ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. (WROC) — If it weren't for the New England playoff game a couple years ago, there's an argument to be made that the first half against Jacksonville was the best 30 minutes a Bills football team has ever played. I'd love to get a take from Mac Jones on which game was better. He was on the opposite sideline for both. Jones came within a whisker of making the outcome Monday night the same 47-17 final where that Bills-Patriots playoff game settled. Alas, the Bills were not even allowing garbage points this time around. The Bills demolished Jacksonville. They eviscerated the Jags. The obliterated on both sides of the ball. It was the type of win that not only warranted a deep dive into the thesaurus, it also left plenty of time for it. I don't even think Joe Brady's wildest dreams about this offense included a game like this. At least, not in week three. Not only did everyone eat, most everyone left the table with a full belly. Ten different receivers. Five different touchdown scorers. It wasn't just how the offense was spread around. There were points in the game when it seemed like the Jags had never defended a passing offense before. James Cook had back to back catches early in the second quarter where you at home watching the game was closer in coverage. The Bills seemed to do a nice job crossing the Jags man coverage to death. Brady didn't simply beat the Jags. He embarrassed them. My favorite play was the fourth down call on the opening possession. Last week in MIami, Brady sent a receiver in motion bubbling behind Josh Allen and James Cook in a shotgun formation. Against the Dolphins, that receiver continued across the formation and drew attention while Cook leaked out for a walk-in touchdown. This week against Jacksonville, it was Cook who drew attention while Khalil Shakir leaked into oodles of space. It's the kind of play-calling continuation you'll see a lot from the Andy Reid's of the world. Layering one wrinkle upon the next. Now, that you've seen plan A, I'm gonna hit you with plan B and I'm not gonna wait for you to adjust. Incredibly encouraging stuff. Allen certainly does grease the wheels for all of Brady's clever invention. A second four-touchdown game already this year has to put Allen near or, more likely, at the top of the MVP conversation. Allen made plays when needed against the Jags, but no more than that. He didn't need to be Superman. He just needed to be in control and Allen was doing that in spades. He had the Jags defense dancing like marionettes. It's a great way to let Allen cook without getting his body cooked (y'all saw Josh slide, too, right??) As much as his cadre of weapons deserve a few flowers, I'm placing my bouquet at the feet of the offensive line. Allen could have balanced his checkbook in the pocket Monday night. Wait... does anyone balance their checkbook anymore? What's the 21st century version of that? Allen could have posted his Be Real, sent a snap to Mitch Morse and updated his Instagram story in the pocket Monday night. I now feel so up to date. Spencer Brown is the only offensive lineman in the NFL yet to allow a quarterback pressure through three weeks, let alone a sack. Allen has only been sacked twice. Josh Hines-Allen and Travon Walker were afterthoughts against the Bills. Even without Morse, the guys up front have not skipped a beat. How good were the Bills on offense Monday night? Keon Coleman was being punished--he got benched for the first quarter after an issue with tardiness--and he still got in the end zone. For the first time all year, the Bills got through a game without losing a defensive starter to injury. Not that it seems to matter. The Sean McDermott/Bobby Babich defense has only allowed 23 points total over the last five quarters. This time, it was with Baylon Spector, Dorian Williams and Cam Lewis starting in the middle. I was incredibly impressed by how well the Bills covered. The first Jacksonville scoring drive ended in three points and not six because Ja'Marcus Ingram, then Dorian Williams, then Rasul Douglas (against Gabe Davis) all were in the hip pocket of a receiver 1-on-1. The Jags might not have CeeDee Lamb and A.J. Brown at receiver, but they do have talent. The Bills were erasing those receivers all night long and with a variety of defenders. Von Miller now has sacks in three consecutive games. Miller did beat the offensive tackle that is a backup to the offensive tackle who has been a colossal first round disappointment. Last year, he didn't beat any tackles. So, this is better. The Bills have to be ecstatic with the improvement and Miller continues to look plenty quick for a 35 year-old. He doesn't bring it a ton of snaps, but he's been closing down drives each of the first three weeks. One sack a week adds up to an All-Pro season. Damar Hamlin got his latest full circle moment, grabbing his first interception back on Monday Night Football. The same program where he suffered the cardiac arrest in Cincinnati two years ago. The play itself didn't require much effort. Trevor Lawrence airmailed a receiver and all Hamlin had to do was not drop it. The admiration comes from what Hamlin did to be on the field when that opportunity arrived. He wasn't even a guarantee to make the team when training camp began and here he was in week three, making one of the top Bills defensive plays because he had earned a starting spot during the preseason. This game was a McDermott fantasy. There were contributors all over the roster. One through 53. Not only ten receivers and five touchdown scorers, but also five different players with a sack. Two different players with a turnover. This was a game where each player did their 1/11th and it added up to 11 million. One of the reasons I thought this Bills team would take a step back this year was because there were too many questions in the preseason. It was hard to imagine McDermott finding solutions for all of them. So far, that's exactly what he's done. The new safety duo has been a security blanket at the back end. Douglas and Christian Benford have upped their game a notch on the outside. The Bills haven't allowed a touchdown to a receiver since the first possession of the season and Christian Kirk is the first wideout to even top 50 yards. Concerns about an edge rush have turned into nine sacks through three games. Connor McGovern has the Bills O-Line humming in his first season as the starting center. The Bills have not missed having a "number one" receiver one bit. Over the last few years, it seems some of the better teams stumble out of the gate while they use the first two or three weeks of the regular season as extended preseason still confident that their margin of error to make the playoffs is quite wide. Not the Bills. And this coaching staff had ready made excuses for early season trouble. The offense was fairly new under Brady. They significantly re-made the receivers and offensive line. The defense had a new play caller and starters have been dropping like flies. Yet, the Bills rolled into week one with their crap together. And they are hammering teams with their competence. You saw what happened when that coaching staff gets 11 days to scout an opponent. They made the Jacksonville Jaguars look like a directional Michigan school. What Buffalo might lack in household name talent, they make up for it with preparation and execution. Times ten. They've beat the snot out of the last two teams with it. This team isn't necessarily out-talenting opponents. McDermott has his team in the right spot at the right time all the time. The only problem with these last three games is they're happening in late September and not late January. There's still lots more season to go. We believe it'll get harder over the next three weeks with road trips to Baltimore, Houston and against the Jets. The big question for the Bills is not if they can play at an elite Super Bowl contending level. It's if they can keep doing it. Dion Dawkins said after the game the Bills dominated Monday night because they were just being themselves. The Bills have looked pretty comfortable in their own skin since halftime of week one and the team that showed up in Orchard Park Monday night would have steamrolled just about anyone. Just ask Mac Jones. He's seen it before.
