Low Positive

Fans want the offense to do whatever they are not doing. Not running a lot? RUN THE BALL, DABOLL! Running a lot? STOP WITH THE RUN, RUN, PASS, PUNT HACKETT! Taking a lot of deep shots? CHECK THE BALL DOWN, DORSEY! Checking down a lot? THROW THE BALL DOWN THE FIELD, TYROD!

If you look at my post history, I was calling for Josh Allen to check the ball down more as little as 2 weeks ago but yesterday's game changed my position. If Josh starts checking the ball down and stops trying to extend plays, we lose plays like the TD pass to Knox. On that play, Josh pump-faked to the RB in the flat before pulling the ball down and firing a laser to Knox in the back of the EZ. Josh Allen is not a pocket passer and he doesn't pass the "Tom Brady eye test." He's a Brett Favre or Ben Rothlesburger with much better wheels. The risk taking is part of the Josh Allen experience just like the QB runs.

On CBS, so maybe Romo and Nantz will just stay in town.

They have nothing at stake here. They can try anything and everything in their playbook.

This will not be a popular opinion, but you're not wrong.

If that didn't happen, they would be playing for a playoff spot right now. Just goes to show that all games count.

Wow. They brought the house on that blitz.

I don't care. If the BIlls can't beat a Tua-led Dolphins team then they have no chance against Cincinnati or KC.

A team would have to build an offense around his strengths, much like the Ravens and Eagles did. I think the Titans could make that work.

That is pretty much always the case. Imagine all those people who ran out and bought Fields jerseys after that win over the Pats if the Bears do this.

They could have not lost to the Panthers on Christmas Eve. 🤷‍♂️

I could say things about people's negativity being misplaced, but I would be a hypocrite. I am usually positive on the board, but you should hear what I yell at the TV. I'm not proud of some of the things that I said. Also, I'm going to have to go to Alta Fiber to get a new remote. I threw it when Taiwan Jones let that ball hit him in the leg. Anyway, we took the Pats best shot today and still came out with a win. In retrospect that is all that I can ask, given the circumstances. Ooh, Aah, Steelers on the golf course.

There is one of course...

Hines obviously. But Taron Johnson made a big hit in the third quarter and celebrated. That seems to wake up the whole team to the fact that they can still take joy in playing football. Because before that the Bills were not really hitting. It was like they were afraid of hurting someone.

Baltimore.

Well, i’m back to screaming at the TV.

That’s how you start a game.

I don’t know about that. I find that THC makes me make really questionable decisions. Mostly related to food, but we don’t need Josh taking even more risks.

The Ravens are tanking today. If by some chance we lose and fall to the 3 we would host then next week while the Pats would go to Cincinnati. But then the road to the SB would probably go through Paycor and Arrowhead. I say just win the game and play the Fins next week.

That’s if the Bills win. If the Bills lose, they host the Ravens and the Pats go to Cincinnati.

Now that the Ravens are essentially conceding their game, I don’t really care as much about the outcome of the Bills game today. If we lose, we most likely host the Ravens without Lamar next week. If we win, it will most likely be the Fins with Tua. So for next week a loss is preferable but long term not so much because that means going back to Cincinnati and going to Arrowhead. Either way, it’s a bit of a lose-lose.

I feel the same, but once the Bills miss a tackle I’m sure i’ll revert to full game day rage mode.

If the Bills can’t beat the Dolphins at home in the playoffs then they are not a very good team. I say “bring it on!”

Assuming both teams win their respective divisions, they’ll come to OP in 2024

Chargers win next week.
