TJ Watt on Bills rushing dominance: “I’ve never seen a team run the same play that much and have that kind of success.” Wow.

Bills fans: “oh, we have…”

Did McD call the plays? I never saw him with a play sheet

 

I didn't pick up on much sideline stuff today but on the field the came in ready to run a lot of different looks and probably called most of them.

I would guess that was mostly McDermott.

Bills gotta win 4 out of 5 including the second Pats game to have an outside shot at it. Bills win out and it’s a legit shot. I think if there’s a year to not win the division it’s this year. I don’t really look at Denver/NE/Jags or Colts/AFC North as being all that impossible to win away

Go G Men tomorrow night!

Their young guys on the d-line are having to grow up in a hurry. Saw positive plays from Solomon, Walker, and Sanders.

Bishop continues to flash what we were hoping to see from him. Taron is either injured or just spent at slot as I see they are subbing Cam Lewis in more often and I don't think there is that much of a drop off and I think he often seems more willing to click and close to fill and make tackles.

I know we have not often gotten our worth out of older big-name signings, but who doesn't think that Joey Bosa has pretty much kept this DL from total collapse this year while they have been trying everything to fill the other gaps. Basically playing with one hand - earned it.

On offense folks may want to see a wide open game, but with two backup OTs in the game going up against veteran pass rushers in Watt and Highsmith, they did the smart thing getting the ball out of Allen's hands quickly and leaning into their running game. They also did not have either receiver that can actually get open in Kincaid and Palmer starting the game so no real downfield threats to use.

Also, I really liked how decisive Allen was taking off and taking a good angle to the sideline and the marker today. He did not set himself up for sacks or getting hit by holding the ball and looking downfield for options that have been few and far between this year - just not there and the best thing to do is take a good angle to the sideline and pickup what yards he could.

Thought that late hit on the slide definitely should have been called, but Allen did a good job eluding the rush on several occasions and breaking tackles and I think that was because he was a lot more decisive about I am just going to take off now.

 

Tough gutsy win - go Bills!




 

They played well but the Steelers have been bad on offence most of the year,  let's see what they can do against Bengals who are a very good offence with multiple elite play makers

His decisiveness was huge today.

I was shocked that the Stillers didn't seem all that interested in spying him; I thought Dugger or even Queen would be eyeballing him all game long and they really didn't seem to be focused on it.

does that speak more to brady's genius, the rb's ablilty or steeler incompetence?

We should sign this 18 year old soccer phenom at kicker. He could have a 25 year career 

Still would be younger than Tremaine.

Love him or hate him, Sean McDermott is a quality DC.

 

McD has been grinding, along with his protege, Babich, to fix this defense.  All we can ask is that he fixes the defensive side of the ball that is his expertise, and it appears he has done a great job.  They gave up nothing the 2nd half vs Houston (60 yards and 3 points from a Shakir fumble) and today stuffed the Steelers on their field.  I'll see what they do vs Cincinnati but it's promising.

He really is. Everyone laughs at the lack of top tier talent on this D yet year in year out he fields strong units with guys at key positions that are practice squad level. 
 

This is why if I had to choose I’d dump the guy handing him lemons to coach up.

Gotta hand it to Bosa. Gutting through the injured wrist and making a game changing play.

That play may have saved the entire season. Completely different attitude shift by the whole team after that hit.

[MikePJ76]

Hats off to the defense today, players and staff.  There were limited challenges in the passing game but they had to play the run and be physical or it would not have been a game and they did it.  That was the name of the game today.  

 

you have to understand the game your in and they did today.  I wish they would have run the ball this much last week.  

 

this is the third best defensive game of the year.  They were dominant against the jets with the pathetic qb they have and then dominant against carolina.  

 

Going to be the completely opposite game next week.

A couple of these teams thought of as bad that the pats have left have been playing teams pretty close…wouldn’t be terribly shocked if they dumped one unexpectedly like the dolphins did against Tennessee a few years ago.  Of course the bills could do that also  😂

That felt like more of an Arthur Smith thing, he’s probably the worst OC in the NFL

 

No, come on, that's Joe Brady.

We know it can’t be the former. We have all fired Brady seven times this year. Each.

The second half was my favorite game of the season.

Never liked fries on a sandwich or salad. They should be on the side

they didn't ask josh what caused this but he said heyward is a great player  and it fired him up, meaning himself.

So...

For this game:

Your starting DT and possibly your best lineman is out on injured reserve

Your 2nd biggest free agent acquisition on the defensive line is on injured reserve

Your starting middle linebacker is out for the game

BOTH your starting offensive tackles were out

Your number one receiving tight end was out.

Your only real deep threat wide receiver was just placed on injured reserve

Your biggest offensive free agent acquisition at wide receiver was also out

Your center is pretty much gutting it out on

one arm......

Was it an ugly win??...You bet!!...but considering how unhealthy this team I wouldn't call it a BAD win.....
