Sigh. Jackson immediately has a brutal rep. We can't field a defense without Douglas.
-
He's had issues in the 1st quarter over the last three weeks before looking like his usual self the rest of the game. Slow starts for sure. Hopefully something he can work on because spotting a defense a full quarter isn't going to work in the playoffs.

No effing way!!

They finally connected on a vertical shot!!

I'm not mad at the defense, Dolphins offense is going to get their points eventually. I just can't get over the missed deep pass. Josh put no air under that one. Even an underthrow is fine there with how wide open Diggs got. And last year I feel like we hit a dozen of those. I don't get it.
-
That was actually a good INT, lost the Dolphins yards, but I think he bailed out of the pocket too early instead of hitting Kincaid to the left. That overthrow to Diggs sucks big time. I don't know why Josh can't hit any vertical passes in his direction this year.
-
Yes that is how option routes work... he has to trust his WR is on the same page and throw the ball with anticipation.
-
Wasn't a brain fart. He pretty clearly expected Davis to turn around and come back to that spot. Apple finished the route for him. Really can't wait for Davis to be elsewhere next year.

Another miscommunication between Allen and his intended WR, this time leading to an INT. So sick of this crap. And of course the DB makes a great catch off the turf because dropped INTs never help us.

Would like to see Knox make the catch there. Tough, sure, but make it happen.

So far an excellent set of play calls from Brady. The right mix of easy plays and aggression.

It's so nice to have a real short yardage run offense this year

Villanova!!

Week 18 - Around the NFL thread (all but Titans Jags game)
HappyDays replied to BuffaloBill's topic in The Stadium Wall
A Commanders loss is a good thing. It keeps the Pats out of the #2 pick. -

NFL Week 18 - Jags at Titans game thread
HappyDays replied to BuffaloBill's topic in The Stadium Wall
I still can't believe Lawrence and Ridley didn't connect on that deep pass. Looked like Ridley slowed down a bit and didn't get himself in position to make the catch. But that's why QBs are supposed to underthrow the ball when a WR is that wide open... Increases the margin for error. -

So ultimately the Titans are the reason we clinch a playoff spot early, and why we have a chance for the #2 seed tonight. Nice assist from former Bills great Deandre Hopkins. This game was huge. Now there is no pressure on the team tonight. That being said go in and knock the hell out of the Dolphins just for the fun of it. -

I think Ridley lost track of the ball there -

Jags wasted TO earlier is looming large... Pederson has badly mismanaged this game. -
Bills-Dolphins Week 18 for the Division! SUNDAY NIGHT GAME

Steelers have had excellent turnover luck in this game. Typical. Still waiting for the first Josh Allen dropped INT of the year.

Word for word this could describe Mahomes and the Chiefs this year. But the narrative around the two QBs is for some reason entirely different. Mahomes and Allen are obviously not perfect this year, but they are the only reason their passing offenses are performing at a top 10 level over the course of the season. Them putting on their Superman cape from time to time is in fact the difference. Average OL play and a below average group of pass catchers is not conducive to elite passing offense, I don't care who your QB is. I'm surprised after the year Mahomes has had that this debate hasn't been closed once and for all. I think if Allen had the exact game that Mahomes had against us in week 14, there would be a lot of people on here saying that we would have won that game if Allen had played better. They would have pointed to the handful of missed throws Mahomes had and said "if your defense holds a top offense to 20 points, your QB has to find a way to get the win." But Bills fans don't watch other QBs with the same critical eye that they watch Allen. Every missed pass or bad read is treated like the end of the world on here, rather than the regular occurrence that it is for every single QB in every single game. I still see people blame Allen for the Eagles loss which is straight up unbelievable. I see people say things like "if Allen doesn't play like he did against the Dolphins this year (with his 158.3 pass rating), the Bills can't beat good teams" - and they say this is as a criticism of Allen. I see people say that if Allen doesn't play perfect for four straight games we have no chance at a Super Bowl, even though that has never been the case for any other Super Bowl winning QB. So the expectations for QB play have gotten obscenely out of control on here. Every time I watch any other great QB play a game I see plenty of missed passes or jitteriness in the pocket. It is in fact completely normal. Allen misses 4 passes instead of 2 in a game and all of a sudden he doesn't care about his mechanics anymore, he's gone Hollywood, etc. It can't just be the normal ups and downs of a QB's season. It has to be the end of the world. Also Gunner to your point on Cincy - I think talking about total investments made is a bit of a red herring. What matters is what's on the field. Cincy prioritized defense in the draft after giving Burrow an elite WR tandem. The Bills on the contrary have prioritized defensive line above all else every single year that McDermott has been here. They missed several opportunities to acquire top WR talent in the draft over the years. They failed to do what was necessary to pay for Hopkins this past offseason. At the end of the day the weapons they've surrounded Allen with this year have not been good enough, arguably worse even than what we had last year because Diggs is not performing like the true #1 he was last year. That's why our passing offense is where it is right now.
