But even in the Pats game the issue was more that Allen was just mentally way off...had happy feet, bailed from clean pockets where if he waited a half second longer guys were coming wide open, wasn't taking wide open rush lanes in front of him and would force passes instead. Most of all there were multiple times he had easy layups that he has been taking for the past year and a half that he just refused to take. I'm not sure what it is but for whatever reason, Allen and the Bills in general seem to have a 2 game stretch every year in mid October where they look completely out of sorts and like they forgot how to play football. Then we never see it again. Last year it was against Baltimore and Houston back to back...

It's gonna be a bit muggy...but still not as bad as the heat stroke game a few years ago.

So glad you had that "speed bump"! My wife has been instrumental in my treatment. I told her right from the outset that I was bipolar. When I first moved back to Buffalo, I had no health insurance and was off my meds for a week. At one point, she said the look in my eyes was a look she had not seen before or had not seen since. I was able to get Erie County temporary prescription coverage, got meds, and we were off and running. With Jen (my wife), all I have to do is tell her that I feel like I'm having a bipolar moment, and she stops what she's doing, asks me questions on how I'm feeling, and encourages me to message my PA or therapist. Then she keeps a close eye on me to see if I'm tracking in the right direction. I'm glad you have not been back to that dark place. Like you said, it's not always easy.

Did I miss something?

On OBL today, when Brown presumed Benford was injured in practice Tasker said not necessarily. Sometimes a player is injured during a game and it doesn't manifest until the next day or so. It could have been noted at the beginning of practice and thus not mentioned by McD in the presser, but listed afterwards after they held him out of practice.

And honestly I'd like them to triple down. We tried opening up the pass against Atlanta and it went horribly. New England is our only opponent this year that has really managed to shut down our run. Other than that when we commit to Cook being the identity of our offense that is when we look our best. I'm not interested in getting any of these WRs more targets other than maybe Palmer when he's healthy. The offensive gameplan against KC was ideal - feed Cook, funnel the pass game through the TEs, pepper in some PA out of multiple TE sets, spam screens to Shakir and the RBs. If you consistently do all that, then you'll get the occasional downfield pass to a WR like we had to Moore because the defense is over committing elsewhere. I hope Brady keeps leaning into that identity because it's what our personnel is built to do. Forget all of the outside noise about the passing game. Commit to our strengths and live with the result.

The is a point neither made nor accepted enough. McD has this almost kryptonite view of turnovers that he determined the only offense which can work is one where the franchise QB would rarely throw the ball downfield. An offense with complete balance running and passing, the latter typically within 10 yards of the LOS. Josh's advanced passing metrics bear this out. https://www.pro-football-reference.com/years/2025/passing_advanced.htm Intended air yards on pass attempts: 21st Intended air yards per attempt: 26th Completed air yards: 19th Completed air yards per completion: 20th This is the offense McD wants and the one he believes should work no matter what defenses do against them. That's coaching stubborn.

I have met more Bills fans recently who have no ties to Buffalo than ever before. They love Josh Allen.

You sound like an idiot trying to change the subject. Fail

This a thousand times over. It's a shame that too many still see it as a "weakness" as if one can simply choose not to have it. It should help people understand just how overwhelming mental illness can be when a man making millions of dollars and living his dream chooses this over life.

Yeah, I am not talking about we have to find solutions for problems we don't have solutions for...I am simply wanting them to use the solutions we DO have to fix other issues. IMO, the offense chooses to eliminate needing a WR1 by it's design in most cases. I think we need to just accept that they have decided to choose a different way of getting it done than most teams do and although we might not agree with it, it's extremely effective as they are one of the most efficient teams on offense since they have done it, lead the NFL in offense and have averaged over 30 points a game the last 1.5 years, which is the best in franchise history. Most teams are looking to get 300 yards passing and 100 yards rushing to get to 400 yards of offense while the Bills are perfectly happy to have 165 yards rushing and 235 yards passing to get to 400 yards.

Yes, 27.47 was identified as the peak age for TEs. Knox will turn 29 in a week. People generally don’t get faster as they get older. https://apexfantasyleagues.com/peak-age-nfl-tight-end/

I stay far, far away. That place is a cesspit.

Bosa's hand in a club doesn't sound ideal. Rest whoever needs it, we need guys healthy.

Rest in Peace ❤️

Sure get him some targets out of the slot, just understand we're not talking Cole Beasley in his prime here. And that still doesn't solve the overarching problem with this passing offense which is that we have no one who you can plant outside the numbers and expect him to separate consistently. Palmer is ideally a WR3 but he is the best option we have for that role so our only solution is get him healthy and hope that that is enough.

The WR Choo Choo says otherwise

Not worried about the secondary...we've had far worse against the Fins when they had Prime Hill and Waddle and shut them down, they can do it with lesser talent and no Hill now.

In regard to the downfield passing game, I know he's not a WR but we need to see Kinkaid's snap count % move from about 50% to more like 75%. He's an under utilized weapon.

Which should terrify the NFL since they are the #1 offense already

How many years ago was it the mindset was RBs are 'a dime a dozen'? 🤔

Absolutely agree with you @Big Turk. I’ve felt this way for a long time. Last year: barely threw to MVS, went and got Cooper and used sparingly. This year - barely throw to Samuel or Moore, before injury Palmer was getting minimal targets. Coleman isn’t in the right role outside. Move him to inside quick hitters and use his RAC ability. I don’t want to hear the “lack of separation argument” any more. All 22’s show some separation at times but coaching isn’t putting these guys in the right spots to get even more separation.
