Do we win that game with Tua playing?

 

IDK

 

IF we played like that, of course not. But if he was there I think things would have ended up differently in terms of Bills play calling etc. I do fear there was a degree of arrogance in some plays because it was 'only' Thompson on the other side.

 

No risk of that if Burrow or Lawrence is on the opposite touchline next week.

The Bills tried their damnedest to lose the game and failed.

 

Guess that'll have to be good enough. They have succeeded 3 times this season.

[Brianmoorman4jesus]

Singletary might have made the play of the year there…guy was 4 yards short at first contact. What an effort

I hope we are not favored from here on out. Another case of huge-head-itis.

They won’t be unless ravens win

Yes, D played well today, but didn't we expect that against Thompson?

Sure but they delivered, and they forced a lot of those incompletions as well

does Leslie have a 3rd down blitz in his playbook? I don't think so

Guys got no 8alls on 3rd down. 4 man rush, everyone else in zone. This is why so many 3rd and longs get converted. 
 

To be clear, it’s not his lack of blitz, it’s the keep everything in front of you defense. Burrow and Mahomes will chew that up. 

[RG Murdock]

Bills might be home underdogs next week the way they played today... A win is a win I guess. Certainly know one will be overconfident next week..   

[billybob71]

And Dorsey needs to stick with the run at times,  especially when Josh needs to settle down

[Drew21PA]

Chalk it up to a divisional opponent that is good

 

Miami is good

 

solid defense

solid playmakers

 

tske the win and move on

 

josh?  Clean. It. Up!

Yea I suspect a 1-2 point home dog if it’s Cinncy 

[78thealltimegreat]

I still think they scored 34 with 3 turnovers
Usually when you score 34 at home in the playoffs against a teams 3rd string qb you think maybe 34-14 tops…that’s playoff football it was a Murphys Law game today.

Just get ready for the Jags or Bengals.

[Juice_32]

Win…move on…repeat.

 

And I HATE Wilkins. He’s the new Cox.

[balln]

Hard to enjoy this one. They’re exactly

who they’ve been. Sloppy. Turnover happy on offense. Josh can’t not help himself. Or Dorsey can not help himself. And it’s his critical flaw.  They don’t have the personal to just try and air raid it out to beat zero. Not on OL , not in WR. 
 

d. Well. I’ve said a lot about them. And I’ll say it again. They are way worse off than last year. They are woeful in their soft zone. Once they started to man it up a bit. Elam came alive. It’s on McD to shake it up in offseason. Need to change D philosophy - poyer , Hyde and tre are aging / injuring out. Their window is closing. 
 

Now I’m back to O. They need to shake up their hot routes / audibles plan when they get blitzed / come up against man to man teams. Just chucking the ball deep or expecting Allen to break from pockets isn’t working

Kicking out of bounds was what set them off last disaster slide too

I love bass but that’s at least the 3rd time this season he’s done that 

[Coach Tuesday]

I love Josh Allen more than any athlete I’ve ever rooted for.  
 

But I look forward to him becoming a grownup.

 

Meanwhile here’s Dorsey celebrating the win:

This has been Josh’s go to when he’s not quite sure what’s going on. And if it’s not there, hold the ball and hope the underneath clears out and he can take off.

 

They need to get some routes where he's throwing it quicker to take some heat off. This offense is too easy to defend and relies wholly on Josh doing something crazy. 

 

They also need another year like 2020 where they put in a LOT of offseason work with the QB/WRs so they learn to catch his passes which everyone says are harder than most QBs. There's blame on both sides for drops even if the ball looks catchable. 

 

It's insane that they have gone the whole year without someone being like, "we should figure out how to run a screen or quick slant"

I usually junkie out watching the highlights after Bills' games. Not this time. 🤢
