I was hoping to see you. Always great to have your analysis during Bills week. What a game for you to take firm control of the division. Only 7 games in and you have a chance to pull away from the Pats at least. Not sure about the Fins. We will see how Tua does.I wouldn't say doomed. September was a great month, but October has been dreadful - until the 2nd half vs the Jets. I know, it's the Jets, but something happened and the September Bills almost showed up again. They didn't score a TD although they had 2 called back and one catch that was an easy one, the TE tripped over the white paint in the grass.
The biggest disappointment in Buffalo this year is the Defense. The GM is on the hook right now, having let 2 big pieces go in Jordan Phillips and "Sack" Lawson. Ed Oliver looks terrible. Edmunds has been hampered by an injury and Tre White got his big contract and is laying back. The secondary has not been as opportunistic as in recent years. - until the 2nd half vs The Jets. The belief among the fans is that Coach McD took over play-calling from Leslie Frazier. The same thing happened 2 years ago. The D looked anemic, McD took over play-calling and they came back to life. So, which Defense shows up is the key to the game.
John Brown has been hurt, though he practiced today. Josh Norman did not. Nor did Jerry Hughes, this week's DPOTW. I doubt there's any concern of Hughes missing the game. If I were Daboll, I'd sit Josh Allen down and replay the Dallas game from last year, where he came alive on National TV.
The other missing factor - no 12th man. No Bills Mafia in the stands.
Should be an interesting game.
I was wondering what happened to the D so thanks for the insights. I am sure you are aware of our woes starting at QB and then our skill positions. We can run pretty good which will be good for this game given the crazy winds.
How is your rushing attack going? I know Allen has been having a pretty great year despite the losses to the Titans and Chiefs. How do you feel about him?
