My only issue is, the play action, watching the game back was money even if it didn't hit the deep shots. It opened the underneath stuff, at least. I think this could have been used more effectively in the 3rd quarter on 1st down. We saw stacked boxes and ran into them anyways. Ravens knew we wanted to bleed the clock and their 2nd half adjustment to that, was very good. I just thought Brady didn't adjust to what the Ravens did. Saying that, I thought the Ravens had a very good 2nd half defensively.

He's a liability, on a few plays where he was in man coverage, on a slick snowy surface, which is an advantage to the reciever and oh yea, when the defensive line could get not pressure? Did I get that right? Yea are aware he didn't play in the first Ravens match up and the Bills were trounced, correct?

I politely disagree, you tush push on 3rd down. Josh is good for at least a yard, sometimes more. You certainly don't start him 3 yards behind the LOS, in a congested area of the field. They have multiple variations of the tush push as well, where Allen can slide down the line and then push. You don't have to run it the same way. When you get the yard on 3rd down, you get another on 4th. Saying that, the right call was the FG after the failed 3rd down play.

Didn’t love the gameplan from Brady, especially the 2nd half.

And Barkley wasn't going to be challenging the rushing record on this past years Giants team, so it's not like we'd be watching him rush for 2000 yards on the Giants instead of the Eagles.

While that's true, they still went 0-3 to start the season and some of that does fall on Anarumo.

Lost to the Patriots at home to open this season and allowed a really poor Pittsburgh offense, in beginning of December, to produce more than 500 yards of offense. That same Pittsburgh team on a 4 game losing streak.

And this is why Robert Kraft is a moron. You knew you were going to do this and let Mayo walk out there and coach a team to a victory. When you had the 1st seed locked up, and you knew you were going to fire him, why not fire him then? Why give him another game? Who are you trying to not look dysfunctional for? If you want Vrabel, fire Mayo... tank the last game and go get Vrabel.

Desperate teams do desperate things. They don't know what to do and are searching everywhere...

Was an OG in the Shoutbox, when I used to spend most of my time there. Always positive and optimistic about the Bills. Condolences to his family.

Agreed. Within this offense and this system, I've been impressed with Allen. His decision making has been very good and when he's asked to put on the cape, he can still do it. Obviously would like better outside threats to open up the offense but you can't really fault Allen's play this year, last week withstanding. I'm hoping this is just transition/reload year offense and not what the Bills do going forward.

Agreed, and I may be biased but I love Leeds United when they play Kaiser Chiefs “I Predict a Riot” after home wins. Helps that Kaiser Chiefs are from Leeds but it’s also an easy chorus to sing and the stadium goes absolutely nuts.

I’d consider putting Mason Rudolph in

I think some fans have a hard time understanding that the QB position isn't just throwing the ball. A QB can be above average or even elite but not be particularly elite at passing. The QB position has always had the ability to become a runner. Lamar Jackson is an elite runner at the QB position. He's not an elite passer but he's also not completely crap either. I'd say he's probably in the 7-15 range of passers in the NFL. He's either 1 or 2 in running, depending how you rate Allen. As a whole at the postion those 2 measurables put him easily in the top 10 and for me maybe just outside the top 5 at his position. If you have to designate a player on the defensive side of the ball to spy a player, I just don't think that makes you below-average. His running ability has to be game planned for.

Absolutely a mess. No direction at moment. Not that I'm feeling sorry for Chelsea scum.
