Incidentally, I really appreciate that Allen has never offered his hurt shoulder as an excuse for those two losses, although he wouldn't be wearing a brace if it wasn't affecting him. Another thing to like about the guy. 4

This game features what might end up being two Hall of Fame passers. Playing it in high winds or monsoon rains would be like Ali and Frazier fighting while sick with the flu. We're in for a treat Sunday night. I just hope Mahomes is healthy. I want to see a heavyweight bout--and see the best team (the Bills) win. 1
RunTheBall Posted January 21, 2021 Posted January 21, 2021 I think we get hung up on the fact that we had a few games where we were like the Greatest Show on Turf. That’s just one aspect of our team, I don’t think it’s our identity and we’ve proved multiple times that it’s not the only way we can win. We are definitely a pass first offense no doubt, and I’d like to see the running game improve next year, but our team is more Whatever It Takes than just Pass Deep and Win. That’s why I think we are going to the Super Bowl and I think we are going to win it. We are not a one trick pony, we have different sides of the ball stepping up at different times, different players making big plays in different games, and coaches who are adept at in game adjustments. That is the sign of a Super Bowl winning team and I think this is our year. 4 1 2

It had a huge effect last week. 39 minutes ago, Greg S said: You would think a team from WNY would or should be built to play in bad weather. If not Terry better get that new domed/retractable roof stadium built ASAP. Well, we surely don’t look built to play bad weather. Not many players 37 minutes ago, PaattMaann said: Forecasts literally change an hour before LOL. And that is ONE FORECAST you are referencing, I can show you dozens of others that give a different interpretation of what the weather will be. THAT is why its pointless. The weather nerds and worry warts should go start a weather thread instead of bogging down pregame threads. Was annoying as hell last week, just as annoying this week. thats the last ill be saying about a pointless topic. Last week, we were worried about the wind. The forecast were predicting bad lots of wind. It was extremely windy. 36 minutes ago, Greg S said: You might be right. Didn't Josh mentioned something about getting a dome in Buffalo or that he wasn't a fan playing in bad weather? I could be wrong but I thought he mentioned something to that effect. Josh wants a dome get him a dome

Solomon Grundy Posted January 21, 2021 Posted January 21, 2021 2 hours ago, Cray51 said: Rewatching the Week 6 game... Slippery conditions certainly played into the missed tackles on CEH. I dont expect the running game to be as effective against our defense if it doesnt rain. We put contact on CEH throughout, but he bounced off and we couldnt wrap up. Mahomes was able to extend plays very well. His mobility was crucial to pick up first downs and extend drives. If his toe limits that, its a huge win for the Bills. Josh had to be better against the zone concepts KC ran. He looked timid and confused at times, and his line did not protect as well as they normally have. Look to him to show some more swagger this week which I think will help. Leverage the run game to set up play action and screens to Knox. Will help (we had some good screen plays in week 6) move the ball against the D. Limit EITHER Hill or Kelce. I dont think you can limit both. Pick one and shut them down. Its going to be a good game, I am really interested to see how Allen does against a D he struggled with the first time around. One thing many hasn’t mentioned about this game was the dumb penalties the Bills defense had with the late hits. Very uncharacteristic. Gotta hold their composure. Also, the 3rd and 14 pickup by the Chiefs late in the game was a clear OPI on Kelce. He sold picking off Edmunds on that play by falling to the ground after the pick. Hope McDermott warns the refs to be on the lookout for them 1 1

Another thing to like about the guy. Not only that, but before the TD drive in the 4th it was off. That drive included a 2nd and 5 where Allen ran for 6 yards and took a hard hit. After that series, there was a vingette in the broadcast film where the trainers came up to Allen on the bench and he shook them off. I think they may have been trying to get the brace back on him to protect his shoulder if he was gonna run and take hits like that, and he was 'no way'. It was notable that the following week, Allen had a bunch of kinesiotape and a less limiting brace. It may be worth re-visiting Jim Kubiak's article on that game. He doesn't sugar coat. https://buffalonews.com/sports/bills/jim-kubiak-bills-josh-allens-bad-misses-protection-errors-are-undoing-vs-chiefs/article_6f3d89d4-1322-11eb-b314-53f1b4824aea.html Quote Allen had six passing attempts that can be best described as “bad misses.” There were opportunities, either running across the field or out in the flat in which Allen was simply not able to get the football to the open receiver. In the NFL, execution on these open throws is expected to be flawless. If Allen had completed these basic throws, his 58% completion percentage would have jumped to 74%, and might have led to a different outcome. Six misfires of 27 opportunities is 23% of the passing game. IMO the shoulder was affecting Josh in that game. That's not to say that the Chief's defense wasn't also a puzzle as Allen has said in interviews, but when he did throw, he was just off-target too much in the first half. He was also still IMO being thumped into taking his outlet receivers by the Bills coaching staff. Multiple factors, but I think it's telling that Allen was observed without the brace in the 4Q, which was the only quarter in which he had more than 60% completion (he started off the game 37.5% in the first half) 3
Rico Posted January 21, 2021 Posted January 21, 2021 19 hours ago, eball said: So, I read a recent article (in The Athletic I think) about catching up with "The Coach" Chuck Dickerson. If you can find it you should read it. You'd realize that EVEN IN BUFFALO these radio hosts are not talking about things they believe, they are saying things that will create the most controversy and drive listeners/callers. The only place you get folks actually talking about what they believe is on a network that is not dependent upon advertising revenue -- like the Bills' OBL show -- but on that one you have to be cognizant that they won't overly criticize the hand that feeds them either. This is really the best place to get a dichotomy of opinion and "real talk." I don't listen to talk radio (besides Howard) much at all. I have long been of the opinion that anything you hear spoken by a talking head on any of these shows is scripted to provide for the best TV. Phil Simms, Rex Ryan... anyone.
Solomon Grundy Posted January 21, 2021 Posted January 21, 2021 I’d like to see the Bills do some more of motioning McKenzie or another WR into the backfield and hitting them with swing passes early. Chiefs are gonna play zone and make Josh dink and donk. This will slow down the pass rush of Clark/Jones as well. 3
