Buffalo Bills Week 12: Buffalo (9-2), Bye Week

[Chainshot]

The only downside to the win yesterday is that the '72 Dolphins were popping bottles last night thanks to the Bills W.

I walked into a place last night and there was a Dolphin fan rooting for the Bills. I was... surprised.

That's what happens when a team has TOO much success (IE, Kansas City) -- the fanbases of former bitter rivals tend to root for each other. Hell, I was rooting for both Miami and the Jets to whoop up on the Patriots sometimes.

The 2022 Draft is probably the key for our current success

After "missing" on Elam:

Cook, Benard, Shakir, Benford

That's 4 starters after the 1st round. Likely 4 pro bowlers at some point

Wish Beane took Christian Watson instead of trading up for Elam.

Wanted McDuffie but the KC bitches took him first.

McDuffie/Benford would of been something that's for sure!

I was at a Bills bar when Miami came out with the wild cat and blew the patriots out. Lots of cheers then.

Way late to the party with the Captain Obvious comment, but Allen's TD run was absolutely sublime.

Watch the bottom left corner, Hollins pointing to the end zone nearly as soon as Josh takes off!

I'll guess that Milano won't be back just yet but I think we'll see the rest of that group which will be a great boost against a good but beatable 49ers squad

I wonder if they can keep Kromer around a few more years ?

There depth looks good moving forward as well in Anderson, Van Demark, Van Pran-Granger, Grable.

I wonder if they move McGovern back to guard and VPG to center next year or the year after ?

I thought I’d enjoy the bye week off to not worry about the Bills but now I’m in playoff seeding mania mode and wish they were back at it

 

[start winnin]

Allen is him

Love this. I wanted someone who knows the O-Line to show just how great they were playing.

Run blocking left a lot to be desired, but that's pretty much the case with every O-line going up against KC.

But the pass blocking was superb. Allen had tons of time to work the ball downfield.

With the entire OL under contract next year, I doubt they make any changes unless a starting caliber player falls into their laps in the draft and they just can't pass ihm up, like what happened with torrence.

KC's run defense is orders of magnitude better than Dallas'. If we run 49 times against KC, we're not sniffing 200 yards.

I don’t expect anything to change for next season. However, I’ve long advocated for Beane to take some higher end linemen in the draft to develop, not just the late round swings.

The 2025 draft might be among the deepest for OL talent I’ve seen in a while. I’d take a few linemen rounds 2-4 and sit them a year (or two). Sort of what Philly does.
