About as complete of a win as you get against one of the best teams in the league on primetime.
Passing game looked nice in the limited attempts, but the running game made a statement on opening snap. Fuck you coaches for not letting Henry get one more yard. Andrews had some mean blocks but that drop......bro get it together. Bateman get your shit together with that drop in the endzone. Same goes for you Zay.
Outside of one drive, defense was phenomenal tonight. Best game from Orr. He most certainly needed a game like this. Yeah Stephens should've turned his head, but those back shoulder throws are tough to defend when executed correctly. Wiggins needs to hit the jug machine PRONTO. Marvin should slap himself for that dumbass penalty. Josh Allen is tough to bring down (reminds me of Big Ben) so of course almost sacks were inevitable.
Nice of this team to swing the momentum back to them after going 3 and out back to back with the forced fumble.

We did a whole lotta dumb shit this game but didn't let it kill us like we've been previously doing. Huge step in the right direction.
I'd honestly say that's probably only 70% as good as we can actually play. And with that C overall grade for what our highest potential can be, we smacked the shit out of the undefeated, "SB bound", Bills

Damn it was nice to see the return of the 2023 Baltimore Ravens. I missed throttling media darlings.
A 35-10 beat down of the Bills and we're complaining? Lol of course we could of play better but I'm not going to nit pick when this score was totally unexpected.
Except....Nate needs to hit the jugs machine

Rosengarten is a must at RT. I'm not 100% sure but Mekari is probably better than Vorhees right now. Faalele hasn't really been asked to do too much. The last 2 weeks I think they've done well to not put him in too bad of a situation. Seems clear the Cleveland experiment ain't happening. I hope Daniel can really continue grow from live reps!

Great win. The crazy thing is this offense isn't even near it's potential yet. I do think it would be nice if they had a wide receiver that could make contested catches consistently though. Could see them interested in trading for Hopkins or maybe they sign Michael Thomas. The pass rush could get scary if Yannick still has some juice as a pass rusher

Agreed. Lots of room for improvement. That WR is totally missing though. They have been banking on Bateman ans he's just not it.
Yannick is really interesting. I do think I'd prefer seeing him than TRob at the end of games.
Also don't forget Keaton and Maulet both on their way back too!
Justice Hill is a really good football player. It’s not going to be noticed in the stat book but his sheer will kept a couple of those early drives alive.
Offensively, I still don’t know if I want to run this much constantly, but it’s working and it’s what needed to be done against this Bills team. The use of misdirection and then using play action was really damn good. Had a little issues at the start of the second half, but got our heads out of our asses quick and got back to work.
Defensively, Orr seems to be coming into his own. One fluky Josh Allen miracle away from completely shutting them down. Disguise is starting to work and it doesn’t require sending the house. A 5 man rush is getting the job done when they can’t identify who those 5 are.

Being on the right side of an epic Henry run was a lot of fun. If only he had used a Bills defender as a blocker I could finally tell my therapist I’m ready to move on from 2019
wow, that's insane
I don’t think there’s much reason for concern yet. Drop was obviously bad but these last 2 weeks had game plans that didn’t suit Mark quite as much. Worth saying that he’s still blocking his ass off out there too.
