Buffalo Bills Onto Week 3 at Miami

[Mike McDermott]

I missed this during the game yesterday. Certainly is better than the people who start forest fires or other dump shit with gender reveals. I’m sure it’s a moment his sister will remember forever and something cool for the kid when they get older.

 

[Dirty Dog]

Its the completion percentage that puts it over the top. Lamar and Mahomes are the only guys that could possibly do that right now

Lamar hitting that completion rating with that many yards? Maybbbeeeeee

 

[Selanne00008]

Whats the deal with Oliver? ANy update? He looked solid up until he was hurt.

Honestly, who is he taking reps from on the outside if he came here? He can play the slot, but he is most effective outside. We don’t need him, we have more weapons than we know what to do with.

Lamar has actually been a super effective and efficient passer throughout his career. But I generally agree he’s not on Allen’s bad Mahomes level.

I'm disappointed in Bass (sarcasm). Apparently Sal C caught his kick that went out of bounds. And he said he was standing around the 25 yard line?? How is that possible? Total SHANK!

The kicks were crazy. He was able to sky it, get it around the 1 and the coverage caught them deep alot.

Oline hasn’t got enough credit either. Donald was complete non-factor.

Bills DT Ed Oliver says he expects to be OK after exiting opener with ankle injury

A first-round pick in the 2019 NFL Draft (ninth overall), Oliver is a key part of the defensive line for a Bills team that was the pre-season favourite to win the Super Bowl.

I had no idea that Christian Benford beat out Elam for that CB spot. Benford looks really really solid and didn't look out of place at all. Crazy for a 6th round pick.

I don't think he beat him out. If I recall Benford played a lot of zone at Villanova to where Elam plays press man. There is a much bigger learning curve there. That is not to take away from Benford as he has earned it as well

 

[SundherDome]

So... Just brushing up on draft picks no longer with the team. Seems like the Colts took Luke Tenuta and Jack Anderson is with NYG. Any other guys from the last two drafts gone? Is Stephenson still around?

Wildgoose is on the Commanders now

One thing not getting talked about a lot but Epenesa had a stellar game. He held the edge on run plays and had 1.5 sacks. If he can evolve to that next level, that would be incredibly huge

Everyone on the D-Line has some standout plays last night. It was ridiculous.

Singletary needs to be utilized more. When your back is averaging 6 yards a carry, he should get more than 2 carries a quarter.

Moss’s stat line wasn’t great but he looked much better than last season.

I Agree. It’s more of man vs zone and who is used to it.

ihave no idea— could the def cord at his college bern a former player under a zone scheme used in buffalo? He uses it at his college. It’s close enough to buffalo that it was easier for him.

Do the math…

RB, 3 WRs,TE andAllen all want the ball. Over an 8-10 play drive that limits it to 1-2 touches per drive.

if they are doing longer drives with 10 plays you are likely only going to have the ball 7-8 times

Six yards per carry is still 3 and a half yards less than they averaged per pass attempt. Not completion…attempt.

He looked like he was going to breakout at the beginning of last year and just disappeared. If him and Boogie can take that next step it will be awesome!

 

[whiplash]

Yes but since you can't throw every down, it begs the question why is Moss getting 6 carries that should go to Motor? And I think only one of them was on a short down.

Second to that, Singletary always seems to do better with an increased workload. When he has the flow of the offense down, he's a great gap hitter and safety valve for Allen. Moss is just...Moss. Sometimes he breaks the tackles he runs in to, mostly he doesn't. I'm fine with a change of pace back or when you need a screen thrown to a bowling ball, but 12 touches for Moss is 7 too many when his compliment is producing at an appreciably higher rate

 

[Husko]

I mean, this is just football in general. Passing is always more efficient and why in general all teams throw pass more.

I don't think he beat him out. If I recall Benford played a lot of zone at Villanova to where Elam plays press man. There is a much bigger learning curve there. That is not to take away from Benford as he has earned it as well

They split the snaps almost evenly. Benford got the edge, but I'd say they're basically 2A/2B for now.

Who cares about ‘Who Wants The Ball’. I’ve been a Bills fan since ‘89. I don’t care about “stats”. Just Wins.

Allen, and the entire offense distributed the ball everywhere tonight, unlike LA/Staff who kept looking for Kupp every drop down. I LOVE our diversity.

My issue is, if your lead back is averaging 6 yards a carry, do everyone on the offense a favor and give him more than 2 carries a quarter. That’s all.

I’m not suggesting we feed him 20-25+ carries a game. I’m just saying, 8 is pathetic when your RB2 had 6 carries for 15 yards.

You’re not going to establish a legit run game when your leading back is averaging 6 yards a f***ing carry but limited to a measly 8 carries a game.

No, I'm referring to him Tweeting after that that we aren't the team who will make it out of the AFC...

Using that arguement - Tom Brady is also in a body that will prevent greatness.... Oh wait...

Not every QB can have the physical makeup of a Josh Allen. You need to understand that he's a complete freak & there aren't 32 of him available. Likewise there are different ways of winning - you can setup your offence to work with your QBs strengths - which Miami look to be doing with adding a bunch of shifty receivers & shifty backs.

I just wholeheartedly disagree here but I entirely understand the point you're making.

I think it was excellent of New York to invest in Wilson. He has a high ceiling from arm strength and playmaking perspectives. He's going to have another rough year when he comes back but I think you take the guy who CAN do it, rather than trying to build a system around someone.

Systems change all the time. If a team allows their guy to build through it because he has those qualities (ie GB in the Rodgers years) it pays off.

Tua doesn't have it.

 

[buffalowing88]

When did he shit on Buffalo?

Am I crazy or did he not Tweet out that the Rams lost to a team who wouldn't make it out of the AFC for the Super Bowl like...minutes later.

Stop protecting OBJ. He's a cancer. Baker was a broken QB in Cleveland but OBJ let his daddy do a lot of the talking to tank an otherwise decent team. He would do it again in a heartbeat. I want him nowhere near this team and I think it's frankly a bit odd that Von has such a crush on him.

I agree but you do realize we were trying to showcase Moss for a trade, correct? He's on the trading block. We just underestimated how shitty he could be, even when showcasing him.

Singletary will get 12-15 carries a game moving forward, I assume, and Cook will get right back in the lineup. You simply have to staple a rookie to the bench for a costly fumble and it wasn't like they needed him then. They'll need him next week and he'll play. And hopefully we can salvage a 7th rounder for Moss by then.

 

[buffalowing88]

If Von Miller is on this team after the three-year poison pill runs out, I'll eat a...Von Miller jersey. He's so awesome but the guy already seems to have his eyes on something different than McBeane culture.

Can you imagine how irritating it is for a guy like Crowder or McKenzie to have the new FA pickup slobber over a washed vet because he has a big name? Josh seemed annoyed in the press conference and Diggs literally wouldn't answer about it.

He’s had 15+ carries 16 times in 46 games. Again, I’m ok being a pass heavy offense. But when your lead back is getting 6 yards a carry, feed him the ball more than twice a quarter. That’s all I’m saying. I don’t understand why this rational is ludacris.

And Moss? You’re not getting more than a late pick for him. He’s a dime a dozen player.
