So is it just Allen who is 0-2 in big games, or the whole team? I agree he didn’t have a great game against KC, but in the other 6 games this year he has played “alright” or better. Remember it wasn’t Allen who let KC run for 240+ or allowed the Titans to break containment seemingly at will. Yes he needs to play well tomorrow but more importantly the defense had to play well tomorrow. I’m much more concerned about them than I am about how well Josh will play 2

It was, in my opinion, the 3rd best of the series after Empire and A New Hope Im not a star wars fanatic at all but I think you could make the case Rogue One could even be number two. It was fantastic. 2

Success Posted October 31, 2020 Posted October 31, 2020 For any locals - has the weather forecast downgraded a bit? When I check the websites, it looks like they're now predicting the winds in the teens, with gusts up to 25 mph (about half of what it was a few days ago...)

My main point is that the team needs JA to lead the offense to TDs and not Tyler Bass attempts. There is no Brady & co. anymore but until we stick it to that franchise it feels like the same game from the last 20 years. Its not just Josh, it's the whole offense. They need to stop taking stupid penalties and learn how to run the football. Sometimes Daboll needs to be better too. Sometimes guys need to not drop the football too. Josh makes mistakes, but so does the whole offense. Josh is all people want to talk about though. 37 minutes ago, NewEra said: The rams game wasn’t big? Please explain why Because we won.

Dr.Sack Posted October 31, 2020 Posted October 31, 2020 Stop the Patriots running game. Run the ball for more yards. Don’t turn the ball over. Win.

Yes he needs to play well tomorrow but more importantly the defense had to play well tomorrow. I’m much more concerned about them than I am about how well Josh will play Right on! The whole team...... No question that Titans and KC weren't Allen's best games --- coulda done without the turnovers vs. Tenn and also with settling in to "take what the D gives us" and not "get a little greedy" - could have sustained drives vs. KC...always room to do better, always. But the defense laid two eggs - granted, without some of our best players or with them hampered. But this idea that the wins and losses are on the QB has gotten beyond old. When we win, the whole team wins - not just Allen. Allen correctly pointed out he doesn't make a game winning drive against the Rams without great OL and WR play. By the same token, when we lose, the whole team loses - not just Allen. All that said, we do need Josh to play well and I am concerned about that...he needs to come out ready to play, not amped up and with the ball sticking to his hand when he passes and not going where he wants it. He needs to take what they give him from the very first drive, not wait until the 2nd half. And he needs to take care of football - DON'T FUMBLE!

Hapless Bills Fan Posted October 31, 2020 Posted October 31, 2020 Sounds like currently the weather forcast for Sunday is yucky, but not that dire: https://weather.com/weather/hourbyhour/l/5c42bffa43df6982dc129049735910193259e13f1cf064308586bb9c73e6f515 1
Mr. K Posted October 31, 2020 Posted October 31, 2020 1 hour ago, Hapless Bills Fan said: I think it feels that way to the fans, but hopefully the players have more sense of perspective. On paper and trying to be objective and take the BBFS "oooooh, the Patriots!" out of it, it's a matchup in which it looks as though our offensive strength may be neutralized by weather, and the other team's strengths may match up against our weakness (and vice versa). We need JA to take what the D gives him - nothing more, nothing less. JA can't "lead the team to TDs" if the Turf Monster trips the TE who has a clear shot at the goal line or the TD pass he throws is called back for "illegal formation", or penalties shove us into a down-and-distance hole. Allen can continue to improve at identifying opportunities - finding the open man (he had some shots he didn't take) and of course, try to hang onto the rock better when sacked (though that has to be tough) Its not so much the "oooooh the pats!" Its more 3 weeks in a row of subpar performances. Which cycles me back to "here we go again" if they cant come away with the W. It wont be DOOOOOOM if they lose this game. However, the schedule isn't getting any "easier." Side note: I would much rather play a "hard" schedule as it speaks to last seasons results

YoloinOhio Posted October 31, 2020 Author Posted October 31, 2020 Not bills related, but Allen Robinson just cleared protocol today and is playing tomorrow. Wonder if that’s possible for Hyde. There was talk that he had to practice first but guess it’s a team decision 1

They were talking about 50 mph gusts a few days ago. No QB can pass downfield at 50 mph. 20 mph isn't great, but it opens up the passing game much more.

No QB can pass downfield at 50 mph. 20 mph isn't great, but it opens up the passing game much more. The 20mph windspeed is just the prediction of the prevailing wind. That prediction doesn't account for wind gusts. Here's a site that I use in Los Angeles for sailing, and it's generally (at least, for LA) the most accurate I've found. it has the winds gusting to 36mph, and with rain? That's pretty brutal. https://www.windfinder.com/forecast/buffalo Edited October 31, 2020 by Rocky Landing 1
