in my fuzzy memory during the Kelly glory years, on downs like 3rd and 2, everyone in the stadium knew Thurman was running the ball, and he would always get the first. As I said, fuzzy memory.

it was not running. it was stopped at 26 seconds. in any case, they would not have run a sneak on first down. I dont think i would like that either.

made this old geezer turn the channel.

this halftime show is brutal

You miss the point, if the refs had done it correctly to start, the clock would have been running and it would have been first down. Not likely they would have run up and run a sneak.

They had stopped the clock for "out of bounds" but that was not what happened.

The saints missed the opportunity to get to the line to clock the ball. might have been less than 10 seconds, but not by much.

Saints don't get the calls do they.

we differ here. The ultimate goal is only achieved when they can't stop it.

oh no

Not sure. I think the ultimate goal is to get to the point of "we want to do this, try to stop it". But clearly reading defenses and adjusting "what the QB wants to do" is a big part of that.

You should not use the R word.

Did anyone ask Beasley?

Lets set execution, play calling and mistakes aside. I noted an important philosophical shift for the Bills yesterday. The went from being a team who tries to gain 10 yards in 3 downs, to a team that views itself as having 3 downs to make a 10 yard play. This is exactly the approach that teams with top QBs take, most notably the Patriots. A complete abandonment of "playing for field position". With Josh Allen's special talents and a defense that can stop most offenses, the Bills have the luxury of "going for it" on pretty much every down. I think the team wanted to do this last year, but the Oline did not allow it. Against an opponent like the Jets, the Oline was sufficient. I was not impressed with the Jets defensive game plan or pass rush, so I am not sure how they will do against better teams. But I don't think we will be seeing any 3 yards and a cloud of dust or many check down plays this season. I think there is a lot of work the Bills need to do on the details, but philosophically I think are doing the right thing now.

Our entire system of government depends on this very concept.

Personalty wise Josh Allen is my favorite Bill since Jim Kelly. He has some special gifts. His upside is huge. I am concerned about the coaching around him. I know that is not a popular view, but I still have concerns.

when evaluating yesterday's game, you first remove the Bills worst five plays and then you can do a proper analysis. Worrying about a Jets players drop is a job for the Jets fan forums.

why, it is not even right. The correct version of standings (which is not all the same as power rankings) would be 1. Buffalo 1. New England 4. Miami 4. Jets or including tie breakers 1. New England 2. Buffalo 3. Jets 4. Miami.

Maybe the the titled is mispelled "grateful" instead of "hateful". could have been done on an iphone.

I thought we played the Jets yesterday and won by one. My bad.

So you sayng we squeeked out with a one point win over an 0-7 team. that does not seem so good.

Lets hope Mr. Daboll is not a ghost writer for pff.

Based on week 1, all that I know is the Bills are better than the Jets. The Bills could very well be the best team in football and the Jets the second best. But currently that is not my perception.

These are good examples of facts.
