good reads.

 

Brady....   Better.    A couple times he actually sent out a few players running deep and amazingly things opened up..who would have thought.

Still not sold but hey...   44 points and a win isnt the time to complain.

 

Hardman....    ok other than being soley responsible for -7 points and i guessing that injuries are contagious in Buffalo because he 

didnt make it through one game with out going out injured.

This game was drunk....

 

The first half seemed to be a bit of a mess, but we found a way to have a lead.  What I really want to do in my All 22 review of this game was to take a look at the 2nd half, mostly on offense.  I think the first half was so wild and full of good and bad, it is hard to separate the 2 halves, but I want to say the 2nd half overall was much cleaner and in control.  But the defense was so bad pretty much the whole day, I was having a hard time putting things in context live.  But I think that the 2nd half overall was pretty solid by the offense.

 

I said this is the game thread, but Coleman doesn't need to play anymore.  He wasn't missed.  When he played, he was a waste of time in Josh's progressions.  All of a sudden, guys got open today and I don't think it was a coincidence that he didn't play.  I still want to play Moore over Samuel and we'll see where Hardman is with his injury, but Coleman should be an afterthought until injuries force him back in.

 

Finally, they remembered that they can throw the ball to Cook and Johnson.  Makes a big difference when you have to cover the backs as it opens up things not only for them, but for other guys.  Cook should see 5 targets+ per game.

 

It wasn't perfect on offense, but we can win with what we had in the 2nd half.  The defense?  Ugh.....still a mess.  Bishop was good.  D Williams was great down the stretch.  Hairston seemed to hold up again as well.  But the defensive line was terrible once again and Bernard and Milano are brutal behind them.  I just don't know what you do to fix it at this point.  They refuse to change the scheme and the players are getting whooped physically.  Not sure what you do to fix it when you refuse to change the overall scheme you play.

 

Anyway, good win.  Much needed win.  Need to get another one on Thursday.  GO BILLS!

That's a ab big no! We've seen Josh better many times.

yes, when the offense is structured that way

 

this is them asking Allen to win because hes the best player in the league, not because it's how the offense is designed. it's not going to be perfect but it's VERY obvious which direction they need to go

[Nihilarian]

Every team the Bills face going forward is gonna try and run it down their throat! 

[Bangarang]

Allen was great even with the silly picks. 

 

This offense absolutely does not need Keon Coleman on the field. 

 

The defense still has problems but came up huge a few times. 

 

 

[EmotionallyUnstable]

Days like today make me so frustrated we’ve lose Hoecht, Oliver and even Jackson. 
 

What was up with all the TJ Sanders at DE? Didn’t seem to help against the run. Morgan Fox likely to see some burn in the near further. 

[Low Positive]

I'm as frustrated by the run D as all of you, but you have to enjoy the wins. At least a little bit.

That interception and the facemask penalty.

[BillMafia716ix]

Probably one of the most unimpressive 6TD performance I’ve ever seen lol

After the first interception

[Scott7975]

For those that want to dump on Allen expecting him to be perfect, Mahomes just threw 3 bad passes in a row.

They REALLY missed Oliver today.

44 points and 6 TDs against a 6-3 team and somehow, maybe, we can spin it into a negative, right? 

That wasn't good for my cardiac health and the defense is an atrocity. But yes, good win
