Balls and Goats

[Novacane]

Balls..........James Cook. What a coming out party.

Brady..........the run was working and he kept going with it.

OL..............Cook had 5 yards before any Cowboy was near him on a lot of his runs.

Taron Johnson....................he was all over the field

Defense..............everyone else. The entire unit played great.

McDermott................great defensive game plan and he didn't let up.


Goats.........................the person who said the Bills had no chance. That was ridiculous when you said it and looks just plain dumb now.

Re: Balls and Goats

Balls - I want to give the whole team them but this feels like a cop out with all the great performances out there

James Cook - outrageous game today, 170+ yards on the ground and 42 in the air, dude just had 200 yards total offense; he is turning into a RB1 for us, just hope he figures out the pass blocking part
OLINE - I feel like i'm cheaping out just grouping them like this, but man, I didn't see a single lineman having a **** game out there, they were all fighting hard and were vital to a 266y rushing game (yeah, i had to double check that number O.o)
Diggs - not much from the WR/TE today, but diggs was a standout
Allen - Nothing special required from our MVP, but no turnovers, 2TD and lots of big 3rd down conversions

the whole defense but special callouts to ->
Taron Johnson
Jordan Poyer
Terrel Bernard
Christian Benford
Tyrel Dodson

Goats - no one, just great game.

Re: Balls and Goats

Ball: McD. Had the team ready from the start, for once. Playing with the lead made all the difference.

I have a real long list!

Re: Balls and Goats

Be honest, if someone would’ve told you that Allen would have <100 passing yards, sub-50% completion percentage, Diggs would have <50 yards, and Kincaid would register a goose egg on the stat sheet vs an offense that is obliterating the league, what would you think the final score would be?

One goat:

Gabe Davis. Another 0-fer. This is more of a fantasy team gripe but it is a little concerning

Re: Balls and Goats

I think the only thing that bothered me was McDermott and his 2nd half defensive timeouts. He's done a lot better retaining them, but whenever he calls one on defense, it helps the opponent. It's like he's shaking, needing to call a timeout for something, and it never helps. It's not a goat.

That said, the Bills restored my confidence in the season. I didn't think this would end well. Brady worked his game plan in the weather, Allen maintained his discipline, Cook shined, McDermott's undermanned defense stood up with a well coached game plan and got to Prescott, props to McD there, and I can suddenly really think we can win out and make a run with the division in play.

Delighted with this game. They did good work.

Re: Balls and Goats

Jordan Phillips was a beast, one would think Prescott said something bad about his mother.

31-10 the other way

31-10 the other way

At the very least.

Re: Balls and Goats

Brady- That game plan was Beli/Reid like. As they were saying through the entire game, Dallas is built more to rush the passer, a little weaker in matching up physically. Brady exploited that and didn't let up. Its kind of incredible to limit one of the best QB's in the league to so few passes, but he didn't waver as long as the run game was winning.

Oline- none of that game plan works without the Oline playing outstanding, which they did. They've been playing very well all year, excepting a game or two, or really like a half or two. They pounded a smaller D, but it was some of the little things. Example, on Cook's last TD, Brown and O'Cyrus were doubling the DT. It would have been a 3-4 yard gain, which was fine at that time of the game. But at the last second, Brown bounced off the block and picked off a pursuing DB/LB (not sure which). The block helped the 3-4 yard gain go for a 20+ yard TD. Its the little things...and the pounding on people. PS. Ty Johnson himself averaged 6.0 yards on his carries while spelling Cook.

Cook-what more needs to be said. The way the Oline was playing, he was getting 3-4 yards on nearly every carry. But he was taking those carries and beating people around the corner, or getting past the LB's after hitting the hole. He shouldn't be able to do that with a D as quick as Dallas. He had a TT type performance.

The entire D-they played fast, physical, smart and in synch. The Boys had been averaging 30 pts per game this season before tonight. They didn't score a TD until garbage time.

All around, outstanding game.
