Week 14 Gameday Bills at Buccaneers Postgame thread
CincyBillsFan replied to Hapless Bills Fan's topic in The Stadium Wall
I'll wait for better replays but if Diggs doesn't throw his arms up and looks around and runs through the ball it's a TD. -

Also on the long incomplete pass where Diggs was held I think he scores a TD if instead of complaining and throwing his hands up he just tracks the ball. Allen threw it within a couple of feet and Diggs seemed surprised it was that close. -
Week 14 Gameday Bills at Buccaneers Pregame thread
CincyBillsFan replied to Chandler#81's topic in The Stadium Wall
A lot of the folks that make a living on the NFLN and on the NFL pre-game shows and on the Sirius NFL radio network were very critical when the Bills took Allen in the first round. A lot of them got up on their high hose and trashed Allen mercilessly his rookie year. They largely ignored Allen's real progress in 2018 & 2019 but had to swallow their bile in 2020. Now some of them are back with a vengeance. As others have noted Allen still has room to grow and his play has been a bit consistent this season. But anyone with an ounce of football knowledge can see he's passed the eye test this season and his stats back that up. He's clearly an elite franchise level QB. Now with that being said I'm not optimistic about Allen and the Bills offense today. I hope I'm wrong but teams with potentially dominating D-lines are a huge problem for the Bills. Allen will be running for his life and as the Bills fall behind he'll start pressing leading to turnovers. Again I hope I'm wrong. -
And business as usual is giving NE the ball and getting the wind at your back in return. McD expected that to happen and BB obliged. So I'm not sure what your point is here?

I believe McD was looking for the knockout blow assuming that Jones couldn't throw the ball in these conditions. While it didn't go according to McD's plan it came pretty damn close.
-
Let me offer an alternate view here and a reason why coaches get ulcers. By taking the wind in the first quarter McD absolutely did the right thing. But two players screwed it up. NE gets the KO and goes 3 and out losing 5 yards. The Bills get the ball at midfield but on 3rd & 7 Knox drops a pass that would have got the Bills a 1st down inside the Pats 35. We punt and NE again goes 3 and out. This time their punt is caught in the wind and the Bills take over at NE's 40 yard line. The Bills get a 1st down and then on FIRST & 10 at the Pats 29 yard line Brieda fumbles away the ball. After each team had two possessions with us having the wind at our backs we should've been up 10 or even 14 to nothing. Instead two bad plays by two different players screwed it up. McD must still have nightmares of how the game started and how close he came to winning it in the 1st quarter.

I was replying to someone else here who called Allen the next Stafford. I was being sarcastic with that person. I agree 100% with you. We are not ike the Lions and Allen is not like Stafford - he already has 2 playoff wins! Win 2 playoff games. How many has Stafford won?

Is this this team built the right way?

How many times on 3rd and 3 or 4 do we gain one yard and are forced to pass to convert a 3rd down? Our RB's don't pass the eye test. I would also say that my eyes tell me that Allen rarely has time to actually scan the field. On almost every passing play it's like a jail break is taking place along the line. They can claim that Allen has so many seconds to throw until they're blue in the face and I don't care what the watch says. In almost every one of those plays it's Allen buying time not the O-line giving him time.
