  1. New coach energy isn’t about a guy on the sideline being a cheer leader lol.
  2. This is an absurd take. This is a prime example of someone just whining to whine and manipulate info to confirm their bias. You are lumping in Dorsey led offense (7 of those 9 were with him) with Brady led offense and they are not the same, but you’re doing it to exaggerate your bias.
  3. Miami isn’t winning both games against Dallas and Ravens, might not win either one. But I do think Miami follows Bills blueprint and just runs all day on Dallas, so if Miami is to win one of them, I think Dallas is the one they have the best chance at. People are down on the Chargers game, and that’s dumb IMHO. They held their poise despite down early off a ST fumble and were then again late after Cook fumbled it felt like a game that could flip momentum and be in danger of losing. But they stayed composed, they didn’t abandon Cook, and they drove the field to win the game. Then the D did its thing immediately on defending the chance for a game winning FG with a big sack out the gate to seal the fate if the game to a lateral gauntlet for a miracle attempt. Coming off a huge win, into a road environment with new coach energy against a weaker team easy to overlook is a game a lot of teams can lose. And when you factor our struggles in close games, being able to hold on and make the plays to win the game was great to see. Sure we would have preferred a multi-score win, but also, Bills need to win these close games too as there are likely to be more, so this IMHO only helps build more poise and confidence inside that locker room as we move towards the playoffs. Note: I think we are about to see more of a split committee at RB between Fournette and Cook. Cook is having some fumbling issues, had also dropped 2 easy TD passes, and isn’t great in pass pro. Playoff Lenny inbound, I think they are gonna get his legs warmed for a playoff impact and Lenny is a more physical runner, better receiver, and better in pass pro. Cook will be the speed element and still mix in a lot too, but I have a feeling that if Lenny shows he still has it (he’s only 27) these next couple weeks, then he could be looking at a hefty involvement come the post season.
  4. You know the QB on the other team only had 200 yards and 1 TD (none passing) and only because of a ST fumble. You are grossly exaggerating the situation. If you want to call that lucky, then you need to call all the Bills losses by one score lucky for the other teams too. Bills didn’t lucky at all, they went out and won the game on execution not luck. There wasn’t a lucky play that won them the game. Josh and the offense made plays. And I find it even more hilarious that you said Josh sucked (3 TDs) and then praise the Chargers QB (1 TD thanks to a st fumble). Bills were on the road facing a team with new energy from a new coach. This was their SB, the coach and QB literally even said it before the game themselves as they don’t know what future they even have after this season. Bills controlled the game except three turnovers allowed the Chargers to stay in it. But they went out and handled their business on the road and made the plays to win the game when it mattered, something they have struggled with in the past. I swear, some of you piss and moan unless we blow people out, and that’s just not the reality of the NFL.
  5. We now control our own destiny and are currently the 6th seed. 2 games to go to reach playoffs…then the real season begins! LFG! GoBills!
  6. Dumb penalties also offset some big Allen throws too
  7. Let’s not forget 2 gimme dropped TD passes vs Eagles and Cowboys As good as he’s been he’s also had some concerning moments that could be costly in the playoffs if they continue.
  8. 2 Fumbles though…almost cost us this game.
  9. I said it all last year...all offseason...and screamed all season long this year...DORSEY was the problem. I understood the hiring, promoting within with a guy Josh liked. But the moment he was hired, my concern was his lack of experience and essentially learning on the job during the prime years of Diggs and Allen. It posed the risk of wasting that time while he learned on the job if he didn't excel early...and he didn't excel ever. He was terrible at use of personnel, play design, scheming guys open, utilizing his RB's as runners and receivers, creating motion with purpose, etc. The offensive numbers were misleading...the play to play, drive to drive, game to game consistency, efficiency and smoothness were all lacking. Allen, Diggs, and company can mask and overcome the OC deficiencies enough to still put up season end stats, but the offense had issues the entire Dorsey tenure. Quite honestly, even though its a small sample size, the offense is even better than it was under Daboll even. Daboll had his own issues (allergic to running the ball for starters) and often would just call the dumbest plays in key moments as if he was trying to be the star of that moment with something tricky rather than smart. If things continue, not only do I think Brady will remain as OC and could end up being the best one Josh has had so far. And I would think he would be a prime candidate to replace McD if there was a change made this year or next?
  10. So this thread actually has nothing to do with talking heads I see lol
  11. He’s been everything I thought he would be when we signed him and more. He’s the reason I said we might lead the league in sacks this year back in preseason. I thought it was one of Beanes best signings in terms of talent vs value of his tenure and he has not disappointed. He’s everything we hoped Von would be (and to be fair, Von was delivering pre-injury just at an absurdly higher price tag). I would love to see him back on a 1 or 2 year deal next season too.
  12. Love seeing DaQuan on there as limited
  13. None of these are my favorite QB.
  14. YouTube premium is the best thing I've paid for. So it’s clear to others, that is NOT the tv service, it’s for ad free viewing of actual YouTube. Soooo much great content on there and I watch it much more than cable or streaming platforms. One of our favorite shows on there is “The Why Files”, highly recommend it. We also watch a lot of cooking, sports, standup comedy, etc on there. If anyone loves standup comedy, this is one of the best standup specials of all time and he released it onto YouTube when he dropped it. HIGHLY recommend this, Shane Gillis is hilarious. Also, “Kill Tony” is great show if you’re into standup too.
  15. Cowboys. Miami is how you can play in good weather in a regular season game. You want to win in the playoffs, in bad weather, in the Super Bowl…then dominate the trenches and impose your will on both sides of the ball like we just did to the Cowboys.
  16. I don’t disagree with you here about these principles, you’re correct. However my counter point would be specifically on this play, he appears to me to be turning his head away from the contact. Second counter point, it’s much easier to say this than it is to execute in fractions of a second in a live action game too. Which is why I said it’s almost impossible to hit a guy in this situation without a high probability of drawing a flag.
  17. He got suspended for the rest of the year due to repeat offender, not necessarily for the severity of this one play. If you watch the play in slow-mo, it doesn't look egregious to me. I mean what is a player supposed to do there, he went low and tucked his head. Not his fault the pass was bad and Pittman had to lay out for it and it caused them to collide head to head low to the ground. In fact, this is about as textbook as you can get in terms of how you should hit the player in this situation. Im all for player safety, but the NFL has literally made tackling a player in certain situations basically impossible. If a player lays out like this for example, he is pretty much untouchable without risking a flag for contact to the head, defenseless receiver etc. The only sure solution for the defender is just let them make the catch...but what is the point of that in terms of the sport? There is no possible way to fairly remove all big hits or vulnerable hits from football without completely compromising the game. That being said...like Danny Green in the NBA, you don't get the benefit of the doubt when you are a repeat offender. So even if this play wasn't worthy of being suspended rest of year, he earned that extra scrutiny through repeat offenses.
  18. Until he dropped another TD after this post lol. All kidding aside, kid is having his breakout year like many of us expected had it not been for Dorsey not knowing how to use the players on this roster properly
  19. Fair counterpoint...But my rebuttal to that would that for everyone one that may have been light enough to not get a flag, Allen takes plenty others where no flag was thrown when it should have been including horse collars, face masks, etc. Either, totally agree Allen is smark to punish defenders and making them think about it more is never a bad thing, especially for a QB who already takes more punishment than any other QB.
  20. This notion of Josh Allen flops is stupid if you ask me. You can't flop if the player isn't hitting you after the fact and making illegal contact. Every single example they show in his flopping reel is literally a flag REGARDLESS if Allen tries to exaggerate it to make sure the ref sees it. All Josh is doing is being smart, making sure the refs throw the flag on the illegal contact. For any Bills fan to be upset with it is even more puzzling. Keep doing you Josh...
  21. Can Allen still win it...maybe. For Allen to win it several things need to happen: Bills win out No bad turnovers or costly turnovers, preferably none at all We win division Niners lose 1 game Ravens lose 1 game I don't think Allen can win it without at least 4 of those things happening, or even all 5. Plus Allen is gonna have be a bigger part of our next 3 games than what he was against Cowboys. Ravens vs Niners next week, so one of them will lose for sure...but also the team winning that game is gonna boost up their respective MVP candidates further. Ravens still have Miami the week after and Pitt, so if they beat Niners they could still lose to one of the others. Niners have Commanders and Rams after the Ravens game. Rams are dangerous, so if they beat Ravens, its possible they could still lose to Rams week 18. But I can't see Allen winning it unless BOTH those guys each lose a game, mainly because the winner of their head to head next week is gonna really prop up the MVP candidate(s) on that team. So that winning team needs to lose to someone else after given that the top 3 right now are Purdy, Lamar, and CMC. Josh needs to handle his business, and then he needs some help. Just handling his business prob wont be enough to overtake one of the other guys ahead if they continue to handle their own business. Personally, as of right now it should be Purdy and I don't care if Allen does or doesn't win it...just win out, and hit they playoffs rolling as the scariest team in the AFC, and maybe the 2nd scariest outside of the Niners in the whole NFL.
  22. Your bold type sounded more sarcastic that optimistic
  23. We lost in OT to Jets…how do you figure we still lose to Jets if we had a better offense? Mathematically, we would be 13-1 right now if we swapped out what Joe Brady’s offense is scoring into the games we lost…with the only loss being Philly.
  24. Frazier was the DC, not McD in those years. How about maybe enjoying the win and taking it one game at a time rather than wallow in the past even after a dominant win?
