That is what happens at times when the QB is throwing with anticipation. Diggs looked to be taking responsibility for the INT. He ran up to Allen pointing to his own chest like "its on me". I'm no lip reader, could be wrong.

My question would be what triggered the miscommunication? My guess is it's a route option dictated by the coverage. Allen saw the coverage do one thing and assumed Diggs would go inside, Diggs didn't see it and went out. No idea though as I'm not an X's and O's guy - it just felt that way. Also could have been just straight up the wrong route. I believe it’s an option route where both Diggs and Allen are reading the DBs leverage. Simple miscommunication —best thing about it was that both players went straight to one another and got on the same page with absolutely no animosity whatsoever. 1

Dont Stop Billeiving Posted November 2, 2020 Posted November 2, 2020 Things that give me hope about this match up: 1) Return of our strong rushing attack (Feliciano made a huge difference) 2) Terrible Seattle pass defense (who covers Diggs?) and below average pass rush 3) 1 PM EST start time for Seattle 4) Seattle's offensive line might be the worst we've faced all season (and that includes the Jets). We should be able to get pressure with four, spy Wilson, and drop 6 into coverage IMO. 5) If Hyde can come back, we'll have our ideal starting secondary back together for the first time in weeks. And we'll really need it. Things that are turning my hair grey about this match up: 1) RUSSELL WILSON (your 2020 MVP) 2) DK 'Six Million Dollar Man' Metcalf (think we need to bracket both Metcalf and Lockett and make their secondary weapons beat us) 3) Seems like Jamal Adams is going to return for this game after missing the past several weeks. So worried about Allen's knees/overall health as a result. 2

Even before that, on the field as the ball went by him, Diggs body language and expression seemed to be saying, "Oh crap....I screwed that up." Agree with most of these posts...quarterback is playing with anticipation (that's how he is beating blitzes) and those things happen.
Big Turk Posted November 2, 2020 Posted November 2, 2020 20 minutes ago, whatdrought said: And the Int didn't seem to be his fault. Not by Digg's reaction pointing to himself and seemingly saying "My bad" to Allen when they got to the sideline... It looked like Alen thought he was going to turn inward and shield the DB and Diggs just stopped and turned around...Allen put the ball in a perfect place if he was throwing the other route...

Maybe you could guesstimate/weight that risk at 20% (I would). If so, a blowout is unlikely. Bills are a funny team. They hang in there with a chance to win against both superior and, oddly, inferior competition (they could actually have beaten the Chiefs, a better team). They don't blow out the competition and they don't seem to get blown out themselves (at least not yet). Seahawks have to be favoured even if playing a road game but with legit big play capability in the passing game (against a weak secondary) and a run game showing signs of life (God bless Mongo) my expectation is the the Bills will be competitive with Seattle and should have a good punchers chance of winning. I also expect McDermot to react and make the best use possible of what he has on D and strategize fully taking into account the abilities of the opposing offence. I don't doubt his proficiency on that side of the ball. Ball control (aka a good ground game) can do a lot to limit Russell (maybe the only thing that can) and I hope Daboll tries to control the clock and run Single and Moss for as long as its productive. Regarding Metcalf, everybody (except maybe the Bears) got it wrong, very wrong, with Seattle being less wrong than the other teams. Dude was a top 5 pick for sure and I'm glad he's panning out as an elite wideout. If you like football it's great to see that type of rare talent develop. Good time for Tre to start earning his money (I don't want to see Wallace or Johnson trying to cover him, that would be both hilarious and painful to watch). Blow outs happen when multiple phases don’t hold their own. So we can lose to Seattle 38-42. That’s not a blow out. If they smoke us 35-17, that’s because the defense couldn’t stop them AND the offense couldn’t keep up.

Mango Posted November 2, 2020 Posted November 2, 2020 3 minutes ago, starrymessenger said: Agreed. I don't expect a blowout (of either team). I am a little concerned that the Bills have gotten pretty similar production against both decent and bad defenses the last 4 weeks.
Nihilarian Posted November 2, 2020 Posted November 2, 2020 Good lord most of the league was so wrong about DK Metcalf, what a freak! Bills defensive coaches must be changing their underwear frequently watching film on that guy. The Bills had better find their first four games passing offense again to keep up with the 6-1 Seahawks. #1 in scoring points, #3 in yards.
Hebert19 Posted November 2, 2020 Posted November 2, 2020 So do we finally see Tre follow someone this year? Tre on Lockett and we double metcalf?

BITE ME Posted November 2, 2020 Posted November 2, 2020 If Seattle's defense shows up with Jamal Adams return, this game will be a blowout. I think Seattle's defense is garbage, but will make a few stops. I doubt the Bills do anything to stop Seattle's offense. This game has 37-21 written all over it. It might not be that close. The Bills collapse will commence on Sunday.

I have a weird feeling we can catch these Hags off guard, flying east, etc.., The wise guys don't follow this team as close as we do. Plus, Seahawks are usually fantastic on the games when they have to fly to the east coast. Edited November 2, 2020 by Doc Brown

Something is holding this offence back. Lots of things come to mind but I'm not sure what it is. I suspect coaching, game planning and play calling, but idk. Production should be better than it is against good and bad teams. If the run game comes around esp on early downs maybe things will improve and we go toe to toe with Russell et al. So a shoot out instead of a blowout. Could be a pretty exciting game.

I think you’ll see Tre stick to one side and the coverage roll (the sky/cloud defender—kind of like the 2 in a cover 6) go to the other side of the field. That really lets the safeties key a bit easier since they don’t have to swap assignments based on pre-snap motion/adjustments.
