I had to watch that 1st and 20 TD pass to Sanders over and over...enjoying this so much!

All they are missing is Bruce and Biscuit dancing on the sidelines

All I can say is... EFF YES! EFF YES! EFF YES!!!!!!!!!!!!

Let's face it, this is the Josh Allen show with a few highlights sprinkled in...

I honestly have somewhat less anxiety now after that 27-3 first half. Still, can't help but be nervous till this is over!

Funny stuff...the leading rushers on both teams are the QBs

300 yards of offense by Buffalo against the #2 NFL defense of NE! In the first half !!

This is awesome... 300 offensive yards by Buffalo in the first half... so far!!! Feels so good to do this to the New England Patriots in the PLAYOFFS!! I gotta wonder what the NE boards are saying right now, ahahahahahaha

This last drive from the guy who isn't the MVP and didn't make the pro bowl

Welcome to the Josh Allen show!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

When you look at what Matt LaFleur did for Aaron Rodgers with implementing a stout run game to go along with that GB passing attack that was failing the team as they went from 6-9-1 in 2018 to 13-3 in 2019. This, simply by building a power run game to compliment that passing attack. Rodgers in 2018, 4442 passing yards, 25 TDs, 2 INTs- 2019 Rodgers 4002 passing yards, 26 TDs, 4 INTs. If the Bills had a stout RB run game like the Colts, Titans, 49ers... then they would be new impossible to stop the Bills offense. Yes, they have improved in this facet the last month. The Bills are currently 6th in rushing and a whole lot of that is because the QB is the second leading rusher on the team with 763 yards rushing, 6 TDs. Forgive me If I'd rather see the RBs doing most of the running as it took so, so, so, so very long to find a talent like Allen and I want to see that arm in the pocket for the next 20 seasons! Yes, Brian Daboll has done well in Buffalo and he gets credit for helping Josh Allen become one of the very best QB's in the league. The man hasn't built a consistent balanced offense and relied far to much, to often on Josh Allen's arm. The pass game isn't working in a game and the run game isn't working either...let's just keep throwing no matter what kind of pressure the QB is under. And yes, this has changed somewhat the last few games. The question is...why did it take so long to get this done? I read after the last few games that Bills fans are no longer calling for a better RB or better O line. Why? Because the run game is finally working well. My take is McD has had a lot to do with this (Bills RB running surge) at the half of that Bucs game. I also think Florio is correct that If the Bills fall off in offensive production like they did last season in the playoffs. Then, I think changes with be forthcoming.

Daboll seems lost on how to adjust to a lot of different things. With as much NFL OC experience as the man has he should be able to adjust to anything at any time. 8 years as an NFL OC. That Jacksonville Jaguars 6-9 loss comes to mind 47 passing attempts against a defense putting a ton of pressure on Allen. things got worse as the game went on too. Just keep passing the ball. Drive Chart, FG, FG, Punt, Punt, INT, INT, Punt Fumble, Downs. Seriously, only 6 Bills points scored against the 2-6 Jags with the 30th ranked defense. It was a 59 degree day so ya can't blame the heat, save the heat on Allen 4x sacks, 8 QB hits. With what happened last season after the team was destroying opponents just before the playoffs. 49-19 at Denver. 38-9 at NE. 56-26 Miami at Buffalo to end the 2020 season. Then Playoffs, barley beating the Colts 27-24. Only scoring 10 offensive points against the Ravens. Getting blown out by the Chiefs in the AFC Championship game 24-38. The last two games this season the Bills were faltering on offense against some scrub teams in Atlanta with the 29th ranked defense, and NY Jets with the 32nd ranked defense. Now this game, the Patriots have the #2 defense just behind the Bills. I have no faith that Daboll will focus on the the Patriots game over setting up his resume for his interviews. Besides, Bill Belichick almost never gets beaten by the same team twice a season. He will have the Patriots ready! I'm hoping that McD has a backup plan for this game should the Buffalo offense fall on its face in the first half. **I have visions of the 1990 SB running through my head.

He ain't reading this fodder as he is far too busy setting up his resume for the Dolphins, Bears and others. Not gonna be surprised if the offensive game plan and play calls look bad again this season for the playoffs.

Thank the lord he wanted no part of Buffalo. There were other players the Bills went after and didn't get...things worked out. For me, as good as that 3rd for Taylor was and moving on from Glenn with his bad foot. I gotta say, a #1 pick for Stephon Diggs was simply brilliant IMO. That one move help propel Buffalo to the AFC Championship game. 13-3, #2 overall offense in 2020.

I don't see it that way. This owner is hands off and the GM, HC are both really good now. The problem with Luck was that he was so beaten up by the time Reich got there he just wanted out. Darn shame too as they probably would have won a SB or two. The Colts get a top QB and look out AFC. JMO

Going into that Buffalo game the Falcons defense was last in the NFL in sacks and near last against the run, 29th in points allowed, 26th in yards. The NY Jets defense was 32nd in both yards, points allowed. I don't get why the Buffalo offense had so much trouble moving the ball, scoring in the first half of both games against such bad defenses. I'm hoping the Bills OC was avoiding running his best strategies going into these two garbage teams and holding out his best for the playoffs.

I wouldn't get my hopes up. If he had a decent interview I'd think he be the HC of the Chargers right now. Dolphins-Bears and Jags-Raiders-Broncos-Vikings are also looking for a new HC. https://www.nfl.com/news/nfl-coaching-gm-tracker-latest-news-interviews-developments-in-2022-hiring-cycle Interesting stuff. According to this link, Daboll is the only guy being considered for the Miami job atm.

Three words...Six to Nine! There was a point in this season in which it was noted that McD was talking about his OC the very same way he talked about Rick Dennison in the 2017 season. The Bills lost to the Jags 6-9, were blown out by the Colts 15-41 and lost to the Patriots at home in a windstorm to an offense that only threw 3 passes, 10-14! Mostly because this OC kept getting caught up in throwing the ball all game... instead of what it will take to exploit the team/defense he is facing. Keep passing and when that doesn't work...keep passing. It's also been noted that this OC has finally started using the RBs in the run game more and it's been somewhat successful. Suddenly, we Bills fans are no longer claiming we need a better O line, need a better lead RB. If this were happening all season... then this thread would have no merit. Look at this recent Jets game! The Buffalo offense was stumbling big time for a lot of that game and this was against a 4-12 team with the 32nd ranked defense, 30th in passing yards allowed. WTH! At times this OC doesn't see what's working and what isn't working. WR Gabe Davis against the Jets, 14 targets, 3 receptions for 39 yards. Yes, the Bills finally scored 14 points in the 4th quarter to put some distance to win 27-10. This was a very close game for quite a awhile and it took a historically dominant defensive game play to keep the Bills in this game. Buffalo Bills defense, NINE sacks on the Jets rookie QB Wilson, who went 7 of 20 for 87 yards all game. The Jets run game went 17 rushes for 48 yards. Because of those 9 Buffalo sacks the Jets only had 5 net passing yards all game! 53 total yards of offense by the Jets! Bills fans should be worried about this OC and if he has the proper game plan to beat the Patriots. Ya know what is funny / odd? You don't hear much about Brian Daboll's name being bandied about as a new HC hire when so many teams are looking. Just think, GB OC Nathanial Hackett is generating more interest...

Took him longer to figure out how to defeat the cover 2 shell defense. With all the talent in this Buffalo receiver corps... you would think we would see continued improvement / innovation in the passing offense. Week 16 against NE, Lil dirty had 12 targets, 11 receptions for 125 yards, 1 TD. Awesome game. Then against Atlanta the very next week, 2 targets, 1 reception for 6 yards. Against the Jets this week, 1 target, 1 reception, 9 yards. Meanwhile, Gabe Davis, 14 targets, 3 receptions for 39 yards. I don't get it.

Flores was pretty darn good considering he got stuck with Tua at QB. The Dolphins owner Ross has his nose into everything he shouldn't have it in. Miami went 10-6 last season with Fitz (4-3) and Tua (6-3) and just missed getting into the playoffs. Granted, there was a ton of strange happenings going on inside that building. Like the releasing the team captains. Benching Fitz when the team was winning... for Tua who struggled early. Various offensive coordinators over his three seasons. I'm kind of happy he is gone from Miami as any new HC will want to build the team his way... and that means changes to the coaching staff, players. Just what Tua needs is a new OC...

The Dolphins fired a HC that swept the NE Patriots after going 9-8 this year. Man, that phins owner is a complete moron! They went on a 7 game tear only losing to the #1 seed Titans in their final 8 games. I suppose it doesn't matter that Tua only played in 12 of those 17 games going 7-5. I'm not crying because I don't see them hiring anyone better. This is typical dysfunction in the type of thing that screwed Buffalo for nearly 20 seasons. Hopefully it continues with the Jests, Phins. All we need now is for the cheater to retire.

Years ago, a reporter walked into the locker room after a practice and asked the receivers why they had all these little X's on their chests. The retort was, that's just John being John. John Elway was always throwing with force and the receivers simply learned to catch those fastballs. I don't recall those Bronco receivers not being able to catch everything thrown their way. No reason why the Bills receivers can't learn to catch everything too, in any conditions. Coaching.

I agree with this mostly because the Bills OC started to do it again against the Falcons...just keep throwing...just keep throwing! In that first Buffalo drive, 14 passes, 8 incomplete, one called run by Singletary, 2 runs by Allen, one for a TD. Allen did a lot of the running in that first half and ended the game with 15 carries for 81 yards. Why... is...the... Buffalo... QB... running... this... much!!! Yes, Josh took over this game by running. This against a near worst NFL defense, 29th in points allowed, 24th in yards. Atlanta is 32nd in team sacks in 2021. I have no faith that when both the Buffalo pass game and run game falter that the Bills OC won't continue to just keep calling for pass plays. Yes, Singletary was effective in this game. That was against a team near last in rushing yards allowed, 26th. I have faith in Josh Allen to do his best. I have faith in the Buffalo defense to do their best. The game plans and play calls, no, not so much!

All I can say is... put this, along with a lot of other issues on the direct shoulders of the Buffalo Bills offensive coordinator. The man had a terrible record as an NFL OC before he got to Buffalo! And Allen, with all his elite skills has made Brian Daboll look somewhat decent. Let's not forget that this is the man that thought Nathan Peterman was a viable starter against the Ravens in 2018. Sent him out there to get destroyed! Daboll had no plan against that fierce Baltimore pass rush, not in 2018 6x sacks for Peterman, Allen, and again in 2019 6x sacks Allen. If not for Allen and his unique running ability, toughness, brains and overall elusiveness...he might have ended up on a dumpster heap like so many Cleveland Browns QB's have...super star arm aside. All I can say is, week 9, to lose to the 1-6 Jacksonville Jaguars 6-10 (worst team in the NFL that NE just pasted with a 50 burger) with the 30th ranked defense who sacked Josh Allen 4x!!! Only 9 rushes by Buffalo RBs that game with the QB throwing 47 times... QB having difficulty passing in a game...just keep throwing! Yep, this team has a weakness alright.
