I dunno…Daniels looks amazing so far

Agree but this is the problem,  who?? WE have NO downfield threat,  nobody to scare a team in any sense.

Coleman 50 /50 ball, even drawing a flag 

[Brianmoorman4jesus]

Just find a way to get this please. No matter how anyone felt going into this game…***** worrying about a hypothetical raven game, winning this would feel excellent

We are playing into what Denver wants to do. Unfortunately, that’s what we want to do too. 

The 2024 Bills want 20-17 games. The 2024 Broncos do too. 

Absolutely. We’re shortening the game for them. I get it, we want to run, but you can’t TOTALLY lean on it like we have been. We need a few chunk plays. Let Allen do his thing a little more in the 2nd half.

Again, Rapp gave up the TD.

Need to send Rapp and leave Hamlin on the bench

Hamlin is too cautious on the blitz.  Need someone who blitzes with reckless abandon!

 

Problem is, if Rapp blitzes, Hamlin is on an island?  Do we want that?

Who takes over as OL#6 for Anderson?

Haha I’ll watch again I could be wrong.  The year always gets me in January 

 

Both can be true... Von could have been mugged while in the process of getting blocked.

That is the D us Debbie Downers have been telling you about.

Add advantage Sean Peyton and it’s a typical McClappy playoff showing. 
We are the better team and we are also lucky to be up by 3🤷‍♂️

I would not argue at all we struggled this year on defense but 1:52 and 2 timeouts to get your offense in range for a 50 yard fg from the 8 is not the Herculean task y’all are making it out to be lol that is plenty of time.  
 

Everybody on here is makin it sound like this was a 13 seconds situation 😂

The clock was already stopped

 

You're right but I have a feeling if we don't take the timeout Nix is looking to throw underneath and get out of bounds to preserve the timeout for one last shot to get in FG range. 

 

Instead, we call timeout and Broncos run a slow developing play downfield for their best guy. Maybe it would've happened like that regardless, but I don't think so.

[Big Turk]

Really surprised we haven't thrown to the backs more...Denver is the worst in the NFL on covering RBs...gave up the most yards and the worst passer rating...

 

Unless we are setting them up for something with all this running.

I feel like the bills are playing much better than Denver, and they arnt even playing well, if that makes sense 

They are, but 10 points on 3 time consuming drives is something Denver will take every time.

If the 2024 Bills want 20-17 games why do they score 31 points a game and have one of the biggest point margins in the league.   Don't let facts get in the way of a good narrative though

I'll play. we are only up by three because of a BOINK

 

the Broncos do feel good at halftime. we need to blow them up in the 2nd half.

I feel we’ve set them up for that possibility. 60 minute game and much Easier to pull away in the second half. I like our position 

[Since1981]

Blitzing 3 is wrong

Only because Nix is showing abilities that age well.

We usually come out better in second half, need 7 on opening drive , common boys

We absolutely play better in the second half. Something you think the coaches would realize and do something to address the first half limpness.

Cooper has talent and I still don't understand why we don't take more deep shots with him?

feels like they are sitting 2 deep just like last time we played them.  They literally want them to try and force balls.  Last year they refused to keep running and foced the ball.  

 

They have to come out and run and put together a long drive and make denver take chances.

Typical Bills first half. Expect an exciting 3rd quarter. 

we will reap the benefit of softening up their OL in the 2nd half. Mark my words
