Nice game today.  As I mentioned before the game, I didn't have a great feel for how it was going to go, but after the first couple of series, it was pretty obvious we were going to be the better team in this game today.  I am actually very interested in seeing the breakdowns from this game and the All 22 tape as well.  After watching just the main broadcast, though, I did see some encouraging signs out of the coaching on both sides of the ball.  To me at least, just going off the first watch, I didn't get the feeling that we were running on 80% of first downs like we have been a lot of the season.  It also seemed like Allen was under center a bit more and we ran some more play action than normal.  It wasn't always the most convincing play action, but any effort to implement it is better than not.  So, shout out to Brady for changing things up a bit.  And, on the defensive side of the ball, the run fits were great in this one.  The best of the season by far.

 

So, for as much praise and shout outs for the players we can give, I choose to give the coaching staff their props.  They had as good a day as they have had in a long time.

I thought the same thing and it made me wonder if that left hand is still affecting Allen's ball-handling because he's typically better than that.

I can’t believe people ever complain about McD. That was  an absolute defensive coaching clinic. 

On the broadcast, Brady must have said a dozen times how well the Bills are

coached.

bufffalo plus  said the bills have not had two td drives of 90 plus yards in a game since 1993

and to add to this

1st time in the entire nfl since 2022

Still an awful lot of penalties for a well coached team, but Seattle looked a hot mess today.

Those penalties felt like they were trying to commit attempted murder on a couple of those drives but Josh Allen wasn't having it.

I liked the tighter splits.   Good for loud environments.  We owned the LOS today.  Dominant win.

Lots of obvious holdings out of power running formations and the continued pre-snap penalties are an annoyance.

Holding is so odd week to week…teams get away with that level of holds all game some games.  Granted you can’t keep doing it once they’re obviously calling it close though 🤣

The point of attack holdings on run plays seem to get called pretty often.  Line holding on pass plays is much more inconsistent. IMO

Cris Collinsworth was insufferable, even then.

[Buffalo_Stampede]

Keon Coleman and Shakir are some physical WRs. Love it.

 

Today was exactly how you use them. Cooper will eventually get his as well. 
 

OL had a great day in the run game. 
 

This defense is so well coached. They were very prepared today.

 

Very impressive performance by this Bills team.

In his press conference after the game, Geno Smith gave credit to the Bills fans in the stadium.  He said sometimes it sounded like he was playing on the road.  I was sitting pretty far up in the lower bowl on the Seahawk sideline, and there was a lot of noise coming from all the Bills fans from goal line to goal line on the Bills sideline. Great job.

Geno seemed pretty pissed today in general. Cameras definitely caught him complaining about play calling at least once.

You could definitely hear it on TV. Amazing how loud the Bills fans sounded there.
