Lost in the sauce: Outstanding Performances vs KC

[Buffalo_Stampede]

James Cook was outstanding. I called him a replaceable RB and wanted to see him in the playoffs.

 

Well he proved me wrong. He’s a special talent.

 

Another one, Mack Hollins. Just making me look dumb. He’s such a valuable player to this team. Watch his block on Cooks first TD vs Chiefs. He makes the whole thing happen. He can do that and beat all pro Trent McDuffie deep? Flowers to you sir!

We have some good pieces going forward, we need some quality in FA and the draft,🤞

 

GO BILLS!!!

Great Post OP. Well done and I agree 100% with you.

 

I'll add my props for the season: Ty Johnson. Always came to play and made some fantastic plays for us.

[Charles Romes]

I am not sure we’ve ever had a FA that’s exceeded expectations more than Hollins.

Joe Marino said Dorian Williams made two incredible hustle plays.  One was the punt return.  Dorian missed tackling the returner, and fell down.  Dorian got on his feet and saved a TD running 40+ yards dowmfield.  We need to get Dorian Williams more reps!

[Mr. WEO]

Cook has been touted everywhere on media as a stud this year: 2nd 1000 yards season in a row, 16 rushing TDs and 2 TD catches.  I don't understand how it can be posted that a lot of posters here wanted him traded "all season".

 

 

Bass didn't screw up.

 

For my money, that 2022 team was batter all around.  2nd in points, 2nd in yards and points per drive2nd in points allowed, 7th in passing, 7th in rushing.  

 

13 seconds of stroke protocol for McD was the difference.  Bills would have killed that Eagles team.

If you are sincere, I agree.

And good of you to post this up.

Speaking of pleasant surprises all season have been Ty Johnson and Davis.

PS I want to keep that Oline together for few years perhap 😉

Interesting perspective. I’m inclined to agree. Bryce Paup or Ted come to mind. But that was a long time ago.

Mount Washington is who this team needs

He’s up and down.  He made some big plays but also has been blown off the ball badly in the run game.  If you re-sign him, I think he has to be your last DT.  

his game is basically guessing the snap and getting a massive jump if he's right, an Offside penalty if he isn't. His sack at the end of that game was a microcosm of his entire career, very high vol. Glad it worked out on that play! Wish it ultimately made a difference 😭

Hollins has been the pleasant surprise this season.  Like many, I was thinking WT H are they keeping him for. And then he made plays. And really good run blocking. And that attitude. He really got better as the year went on. His two catches vs KC were clutch and big ones! Unless he asks too much, sign the man!

Right he can get after the QB, but unfortunately he can be pretty lousy against the run.  Maybe it’s because they are playing him out of position but over the past few seasons he’s been on the field when the defense has gotten gashed.  That’s why you can’t depend on him much especially as a veteran player

Weird when you think about…

 

• the guy a lot wanted/willing to trade in Cook
• the guy a lot were laughing at before the season and not for his comedic antics
• the guy plenty wanted cut throughout and prior to the season

 

 

all put on some of the best games of their seasons the other night. 
 

Huge let down for Jimbo. What a dog he was. 

 

There's a long list of players that posters wanted to run out of town starting with Brown, Knox, and Bass.  Folks wanted to cut Bass by October of his rookie year, then by year 2 loved him everyone said great pick, this year back to getting rid of him.

 

What's it all mean, basically that posters here are all clueless and overly emotional.

Extending Cook should be Bean's #1 off season priority.

 

 

Yes, especially since Barkley and King Henry showed that RB's are still important to good teams.

Something I've been wondering is if the Bills let Bernard go in free agency could Dorian man the middle? Deep thoughts, thinking ahead, by the Bandit😆

Yes, we really need to hit on them too with the picks being so late in each round.

As long as RB's like Henry and Barkley are in the league, going to need LB's with some heft.

There were about 3 penalties on the Chiefs that play, but who cares, right?
