Impressed with Dorsey, called a good game.

I agree. They only stopped themselves last night. Only one game, but I like that he wasn’t having JA running so much, like Daboll seemed to.

Defense looked good, too.

I think its becoming a non-homer take as well that Allen might just be the best player in the game at any position

He's legit undefendable

He was a second late on a throw that the defender made a great play on for his only bad play of the game yesterday. Crazy poop.

Took a couple big hits, especially that one at mid field when he got held up by his legs. Ramsey came flying in there

Oh, well I did miss their opening drives of both halves, I must’ve missed some of his runs (yes, it is a proven fact through the years that they do better when I’m not watching.) I think you hit on the difference in they are not designed running plays, they are more scrambles when nothing is open.
At times with Daboll calling the plays last year it almost felt like I was watching Tebow at UF

You could hear it on the field mics, someone was out there yelling, “make a wish!”

The Rams offensive line and Stafford got their asses kicked by the Bills defensive front.

Tough to have an effective passing game when you're concerned with getting crushed every play.

It's how the Giants beat the Patriots in 2 Super Bowls.

I think McDermott’s system doesn’t put a big emphasis on the corner positions.

It mainly depends on the d line and safeties.

Jerry from Albion here. I've been watching the Bills since 1964 and I have to say Jack Kemp would never smile while stiff arming a DB. That's just disrespectful by Allen. Thanks for taking my call

Defense revolving around the d line play.

Adding von is gonna be very dangerous with all these young high d-line draft picks.....

O-line focusing on Miller opens things up for others to make a play. They looked tough last night. And they also seemed to be tackling better.

D looked stout, Offense looked like a machine if they don’t stop themselves.

Of the games we've won, 18 straight double digit wins.

Hopefully this winning feeling grabs the Sabres....

Sabres could have a year like FL’s first year under Gallant. They didn’t always win, but their play was improving and they were fun to watch. Many nights they were a brain fart or two away from winning, a couple of bad minutes that would swing the game. As the season went along one started to get the feeling that they could beat anybody if they could just put it all together for 60 minutes. Sabres already showed signs of this as last season wound down. We’ll see if they continue this progress.
Sabres take steps forward and play meaningful games late in the season, but falling just short of reaching the playoffs. So much depends on the goalie, though

He had a 12yrd run called back on a penalty to Saffold, and if he doesn't fumble there, he would have Averaged over 4yrds a carry. I don't like Moss but if he's healthy he could do some damage.
- Buff36


Most of Moss's touches were most likely intended for Cook, but he got sat after the fumble. Good on McD for dressing 3 RB's in case Cook got the yips. The kid will contribute his share as the season goes on

Allen had a perfect passer rating while targeting Ramsey.

Not impressed
