Social media is downfall of society. I believe that 100%.If you missed last night's 60 Minutes story on a Facebook whistle blower, it's internal research on their negative impacts and how their algorithms create information loops that boost user time on their platform, seek it out. 100% is right on.

It's a good thing that social media did not coexist with our beloved '90s Bills. It would not have gone well.

As soon as he makes a catch, Beeeeeez is what I hear sitting in section 228. Fans do not wait for the PA to announce his name, they know it as it happens. Now maybe there is some crap directed his way during the game as he is on the sidelines and within earshot, but it's on him if he either can't or doesn't realize he needs to distinguish the difference between the two. Many of those willing to overlook his mixed politics/vaccine stance (the majority, imo) are not likely to appreciate being wrongly accused. I bet his tweet will get some national run.

Often times, mobile QBs who have an affinity to extend plays end up making an OL look bad. Big Ben did that in his prime. I remember Mike Vick with the Eagles complaining about the nature of the hits he was taking. My thought was that small, indecisive and unaware was no way to play QB in the NFL. Sort of the Dean Woermer take about going through like fat, drunk and stupid.
Josh is big, aware and decisive and it masks many of the mistakes the line has been making. It's rare to see him take a blindside hit. TJ Watt got him in game 1, I can't think of another. One unblocked defender is rarely enough to get him down. Sometimes 3 can't. Makes me think that the problems they had with the Chiefs last year were more about what was happening downfield than about Josh being under duress. Our receivers were injured and could not get open when physically challenged.

I can't remember any games from last year where he dished out pain like he's doing this year. I saw him do it in college but not so much last year. If you can point out any like his 2 TD runs against the Dolphins I'd love to go bac and take a look.
Moss started his rookie year with turf toe. I really appreciate the things Moss does well and what it means to an offense in key situations. Fred Jackson-like but with better ball security. I think Zack has only 2 fumbles as a Bill.

Ammusing I guess as it sums up a large majority of Patriot bandwagon fans.
I highly doubt if McD, Beane and Allen brought us 6 SB championships between 2002-2019 we would be A$$hats to McD/Beane post Allen.
But, if we believed that Sean had a hand in Josh's premature departure and then he went and won another Super Bowl elsewhere......

As for Zack Moss he is good to great on all the RB things that matter most to me. I think we missed him against KC in the AFCC.

I feel like the Bills should start game planning to intentionally allow one pass rusher into the pocket. Allen makes his best throws in those situations.
It does seem that one pass rush win is not enough to wreck a play. Josh beats that all the time. When multiple rushers win maybe they ruin the play but not always. I think of Josh fighting off 3 Rams or making 3 Broncos whiff. He handles free rushers so well that we almost think nothing of it.

Texans +16.5 for week 4. Could that go higher?

Of the 15% of season and single game tickets once held by Canadians who still can't cross the border and the thousands likely held by never vaxxers who will likely lose money to hold onto their seats, the resale market prices have dropped and it has become and will remain a buyer's market. That's my read of what's been going on over the last month and how it will affect the numbers for resale and their prices going forward. There is now a big portion of those normally wanting to attend who are now out of the ticket buying market.

Honestly, the OP looks like a troll job. Epenesa was hitting Tagovailoa as the ball was leaving, not a late hit. It was not too high, not too low. When they landed Epenesa was perpendicular across his chest, but he was on his hands and knees in a crawl position and did not look as if he was putting weight on Tua. It could not have been much cleaner unless Tua still had a hold of the ball going down.
His hand and knees were off the ground when he landed on top of him but were soon in contact thereafter. This is the best I can find but, once again, it's tough to put in sequence although I doubt AJ is getting up at this point.

As much as he tried to avoid it, I thought he landed with all of his weight on Tua.
OK. I do not normally see things the same way but this time Gugny has a point. When AJ lands on Tua his arms and knees are off the ground, effectively full body weight chest to chest. What is different is that AJ is "Tee-d off" as his lower body swung to the side which isn't the normal position that draws the flag. His arms were wrapped behind but he pulls them out before impact with the ground. Knees are off the ground too but it was not the classic "body surfing" position that usually draws the flag. I know the Bills coaches were teaching a "gator roll" after the initial hit so the defender's body would land beside the QB's. AJ did not do that move. I hate to say it, but Gugny has a point.
A rushing defender is prohibited from committing such intimidating and punishing acts as “stuffing” a passer into the ground or unnecessarily wrestling or driving him down after the passer has thrown the ball, even if the rusher makes his initial contact with the passer within the one-step limitation provided for in (a) above. When tackling a passer who is in a defenseless posture (e.g., during or just after throwing a pass), a defensive player must not unnecessarily or violently throw him down or land on top of him with all or most of the defender’s weight. Instead, the defensive player must strive to wrap up the passer with the defensive player’s arms and not land on the passer with all or most of his body weight.

Not that it really matters, but I was surprised to see Trubisky carry out the (usually) trivial final kneel downs at the end of the game.
In considering pros and cons of having the (cold) backup QB handle this duty, I couldn't think of any pros (give Josh a rest?), but I can think of a con: A fumbled snap.
Wouldn't it be better for the already-warmed up starter, who has been taking handoffs from Morse all game, to handle the final duties?
I suspect that would enter their thinking if they were not up by 5 possessions. A lead that big alters almost all normal game concerns.

OK, for our collective education, McCourty, who caught him at the goal line, ran a 4.3 at his pro day in 2009. Rookie Jevon Holland ran a 4.47 at his pro day and he did not gain any ground on Devin. I do not know how much running with a football would slow him down but he seems objectively faster than his 4.66 time at the combine.
It's odd to me that all the combine and pro day testing we hear about at draft time is such a big story but we never hear of it again during the rest of their NFL careers. Do the Bills have guys like Devin and AJ retest to see how their off season work has affected their athletic testing? Wouldn't they want to monitor their progress? We never hear any chatter of it so it's likely they do not do it. I asked Joe Marino about that for his pod and he said that he never hears anything of that sort either.

Im all for taunting penalties. I thought Levi’s yesterday was borderline. Id be interested to know what he said as he flexed and looked down at him. That may have influenced the outcome.
Good point. The visuals may or may not look bad but the audio may be what cross the line. Although Josh's stare down and ball spin vs. the Chargers needed no verbal communication.

Hey BB I reposted your Haiku in the Miami Haiku thread. I thought it needed to see the light of day again as it was very creative.

Oof! That was based on an AFc vs. NFC thing. Try again next year.

The question is provocative but the results they got based on formation are facts. They chose to do more of something they were worse at in that game and less of something they were better at. My own bias is that I do not like 4-5 wides as the base of an offense. That goes back to the days of the run and shoot and watching it fail in some spectacular ways. I am ok with the designed QB runs because standing still in the pocket is a riskier thing to do and has produced some of the worst QB injuries we have seen.
His best argument is that this is not a 1 game trend but 3 going back to last year. Have another good game against the Dolphins and this goes away.

The thing is, when you factor out points that derive directly from turnovers, the Bills scored 14, 19, and 13 points vs. the Steelers in 2019, 2020, and 2021. And 7 of those 19 points in 2020 came after the Steelers punter shanked a punt that set the Bills up at the Steelers 40 yard line. Basically, the Steelers' defense is a terrible matchup for the Bills.
I think the article was fair and largely positive but lacked the historical perspective you have provided here. It's an A+ point.

They got greedy on the 4th and 1 and wanted to hit for a chunk play. We all would have been happy with a new set of downs but tried for a home run. Posts correctly point out that the motion brought Sutton into a spot where Gilliam could not make the block instead of following him. I wonder if that should have killed the play call and Josh missed it. The Steelers were in the right spot to blow it up and the Bills coaxed them there.

Was Allen off some yesterday and feeling that Pittsburgh rush? Yes for sure!
Now -
Did EITHER team remotely complete any short OR long TOUCH PASSES with any consistency?
Did any of you see fairly common throws from both QB's go over the head of the target or even suddenly into the dirt?
If you answered No and Yes you are correct, AND isn't that odd that both QB's seemed affected equally with those?
Last question - did any of you who attended the game throw the football around in the parking lot at all, or see any who were doing so?
Just asking. There are many factors that affect each game uniquely.
Those complaining about ball location on throws 20+ yards down field will not get your point.
1 minute ago, BTB said:So, the comparable for Josh is a way over the hill Grandpa Ben?
No. A touch pass by any QB lacks power thus any QB can throw them. Even by the wannabes in the parking lot. But you can't really control ball placement of a touch pass on a day with a steady ~20 mph wind therefore we saw very few in the game. I believe that was 34-78-83's point. Ben tried 2 downfield that were of the touch variety and got a jump ball win by Claypool and a DPI call on Wallace that was severely under thrown. Neither were located well. Josh tried ripping 6x? and only got 1 completion. Over throws to Diggs and Sanders, a nice back shoulder splitting two defenders to Davis, the flea flicker to Diggs that was a last instant PBU, 1 to Sanders hands that was not secured prior to the defensive hit. Even the one he completed to Davis was not in a spot where Davis could get RAC yards.

He has had 2 fumbles in every season opener for the last 3 years. Maybe a direct result of having the ball in his hands so much and never being hit in preseason work. Mindset of taking hits and protecting the ball comes with failing and then doing it over and over. It really can't be simulated.

Moss did not allow a sack in pass protection. Maybe one pressure? I value that.
What was up with Beasley today?

Fans line One Bills Drive at the end of the game and try to get autographs and player memorabilia. There was a video of Josh giving a kid his hat or something on his drive out after the WFT. The assumption I make is that Cole stopped along that stretch of road to sign and then got the harassing comments.
