I love that Buffalo is a 2.5 dog to a team that got beat by the raiders.

Not saying the bills couldn’t lose the game, but I’d like to understand the formula of how the Ravens are the favorite…
Because betting lines are strictly to entice people to bet. That will swing throughout the week as people bet so the house will still come out ahead. In New York alone over 2 Billion was lost on sports betting alone last year.

Enjoy Joe Brady and his offense now because if the Bills finish something like 13-4 and the offense continues to cook he's gonna be a head coach somewhere next year. That should bode well for the Bills though because it should attract other young and bright offensive minds to coach here.

Hopefully Daboll's struggles with the Giants cool teams on the idea of Brady as a head coach. Daboll & Brady are just products of getting to work with Josh Allen at QB.

And Bobby Babich is just a product of McD. So, there is no reason any team should consider him for a head coach opening either.

The “M-V-P!” chants inside Highmark Stadium began with 3:25 still left in the first quarter.

Though excitedly premature, Buffalo Bills fans weren’t wrong.

They simply couldn’t know Josh Allen was merely beginning his onslaught Monday night. By halftime, he’d already had one of the greatest statistical games of his career. But what was truly remarkable was how Allen went about his nasty business in a 47-10 victory over the Jacksonville Jaguars.

We spent months analyzing and guessing and kvetching about how Allen would perform without Stefon Diggs and Gabriel Davis anymore. Diggs and his brother, Dallas Cowboys cornerback Trevon Diggs, insinuated on social media it was the receiver who made the quarterback, not vice versa.

So whom would Allen throw to?

Whomever he damn well pleases, apparently.
And Josh is ready for Baltimore already:

“We got a short week, and we’re going into a hostile environment with the Ravens and two-time MVP Lamar Jackson,” Allen said. “We’re going to turn this real quick and start focusing on them real quick.”

We should pay Joe Brady and keep him and maybe make him next in line. We don’t want to have to overhaul everything again and again regardless of who we have. McDermotts strength is the other side of the ball and we need to keep him.

If he leaves, we should try and keep the same playbook and hire within.

Home team us given 3 in thr line to start.

So bills have a slight edge without factoring in home field.

Those two options are not reasonable outcomes.

McD isn't an old head coach. There is no way they are likely to keep Brady or Babich by promising them the head coach job when McD leaves.

And no OC will just keep things the same as their predecessor. The league evolves and different OCs are not just going to want to approach things their own way, in-game play calling is even more important and you cannot replicate what Brady is doing with anyone else.

The doghouse
With Brady you just gotta pitch the idea of developing him into a better coach for the next 3 or 4 years while trying to win a SB and for him to leave for an ideal HC opening. He just turned 35 years old, there’s no rush for him.

But if he wants to jump ship immediately, nothing you can do about it.

Luckily there's Sloak and Johnson presumably ahead of him in line for the best jobs looking for offensive genius archetypes.

Josh Allen is the first QB in NFL history to...complete 75% of his passes, throw for 4+ TDs, have no turnovers, take no sacks, lead his team in rushing yards...all in the same game -Optastats
Im starting to sense a trend here with all these 'Josh Allen is the first QB ever...'.

Dude's on a highway to the HoF. Get this man a ring. Dammit!

Amazing game to go to. Maybe the most fun Ive ever had. Allen was unstoppable. The defense is HUNGRY. The fans were LIT. And we all sang Mr Brightside in harmony; one of my favorite songs ever.

So glad to see Brady take advantage of the Jags weakness, and pretty much say 'Alright Josh, their pass defense is iffy. Go do your thing!'. Seriously, keep playing to the opposing defenses weaknesses, heal up on D, add a Douglas like addition at the TDL, and go on a freakin' heat in Jan.

In 10 regular season games since Joe Brady took over as the OC, the Bills are 9-1 and Josh Allen has 27 total TDs and 9 total TOs for a 3.00 TD/TO ratio.

Under Dorsey, Allen's TD/TO ratio was 2.06 in the regular season.
Seems like Allen is only getting better in this offense, too. This season could be bananas, and next offseason we have a boatload of cap space and picks. We're setup so damn well.

You all
Get ahead of yourselves.
Humble , hungry young team
Won when they made three teams beat themselves.
Do that to Baltimore, contain vick light and Henry to no touch And then smack the texans whi we match up very well aside from mixin.
One practice at a time We need ten guys plus to step up and be starters and or rotational to step
Up as more film comes out.

I think they can but it will take focus building without time for any self congratulation until the bye . Great start though. Beautiful. Josh has truly come into his own if he can maintain.
