12/1/2022 - NFL Week #13 - Bills at Pats* - Post game thread

[Rocky Landing]

Some random thoughts on the game:

• I love Motor. He may not be a breakaway threat like Shady McCoy, or stiff-arm power back like Fred Ex, but he can shoot the gap like nobody's business. 
• Boy do we miss Dawkins! A hobbled Quess was actually better than a healthy Hart, but both of them literally just fell over at times.
• Allen was utterly calm at all times, and that makes a difference. And my God that sideline TD throw to Davis was bananas!
• Speaking of Davis, he hasn't been the #2WR we all hoped he would be. Maybe he pulls it together, and finishes the season strong like he did last year...?
• I have developed a visceral dislike for Mac & Cheese Jones.
• I know I'm probably just being a homer, but I didn't agree with overturning Poyer's interception. The ruling on the field should have stood.
• The Patriots* fans booed like they were Jets fans.
• Tre White does not yet look like his old self.
• Nice game by Epenesa, Groot, Basham, and Shaq. Phillips got plenty of penetration, but when he did, it sure wasn't hard for Mac & Cheese to outrun him.
• Shakir got one target (and catch). Wish we'd see more of him. Nice game by Lil' Dirty.
• Damar Hamlin is going to get fined. Unnecessary roughness was the right call. I love his intensity, but no Bill wants to get a reputation for being a dirty player. He needs to learn from that.
• I wonder about the Pats* locker room. They looked almost disinterested at times, and you don't see a lot of chemistry-- like they barely know each other. Or like they lack leadership (which I think they do).
• Great play calling, and scheme by Dorsey. Considering how easily Uche consistently ran around Quess, or Hart, it's impressive how efficient the offense was. 
• No one should be complaining about Edmunds, IMO. His return to the field improves this defense. 
• As important as Dawkins obviously is to the O-line, the same can be said for Mitch Morse, IMO. They are better with him out there. Motor especially must love him.

Maybe i missed it, but looked like Mac Jones went straight to the locker room. Seemed like Josh was looking for him. 

 

It's how Bill taught him.

I just wish Josh could have been a dick to him in the postgame if he knew all the crap Gonzalez was talking about the Bills before and after Allen came out. But I know Josh is way too classy for that anyways.

Agree on most of your thoughts. Not sure about play calling, it looked dis-interested at times too. Mostly, agreeable just a few one offs. Happy for the W.

 Go Bills!!

• Agreed, once the ball in his hands. His inability to catch is a problem, however. 
• Boy do we miss Dawkins! A hobbled Quess was actually better than a healthy Hart, but both of them literally just fell over at times.
• What about Justin Murray? He was the temporary replacement at LT, I thought? Wasn't Hart just doing his 6th OL/TE thing?
• Allen was utterly calm at all times, and that makes a difference. And my God that sideline TD throw to Davis was bananas!
• Speaking of Davis, he hasn't been the #2WR we all hoped he would be. Maybe he pulls it together, and finishes the season strong like he did last year...?
• I have developed a visceral dislike for Mac & Cheese Jones.
• I love telling people to do a Google image search for "Mac Jones ankle injury." What a wimp.
• I know I'm probably just being a homer, but I didn't agree with overturning Poyer's interception. The ruling on the field should have stood.
• The Patriots* fans booed like they were Jets fans.
• Tre White does not yet look like his old self.
• White was never a violent tackler, but I did see some promising coverage reps out of him. Once or twice he read the play and drifted off his assigned responsibility to show up on another route; good to see.
• Nice game by Epenesa, Groot, Basham, and Shaq. Phillips got plenty of penetration, but when he did, it sure wasn't hard for Mac & Cheese to outrun him.
• Those boys did a great job of beating their blockers, only to mostly be out of control and unable to bring down that lame excuse for a QB. Gotta break down and corral him. 
• Shakir got one target (and catch). Wish we'd see more of him. Nice game by Lil' Dirty.
• Damar Hamlin is going to get fined. Unnecessary roughness was the right call. I love his intensity, but no Bill wants to get a reputation for being a dirty player. He needs to learn from that.
• I wonder about the Pats* locker room. They looked almost disinterested at times, and you don't see a lot of chemistry-- like they barely know each other. Or like they lack leadership (which I think they do).
• Great play calling, and scheme by Dorsey. Considering how easily Uche consistently ran around Quess, or Hart, it's impressive how efficient the offense was. 
• THIS is the perfect example of why a run game matters. 
• No one should be complaining about Edmunds, IMO. His return to the field improves this defense. 
• As important as Dawkins obviously is to the O-line, the same can be said for Mitch Morse, IMO. They are better with him out there. Motor especially must love him.

NFL channel should fire MJD he sucks.

 

I'm not just saying that....

 

He genuinely seems like he is above everything and everyone.

No doubt.  MJD will be lucky to have a job next year.  

 

Its always the the good but not great players that are tools

MeShawn

MJD

Bart Scott

James Jones

i guess Steve Smith would be considered great, but he’s often out of line imo.

That was way more dominant than anyone predicted. Just a good ole fashion methodical and boring beat down. 

Yes it was… Boring is good when you control the game … Championship level teams take care of business on the road against average ( at best) teams  do this …

 

Not used to seeing it from our guys..

 

Maybe … just maybe ..they have come out the other side after an ordinary month and can now get something cooking…

Davis has been a little inconsistent this year in his new role, but 650 yards on pace for 942 yards and 8-9 TDs is not exactly terrible for a #2. Not sure what people are expecting.

1. Von who?  I kid. 

2. That drive of 94 yards won the game for Buffalo

3. There was evidence of a run game tonight. 
4. Shame that TD bomb to Diggs was called back. 
5. Two more significant injuries.  I think.  Knox and maybe Phillips. 
6. Cook’s game is coming around. 
7. Dink and Dunk won the night. 
8. I’m in the Hamlin was wrongly accused camp. 
9. A rushing TD.  Yeah. 
10. 3-0 in Foxboro and 3-0 on Thursday night.  

Don't know about Phillips, but Knox did come back in the game.
