streetkings01 Posted January 10, 2022 Share Posted January 10, 2022 It was obvious the wind was an issue. If we ran more in the 2nd & 3rd quarter against the wind this game wouldn’t have been close. Josh Allen w/ the wind: 12/15 122 yds 2 TD Josh Allen against wind: 12/30 117 yds I’d say the wind did more to neutralize our offense in quarters 2 & 3 than the Jets defense did. Daboll has to do a better job when it comes to bad weather games. 4 1 1 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buffalo_Stampede Posted January 10, 2022 Share Posted January 10, 2022 The way they were throwing to Davis I believe they were trying to hit bonus money. Probably messed up their rhythm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Process Posted January 10, 2022 Share Posted January 10, 2022 You really think Daboll understands things like wind? Plus, we have to save all our run plays for 2nd and 10 from the 15 yard line 1 2 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brandon Posted January 10, 2022 Share Posted January 10, 2022 I agree, it was mostly the wind, but even going into the wind, there were three more passes that could have easily been TDs. Two where the receiver only got one foot down and a third where the Jets DB interfered with Diggs in the endzone that forced a FG attempt 0:04 left in the half. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HIT BY SPIKES Posted January 10, 2022 Share Posted January 10, 2022 I believe if the offensive play calling was above average, we would have been up 21-0 by the 5 minute mark of the 2nd quarter. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LongTermBuffalonian Posted January 10, 2022 Share Posted January 10, 2022 I concur... I think the wind caused more issues for Josh than he let on. I just hope the team realizes this and plans for it next week... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miyagi-Do Karate Posted January 10, 2022 Share Posted January 10, 2022 The wind also causes issues for receivers. Just lots of drops and balls that seem hard to adjust to. If we played today in perfect weather conditions, we would have won by 30 points. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

y2zipper Posted January 10, 2022 Share Posted January 10, 2022 Where the personnel needs to be upgraded is that Buffalo doesn't have that sort of running game without heavily involving Allen, and they're not going to do that with the playoffs sewn up here.

2003Contenders Posted January 10, 2022 Share Posted January 10, 2022 Honestly , I did not think the wind/cold was a huge factor other than on a couple of passes (I.e. the Potential TD pass that bounced off Diggs’ hands that Josh muscled in there). The whole offense was out of sorts for much of the 2nd and 3rd quarters. Some of that was due to poor play calling, especially in the red zone. Some of it was due to drops (Davis had a tough game), some near misses (at least 3 where the receiver could not quite get 2 feet down), and where Josh and the receivers were not on the same page ( one entire 3-and-out series in the 3rd quarter). 2 promising drives were also killed due to stupid penalties. Also, good things rarely happen when Moss comes in for Singletary. Daboll does some things very well, but he seems to struggle sometimes recognizing game flow and getting Josh and the offense into a rhythm. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ed_Formerly_of_Roch Posted January 10, 2022 Share Posted January 10, 2022 Posted this elsewhere but think Allen needs to learn to take something off the fastball. It may be OK in September an October, but with a wet, cold, hard ball coupled with a receivers wet cold hands just doesn't work well. There were a number of dripped passes too. But hard to say if Allen did take something off on some of those passes, would he have been able to get the ball to where it needed to get to?

Orlando Buffalo Posted January 10, 2022 Share Posted January 10, 2022 The only issue with becoming run first for this offense is that it means Josh is gonna run some of it, and we should minimize his running plays when we are already going to the playoffs. But Daboll certainly needs to figure something out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wind was definitely a factor ……I just post Josh’s numbers with and against the wind…..nite and day. I believe Hyde explained in his presser that the wind was similar to the Patriots Monday Nite game. Those 2 drives that were killed because of penalties……weren’t they both run plays for big gains? 10 hours ago, RunJoshRun said: Run first sounds great - but - when you don't have a stud/break-away back it makes things difficult! You don’t need a stud RB to run the ball heavily for 2 quarters. Into the wind our offense should’ve been run 1st mixed in with a ton of play action……instead we chose to constantly throw the ball deep.

uninja Posted January 10, 2022 Share Posted January 10, 2022 Really hate the way the Bills stadium is recessed into the ground, any kind of wind just blows inside the bowl and makes the passing game an adventure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What the hell are any of you complaining about?!? What more do you want?!? While I'm at it, we're #1 in points against too! IMO, any complainer is a dumb@$$! Phew, that felt good!
