The Good:
The Bills seemed prepared, focused and put forward a professional effort today. This is the first time in many weeks, one can confidently say that.
The offense was outstanding.
The defense was outstanding
Josh Allen proved once again that that fact they he can't single handedly win the game every week does not mean there is anything wrong with him. He was A+
The play calling and rythym was much improved
There were several plays on offense that seemed much better designed than we had been seeing. Don't know if these were in the playbook and not called, or if these are Brady rather than Dorsey plays
Some of the plays mentioned in 6, involved there being wide open receivers. This is wonderful development. The Bills join the other 31 teams in having some plays like this now.
This sounds a bit back handed to include in the "good" section, but the McDermott defense works best when the offense makes the other team one-dimensional, which it was able to do today. And the opponent is not great. But any time you hold an NFL team to six points the defensive performance is outstanding (see point 2).
The Sad:
This is on me more than the team. But being a Bill's fan for many decades has included many "coulda beens". Watching the turnaround today did bring a bit of upset about that if the Bills hadn't 3 blown fourth quarter losses and Overtime collapse in the first Jets game, the would be full speed ahead towards the AFC's number 1 seed. But as it is as far as I am concerned unless the get a 6th loss, they will be 12-5 which should be enough to secure the AFC East again.
The Ugly:
Tony Romo's inane commentary throughout the game.
Typical bad NFL officiating. Not sure what the answer to this is and I don't know what changed. But it has not always been this way.
Kicking game. Bass and Martin are not dependable. This is a volatile combination with a head coach that historically struggles with decision making in the final moments of tight games.
