Benford average?

Yes. He’s been average this season. He’s gotten beat plenty.

The K-Gun used the pass to set up the run, we need to adopt that philosophy 

 

With how much lack of respect and cover 0 and press man coverage we were drawing with Coleman, Samuel, and Knox playing for Kincaid...

 

And with teams stacking the box with safeties playing low commiting so much to stop the run, the Bills had to make them pay with some deeper downfield play.

 

Amazing how much else opens up when you have someone who can get leverage on DBs deep in Davis and a great route runner like Palmer in the intermediate zones finding space.

Allen has always owned up to his mistakes and usually takes the blame for some other player’s mistakes.  He’s done that since day one.  

There are those who want him to rave and rant on the bench.  Get into the faces of the guys.  You do not have to do that to show leadership.

Did max play today? I didn’t see him all game which is a great sign if he played. 

There were plays I said “where’s 31?” And it turned out he was on the field. Usually lined up on the side with a single WR 1-on-1.

Wasn't it actually the second time he's done it? Thought they mentioned it in the game

Bernard at least made some plays out there. Have to wonder how banged up he is and whether that's a better explanation for the drop off.

He was an mvp well before Derrick Henry got there if that's what you're implying

Hes been elite since 2019

He's not a top 5 QB in the NFL this year.

You can tell he's basically running on 1 leg.  Now, how much that is impacting his play remains to be seen.  Yes, he has physical limitations, but that doesn't explain some of the mental mistakes he's been making.  We just have to hope that his injury is the main reason for his drop in play and that he continues to get healthier as the weeks go by so his play improves.

2nd time with 3 rushing and passing TDs.

 

First time anyone has 3 passing TDs that were all 25+ yards.

What the hell difference is it if the ref spots it wrong.

It’s supposed to be faster than the refs dragging the chains out but it doesn’t seem to be.

I’ve got to say, it certainly was an entertaining game … kept the Doc Sullivan’s crowd engaged fo sho … plenty of good and plenty of bad, but enough to eke out a dub. Might have been different had Evans and Godwin been active. On to Houston. 

I wouldn’t say it was eked out but only reason I might say the TB WR’s may not have made much of a difference is largely because they got so much offense running the ball it wouldn’t have led to much action on WR’s.

 

But what was the biggest positive to me was that without a ground game to work off of Josh was able to just drop back and throw and be successful

Calling him average is like calling Chris Benoit a good dad. The guy has been a target in the passing game and an off ramp for the running game.

[Bills!Win!]

Bills will probably lose 9 to 6 Thursday. You never know which team will show up

When you say “better than average”, that would mean that there are more teams in the NFL with worse talent on defense than better. I don’t think that’s remotely true.

I think you are overrating other teams talent. I think if you add up the sum of the Bills parts you have a defense that’s at least more talented than 18 teams in the league.

 

Its not performing that way for various reasons but I think the talent is there to be a better than average defense

If he’s hurt hes hurt. But no matter how you slice it he’s been horrible. And he’s killing us. Get him on IR. We don’t need to have feel goods for playing hurt. The thing that hurts the most is our own defense when he’s on the field. We need Thompson back

He's played like 5 games so it's a bit hard to judge .

 

2019-2024 he inarguably he was  top 5, so I'm not gonna say he's not top 5 anymore just based on like 5 games this year as that would be  a pretty big panic haha

I'm just glad the man with the cape showed up 😊

[Low Positive]

Let me get this straight. To be a good fan, I have to be apocalyptic after losses, but I also have to be miserable after wins?
