[Defensive game plans]

Our coaching staff has shown multiple times they are not good enough to turn us into an elite NFL team. We will forever be a meddling team who sneaks into the playoffs or wins the division and exits in the 1st round, like the Bengals with Marvin Lewis. We are stuck with McD for a while so might as well see what happens and hope Allen turns into a top 5 QB 

[National Spotlight - Face it Buffalo is not much of a story]

the media love affair ended when we struggled to beat the jets with field goals 

 

I think everyone knows we are most likely a one and done team in one of the worst divisions in the league. our most likely playoff opponent if we win the division will be Baltimore who may possibly be the worst matchup in the whole league for us

I love that this game is just a 1:00 PM game and its in Buffalo. Time change was this week...I know Seattle travels well...but I like that.

 

seattle always has that weird game once a year where wilson plays bad and they just look like out of it, hopefully thats this weekend

 

Allen also has to step up. 4 weeks of bang average performances from him, he needs to bring his game back to week 1-4 levels. 

[Chris Simms on Bills-Patriots]

We didn't really slow down the patriots offense, they were a few yards from winning the game. we did in the 1st half but defense was embarrassing in the 2nd half. 

 

 

That was the worst patriots team in 20+ years and this is the best bills team in 2 decades and the game came down to a fumble recovery. 

[Possibility of 16 playoff teams this year]

NFL clearly has no idea what they are doing this season 

 

first they threaten to punish teams for breaking covid protocol. then after the titans do exactly that and ruin multiple teams schedules nothing happens to them and they got extra rest and prep times for their games.

Arizona isn’t all that. Pittsburg would be an EPIC victory.

 

They have pretty high powered offense and are well coached. 

 

 

[Week 9: Seahawks at Bills]

this might be the least concerning game on the schedule. win or lose I want to see Allen have a good game against a really bad defense. take that momentum into the 2nd half of the season. 

 

the chargers/49ers/broncos games are the big ones as we realistically should be winning all 3 games 

[Most wins against teams with a winning record]

Id like to see us beat just one of Seattle, Arizona, or Pittsburg. it might not effect our division title hopes if we lose all 3 but just to see if we can keep up with the top teams. 

 

 

[Bills Face 49ers week in 5 weeks, Will be No Kittle or Jimmy G.]

Kittle is a loss but their backup QB is nearly as good as Jimmy G. 
 

They have a hard hitting defense and power running game. Basically same situation as the titans game

Daboll and Josh need to stick with the run of that is the case. What was driving me nuts yesterday was when we would get cute on offense and it would result in a negative play. We could have run left every time for positive yardage every time. Just keep running if teams play us in a dime all game long. 

the inside runs to Singletary drive me insane

 

just let the kid bounce it outside everytime . Our interior run blocking is abysmal.

We cant be scared of this, if we want to be considered good, get better, get challenged , then we got to beat good teams. This is an opportunity. 

 

The Seahawks are good, but I think we do a few things that could be effective. In Buffalo, we have a chance....

has McDermott ever beaten a top 5 or even top 10 team in the league? 

[Are our WRs not getting separation? Or is it Allen?]

I put some blame on daboll and Allen. 
Allen loves the big play and gives up on the gimme throws at times while watching downfield. Daboll seems stubborn at implementing and calling a short pass game. Seems everyone goes 15-20 yards deep on lots of plays. I’d like to see Kroft worked in more in the 5-10 yard range. I also like singletary 1 on 1 in the flat. He may not be fast but 99% of the time the first guy is never going to tackle him. 

brady made a living off underneath throws when teams would shut down the pats deep passing game 

 

Blame the coaches. Not Allen. McDermott and his staff need to develop better game plans because right now they are being out coached almost every single week 

[Are the Bills a very good team??? This is where the issue is]

I’d like to know where the hell you think this team is getting 12 or 11 wins from 

[How you felt about the win]

defense played well in the 1st half. 

 

2nd half, NE adjusted and McD and his staff had no idea what to do (once again). Cams fumble was a bail out, Pats were a few yards away from winning that game. 

 

important win? Yes. but this coaching staff continues to show they have no idea how to make adjustments in the 2nd half of games.

If the Bills can get out to an early lead, make the Seahawks one-dimensional, load up on DBs and hope to force a rare mistake from Russ.

 

It'll be very high scoring. These are similar teams: explosive offenses, athletic/mobile QBs, great receiving corps and porous defenses. Russ has just been more consistent than Josh.

 

The Seahawks have given up at least 23 points in every game. We should be able to score on this team. Our chance is to limit big plays from Russ, not committing turnovers (hopefully winning the differential) & controlling the TOP. I look for Moss and Singletary to have big days.

 

With that said, I think SEA pulls it out in a close one, 38-34. Russ is just too good. 

 

Game will come down to Allen and the passing game. thats it really. can he keep up with Wilson and their high scoring offense

 

Our passing game hasn't been good since week 4. since then defenses have been playing zone and selling out to stop the pass and we have yet to come up with a solution for it. Seattle has a poor defense but so did the Chiefs and Jets and we didn't put many points on them. I think Bills fans are overrating our offense big time.

If Seattle doesn't have Chris Carson running the ball their offense should be pretty one dimensional. If you can keep Russel Wilson in the pocket and our secondary plays up to snuff it might be a halfway decent matchup for our defense. DK worries me though as we've had trouble with bigger physical receivers this year and last.

 

"keep russell wilson in the pocket" lol 

 

hes the best QB in the league. thats where he does his damage from...the pocket 

[LB Avery Williamson Traded to Steelers]

Beane needs to fix this defense as best he can asap 

[Predict 2nd half of season]

Has anyone looked at the dolphins 2nd half schedule? They can easily finish this season with 9-10 wins. it is much easier than ours. 

 

the last game of the season might come down to the division title vs Miami. I don't know why everyone keeps counting them out of the division race.

I’m envious of everyone being so confident by saying this will/should be a shoot out because Seattle has a bad defense. What makes you think they won’t come out zone defensing us to death like the past 4 opponents? Yes, we are 2-2 in those games, but I’m not sure I’ve seen a team struggle against zone defense quite like we have in those 4 weeks. It’s like we have no answers for it. Wild. 

 

we have no answers for it bc we have a mediocre coaching staff. 

 

Once Allen gets a proper offensive minded HC that can work with him is when he will reach his true potential.

I assume you are young because of your tendency to have such shortsighted takes, we in the 90s won against overmatched division teams by a few when we much better. When you know your opponent so well it causes close games often. Today's game was a big win from a mental stand point, next week we need to be better.

 

I mean I agree todays win was important but bills fans said the same thing last week. 

[Edmunds on last play...]

whatever you want to argue its pretty clear we need new LB's,  two of them. 

 

Beane needs to fix the mess he has put us in at the trade deadline. 

[Week 9: Seahawks at Bills]

Just now, Buffalo Timmy said:

This is the game that I think will tell us more about this team then any other game this year. Seattle might roll us, which would be telling, or we might fight and have a chance to win, but either way I think we learn a lot this week.

 

not really

 

todays game told us everything we need to know about this bills team.

[Week 9: Seahawks at Bills]

Play like we have nothing to lose

 

exotic blitzes and be aggressive on defense, on offense let Allen get going early. If we go into this game with a conservative mindset and play not to lose Seattle will roll us over 

[Why do other teams still complete deep passes when teams "take it away" but the Bills don't?]

Well when other teams coaching staffs come up with a game plan and it doesn’t work they know how to switch it and change things up to make it work 

 

our coaching staff doesn’t know how to do this. It’s why we get out coached in the 2nd half of games. 

[Week 9: Seahawks at Bills]

We should treat this as a game we have nothing to lose

 

Let Allen get hot early and get into a rhythm
