Anytime the ball is on the 1 yard line and they don't give it to Josh Allen to be pushed across the line makes my head explode. It's the highest percentage play in the playbook. Last game is a perfect example. 3rd and goal on the 1 and they try something stupid that fails and they get a penalty on top of it. Now it's 4th and goal at the 6 and Bass misses the field goal. They had two shots to push Allen's azz 1 yard for a touch down and got cute and scored zero points as a result. When it's 4th and 1, or if the ball is on 1 yard line, don't show me how clever you are, give it to your 6' 5" 245 lb QB and push him forward a yard. Period.

About 400 years too late.

Don't understand the Cowboys. Dowdle is averaging 7.3 yards a carry tonight. The Cowboys get the ball back with five minutes left in the game, tied score. They give the ball to Dowdle who rips off a 14 yard run on 1st down. The next three plays they call are incomplete passes and then they punt the ball back to Burrow with 4 minutes left. WTF?

Agree. This year our big plays are high percentage short to medium passes with RAC yardage, not low percentage bombs down the field. That has been the recipe for success. I don't expect Joe Brady is going to go away from that.

Might be funny if Bill ends up coaching the team Reddick goes to...

A legit O-line and running game has been the difference and should help Josh stay healthy for the stretch run.

The only team ahead of us is the Lions with a whopping differential of +100 with a game in hand. Third place are the Washington Commanders at 69. The Chiefs sit undefeated with a point differential of +50 and a game in hand. Not too shabby for a BIlls team that has been battling injuries and suspensions to key players this season. Let's hope we can continue to get healthy and keep up the complimentary football. The rest of the AFCE's point differentials; Jets - 20 Phins - 60 Pats - 73

These are the kind of ridiculous games the the Chiefs win all the time and stack up wins. Suddenly you look up and they are 5-0 heading into the bye. Sometimes you just have to win ugly. Big division win for the Bills tonight.

I post occasionally on the Gang Green and Fins Nation message boards under the same name I use here. I'm not a bomb thrower or troll and always let people know I'm a Bills fan. There are some smart posters on those boards that you can have a good conversation with and gain some insight. I couple of seasons ago I registered to be able to post on Chiefs Planet but have never done so. It is the most abhorrent chat room / message board I've ever been to. The filth that is spewed on that message board is unbelievable and is an embarrassment to every Chiefs' fans. I suspect the silent majority of Chiefs fans are good people, but you'd never know it by reading Chiefs Planet.

Every year before the season starts my wife who is a Bills fan by marriage, and causal football fan overall, asks me if the Bills are going to be good this year. She has suffered through more "husband in a bad mood Sundays" than she should have in the 27 years we've been married. I told her I didn't think the Bills would do great this year, we might make the playoffs, but I didn't think it could be a Super Bowl year. We were getting our salary cap straight and hopefully Beane was setting the table to start a new run the next few seasons with a younger roster and room to maneuver in the free agency. Through the first three weeks it looks like I was wrong. I think if they keep winning, the urgency for them to win a Super Bowl this year increases exponentially for one reason, Joe Brady. If the Bills make a deep playoff run, Joe Brady will be a head coach next season. We will have one year with him here to get over the hump. I'm not an X's & O's guy but its clear that Brady has designed an offense that is bringing out the best in Josh, can score a lot of points, and win in different ways. Josh has easy reads, wide open receivers, and a creative and effective running game to support him. It looks more like an Andy Reid offense than anything we've fielded since Josh arrived. Teams hoping to find their franchise QB in next year's draft will be lining up to hire Brady. After the first three games I have a different outlook, I think this is a team that can make a run and win a Super Bowl. I also think we better get it done this year because the Brady/Allen collaboration is almost certainly going to be a one and done.

I agree. Tua's health and well being was grossly mismanaged by people who knew better. When you suffer a concussion you don't even need to hit your head again to make the concussion worse. Simple aerobic activity can make a concussion worse. That's why there is a step-wise protocol to follow before you return to full activity. The protocol gently ramps up the amount of physical activity and sees if the new level of physical activity causes the concussion symptoms to return. If they do, they back up to the previous step in the protocol and give the brain some more time to heal. The fact that Tua went back into the game that day against the Bills and ran around, and then went to practice the next three days probably aggravated his brain injury all by itself. Being rag-dolled by the Bengals four days later was just the coup de grace.

I started a tread on this forum in Week 3 in 2022 during the game when Tua got concussed vs the Bills the first time and couldn't even walk off the field. Then they sent him back in after halftime to keep playing. That was the infamous "back spasm" excuse. The following Thursday night, five days later, the Phins couldn't admit their mistake in the Bills game and sit him, so they sent him back out versus the Bengals and that is when he got clobbered again and was out. When McDaniel got up at the press conference and looked in the camera and said that all he cared about was the health of his players, when every move he made showed without question that he cared absolutely nothing about Tua's health, is when he became my least favorite coach in the NFL. McDaniel talks a good game but his actions show the kind of man he really is.

This is a great photo of Josh at the bottom of a huge pile of lineman with a grin on his face like a 9 year old kid playing Pop Warner. This is the Josh Allen Experience

Pairing a legitimate running game with Josh Allen has been what I've hoped for and we haven't gotten there yet. The final half of last season with Brady calling the plays is the closest we've been. He became coordinator on November 14th after that horrific loss to the Broncos and the Bills proceeded to win seven of the next nine games. There only loses were the Philly game the week Bradly took over, and the 3 point loss to the Chiefs in the playoffs. We began to run the ball effectively and the offense really clicked. This preseason has seen a lot of questions about the Bills' receiving corps and the passing game. What I'm excited about is the running game with this O-Line and Cooks and Ray Davis. If they can run the ball as well or better than they did down the stretch last season, then I think this team will be very dangerous. I don't want the Bills to become a "running team" while they have Josh Allen under center. What I do want is for an effective running game to put opposing defenses in an unwinnable situation every snap where they can either stack the box and get beat by Allen's arm, or drop back into Nickle or Dime and have Cooks and Davis and our TE heavy sets run the ball down their throats.
