Did Star play yesterday? I didn’t see him on the inactives, but also didn’t notice him once on the field.

They weren't a very good RAC team even then..........but Allen averaged a ridiculous 3.14 seconds before throwing which was statistically the highest above expectation in the league...........so he was getting very good protection and often "waiting" receivers open. 

 

Or Allen was buying extra time with his mobility.  A lot of his big chunk plays were throws after he exited the pocket.

"Norwood misses from 47! I guess we know his range"

 

Eerie

 

But this game is one of favorite bills memories. Up there with 51-3

Thanks, man. I swear, it seemed like I didn’t see him out there once, and yet I felt like I saw AJ and Eli (same snap count) a lot more.

As much as I hate to ever credit @BADOLBILZ for anything, since he does plenty of tooting his own horn and doesn't need anyone to help him...he's right about the passing game. It is far less explosive than last season. The stats -- both classic and advanced -- bear this out. 

Everyone figures the Bills need to upgrade the guard spots and maybe the running back room in the offseason, and they probably will. Adding an explosive receiver or two, though, is an underrated need. I love Diggs and Davis, and McKenzie has value as a role player. Sanders will likely be gone and Beasley has lost some explosiveness. We need to add some POP to the WR room for the 2022 season.

 

Part of that is the way defenses have played us this year.  Some teams werent capable or didnt play that way and the Bills lit them up.  The Jets for one did not play the cover 2 shell or 2 deep.

If you listen to Berman says Norwood's range is about 47 yards. Wasn’t that the length of wide right??? Foreshadowing??

What they struggle with? Other than the INT's the Bills moved the ball at will and Falcons couldn't stop it. Oline looked good too

The first half they should have dominated but did not.  The pass rush pressured Allen.

Is that the same Miami team that went on to win 7 straight games after their loss in Buffalo?

 

 

Look at the teams they beat.  Other than that, the Bills were not crisp in that game.

Yeah I saw him in the game at times.

[Behindenemylines]

I don’t know what it is, and although I’m sure we beat the Jets, I’m not really comfortable with this game.  No clue why and it’s not just division title.  
 

maybe it’s my Jets buddies just non stop  saying “spoiler spoiler”.   
 

 

[Mojo44]

Yeah, that INT had nothing to do with Baker’s shoulder 

[Joe Ferguson]

Is it crazy of me if Bills lose and I'm not worried about the playoffs? Josh Allen has been playing like turd the past 4 or 5 home games. I think Allen and the team plays better on the road because they don't have to show off the home crowd and they will be more focused and motivated.

I want the AFCE Title.  Anything less is a step back.  
 

We need to be ready to play hard and take it.

Let’s go JETS

Actually thought he played excellent against the Patriots in a wind storm early December. Played OK against the Panthers, and struggled against Atlanta…. Agree with someone who said he was reading his own press clippings this past week and was overconfident in this game. 

Let's hope he reads the negative press clippings so his head will not get bigger and get more motivated.

I rewatched the game and he honestly looked good to me…never would’ve guessed his stat line was that bad.  Two of those picks weee pretty unlucky…that last one looked like gabe was wide open for a big gain if the ball didn’t get tipped.  That second pick seemed like Beasley got jammed and just gave up on the route but he could have gotten there…gotta throw that one before he makes his break so it really wasn’t a bad decision. First pick he should’ve thrown away though 

 

Don't let @JoPoy88 see this post, he might get angry

Players day off....rest up boys the AFCE crown is on the line this week and a repeat is required for a home playoff game

Yea, agreed. 
I feel like the Bills send subtle clues and messages about their intentions when it comes future roster transactions.

Gutsy move or rookie ignorance?  lol

 

I take that as a rookie who grew up watching Tom Brady win Super Bowls and considered the greatest of all time. Being on the same field much less intercepting a pass from Brady was a special moment. Rookie also probably understands there are no guarantees in life, enjoy it while you can.
