NFL Week #1 - Bills at the Rams - Post Game thread- The NFL season Begins!!!!!!

[RunTheBall]

Idk if enough attention has been spent to the excellent offensive game plan by Dorsey and the execution of it by Josh - specifically the plan to handle Donald. Dorsey knew Donald is not stoppable, so he developed a plan for Josh to get rid of the ball early. The first half he was a precision passer getting rid of the ball the second fastest of his career. Josh loves to hang on to the ball and make plays, I think last year he was one of the longest holding on to it. It’s a sign of his maturity and growth as a QB to not only go against his natural inclination but to execute it with such ridiculous accuracy. He has another level he hasn’t reached his ceiling yet. In the second half he was able to take deep shots because of all the work that was done in the first on the short passing game. Just an absolute master performance from Dorsey and Allen to minimize the impact of the best defensive player in the game.

I'm just glad they don't have a RANCH audible 😎

They do.  It's a fake punt so we will never hear it called.

Tannehill burnt us last year with his arm and feet. His passing yardage wasn't impressive, but it sustained drives.

He doesn't go for rushing yards usually, but he is mobile enough to extend the play until coverage breaks down.

Hopefully this year we can finish and get to him more.

Expand  

Hopefully we carry over the pass rush from last night.  That should get it done.

When things were going a little sideways in the 1st half I told my son I'd be happy if only Morse, Josh, Diggs and Davis touched the ball

Marcus Spears - Josh Allen "looked like a baby that finally learned how to potty"

Well he ***** all over their defense.

On the Cooper Kupp TD Von Miller did a spin move and was right in Staffords face as he threw. The guy is still elite, and I still can’t believe he came to Buffalo from LA after a super bowl win.

There can’t be a better feeling than going to a team and single handedly transforming an entire unit like he did last night.  In LA he was great but always overshadowed by Aaron Donald it seems

I know it is hard to compare between two different sports, but I compare the Bills signing of Von Miller to the Warriors signing of Kevin Durant.

 

In both cases, a team with a huge star player (Steph Curry, Josh Allen), adds a highly talented star player to make a great team nearly unstoppable. 

 

I know the Warriors had already won a Championship before signing Durant, but they won 2 in a row with him in dominating fashion and would have won a third if Durant did not get hurt...hopefully the Bills can follow this trajectory and lift a couple of Lombardi trophies in the next couple of years!!

Cam Akers is apparently in McVay's dog house right now. A play like this would explain why:

 

If I was a coach I would cut him immediately after seeing this on film.

A fine Buckeye, and ironically the one who famously consoled  Ken Dorsey after the final play of the 2002 national championship game

That play was insane to me. I remember panicking on a deep pass on third and short and my jaw dropped as it connected.

 

And that was audibled ?

 

WHo does that? Josh Allen that's who

They set it up from play 1 with those short slants to diggs at the first down marker

Excllent! This is the play where I wondered who shot up the gut and just nailed Stafford? They never showed a replay.  Damn, I like that dude!

😆 and someone was complaining that Kupp had over a dozen catches.

Good players and SB MVP’s usually do this

He was essentially their offense last night.
