Bills vs Raiders 1st half thread

I guess the Jets D is just in Josh's head. Much more like his good self this week

I would like to see a rule change where if there are offsetting fouls and one of them is a personal foul that the personal foul stands.

Who is that next to Dorsey looking at him like “please don’t throw anything”?

lol, I used to coach Little League with a guy who was like that on every pitch.  He’d be frothing and pacing half an hour before the game.  And the kids were nine.  Shouldn’t surprise anyone that he was a football guy.

21-10. Can we please lose the delayed runs out of the gun. Go under center and just mix up the run, pass and play action. Keep it simple and we win this easy. Th D will over pursue everything. 

 

Good work from Dorsey overall, but he still outthinks himself at times.

Nah. He is an inside guy. They will need an outside option even if Shakir breaks out.

Yes but Shakir is underrated sneaky in tight spaces. Then has the hands to make catches. Perfect use of his skill set there.

Josh Allen   18/21   142   2   0

These are exactly the types of numbers we need to see from him.

At least Bernard nabbed the interception... Edmunds haters always complained about him missing those plays.

It’s not hating. It’s factual. As much as folks liked to say Edmunds was this pass defense animal, the guy averaged 1 pick a season.

 

Bernard hitting his average by week 2 lmao.

Ok not the prettiest game we've seen but it feels nice to see things at least sort of stable 

This looks like how they looked all last year. It feels like Dorsey's offense just never has a good rhythm.

We are better on defense when we can line up right. This MLB thing remains a concern though. 

 

Very good half on offense. 

Kirksey is getting healthy on the PS.

He just saw his old college buddy and got excited.

 

I do wonder whether he had second thoughts about just running into him for that reason, so tried the leap instead.

 

But he could have slid.

 

For the first time in NFL Redzone history (15 years) - every team on offense at the minute mark has scored points.

[HOUSE]

The Raiders were running the ball well than they gave it up?

Hummmm

To a certain extent,  yes,  but I think it's largely just a case of not playing for 6 months and getting impatient against a good D. 

[Nelius]

Real Josh is back. Let’s allow this past week of god awful takes as a freebie.

I’ve been saying it til the cows come home. 
 

shakir is a faster Hines ward

 

those are the plays he makes. Play him more

Would have stayed perfect if not for the annoucers jinxing him at 13.

I really liked that delayed run out of the gun when Josh rolled out before giving it to Cook.

Have loved the offense so far today; to me it's been a good mix and has had rhythm.

[Shortchaz]

Think my butthole finally unclenched 

[Pine Barrens Mafia]

Good half. Let's see another good half

It would have been that trademark bobble the ball then it hits the ground
