They may be undefeated when the Bills play the.  

Okay. But I don’t agree with you that the Bills are average just because they’re 1-1. I still think they’re well above average and interested to see how they contend with Miami’s O.

Who else notices Dodson - Bernard - Milano when the team brought 3 LBers out?

 

I like Dodson as the SAM…

Very true! Can’t possibly imagine what people could complain about after this week. 

The play called by Dorsey on the 4th down near the goal line, that failed, was abhorrent. 😂 How about a QB sneak, or a fake QB sneak and a bootleg to the outside by JA17? Could have even had JA under center with one RB in the backfield, fake the handoff to said RB, then have JA rollout for an easy walk in TD. You know the Raiders were going to stuff the box there. C'mon man! LOL

[WhitewalkerInPhilly]

I don't think that we see quite so much run game outside of blow outs, but I do think Murray and Harris have shown more than enough to be be a change of pace option and should be used against power D lines

Josh was throwing to Diggs in the back of the end zone but Knox did not know that and tried to grab it. Design worked except for the Knox part. I would not have called it because it took so long to develop but the design was actually solid.

and ironically if he'd thrown it a little lower Knox probably would have caught it and scored himself.

I disagree.

 

Majority was on Josh for sure.

 

But… minimal play action. Went away from the run game. Shot gun essentially all game long.

 

Sure he had check downs and underneath stuff that Josh didn’t take, but that’s just one part of a game plan/play calling.

And I would disagree.  It is looking like the short underneath passes are a major part of this offense.  They were there all night long for Josh.  If he had stayed on script like he did today then the bills would be 2-0.  Dorsey deserves zero blame.  He had a game winning plan.  Josh decided his way was better.

I like the enthusiasm.

 

 

 

I dig that she isn’t all done up. But can we maybe find an in between from custom bedazzled skin tight to whatever generic sweats Josh has laying around. Maybe a Bills sweatshirt. 
 

But don’t change it up until a loss Hailee. Things are lucky, so fall in line.

Bro we’ve all been to gas stations in Buffalo, c’mon now. It’s usually a 48 year old woman named Fran with a mustache.

Serious question. Why do they all have a stache?

I hate to say it but despite being an A list actress she seems far less maintenance than Brittany. 

[Straight Hucklebuck]

Local media doing their victory lap by continuing to ask Josh about the Jets, Mookie Hawkins and his obligatory running game question. 
 

So Josh taking those check-downs like we said really works RIGHT? 

 

It helps when on this opponent you can run the ball effectively with all three backs. 
 

Allen’s escapability and coordination as a runner, always keeping eyes downfield was really impressive today.

 

Good job by McDermott for keeping the foot on the gas.

0 blame?

 

Only 14 percent play action that game when Josh is an elite play action QB?

 

Barely anything under centre.

 

Not enough runs.

 

I don’t know how you can say he has zero blame as those things I listed are pretty objective

The Bills have won a lot of games like this since September of 2020. We cannot take this for granted - my entire childhood was spent wondering what it would be like to look like this even once per year

I never said the Bills are anything. Im just saying they are undefeated.

Actually I think the play was designed to go to Harty to the right, and he would have had a walk-in TD. However, he slipped and fell so Josh had to improvise. Not impressed at all with him through the first 2 weeks.

It was 5x easier catching up on this board tonight than after the last game, based on volume of posts to read. Very strange!

I could stand Hailee Steinfeld showing up to Bills games in bespoke skintight outfits

I thought the same. It felt like Josh saw him slip and didn’t even look at Harty, though he was still wide open for a walk-in.

Yeah, in real time I thought the design was to get it to Harty out on the swing but when he fell down it became a broken play and forced Allen into his only bad decision on the day. He wouldn't have walked in as he still had a man to beat, but it would likely have been 6.

A little frustrating that it's not the first time that he's looked like McKenzie...
