Ah that’s probably where the twitter post got it wrong then, thanks!

👏👏👏

I agree, teams will adjust as we put more film on tape for them to gameplan around. BUT - I don’t know I have ever seen an offense in NFL history that was forced by the DC to beat them with just the deep ball. Like never seen a defense just shut down all avenues of the offense to the point the only option is to beat them deep. Will there be times where we don’t have a lot of time on the clock and need to get some deep shots or chunk plays, yeah probably, I can see that happening and that is an area where we haven’t had to see them do yet so we will need to see how they do. And as far as the DC not letting us run 12 play drives, well that’s easier said than done. Bills have guys across the board that can and have been making the plays. Being able to effectively run the ball and then extend that run game through short throws to the backs, Shakir, Samuel, etc puts a lot of pressure on the defense when you also have to account for Allen running. As those things move chains all day and opens up mid level opportunities and quality deep shots. And that is the most important thing…higher percentage quality deep shots, not just trying to recklessly force the ball downfield like Daboll and Dorsey stubbornly stuck too even when it wasn’t working.

I hear you. While I do think Tyrod was the best QB between Kelly and Allen, that isn’t saying much and his competition for that title are scrubs. My thing with Tyrod is our offense scored compared to the QBs before him. His 3 years was the 2nd highest scoring 3 year period (pre Allen of course) to only the SB years in Bills history. It was maddening to see him somehow not see a wide open Clay running right over the middle in front of him, but at least we scored points compared to the previous QB’s of the drought eras. Dont get me wrong, I wanted to upgrade from TT too, but scoring points was a refreshing change from the previous pathetic offenses we had to watch. What drove me more nuts was how bad Rex ruined our defense and how bad that coaching staff was. Can’t believe I actually liked that hire initially at the time it happened because I thought he would at least elevate our D to another level. Gross. Can’t believe we suffered through 17 years of that inept level of football 🤢

I did I posted a lot that I felt this may be Josh's best season overall yet in this style of offense throughout this offseason. Where I am more floored is the defense. I had concerns about the defense and "perceived" lack of depth, the dangers of smaller LB's getting hurt, new pieces, etc. Then when Milano went down and Taron followed first quarter of week 1, I was quite concerned heading into half time against the Cardinals. But then, suddenly everything switched and this D has been dominant, the "lack of depth" concerns I had have been blown out of the water with unheralded guys stepping all over the field, Von has bounced back, the pass rush has been great, etc. Its been a masterclass in coaching across the board for the Bills and massive kudos to all the people who had to step up and done so very well thus far.

Someone on twitter said it was 34...they might have been mistaken. They probably added this week to the 27 not realizing it was already counted. Not sure how to even look this info up to confirm, but either way, 27 is wild still.

It 100% did and I kept posting about that and people kept arguing his totals. It was one of the most frustrating times...that and Trentative era may have been the two worst as there was a plethora of people trying to make cases that both were good when they never were good at any point.

Im with you here on the very limited number of bad plays...but there are a few more. Allen Fumble - self inflicted 3 early penalties on the OL first half of AZ game 2 different missed throws by Allen down field to an open MVS Cook dropped TD pass...not the easiest catch, but one he needs to make Couple play calls I think Brady wants back Still...a very short list for 3 games in. I don't think I have ever been more pissed than when the news broke about Fitz new contract. He got it over one game then went on to average 1 TD a game the rest of the season except for the Bengals game where he had 3 INTS until their entire secondary got hurt and he made a 4 TD game comeback. He literally was trash almost every game that year and making it worse was all the people trying to argue to me that he was good and had a lot of TD's despite the fact they all came in just 2 of his games. LOVE FITZ the person, the mindset and style of player, guy off the field. But Ryan FitzPickSix the QB I had enough of as the Bill starter long before he wasn't the Bills QB here anymore.

Was just about to post this...well said. I think he struggles tracking the ball over his shoulder like a WR. Which is fine, he is a RB for a reason. Just hope that Brady and Allen pick up on that and focus on getting him the types of throws that are higher percentage catches for him.

He is too focused on Pistachios

hahaha whoops...I forgot that was last year lol. Yes, see you in NO!

I think Mack through 3 games is better than Davis ever was as a blocker, and that isn't a knock on Davis, that is all about how good Mack has been in this regard. Mack Hollins to blocking right now reminds me of Dennis Rodman to rebounding. He is all over the field like I have not really ever seen. And I do think he still brings more reliability, awareness, and versatility as a pass catcher.

Once in a lifetime QB...enjoy the ride Victories are total team efforts this season and a testament to the coaching staff Everyone Eats has resulted in Josh Allens best stretch of football maybe ever Rasul and Benford are playing like the best corner duo in the league right now Reviewing Beane's draft history looks a whole lot different right now Are you not entertained? Total domination since the first half of the Cardinals game on both sides of the ball Easily the best moment of the young season was seeing Hamlin get his first career INT Defense will still get Taron and Bernard back soon and Milano later 🤯 Mack Hollins > Gabe Davis in this offense...and its not close. You win in the trenches Allen is going to be the MVP $hakir is an absolute BEAST and caught an NFL record 27 straight targets $ee you in New Orleans in February 😎 GO BILLS!

I was so excited about this TD that I missed that hit live in the moment until I saw some people posting concerns in the game day thread about if he got hurt or not. Then when I saw the replay I was like yikes that was no joke of a hit. The dude is a tank, he just takes hits and bounces off people. This is the kind of toughness this offense has lacked overall for a while. Its why Beane talked so much about putting a team together that had more size that played more physical and are reliable pass catchers this year.

Yes and honestly I think the evidence is there to suggest that the issue we have had the most problems with have been the coordinators. McD seems to have the right coordinators in place now and its made all the difference early so far.

And when we do lose one game...look for the return of all the Fire McD/Beane threads, our WR's suck "I told you so's", etc etc people to come back out of hiding. Go look at the most active people in the now infamous WR's quitely got better crowd...lots of names mysteriously MIA since the start of week 1 who not only avoiding that thread, but avoiding posting on the board almost entirely for 3 weeks. As soon as we lose...the usual suspects with be full of word vomit for a week.

Agreed, its why I started a thread during the season last year that stated Shakir needs to get more of Davis's snaps back when that loser Dorsey was still the OC. Mack Hollins > Gabe Davis in this offense, and its not close.

Are there throws and runs Mahomes can make that Allen can't make? No. Are there throws and runs Allen can make that Mahomes can't make? Yes. Will Josh ever get serious consideration for being better than Mahomes without winning a Super Bowl? No. I bet on 4 things every year for 4 seasons in a row...Josh will win MVP, McD COY, Bills AFC Champions, Bills Super Bowl Champs. - McD was robbed of COY at least once. - Allen was robbed of MVP once and would have one it in another season if not for Rodgers historic season himself. - 13 Seconds robbed us at real shot of AFC Champs and SB Champs. So this year...I stopped betting. I bet on none of them. And the reason why is because I actually felt (and posted about this too) that this season could be Allens best ever in this new offense, and with lowered expectations that he had maybe his best shot ever at MVP and McD would have his best shot ever at COY if the Bills still dominate despite all the "player losses" and being a "transition year"...so I did not want to jinx it by betting on them again and decided I would rather not do it to increase the odds of it happening. Josh is gonna be MVP, McD might be COY, and the Bills are gonna at least reach the AFCCG. Your welcome for my sacrifice 😂

The 11.7 ypc is not evident of their ability down field, its evident of the game flow and play calls that have been working like clockwork. Josh isn't having any trouble connecting with guys down field outside of the 2 deep shots Allen just missed to a very open MVS that was on Allen, not the receivers. You want to have an inconsistent offense, focus on the deep ball, especially now. And the YPC is down across the entire league as teams are playing a lot more to take that away. You want to win consistently and in the postseason, then win up front, run the ball effectively, and have a great short to mid game because that will be over 95% of your plays every game. All of that opens up better opportunities on the deeper throws compared to an offense (see Daboll and Dorsey) that tried to always push the ball downfield and couldn't execute a run game or short area passing attacks effectively.

Mack is making a significant positive impact on this team so far despite some peoples refusal to admit it. He has made significant key blocks on the majority of our running and receiving TD's this season, he is catching his targets clean with soft hands, he is running good routes and his TD week 1 was a text book route. I am not surprised, its exactly what I said he would be for this team this year and understood the importance of such a roll in the system Brady wanted to run. Its unfortunate others prefer to stick to their negative bias about him rather than appreciate the positive aspects and contributions he has had so far. He has been one of my favorite players on the All-22, he is all over the field impacting the game in positive ways.

I think Taron has a chance for this week, but not totally positive on that. But as both have mentioned, neither was put on IR making it likely both are back in less time than 4 weeks That would put Taron likely back this week or next and Bernard likely back against Hou or Jets. So I will be curious to see what updates come on both of them throughout the week.

Im not “haranguing” anyone and I challenge you to find one post I have made about our 3-0 start that has lectured anyone about anything related to the 3-0 start. I have said in every post it’s early and still lot of football left and nothing has been proven in 3 games. So yeah, you’re barking up the wrong tree with this take.

Ah, nice as it’s usually us having to do stuff like that.

Ah, I haven’t checked their schedule. Although I would guess most people included the Commanders as part of that cupcake schedule and they still lost, so we will see how they respond.
