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

[SabresFan26]

Bye week will be big for Brady

 

[SwordsgoneWild]

This has been a much needed ass kicking. If we can build off this and bring our A game vs Philly then I'll be content.

 

[SwordsgoneWild]

Douglas with another pick!
Amazing trade

 

[Ace]

The Rasul Douglas game

 

[Dubi Doo]

Douglas was a crazy good pick up. The fact he's signed through next year is the cherry on top.

Good win. They needed a game like this in the worst way.

 

[Ace]

New coordinator comes in and Allen gets benched

 

[NotABadPeriod]

Williams tackled his own guy, looks like Douglas got the wind knocked out a bit.

 

[SabresFan26]

take out all starters! Dudes are dropping like flies.

 

[oldgoalie]

Pretty good game by your Buffalo Bills

 

[Ace]

Sean McDermott is a much better coach when the offense scores in the 30s

 

[NotABadPeriod]

So...uhh...Ty Johnson came out of nowhere to have an impact this game.

Which is exactly why you never pay for RBs.

 

[SwordsgoneWild]

Great game. Everyone was solid to great. Allen with a good game but I bet some idiots out there only reaction will be that he threw another pick. Even if it was the most meaningless inconsequential interception ever.

 

[tsujimoto74]

So glad to see this team showing signs of life again. They looked how they should today. Finally.

 

[Ace]

Diggs had 27 yards. Davis his completely expected 0. Allen took everything else and beat a top D going away.

Douglas with another pick!
Amazing trade

Give Terrance Gray credit for that one (Bill's Pro personnel).

take out all starters! Dudes are dropping like flies.

there were no backups left in the secondary : )

 

[SwordsgoneWild]

Diggs had 27 yards. Davis his completely expected 0. Allen took everything else and beat a top D going away.

Thankfully Shakir picked up with 2 huge plays and Kincaid was great when we were still throwing but my favorite outside of them and Allen would be Cook. Hopefully Brady continues to rely on him and stays with it.

Gabe is dead to me. I don't even factor him into the offense anymore. Useless.

vs his former team too which I'm sure was extra motivation

 

[Mike McDermott]

I didn’t see a lot of the game but putting up 32 against a strong defense whom on average gave up 19 a game in the first game, on a short week, for a new coordinator is a step in the right direction.

 

[DolanPlsGoSabres]

At a conference so could only follow updates but......

holy **** we actually used our pass-catching backs effectively in the passing game!??????

Bye week will be big for Brady

It looked to me he has about 50% of his offense installed which was enough.

Philly scares the hell out of me. Get to the bye 6-6, then go 4-1. If you get to Miami still one game behind and win, I believe you win the division on head to head ?

G:
Both lines played pretty good imo
Running game was on
Josh limited the mistakes
Shakir, Kincaid
Special Teams got it together (then got burned on the fake punt), Martin had his best punt in a month (to the 6)
Rasul Douglas looks great
Taking the home team and under got some extra xmas green

B:
Your #2 receiver continues to be invisible (2 catches in the last 3 games)
Von has one pressure since coming back
A few undisciplined penalties
Bill's need to sign CB/S this week

U:
Wilson (3.7 qpr)
It's Thanksgiving in 4 days ? wtf

So glad to see my man Shakir play well. Keep getting him the ball!!

So, a few thoughts:

1) The Jets are a team in crisis. So it's hard to pump the tires of the defense too much. But...they did their job tonight. Other than the play at the end of the 1st half, they got nothing going.
2) Josh played a pretty much low risk game tonight. Other than the time they told him "Go out and throw a dumb hero ball" at the end of the 1st, the riskiest throw he made as that ball to Shakir which was an 81 yard TD. They ran the ball well. They didn't force the ball to Diggs. he took the easy throws.
3) Overall, we are in week to week mode. Our most important game is next weeks game.

I think, realistically, we have 2 losses left if we want to make the playoffs.

A few positive thoughts:

- Philadelphia will be on a short week and thanksgiving at home. I am hoping they win big vs KC and come unprepared.
- We have a bye week before KC as well, hoping we will get some more bodies.

Overall, I think the most optimistic is:

You split Philly/KC. That puts you at 7-6

Then you have Dallas, @ LAC, NE, and @ Miami. You want to go 3-1.

At 10-7, that SHOULD be a wild card team.

If you go 4-0, that is an outside chance at the division.

IF we can make the playoffs, we will be playing our best ball as the season ends. I mean, you can kind of see a confluence of events that could be happening. We are getting the secondary receivers going. Shakir and Kincaid have been getting more targets. You can get Davis going. Diggs will always eat coverage. And Knox is returning soon. And there's Von Miller who is still essentially rehabbing. Jones comes back. Maybe Milano returns for the playoffs.

That doesn't mean anything if we don't start stringing together wins though. Start winning. Don't stop winning. Just win. Doesn't matter how, win.

And we played hesitant on offense w d clutching etc. Allen learning to trust what he sees. They played within themselves aD , Douglas, Skakir and Kincaid helped out immensely. Good pressure w lines and McD staying aggressive

 

[SabresFan26]

I like Joe Brady’s energy a lot more. Was never a fan of Dorsey’s interviews.

Good game overall and first game called by Brady.

Still not optimistic about playoffs because they won a game they should’ve. Dorsey should’ve been sent packing a while ago.

We lost too many games to bad teams (Jets, Patriots, Broncos)

I think we finish at 8 or 9 wins which will just be short with the way we stack up with tie breakers.
