I'm just gonna reiterate, a good run game makes this offense hum!! 

This may be the difference between us and the Dolphins. Insanely long drives with a stop or 2 on defense will probably have Tyreek Hill looking like a crack addict on the sideline

Anyone have the snap counts? The Raiders did a fair amount of running, so I’m curious why Poona Ford and Tim Settle didn’t log a single stat.

 

They usually don't come out for 24 hrs

Tim Hasselbeck just referred to Allen as being reckless today and said that we didn’t run the football so he had to be. Once they write these narratives they just won’t come off them even if other evidence is right in front of them.

 

Until I read this, I had absolutely no idea that Matt Hasselbeck had a younger brother named Tim who had played in the NFL and is now working for ESPN.  Never heard of him before your post.

 

Fun Bills Rush Facts from Today:

35 rush attempts, 37 pass attempts

10 1D by rush, 17 1D by pass

183 rush yards

5.2 ypa

Josh Allen 3 attempts for 7 yards rushing

 

I did think a few of Josh's throws were a bit reckless, but none of them were stupid unlike last week.

Without reviewing the film yet, Spencer Brown may be deserving of a game ball. Crosby was a non factor today, which amazes the hell out of me.

Same financial adviser, lol.

 

Speaking of Financial Advisors, Taylor Rapp is going to be lighter in the wallet by Friday.   Not very classy either.

Was Tim still watching the Jets game?

I think the Bills have already proved the are resilient. The talk was they couldn't win the close games. That got put to rest after last season. 

 

The Jets game was basically on Allen. A QB can win and lose games. Josh lost it! He bounced back today and I think that's the more realistic version of Allen. He's human and we will not always be sharp. The Bills just need him to be smart. 

 

I'm not sure how far the Bills advance this season. Hopefully, it's to the SB. One thing I'm not too concerned about is Bills winning "dog fights."

I think all parts of the team stunk week 1.   

    -  ST lost the game with the punt return in OT

    -  Allen lost the game with the costly fumble and boneheaded INTs

    -  Defense lost the game with the big runs and allowing the Jets to score that TD.

Agreed...The raiders had a total of 39 plays on Offense of which 7 came in the last drive...

“It's the first time since 1970 that the reigning NFL rushing champion has been held to negative yards rushing in a game, according to ESPN”

Who’d a thunk? I wouldn’t have taken that bet 20:1 odds 

[WhitewalkerInPhilly]

I don't think we will stay 1:1 pass/run but I'll Harris and Murray can run like that I fully advocate 60:40

LOL at anyone worried about a “disaster” after the Raiders’ first drive. 
 

Have any of you ever watched a football game before?

 

I think it was a couple seasons ago against the Giants where Saquon had about 75 rushing yards to open the first drive and then we scored 24 unanswered points or something. Yesterday reminded me of that

He’ll deserve the fine.

 

But what was Adams still doing out there in a blowout anyway?

Allen takes helmet hits every game and no one is ever fined. What a joke

PFR says Ford played 13 snaps on D and Settle played 14.  Vegas only ran the ball 15 times, so interior DL tackles were limited to begin with.

After the jet sweep on the opening drive, Raiders gained 21 rushing yards on 14 carries, one of which was Garropolo's 1 yd sack avoidance.

The Jets came down to earth this week.  But the Jets defense that we faced Monday played one of the most flawless games I've seen on film. They were beyond juiced even after the injury. Perfect positioning and instincts. And I still thought the offense ran well save for a drunk QB. 

 

The Raiders aren't GOOD on defense but they are much closer to representing the AVERAGE defense the Bills will see this year than that Jets defense was that night. 

 

This bodes well for the bills.

Ed Oliver looked like a very good DT in the game. It was a pleasant surprise.

That was entirely Tim's point. He was discussing the difference between reckless and aggressive, and how there isnt much of a difference if/when you want to score, and have the offense built around Allen like we do. Tim showed the Shakir and Davis TDs and how they were throws that go against everything that is typically coached, but Allen can and will pull it off.

 

He was basically saying it was a good type of reckless this week, that comes after checking it down all day like he is supposed to and the Bills establishing a running game.

Biggest thing that jumps out to me is Bills had 78 snaps, and Raiders only ~40.

 

Obvious from watching the game and the Bills straight up owning the 3rd quarter, but still interesting to see.
