Week 11, Chefs v. Bills, GAME BALLS!

[Sestak4ever]

Besides all the players previously mentioned I also think Epenesa had a good game. He is very good at reading the out passes and getting his hands up. He applied pressure multiple times and was involved in quite a few tackles. But, as stated the entire defense played well.

Not bad for a rebuilding year.

Most weeks I have a bunch of game balls to give out. McDermott deserves one, Brady deserves one, the defensive line as a unit deserves one.

But -- echoing what I just said in the post-game thread -- this week I just wanna give out one game ball:

#17. Josh Allen. 

I've begun to run out of superlatives for the guy. He makes the miraculous seem commonplace. He makes the incredible seem routine. 

1 of 1. Best football player on the planet. I'm so thankful he's a Buffalo Bill.

We don’t have to listen to the endless BS about how the chefs are undefeated anymore.  Bless our Bills.

Offense - Josh Allen

Defense - Terell Bernard

Special Teams - Sam Martin

Who do you think the 3 best players were? (1 offense, 1 defense, 1 ST)

[BringMetheHeadofLeonLett]

Way too many good plays by so many players to break it down to 3.  Shakir, Cooper, Knox... that whole pass blocking unit (not so much the run blocking haha), but the pass blocking was phenomenal given the substitutions, and going against that DL and KC's pretty dang good blitz schemes.  

 

Benford, Douglas, Rousseau, AJE, Rapp, Hamlin all had serious plays.  Miller got home and contributed on several other plays- though the coaches need to kick his ass on one play where he totally coasted once he thought he was out of it- he could have shut down a much bigger gain if he'd kept playing - but still a good game overall for Von - in the sense of working his way back to being who we'll want out there on the field.   I haven't been too sure we even want him out there recently.  
 

Codrington was exciting. I'm onboard with that trade!

 

Great team game yadda yadda yadda coach-speak coach-speak

[Reks Ryan]

Josh Allen MVP, Cook for 2 tough TD runs, Shakir, Knox.

 

Strong team defense. Among others, Epenesa was solid all day.

 

Coddrington.

As @folz pointed out, it was a total team win with almost too many players/coaches to mention.

That was damn fine team defense. The blitzed were awesome, the swarming coverages and key stops over and over.

 

Yes, great defensive game plan, well executed.

Cam freaking Lewis!

 

Lewis has improved a great deal this year. So has Dorian Williams. The injuries to starters have had a substantial silver lining.

Maybe not the first person you'd think of - but Amari Cooper should get more love on here.

 

He had two really important incredible grabs. The first one handed and the second an incredible tracking ball that I don't know if any other WR on this team would have made. All the while playing hurt and in a cast (or at least it was for the last couple weeks).

 

The same could be said for several players but the Bills don't win this game without Cooper. That one-handed contested catch while he was being interfered with was clutch as was his "Andruw Jones on the warning track" catch. I love how the fact of him being 20 lbs heavier than Diggs really comes into play quite a bit. On the latter catch the ball just instantly glued itself to his hands, ensuring that both feet were down.

Von?

 

watch the game again, especially late 4th quarter.

 

it’s not often you see a player dog it like that.

 

was brutal.

 

Disagree strongly. Von and Epenesa were outstanding in their rush discipline. They rarely looped too deep. Mahomes was getting the ball out pretty quickly or there would have been a few more cleanup sacks.

 

Mahomes (like Josh) is now subjected to something like "The Jordan Rules." Teams have figured out that it's important to keep  him in the pocket. The Bills, like Denver last week were great at this and Von was part of that. Almost every rush was a bull rush, trying to take away run lanes and space for him to step into his throws.

Gotta say I think the entire D line deserves a game ball. Numerous, timely pressures and sacks. But even more important than that is they kept Mahomes in the pocket all day. Rarely was he slipping outside and improving. Normally that happens and it ends up tearing the opponent apart. 
 

the entire d line was very disciplined today. 

 

100%... very well-stated.

I'm so glad we can put that shiiiiiiiit to bed.

 

The Bills have won every game this year, except for two games where they were injured and not yet playing well... on the road against two pretty good teams.

Unsung Heroes- The whole DL, they played Mahomes perfectly with the contain, did their 1/11th and made life uncomfortable all day.  I forgot if he even ran once, he is sneaky good converting with his legs

 

The whole OL - Chiefs couldn't get any pressure without blitzing, missing a stud RT and they didn't miss a beat

 

This was such a satisfying win, truly a complete game by everyone
