How is it that it’s non stop excuses about the lions defensive injuries but last year we had it even worse? Nobody said a word.  We lost like 20 guys on defense alone, nobody said anything? We played a home playoff game with an old retired STs guy starting at LB

Yea I find that very irritating…even this year the defense has been a wreck injury wise for long stretches.  
 

it’s the same ‘kc owns us in the playoffs’ talk with no asterisk despite kc being pretty much completely healthy and our entire lb room being gone last year..  earlier in the year last year when we had a huge game against Miami our entire defensive backfield was out and there were no extra props when we beat them

I'm not sure more coaches have been made to look wrong even when they have a perfect play call than against Allen.

 

My favorite reactions of all time were during the 2020 season when Belichick slammed the phone down after Allen did something ridiculous when he had a perfect play call and when Fangio with Denver just threw his hands up in the air after he had all the receivers covered on a 3rd down play and Allen just scrambled for a TD anyway.

 

Josh Allen Making Coaches Bald would be an outstanding You Tube video series

Lions also holding an open tryout for their defense on Tuesday...

 

Has this ever been done this late in a season before by a conference leading team?? 😳

I think they use the wind as the reason for the limited offensive output for the Ravens, while making the argument that our playoff defense sucks.

That’s kinda the same thing in this context lol ‘just wait until Baltimore comes in and it’s windy they’ll destroy us’ was the suggestion but the same people have been saying Baltimore couldn’t do anything on offense because of wind for a few years now 😂

Oh 100% and there would be a LOT of great clips in there I am sure.

I think neutralizing the pass game would hurt us vs them, especially now with Henry.

 

My comment was simply directed at the idea that poster couldn't envision anyone beating the bills in the playoffs.  That is a scenario I wouldn't feel great about.

What a play.

 

I can also see what the ref saw as well. Ref sees the DT reaching for Allen while falling. Edwards has a good grip. Weak call but the ref has a clear view of Edwards gripping the jersey as the DT reaches for Allen and falls.

One thing that was missed by all the "experts" before the season is that our Oline is really good and when it is allowing Josh time he is beyond deadly, regardless of who is out catching the ball

 

True.. and OBD has found some gems in the draft and it is the most comfort I have had with our OL depth in a long time.

 

Kromer is one heck of a coach and really has this group humming.

 

Torrence seems to be putting in the work to improve his pass pro sets. The false starts across the line have to get cleaned up a bit, but other than that this has been a real solid season keeping Josh clean.

 

We even execute screen plays and use some elaborate motion, pulling and blocking schemes that work.... I had just about given up on my Bills being able to pull off a screen play

You could put Belichik grinding his teeth saying "17 is a problem" on a loop and I would watch it through my entire lunch.

Probably the greatest professional compliment Josh Allen will ever receive.

You mean how low/quiet the announcers' voice volume was?

Not so much the level but the quality, there’s like a static to their voices. Sounds like there might be interference or something wrong on the audio settings for the source. 
 

Im not an audio engineer so my knowledge is limited.

I absolutely love when we play NFC teams we haven't seen in a while.

These dudes have never seen 6'5" 240lb white boy move like that in their lives and you can set your watch to their pursuit angles being totally inappropriate. 

 

not sure what race has to do with anything and the NFC has plenty of big/fast players in their own right. odd take on the situation

I mean there was Dungy post game last night saying "Josh Allen cannot be human" 🤣

Except against La"mew". Whose all-

time playoff highlight is throwing a 101 yard pick six to Taron Johnson...

 

Which says more about what he has accomplished in the playoffs than about anything else.

for sure. Baltimore could be a problem in the playoffs. I am hoping we dont see them in poor weather. Their weakness is in rushing the passer but if the passing game is slowed by weather it mitigates that weakness for them

Campbell looked downright twitchy in his presser talking about how they had planned for Allen to contain and have a spy on him.

 

We don't play the Lions often, but Allen has been there done that with so many teams.

 

They were not showing him anything new.

Allen's passing has been amazing the past few weeks. I mean, it generally is - but some of the pinpoint long & intermediate passes he has made are really jaw-dropping.

 

Love the protection he's getting.  Give JA time, and he's going to find a guy and get the ball to him.

They really weren’t in any worse shape than we were the second half of that game…our guys just got  dinged up though and will be back or we’d probably be doing the same lol 

 

We were out 3 safeties, 2 linebackers and a corner provided im not missing anyone it was hard to keep up with 😂

Protection has been on point. There’s been pressures but it’s only ever usually one player who Josh is more often than not capable of evading.

Am I the only one becoming a real fan of Spencer Brown? He’s an absolute monster. He’s got that old school neck roll on his shoulder pads. He’s playing really good football. Love everything about him.
