That was hilarious

I have no problem with Brown doing that whatsoever. Just hoping that creates a spark here and we can get some consistency going. That was a great drive.

Look....I get it. They see these guys day in and day out and we don't so we can't see for ourselves what is happening in practice. But, I just don't understand why Hamler can't get a shot. A guy like Shavers gets called up multiple times and I am not sure he has made more than 1 or 2 catches for us. I actually can't think of any off the top of my head. Hamler, although he has battled through a ton of injuries, was at one point a 2nd round pick, showed that, when healthy anyways, that he could make plays in this league. He offers elite speed that is lacking on this team as well. Now do I expect any of these guys to have any type of a major impact on this team or in this game, including Hamler? No. I don't. But I guess I would like to see a different element in the offense to see what it looks like. I wouldn't be even bringing this up if we were getting anything of note from Samuel, but when we are lining up with Shakir and Hollins as our 2 top WRs, I am more apt to want to swing for the fences with a guy we haven't seen that does at least offer something different. Whatever, though. Like I said, they see these guys every day and know what they offer. There must be a reason they like Shavers better even though he hasn't offered much on the field. I am guessing it's probably that Shavers is a better blocker in the run game, but call me crazy, I'd like my WRs to catch the ball once in a while as well. But hey, that's just me. I was completely expecting this to happen, so it's not a surprise at all.

These discussions are so hard because of the eras and the differences in the game. Kelly and his draft class really were among the first to make passing a bigger part of the sport, even though if you look at the run/pass breakdowns, it is a lot closer to 50-50 than you might think. Also, defenses were pretty much allowed with murder on the field back then. Different game today. Everyone is throwing the ball all over the place, as you should, because that's how the rules have gone. Passing is encouraged and you can't touch the QBs and hardly even touch the WRs at this point. Great throwers of the ball back then would probably still be great today because they can't be touched in today's league. That said, you have to maybe be a little more athletic at the position with the way the game is trending now. But, could the guys today hold up to the physical pounding they would have taken back in day? Some of them could for sure, but not everyone. It's just so hard to say and compare. In terms of just comparing Kelly to Allen, though, it's real close. I am as big a Kelly guy as there is, but Allen plays with the same heart and the same tenacity which is why we love him. Is Allen there yet? Maybe. But Allen also, God willing, has several more years ahead of him to get there. He will undoubtedly own every meaningful franchise record by the time he's done. The fact of the matter is this. The minute Allen hoists the Lombardi Trophy and brings this city it's first championship, he goes down as the greatest Buffalo Bill of all time. He passes Thurman, Kelly, Bruce.....everyone. The second he wins a title, he becomes the GOAT for this franchise, and, by the time's it's over, one of the best the league has ever seen.

Yup....I put him on the bench to go with Tua because I expected this game to be in the teens most of the way. My worst decision of the season so far. It's a Super Flex league so I still have Allen to play, but with the WRs we are going to be fielding, I am not sure that is going to go well. Just a terrible decision by me.

Really not liking how this is shaping up on offense this week. Looking like Shakir and Hollins as our WRs. We thought we were thin at WR before. Man.....this isn't ideal. That said, while I doubt it will happen, I'd like to see KJ Hamler get some run and try to add so speed to the position. But he has kind of been the forgotten man to this point. Wasn't even the 2nd WR elevation. But we really could use someone to stretch the field and the guys we have just don't do that.

Allen with tears in his eyes talking about Bass in his post game field interview. I feel so good for everyone involved. The defense on the other hand isn't beating anyone good that is committed to running the ball. Our defensive line just isn't built for it. With our cap situation, I am not sure Beane is ready to go out and do something about it before the deadline either. We really need a run stuffing DT, though. Badly.....

Watching that kick again, that was good from 70+. Bass just said screw everything and just kicked the ball as hard as he could. Best kick, maybe outside of the Lions game, of his career.

Not gonna lie...... As much crap as I give Bass, most of it rightly deserved, I have a couple tears in my eyes because of how happy I am for him. I love the win..... But man, I am so happy for the person after all he's gone through. Hopefully, this gets him his swagger back. GO BILLS!

GROOOOOOOT

I actually couldn't feel better for the guy...... Now, we have to finish the game.

HOLY FREAKING CRAP......

Ugh......needed the first there. Don't like this at all.

That should have been PI too.....

BIG FLAG!!!!! Thank you for your sacrifice Rook.....

Needed to snap that ball..... Come on....

Bass is already in his own head. You can tell. But we might not even give him a chance at this point.

Defense was crap all day. Going to be up to our offense to find a way because I don't trust Bass at all.

Defense is putrid. Going to have to try and win this one on offense whether they go for 2 or not.

Defense hasn't stopped them the entire game. Going to have to find a way to get at least one......

WOW Allen's just a freak of nature. Bass, of course, tries to blow it.

Untouched....... But again, no holding calls on that drive doesn't help. Refs doing all they can to gift Miami a win.

Bad challenge, but the defense needs to regroup anyway. Whatever. Just terrible defense.

Major holding again..... No call.

Nice play by Elam. Tough break....
