It used be a Leslie Frazier problem, but Josh always got the blame. BTW, it’s awesome that Stroud & Houston just came back & won it anyway!

Does anyone remember that game where Josh Allen threw 2 interceptions in the 4th quarter to keep the Bills down by 2 scores. Then the Bills defense forced a big turnover to create an easy TD & then forced a 3 & out to get Buffalo a chance to win at the end? I don’t remember it either. Burrow is nothing but lucky today.

So, we’re 2-3 when Davis has 35 receiving yards or less. We’re 3-1 when he has more than 35 receiving yards. Not laying the blame for lack of yardage solely on Davis, but there’s a stat to keep an eye on.

That’s how I saw it. We held Cincinnati until it was a one score game. Then their offense looked like their first 2 drives. I think if Kincaid had not fumbled and we scored on that earlier drive, Cincinnati would’ve scored after our score. I would have been very surprised if we actually stopped them when it was a one score game in the second half. Also, I have to admit, Cincinnati’s coach doesn’t fall into the “playing not to lose” mindset that many coaches fall into.

We actually started well, on offense. Then, we decided we needed to establish the run on first down and completely changed the wide open play calling that worked on the first drive.

Yes, we have a lot of injuries on defense. However, regardless of our injury situation over the last few years, we have very rarely made big stops late in close games. I can’t remember the last time we got a turnover in a key late game situation. I would’ve gone for an onside kick with 3:32 left. That’s how little confidence I have in our defense in game on the line situations.

Our defense almost never makes stops late in close games. We should’ve tried an onside kick with 3:32 left.

Joseph did his job, taking 2 O-linemen. Dodson hides behind Joseph instead of filing the hole. That was a 4 point mistake.

I don’t think Burrow had to make one throw with a defender within 5 yards of the receiver. Our zone defense isn’t working.

Buffalo is 5-0 on Sunday night football since 2019. Josh Allen is 13-4 in prime time. We may not always play well in prime time, but we win a lot.

I was born in Buffalo 2 weeks later. So, I can (just barely) claim to be a lifelong Bills fan!

Throw the ball to more than one WR. Throw the ball to Kincaid when he hopefully returns next week. Let Knox block & be a secondary option, especially on key third down plays. Right now, the other team can focus on running plays and throws to Diggs & be right 80% of the time.

After watching a few other games today, I have one main thought about tonight’s game. If we didn’t have a scrambling quarterback, we would’ve lost. Josh’s ability to get away from a pass rush and improvise was the key to both TD drives. We really need a play call overhaul. The other teams aren’t being fooled very often. Buy hey, it’s a win.

After watching Geno Smith, I am so thankful we have Josh Allen! Geno didn’t throw another interception, he just held the ball until the d-line hit him on 2 consecutive 4th downs from inside the 10! Unbelievable lack of pocket presence!

Knox has 19 targets and 11 receptions. Kincaid has 19 targets and 17 receptions. Eventually Dorsey and Josh will figure out which TE has better hands and will be more reliable to catch passes on 3rd & 4th down.

What I’ve learned from Araiza Curse in this thread : 1. Tom Brady won Super Bowls because he studied film more than any QB in the history of the NFL….. it’s amazing AC was able to compile the necessary facts for this declaration. 2. Jim Kelly wasn’t smart enough to win Super Bowls…….so, that means if Kelly was smarter, Norwood wouldn’t have missed the 41 yard field goal. 3. Josh doesn’t study enough film to win Super Bowls……so, if Josh would’ve studied more film, he wouldn’t have left KC with 13 seconds to score. 4. AC’s logic skills aren’t the best.

I think a lot of people didn’t take the time to actually watch the video. It’s definitely a great video that shows what went into the design of the new stadium. I’m impressed with the entire project. The Pegulas really did focus on the fan experience and I think that will be the overriding legacy of the stadium. I’ll be very excited to travel back to Buffalo and see it in person in a few years!

Very good article on Zay Jones. It shows how little I & most fans really know about the players. I wasn’t a fan of Jones here in Buffalo, but I am now. I hope he has a great rest of his career (except when he plays against Buffalo!). Zay can be an inspiration to a lot of young people struggling today.

Tyreek Hill was dismissed from Oklahoma State University after his arrest for domestic abuse against his pregnant girlfriend over 8 years ago. Sadly, he still hasn’t been able to learn self control.

Thanks for sharing. This story, from a Diggs familial connection, adds to my belief in the underlying problem. Diggs can’t stand that Josh is getting the recognition that Diggs wants. The “he can do no wrong “ comment about Allen shows underlying jealousy on Diggs part. Diggs actions regarding the Bills this offseason are self-centered and immature. I don’t see this ending well. It looks like Minnesota part 2.

I really like Beane, but under today’s circumstances, this wasn’t a wise restructure.

Diggs social media since the season ended has looked like he is a former Bill. Maybe McD asked him if he is all in, & Diggs didn’t like it. If so, I’m with McD on this. Diggs needs to take the focus off himself and put his focus back on the team.

Today’s Diggs news is just a confirmation of his entire offseason attitude. He’s been acting like a self-centered diva who has a me first attitude. He was throwing a fit on the sideline of the Cincinnati game. He’s quietly and not so quietly continued to throw a fit ever since. Diggs hasn’t made positive comments on any new free agent signees or draft picks, he does make cryptic drama quotes, etc. I think the only positive Bills related comments were about former Bill, Cole Beasley. He retweeted McKenzie, Edmunds & Tyrod Taylor, but no current Bills. BTW, Vikings fans are laughing. They saw the same Diggs there that we’ve seen since January. Josh Allen is again having to take the high road and clean up a PR mess Diggs created. It’s been happening since the playoffs. Allen’s been a great friend and defender of Diggs. I’m hoping Diggs will eventually return the favor, but I’m not holding my breath.

I went to a Cleveland Indians game at the old Cleveland Municipal Stadium 30+ years ago. It was a night game in April and with the wind coming off Lake Erie, it was the coldest baseball game I’ve ever been to. Its old nickname,”the mistake on the lake” , kept coming to mind. My wife & I brought a blanket from the hotel and had to fight off the Indians mascot (at that time it looked kind of like the Phillies fanatic mascot), who kept trying to borrow our blanket! I’m thrilled & relieved that the Bills are officially staying where they belong, in Buffalo!
