I am generally pretty risk-averse but prime JJ is absolutely worth having to have a reset year or two

How about that fourth down run that was stuffed in the fourth quarter? Old man Rodgers and his reaction to it were hilarious lol

Great argument for the defense needing to improve

Cook IS a superstar. He makes finds holes that arent there and no one else would find. Our own OL have talked about it. Respect it.

Let’s go skins. Ertz, the never but almost a bill, is still balling.

I’ve been really surprised at how bad he’s been. I wasn’t super high on him coming out, but thought he landed in the absolute perfect spot. If you can’t make it with KOC, probably not gonna make it

Yeah, unfortunately.

Makes sense. Pit did not look right. They should be embarrassed.

The Niners beat the 13-3 Packers completing 8 passes in the conference championship. you obviously want to be perfect but I reject the notion. Depending on the matchup in this years AFC, I could see us running over a playoff team or 2.

Watched some Steelers extra points show with former Steelers D-Tackle Chris Hoke and a number of interviews. A few points worth noting from the Bills perspective. Hoke said openly he thought Cook is good, but seeing Cook live in action wowed him. He explain in great detail on how to defend Cook, especially on the edge runs that got the Steelers repeatedly. TJ Watt also said he can't remember a team repeat the play so many times and got them almost every time; of course Watt didn't give an answer like a former player Hoke would. The main point is Cook is the reason why that worked. Hoke pretty much said when one guy (defender) is staying blocked, Cook finds it, cut back, strenched run, to the edge, you name it. And when there is nothing, he buried his head forward for a 2 yard gain. The point above explained why Joe Brady is able to call the same play over and over again. Because we have a "near" superstar in Cook. I used the work near superstar because Cook is not someone who can make a hole on his own, something the great HoF guys are able to do from time to time. On the downside, it makes me concerned about our front office not able to identify Cook as a "must" have in the off-season compared to the other contract extensions we gave out before him. Rogers actually gave a very insightful interview after the game, mentioned something like good preparation but poor practice this past week, as well as his film sessions with the guys, insinulating some guy may be tardy or not paying attention. He used example of Jonnu Smith play today where he singalled in-breaker and Jonnu ran an out-breaker for that missed play. Hoke jumped on that point explaining why there are so few middle of the field passing plays - because Rodgers does not trust the receivers. The point right above reminded me of Bills passing game issue and Allen's trusted guys, practically Kincaid and Shakir (maybe Knox as well). It directly led me to think about the Coleman benching. Now Allen may run more unstructured "scramble drill" plays, but the majority has to be structured plays where they will go thru film sessions like Rodgers did providing checks with his receivers. If you (like a young player Coleman) believe you can just live off scramble drill plays, like the TD Coleman caught today, you' lll never be a trusted receiver a QB can rely on. This is what Allen misses the most from the boundary receiver position on this Bills team. Today it is an example how McDermott envisioned of being the preferred offense to him. You dominated in run, then everything plays off it. If you have a downfield threat, it would be perfect. However, a top receiver probably would not accept the limited role in this offense, like AJ Brown with the Eagles because they are not going to get Lamb's or Chase's money. There is reason Diggs left. The only option for a top receiver is from the draft. What McDermott should have but we don't have is a top level complementary defense that can buy opportunities for Allen and the offense - I'm NOT talking about offense like the Steelers. We'll see about that next week

Would love to see KOC fired and come in as Josh's OC, but that aint happening so quickly. Haha, I just posted this in another thread. This is hilarious. Would love to know what was being said.

Right now but things are going to shift significantly in the AFC over the next bunch of weeks. A 10-7 team will probably make it in as the 7 seed.

Shavers threw an important block on almost every big run. I think he's in the mix for a game ball and certainly a secure roster spot.

Certain Bills fans are literally the only people who think that the Bills aren't a way better team than Cinci

Does anyone realize how how his salary is and that we are tight on the cap? This isn’t madden

For some perspective on the Josh/Heyward situation, I think it's far more respectable on both sides than how Defenders seem to feel about 49ers WR Jauan Jennings... Here's Browns DT after their game today... Now I have to know what Jennings is saying out there...

Its a Shanny system curse. Obviously KOC liked JJ, and Shanny liked Trey Lance. They can wring a lot of production out of physically limited, smart QBs. And then those QBs limitations demonstrate themselves, so they go hunting for the physically talented player to mold, and it can end up disastrous. Brock Purdy bailed out Kyle, but no one is bailing out KOC if McCarthy flames out. Kinda sucks for them honestly. Tough position.

Steeler O was bad. I take the win. But the Bills O today does not beat most teams. You’re not gonna win a one dimensional game vs better teams. And we know most teams will be able to score. That pit o today, play and coaching decisions, is one of the worst showings I have seen.

Agree. Minny fumbled the bag big time here. Darnold is a top tier QB in this league. Did they really think they had something better with JJ? They should’ve resigned Darnold and traded JJ.

Since we are talking about other teams players post game...this was Browns DT Shelby Harris today on Jauan Jennings. Based solely on these 18 seconds...I want him here.

Saved our season? I mean we ran for 240+ yards and if it wasn’t for the 2 turnovers we might’ve been up like 17-0 going into the half.

I'm just going to hope he plays himself back into shape for the playoffs if the Bills make it.

the great brandi carlile.
