Just now, Hapless Bills Fan said:
The point is, you can see a ball hit the WR in the hands, but if he had to adjust his hands to get there and it has a lot of juice on it, it's a more difficult catch.
But..but.. but... that's exactly what they are paid to do. Not every ball is perfectly thrown. If it's within their arm span, they are expected to catch it. That is what they did in weeks 1-4. Not as much lately.

Getting cause and effect mixed. The drops are up because Allen has been under a lot more pressure and when he hurries his throws they're a little bit less accurate and have less touch - harder to catch.
Fix the protection and the passing will improve.
One hopes Daboll has taken a lesson from the Eagles game last year where he basically asked Allen to win it with his arm in crap weather because that was the matchup that made sense on paper.
I disagree. I watched them drop them right in their hands, off their face masks, etc. I remember that catch Beasley made at the goal line that flipped him upside down. Part of it is forcing the ball into double coverage on Diggs without Brown being on the field. But even Diggs has dropped a few he should have caught.
-
In the first four games, the WRs caught everything that was thrown to them. In the last three games, the drops are on the rise. Correct that and things will look much brighter this weekend.

We can't run or we don't try to run that much?
This. The Bills are committed to 4-wide. Run the receivers deep and pull the secondary with them. NE is going to have to respect that. Stopping swing passes to White and stopping Burkhead from running off center is going to be the keys to this game.

Because you are living in the past if you think that beating the pats this year is more significant than beating Miami. Beating them Sunday isn’t like beating them in other years. It is just another division win given the current circumstances. If they lose its not a referendum on anything other than its their 2nd division loss and 3rd loss overall, and more pressure to win the following week etc
and 3rd loss in four weeks with Seattle up next.

If you dig a little deeper, you find NE is really banged up, consider:
RB: 1st: Damien Harris: Q
WR: 1st: Julian Edelman: O
WR: 1st: N'Keal Harry: Q
WR: 3rd: Marqise Lee: O
LT/RT: 1st: Justin Herren: Q
RG: 1st: Shaq Mason: Q
RT: 4th: Marcus Cannon: O
LG: 2nd: Joe Thuney: Q
RT: 2nd: Jermaine Eluemunor: IR
RT: 3rd: Yodny Cajuste: IR
LDE: 1st: Lawrence Guy: Q
WLB: 2nd: Shillique Calhoun: Q
WLB: 3rd: Josh Uche, IR
SLB: 1st: John Simon: Q
RILB: 2nd: Brandon Copeland: IR
FS: 3rd: Kyle Dugger: Q
NT: 2nd: Carl Davis: Q
NT: 3rd: Michael Bennett: IR
SS: 3rd: Cody Davis: IR
SS: 4th: Brandon King: O
RCB: 1st: Stephon Gilmore: Q
And of course Covidions:
RB: 1st: Sony Michel

hes listed with an ankle injury though
That does feel a bit curious.

Bass and Bojo should be required to practice in the stadium all week. Get used to the wind and wuthering.

I know Julian Edelman has been hurt. I wonder if there is more going on to these numbers. Cam throwing to the left? Stidman? A desire to run more? No good TE to clear out the middle? Check out these numbers....
10/25 vs 9ers 1-13
10/18 vs Broncos 2-8
10/5 vs Chiefs 3-35
09/27 vs Raiders 2-23
09/20 vs Seahawks 8-179
09/13 vs Dolphins 5-57
The fall off after Seattle is precipitous.

Giants wearing white at home this week which is extremely rare. Also wearing their 80's helmets as well. Bills blue over white.
So they are now up to eight different combinations. We have moved well past silly...

I'm worried about concussion protocol for that guy
If he was in it, would he be out there at all? Asking, not familiar with the do's and don'ts

This man literally says the same thing, week-in, week-out to questions. He gives THE most boring interview of any coach. He has zero animation. He would flat line a heart monitor.

Buffalo is so due, overdue for a broken coverage, long TD where the WR or RB runs free. This would be a great week for one. Also a pick six would be nice. Also a ST touchdown would be nice. All the kind of things NE does to Buffalo to win games.

Poe would help the middle of the DL. He’s older but was solid for panthers last season, played for our current DL coach Eric Washington last couple seasons (he replaced Star there)
that is all we need to see..

He's at again this morning. Bill Belichick owns the Bills, he never loses to them, wont lost to them this Sunday and Patriots turn it around. Lets leave out the fact that #12 is gone. Lets leave out the fact that last year we almost beat the Pats twice with #12.
Yeah that was pretty brutal on GMFB. They did not even attempt to be balanced with one of them taking the Bills side. They're not wrong, but it was a brutal reminder how futile the Bills vs Patriots matchups have been.

From NFL.com
Buffalo's offensive line struggles are a concern. Josh Allen was pressured a season-high 14 times by a middling pass rush on Sunday and had his second-shortest average time to throw of the season (2.78 seconds), per Next Gen Stats.

Belichick has had the ability to affect Allen in the past. I don’t doubt that Allen will struggle a bit with his schemes. But Belichick’s m.o. is to take away the best weapon on the team. This will be Diggs. If brown plays that will help a ton. Overall the Pats defense is not as talented as it was last year, and that is showing on the field. Their ST isn’t as impactful either with blocked punts and that was the difference in the 1st game last year. There are holes to be exploited for Daboll. I think Allen will use his legs a lot. I’m not worried about their offense. DL needs to set the edge with cam.
as far as McDermott, I don’t know if you are right in your belief about his approach but I think he should want this one bad and I think the messaging should be different. That’s jmo.
The crazy thing about the Belichick is he pulls out a new wrinkle that you don't expect. I fully expect him to use White as his featured back. Instead we are likely to see Burkhead or Harris or something even crazier like J.J. Taylor.

I want to see this team pour it on Belichick. How many times have they run it up on us. If we have a chance to embarrass him you do it.
This is the one seared into my brain:

1. The quick passes to Beasley to get him to the edge.
2. As someone said upthread, more kicks for the rook. Loved him talking smack to JETS sideline.
3. No punts
4. Six sacks
5. 1 INT that led to late 1st half points
6. A very good kick return
7. A drive to start the 3rd. Like they said, "enough of this.."
8. No obvious injuries on a field that sure had the 9ers spooked
9. A division win
10. 4 yards total offense for the J*E*T*S, JETS! JETS! JETS! in the second half
11. And a bonus... Getting to watch the smack down of the Patriots afterwards.

Correct. The 2-deep shell and you play him the same way teams play Allen.
If I know ol' Bill, he is going to dial up plenty of runs to attack our suspect front and work the TOP to keep the game close.
He knows a frustrated Allen is a beatable Allen.
Oh yeah, we are going to see a steady diet of small backs running at the Bills. Screens to backs out of the backfield. Check downs to backs in the flats. And Newton designed runs. The only way to stop it is to put them into a big hole early.

To suppress the urge to choke players as they leave the field.

I don't remember any Bills get hurting yesterday. Am I misremembering? Meanwhile Thuney went down for the Pats. Another big hit on their O-line. And I think I heard in the game that N'Keal Harry was out for concussion evaluation.
Chris Simms: The Bills are a perfect matchup for the Pats right now. Can't run, can't stop the run.

I was in town and at that game. It was horrendous. I also had the misfortune of sitting in a section that was 75% Eagles fans. The game was brutal to watch and their fans were very vocal. It was sort of fun for say a quarter and a half. But as the game started to get away and the Eagles were running wild, it was tough to sit there.
