To me, a lot of it is on Allen not setting protections properly. I keep saying it, but it looked very similar to the Bengal playoff loss from last year. Allen seemed confused by the blitzes the Giants were running, didn't have the protections set properly and didn't know where the "answer" was on offense to get the ball out quickly. Seemed to get much better in the 2nd half, so hopefully that is a positive sign moving forward. There were several plays where multiple Bills OLinemen were standing around blocking air as 2 Giant defenders were on top of Allen almost unblocked from the snap...IMO, that points to protection calls being wrong and telling them to block the wrong people.

people really have recency bias badly on this forum. We beat bad teams worse than any other team in the NFL does typically.

He can't be involved more...he is trying to stay Anon as much as possible.

Yes, because the Bills passing attack was remedial under Greg Roman...same as it was in Baltimore...best run game in the NFL, passing game was like 8th grade level football.

I think the answer on O is that Allen is having trouble setting blitz protections properly in some looks he is getting...saw it in the Bengal playoff loss, saw in the Jags game, saw it last night. Appeared to improve in 2nd half... Guys were getting free when they had the people to block them, they simply were not in the right position to do so, and that is on Allen...and Morse if he is helping Allen still with those line calls.

Interesting look...Davis appears to be down with possession? Why was this not overturned on replay review...should have been looked at by the booth since it was a turnover?

Huh? We had one of the best rushing attacks in the NFL when Tyrod was here including leading the NFL in rushing one year by a wide margin. What are you talking about?

IMO, it starts with Allen setting protections properly up front. Too many pressures seemed to be from Allen not setting protections properly last night and the Giants getting quick pressures from guys that should have been blocked but weren't. Seemed very similar to the Bengal playoff game...Allen was under duress a lot during that game also, and again, it seemed he didn't seem to know what he was seeing or how to get it blocked.

What could have been the biggest blunder didn't turn out to be one since they scored anyway, but that shotgun run attempt on 2nd and inches from the goalline where Murray lost 2 yards was mind numbing to me...the only acceptable call in that situation is an Allen tush push...3 of them in a row if needed. Likely scores on the 1st one, but there is no excuse for that run call there. The actual TD pass to Harty on the next play was equally as brilliant as the previous playcall was terrible, he literally jogged into the endzone with no Giant defender on his side of the field.

IMO, to me, Allen has trouble setting protections properly in whatever looks the Giants were giving him yesterday which seemed eerily similar to the ones the Bengals gave in the playoffs last year that derailed the offense and Allen looked uncomfortable for most of that game. Seemed like the Bills had enough blockers to pick up what the Giants were doing but they simply didn't and to me it looked like they were looking to block someone else on a lot of those plays where the defender went right by them. Allen seemed to self-correct to a large degree by the 2nd half because he put up pretty good numbers after halftime including going 11 for 11 at one point, so hopefully whatever that was, he got it figured out, because now it's on tape twice and it won't be long until other teams try to copy this.

he had a bad game...doesn't usually have many and I am confident he will be fine.

We usually don't, we usually destroy them.

Well...this week featured a lot of very good to great teams either losing to much worse teams or barely scraping by... Chiefs scraped by the Broncos. Eagles lost to the Jets. 49ers lost to the 3rd string QB in Cleveland. Bills scraped by the Giants. I'd rather wake up today with the W in a "bad win" than with an L in a "great loss". You don't get awarded style points in the NFL, only L's or W's at the end of the day.

IMHO, that gameplan from Martindale was eerily familiar from the Bengals playoff game where Allen seemed under duress the entire the game. To ME, just while watching, it appeared Allen is having trouble setting the protections properly because there are often enough guys to block the defenders, but guys are getting free almost immediately, which seems like it's because they aren't blocking the right people. Not sure if anyone else can comment on this who might know more, but this it looked very similar to the Bengal playoff game last night where he was confused and under pressure a LOT right from the start of the play, and to me, that can only mean his protections are not set up properly to block right. Positive sign was that he seemed to figure it out at the half because his numbers coming out of halftime were much better.

I was wearing my blue JA17 jersey until the half then switched into my Color Rush red Diggs jersey. Allen looked so much better the 2nd half. You are welcome.

Not sure how much of that is on Dorsey. Allen seems to be having trouble with certain disguised blitz looks and from what I'm seeing, it "appears" he is not setting the protections properly for them leading to quick pressure when the BIlls have enough guys to block them. Not sure if anyone who knows more of the nuances can chime in, but that is what it looks like to my untrained eye... Honestly, last night reminded me a lot of what the Bengals did against in the playoffs us where Allen looked bad for a lot of the game. He is going to need to figure that out sooner rather than later because it's on tape now multiple times.

Maybe he will refuse to go in against the Bills because he doesn't want Diggs to smoke him all game.

Tyrod is not a good QB and against good teams he usually sucked badly...like 50 yards passing in the 4th quarter bad.

We likely would see the 56 yards passing in the 4th quarter Tyrod we all know and love.

Now the real fun begins... Not only do we have some major injuries we already know about, now we get to see all the players who played the whole game and will be DNP this week and likely out for the following game on top of them. Luckily we are playing a team that has scored only 3 offensive points in the first half of games this year. Bills should be up by about 4 TDs going into the 2nd half.

I only got dressed up in head to toe Bills gear 20 minutes before kickoff instead of my normal hour.

Apparently traded because he refused to go on the field when the other player was hurt and forced the dude to play on a gimpy ankle 72 out of 73 snaps... What a joke. "Wasn't warm enough" was his excuse for not going in among a host of others. https://www.yahoo.com/sports/report-former-chargers-cb-j-001544001.html Does it matter? Their offense has been outscored by the opposing defense the last 2 games 28-3.

I mean it's hard to really talk about preparation when the Bills have an average margin of victory over the past 3 years of almost 11 points per game when including EVERY game(including losses). That's an almost impossible bar to maintain.

If you are tailgating then you'll probably just need to leave the tailgate early to head into the stadium...if you are trying to time it properly and just arrive...that will be tricky. I would say give it AT LEAST 2 hours before gametime to make sure everything is situated properly.

It was an experiment because the NFL is considering allowing the Jags to use London as their home stadium while they build a new stadium in Jacksonville. The plan would be for them to play all their home games there in a row then all their away games in a row,. or vice versa. Thank you NFL for roping the Bills into your little experiment and doing so with circa 1985 Astrodome turf. Wasn't bad enough they had to get set up for a huge disadvantage with the schedule, they also had to play on walmart carpet.
