I thought he won’t come to the mainland in fear of ICE? Bill belichick is gonna rap? I’m in

Walker needs to starting with Oliver when Oliver returns

He’s pretty consistently wrong about prospects. I do enjoy his NFL stuff and he should stick to that

His number is 69. You have to keep him

Hey let me tell you something men

Per the Bills radio play by play broadcast Cook had a shoe issue on the sideline when we couldn’t pick up the third and 2 in two plays and nearly blew the game.

They tried to lean into the pass more in the first half yesterday after that second drive and look where it got us! James Cook HAS to be the featured piece in this offense. Because after Josh he is the best player, and by a long way too. He IS our best playmaker. The drive that put us up 21-10 after half is how this offense HAS to play. It isn't the way I'd have built the team if I was the GM but it is the way Brandon Beane has built it. Run James Cook, short passes and YAC with Shakir, then Coleman and Kincaid sprinkled in as intermediate pieces. Palmer, Knox and Hawes as nice change up pieces. In the second quarter (before the final possession after the INT to run out the half) they ran 11 plays, used Cook just twice, tried one other gimmick run with Moore and called 8 passes. That sequence was 11 plays for minus 6 yards. It should be beyond doubt at this stage that the offense is not just the coaches choosing to play this way. It's the way the Bills have to use the talent we have. Criticise the build all you like, that is legit. I still worry it will come down a time pressured drive in the playoffs to win the game and our lack of ability to go down the field will undermine us. What is particularly concerning to me is if anything happens to Cook. Cross everything we have. Because this style doesn't work if Ray Davis and Ty Johnson are your lead backs. Just watch the Chargers yesterday.

This is just stupid. Since 2020 the Bills have been in the top 5 for margin of victory every year - winning games by an average of greater than a TD. They have won the more games than every team, but 1 in that span. If they consistently played down to their competition- they wouldn’t be winning by an average of over 10 points per game and be 4-0. Teams that play down to their competition- they lose the Miami game (see the Chargers this week). When the Bills play their game - you may not like it, but they dominate the opponent and typically win by more than 1 score - just like this week. Are they perfect - No, but they are still a top team that has won and crushed lesser competition for years now.

We had 12 man on the field earlier when Bosa couldn't get off the field quickly. We were docked 5 yards for that. The TO was taken because we only had 10 people on the field and the Saints had Big Men on the field by putting more TEs.

The suspensions for Hoecht and Ogunjobie are ending in two weeks after which the Bills can get them back in the 53-man roster. McDermott needs to find spots for them on the 53 man roster. With Samuel now healthy, coach is trying to see if he can replace Codrington on kickoff returns and use others for punt returns. If this situation works, Codrington will be gone and the Bills will be able to make a decision on replacing Codrington with Hoecht or Ogunjobie. The 2nd guy who may be on the chopping block will be Solomon unless the Bills can trade Epeneza and his $6M salary (cap relief)

Dude did you not see the Saints no name QB miss a wide open WR in the end zone that would have given them the lead? Sorry but the Bills could have easily lost 3 of their first 4 games because our defence sucks

This offense has scored on their first possession in all four games this season. This defense needs to get better. I believe they will. I do believe McD used the perceived weakness of the Saints as an opportunity to see where they were with Samuel, and how useful he might be going forward. And I wonder what their conclusions are? I don't see Samuel as a better returner than Codrington. The Saints have (apparently) been abysmal on special teams. As a one-game sample, it's hard to read too far into his numbers. And i'm not sure he offers anything more than Moore does as a WR. He had a nice third down conversion, and a third down miss. But McD/Beane may feel differently. I thought Van Demark played admirably, and was fine in pass pro. I have faith in the depth of the O-line, but against a better defense, I think Brown would have been sorely missed, especially in the run game. Ty Johnson had an incredible '24 season. He made incredible plays every game, especially receiving. What happened? Why has his production fallen so far off? Cole Bishop is really developing into a quality starter. He's gotten better each game-- and I don't think it's just that we played a weaker opponent. I also continue to have faith in Rapp, recent struggles notwithstanding. I think they have the potential to develop into a special duo. TJ Sanders looked decent. But to my eyes, Deone Walker looked better. GO BILLS!

As a franchise, i think we should lose our first four Super Bowls. That makes winning our fifth a near certainty.

WC Matchups are set NL... Reds at Dodgers and Padres at Cubs AL... Tigers at Indians and Bosox at Yanks Astro's and Mets eliminated on last day

link?

Did someone spike your drink? Were you exposed to too much lead paint maybe? I can't make any sense of why someone would even think of something like this.

Haven't really seen much Pats football this year. I did see some scary punt returns in the highlights today. Maye seems like a legit QB. Vrabel is a damn good head coach IMO. He will have that team playing physical football.

My random notes (I like this thread!): Samuel in for Codrington: I like it, even if Samuel is not quite as good a returner, because it gives us a WR who can play rather than a DB who doesn't. Cook accelerates like an electric car Jimbo is actually a better short yardage back than Ray or Ty Josh getting more angry when the Bills don't play well is a great sign, he's a true mature leader now in addition to the great dude he always has been On the fourth and 1: Brady got cute, running a play with a WR running sideways to the penetrating D line. Put in an FB, 2 tight ends and 6 OL and let Cook find a yard or two.

In the second half? They basically had to use them to try and get a three and out without too much clock running because they were down two scores. It was an intentional use of timeouts, not some sort of sloppy use of them.

Probably cuz the father is James Cook Jr And he just didn't name either of his first two kids James.. the third kid got the same name

Landon should be getting defensive reps ahead of Solomon since Solomon hasn’t shown anything, but I know he plays STs as well so he keeps getting a jersey. McD said a couple weeks ago Landon was close to playing, so it was a surprise he wasn’t up for this game.

It’s more likely that his dad’s name is James Cook Jr…so he’s James Cook III

Here's what's on my mind: I never noticed that Cook has COOK III on the back of his jersey. Maybe it's new, or maybe it's just because his hair obscures the name plate. But we all know that James has an older brother, Dalvin, and it turns out that there's an even older brother. So if James was the third son, how did he get the Dad's name?

Sometimes a timeout is worth more than 5 yards - this is one aspect that analytics or coaches do NOT consider When there is a potential delay of game, QB's frequently call time out. Is that there much of a difference between e.g. a 2nd and 3 and a 2nd and 8 to waste a timeout that can be game altering at the end
