Bills @ Patriots Game thread - 1st half

[Dr.Sack]

Josh Allen is 3/9 for 17 yards when targeting WRs. Bass with a wind assisted shank. I see the wind speeds are 15mph coming from the west. Anyone else think this is a factor? 

[KOKBILLS]

I'm not sure what happened after that Miami game... Maybe it was the injuries (Tre, Milano, and Jones)?... But this does not look like the same team to me at all.

 

The Jets game was all on Josh... Everyone knows what happened there. And even though they did not look like world beaters vs The Raiders and Washington, you could clearly tell who the better team was. But it seems like something broke when Tre went down. Like the team collectively lost something? Like their edge... I know it's not a scientific way of looking at it. But it's like they are SO fragile all of a sudden. The week after Miami you had the entire NFL talking about the Bills being bullies. They don't look like bullies now... Weak and scrambling for answers... Even the pass rush has tapered off...Just pathetic considering the talent still on this team, injuries or not.

Debate over. MIA will kill us. 

 

Miami?  

 

What about Philly, KC, Cincy, Chargers ... all road games, and Dallas at home.  

 

If we can't pull this game out, we're 4-3 and likely headed for 8-8 or 9-7, and possibly missing the playoffs.

Bills need to play the whole second half like there is 2 mins left,  some urgency is needed.  I see a team just playing slow

Why was Josh Allen able to blow teams out in 2020? What happened? 

teams adjust

No. He throws in Buffalo. Macorkle isn't passing poorly, though he isn't throwing much

Miami might have the worst defense in the league idk how much of it was an anomaly.  

For sure. We are saying the same thing basically.

 

My point is bills won’t get those looks from DCs the rest of the year

The hook on that kick was unreal. Like it hit a hurricane wind

Yes. Need to change mojo.

OK.....new strategy for the 2nd half to try.  Hurry up offense and let Allen call his own plays.  Just need to try something new.  It can't get much worse than 3 points in the first half even if it fails.  Just need to try and spark something.

Yea but I really don’t believe that this team will be fixed this season. 
 

Allen is mediocre, the defensive injuries have made the defence average, the coaches are inept. 
 

The dominance we’ve grown accustomed to the past few seasons is over. 
 

Most concern is Allen has completely regressed and is at times a liability. 

If your quarterback is regressing I say you still look at your OC

Have to get Diggs involved.

 

Need to get TOP on our side.

That Miami dismantling feels a world away right now.

Worst camera work I have seen on a game in memory. Producer needs to be fired too. 

Now that I notice it. Yes.

Teams are making the Bills execute painful 15+ play drives. 

We are doing that intentionally by design, its the only thing keeping the defense from being completely embarrased.  The defense has forced two punts against the two worst offenses in the NFL Giants/ Patriots in 4.5 quarters.

They asked who he wanted for the role … they should have appointed who they wanted . .. I never said they had to follow his advice … but why you even asking it in the first place from a 4 year player?? 

Because the coach is weak and wanted to please instead of making the hard decisions himself.

Don't forget "There are a lot of All-Pro offensive coordinators out there watching games, a lot of quarterbacks in the stands who think they know what they’re doing"

Yeah, what an arrogant comment by him.  Truth is there are a LOT of people out there who know where the is supposed to go on plays.  I think Allen plays humble but is stubborn and cocky

[We'reWalking]

Does nobody here think the Bills are just playing Vanilla to conceal their playbook footage from better teams? They obviously will win.
