Matt_In_NH Posted September 8, 2019 Posted September 8, 2019 I had this thought. What if Zay Jones had the game Beasley had today? He would be getting fried. Who is to blame for the pick six? It was “catchable” but it had a lot of heat and was not well placed.

folz Posted September 8, 2019 Posted September 8, 2019 49 minutes ago, Simstim said: Seems to me the biggest difference maker was CJ Mosley. He was on, we were poor. He was off, we were much better. I don't really agree with this narrative. Yes, Mosley made some big plays and not having him as a signal caller late in the game definitely hurt the Jets, but the Bills were moving the ball with ease in the first half as well, they were just turning the ball over. It's not like the Jets D was stifling when Mosley was in and then fell apart, it was just the Bills made a lot of mistakes in the first half, but not the second. In the first half, we had two 9-play drives, a 7-play drive, a 5-play drive. They only had one 3-and-out and only two punts. The rest of the drives ended with turnovers. 4 1

That's how I thought they'd use him. They were probably playing it safe by giving the veteran the start and trying to ease the rookie in. I guess we can consider him eased in now Good take kind sir!!!

Yea, they're strong in the middle of the field so you run outside. Don't understand why "strong up the middle" means throw the ball every down. Edited September 8, 2019 by Luka
Rocket94 Posted September 8, 2019 Posted September 8, 2019 I missed the game, but I could occasionaly check in on my phone. I could feel the tension without even seeing it. Good job Bills! Excellent perseverance when it mattered...excellent game to build on...please don't make a habit of it!

Also I’ll add I like what the Bill$ did with the draft. The word is resilience. He showed it today

The ball just took a funky hop right into Mosley’s hands. It wasn’t the type of pick that leaves you shaking your head about the quarterback’s decision making, and makes you question if he’s “the guy”. It was the unfortunate kind that happen over the course of a season, and you hope the team can overcome. All four turnovers were exactly the same variety. Exactly correct. There wasn't anything Allen did today that made me think he didn't belong out there. Much improved in decision making, in accuracy, in reading the D. And he never panicked. 5

I think he will be one of those guys that will win games but doesn't have highlight stats...but will have highlight moments. Feeling encoruaged.
daz28 Posted September 8, 2019 Posted September 8, 2019 Found it a bit strange they didn't take a closer look at the spot on Bell's 2nd effort first down. It was awfully close, and would have been nice to see where his knee went down. 2

Allen showed a resolve you can not be coached. Good quote from Coach Cowher on post-game... he said "adversity doesn't build character, it reveals it." I had my doubts earlier in the game, but Allen shook off the turnovers and made plays when he had to. He wasn't alone... it was a great team win. 5 1
Kelly the Dog Posted September 8, 2019 Posted September 8, 2019 It's possible that there was somewhat of a pitch count on Bell, but what the hell were the Jets thinking not using him way more. We really couldn't stop him, especially in the passing game.

The other six games that were on....some really bad offensive football was played across the league. Yup, the poor play is because teams are Not taking preseason seriously, they are not capitalizing on the given opportunity to play opposing teams to fine tune their own games, they are treating it like the pro bowel. Go Bills!!! Edited September 8, 2019 by Don Otreply
BillsCuse Posted September 8, 2019 Posted September 8, 2019 1 hour ago, JR in Pittsburgh said: Totally inaccurate. The jets pretty much played the same way the entire game. There was no “collapse.” The Bills finally got out of their own way. This 100%. The Bills controlled that whole game, turnovers just killed them in the first half. 4

Despite the fluke turnovers, he persevered. Never looked lost. Amd just kept making the plays that needed to be made. He made every throw.. Long and short, hit receivers in stride, led the team when they needed it most. Damn fine way to start the season!! 9

He gave a huge pop up on some of Peterman's famous 5 turnover half as well.
