It's all down to Philly & the Chiefs now.

 

When the Bills are on their game, they're as good as anyone.  I'm feeling some confidence heading into next week.

 

I'm not fully convinced. This week the Bills just kicked themselves in the soft dangly bits less than the Jets did but finally found some traction, but to translate that to imposing their will on an upper-tier opponent is a stretch.

 

Fully understand that the counter-argument is that they Jets D is elite, and the Bills did unprecedented (this year) things to them. While the outcome was still in doubt the Jets defense bent but didn't break.

 

The counter-counter argument to that is: the Bills broke them

My issue with him tonight was that he had 3 or 4 drops. And he ran a super lazy/slipping route in the third. I would normally not mention that route, but with the drops it wasn’t a good game for him at all.

Hopefully it's just a 1 week distraction dealing with more Trevon tweets and double teams tonight.  I still think Stef has 2 more good years in him. Go out and try to draft Odunze and increase Kincaid / Shakir targets.  Gabe is done....

Gabe isn't done, he's a comp-pick in the making !

Imagine that.  Josh runs the ball.  RBs run the ball.  Play calls look like they have an actual plan.  Calls mixed up with runs and passes and not just one or the other. Other players utilized in the pass game.  RB that couldn't get on the field had awesome runs.  Josh was in rhythm. Josh was making good decisions. Motions being used far more than any point of the season. Plays from shotgun AND plays from center. Offense scores points for the first time in 6 weeks and throughout the game, not just 1/4.  Some dude named Shakir with an 80 yard TD.  Dunno who that guy is, did we just sign him? Josh on target with his throws. All this against the best defense in the league.

 

Almost forgot... Sauce got called.

 

I wonder what the problem was.

Josh had a great game. Brady was able to get this team flowing. Something Dorsey couldn’t do, at least as of late. Big credit to both those guys tonight. I think this move was a good decision. 
 

But the “look what happens when you let Allen run” thing doesn’t fit here. He was 5/15 tonight. His game logs the rest of the season are 

 

6/36

3/7

3/46

4/17

4/14

2/11

7/17

7/41

8/44

4/14

 

I am not trying to get into a Dorsey v Brady argument but I also think it’s important to note as well.

But 3 or so runs were actual designed Allen runs, which is what has been missing. He barely had to scramble run because protection was solid. So he only ran 5 times, but having designed calls instead of him running for his life made a big difference.

Disagree. The early QB draw that Allen ran successfully changed the Jets defense.  It set up, for example, Cook being wide open not too many plays later. The real threat of Allen running was their the entire first half.  Once the Bills got a big lead, I don't think anyone expected they would have Allen run at that point.

Oh totally. You can’t have your best night every night. More of a game note and not a “Diggs sucks/is washed” comment.

you can have the best plays in the world, but you have to prepare guys to execute them through the week. coaches are teachers. if the players can't execute what you are giving them, the problem ultimately lies with you. 

I would agree. 
 

I would also state we cannot absolve the players of any wrong doing. What we saw tonight was in large part what we’ve seen for weeks.

 

The difference is that a few bounce here and there fell our way. 
 

We weren’t exactly world beaters on offense, but got the job done.

 

Again, just my opinion, but when Allen doesn’t drop the ball (he did, we fell on it) and our WRs don’t tip it to the other team (Shakir did, they missed it), we don’t play with awful field position (Cook fumble last week vs Gilliam FF this week)…it looks like an entirely different team.

 

Run game was essentially the same scheme as we’ve seen. Diggs was for most part a non-factor and Kincaid had a decent half. Gabe Davis still posting goose eggs. 
 

I am thrilled with the beat down, but I caution everyone who is claiming new world order as if erasing Dorsey eliminated every issue that’s plagued this offense. 
 

Cautiously optimistic!

Like I said earlier in the week we essentially have the same offense as last year a little tweak here or there could make all the difference in the world hard to argue with the results today I’m not saying we’ve arrived but it’s a step in the right direction

Watching the highlights on ESPN, after the Ty Johnson 4th down TD, Joe Brady is like "***** YEAH!!!!".  Saleh afterward just completely deflated in his press conference was absolutely delicious.

Bills win big and passing game looks great with Diggs being off is a great thing.

So I agree. I guess I might be being a bit pedantic. To me that falls more into the offense having a better flow to. Which I totally agree with. 
 

Where as I interpreted the OP as saying “see we ran Josh. We never run Josh”. When in reality we gave home 1-2 designed runs, which is fairly normal for us on a weekly basis. 

[Freddie's Dead]

Interesting factoid on ESPN.  Josh Allen just passed Joe Ferguson for most 3 passing TD games as a Bills QB with 23.  Jim Kelly leads that category at 30.  I say Josh beats that by the end of the 2024 season.

I need to find and watch this.

 

I hope someone asked him:

 

”Hey Baldy, did you embarass all the QBs today or just the ones on your own team? You know you’re responsible for them, and don’t have to try to body slam them in order to bench them? Who was actually embarrassed today?”

 

What a d bag

I guess. Just having a hard time believing that some Bills' coach went to Diggs this past week and said "Hey Sauce is guarding you this week, so we're probably going to be going to other guys." Can't imagine Diggs would be "OK" with that. LOL  In fact, I'd bet money he would be p***ed off.

 

That's not the game plan and that conversation never happened. As evidenced by the first two plays we ran forcing the ball to Diggs on swing/screen passes.

 

But we were up and winning and moving the ball all game. As long as THAT is happening, and as long as we win, Diggs doesnt care about targets, catches, or yards.

People are looking at the final catches and yards, but relative to all of our pass catchers he was the most targeted one on the team tonight. He just didn’t do much with it. 
 

It happens.

 

I was happy with the production from the offense today. Sure you’d like some more splash from Diggs/Davis. But games like this where all sorts of guys are catching TD passes will make it easier for those guys if we can commit to throwing to anybody and everybody who is open. Diggs will ball, I’m not concerned.

 

Great game from the offense today.

Check out Kincaid right at the end of this.

 

Great routes, hands, yac, downfield blocking...and literally throwing hands when needed. The Rook ain't fu*king around.
