Russ looks significantly better and more intimidating than last season. Leaps and bounds better. He is finally using those long arms to drive and punch.

Expand  

Beyond that he just looks thicker to me

Should've moved them back out of FG position and made them make a play.

I hope we mix up the formations a bit more this drive.  Clearly Dorsey wanted quick hitting passing attack.  

 

But Jets have adjusted, time for us to get more running game/TEs involved

Expand  

Yup.  Time for that TE duo to show up.  

[Hsker4life]

Declining the penalty was the right call.

 

Accept it and best case scenario is you hold them to a 53 yard attempt. Worst case you give up a big play or commit a dumb penalty and keep the drive going for a TD. 
 

i agree with declining it. They were still in FG range.

[GETTOTHE50]

I’m ok with declining the penalties. Anything can happen that gives the offense a first down, like a penalty, so get off the field asap 

[HappyDays]

This is the first time I can remember that the storyline coming into the game is the opposing offense has a bad OL and we've actually made it look that way.

Go score points again. Just make every drive a point scoring drive. Touchdowns are great but kicking 3 more FGs might be enough here.

Expand  

I just want the Bills to put this game away. Getting FGs isn't going to do that. 

 

The longer they hang around the more the Jets have a chance to steal one. 

 

I'm feeling less comfortable.

I know but do you really trust this defense on third and long?

Expand  

No, but you’d think the head coach would. It’s his creation.

Hackett doesn't have an offense created for Zach. All they can do is hand it off.

Fixed it for ya

Rousseau has been a monster. He is totally living up to the training camp hype.

Expand  

His progression has been steadily rising since he was drafted. Guys gonna be very good for sure.

Why decline both? 3rd and 20ish maybe they throw a pick

Expand  

 

More likely hand off to Hall for a 30 yard TD.

Can’t wait until Avon get back! Going to be scary with those 3.

[Buddy Hix]

Maybe Dorsey has a great drive call in him here…

[Shortchaz]

Can’t have a turnover 

[CLTbills]

Time to put a dagger in them here.

He was out of the pocket.

Expand  

Actually it did go past LOS so nvm.  The fact is though that is doesn't matter if outside of pocket - it needs to go past LOS even if outside pocket - never gets called

*****in' McDermott costs us 3 points there.  TAKE THE 10-YARD PENALTY YOU IDIOT!!!!  YOU MADE THAT MISTAKE BEFORE AND YOU PROMISED US YOU WOULDN'T MAKE IT AGAIN YOU STUPID #######!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Expand  

Absolutely not. Zerlien makes that kick from 53 and why give them a chance to convert?? 

[Straight Hucklebuck]

Tipping point here, can't have a quick 3-out.
