No fear and just a little bit of loathing in Las Vegas: Bills v Raiders week 4 recap

 

  Last week when I was talking about the defensive struggles I mentioned how hopefully Josh Norman coming back from injury could make an impact in a secondary that didn't look so hot. Unfortunately for me it took Levi Wallace (who's been awesome this season) going out injured to see Josh Norman come in to get into his first game of the year and man oh man did he have a day. 

As much as I'd like to say this was an offensive shootout I would be lying, and i'm not here to lie to you i'm here to remind you that the Bills are rolling and we're not slowing down yet. On the first drive of the game the O-line was giving Josh Allen all day to pick a target and fire a rocket down field that led to Gabriel Davis cashing in on his first and only reception of the day picking up a TD putting the Bills ahead early.

Cole Beasley came up with an unbelievable catch holding onto the ball while being hit and spun around in the air thankfully landing in the endzone. Singletary looked awesome in the first half with Diggs and  Isaiah McKenzie getting some looks spreading it around was working. Josh Allen looked awesome again with a bit of a scare coming at the end of the 2nd quarter going off with a left shoulder injury but quickly returned sparring us of having to watch anymore Matt Barkley than we have to. It was nice to see Diggs go over to Barkley when he was getting prepped to almost have to come in and coaching him up on the plays they've been running, good teammate shit. 

Even though Josh Allen came back injuries ran rampant on the Bills with Cole Beasley going out with a foot issue but he did come back in, the aforementioned Levi Wallace going out with an ankle injury,  and Matt Milano going out to get looked at. Hopefully we can blame it on the new turf in Vegas with even a few of the Raiders going down during the game, and have everyone back at 100% next week. Now about the defence...


The Defence looked like it had turned the corner holding the Raiders to just two field goals up all the way up until the end of the 2nd quarter, when the Raiders seemed to fly down the field seeing the robot formerly known as Jason Witten get a TD as the first half expired. The same problem we've been having these past couple weeks persisted where we come out of half time and just look like we've never played defence before. 

The 3rd quarter was back and forth seeing the Raiders cut the deficit down to 1, Derek Carr and Zay Jones (yes that Zay Jones, the one who was going to be apart of the future alongside almost super fat Kelvin Benjamin) picked us apart with Darren Waller and Hunter Renfrow making us look silly. It all came down to a massive 4th quarter from the Bills D to put the game away with a little help from a huge punt return from Andre Roberts.

The defence came out in the 4th and put their nuts on the table, first it was Josh Norman who came up big time after batting the ball loose and causing a fumble opening the door for a Devin Singletary TD to put the game farther out of reach for the Raiders. After that the Raiders got the ball back and none other than Ed Oliver made a massive stop on 4th and 1 to get the Bills the ball right back. To cap off the Bills D's 4th quarter heroics culminated in a sack and fumble recovery by first year Buffalo Bill Quinton Jefferson. 

After all of the that the Bills held on even with the garbage time TD from Agholor to make any las vegan who got blacked out during the game feel a little better when they look at the box score monday morning. The Bills are 4-0 for the first time since 2008, Josh Allen still looks incredible, same with Diggs, same with Josh Norman. Lets keep this rolling as we still sit alone atop the AFC East and make like a redneck with a guitar and head on out to Nashville to chase our dreams.

Hello darkness, my old friend : Bills v Chiefs AFC championship Recap

     What a kick in the nuts that was, all of the momentum and hope we had were pissed way in just the first half.  I mean what the fuck happened?  We admittedly looked like shit against the Colts but we squeaked by and won, the same thing happened against the Ravens; we looked god awful but thankfully for us so did Lamar Jackson.  We were unbelievably lucky to make it as far as we did with how bad we looked, we had the opportunity to make changes and adjustments but that would've been too easy. We go into a game against the defending Super Bowl champs, with a chance to go to the Super Bowl for the first time since 93' and we looked horrendous.  The defence was non-existent, no one and I mean fucking no one would guard either Travis Kelce or hall of fame woman beater Tyreek Hill. This was a repeat of last week, just like with Lamar we let Mahomes run all over us without him even getting touched by the defence.  The offence was even worse, chicken shit football from start to fin

WAGONS = CIRCLED: Bills v Colts wild card weekend Recap

Image
    Holy shit, what a batshit fucking crazy game that was. The Bills had to overcome a lot to erase the 25 years of playoff hurt, from dogshit play calling from Brian Daboll, to Josh having to run all over the place, to Gabriel Davis toe-tapping it twice in a row, to that bullshit no fumble call there to end the game the Bills simply wouldn't die.  I'm going to keep it real with you, we did not look good. The play calling on offence was just absolutely horrible, shades of the Texans game from last year. We give Josh all of these weapons to throw to but hey let's run it 3 times in a row and pile on the 3 and outs. If we have any hope of making it to the Super Bowl, Brian Daboll has to figure it the fuck out.  Going into the game it was obvious Jonathan Taylor was going to be an issue with how we've handled the run. BUT the defence decided to show up and held him to only 78 yards, the passing game on the other hand was a weak spot. Rivers picked apart our secondary every

The End : Toronto Blue Jays game 162 recap

Image
      Game 162 for all the marbles....  Should the Jays not have gotten swept by the Nats? Yes. Should the Jays not have gone 3-3 against the Tigers when they were vying for the top WC spot? Probably. Should the Jays not have gotten shit pumped by the Twins 3 times coming down the stretch? Absolutely. But those all unfortunately happened leaving the Jays on the outside looking in and their fate in the hands of the Nationals, Rays, and Angels. While leaving us the fans looking like Charlie from It's Always Sunny connecting the dots for a 1 Game WC birth.   The Jays came out hot and the bats were on fire going up 9-1 on a George Springer grand slam, while the Rays and Yanks were deadlocked at 0-0, the Mariners were down to the Angels, and the Red Sox were down 3-1 to the Nats.  The Jays close out game 162 strong killing the poor O's 12-4, with homers from Springer, Semien, and my king Vladdy Jr if this was going to be it at least they gave us a show to remember. All eyes went to
