00:00Ravens just hosted, not only hosted the Bills, but beat the
00:03Bills 35 to 10. A very complete game by the Ravens checking all
00:07the boxes from offense, defense to special teams. Obviously, the
00:11big performance from Derrick Henry, but it was a sound
00:13performance for the for the offense overall building off of
00:16what they did well versus the Cowboys carrying that momentum
00:19into this game. Tom mentioned earlier too, this is something
00:22we can see them continue to do for a couple of games here. But
00:25most importantly, do not count out the Buffalo Bills. Now I
00:28will also say this, we did see some spark coming out of
00:30halftime for the Bills. We did also see some injuries for the
00:34Bills. So they're working down a few units here and still trying
00:37to perform and produce. We saw Josh Allen get a little shaken
00:40up there for a minute. So a number of things play into this.
00:43So I'm right there with you, Tom, when you say it's not time
00:46to panic. But when we run through this 54.8% completion
00:50rate for Josh Allen tonight, they struggled. They're only 50%
00:53in the red zone. Third downs were just not it for them
00:55tonight, 23% efficiency when it came to third down. So we say
00:59don't panic. But where can we potentially see the Bills go
01:02from here in terms of successfully starting to get
01:05back in the W column?
01:07I mean, I think it starts immediately next week. And I
01:10think James Cook needs to continue to play a bigger role
01:13in their offense overall. Josh Allen, like he has this
01:18connection with Cook, they need to look to some of the
01:21consistent short passes, which will then open up some of the
01:24deeper passes with someone like Keon Coleman, you know, maybe
01:26getting up the scene with Dalton Cade. So, you know, Allen, of
01:29course, could have been more effective tonight, a little more
01:32efficient. I don't think we need to worry about what Allen is
01:36capable of doing. He actually has continued to start off the
01:39year with no interceptions, looking to Josh Allen to be more
01:43of a passer, they need to, like remove him from the run game to
01:46protect him. He's already dealing with this hand issue on
01:48his left hand. So I'm not too worried about the Bills. I think
01:51finding consistency in their receiving core, that's always
01:54gonna be a little bit tough. I think Khalil Shakir will
01:57continue to be the best number one option, but we're gonna see
02:00Keon Coleman step up at times, we're gonna see James Cook be
02:02involved at times, it's gonna be Dalton Cade. It's good stuff
02:06from the Bills, but they need to kind of fix things moving
02:09forward, and continue to get James Cook involved. He needs
02:12like close to 20 plus total touches on a weekly basis. And
02:15that's when I think their offense will be operating at
02:17like 100% efficiency.
