That #1 Ravens run game works right into the Bills weakest area as the Bills are 14th in rush yards allowed. The Ravens are averaging 5.6 yards per rush attempt. I'm really hoping we don't see another roll over in like what happened to the Rams as their run defense is about the same as Buffalo stat wise. The Ravens got the lead and never looked back. The Rams only rushed for 22 yards on 9 carries and went pass happy with 37 pass attempts, 0 TDs, 2 INTs. The Bills need to do exactly what they did against the Cowboys and get the run game going! Find a way to stop that #1 rush offense and make them pass. Then get the pass rush working while they attempt to throw and go pass happy. Whats crazy is that Dallas had a very good passing offense and they couldn't get it working correctly because they didn't even try to run the ball after their first drive in the 3rd quarter. The Bills also need lady luck on their side with the turnovers, make them fumble and get interceptions while not turning the ball over themselves. Also, limiting the penalties. This team has been gaining confidence over the last three wins and the Bills OC Brian Daboll has been doing a great job since going up in the booth. Hope they keep the win streak going!

On another note, Perry Fewell will be the new interim head coach of the Panthers. Funny thing is the 2015 Carolina Panthers were 15-1 and went to the SB... So many of those coaching changes I suggested will depend on how those teams finish the season.examples, Miami 3-9 with Jets, Giants, Bengals, Pats. winning most of them and the HC might just keep his job. NY Jets 4-8 with Miami, Baltimore, Pittsburgh and Bills. Only 5 wins in 2019 might get Gase fired.

oops, forgot about da cowpies! Anything less then anything but a big run in the playoffs and Jason Garrett is a gonner.

Firing the guy was a mistake IMHO. He will have a job asap. This firing is the first of many too. Miami Jets Cleveland Cincy Jacksonville Denver Chargers Giants Redskins Detroit Atlanta all could be looking at hiring a new HC.

Great read, love this stuff! It looked like Josh was changing the play call at the line quite often against Dallas and the result was usually good. The last few games it also looked like Brian Daboll has stuck with the run game even when the team got behind in points. Thinking back on those late 80's, early 90s' offenses it reminded me what helped make that offense work so well was the run game as Thurman Thomas was about 70% of the offense in running, receiving. Thurman's ability to read and hit the cutback hole was unreal and it makes me wonder if it would be a good idea to incorporate Ole Teds version of the Redskins "counter trey" run scheme in which the O line takes one step one way and reverts the other way. This makes the defense hesitate briefly and once they commit Thurman is hitting that hole and is gaining big yards. Most of those glory years Thurman was also the teams second leading receiver behind Andre Reed with more receptions then James Lofton, Don Beebe. Everyone made a big deal about the K-gun offense and yet those teams usually ran the ball more then they threw it. 1988, 454 passing attempts vs 528 rushing attempts. 1989, 478 vs 532. 1990 with the #1 scoring offense in the NFL 425 vs 479. In 1991, 516 passing vs 505 rushing with the the Bills offense #4 in passing yards and #1 in rushing yards. Thurman Thomas 1407 yards rushing, 631 yards receiving gave him over 2000 yards of offense that season. 1992, 509 attempts passing, 549 attempts rushing. Thomas over 2000 yards again with 1487 yards rushing, 626 yards receiving. 1993, 497 attempts passing, 550 attempts rushing. Backup RB Kenneth Davis was also a big part of that Bills offense as he would spell Thurman without a huge drop off much like Singletary, Gore. With Daboll up in the booth and the play calling looking so much better this years offense should see improvements in the passing stats going forward.

That 49ers #1 defense already with the hands on their hips and panting breathlessly... The Ravens are just so fast with that offense, jeez

Nice write up Virgil! What a great team win and it was an entire team today, coaches, players! The Bills overcame the penalties, the refs, the loud crowd and playing on the road during a short week. Great day to be a Bills fan!

I agree. Gotta give it up to Daboll who has looked like a really good OC the past few weeks! Being up in the booth might have been the answer for him to see and read the defense and relay it to Josh. I thought for sure if the Bills had gotten behind in this game that Daboll would go pass happy, and he didn't. Very well called game plan and execution by the players. Hats off to Dabs! Josh's nickname for him.

When the NFL world watched this game it made me wonder if any of the seven teams in front of Buffalo now regret passing on Allen. Cleveland, NY Giants, NY Jets, Cleveland again, Denver, Indy. Pretty sure Giants and Broncos fans are now crying in their beer!

Big thank you to the Buffalo Bills, owners, coaches, players! Great day to be a Bills fan Big win on the road AT Dallas on Thanksgiving, it doesn't get better for the NFL world to see what this team has become on a national holiday!

Happy turkey day boys, great day to be a Bills fan!

ONE game behind the cheaters, and half their team was sick this week

BOOM, 9-3

Which GM would you rather have? Jerry Jones or Brandon Beane? Poor Jerrah, now he is going to fire his HC...

While Cosell made it known it wasn't meant as racial slur. Still, many at that time took it as a very profound racial slur. Although Cosell didn't get fired for that remark he took so much heat for it that I think he eventually left MNF because of it. At this period in time he would have gotten fired for saying that.

I can't stand them either! However, we don't need an another announcer saying "look at that monkey run"... OJ to Cosell, Howard, you have an astute vision of the obvious... I do however miss the Don Meredith days with the "good night the parties over" singing. There have been some memorable MNF crews and this current one is bar far one of the very worst. ESPN has made a mess of things. I liked Keith Jackson, Frank Gifford, Al Michaels and now i sorta miss "chucky" in the booth. They need a new crew.

Patriots and hopefully taking the division away from them. I think the Ravens game is already a foregone conclusion unless the 49ers knock Jackson out for a few weeks. Although it would be great to beat the Cowboys in Dallas and go on to see Jerry Jones fire his HC. The more important game is the Patriots and the Steelers, Jets. Winning those three would give the Bills and 11-5 record and possibly the AFC East.

Good lord, really? After what the Ravens just did to the Rams on MNF, 45-6... they handily beat the 10-1 Patriots with their #1 defense 37-20 they beat the 9-2 Seahawks 30-16 and destroyed the 7-4 Houston Texans 41-7. The ONLY good things that might help the Bills is that they are home in Buffalo! They get extra time to prepare after the Thurs Dallas game. And the Ravens will be playing the 10-1 49ers the week before. This game could very well be the two SB teams for this year. I hope the Bills play well and don't get embarrassed.

Seriously! The Bills are 8-3 and some fans are still unhappy...

I like the Bills chances in this game should the Bills take the lead and keep it, along with Daboll up in the booth. With Daboll on the sidelines and the Cowboys getting the lead I see the run game going out the window and then Daboll calling 40+ pass plays... I'm really hoping for the former and Singletary having another 100 yard game rushing. Pretty sure there is one Buffalo Bill who is hoping to have 100 yards receiving with a TD or two.

Should the Bills win this Thursday I think the Cowboys owner will fire their HC...what would be more perfect

Good write up Virgil. Bills run game, 47 carries for 244 yards against the #4 defense in the league, a 5.2 YPC avg! Whoa! Bills fans have been asking for more runs for Singletary and he got them today, 21 carries for 106 yards a 5.0 YPC avg. Through the first nine weeks a prominent poster kept saying the Bills NEEDED to come out throwing so Josh could establish a rhythm or otherwise he would never settle in and be a good passer. Which now, was so obviously wrong as Allen does just fine with a run first offense. (not the OP) The other positive point is that Daboll up in the booth is working wonders for the offense. The only real negative were the penalties 12 for 90 yards. They must correct this for the remainder of the season or they won't win many of the next five games.

Great win! This game made me so nervous.

Never sacred, simply nervous!

So awesome! Bombs away!
