Sammy Watkins' Rib

Man that SOV Combined with point differential is god awful. Let’s go Buffalo.

The two biggest drops in the game we’re both by far from bills receivers in the end zone. Those two drops cost the bills what, 8 or 11 points combined? Never even should’ve been a five point game with seven minutes left. I’m pretty sure they were 19 - 20 mph winds in the first game last year too. Bills ran the hell out of the ball that game.

Finheaven is great for laughs. Really got to bite my tongue when reading their nonsense. Here we are talking about Allen being in the running for MVP two years running now and they are over there like "See this is the real Allen. His 2020 MVP runner up year was a fluke." Apparently not realizing Allen is once again on track to be runner up MVP again in 2021. The funniest thing is they think Tua is a god because he can complete 80% of his passes every other game. Apparently Allen completing 65% of his passes is trash.

If the bills offense can ever figure out how to consistently dink and dunk the ball they will be unstoppable. Josh Allen will win four or five MVPs. Those dump offs to Singleterry in the first half it seemed in particular were a thing of beauty.

So we are going conservative today. Could be a smart move or dumb move. My crystal ball has an exactly been working lately.

2 yards and a cloud of dust. Let’s hope he can break out.

Yeah. I didn’t get that at all. What am I missing? Is it the dreaded and over exaggerated bad snap or hold? I guess they changed holders. But still seems like by far your best chance to get a TD. Lol. Yes.

Our offense is going to be significantly worst then the first game just in terms of personnel. The weather conditions will be better for the offense but that goes for the Patriots offense too. We will need to hold the Pats offense to under 20 again. I predict a close game but these certainly are not the conditions I expected going into this game. Bills are significantly hamstrung. Dawkins is the major issue if he is out.

This is true. Definitely better if they are missing Harris. Unfortunately he'll probably be playing.

They may blow. But it basically puts us down to a third string guard. Who could in fact be even worse. But yeah Dawkins is the big one. Really need Harris to somehow be inactive for the game now. Bolden doesn't seem like a guy that can beat us on one play like Harris can.

Agholor and Bourne both being out is huge. It's still no way an even playing field with the Bills likely missing Dawkins, Feliciano and Ford on top of Beasley and Davis. But it at least prevents it from being a very heavy personnel advantage for the Patriots. But maybe I should hold my breath because Bourne could theoretically test off the covid list i think. But probably unlikely. LOL. Ah, friggin great.

Interesting. So why isn't the NFL postponing those games? They're just making stuff up as they go? Was there any official rule that came out regarding the three games that were postponed last week? Like "x" number of players on the list would trigger a postponement? But postponing was dumb anyways because hardly any players made it back from the list with the extra two days.

With posts like this, thank God the OP only averages about 8 posts a year.

Plus the defense is basically entirely healthy minus Tre of course. They need to start creating turnovers again.

Heck, he might be out the Atlanta game then.

Lewan? No. And he has been out with a back injury anyways I think.

Good point. But even when they postponed the Browns game a couple days I think the Browns only got like 1 player back. Better than nothing though I guess?

O-5 in one score games. 0-3 in games where the Bills had the ball goal to go to win it in the final minute. That folks, is the definition of an anomaly. Unfortunately it may mean this years team does in fact miss the playoffs. But it absolutely does not mean the same 0-5 results should be expected next year. 1-4 and Bills make the playoffs guaranteed. 2-3 and they are LEADING the entire AFC conference. This isn't asking the world of a team to simply go 1-4 or 2-3 in one score games. As i keep saying, hammer the over on the Bills win total for next year.

Two of our top 3 receiving threats out. LT still out. LG out still? We are so screwed. Defense is going to have to ball out and create turnovers. Takeaways have really dried up in all of the Bills losses this year. Let's go Kumerow and McKenzie.

Sounds like you are talking about my thread. It was based on a question that really didn't even originate from Bills fans, although I am sure many of us were thinking it, but from Greg Cossell, one of the better analysts of QB play and about as unbiased as one can get. The timing of course couldn't have been worst for Cossell to say it and for me to post it as the very next day the Jacksonville played out. As for Mahomes, even in this resurgence for KC, the KC offense and Mahomes in general has been pretty average. The KC resurgence has been entirely about their defense doing a complete 180. Remarkable how they have turned it around on that side of the ball. Taking a look at the numbers for each QB now, it's funny, Josh's struggles in his last seven games are very similar to Mahomes struggles in his firs 8 games, the time at which I posted the thread. Worst stretch for each QB: Mahomes first 8 games: 94.5 Rating 19 TD 10 INT 66.46% 7.29 YPA 2,368 yards passing 229 yards rushing 6.54 ypa 1 TD 5 fumbles 2 lost Allen last 7 games: 88.4 Rating 14TD 9 INT 64.84% 6.88 YPA 1,762 passing yards 286 yards rushing 7.53 ypa 1 TD 4 fumbles 2 lost Betst stretch for each QB: Allen first 7 games: 103.1 Rating 17 TD 3 INT 65.44% 7.25 YPA 1,972 yards passing 269 yards rushing 5.17 ypa 3 TDs 4 fumbles 1 lost Mahomes last 6 games: 97.8 Rating 11 TD 3 INT 64.29% 7.52 YPA 1,684 passing yards 73 rushing yards 3.65 ypa 1 TD 3 fumbles 2 lost The glaring problem for each during their respective slumps is the turnovers. INT's in particular. Efficiency wise, Mahomes has not reached the highs that Allen reached during Allen's best stretch this season. But Mahomes low did not reach the low that Allen is currently at. Allen has been far more effective on the ground in both comparisons. That is more effective on the ground in each QB's best stretch of games and worse stretch of games. Could Mahomes get an MVP vote? Anything is possible but he hasn't done anything over the last 15 weeks to warrant one IMO. And yes, Allen may have played his way out of the race as well.

the good thing is between Baltimore, Cincinnati and Buffalo, Buffal has bay far the best chance of going 2-1 or better. Just need one of those two to finish 1-2. And they play each other this week so we are halfway home already.

stop being so scared. Bills are not getting destroyed. They could lose but destroyed? Come on. And if they do lose the team will not no show the following week against the Falcons. You worry more about a no show against the Falcons if the Bills do win this week. but finishing 10-7 with the only remaining loss being out of conference would be the best 10-7 scenario we could ask for.

I was kind of over this MVP race thing but now that Allen isn't a pro-bowler it would be so funny to see him end the season 3-0, win the division and finish the season with like 13 TD's over the final three games and win the MVP. And twenty years later people will look back and be like WTF? He won the MVP and wasn't named a pro-bowler? Perfect time to have his first 6 TD game this weekend.

First alternate for Allen. Lol. Yeah, if I’m AllenI I tell the NFL to go F themselves.
