Boy, with Johnson and MIlano out, we are going to have a really hard time taking away Tua's 1st read, which....is usually the key to slowing down the rhythm style offense they run. We gonna have to outscore them.

I think you can make a case that 2nd & 1 should be a prime play-action down to take a shot.To build on the early play calling, here is what things looked like:
1 & 10 - Cook run for 9
2 & 1 - Cook run for 3
1 & 10 - Pass to Hollins for 14
1 & 10 - Pass play, sack, lost fumble
3/4 plays called were successful and the one that wasn't was a pass play that Samuel was open and Josh turned it down.
1 & 10 - Pass to Coleman - DPI
1 & 10 - Cook run for 15
1 & 10 - Cook run for 5
2 & 5 - Pass to Knox for 21
1 & 10 - Cook run for 9
2 & 1 - Cook run for 4
1 & Goal (8) - Cook run for 4
2 & Goal (4) - Cook run for 0
3 & Goal (4) - Allen rushing TD nullified Torrence personal foul (facemask)
3 & Goal (19)- Allen sacked for 0 yards lost
About the only play call you can really complain about is the Cook run on 2 & Goal from the 4.

Preparing PHASE TWO!
Yeah, but at this point everyone knows that. Defenses are looking out for it too and you certainly don't want to turn the ball over or take a sack there.

I don't like to pick Bill's games, but when taking ALL emotion out of it I would take Miami at home. Your call in the end though
Yeah, this feels like the regular season championship that they hang their hat on and then end up imploding around Week 10 when the weather turns. Miami is like clockwork.
Shame McDermott can't find a way to win those one-score games like all the other head coaches. [/sarcasm]

A good friend of mine did this as well and got (deservedly) roasted for it. I'll never understand it.
Games have ups and downs, the first half counts just the same as the second half and isn't necessarily predictive. Gotta stay in the foxhole with the squad, that's the only way for magic to happen.
I don't think we need to pump the breaks.
Rousseau was a projected top 10 pick before the bizarre covid year. He was always an incredible blend of production and projection. His physical package is almost unprecedented. He's had massive moments for us as well as long stretches of consistent play.
Year 4 breakout is absolutely expected.

I know that the Hill thing is a thing. I know that the video has been released........and I know that this is the quasi-NFL thread as well as the Bills thread.
BUT
I don't think there's a way to avoid all the issues around what happened, so let's just not discuss it at all here.

......McBabich better be ready to play a more traditional 4-3 when we play the Jets. If we do our usual 4-2 with a nickel CB acting as a LB, the Jets are going to run all over us......literally.

Thanks I just saw it on the ingame ticker and didn't hear any follow-up due to time difference

I had a page on FB where I was watching games but it looks like they may have put an end to that too....My only worry about going to some streaming site is getting phished or some bad malware or something.

Rodgers’ arm is still relatively live, but he can’t move for shit. I’m not super worried about their offense with his hand-picked dunce Hackett still calling run-run-pass on almost every possession

I do it for my own health really I guess. I have anxiety issues which compound on other health stuff I have so I try not to get myself worked up if I can. Back when I was a teenager I would've watched the whole game.

I wasn't too worried about Rodgers. Still think he'll improve, but he's not going to be an elite QB. I figured he'd be anywhere from 10-20. The good news is, and this is me just stat watching since I didn't watch the game, is the Jets defense got worked, and their run defense once again appears to be ass. Brady should be able to take advantage of that.

Cam Lewis stepping up when Taron Johnson went down was huge.
And the really interesting note is that although Kyler Murray are usually been very good when you blitz him, the Bills saw more success on defense when Babich starting bringing extra rushers in the second half.
That is a good adjustment by a guy calling his first game.

Thursday games mess with my mind. The game is in 2 days. Like how?

I can understand not wanting to do that early, especially when most people would have been expecting it.
Brady does need to be a little bit better at breaking trends. Some of the challenges in the second half may have been with him being too predictable.
And given how everyone wants them to take a deep shot on 2nd and short, that is a trend worth breaking, IMO.
As long as he stays healthy, he's going to put up numbers this year.
This isn't a one game thing. He was playing well in camp vs Dawkins & Brown and he tore up the Steelers former 1st round OT in the preseason.
I don't think Tua is ready for Rousseau. I really wish Bills would use press coverage to disrupt Tua's timing.

Don't sleep on me
It's definitely going to be more of a challenge this week for our boundary corners and if the dullphins can get the inside run game going, we need our big boys in the middle to hold up and linebackers not biting on PA.
