    Isn't it up to the OC to help the QB improve his game?

    This is something I dont get about fans. Even if we admit that Josh is the primary reasons that things arent working we arent gonna fire Josh! So maybe, just maybe, we can get an OC that works better with Josh. Maybe not but better to try and see then keep trying to jam the same square peg through the same round hole 2 years in a row.

  2. Allens biggest flaw is that hes not as good as Mahomes. Bills fans want Buffalo to be wire to wire SB favorites over multiple years. The reality is that is exceedingly difficult. Reserved for the Pats and current Chiefs of the world. Teams have down years even with good QBs, think Big Ben & Brees. For that class of QB its about finding the right combination of team and luck in a year and it all coming together. Im sure year-to-year people in Pitt and NOLA were frustrated that werent as consistent as Tom or Manning. But in retrospect, that era is remembered fondly because they got their SBs.

     

    Allen is a very very very good QB. His careers will have ups and downs, twists and turns. The reality is that the Allen era will be about winning 1 in his career, not 3-5.

     

    I am totally fine with that.

    Your point is dull.

    Clearly math or use of internet search is too.

    Result: 10,293 days

    It is 10,293 days from the start date to the end date, but not including the end date.

    Or 28 years, 2 months, 5 days excluding the end date.

     

    He is actually 29, Sal asked him straight up because his ProfootballReference and wikipedia has different DOB.

    I'm fully convinced our first super bowl win is going to be as a 6 seed during a season everyone here hates, getting 2 playoff games in Florida to tune up and get hot for @ KC  

     

    Actually, it's sorta lining up that way right now hehe

    I have said the same thing to my friends, that I oddly feel better about our chances for a SB this year than I did last year. It is exceedingly rare to be a wire-to-wire contender and then ultimately win the SB.

     

    Get in and get hot. You can find a flaw with every AFC contender right now.

    This is what the post said 

    "Guys, Beane is asleep at the wheel"-clueless BBMB trolls

     

    Key word being clueless. 

     

    I just find it entertaining that people are called clueless when they want Beane to make a move. Some people just want to defend whatever the Bills are doing at all cost. Its a your opinion is bad until the Bills do what you say. Why cant people think for themselves and let others think as well. 

    its clueless for saying hes "asleep at the wheel"  before everything was done. Not clueless for wanting him to sign someone. Everyone wanted him to sign someone.

    Confusion...So people are trolls for wanting the Bills to make a move for a guy like Joseph. But then the Bills sign Joseph the people that wanted him are clueless trolls? Makes no sense...

     

    BBMB "Troll" - The Bills need to sign a guy like Linval Joseph 

    BBMB "non-Troll" - The Bills dont need to do anything. This roster is stacked and I trust Beane. You are a clueless troll. 

     

    Bills sign Joseph...

    BBMB "non-Troll" - Great move by Beane. I hope this shuts up the clueless trolls. Beane knows what he is doing. 

    Did you deliberately choose to contort what the post said or was it just a natural victim complex.

     

    Non troll: The Bills need to sign a guy like Linval Joseph and I am optimistic that Beane will do so. And if we dont sign him I will assume it is for a valid reason.

     

    Troll: The Bills need to sign a guy like Linval Joseph and we havent yet because Beane is asleep at the wheel, of course he didnt sign anyone. Other teams get better but not us. Fire Beane.

    So you’re saying they didn’t manhandle us for 5 quarters especially their offense vs our defense?  Not saying the Bills can’t win on sunday night but you’ve offered up no reasons why it will be different than last year.  

    The Bengals offense has been MUCH worse this year compared to last year. Yea I know Joe was injured, but hes not the first QB to have an injury. He was playing bottom-tier football. Negative EPA-per-play football!

     

    Maybe the SF game was the spark they needed and they will go on to dominate the rest of the way. But they also showed flashes of being "back" against the Ravens and Cardinals and then reverted to bad play again. Im just not ready to say theyve righted the ship based on one game. Many teams can ball out for one game and then play bad the next. Look at us against Miami and then what followed.

    When they run the ball well it all clicks for them.  Bottling up mixon and the run game is usually pretty key to putting them behind the sticks.  Burrow getting healthy adds the threat of a scramble that was missing to start the year on those 3rd and mediums.  He's still going to throw it underneath if its there - need to rally to the ball and tackle well.  

     

    They also have been generating takeaways.  Need to win the turnover battle first - but this game will come down to 3rd downs and red zone too.  

    Im interested to see our dime package with Po as the box safety against Cincy. Seems like a good counter against their WRs. But as you say the key will be winning at the LOS. If we can do that consistently and force some longer 3rd downs I think we can get to them. Im also hopeful for a well-times blitx here and there that McD has shown thus far. The D was really rattled after the injuries but its inevitable that improve with more time to as a unit. They looked much better against TB than they did against NYG and NE, which were worse offenses. Cincy looked dominant last week but they have shown flashes of their "true form" a couple times this year only to then revert the next game.

     

    I am really optimistic that the offense will continue to look good.

    That is a bold statement considering how the Bills have played over the last four games.

     

    When the Bengals were struggling Burrows was dealing with a bad ankle.  He is healthy now and Josh is nursing a damaged wing.

     

    This will be an amazing win if we can pull it off.

     

    Looking over our remaining schedule I could see us finishing 10 - 7.  Not sure if that would get us into the playoffs.

    Its not that bold. Even if you focus on the last 4 weeks we are the better offense. There is almost no stat the Bengals/Burrow are better at even in the limited set of last 4 games. This is why you cant just extrapolate out of one game. The Bengals were BAD against the Seahawks.

     

    After the Miami I thought we might never lose again...things change. Now this doesnt mean Im guaranteeing a win but we have been the better offense to this point in the season.

    I'd say playing the Bengals this week has the same level of anxiety as a matchup with the Chiefs, or the Eagles, would have. It's good competition, and the result is really anybody's game. The Bengals are definitely not looking at this as a 'game they should win' and neither are we. They've put together some good games and some absolute clunkers, so have the Bills.

    Yea Im anxious as well. being 6-3 in the log-jam AFC will help tremendously. I think we are the better team. We are the better offense pretty much across the board.

     

    Cincy played great on Sunday, lets see if they can continue it.

    Home advantage line for years has been 1.5 so Vegas is basically saying it’s an even game.  I watched the Bengals game yesterday and they look more complete than us right now.  That doesn’t mean the Bills can’t come out like they played in the Dolphins game.  This will be our toughest test.

    Its also only one game. They have looked downright bad many times this season, including one week prior. Much worse than Buffalo.

     

    We will see Sunday.

    Cincy may be good but people are hypin them up a bit too much from that one win…if SF was looking dominant leading up to that bengals game it would be a different story. 
     

    really they just beat a mediocre at best team by two scores who amassed a ton of yards and had a couple boneheaded turnovers. Sf almost outgained their previous two games combined in this one. I’m expecting a shootout on Sunday that could go either way based on red zone success.  

    Cincy looked like most expected them to look all season yesterday. But this was FAR and away their best game of the year. This is a week to week league. Our offense looked unstoppable against Miami and quite good leading up to that, and then sputtered. A lot of teams can look great for one week and then not the next. Cincy is absolutely stoppable.

     

    Will we stop them? Who knows. But to imply its a foregone conclusion seems silly. And our should continue to improve on what we established Thus.

  13. The offense played much better, it was obvious to anyone that watched. Im a big proponent of EPA/play but it doesnt encapsulate the EPA that was generated in-structure vs out of structure and how the offense looked overall. Everything against NE felt hard. The entire offense was Josh beating a rushing, rolling right and looking for someone downfield. Yesterday was executed much more in structure. Yes the second half wasnt great, drives stalled. But the offense played better than they had in the last three weeks.

     

    Now... I do think the offense played better against NE than people want to admit. So while they played better it may not be *that* much better.

    Honestly, if anyone is going from starter to inactive in one week it's likely Dorian Williams IMO. Not predicting it, but based on the fact that rookies find the dog house much quicker than vets on this team it wouldn't shock me either.

    lol so many people jumping to Gabe and a pending trade in the replies. I think its going to be much more mundane and DWill is my guess too. But whoever it is I would bet it is not anything that groundbreaking
