Good for Bass, bad for offense
Maybe not a perfect 8-for-8, but Tyler Bass did enough to get the job done for the Bills. But make no mistake about it, this was an ugly, ugly showing from Buffalo’s offense.
At no point in the game did Buffalo find a way to take advantage of any bigger, positive plays they made. Tight end Tyler Kroft found success because of a blown coverage down the left sideline and he was wide open for a 38-yard completion. Rookie running back Zack Moss busted out a long 26-yard run down the left as well at another point. The chains, in general, were moved by the Bills. Quarterback Josh Allen did have another 300-plus yards. But what do many of these plays have in common? Buffalo did not find the end zone and their red zone offense wasn’t great.
On some occasions, we had penalty mistakes… actually, there were a lot of those. The biggest was when the Bills did finally score on a Gabriel Davis catch, but a penalty brought it back. Buffalo had 11 total flags go against them for a loss of 106 yards. On other occasions, Allen had some untimely sacks or running plays were stuff at the line of scrimmage. While concerning any week when things in the red zone are not great, it again, especially is, against a team like the Jets who haven’t even covered a spread yet in 2020, let alone won a game.
This game should not have been as close as it was. Buffalo offensive coordinator was climbing the coaching hill toward a head coach gig after four games this season, but that’s not the case anymore… at least right now.
