Judas Priest this game should scare the crap out of the AFC.  How long can teams scheme to force Allen to be patient when:

 

*  He's 31/37 for 274 yards & 3 TD's

 

*  The offense scores 38 points being beyond patient.

 

*  The Bills have OVER 40 MINUTES of TOP!

 

*  The Bills rush for 183 yards and 2 TD's.

 

At some point teams are going to have to bring safeties to the LOS.  And you know what that means.

 

This, this, and this. If we can get the 3-headed rush game monster established… look out.

Yeah, I feel like Floyd and Hyde for that matter could have come back had the score not been what it was and they could afford to rest them. 

 

Haven't heard much on Morse, however. Hoping it was his finger again and not anything serious 

[Florida Bills Fanatic]

Good game plan and smart execution.  I also liked the physical play by the o-line.

Both Hyde and Floyd said they'd be ready by next week but that could always be tough football player who doesn't want to be kept out talk, but didn't Morse go back in?

No win is insignificant. 

Indeed. But my point was: it was insignificant as far as drawing conclusions from it.

First possession by LV and I thought we were in for a long season.  Let them score so quickly on long plays.

 

Buckled down, Josh had a hell of a game and Cook played very well.  What a great win!!

Pretty sure Morse did go back in.

I need to see that. I randomly started reading the book recently, and it is great.

Yeah getting back to playing good football isn't insignificant, but I could see how you'd say that.

[RiotAct]

just saw on the CBS ticker that Jacobs had 9 rushes for…….. -2 yards?!?!?

-2 yards for Josh Jacobs…

I don't mind whether or not someone has a positive or negative take on any aspect of the bills. But a lot of people who never have anything good to say, and who are always matter-of-fact about how correct they are, told me that they were starting Jacobs in fantasy because we were in for a long day against him. They will not acknowledge this and will continue to self-assuredly make sure we all know that we are doomed until we blow up the franchise

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?

 

First impression is this...

 

Something like 3 out of 4 play calls last week were pass plays - despite the fact we couldn't protect Josh.

Today was nearly 50-50.  

 

This week's balance made us more unpredictable and harder to defend.
