One guy who doesn’t deserve a game ball is Samuel. Yes he made the catch that was didn’t need to be so hard but what was he doing on the deep out? Just turn the jets on and blow past the LBer. He kept jogging and looking back at Josh the whole time and Josh “overthrows” him because of it. I’d be putting Moore in over Samuel. I don’t understand why he’s activated 

 

There are about 8 million reasons why.....

Game balls - Bishop, Gabe Davis (yes even with the endzone drop), Ray Davis (he was excellent on the kick returns) and Ty Johnson.  

 

I thought Dorian Williams made some nice plays, but outside of Bishop hard to give anyone on the defense a game ball when they allowed Tucker, the 3rd string TB RB, to run all over them.

 

Josh was terrible early and although he had a great statistical games TD wise, I think his decision making, especially early, was awful.  

 

 

 

Tucker is no slouch, he is one of the best running backs to come out of Syracuse.

Yeah he's a stud 

 

It's not his fault he's going to be hit with the undrafted free agent label and is behind two good running backs 

 

But he has good size and is fast.. he was a tremendous Orangemen and could have easily been drafted

Agreed that heart issue was the only reason he wasn’t drafted. He’s clearly better than White. Bucky and Tucker are a great one two punch come playoff time

I was at the game today and I always have a harder time paying attention to individual performances in person. I'll give my game balls to the two game changing players on each side of the ball:

 

Allen

Bishop

 

I don't know if they talked about it on the broadcast but it was deceptively windy on the field today. It wasn't a coincidence both QBs had some errant passes and multiple WRs had trouble corralling otherwise easy catches. Given the wind and the fact that Tampa mostly shut down our run game while we were hopeless in stopping theirs, Allen had to put the team on his back and he did. This was a game where the difference in QB play from each team ultimately decided the result.

 

The defense as a whole was awful, it is hard to find positives in a game where JAG RBs had their way with us. Bishop however has seemingly overnight become our best defensive player. I can't remember the last time a Bills player took this kind of leap in the middle of a season. We have ourselves a true ballhawk and the importance of that can't be overstated.
