I don't think you understood the stat or the post.

Brian Daboll had Davis in the slot ~33% his first two seasons. Daboll clearly didn’t think it was a terrible idea.

Yes, clearly should have been a roughing the passer penalty.

I don't know that if that is Davis' fault or Dorsey's. According to Cover 1, Davis went from being in the slot ~33% of time in prior years to <10% this year. That is a huge shift in usage and could explain some things.

The game log on ESPN has the intended receiver at Gabe Davis, who was in the end zone at the time. The ball was more or less on his line but obviously way too short.

Glad you mentioned that, I thought the same thing.

Yesterday.

The calls for more check downs from some today is so bizarre to me. Here is the Bills passing in the first half by drive: 1) 3/4, 14 yards, 4.6 yards/completion, Punt 2) 5/8, 64 yards, 12.8 yards/completion, Touchdown 3) 3/4, 12 yards, 4.0 yards/completion, Punt 4) 1/4, 6 yards, 6.0 yards/completion, Interception Second half total: 7/11, 158 yards, 22.5 yards/completion The Bills were throwing short a ton and it was clearly not working well. In the one good drive in the first half, they opened it up and had receptions of 16, 9, 16, and 19 before the TD pass of 4 yards.

Allen was fantastic today.

That guy is not a meteorologist, he’s a Miami talk show host.

I think you are misinterpreting the tweet and graphic. She is saying 8" on the ground by kick-off and 10" - 12" on the ground by the end of the game. That is 0.66"-1.33"/hour during the game which is manageable. One of her other tweets shows that Orchard Park is right on the edge of the heavy snow band prediction. If it tracks a couple miles south it may not be snowing at all during game time.

That play was overturned by the “sky judge”. The reception counted.

OP was right, It was week 17. January 2nd.

I swear most of the people complaining don’t watch other teams/games. There are no style points. They also don’t seem to realize how much better the team is this year versus last year. They have a much harder schedule this year and are 3 (!!!) games ahead of last year at this point. They were 7-6 on December 19 last year! They have a ton of quality wins this year.

I agree. I’m just saying, that hit was more ejection worthy than Hamlins, based on the current rule.

Watch the play again. Whitehead gets there almost simultaneously as the ball. Jefferson was defenseless for sure.

We didn’t win our eighth game until December 19th last year.

Allen started 4/10 for 27 yards through most of the first half. The rest of the way he went 14/17 (82%) for 170 yards (10 yards per attempt) and a TD. One of those incompletions was a throw away. The Bills scored on all six of those possessions before the kneel down to end the game. Allen was really good once he shook off that early funk.

That was Trent Edwards.

This talking point I keep hearing is ridiculous and shows a complete lack of critical thinking. Winning a lot of games by a big margin and losing a few games by a small margin is what good teams do. It is how sports work. Not to mention the Bills actually won their share of close games last year too: - Week 8: Bills were up 6 to Miami with under 4 minutes to go. Does not count to you because they took care of business and won by 15. - Week 16: Bills were up 5 to New England with under 3 minutes to go. Does not count to you because of that crazy drive to seal the game and division lead. - Week 18: Bills were up 3 to New York Jets with under 9 minutes to go. Ignored because they took over the game in the final minutes and pulled away. Are we supposed to take serious your argument that the Bills would have been a better team if the offense didn't come through late to pull away in those games and instead they hung on by fewer points? It is nonsense.

The obvious answer is to have the sidelines be determined by coin flip and/or have them switch sides at half time.

Yup, this x1000. Somehow these guys must’ve missed the fact that our line (and receivers) were decimated in the second half and that affected both playcalling and execution.

Thank you! I feel like I’m in bizzaro world with some of these opinions. Allen was by far the best player on the field today. Gee could the reason he finally missed a throw at the end be because he was exhausted? My god, it’s possible he was the only player on offense who didn’t crawl off the field at some point. He was incredible today.

Wow, a whole lot of misunderstandings occurring in this thread. The Patriots weren't playing for the tie nor were they depending on the two point conversion. Six minutes to go, down by eight. You can't plan on having a third possesion, so it's a TD+2 point conversion or a TD+FG. Either way, you need a TD. This drive was the deepest New England hand managed to drive on their own all game, as far they know it was the last best chance to get a TD. When New England beat the Giants earlier this year we saw what happens when your 2:00 drill only has to get in field goal range rather than score a TD. If they score a TD on that drive, then they go for two and they're either tied with 5:00 left or down less than field goal with timeouts still available. The Patriots made the right decision, it just didn't work out. Happens all the time.

What are you watching? The ball not only goes past the line of scrimmage, it appears to go past the first down marker as well.
