The Bills had a top 5 pressure rate coming in, despite a league-lowest blitz rate. The DL is dominant, but Jimmy G doesn't take sacks

My bad, just passing time in my cube : )

Sorry, another unwelcome Bills fan here haha. Not going to teach you guys anything you don't already know, or say anything that won't elicit eye-rolls, but I saw a lot of mention of Allen's high number of turnovers the last few years. He is still a force despite this: The Jets also represent a unique house of horrors for him lately. I believe he has 13 turnovers the last 5 times he's played in that building, or something like that. The Jets' All-22 from week 1 is some of the most pristine defense I've ever seen - Perfect gaps, perfect decisions/discipline, and perfect guesses on every play. Just as on example, on Whitehead's first (or second) interception, he abandoned his assignment on a dig route into his area on pure intuition and it worked out (normally, abandoning your assignments does not work out). The Jets baited Allen and it worked perfectly three critical times. The Raiders played the same 3 and 4 high shells all day, only the coaches got Allen to take the underneath stuff and he wasn't all jacked up and in his house of horrors, and he returned to baseline (the sort of baseline that wins 38 of his last 51 regular season games). And of course, the Raiders' horses are not as good or disciplined as those on the Jets. I would agree that your defense is closer to the Jets baseline than the Raiders', though I'm not convinced that you'll play quite as perfectly as they did on Monday night in particular. Still, the Washington defense is legit and I anticipate the same gameplan to avoid those high chaos plays the Jets feasted on. Spencer Brown, our RT, is our worst player on offense, and was matched up with Crosby all day. But someone counted that we chipped Crosby on a minimum of 16 dropbacks, and he was a nonfactor. My impression is that Payne/Allen/Sweat are your best DL in that order, so assignments will have to be different, but I anticipate the same sorts of heavy sets and creative checkdowns we've seen this year, which is brand new to the Bills offense (I think they ran 12 personnel like 5% of the plays last year, and are running it 50% so far this year). It's a completely different offense from the one you saw in 2021 in that regard. I love the weapons on your team - For 2 years now I have been drafting McLaurin Dotson and Robinson in every fantasy draft because none of my friends know ball, and they're always there late. Great players, and they have legitimately won me hundreds of dollars The Commanders remind me of the 2019 Bills (or hopefully the 2023 Sabres in a different sport) - driven young players leading the way out of a dark cave in which the franchise has been stuck for countless years. Obviously the details were a bit different, but both teams had a young QB with moxy who aren't afraid to rip a pass anywhere they think they can fit it, a defense that gives people fits, and hope for the first time in a generation. It's the NFL so this is always true, but even if the Bills bring it, they have to be ready because I think washington is due for a statement win to say 'we are here and we aren't going away.' The Bills were able to make that step and I hope you guys can too (though I will obv be rooting for it to come a different week ha) Bro, we have like 3 dolphins fans that have been doing this on the Bills forum for bordering on a decade now. We caught one of them because he has the same twitter handle as forum username hahaha
