I targeted 24 as a good day for the Bills offense tonight. Have a shot at that

On the road. In prime time. On 9/11

With the others team’s QB going down and Zach Wilson throwing a bad pick. Cmon. Allen looks lost. Offense still doesn’t look good minus a couple good runs and 2 nice throws one to Gabe and one to diggs.

People are complaining? Lol Bills fans are ridiculous right now.

 

I love the way our guys are playing. I hate the game plan. Business as usual.

[Rocky Landing]

Poor Nate Hackett. I don't believe he has the slightest idea what to do without Rodgers.

[Coach Tuesday]

Well Leonard Floyd certainly has paid for himself……….

That halftime show was like a funeral.

Being here is a funeral. A group in front of us packed up and left. I dont get it. It isn't like it is 23 to 3. Just odd fans

I never thought in the gameday thread, newcam would be the one I'm agreeing with 🤣  

 

Maybe he's a new, newcam? 

[loveorhatembillsfan4life]

Diggs, Kincaid and Cook. After that I don’t know what we can count on.

I'm actually hoping Rodgers isn't gone long term.  I do not want the Jets to have a shot at Caleb Williams.

If he’s out long term his career could be over…I have 0 faith in the jets to develop a qb with Hackett and Saleh as coaches

Pretty solid half of football. Our o-line has held up better than I expected.

Sort of....?

its the situations. were bad in rz last year. and allen turns over the ball. same story

[CapeBreton]

If you’re the Jets, wouldn’t it be wise to run the ball on every play?

Home and able to watch focused.

 

Anyone want me to break down X's and O's on a deep level or watch anything?

Bills started with shades of 2019 and 2020. 2019, short passing plays starting with a slant to Diggs, flare route to Harty, back to Knox. 

 

2020, a lot of spread offense early, with 3-4 wides. 

 

Allen had one of his best throws in awhile, reminiscent of the Gabe Davis dagger against the 49ers, but this was back the other way in between 3 Jets for a 26-yard gain.

 

Mixing in Cook in variety of different looks on the ground. He got 8 carries, best run was a sweep right to the outside for 11.  

 

Bernard stinks, gets completely swallowed, is an effective blitzer. 

 

Milano's closing speed is noticeable.

Disagree on ‘very shaky’. He engineered an 11 minute scoring drive and ran judicially. Was the int dumb? Eh, could a punt have been better?

Just seems a bit off on proceeding through his reads.

I'm good with that half.  This is one of the toughest defenses we are going to face.  Bills still working out kinks.  All they need to do is play smart and not turnover the ball.

I'm one of the worst Bills critics here. 

 

I thought it was a good first half for the Bills. Sure it could have been better but overall pretty solid. 

 

Let's not forget the Jets D is really good. 

 

Josh a few bad throws, run defense not looking good, Josh taking what the Jets D is giving him, Diggs looks really sharp, Cook and Kincaid look good, and the Bills D looks more aggressive. Helps that Rodgers is out. 

 

A solid half here and the Bills should get a very nice win.
