Just watched every throw EJ took against the Pats and I have a couple thoughts.

-Overwhelming majority of his throws looked to be about 2 yards down field...lot of RB/TE or cross WR

- then he lobs one downfield. Accuracy looked bad on about half of those.

- He is big and he will run.

So my take? I actually think he gets the ball out quick. He looks to have his mind made up he is taking he short route or check down pretty early on. He also seemed he had his deep ball planned as soon as the ball was snapped and where it was going

I think the fact he looks to go short so quick so often it could play against our pass rush.

That mean those short garbage throws are things we need to take away from him.

Live or die with him beating our weak secondary....

Short quick throws hurt our pass rush, but very much help against our sub-par secondary. As long as we aren't giving an 8 yard cushion like we did on 85% of plays last year, i think we could be alright

I would expect the bills to try to utilize Spillers quickness in space with little screens in the flat.

if the D plays like it did against seattle, i don't think manuel has near as much time as he did against the pats. spiller is a guy we definitely need to keep a spy on, though...right up TD's ally.

 

i foresee several more forced throws and mistakes in this game as opposed to what they had against the pats. i wouldn't be surprised to see us hold them to 10 or less offensive points...which might be really helpful if our offense doesn't get cooking.

      Can we get to 9-8?

      By Mike2.0 · Posted

      A winning record would be nice, but I still have us winning around the 6 to 8 game mark. Realistically we should beat the Jets and Saints, that gets us to 5 wins. After that, we have to face a lot of potential play off teams and our divisional opponents. I think we’ll win 1 or 2 of those games to take us to 6 or 7 wins, perhaps 8 wins if we can spring a further surprise.  Is that enough progress for head coach and QB? I’m not sure, it will depend on performances and output. That said, it’s nice to be back in a position where we are thinking about the play offs.

      Eight of Bryce Young's nine wins have come off game-winning drives

      By Mike2.0 · Posted

      I would tend to agree about not falling into the trap and paying a below average QB, but sometimes situations can “force” a team to pay that QB. For example, if we play ourselves into a 9-8 like record, then what options will we have in the draft? Or do we avoid the draft and trade for or sign someone in free agency?  I’m not convinced by the 2026 QB draft class. There’s some intriguing prospects but no one that really screams “draft me”. I’m not sure we’ve got anyone really that stands out as a trade candidate or free agent signing. So although we might not want to commit a big money contract to Young, him playing well and showing progress might force the team’s hand.

      Trade Chuba?

      By Mike2.0 · Posted

      Realistically we would be looking at no more than a mid round pick for Dowdle or Chuba. Are we really that desperate for a mid round pick? Not really. I would much prefer us utilise the two RBs in a 1-2 punch similar to how we used D-Will and Stewart. After all, Bryce is not Drew Brees. He won’t throw for 300+ yards and carry the team consistently as a passer. So having a strong running game with a 1-2 punch will be beneficial to him, and it will also be beneficial to the RBs because we can spell them and not overwork them.
