You can generally rely on Fitzpatrick to make a few errant throws, Tua, not so much IMO. Throwing velocity is probably somewhat similar. I feel like with a stout D you have put Tua in the same position as he was in with Alabama. I hesitate to call him a good game manager, but he is, and perhaps a little more. With Fitz as a mentor, Chan Gailey as OC and Tua pulling the trigger. Buffalo needs to be loaded for bear. The bread and butter of the Bills D is the secondary. Regardless of how accurate Tua is a healthy Bills secondary can give Tua problems IMO.

This is what I would like to see and its not a knock on motor. The same goes for Duke Williams. The Bills WR position overall is performing at a very high level IMO. The reason I want to see Duke Williams on the field is because Buffalo's TE position is not producing. Use the bigger bodied Duke to soften up and work the middle of the football field. In turn, help the Bills rushing attack. I personally think used properly Duke Williams could become a big weapon in the Bills arsenal IMO. WR/hybrid TE I'm sure J K is watching Josh Allen and the Bills O operate and thinking man what they could do with some production from the TE position.

I like the way you think OP. The gameplan did work. It worked on a day Josh Allen was not at the top of his game. A day when yes, the Bills could have used more production running the football. Myself personally, like the passing game RB's need a certain amount of touches to get a feel for what the opposition is doing. Singletary and Moss dividing play time making it even harder. The O spends most of its time in pass protection. It boils down to this, If Buffalo wants to run the ball well it will have to get the RB's more involved IMO. Buffalo has a couple of players I really think can help this Offense start hitting on all cylinders IMO. T J Yeldon for his catching abilities coming out of the back field and Duke Williams for size at the WR position. The Duke is a WR that plays like a TE IMO. I think he gives Allen the larger go to security blanket lacking from the Bills TE position IMO. Buffalo vs Arizona very well could have been a preview to the Superbowl.

I think teams playing catch up tend to help inflate points against IMO.

Talk about excitement going into the bye. Even in the loss yesterday entertainment at its finest. Josh Allen and the Buffalo Bills going down swinging. Got hit with a hail mary punch by the mighty mouse that rocked Bills nation to the core. MERCY!!!!

Getting blocked while in hot pursuit is going to happen. Getting knocked on your rump is going to happen. Players get up off the ground after every play. Edmunds QB's the D. Overall I thought the D played well vs Kyler Murray and the top ranked O in the league.

As Stevie Johnson would say... ...Why so serious... Being a bama fan I now have to hate my all time favorite college QB. He's already starting to smell kinda sinister... Like a spoiled can of Tua fish... ...hate it when that happens...

Buffalo scored 30 points and lost the game not being able to knock down the football on a hail mary. Some of Buffalo's best talent right where they needed to be on the play. The Bills D came at Murray in waves. He's not an easy player to defend. The Cardinals have the top ranked O in the league. This could be a preview to the next Superbowl matchup. The game plans worked in my humble opinion OP.

I nominate Duke Williams Why might you ask? I have to blame someone for the Dukes lack of play time. Awwww come on man...

How the PI wasn't called on Brown boggles the mind.

I don't like being on the wrong end of a play that will go down as one of the all time greats. On the other hand its hard not to appreciate the significance of the play. What it meant for Arizona and Kyler Murray. The astonished look on some of the Cardinals players was priceless. With a day to let my emotions get back to normal. It was a great play. I think when its talked about the valiant effort from Josh Allen will also be remembered. Two of the NFL's new greats taking it to the wire...

I think we will. In the grand scheme of things though as far as playoffs go its not that important this season IMO. Lets not get to discouraged going into the bye leading the division and 4 and 0 within the division. When the bye is over Buffalo will still be in 1st place regardless...

I just want to say this was one of my more favorite reads from Virgils thoughts in no particular order. I'm glad the ones that take an interest in your thought process are the ones that matter most. Thanks for sharing them...

It is real good timing. Tua has played well, but I expect some bumps in the road for the rookie. I'm not sure the division means as much with the new playoff format and covid restrictions at the stadiums. Advancing to the 2nd round requires beating teams we will have to beat regardless.

Josh Allens forte is not rainbow arc throws dropping down from the heavens over the defender and into the WR's hands. Its lower arc laser shots IMO. Allen almost appears to throw them like darts at moving dart boards. Josh Allen needs bigger moving dart boards to work the middle of the football field properly IMO. Something J K / K gun excelled at back in the day. I also think good TE play helps open up the run...

I thought that might have a better chance. Launch the football 70 yards and possibly get a PI call.

I think without getting more production from the TE position Buffalo runs the risk of becoming to finesse going into wintery weather conditions. On the other hand I can understand how a fella could reach this point...

Josh really is clutch, Diggs, Beasley, all clutch. I personally want to see more production from the TE position. On off days QB need big play from the TE security blanket IMO. (On days like today I wish Duke Williams was on the football field)

Does this belief hinge on one successful hail mary? The reason I ask this is because had Buffalo won the game I think allot of people start looking at Buffalo differently. (Including Bills fans) I'm not saying your wrong...

Despite the very painful loss I also like where we're going. Thanks OP for keeping it real. Its hard to be to upset with anyone in particular. Josh had an off day yet came through at crunch time. D defended Murray well IMO. A couple of bounces went our way. A little Murray magic beat us in the end. When I looked at the 3 games coming up on the schedule. Pats, Seahawks and Cards. Ithought to myself , If Buffalo wins 2 I'll be happy. Can't say I'm happy right now. On the other hand, I'll take the 2 out of 3. My hats off to the mighty mouse...

You just have to knock the ball down as a DB, not catch it. Our DB's sure made it look hard to defend...

The Bills are going to be chasing Murray today regardless. Do the chasing on Buffalo's terms. Force the issue. All out attack mode. Make Murray run for his life. Make him pay dearly when he does. Send Kyler Murray crying home to mommy... Bills 31 Birds 10 Lets go Buffalo!!!

On a tennis court perhaps, lol

Having the right coaching and system to match a QB's abilities is key. Chan Gailey is probably one of the most versatile coaches in the league IMO. I think Tua gives both Gailey and Fitz allot of positives to pull from IMO. Its going to create a very competitive offense in Miami IMO. I like it. I think squishing the fish is going to take on a whole new meaning. I think Allen is in a very good match with the Daboll/O. An onnovative and expanding coaching style that is in sync with the sky being the limits with Josh Allen IMO Its imperative the Buffalo Bills keep them together IMO. In ways I'm disappointed Tom Brady is no longer in the AFC East. The reason I feel this way is because I believe the Buffalo Bills finally have a QB that can compete against the greats IMO. ( and beat them)

Lol, probably a bama fan... On a side note though Tua does resemble a young R W IMO.
