00:02 - I'm looking at this game
00:03 and I'm seeing a Buffalo Bills team
00:06 that needs to come out and pass the ball on first down
00:09 if they wanna have a chance at winning this game.
00:11 It's clear that the weakness of the Philadelphia Eagles
00:14 is within their secondary.
00:15 Now there have been some cracks that have been opening up
00:18 in the ground defense for the Eagles.
00:20 We saw Pacheco have a pretty nice game last go around,
00:24 but we are seeing opportunities for the passing attack.
00:27 This is the reason why Sam Howell
00:29 and the Washington Commanders, as bad as this team is,
00:32 was scoring as many points as they were
00:34 and giving the Eagles trouble in both of their games.
00:36 It wasn't because the commanders have a great rushing attack
00:39 or because the commanders have an outstanding defense
00:42 under the now fired Jack Del Rio.
00:44 It's because they simply came out under Eric Biennium
00:46 and chucked the ball on first down,
00:48 and that's where you're gonna have some success.
00:50 So my own concern is Sean McDermott neuters this offense,
00:54 has them run the ball too much.
00:56 Those runs aren't successful.
00:57 And Josh Allen flounders here.
00:59 But I think if they come out
01:00 and play the way that they should,
01:02 it's the assumption of raster on coaching.
01:04 I know it kills us all because we think
01:06 that a game should be coached a certain way,
01:09 the optimal way, and a coach,
01:11 especially a defensive-minded coach, has a different idea.
01:13 But we should be seeing a lot of passing attempts
01:16 from Josh Allen here.
01:18 And Josh Allen may need to utilize his wheels,
01:20 and we're going to probably see some success
01:23 through the air from Jalen Hurts
01:24 in this Philadelphia Eagles offense,
01:26 given the defensive injuries
01:28 for the Buffalo Bills in their secondary.
01:30 A couple of props that I liked in this game,
01:33 I was shocked to see Josh Allen's passing touchdowns
01:37 only at one and a half, and it was only minus 130.
01:40 I took the over in that.
01:41 There's only been three quarterbacks all season
01:43 that the Philadelphia Eagles have held below two touchdowns,
01:48 and one of them was Baker Mayfield.
01:50 So we're not talking, Etua was another guy,
01:52 but we're not talking like elite quarterbacks
01:54 with the exception of Etua.
01:56 So I think that Josh Allen can get two-plus touchdowns.
01:58 And then I was conversing there a little bit
02:01 with your friendly producer, Sam,
02:03 and he was suggesting Khalil Shakir's longest reception
02:07 over 16 and a half yards.
02:09 So I'm joining him on that one.
02:11 I think that that makes a lot of sense as well.
02:13 So a couple of Buffalo Bills passing props for you.
02:16 Sean McDermott, do not let us down here today.
