Buffalo Bills Season's End: The Off-Seasons Starts Now

[Waterfowlist]

That line gave up the MOST sacks in the league and was missing there LT, no excuse for no pressure, then you spy Tyrod

They got 3 sacks… and got plenty of pressure. Tyrod also beat it often.

Josh has dark circles around his eyes ?

Tyrod is better at avoiding sacks than Daniel. That's for damn sure. He knows when to get rid of the ball.

I've been really impressed with Dorian Williams. He had an almost impossible job of replacing Milano and has handled himself well.

Also, I've been hoping Elam would find his game, but he's been downright bad.

The flow of this game reminded me of this Hell's Kitchen Episode

 

[NotABadPeriod]

On the bright side, the offense scored 14 points on their two real drives in the second half.

They made an adjustment and it worked. Had the game gone on longer, and the last drive wasn't simply trying to run out the clock, this would have turned into the score line we expected. They just have to not put themselves in a hole first.

Kiiar Elam is a major problem against good teams. They need Dane Jackson bad.

I also wonder how big the void from Kincaid was today. Even though he hasn’t had a lot of catches, teams know he is a threat and have to pay attention to him. But maybe I’m reaching for a reason.

On positive, Allen has learned when to run and when to pass. And the answer is almost always pass.

Two big ones:

- The injuries on D have absolutely fundamentally changed the defense. The d-line isn't dominant, the corners are a weakness, and my god we miss Matt Milano.

The cap space is limited and the time is short. I think BBB has to pick and address at least one. Corner is probably easiest. I think D-tackle the depth is there to at least maintain. Probably at least some time to see if there is a good coverage LB available. Don't need a star there, but someone to play in obvious passing situations would be nice.

I'm not sure he can use any cap space to shore up CB/coverage LB. We can't go into games with just 2 RBs......there's a pretty good chance he's going to have to sign one, so that'll eat into whatever space there is available.

I think we've just gotta go with what we've got.

We should have both those guys back for next week against the Patriots.

Williams did indeed impress me tonight. He looked solid.

Elam I thought was OK outside of two plays. He made a couple of sure tackles at the end.

Woah I almost lost 20 bucks on a game I thought it was done as swanson dinner.

 

[truthbluth]

One of the worst wins I’ve been at in the Allen era.

Considering they tried to give the fourth ny game away from buffalo sports. Sabres twice and that jet bs this had to come down to a pi call against . F u ny city

After the awful first possession the Bills were by far the beneficiary of some outright bad officiating...

I thought the entire team did well against the ghost of dickn past. Daboll and tyrod certainly know us and this was their redemption this year. Be kind to the bills. They won a tough family game against a motivated team . Next .

Hot take: Elam isn't great, but there's some plays where he's looking bad but it's actually the safety to his side getting exposed. Those deep shots when he's in press coverage aren't on him.

The sad reality is Hyde and Poyer have both lost a step and it's an exploitable part of the defense.

Actually just for show

Zebras primed the giant belief pump early, then acted all virtue like til 1st pi call

Actually just for show

The Bills are fortunate they didn't get another hold/PI on the last play. If there was some great conspiracy to gift games to the NY teams it would have been an easy and justifiable call to make.

Elam will stopptrying to get away w college or he'll sit. Safeties are just biding their time and bodies

 

[StlSwedes]

We all would have loved more splash plays from the defense but Tyrod plus the Giants game plan wasn't going to give us those and the Bills offensive woes created a game script that kept the defense from being able to pin their ears back.

The defense ultimately held the Giants to 9 points, had a bunch of success defending the red zone, and won us a game where we lost the turnover battle. Kudos to the defense.

Generally speaking when it's thrown immediately (like it was on both Slayton balls) it means the CB missed their jam at the line. No safety's getting over in that scenario unless they're pre-shaded to that side, such I don't think the Bills were doing tonight.

I do think poyer's lost a step, tbh, but I think Hyde's been quite good.

Bs they called alot on us, at key times. The first pi should've happened. Id foul them every play like the rest of bs entertainment league

 

[Push Dr Tracksuit]

This game would have not been even close with Jones. Daboll/Scheon have a tough decision to make.

Play Tyrod and be a mediocre team. Or play Jones and draft Caleb Williams.

Just a weird sentiment. They put up 9 points.

 

[misterchainsaw]

Just a weird sentiment. They put up 9 points.

I'm guessing the argument would be they didn't score any TD's in the last two games under Jones either, and he makes significantly more mistakes.

At least the Giants looked like they could score?
