Balls and Goats

[Prov401]

Balls:

Josh Motherf***ing Allen: He's clearly hurt and he's clearly playing through pain and he's clearly been hurt since Green Bay, but the heart of that guy. I wish we had a whole team of Josh Allens. Damn, he makes mistakes but he carries this team and is a major reason why they are 8-3 right now.

Diggs: He's the most important player to his qb since Andre Reed

Singletary: Quiet but solid contribution

Bass Pro Shop: Tyler, you had me saying not so nice things about you when you missed the extra point, but you made up for it when it mattered

Goats:

OL- Beane please get Josh a front wall. Please, I beg you. This flotsam of burning garbage he has in front of him is going to get Josh Killed

Run Defense: I get it, you're banged up to hell and back, yikes its bad this year.

If Allen had a top 5 o line, it'd be game, set, match.

Goat - Josh not good today
RB - no touchdowns and no long run yard .

Ball - Buffalo bills reat 10 days

The Bills play on Thursday.

Balls :

- Allen. He came up big when he had to, like he normally used to, in the end. Don't think he's healthy.
- Diggs. Finally changed back to himself after trying to be Davis for awhile, and it was critical.
- Oliver. He stepped it up.
- Fans. You suffered through it, and at least they won, but it doesn't feel at all joyous. Happy Thanksgiving though !

Goats :

- McOffense. That was the 28th ranked passing defense and 31st ranked rushing defense, the 32nd ranked defense in the league, and that's the best you can do, fighting for your playoff lives ? Really ?
- McDefense. Same problems tackling that have been going on for years. Same soft normal that exposes less experienced players. This week it was Goff roughing them up. Goff, after Brissett and Cousins, and the benched Zach Wilson. That's the best you can do, really ?

I don't feel any more championship aspirations, this team looks like they're hanging on to simple competitive by their fingernails.

How on earth do you give Allen a goat?

[YardRat]

I don't know why anybody would give Milano a ball unless they are still counting the Browns game. He missed a few key tackles and was dragging in pass coverage.

Injuries to Hype, White, Poyer, Milano, Edmunds, Oliver, Phillips, Johnson, Allen, S. Brown, Ike, Dawkins, Miller, Rousseau, AJ Epensea, Davis, Elam, Benford, Crowder, Kumerow…they are doing one hell of a job hanging in to be 8-3.

Get healthy, get better.

I’ll watch it again, but I don’t think he was horrible in the first half. YES, he missed sone easy tackles in the second half, especially late. Seemed to me he was trying to do too much instead of just his job.

It's really weird. No one looks like themselves two games in a row anymore.

Oh, a ball to Sam Martin, that guy is a rock. He and the long snapper are the only consistent ones that perform the same every game.

They might not though, which means the coaching staff is going to need to step up, and I don't see that happening.

I don’t think there are many teams in this edition of the NFL that could take as many injuries as the Bills have and still be 8-3! Seriously, I don’t like Dorsey’s offense and Frazier’s defense with this group that is fighting there butts off makes it hard to watch. Think about how many games the starters have missed! We have played second and third testers and waiver wire pickups.

Yes they are VERY hard to watch but right now I still see the glass as more than half full!

How on earth do you give Allen a goat?

Because you don’t get a game ball for having a few good drives when the rest was the same **** we’ve been seeing. He was better, but he was nowhere near where he should be.

He’s hurt.

[DraftBoy]

He’s hurt.

I’m aware. This isn’t little league, you don’t get participation trophies.

[Night Train]

Balls : 8-3
Oliver
Jones - Both DT's were outstanding again

Goats : Injuries piling up.
Allen is obviously laboring/injured and gutting it out. Off on several throws again.
Team as a whole looked exhausted very early.
Secondary getting ripped
Dorsey play calling can be puzzling in situations

So are you saying to bench him for Keenum because that’s the alternative.

[Mace]

I’m aware. This isn’t little league, you don’t get participation trophies.

Well you do if you participate in the game winning drive for a struggling team though.

Allen's last UCL injury, I think he missed 4 games in 2018, then took 4 more to get back to speed. By the same token though, his issues started before this UCL, which to me means something else unreported.

I get what you're saying though, missing a few games might have been better for the long run, but I can't see them winning any of these games since the bye without him the way they're playing.

I just hope he's not making something he won't tell them worse, or they're sacrificing him for the sake of a theoretical championship window.

But he's clearly not himself, and stepped up to lead a game winning drive with trouble looking them hard in the face.

[TacklingDummy]

331 combined yards, 3 combined TDs, game winning drive with 23 seconds left. Several drops by the receivers.
Definitely a goat.

Unreal.

[kgun12]

I’m going to add our running game as a game ball. We had 164 yards rushing another good under the radar game rushing. Two weeks in a row.

He did a lot more than participate.
