    Just my own observation. 

    We all remember him sprinting down the field, fast, elusive. Stiff arming Kiko Alonso or others. 
     

    He seems slower. He’s still elusive in the pocket (barely). 
     

    Is he showing his age already? Or didn’t he work out this past summer?

     

    I know they want him to stay in the pocket, but he’s been sliding 15 yards short of where he used to when faster. Perhaps we’ll never see the 15-20 yard designed runs to the end zone   
     

    Go Bills. 

     

    Are you ignoring the first game?

    The answer is to just score. It doesn’t matter whether it’s with a huddle or without one. Would a hurry up offense have stopped the Ravens from having their way with the Bills o-line? Doubtful and it may have even got worse.

    This is a simple concept that IMO the Bills have completely disregarded in favor of playing complimentary football (balanced O & D).  If the goal was to just outscore your opponent then the Bills would have needed to do what Miami has done and directed the lions share of their resources to the offense.  Of course Miami has not been as successful with their approach as the Bills have been with theirs.  The intriguing question is IF the Dolphins had Allen would their approach have worked better?  I think the answer is yes.

    We take these kinds of plays from Allen for granted now.  In some ways, they're commonplace.

     

    But I don't know - maybe 5-6 guys in the last 20 years or so make a throw like that?  I'm still shaking my head.  Unfortunately, that trick play changed the game, and now I doubt it will even be talked about.  But man....

     

    The three throws to Coleman were fantastic also.  Even though he was running for his life Allen was actually sharp tonight.  I am concerned at how little separation we saw out there from the Receivers.

    That game reminded me of the 90s when Kelly and co started the year great as usual and then played KC on Monday night. Okoye and Chiefs ran all over them and outmatched them physically for a huge beatdown.

    Yep that was a 33 - 6 beat-down in 1991 which was probably the best of our 4 Super Bowl teams. The Bills only had 2 FG's that game and the Chiefs out gained us 397 to 211 yards (info from Sal Maiorana's outstanding book RELENTLESS)

     

    Another bad Super Bowl era beat down was when the Bills lost 23 - 0 to Pittsburgh on Monday Night Football in 1993.

     

    More recently the Bills lost to the Colts in 2021 at Orchard Park 41 - 15 and a 42 - 16 prime time loss to TN in 2020.

  5. It's a long season. That record we have in one score games was bound to end and it did spectacularly tonight.  The fact remains that if the Bills go 12 - 5 they've had a fantastic season and will win the division.

     

    Brady's trick play was a bad call and I'm not saying that in hindsight.  When Allen is on the field no one believes he isn't ending up with the ball when Samuel is behind center. The Raven defenders flew to Allen on that play and blew it up.  The only trick plays that will ever work is if Allen touches the ball first and then the trick play happens. Like those throws back to Allen for TD's that Beasley & Brown made. 

     

    In defense of Brady though he had been excellent for 12 straight games (including playoffs) so he was due for a clunker.

    Was he not ready, or was he just coaching under Matt Rhule who has been shown to be incompetent?

     

    I don’t think he’ll jump immediately to HC either, because it’s a totally different job. A great coach needs to be a manager and delegator. Not just have elite skills at whatever their specialty is. Maybe in a couple years after the Bills have added some Lombardi Trophies to his resume.

    I think he was better prepared then Ruhle.  As I recall Carolina's scoring went down after he was fired.  At the same time that was one hell of a jump from Saints quality control to LSU passing game coordinator to Carolina OC.

     

     

  7. I suspect that Brady won't be to quick to take a head coaching job unless it' the perfect spot.  He was promoted from college to be an NFL OC way to quickly and he wasn't ready.  He suffered through getting thrown under the bus and has to consider himself lucky to have landed with Buffalo.  I doubt he makes the same mistake again.

    It’s so tough with Allen because like the running, his gunslinger attitude is what makes him great.  But if you win the turnover battle, this team will be really hard to beat. At the same point, Allen to feel like he can rip it and play his game, even if that results in an INT (I think the fumbles are worse). 

    There were two throws on the 85 yard Bills drive that put them up 17 - 7 and set in motion the beat down that showed that Allen will still take a chance with a gunslinger type throw:

     

    1)  The first was at the start of the drive facing a 2nd & 11 at their own 14 whch could easily turn into a 3rd & 9 and then a punt Allen fired a missile to Shakir who was in tight coverage for a 16 yard gain.  Poyer then laid on the late hit and the Bills were at the 45.

     

    2)  Later in that same drive facing a 3rd & 13 Allen extended the play and made a great throw for 33 yards to Johnson giving the Bills a 1st & goal at the 1.
