Week 13, Bills v. Squeelers, GAME BALLS!

[Walking Tall]

Maxwell Hairston. Didn’t hear his name once or see him at all. Did he even play? LOL

 

I’m assuming he was great because I don’t remember seeing him at all.

Gotta give it to Benford an INT and a fumble recovery TD. Cook took over the game despite the lost fumble. Bosa and the Dline dominated. Offensive line short handed was huge. 
 

Special teams mostly crisp too. Overall it was a shaky first half but the defense energized the team with that TD and Josh made the big play to Keon and once it was a two score lead the game was done. Steelers only had one drive threatening and it was shut down early in the 4th.

 

Bills got Kincaid and Palmer a week off hopefully they come back and help out the passing game along with Cooks getting another week of practice in where he can maybe do more of the clear out stuff. Dawkins back from protocol will help the oline certainly. Gotta beat the Bengals next week and see where it goes

Shavers who blocked his ass off sealing the edge to allow Cook those outside runs.

He was huge today.

When he gets his hands on people, he just does not stop.

Fair! His two false starts were rough. 

 

He jumped on a 3rd one also that was mistakenly given to McGovern.

One of my weekly highlights in subscribing to NFL Pro, is logging in when the all-22 footage is available and filtering plays where Hawes is on the field. It's basically just a slideshow of all of our best run plays one after another.

Bosa and Benford.  Defense took over snd won the game.  

[st pete gogolak]

It was great to see Ray Davis in 2024 form. He looked quick and fast.  Could be a nice positive down the stretch.

[Aesop]

Entire defense, O-Line and the coaches (amazing job in the run game on offense and defense).

[Ed_Formerly_of_Roch]

With the Int. plus the TD return Benford has a good shot at AFC defensive player of the week unless someone else has a monster game.

Cook 

Bosa

Pretty much everyone other than the WRs

I think we are a little loose sometimes giving Allen an automatic Game Ball. He was good today, but he was not great and did not reach over the 100 yards of passing until the 4th quarter.

 

100 yards passing, a 1 yard passing TD and a rushing TD, with a pick and a poor first half is not Game Ball-worthy in my book.

 

Cook and Bosa were great today, so they get Game Balls.

His passing TD is one that maybe two other QBs in the NFL could have made and his rushing TD was one that only he could have made. Allen is a TD machine every week. That's why he gets an automatic play ball. He had league worst pass catchers on the field with him today and had to drag them into the endzone, with some assistance from the run game of course.

He did what needed to be done.  Two backups at the tackle position, no real viable receivers and a gameplan of churning out first downs and keeping Watt and company from pinning their ears back and feasting.  He ran for nice yardage in key moments, threw a touchdown on fourth down that looked like a broken play, ran into a pile before being bulldozed into the end zone by his teammates.   Weather wasn't exactly ideal for an air attack today. He deserves a game ball.  Not sure what two bills drive thought of his interception but my view on that was that it looked like Gabe's fault.  Even so, it wasn't an unforgivable mistake.  Cook fumbled but more than made up for it.  That throw to Cook that James took down to the fove yard line was a fantastic throw throw and a fantastic run after the catch by Cook. One of the best plays of the day. 

[Joe Ferguson forever]

Shavers threw an important block on almost every big run.  I think he's in the mix for a game ball and certainly a secure roster spot.

Today was wonderful by the coaching staff. They had a good plan on both sides of the ball. They made up for missing our two starting OTs. Fantastic job by the staff today.
