The 2-year Spencer Brown experiment must end next spring. (Draft should be 100% offense and fill a couple D holes in free agency after franchising Edmunds.)

Keep him as a swing backup that can come in on short yardage as an extra lineman. He can run block.

The concern with Diggs is we seem to struggle to scheme him free. Is it because defenses have little respect for the other options on offense, so they can really go hard on him? Somehow scheming him free more would make such a difference to Josh and the offense moving forwards.

But to come on here and purposely crap on a win week after week as some do is getting old. We are winning games plain and simple. We are 10-3 ill say it again 10-3. There is no reason to be completely negative about every aspect of this team with that record.

We’re beating pretty good teams too…I’d rather beat the jets ugly than win comfortably against the Texans

If you build a team that excels in January Buffalo weather you’ll get slammed by the likes of the Fins and other fast offenses (Chiefs) when the weather is fine.
 

If you build a team like theirs then you’ll not excel in January Buffalo weather but compete most other games.
 

Quite the conundrum for Beane for long-term success. A retractable roof fixes all of it.

"I love Buffalo for the December/January weather"  Said no one.....

He comes off the field all the time.

He may have been pissed at Cook for missing a block that could have spring him for a huge play

I’ve noticed that, he really does come off the field quite often.

Take the positives from this game.

 

The defense looks fast and bailed the offense out numerous times.

 

Have to like our three young DEs that Beane drafted making plays. 
 

Outside of one TD run they stopped the Jets rushing game. 
 

Also, I like some of the hits the Bills are handing out - Poyer, Hamlin, Milano, Oliver, Lawson.

I think I am at the point I am worried with Dorsey. This offense has massively regressed. That is on scheme and coaching.

It was a W that felt like a loss. That first half was some of the worst offensive football this team has played in 5 years.

There is certainly work to do, play calling and execution were lacking to say the least, imo, Dorsey needs to look in the mirror, as do many others, but in the end we pulled it off, learn and move on. 
 

Go Bills!!!

This game was very close to being a blowout (like easily a 14 to 17-point win). Jets had some 50/50 plays that went their way. For example, if that Epenza fumble doesn’t miraculously fall into a jets player’s arms, or John Brown actually makes a contested catch, or the berrios slant at the goal line popped way up in the air is intercepted, this is a blowout.

 

Not saying that we can discount what actually happened, but it’s a few sort of random plays or bounces to being a blowout. 
 

 

 

 

We must be watching different games. I never felt like the Bills were going to blowout the Jets. They had chances to close the game and didn't.

 

May I ask you about the Jets jumping Offside on 4th and 1? That "gift" lead to a Bills TD and a 7-0 halftime lead. Does that configure into your math equation?

We’re playing a tough schedule and I think many of the teams are better than we want to think. The Jets?  The Lions?  The Vikings?  Next the Dolphins.. none of these are easy teams to beat.   So, I agree, its been a lot of difficult wins against good teams.  I’ll take it. 
 

I get critical review of the game. But what does get old is when players are called out as garbage and the hyperbole despite the win.   If you read some posts, without knowing the score, you’d think we lost the last 4 games.   So i guess perspective is missing by some?  
 

next week is huge!

 

I try not to get to up or down on players.

 

They are either playing up to their potential or not, playing through injuries factors of couse.

 

If they are playing their best, then it is up to the coaches to put them where they can have the most success. Dane looked better today in zone than he has when playing man.

 

Scheme, game plan, and situation/clock management I lay squarely on coaching in any game the good or the bad.

 

In wins I often think there are things that can be improved. I don't just look for those when we are handed a loss.

 

There are some real positives I could focus more on. Allen's play seems to be coming a bit more into focus since the GB game; some got away from him early, seemed to take some time to adjust to field conditions.

 

Special Teams has been solid this year. Punts have been solid as well as coverage, kicking game and FGs too.

 

Cook has shown some flash and I wish we could see some more plays designed to get the ball to him. The way he held on while taking the hit he took deserves some confidence and more touches.

 

Jones and the interior DL is vastly improved and our DEs are coming on at the right time.

 

Diggs is solid and is going to draw their best cover DB and help. Others need to step up as he creates the opportunities and space they should be able to exploit.

I think your point is correct. We need at least one other receiver to step up. Davis did last season, hopefully he will again.  McKenzie just can’t drop so many passes. I keep hoping Shakir will step up.  Almost every time I thought Josh threw a bad pass, the replay would show a good pass that was a drop or the defender outfighting the receiver.  Did we make any contested catches today?  
 

 

[ProcessTruster]

The McBeane process has delivered to the fans a bunch of ballers.   The fight in this team is amazing.   Right there against all competition.  Every game. 

 

No Jags or Colts games this year.. no one is boat racin' this team this year nor is this team going to sleep in any game this year. 

 

Love what I am seeing the past 2-3 years, after 20 years of crap.   

 

We'd have a Lombardi by now if the jackass, fired ST coach doesn't sh-t the bed with 13 sec left.  

 

keep going bills!

Defense is the key to winning big games. As frustrating as our offense was today, our defense really played well, especially when it counted.  The d-line wanted to show they’re very good, even without Von Miller. I think they showed they are.

What I really liked about today's game was that we were the more physical team. The Jets kept the game in range, but physically, we beat them up pretty good. And not just Mike White. How about Dion's block on the TD run? Jets receivers were taking big shots all day. Lots of gang tackling, etc.

 

 

And I've seen a lot of posters calling out Dane Jackson (he sucks, he needs to sit, another bad game by Jackson). He didn't give up a TD, I never saw a receiver he was covering running free, and he had two really good plays late in the 4th quarter to help seal the win. What are you posters seeing that I am not? I'm not saying he is spectacular, but did I miss some really bad plays by him today? He came up big down the stretch.

Too many people on this board with the same shtick after a win, please be original if you're going to troll.

2 for 13 on 3rd downs. Are you happy with that?

I get that. Many on here aren't crapping on the win. I'm so happy and at peace this Sunday because of the win.

 

I can't help but to be realistic about the team. It just doesn't seem like a Super Bowl team despite their winning. I guess it's all about how you see things. For example, look at the 10-3 Minn team. How many think they are a Super Bowl team? Tenn Titans Number 1 seed last year. See my point?
