We have Josh Allen and our offense. Not to mention, no one expected Hyde and Poyer to be what they turned into. Let’s see if Johnson will have a similar trajectory, we do have McDermott the db whisperer.

That’s all true and all. But I believe the Bills won’t let the Dolphins get this big down the field plays. Big plays for the Dolphins will have to come from short throws that generate tons of YAC (which they have the ability to do). We know our offense can move the ball, I also believe the Dolphins even if they move the ball down the field will have sole struggles in the red zone. We build a lead, force them to feel like they need to keep up, and then the game is in our hands. Tua has to show he can play 4 quarters of good football and not having to rely on broken coverage for big plays before we can give them the respect to think they will hang with the Bills offense. The other thing, our defensive line has been amazing so far to start the year. Tua will get pressured early, it will be interesting to see how handles the pressure throughout the game. Either way, I expect to see a reality check for Tua and the Dolphins, atleast compared to where most media pundits are placing the Dolphins.

When hurting a body part, evaluating the following day is a part of the process. Things can change overnight, like swelling. Your making something so simple very complicated. It’s the first game of the season, Ed’s fired up and probably said he could a still play if they needed him, but he is kept out. After evaluating the next day, the severity of the injury is determined to be such, that multiple weeks are needed to fully heal.

When I’m at home or at a game, I can barely sit. I’m just too excited and too pumped each time we make a big play (happens alot now). Usually when the game is well out of hand, that’s when I’m able to sit. When I was in Buffalo I tried to be as respectable as I could, I was lucky to be around other standers, so I followed the crowd. But man, when it’s a high pressure situation, it would take everything I have to sit for it.

I was very young during the Kelly years, as I’ve grew older and the team entered the drought I dreamed of the days I could be the one amongst my friends and family rooting for one of the top teams (grew up in Seahawk country). I love the Bills and will root for them no matter what, but we are exactly where I’ve always wanted to be (during season that is).

Some bad offenses I think is part of the reason.

Definitely some different variables from 2020 to now, the biggest being Josh’s overall consistent play. As far as this years team loosing, my guess is they lose on a game when making mistakes and can’t overcome them or due to injuries. I don’t expect to see a Jacksonville type game out of this years team, they just seem to have a different, more locked in vibe going.

I really appreciate hearing these types of observations from those in attendance. Thank you!

But can a defense take away the deep/intermediate passes and the short passes at the same time? It’s very hard to do both of those, it’s generally one or the other or man coverage. That’s the thing, we don’t need to rely on the run when Josh is doing so well at the short passing game. We can mix the run in here and there regardless of how to D is defending our passing attack. That’s why we are so deadly to start the season. Baltimore has had some injuries to their secondary, I believe one db was injured during the Dolphins game. Either way, their secondary got torched by the Dolphins stemming from miscommunications. I don’t think we have to worry about Baltimore’s secondary.

We KNOW Rex would fk this team up. 2017’s defensive turn around is exhibit 1 for proof of that. McDermott is a GREAT coach and one of the best in the League. Football is the ultimate team sport, and no single player or coach will be enough to win it all. Conversely no single player or coach is perfect, and will consistently be perfect. To not be happy with McDermott is just ridiculous, the odds of getting coach better than McDermott is slim to none, because the odds are the next coach would be worse, besides McDermott and Beane’s chemistry isn’t something to disregard either. The way we are on the inside is greatly reflected in the way we express ourselves. Look at your posts and comments over the years, you are a VERY negative/see the worst in things kind of person. Why? Do you expect perfection and anything less upsets you? Your perspective is so far from most everyone else, and your very adamant about the way you feel. From my perspective, it feels forced. True. He just wants those free plays so bad! Josh has such a killer instinct.

You have to admit, Josh is VERY good at drawing a defense Offside. He practically does so every game.

I thought for sure it was a career ender or worse. I’m so happy it wasn’t that bad, but your exactly right, coming back to football would the the best news regarding the severity.

Herbert’s next step is learning pre play where he wants to go, and manipulating the defense to make the throw more open. Herbert goes through his reads and very fast, but when they are covered, he’s out of his element.

I thought this exact thing live watching the game. Herbert isn’t quite at that level yet.

Drafting for, “need” can be hard to understand, because all teams do NEED to fill specific roles each season. I think the Raiders are a great example of drafting for need rather than BPA. Think of last years o-line pick in the first. They needed o-line help, but the value wasn’t there in the first, yet the Raiders still took a guy, rather than trading down or taking a better player at a different position. Beane will move up or down, to better align the value with the pick. He generally goes up and gets the guys he wants, or trades down when there isn’t a specific person he wants, but there is a strong possibility of a guy he likes drilling to him (example, he has 6 guys draftable, but doesn’t need any of them, he moves down 4 spots and atleast 2 should be available). I really enjoy Beane as GM. Between his in season trades, contract extensions, drafting, and the wizardry!

Any given Sunday and all, but this Bills team is WAY better than the Dolphins. If Tua can’t throw deep, I Imagine the Bills win by 10+.

It’s worse than that though. The Broncos could have took a timeout (they had 3, or maybe 2 min) and had 40+ seconds on the clock and 4th and 5. They should have gone for the first down for sure, I can’t believe they didn’t.

I haven’t paid for their extra content, and the video posted isn’t of the critical nature. But they routinely do point out the negative, and the plays that didn’t work when dissecting film. Usually that’s in their more complete game analysis.

As bad as his take was, he was trying to say Allens command of the offense was such that he, “has it” now or aka he can potty now. Horrible I know, but this was the take in full context.

It was just one week, I’d venture to guess there will be some minor changes from week to week. This last game, Davis had nearly all of the offensive snaps (he sat out 2, one being the kneel down). Certainly an injury could have cost them, but it also seems the Bills were prepared to keep Davis in all game, while rotating, Diggs, McKenzie, Crowder, and a little Kumrow sprinkled in. Diggs had around 65% of the snaps, down a bit from last seasons use. Let’s see how the next couple of weeks shake out. Shakir looked very good in pre season, I have to imagine he won’t be inactive all the time even without injuries to the wr group. Miss might be a better pass blocker, but Singletary isn’t bad at that at all. I didn’t see last years pass blocking metrics, but Moss’s rookie year he was ranked number 1, while Singletary was top 5. So it’s really splitting hairs to keep Moss around because he is a better pass blocker. I will say this about Moss, even though his numbers from game 1 aren’t great, he looked better than last year. There are a few runs where he looked dead to rights in the backfield and worked some magic just to make it a couple yard game, so he can’t be judged on numbers alone. We honestly need Cook to step up and prove he can be relied upon, because having all 3 active each week isn’t what we need in the long run. Moss and Singletary are too redundant.

When I’ve listened to Cook, I didn’t get that impression at all. He came across as quiet, shy, and didn’t elaborate too much. I don’t think he has found his comfort zone talking in front of cameras yet, but that was my impression.

I was much younger, but I seem to recall Moulds was a good hand catcher? Anyone have memories of Moulds catching abilities?

Yeah, Huntley isn’t a star. The point I was trying to make is, Huntley could lead a good team. He’s definitely serviceable, but the AFC is ago stacked at QB, you pretty much need a star QB.

I too like the strategy, but remember, “13 seconds”, we took timeouts before each of those plays 🤦‍♂️

1-3 yes, but that squad was so banged up last year, it’s hard to use it as an example. Lamar is certainly better than Huntley, but Huntley did look serviceable in my opinion, and he’s the perfect backup to Lamar.
