Considering that Pete Carroll keeps trying to make them a running team, Metcalf might really be something in an offense where he was featured. They need a monster at center who is the rock of the offensive line like Star is for the defense. There is a lot of criticism of the Bills guards but I also see Morse frequently getting pushed back into Josh’s face.

I agree. They likely would’ve made the same decision that Mahomes wasn’t ready and we had Tyrod and Peterman. They still would’ve made the change to Peterman and then when he faltered, they may have gone to Mahomes or back to Tyrod. Then in 2018, Mahomes would’ve been more ready than Josh was but the talent around him would likely be the same. The whole roster wasn’t ready to be a contender until last season.

Because Roger says we need to.

On one play that sticks in my memory, the Titans had only 3 D-linemen, with Landry positioned near the edge, who was probably rushing. They ran a stunt and Landry got thru to sack Josh. Meanwhile, Williams is by himself near the line of scrimmage looking around for someone to block. I also noticed Williams a couple of times diving to try and get a hand on a rusher already running free. Same with Brown.

Yes, Josh is so good at throwing on the run to the right, I’d have rather seen them run that. Being outplayed in the trenches and running a QB sneak near the goal line was just dumb.

I guess this came from his time with Riverboat Ron.

I also watched the Niners/Arizona game and I thought it was bad with the flags. Then I watched this game.

You should turn this into a blog. Maybe call it something like ‘The Virgil Vibe’?

Do some people have that much free time to look for and dig up these things from years ago? It’s ridiculous. Let’s stir things up in Asia. In 1225, Genghis Khan said “The only good Russian is a dead Russian”

I watched the Niners/Arizona game and thought there were a ridiculous number of penalties. Then I watched the Bills game.

It appears that attending the Tight End Academy may have been very beneficial to him.

Even though I watch every game! I look forward to Virgil’s analysis.

For the TBD Survivor Pool, it was the easiest win, ripe for the taking. Instead, I decide to save the Bills for another week and pick the Titans over the winless Jets. That deserves a Homer-style DOH!

After a puzzling Washington play, he said “Fans of the WFT are probably thinking ‘WTF’”. That was hilarious and somewhat out of character for him.

He was also fairly elusive with some nice moves.

I’d like to give broadcaster Chris Myers a Game Mike for his comments after a puzzling Washington play when he said “The WFT fans must be thinking WTF”

I hope he can do the same to #12 on December 12th.

Bills are now 53-61-1 vs Miami all-time in regular season. This is significant when you consider they went 0-20 in the 1970s. Man those years were tough.

I was watching the NFL Network highlights show, Gameday Final and they had Zack Wilson talking to the NY press about facing the New England defense and the last question they had was a reporter asking “So, you weren’t like seeing ghosts out there?” Did Jerry Sullivan move to NY? While it was funny, I think it was stupid and juvenile to be asking this kid.

I disagree. There were many times last year that Josh stood in the pocket with no pressure. I recall a few times that he had so much time I rewound to see how long and it was 8 to 9 seconds. Against Pittsburgh, he didn’t have as much time. Their stunts were confusing the blockers at times and other times they just got beat.

They’ve all been against teams with good defenses who may have figured out ways to slow down this offense. Time for the coaches and players to make the proper adjustments.

With you 100%. I’ve been saying it since last season. You need to get any advantage you can vs the opposition. By consistently going with an empty backfield, you’re giving the defense the advantage of not having to worry about the run, unless it’s Josh running. If you have a RB back there, the defense doesn’t know what you’re going to do. That RB is also available to chip an unblocked defender or slip out as a safety valve if the rush is closing in on Josh. It has frequently been said over the years that one of the best ways to beat a relentless pass rush is to run a screen or two. Can anyone tell me how many screen passes the Bills ran yesterday? I wouldn’t be surprised if it was zero.

They had 2 weeks to prepare. It’s inexcusable!

Here I was thinking it would be great to be 4-0 before the back-to-back road games in KC and Tennessee, with the toughest game probably being this Week2 game in Miami. Now, have to hope for 3-1. I really liked how last regular season ended and hope it’s the new norm. The Patriots have always seemed to be working out the kinks in the first month or two and then go on a roll into the playoffs. That’s what the Bills did last year and is the best scenario. The Bills Super Bowl teams tended to be like 11-1 or 10-2 going into the last month and then finished 13-3 or 12-4. Granted, they usually could rest their starters in the last game but they didn’t seem to be playing their best at the end.

Haack also seemed to be moving slow and, yes, it looked like if he took another step he would’ve kicked it into the O-line
