    A commonality among the Bills recent signings

    I'm not going to give the Bills hell about the way the season ended last year. Between the absurd string of personal tragedies that started as early as training camp and the spate of devastating injuries they suffered by the end of the year, it's a miracle they made it as far as they did.

    What I will give them hell about is that they were absolutely, positively physically intimidated by that Bengals team. It's undeniable and there is just no place for that on a ballfield for any reason whatsoever.

    So what do they do the week before they play the Bengals again?

     

    Add Linval Joseph, a widely respected leader and genuine badass who has spent his career as one of the biggest, strongest, toughest players in the league.

    Add Rasul Douglas, another respected leader and oversized, physical, aggressive player who has zero fear on a football field.

    Add Leonard Fournette, a brick shlthouse of a running back who would rather run through somebody than around them.

     

    This is absolutely not a co-incidence. 

    McBeane recognized the problem and took proactive steps to address it right before it was time to knock heads with these guys again.

     

    I like the moves to try to shore up some gaps in our lineup.   But I thought we were overhyping the Bengals ?  😛

    Could be a good week for the Bills. Lots of AFC/NFC games, hopefully we see a flip from last week. At least give a Fins loss...Bills could be back in first at the end of Sunday.

     

    Rooting interests:

     

    Saints over Jags

    Lions over Ravens

    Rams over Steelers

    Eagles over Fins

    Bears over Raiders

    Chiefs v Chargers - Go Chargers, but somebody will lose at least

    Colts v Browns - Go Colts, but somebody will lose at least


    yup.  Good week for the Bills.

    The NFL will have to figure out how it works into the cap, because now that the horse is out of the barn, it's only a matter of time until it really happens.

     

    To the bold, it's been established early in this thread that Williams' camp has never made such a request, and this was all BS reporting. Everyone can pump their breaks on judging him specifically.

     

    Ummm. The NFL banned giving out equity in the team earlier this year.   So your statement is ridiculous.

    Can't be an NFL villain if you haven't won anything.

     

    Chiefs are that team especially since the NFL has already predetermined that Mahomes is next Brady and they are going to get every call imaginable to continue winning superbowls in the coming years.

    Is the FilthyBeast handle taking a sabbatical ?

    Over-reaction Three Weeks In.... Offense seems disjointed

    Yep 75 points the last two weeks (7 by the defense) and a very scary Miami team this week.

     

    Yesterday was never in doubt, but face it the Bills only had 16 points entering the 4th.

     

    Been said in other threads and not ready to state this is a serious issue, but the Offense just seems a little off (and let's forget about the Jets game).

     

    Week two I commented the red zone was somewhat of a slog and while the Bills moved up and down the field, it was primarily dinks and dunks and little over the middle.  No screens, TE's seem underutilized and none of those 20 yard lasers Allen is great at. 

     

    Yesterday a great TD pass to Davis (his only catch of the day) and a few bb's to Diggs, three big scrambles by Josh and the last drive 64 yards rushing (with the game over), but again the offense I hope is a work in progress as I am not seeing a team firing on all cylinders. 

     

    As said hope it is just an over-reaction.

     

      


    I believe we can boil your complaint down to Josh Allen didn’t pass for 300 yards.

    Stat to ponder: Josh Allen: 3 rushes for 7 yards.

    In seasons past this stat line would have been a disaster.  Sure is nice to have a running game that does not flow through the QB.

     

    I like "Patient" Josh.

     


    It’s nice to see the offense rebound and establish the run while minimizing Josh’s rushes. But let’s see how things are when they face another elite  D line like Dallas.  The Raiders are average  at best 

    Josh is accurate

    Highest completion percentage through 2 games of any QB in the NFL with 40 or more passing attempts.

     

    76.9%

     

     Completion percentage by itself is a misleading  stat .  Josh ‘s passer rating for that Jets Monday night game was very bad (62.6)  due to the many times he tuned the ball over

    Have we all taken our deep breaths yet?

     

    Let's be honest, the Bills have wildly shifted their offensive philosophy. I understand it didn't necessarily look like that in the game against the Jets, but the Bills went from being the team with the lowest percentage of 12 personnel in the NFL last season to being the highest in week 1.

     

    That signals a massive offensive philosophy shift.

     

    But obviously it didn't look like that on the field, which was really just because of poor choices by Josh yesterday.

     

    Josh played what I think was his worst game in the NFL yesterday.

     

    So what? Disregard his previous 5 years? It took 5 years, but suddenly he's figured out?

     

    Idiotic.

     

    Josh will have bad games in the future obviously, but I think he needs to get his feet under him in this offensive philosophy. The Jets, in hindsight, may have been the worst team to trot out a new offensive philosophy and try to get comfortable against.

     

    It was Monday night on September 11th in the general metropolitan area and the atmosphere was clearly electric. Hero Ball from Josh seemed almost inevitable looking back on it.

     

    On top of all this, Sean McDermott is calling the defense (with a brand new young MLB) for the first time ever as Head Coach... mighta been an issue... particularly on an 83 yard run where everyone was misaligned.

     

    I was actually impressed with the play of Bernard and especially Benford on our D.

     

     

    I just think this idea that this national narrative in the offseason that "the Bills didn't improve because they stayed the same" is, at best, half true.

     

    We still have to wait to see if the Bills improved... but a lot has changed:

     

    Shift to 12 personnel 

    All the offensive philosophies that go with that

    Shift to HC as DC (How much is he in Josh's ear)

    2 new OL

    New QB of the Defense in Bernard 

    New CB2

    etc.

    yup.  Time to start up this year’s Josh Allen MVP thread.

    Taped the game & now refuse to watch it

    Friend invited me to see Peter Gabriel (yes we're dinosaurs😉) and agreed without thinking (and no way to back out).

     

    So the plan was to tape and watch when I got home and fast forward a chunk of the game.

     

    Son texts me about Rodgers injury (@ 8:20) and a cart being called and thus know he's out and figure it will now be a blowout.

     

    Leaving game friend sees the the game on TV in a bar through the window and stops as it is the last 10 seconds, I tell him I'm watching at home since taped, but now it's ruined as obviously a close game and I see Bass tie it.

     

    Since there now is no point and disgusted that the Bills have put up all of 16 points listen on the radio and then some commentary on the ride home.

     

    Nothing to say, will peak here during the week, ignore most of the talking heads and am shaking my head in disbelief.  

     

    Simply put they better put up 35+ vs. the Raiders.

     

    The Bills averaged 18.5 points last year against a Jets team led by Mike White and Zach Wilson.   Not sure how you figured it would be a blowout this year against basically the same defense

    Didn’t a whole bunch of folks here used to rave about Mike McCarthy being a QB guru  during his Green Bay days .With such luninaries as Matt Flynn, Brian Brohm,  and Graham Harrell passing through his tutelage and achieving stardom  , why not Trey Lande .
