Im so scared.  Please dont throw stuff in my face.  

I'm sure you're not since you'll just pretend you never said it or try and explain how it's  "different" this time.  I'm counting on it.

The Aaron Rodgers that has lost 4 in a row and are 3-5 on the season.

 

Shouldn't have to be said, but they aren't a good team right now.  We were literally playing against special teamers at LB the second half.

I know.  It's just funny to me.  Frazier saw Aaron Rodgers a lot back in his Vikings days and his refusal to stack the box in the 2nd half reflected that.  It's like he had battered wife syndrome.

What I like…Josh is NOT happy.    That’s going to be a good week of practice!

Yes. Josh Allen knows he made terrible decisions in the second half, and he's disgusted with himself.

 

This will only give him more focus and determination to be better.

Don't care, you're muted like the other single digit Iq. Bye 

 

 Well at this point you're going to be in a message board by yourself.😂

 

 Maybe you should try muting yourself for tonight and return tomorrow. 

 

 I'll repeat, you're going way over the top on this, especially when saying things like you're only going by the results? Wtf? That's the dumbest thing I ever done hear. Results are thee ONLY thing that matters ie the points, the wins. The YARDS are meaningless.

 

 See countless NE Super Bowl winning defenses. They weren't near the top in yards allowed, but they were in points allowed.

Dont hold your breath.  I dont ever pretend anything.

And yet AGAIN you are talking about the outcome rather than the ease with which they moved the ball.

 You have the luxury of knowing the ultimate outcome, but that was ridiculous what we witnessed tonight.

 

 

On the other side of that coin, you do not know what would’ve happened if the bills stacked the box in the second half.  There was no reason to load up against the run up three scores

 

there really was no ‘luxury’ needed…it was clear the packers were gonna run out of time to come back from their first drive in the second half

I thought Edmunds has played better this year, but he was pathetic tonight. Just awful. When he wasn’t getting eaten up by blockers he was looking lost out there. He was like Ray Charles at an *****, blindly guessing which hole to fill.

He did lead the team in tackles tonight.  I know for all the anti Edmunds out there tackles means nothing, just like the two pro bowl honors he received.

 

Everyone has games where they are not as sharp as usual.

 

Even Josh has bad games now and then.

A coaches dream for the upcoming week of practice...   A game that you lead the entire time, flirted with blowing the doors right open and it being a laugher that ultimately felt closer than it was but you still win by multiple possessions.  

 

There was a lot of good to take from this game but also very obviously things to clean up for a divisional road game next week.

 

I wouldn't want to be a Jets defender next week.  I think it is going to be ugly.

Man this board really sucks after a *checks score* double digit win.

[machine gun kelly]

It was nice seeing Cook out there.  I expected this to happen.  Get up with a lead and start working Cook into the game.  Let him get consistent, and confident and then eventually he’ll be part of the starting offense.

The Morning After...  Thoughts with the benefit of a few hours sleep:

 

1. It's crazy being a Bills fan these days.  Our expectations have gone well beyond just winning a game.  We now expect dominant wins and are surprisngly surprised when they don't play perfectly.

2. That 4th and 1 play where Miller knocked the OLINE down like bowling pins was awesome.  I'm sure it happens in games, but that is the first time I ever recall seeing it.  And it was THE play of the game.  It stopped Rodgers with zero points and sucked the life out of any hoped for comeback.

3. I can't be the only one who had flash backs to the Tennessee game last year where they kept pounding the ball.  It almost worked.

4. How about Jordan Phillips people?  He twice used his forearm to stop a RB in his tracks.  The RB was steamrolling forward and then he was sent flying.  Both times the replay showed Jordan slamming him with a violent and I do mean violent forearm.

5. Glad to hear Josh was deliberately trying to throw that second INT away by "dirting" it.  GB made a great pick there.

6. Imagine being a GB fan this season.  Oh good we get to play the AFC East.  GB needed OT to beat the Patriots or they would be 0-3 so far.  And they still have a Christmas day matchup in Miami.

7. Saw the tweet that Miller asked Rodgers if they were ever going to throw again.  I have a vivid memory where that happened in the game and Rodger's face when Von asked him that.  The game within the game.

8. At one point I checked the stats and Allen was 8/11 76 yards and 2 TDs.  He finished 13/25 for 218 which means after that hot start he was 5/14 for 142 and 2 INTS.  At first glance that looks pretty Brady-like these days (hahaha), but 5/142 means he was completing the passes he did complete after the start at a 28.4 clip..

9. The GB player who got ejected misinterpreted the actions of the Bills sideline personnel.  I think it looked like he was trying to help the guy up and he then pushed him.

10. Matt Milano was playing like a man possessed.  He almost had  a second interception but the ball richocheted off his facemask first.

Won a trap game. End of story.

 

Onto the next.

This sort of ugly game was entirely predictable.  Packers were a desperate team, with a HOF QB and plenty of talent on defense (no. 1 ranked pass defense in the league).  They are a team that’s won 13 games, 3 years in a row…not a team likely to mail it in against a team like Buffalo, on national TV.  This was never going to be a walkover.  I’m just glad the Bills came out on top. In previous years, they would have lost a game like this.

Von is worth every penny so far.

red zone play calling needs to be better. McKenzie and Knox need to be more involved. McKenzie TD good example
