Just seems like McDermott prefers his pass rushers to be conservative and always stay in their lane. Sometimes you gotta turn guys loose especially on 3rd down. Phillips was one of the few guys McDermott gave a longer leash to just get after the QB.

Attendance was pry all the season tickets sold

I really like McD. He reminds me of Tom Landry. It took Landry 12 years with the cowboys before he won the Super Bowl. He had a painful steak of losing big games in the playoffs before he finally won it all.

Hah! Watched ‘68 Planet of the Apes tonight. Give it a watch, you might reconsider.

I didn’t catch any of the game today. Is this first teams we’re talking because I thought the giants had one of the worst O-lines in the league. This would be concerning even if for only a drive or two.

No mention of Bosa, Sanders and Walker. Not surprised. Care to elaborate on what you saw from them?

Well the problem of getting off the field on 3rd down would clear up with some pressure. Look, I know it's preseason. I don't expect stunts, overloads, or DBs blitzing off the edge. But the Giants dropped back 51 (!) times, you would think that just once one of our guys could beat his man clean.

You're right that there's no evidence that Codrington will ever have more production as a cornerback than Shenault as a receiver but Shenault was never a punt returner in the NFL or in college whereas Codrington was among the NFL leaders last year. So Shenault has to prove he can handle those responsibilities in order to win that competition.

Keonta Jenkins is a 211 lb linebacker. I know the Bills tend to go for lighter, faster linebackers, but 211 lbs is a bit extreme even for them. Both of the Bills' starting linebackers, Milano and Bernard, have had some injury issues as lighter linebackers. If Jenkins makes the team (unlikely) or the PS, will the Bills try to get him to add some muscle? The alternative might be to see if he can convert to something of a hybrid DB/LB.

I'm 75, and I've been a Bills fan since 1963, so my time to see the Bills win a Lombardi is much more limited than most fans. I agree with everything you wrote, and if the Bills never win a Lombardi in my lifetime, it won't change the fact that McDermott's tenure as HC has been the best era of Bills football ever. Nothing is guaranteed in life, no matter how much someone wants something. Instead of being in perpetual angst about the Bills' lack of SB wins, some Bills fans need to apply the idea that "life is a journey, not a destination" to their fandom and enjoy the ride. It's the best one Bills have ever had so far. The last time I looked, Ben Johnson has won as many NFL games as a HC as you and I and the rest of the TSW members.

I dont think mcdermott is a bad coach. But i also dont think he is that great. how many of those wins are josh masking poor drafts and bad coaching? he has shown the ability to get out coached by the same dude over and over again. and for a guy who is always preaching about fundamentals and discipline. His defense lacks those things. Or they are sticking to scheme soo well that other teams clown them. hearing players after the last of the chiefs losses in the playoffs say they never saw the chiefs doing the things they did on tape before. But was shown on everynetwork of them doing those exact things all year says they arent prepared or coached well. like i said i dont think mcdermott sucks. But he isnt that good either. josh is saving a bunch of people jobs

I think mitches arm is powered by a 1978 ford pinto motor

Have you seen how large he is? He’s not going anywhere. I’m more concerned about the car

And just like that, Justin Tucker who?

Bills fans last year

I think Shavers is out 54th player...and we're going to IR designated to return someone.

Watched it last night and was more concerned not having the kids harnessed. He can make his choices. His children cannot.

I'm not jumping to a conclusion based off a preseason game though, I'm seeing it as a continuation of the past few years. They don't get a lot of sacks, they struggle against the run, 3rd & 15 may as well be an automatic 1st down, they give up big plays, are often injured, and competent offenses seem to chew them up. A few years ago we had a top 3 scoring D in the regular season multiple times, but then they fell apart in the playoffs, even with much better talent than we have now. So sure, they may manage to be a top 10 unit in the league during the regular season, and even their sack/turnover numbers might look decent. Just saying I'm not expecting too much. We've seen what McDermott wants to do for years now. The best thing I can say about him is he's able to coach up late round players, and his scheme covers for a lot of individual flaws (or at least it did when Leslie Frazier was still here). But I don't think our D is going to ever have a playoff game where they hold down Mahomes all day like the 2023 Ravens AFCCG or the Eagles in the SB this year or even the 2nd half/OT of the 2021 AFCCG with the Bengals.

Just think, we won 13 games last year and didn’t have a healthy Milano or even Bosa. We will win 14 games this year

30 year old live at home with parents incel gets red pilled by covidiots, acts out in most violent way. End of story.

I've only read on here and listened to the game. Is it safe to say Oline is an arrow down. It's so hard because I'm sure these guys are being told to play smart and just don't get hurt. There's no planning in place and I'm not sure anyone really wants to play these game to begin with.

What did the government, and their revenue enforcement wing (police) think was going to happen after they pulled their Gestapo bull#### for 2 years during the pandemic? Did they really think their lives wouldn't be in jeopardy at some point afterwards? In the words of my teenager, "be so for real".

I've heard some chatter about kids in the car while drifting and just him drifting at all (with possible risks and all. I don't know a whole lot about drifting tbh, but I hear you don't really go that fast. It's more about spinning wheels. Idk

I went into watching the game with two concerns... injuries and 3rd down defense. Other than a scare with Taron Johnson I think we were free of injury so thats a plus. However, 3rd down defense remains as horrible as it was all last season. Im still hugely concerned with this defense. Considering the investment put into this season, I shouldn't be. Bosa looked great though. Hope he can stay healthy.
