Raiders @ Bills - Postgame Thread

[Dan Darragh]

I can't remember the last time we had a credible running game.

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

I mean, I can come up with a few:

- Allen still taking an unnecessary hit well after the first down.

- Red zone offense felt disjointed. They did convert to TDs, but relied on 4th down conversions.

- Poyer, Hyde and White all looked slow at times. We need to figure something out against Miami’s speedy WRs

- Aggressive defensive play calling made us vulnerable to screens. Adams took one to the house.

- ??? Okay, I’m all out

 

Still a completely dominant win, I expect a similar result next week!

[Green Lightning]

Loved, loved, loved Josh's game this week. Moved chains and played smart. OLine did their job. More please!

Raiders ran a grand total of 39 plays on offense.  

That is how you control a game.  Long sustained drives

Elam needs to be active for the Miami game. He at least has speed and showed in playoffs he can be physical against Hill

Ken Dorsey called an excellent game.

 There

I said it.

 

team win though 

 Go Bills

Outside of the 2nd and 15 run in OT last week, I thought he called a good game against the Jets as well.

[RunTheBall]

WHERE ARE ALL THE BERNARD HATERS??

 

I liked Tremaine but at 18 million IDK if he even makes the plays Bernard made today. If you can keep Bernard clean, he can shoot gaps and dropped Jacobs a couple times. It’s only game 2 but he’s holding his own and even making some plays.

 

This is the second straight game Dorsey called a good game, this time Josh stuck to the script. I’d still like to see him under center more with play action (like the long Kincaid pass) and that 4th down call sucked but overall he’s shown some growth. Yeah I know it was the Raiders D but we needed a game like this to get on track and winning in dominant fashion doesn’t suck either.

 

Overall, exactly what this team needed especially Josh. Hopefully they can keep it rolling against Washington and then get a good test against Miami.

 

Go Bills!

Fully what I expected and predicted.  A game the Bills should win. 

Dorsey and team rotated the RBs nicely. 

[Rc2catch]

Loved the game plan much more today. Outside the first scripted drive the defense looked quite good. Milano with one of the coolest picks I’ve ever seen. 
Run game.. run game.. run game. All 3 backs looked solid. Allen was pretty smart and rarely looked like he had to put on a cape and do everything. 
Lastly a shoutout to Spencer brown, Crosby was pretty much a non factor and brown didn’t get as much help as I expected. Solid game for them to build on

The rookie keeps running routes short of the sticks

Would he be open past the sticks?

[AKC]

Dorsey did the right thing letting Spencer Brown hit Crosby again and again with runs to that side early. It should be the formula whenever Brown is going up against a good pass rusher. Crosby is good against the run too but it really took him out of his rushing game by getting worked regularly by a bigger player. We have tools to punish opponents and on O we really benefit when we use them. Hopefully we keep getting more each game from our TEs who can make secondaries pay for deep zone coverages.

I'll eat the crow this week on Gabe Davis. 

 

Incredible job by the Bills rush defense today. 

 

Does anyone miss Singletary? 

 

Allen's escapability today on full display. 

 

Spencer Brown and the chipping on Maxx Crosby. 

 

Milano is off to a monster year. 

 

Bernard - hey, got the interception that stopped the Raiders. 

[Green Lightning]

Josh's side arm beauty to Shakir was a reminder of how amazing he can be. All smart decisions today. Great situational awareness today. This is our formula.

[SydneyBillsFan]

Props to Spencer Brown, I don't think Crosby made any plays today.

Yes, Latavius' size stands out at 6'3". 

 

And Harris with the big kick return. 

[Scott7975]

I'd love some all22 reviewers to maybe do a writeup this week talking about whether Dorsey's plays were different this week or if Josh was just making better decisions. Like did Dorsey dial down the deeper routes?  I dunno who else looks at the all22 that deeply... interested in that @GunnerBill?

They helped brown a lot, but yes regardless he still played a solid game 

[thewookie1]

Patient Allen is a borderline unstoppable player; it'd be nice if he stayed like that every game.

Aging secondary is probably my biggest concern. Will need to cover that up with an overwhelming pass rush. Looking forward to Miller coming back.

Team played pretty good.  Nothing to get excited about but a win is a win. 

Come on man. As a dude who is pretty quick to say “QB needs tondonX,Y, Z” he did X,Y,Z all day. 
 

Sure don’t miss organize the SB parade, but this is the game myself and others hard on Josh were begging for. 
 

This one was quality and efficient QB play. When this team does that the sky is the limit.
