Posting this for all the Darnold haters. Bills D probably borderline elite right now. Made Brady look dare I say pedestrian. Sam’s the future. As a fanbase we need to be patient. He will become pretty good if we develop him properly.
The Bills defense is really good. No one has ever disputed that. As good as they are, Darnold missed plenty of throws that game and could of been better. Mono could of affected him and he would be the first to tell you he missed some throws he wish he could of had back. We all said the same things about Sanchez so time will tell. I hope you’ll come back here when the Pats are fully healthy and destroy Buff in NE and tell us how pedestrian he is.

They rattled him today and it showed. Do you honestly think the Bills will use the same D schemes they did today? They will have a whole set of 4 to 6 different pkgs just for NE. Like they did today. Next time they play it will be the same type of game cause the Bills D is a lot better than Patsies Offense. That was definitely proven today. But you keep being a Brady homer.... God knows there’s a lot of bandwagon fans in that organization
Douglas was brought here to specifically eyeball the OL talent and develop that around him. Personally, I think ownership is basically saying no reason to play Darnold right now. He'll get killed the way Allen did yesterday trying to make plays all over the field.
The Bills will get smacked 28-10 next meeting. It’ll take the Bills a few more years to only lose by 6 again.
It's incredible that the early Rex days almost 10 years ago were the last time an AFC East team posted any threat to the Pats.
There is some truth to your statement, but before declaring the Bills defense elite, I hope you all realize the Pats OLine is pretty beat up. Gronk and now AB are both gone. Endlemen was playing with busted ribs. Their fullback Devlin who is an unbelievable blocker is out on IR. The fact that the Jets defense did not capitalize as much as the Bills did is disappointing. Brady was pretty depressed on the radio today. I think he realizes his weapons are scarce and his OLine at this time is not so good. If there is one lesson to be learned from the Patriots Bills game, it is that running QBs don't last in the NFL. Maybe the Patriots knocked some sense into Josh Allen with that hit. Look at Cam Newton. If a big dude like him can't last, who can? Sometimes the worst injury a QB suffers is when they decide to run. Look what happened to Bledsoe with Lewis? Many years ago the Patriots had a QB named Grogan who could run. However his running led to his demise. So somebody needs to tell Sam if he decides to run don't forget to slide.
who the fuck is Endleman? and fuck the patriots and your excuses... they did Josh Allen "a favor" with their cheap shot to his head? WTF?? -- Brady looked like shit against that D. maybe Buffalo's defense is good. or maybe Father Time is catching up to Brady. that would be a shame...
I meant Edelman and you know what the fuck I meant. That was not a cheap shot. Did it deserve a flag based on the rules, yes? When a QB decides to run, he is treated as a Running Back by the rules. Allen was going for a first down and put his head down. That, by the way, should also be a penalty also. However, you never see it call, thank God. When a runner puts his head down and tries to plow you over, what is the defender suppose to do? Get out of the way? Josh Allen is a big dude, but he needs to realize running QBs don't last in the NFL. Their success is short-lived just like running backs. A smart running type QB simply slides when contact is about to occur. If the Bills had a QB that was not stupid and tried not to be a hero, they should have won that game. Having a weak offensive line is not an excuse but a reality. Being a Jet fan you should know that by now. No matter how good a QB is, no offensive line = no success! The Patriots offense like many offenses is dictated by a good running game that opens up the passing game. The success the Patriots have had like many other good offenses is a good OL. To beat Brady you need to beat the Patriots offensive line. This fact is true for any star QB. Could you not see the Bill's DL outperforming Pat's OL? Please stop with the fuck the Patriots, they are not the reason why the Jets suck right now. The Jets offensive line sucks, simply put. I have argued this point for the last several years, but dreamers on this forum think a QB (Darnold) and a star running back (Bell) are the answers to solve the pathetic offensive problem. Next, we will hear how signing a WR like AB will make them great. Look at the Cowboys Dak Prescot who had the highest QB rating going into the Saints game. The Saint's defense manhandled the Cowboys offensive line. Dak Prescott didn't look so good all of a sudden.
Jets had this QB named Chad Pennington - he literally destroyed his throwing shoulder while running against *Gulp!* the Bills. In his early career he had a very tight spiral and nice zip. Maybe not the strongest arm in the NFL, but strong enough to get the job done most of the time. After the rotator cuff injury, he was never the same. Out of all the recent Jet QBs, his shoulder injury stung the most - for me at least. P.S. I really didn't see any sense in flagging Jonathan Jones for the hit. If I had to point out a few things: 1. Jones DID NOT LAUNCH HIMSELF INTO ALLEN. He lowered his head, and stuck out his tackling shoulder, but he was standing still in his place. If Allen didn't lower his head, it would have been just a solid tackle. That falls on Allen, not Jones. [If that slight lunge constitutes as "launching into the QB" they must not have watched how LBs used to spear QBs back in the 90's. Like how Aikman was speared in his back for instance.] 2. The moment QB starts running beyond the LoS, he is the runner. Flagging Jones for [hitting defenseless player] is a complete bullshit.
Its a 15 yard penalty now, because of that fruitcake Tom Brady, if a defender accidentally rolls up into the legs of a QB as he's throwing it. it was an unnecessary helmet to helmet hit on Allen. Do you want a league with different rules for different teams/players or not? Of course that should be a penalty
If I remember correctly it was called a penalty but there was also a penalty on the Bills which meant it was offsetting.
It was absolutely a cheap shot by Jones. He should be suspended for that hit. Allen had incidental helmet contact with the initial tackler and Jones came in while Allen was going down and put his helmet right on Allen's helmet when he was going down. The idea that Allen put his head down to initiate contact with Jones is complete BS. His head was down because he was being dragged down by a tackler. It was an unnecessary viscous hit to the head. That's exactly what the NFL is trying to outlaw. Jones went in to spear him not tackle him. He lead with his head and initiated head to head contact. You make it sound like Allen put his head down to initiate contact. Watch the tape. His head was down because he was being dragged down. A hit like that on a running back should be an automatic suspension for the game and after review if there was intent an automatic multi game suspension. The defender is never supposed to lead with his head to make a tackle.
Brady won’t do a thing against this Bills D. They rattled him today and it showed. Do you honestly think the Bills will use the same D schemes they did today? They will have a whole set of 4 to 6 different pkgs just for NE. Like they did today. Next time they play it will be the same type of game cause the Bills D is a lot better than Patsies Offense. That was definitely proven today. But you keep being a Brady homer.... God knows there’s a lot of bandwagon fans in that organization[/QUOTE] Brady always has a stinker early in the season. Bills did a nice job and have a very good D. But do you really think BB plans anything special for the Bills, especially in week 4? Enjoy your coming close pendant for now. The Pats will run them off the field in NE later this year.
Anyone who calls the hit by Jones that took out Allen a dirty play, either hasn't got a fucking clue or just hates the Pats so much they can't help themselves. Helmet to helmet is NOT a penalty on a running play. Dropping your head and leading with the crown is. You could argue that Allen's move comes much closer to that than anything Jones did, and I don't think he did anything wrong either. He was clearly turned to stop Allen with his shoulder and he didn't even initiate the contact. The crown of Allen's helmet hit the ear hole of Jones helmet as he was fighting for a 1st down. Even Patriot hater Tony Dungy said Jones did the only thing he could in that situation.
