HappyDays

Weeky reminder that if you watch other contenders like the Eagles and Chiefs as closely as you watch the Bills you'll come away with a ton of negatives. Great teams persist through the negatives and find a way to win. As it always was, as it always will be. 11-3 is 11-3.

I know the Chiefs would slaughter the Texans today no matter what, but of course they happen to play them when their best offensive player Dameon Pierce is out with an injury. Never seen a team get so many breaks on their schedule year after year.

I guess you don't understand modern football?

The forum would be incredibly boring if after every win we all just posted virtual high fives. Nothing wrong with just enjoying wins but that's not why we come here. I'll cut Dorsey a little slack because he's a 1st year coordinator and the talent on offense is below average for a championship contender. I just wish he would make it a point to focus more on quick passes and running the ball. The drives where we do seem to always be successful. The drives that fail often feature three attempts to set up deep shots. I know Allen is elite but there's no rule that says elite QBs aren't allowed to have easy answers mixed in. Mahomes gets multiple plays a game that are easy pitch and catch to pass catchers in space. We get very few of those.

Allen made up for deficiencies in scheming and play calling. To be fair to Dorsey the lack of separation from our receivers is noticeable. But he doesn't scheme up a lot of easy ones.

This guy I follow on Twitter has it exactly right: Here's how I would put it - the Dolphins very clearly had the better offensive weapons, OL, and offensive coaching tonight. But the gap between Tua (who played decently) and Allen is so great that it more than made up that difference. Having an MVP level QB is a cheat code.

Not really. He caught every pass that hit him softly right in his hands. That's bare minimum stuff.

I assume everyone has the same list as me. Josh Allen

That's the best play McKenzie made this year!!

2nd game in a row where the opponent makes every tough catch while we drop easy ones.

Please just move the ball down a field a few yards at a time. No more deep crossing routes, they are never open quickly enough for our OL to hold up.

Why does our offense go for so many stretches of zero quick passes? I've never seen anything like it. Everything is setting up deep shots.

Yeah we have gotten a little too spoiled by his pinpoint throws while on the run. He isn't going to hit them all. He hit the previous play for a huge completion downfield but McKenzie couldn't control the catch. There is no margin for error in Allen's game because of the players around him and that just isn't sustainable.

That's the first bad throw he's made since the first drive, just awful timing. Nothing is going right this half.

I mean that's really an incredible throw and we needed a good catch to match. But that isn't McKenzie's skill set.

No clue which way this challenge is going to go, but my God we need any player not named Josh Allen to make an above average play. Everything is SO difficult. McKenzie is a gadget player that we're throwing downfield passes to.

No chance we are going to be the #1 seed. Our offensive weapons are below league average, we have no run game, the offensive play calling is uncreative, and to top it off we always make stupid plays at the exact wrong moment.

Hamlin late to the ball again

Is Cam Lewis going to be the reason for two losses this year? That's quite the impact from a bottom of the roster player.

No separation from our receivers

White looking much better in this game.

The offense is literally all just Josh Allen making things happen. Poor OL, limited RBs, inconsistent pass catchers. We would be a bottom 5 offense if not for one man.

I don't know if we can win a Super Bowl with Waddle starting. Probably nothing we can do about it at this point unfortunately.
