I mean, that's stuff we all saw the 1st 2 weeks.
I think the main debate on this thread is sample size.No disrespect to Mr Cosell but we did see all those things at numerous times throughout last season in a lot of the same situations we've been in these first two weeks. If he's getting consistently pressured with 4 he gets those happy feet and never really sets when he throws. So yea I think you're on to something with sample size

This is what I don't get. Pegula has already chosen where he wants it and no dome. So the "study" may instead say: "no! come downtown and we will build a domed stadium for you at over 2 billion!"?
What happens to the local revenue when it gets cold in Green Bay, Pittsburgh, Cleveland, NE....?
And, back to the "year round events" stuff? Yes, think of all the lobby weddings and HS proms they could cash in on.
nah:
do you live in the city?
its certainly better than it was but new york city is much further away from pre pandemic levels than anywhere else. I live in the suburbs about 50 miles north

Our O-Line is gonna have their hands full Sunday, WTF has a very stout D-Line. That is really the only part of their team that really concerns me TBH.
Pretty weak at linebacker though and they don't have anywhere near the skill at DB that pit or Mia have...Josh can find a hole in that front 4 and step through and make them pay with his legs...Daniel Jones ran all over them

I did notice that Watt missed part of the game, and that Bush and Haden were inactive.
The Raiders were also missing their starting RB and LG.
Pittsburgh's D didn't look very impressive in the playoffs last year, either.
Tough to judge that cuz the Steelers offense melted down so hard in the first half against Cleveland and it completely changed the complexion of the game...steelers backups nearly beat the browns in the regular season

Fair enough Karlos, but who’s better? Josh isn’t having a great start either, but no one is calling for Mitch right now. I just know if someone is calling for a benching, who is better? Or do you work with him and see how he can improve.
People were calling for mitch in the game day thread 🤣 it is wild in there
On 9/21/2021 at 12:36 AM, bobobonators said:Man, can you sit back for a second and just think about what youre saying. Just break it down and lets walk it through together. You are claiming these two defenses are top 50 all time. Lets not even count all-time bc it’s just silly and i refuse to entertain it. Instead, lets pretend the NFL began in 2000. Thats 20+ yrs of football. Now, lets take the top 3 defenses in the NFL each of those seasons. Those are really damn good defenses to be in the top 3. That over 60 amazing defenses just in 20+yrs of football. Yet somehow after 2 weeks the dolphins are among the top 50 defenses of all time? Dude.
This Steelers defense isnt even the best Steelers defense of all time, let alone top 50 NFL all time. Its probably not even among the top 3 Steelers defenses of all time. Did you watch the 2008 Steelers obliterate everyone? You ever hear of the Steel Curtain? They werent given that name bc of their offensive prowess.
The Legion of Boom for multiple years. The Broncos that won the SB w Miller. The Bucs that won the SB w the Tampa 2 in the 2000s. The dolphins in the 70s. The Bears in the 80s. The Bears w Urlacher in the 2000s. Heck even the Bills defense that finished top 3 back in the day under Wade Phillips would B word slap this Dolphins defense. Yikes man. Thats just off the top of my head with zero research.
To be fair it's tough to compare current defenses with old ones because playing defense is basically illegal now lol you get flagged for everything

Going to leave this here.
He has time, he's just not connecting.
I hope this gets corrected soon!
I would say that proves the exact opposite of what youre saying....hes not far ahead of everyone else in average time to throw and hes probably the least blitzed qb in the league. Theres two deep safeties and 7 guys in coverage all game long. Not to mention hes mobile so hes taking time to avoid rushers and trying to find a receiver...just because the TT shows whatever doesnt mean he had a clean pocket that long

a 9 and a half spread is a little rich against a good defense like Washington.
I think a lot of that has to do with what the giants were able to do to them...daniel jones had just about 100 yards rushing. They have given up 400+ yards/game which is 25th in the league.

People laughed at me after last year and preseason because passing looked so easy. A GREAT team needs to be balanced! You MUST be able to run the ball, even when they know it’s coming.
.
I dont think anyone would argue that but if they passed a little less and rushed the ball 20 more times for an average of 3ypc or less against that steelers front 7...how balanced really is that? We'd all be screaming STOP RUNNING THE BALL at the TV. I can see what we were going for week 1 by trying to create as many mismatches as possible cuz their secondary only has two very good dbs but that pass rush gave Josh a case of the happy feet.

It's a very disappointing, short-sighted, small town, bush league plan. Agreed.
As the only team that actually plays in NYS, and the fact that there is no way the politicians will let the Bills leave, the Pegulas should press the state much harder to pony up what is needed to get an awesome new stadium downtown, a bunch of new surrounding bars/restaurants/commercial space, and the added infrastructure to support it (expand 190, add ramps, add rail from airport to downtown).
I dont care if they say it will cost $3B. NYC is good for it. Make it happen.
NYC is pretty much broke after covid...Tons of people moved away and they are begging people to come back.

Allen did really perform that well this time around, so I guess the real difference is the coaches knowing how to scheme against the..
Flores put a nice defensive game plan together finally...it took him like 5 tries. He was stubbornly running a scheme that josh allen excels against up until last Sunday. Of course our front 7 absolutely annihilated them the game Flores finally got his defense right lol Tua was getting sacked 10+ times without a doubt. I thought brissett actually showed some flashes considering we were in the backfield all game long

Perhaps. Betting always comes with risks. It's quite possible the Bills cover. The betting line has moved from 9.5 to 7.5. That is a huge move betting wise. The public obviously think similar to me. Doesn't mean they or myself are correct. I like where I stand at plus 9.5. My fear is that Wash doesn't put up points vs the Bills D.
Yea it seems like one of those too good to be true bets to me lol logically what you did makes sense though and you got in before the line move so you're ahead of the game. Yea the defense is the gamechanger...last years bills I'd take wsh +9.5 because I don't think we'd give their qb who's last name I can't spell properly much trouble 🤣 and we'd probably win by less than 7 in some kind of shootout. This years offense is not firing on all cylinders yet but a 13-3 win and the bills cover lol

Na I think daboll kind of outsmarted himself week 1 trying to create mismatches with the steelers dbs rather than running the football into the brick wall front 7 of the pit defense and Josh never got comfortable.
6 hours ago, Gen2 said:IMHO something is wrong with Josh. It could be some niggling little injury that is hampering his mechanics, could be his big contract is messing with his mind (god I hope not), maybe something even on the home front messing with him. If you have any of last years games saved on your DVR, look at his body language post snap, pre release. He would get the ball, get to his "spot" and set up in a firm steady base and either throw the ball or decide to roll out or run. This year he just looks indecisive, he never "sets his base". Shoot last year sometimes he'd stand soooooo stock still I would think the TV picture had frozen, this year his feet never stop moving.
I have no doubt he (and the offense) will shortly return to last years form no matter what the problem is, and with Washington and Houston on our immediate horizon we have a better than average chance to win even at a diminished capacity .... as long as the ship is righted prior to KC & Tenn I'll be happy.
Hes got both eyes on the offensive line cuz he has no confidence in those guys and he's had happy feet the last couple games...happened last season at times too. Last years form included games like that...TEN absolutely embarrassed us he was horrible that game. He doesn't think he has time to set his feet cuz he's getting hit/evading pressure all game long when teams aren't even blitzing. Better qbs have had far worse games under those circumstances than the last two josh has had

Dabol needs to stop forcing plays that are not working for long-ish stretches of games, iirc he said as much himself in a post game presser. I like aggressive play calling that pushes the ball down field as much as the next guy, but sometimes it is as if Dabol can’t read the defense his offense is playing, and make the spot adjustments needed, I’m just an arm chair guy, is it just me, or is Dabol at times so fixated / inflexible on his game plan that he can’t see the forest through the trees so to speak? Yeah, I know things will improve, over time, but there is only 17 times during the regular season…, 😁👍
Go Bills!!!
Coaches are so freaking stubborn...I love when they talk about belichick tailoring game plans to the individual opponent as some earth shattering concept during the broadcast lol most coaches just try to force what they like to do down the other teams throat. I think he took the hint finally half time at the Miami game that going through progressions with 3 deep routes when your offensive line is struggling probably isn't the best way to go lol

I know it’s difficult to sweep the division, but there’s really no reason we shouldn’t.
We just saw what we did to Miami, and the Offense isn’t even remotely clicking.
The Jets are a dumpster fire.
The Pats could give us a game, but comparing our 1-1 start to their 1-1 start - the two teams really aren’t close in terms of talent.
I still cannot believe Flores finally cooked up a decent defensive game plan and still got absolutely blown out against us...so weird to not see them blitzing and playing man all game lol
11 hours ago, corta765 said:The AFC is pretty wild this year as all of the division winners from last year are 1-1, the Broncos and Raiders are 2-0 (wtf), and the only 0-2 teams are the Jags, Jets (no surprise), and Colts (partial surprise). Given the power the #1 seed has now in the playoff picture and the ability to get especially KC on the road and not home for any contender, this year is shaping up to be a dog fight for whoever does get the #1 seed.
So with that said if you look across the board at Bills opponents schedules, the Bills schedule itself, and just some basic guessing a few thinks shake out:
- The Ravens win opened the AFC big time to the #1 seed. KC's division is improved and even if they win it they are going to lose a game if not two. With a AFC conference loss already in the books a Bills or Titans win could really hurt KC further in the battle for 1
- The Ravens themselves are a threat for the top seed, but their division is a buzz saw and attrition will play a factor. 12-5 will probably take the division, but they need to hope KC can get there too
- This is without a doubt KC's toughest schedule since Mahomes started and isn't super hard to get them to 12-5 as they have BUF, TEN, GB, DAL, PIT and their full gambit of division games. Going 7-4 in those games is nothing to slouch at and those are all quality opponents.
- If KC does go 12-5 the whole tie breaking procedure will probably be wild
- The Bills do not need to necessarily win both KC/TEN, but they have to beat one if they want to be in the dance for the #1 seed. Win both and your in the front seat.
- The Bills schedule is heavy early on, but after the bye the only tough games are NOLA, TB, & NE. They really need to clean up wins quick against their lesser opponents and if they do they will have a good look.
- The loss to PIT hurts more in the sense that 13-4 which probably takes the cake only allows 3 more losses. They have KC/TEN/NOLA/TB all on the road and somehow have to go 2-2 minimum so they can afford one loss somewhere else.
- The Titans may be the biggest threat to the Bills as they have BUF, KC, SF, & LAR but otherwise a probably soft schedule especially considering the Jags & Texans being weak and the Colts current implosion. Truthfully beating the Titans might be more important then KC just given the fact they have a similar amount of soft opponents as Buffalo
- Cleveland's schedule is no joke like Baltimore and they also need to hope that 12-5 is the mark to get the top seed. Between the division and the quality of opponents they have its tough sledding
- I do not think the Raiders are a contender (they are a playoff team though), but they already are 2-0 with two big AFC wins including a tiebreaker with Baltimore. If they can go 4-2 division wise they could be a sneaky contender to get to 13 wins as they play the NFC East which is a dog plus weaker looking teams like IND, CHI, & Cincy. Who knows with Gruden they have started hot before, but Carr does look good and the longer they keep winning the bigger a threat they become.
Overall for the AFC I think if someone gets to 13 wins it will take the #1 seed. The level of competition is vastly higher in the AFC already and personally I think it would be really fun if 12 wins took the #1 seed and the chaos of the tiebreakers.
Get to 4-1 with a win over kc then we'll talk lol AFC west and North are getting very competitive though so for the second time in a long time looks like we are the ones in an unfairly easy division 🤣 nothing against NE though they will still be a tough out

He doesn't trust his protection and he's playing with one eye on the defensive front and is unwilling to step into his throws.
Agreed...and none of this is new. He has always struggled even with well blocked routine throws in games where teams have been dropping 7 into coverage and getting home with a 4 man rush. People are acting like this is something new since he signed his contract. I dont mean it as an excuse since it's something he can improve on himself but in games where we're a little more stout up front I think you'll see the same offense as last year or a better one
5 hours ago, Bad Things said:Perhaps we were a a bit premature with all of the Jordan Palmer praise.
I dont think so...he has improved over last season in games where his oline can't block 4 guys...we just had two such games in a row to start the season rather than tucked somewhere in the middle so we're all panicking 🤣 seems like daboll at least adjusted the playcalling halfway through the dolphins game to compensate...the man is as stubborn as an ox

Sorry, I can't give Gronk any props at all. He pushes off constantly, only seen him called once. And what he did to Tre' was the dirtiest thing I've ever seen outside #DirtyKiko. ***** him and the horse he rode in on. The rest of the list is great, we can quibble about the spots, but the names are right.
Whenever hes reasonably covered I don't think I've ever seen him not push off lol I guess you get some special privileges playing with Brady they had a nice pushoff victory week 1 🤣

He looks quite good to me. I don't like the fact that he's on the Patriots, that's for sure. Saying he's rag-armed or being set up for success seems akin to whistling past the graveyard to me. He made a lot of great throws at Bama last year that demonstrated he could play.
Disagree. The Pats roster is very strong top to bottom and as I said, he looks good. The Bills can definitely win the division, but they're not a shoo-in.
He looks much better than Cassel to me.
Kind of a semantics thing but I'd say thats more being worried about the team than mac jones himself. He looks like he is the type of QB they need to be competitive with the defense they have but its impossible to say at this point if hes the 'i can put the team on my back and win' guy. i think cam was a tougher matchup for us last year than mac is going to be this year but overall mac is already a better qb than cam is if that makes any sense lol

I just locked in Wash at +9.5. Think the Bills win but don't cover. The Bills defense is playing very well and the offense... I see more of the same here. The Bills offense will try to establish a more balanced attack to take the pressure off Allen. I don't see a quick turn around for Allen. He won't make rookie mistakes, his legs will be valuable, he will make a few nice throws, and he will manage the game and the Bills to a victory. Imho, it's the defense that wins the game.
Buffalo 24
Wash 17
i guess it hasnt fully sunk in that we could have a good defense lol its very easy to cover 9.5 when youre giving up 10 points or less. not to mention daniel jones absolutely burned that defense running the football.

Maybe we’re seeing different things but I thought their front 7, especially the down 4 lineman are causing all sorts of problems. I don’t think they’re nearly as “splash” up front as PIT and no where near the caliber of MIA on the back end.
That being said, that DL is made up of 4 first round picks, and after what we saw with the Steelers, I’m making sure my OL is ready to come to play.
Dline maybe but theyre iffy at every linebacker position and average in the secondary which is very different than the PIT or MIA defensive situation. Should be roastable over the middle....I hope? Lol

Not really sure how this pertains to what I said when I noted he's gotten no favors from the OL or Daboll. I also said I expect him and our offense to get better as the year rolls along. I closed out by telling the people looking for reasons to jump off of the wagon right now ✌️✌️, as in deuces, or don't let the door hit you, or here let me give you a push, or
off, or bye Felicia. I still hold to the thought that Allen is so competitive that he's pushing a bit right now though. That will wear off as the season goes along, as long as the OL does their job.
Haha I didn't really make it clear enough 🤣 I agree with a lot of what you said but I dont think it has anything to do with his contract/him trying to hard. He just historically hasn't been good at the looks the defenses the first two weeks have been able to throw at us personell wise but really nobody is. Miamis defense is really not a great matchup for us but Brian Flores has put together laughable game plans up until Sunday that played right into Josh's strengths. We really could be seeing a better josh allen than last year he normally absolutely melts down in games like that like the chiefs game and the titans game last season

Our QB kindve played like a JAG…. I think it means they push even harder for Watson…
Easy to say until you see what a JAG wouldve done that game lol coverage was tight...rush was coming quick even when we kept extra blockers in. 2019 Allen throws 3+ picks that game...Peterman throws 12 picks that game 🤣
6 hours ago, LABILLBACKER said:Tua is not the answer and I think they knew that last year. They couldn't grab Watson. This division will come down to us and the Cheats. Flores is a good coach but without a qb they're stuck.
I love how they sold the 'bringing in fitzpatrick as the closer at qb' as not being based on their low confidence in Tua loll I don't think Flores is a good coach...he did a lot with minimal talent but he hasn't done much more with a good amount of talent.

I think its just Josh is having confidence issues and when it comes back, you’ll see 2020 Josh again.
I think 2020 josh looked much worse against a tough 4 man rush and the rest of the d in coverage and were already seeing a better josh than last year...people just don't realize it because they only care about stats and a qb is never allowed to miss an open receiver even though that consistently happens league wide especially early in the season lol the amount of teams that can pull that off personnel wise are slim and we just happened to face two of them in a row

I am all for the don't judge a guy based on two games.
But to say he has been in extremely difficult situations and that is the problem?
He is missing plenty of open WR, overthrowing balls, underthrowing balls, etc. I dont think he has made that many what are you doing throws which is a good thing. Makes me think something is slightly off with his mechanics. This has always gotten JA in trouble at times and he needs to settle down and focus on the fundamentals.
I agree with a lot of that but he has always done those things in the situations he has found himself in this season and he has been smarter with the football...that's literally my point 🤣 our pass blocking was solid for a lot of last season and it will likely be solid for a lot of this season but he hasn't had those games yet. We got absolutely spanked in games where we got whooped by 4 man rushes last season and this season we could be a blocked punt away from 2-0 against two solid teams because he's managed the games pretty well rather than melting down trying to carry the team. it's unknowable at this point but he could easily be ahead of last season and as a complete football team we could be considerably ahead of last season
Williams needs to be benched

He didn't have much time against Miami either...he bought a lot of time with his legs rolling all over the pocket to the point where he was unsettled in the pocket even in the rare situations where he got time. Difference between week 1 and week 2 was josh made all the plays in the red zone and we won by 100 🤣
Lol yea I think we get in the habit of comparing our team to an ideal perfect team...every team is going to have holes even the great ones and especially in a cap reduced year
