Straight Hucklebuck

I haven’t listened to a second of Howard and Jeremy this morning, but I suspect it sounds like: Howard: I was swearing and kicking things down in my basement. I was so worked up my wife had to bring me my dinner. Jeremy: Pass, pass, pass, pass, don’t ever run, pass, pass, pass. Defense doesn’t matter. Pass, pass, pass. It’s kind of like a Par 3 you know?

Except for that 60-yarder to Diggs against the Patriots that was called back, or the long shot to John Brown today. How about that power throw to Gabe on the sidelines for the comeback route?

In 2018 he hurt his UCL, he went out of the game and missed the next four games, I think there was a bye week in there so a total of 5 weeks. This year he hurts the UCL on November 6th and doesn’t miss any games. He’s played 5 more games since that injury. You’re getting down to questions like do ligaments heal or do they just scar tissue over?

Allen said he doesn’t feel it on game day. Where is the evidence that the arm is hurting? He’s running around, hurdling people, getting hit, throwing sideline ropes to Gabe.

Old check down Charlie

It's because the Chiefs are right on us, the Bengals are 1-game behind, and our offense is scoring about 25 ppg now. Defense and the running game are going to have to step up, because I don't see many answers in this Bills passing game with Spencer Brown a turnstile, and Gabe Davis only running the comeback sideline route. People who don't want Allen to run, we'd be at 18 points per game without his ability.

A year after the surgery. The team knowingly puts him out there at less than 100%.

Take the positives from this game. The defense looks fast and bailed the offense out numerous times. Have to like our three young DEs that Beane drafted making plays. Outside of one TD run they stopped the Jets rushing game. Also, I like some of the hits the Bills are handing out - Poyer, Hamlin, Milano, Oliver, Lawson.

Schopp and Bulldog “educating” the regular people about how football really works. Bulldog in his attic since 2020.

Right now I don’t think we have many answers. Allen has to run at times to get us first downs.

No Elam to at least rotate in. Now no Xavier Rhodes. I’m not sure.

I’m not sure where the Bills go for answers offensively. There just isn’t any explosion anymore. Great job defense to constantly bail the offense out over and over, and nod to Bass for a tough 49-yard FG in the elements.

Got the Jets into 3rd-long and it doesn’t matter with this defense.

So is Josh now not concussed or concussed? Does it come in and out?

Ahh yes, the mythical 6-week undiagnosed concussion rearing it’s ugly head again.

I’m surprised the Jets are sticking with White. He looks rattled.

That’s bad coaching, trying to rush and run a play there for no reason. And again, just refusing to run the ball.

Bills need to start racking up some time of possession. They stopped running the ball.

I’d like to see some of the Bills barrel into him, like Dawson Knox as a rookie against Cincinnati.

He’s been running off the side at practice with Crowder. Maybe?

“We wanted to see what we had in Xavier Rhodes”

Except the daily injury report from each practice detailing participation level and body part effected, as well as a game status designation. I'm not saying reporters need to badger McDermott for details, if he says week to week, fine, you don't need to ask "get more specific Coach, what does that mean, walk us through the oblique". But it's okay to say, at this point is Phillips a week to week injury or potentially season ending, stop there, and let him answer.

Got real serious after 13-seconds didn't it? Got real serious when Josh got hurt this year, didn't it? Then it was a lot of refreshing the browser to get answers. Then McDermott knew to head the press conference off with details on that immediately didn't he? Same with the Von Miller situation. We're 9-3 and it's all rainbows again. But when we're 6-3 and have no #2 WR output, a question like what is Kahlil Shakir's role on the team, or Coach what are your feelings on the amount of play action in this offense, can potentially provide more insight than Ken, how do you spend your off days on this mini-bye.

Thank you for asking more of our media then how much snow is still at the Facility, or a dog that ate a doughnut.

So are you man. Constant policing. By the way, listen to the difference in a press conference after a loss, compared to a win. Then it's chalk full of - Coach, why didn't you use a timeout there, what was the thinking on the 3rd-2, why didn't you take the Field Goal there, Josh what were you seeing on this play? Then the focus on decision making gets real serious, real quick. The Bills win, and the media gets 🧡eyes and we ask questions about how it feels to hug each other. Too bad you don't like my line of thought. Maybe you enjoy when our OC is asked about how he relaxes after the game, I don't. Ask shorter, open ended questions.
