This has been talked about to a degree, often somewhat implicit in two viewpoints: (1) we're a modern pass heavy offense, who cares about the run, vs (2) it's frustrating that we can't rely on our run game to get 1 yard when we need it (QB sneaks notwithstanding). But I also think Allen is at his best when he throws a lot. In August 2019 we discussed it as it related to developing a young QB, and I think it may have been borne out since then (yes, linking my own old thread is a bit LAMPy but I'm still interested in the topic and I've only created one other topic between Aug2019 and now so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯). All this is to say, while I am a bit frustrated by our running game in certain contexts, I am wary of overcommitting. And not just because we move the ball more effectively when we pass, but because I think Allen passes the ball better when we go pass heavy. I wonder if this is just an arm chair takeaway, and that it's more about the opponent/defense we face, or if there is validity to it.

Don't put em on a pedestal. Today is a good day but it will be another good day when they're actually last in the AFCE.

Totally. I feel good about the game this weekend...and because the Bills always kick me in the nuts when I feel good about the team...I feel bad about this weekend. BBFS whiplash lol

All it takes is one good draft pick. I hope it never comes. ***** em.

They'd hold one later in the year or close to the next season's opener imo. I'll be flying back to Buffalo fer sure.

I think we're a horse-in-the-light-of-day at this point.

Hell yeah. Great news. Congrats Beane!

He seems a bit bratty, for lack of a better word. But my take, like Bart Scott's, is flimsy and based on shallow cues.

I've watched both performances. Baker had a great day, no doubt. But Josh's performance looked a cut above. Total control, field general, the best player on the grass by a mile.

Hate em. Oh well.

I would have understood if Mcdermott had benched him for the remainder of the game. Inexcusable mistake which he'll definitely learn from. Hope we see him break out soon.

It will take a Superbowl win for casuals to "respect" the Bills.

I was glad they sat him last night, and wouldn't have minded if he didn't come back in at all. He made an inexcusable mistake, but I think he's paid his price. I'm higher on Singletary than most, I think, and was glad to have him last night.

Sure wish the Stillers had won today. Ah well, we'll just have to beat them anyway!

An outrageous stat. He's so ***** good.

Couldn't agree more. About time. I expect it to continue throughout the rest of the season.

In seriousness, that was my moment too. I still can't believe he squeezed it between those defenders. And I was so upset about drafting him.

Defending their long ball will be the question, imo.

This all day. Someone earlier called it boring. Sure wasn't boring to me! Professional through and through. Couldn't be stopped.

I was sold back when he was still plowing canteloupe fields in the Central Valley heat.

Sure was a pleasure to watch. Biggest bummer was having to punt in garbage time. I'd say it's a tolerable gaff, all things considered ;).

Yeah, but no one has said that in decades! San Fran is the new "Frisco," lol. Regardless, I'm just thrilled that the Bills are a real NFL franchise again. It's December and we're fending off competition for the division title!

I'm always surprised that "San Fran" is what folks from 49 states call SF. Regardless, I'm feeling like we finally put it all together and squash the 9ers.

Absolutely. And I'm eager to see how it shakes out when Milano is back (in terms of how and when they use Klein).

You were a Bills fan by then, correct? Or was this a pivotal game in your fandom? Was trying to recall.
