Lieutenant Aldo Raine Posted October 31, 2022 Posted October 31, 2022 I don’t believe Dorsey was at his best either in the second half; some very questionable play calling. Even if you’re going to throw, call some easy completions to bleed clock. 2 1 Quote

It’s just that we know they’re capable of so much more. This game wasn’t up to the 2022 Bills standard and they’d probably readily admit that. Some of them already have. They have and McDermott was especially harsh about quite a few things and said it's not up to their standard and they didn't play their best game. 2 Quote

He just needs to do what other QBs do when they don’t run…throw the ball away! It isn’t something we do much, lol. Quote

How a team plays can be a predictor of future games. The result can not. How a team plays over a period of time can be a predictor of future results. How a team plays in a single game, let alone single half is not. Anyone who follows the NFL knows that the end result is ALL that matters. Tonight we saw the reasons why the Bills are 6 - 1 and sit alone on top of the AFC. An explosive offense piloted by an elite play making QB that can hit the big play at any time and pile points up. And a stingy defense that can get after the QB and bends but almost never breaks. Sure the team and Allen lost focus and didn't play their best in the 2nd half with a 17 point lead. When I look at the body of work by the Bill's through the first 7 games I feel very confident that this team will play great over the remaining 10 games. 1 Quote

Think the players are as annoyed with the game as (some of) the fans are, which is good as it means they shouldn't rest of their laurels. Allen was ticked off... 2 Quote
SACTOBILLSFAN Posted October 31, 2022 Posted October 31, 2022 The offense was out of sync the entire second half but the defense was so good it turned the Packers into a service academy offense and still won by 10. Kinda nuts. 1 Quote

How a team plays can be a predictor of future games. The result can not. I agree but it's not like the Bills were terrible. They pretty much cruised to a victory while playing a very poor second half. I never felt like the game was in jeopardy. I think it was more of the Bills being unfocused and sloppy in offense. The defense stopping the run was concerning. I don't believe it will be a huge issue moving forward. Edmunds played his worst game of the year. I think this win may be more benifical than a blow out win. May bring the Bills down to earth sort of speak and make them more focused moving ahead. Quote

Joe Ferguson forever Posted October 31, 2022 Posted October 31, 2022 (edited) I was at the Jax game last year and it was awful. But then they played the rest of the season and that epic game against KC. 13 secs from potentially winning the SB. And the coaching there was to blame imo. They are elite and are the team to beat for this years SB, lousy half tonight regardless. Don't worry, be happy! Edited October 31, 2022 by redtail hawk 1 Quote

I think the coaching staff told him not to run anymore up 17 and his ability to make decisions got impacted a bit. Perhaps but Allen just can't make those types of throws. There is no excuse for that. 1 1 Quote

It isn’t something we do much, lol. He was in no-man's land and you know he wanted to run, but was conflicted. To me, that's from being told not to run. We've gotten to where we are letting Josh be Josh. Don't screw up the recipe. Quote

Meanwhile GB scored only one TD. If that was a "shaky" first half then I would like to see what you consider a solid half of football. 3 years ago this was a solid win. When you expect to be the AFC Super Bowl representative it was below what they’re capable of. They left a lot of plays out on the field and the execution was off in several key situations. 218 yards or whatever for Josh with 2 INTs is sub par for sure. 1 Quote

The Bills led by 17 at the half, the Packers never got it closer than 10 and that happened with about 6 minutes left. Edited October 31, 2022 by Big Turk Quote
Buffalo Barbarian Posted October 31, 2022 Posted October 31, 2022 We won but giving up 30 yds or more on runs is unacceptable. Josh should have run when there was no option to throw instead of forcing balls in there. Overall solid performance but need to keep their intensity up for the whole game not just the first half Quote
