What a game! Bills in the snow dominate the 49ers. Here are my three takeaways
- Josh Allen MVP! First QB in NFL history to throw, rush, and receive a touchdown. What a treat to watch this guy play football. 20 years of misery and to turn on the game and watch this guy perform is fantastic.
- James Cook! What speed! That 65 yard run was pivotal in controlling the game. The run game was definitely feast or famine. I give credit to the niners for stuffing the early runs but it was all moot because of the first take.
- Bills defense was having problems with stopping the run. Before McCaffery got hurt it looked like he was about to have a career day. Rapp with another TD saving tackle on CMC was huge. The 49ers moved the ball well but stalled in the red zone and missed kicks. I am concerned that this isn’t a championship level defense.
Fantastic game for bills fans and niners fans (@grayruby) I feel for you. On the pod ruby thought the snow would be a great equalizer. Maybe some fumbles and interceptions will fall the way of San Francisco but the bills got all the breaks.
Bills move to 10-2 and play the Rams on the road next week. KC we are coming for that #1 seed
SN suggested this post to me when I posted about Gruden's breakdown of Ravens vs Bills. One of the better recommendations I have gotten under a post even though it did make die a little inside. Let's Go Buffalo.
Ultimately, having Allen in the snow is the great disequalizer.
Good recap.
I wouldn’t say I thought the snow would be a great equalizer so much as I thought a wild game with people slipping around and the ball slipping everywhere was really the only way the 49ers could win being without 9 starters against the Bills coming off their bye in Buffalo. The 49ers aren’t built for the snow after all and the Bills are. I was just hopeful a few crazy plays just might go their way.
I think the Bills D is good enough. The line is good and with Milano back you have playmakers at every level.
KCs ridiculous luck has to run out at some point. I think the Bills have a good shot at the 1 seed.
That was a good game
