It was too clever. Put in a jumbo package that includes Anderson and Hawes and make like a Buffalo snowplow in January. The play depended too much on a part-time right tackle to pull and execute. Had the Bills lost that game, that play would’ve been one they looked at as a contributing factor.

My thoughts are the Bills are a Ferrari that realizes to ensure a longer lifespan on the engine you don't need to floor it to 200 mph when you are racing against Honda Civics. You simply need to drive 5 mph faster and then step on the gas a little when needed to coast to victory. Similar to driving a Ferrari where you know how much fuel you have and how far the closest gas station is from yo, this team is pacing itself which is smart because you cannot burn up that amount of emotional and mental energy every week for 17 weeks and expect to be at your best going into the playoffs. You just can't. Unless you want to see a repeat of the Cincinnati game where the team looked dead from having burnt it all during the year and having nothing left. Stop expecting them to "show what they can do" when it's not needed. I think they have a pretty good grasp on what is needed every game to get the Dub based on their record over the last 5.5 years. The goal is to be peaking heading into the playoffs late in the year, not in week 4.

What are you talking about? That slow punter is the Bills biggest weapon this side of Josh Allen RtP flops.

Please don't use this argument. There are people all over question what the Bills have beat. The Bills are 4-0 and their opponents have 1 win TOTAL so far. 1 WIN. if not for the respect of Josh Allen, Bills would be treated like the Colts prior yesterday.

They could have taken Deonte Walker or Jackson Hawes! I bet those guy would be contributing. Oh wait...

Cook and the OL were phenomenal, Cook is easily a top 5 back I'd say

This is not what I saw at all. There were a bunch of deep shots in the second quarter that were incomplete. And on all of those, you could see guys open underneath who probably could have gotten the first. Someone, either Josh Allen or Joe Brady, went away from what was working to try to open up the passing game. Then they went back to what was working on the first drive of the third quarter, and in retrospect, that was all she wrote. In general, there is a risk in downfield passing. They are lower-percentage plays that can either result in INTs or incompletions that put you behind the sticks. Those incompletions put a team in obvious passing downs, reducing the effect of the running game. Everything in football comes with a tradeoff. The Xs and Os of that are what make the game so great.

UP Bishop -- Clearly the hero of the game Kincaid -- Blocked his a$$ of then was rewarded with gift route covered by a non-secondary type dude Shakir -- Shaked and baked his way to a TD.. The YAC-meister DOWN Punt team -- Getting punters killed two weeks in a row Benford -- Where has he been on coverage? Gave up another TD pass Van Demark -- Struggled in pass pro leading to at least one sack

Not sure you're missing anything. Neither guy was anything special on their previous teams. People also seem to be very optimistic that Ed Oliver will suddenly become a consistent force in his 7th season, despite always being the type of player to be awesome for one game and then disappear for multiple weeks... And that Matt Milano will return and stay healthy for the first time since 2022... And that Maxwell Hairston will become an impact player as a rookie, even though he missed most of training camp/preseason and hasn't played a single snap yet... Personally, I'm hoping we can figure out why Greg Rousseau, Terrell Bernard, Taron Johnson, Christian Benford and Taylor Rapp have all massively regressed over the first month of the season.

C- for the line? That seems harsh. I have seen David Edwards throwing people around in the first half. A couple of bad plays from vandermark but nothing bad.

Is that the point? How do we know he wasn't an evangelical Christian who thought the Mormons were perverting Christ's message and destroying their members' path to salvation? In other words, a religious warrior? How do we know he didn't despise Mormons because Utah Gov Spencer Cox - a Mormon - gave a measured and mature response to the Charlie Kirk killing? Did Dylan Roof murder members of a black church because he hated religion? Or because he hated black people? Or because he was a highly disturbed young man clearly on the autism spectrum? Did the Minnesota would-be serial assassin kill because he was extremely religious and thought he victims were not sufficiently religious, i.e. heathens? Since @Joe Ferguson forever is on a little logical fallacy kick, I'll point out that this one is called the Narrative Fallacy. We want random and particularly evil events to be explained by something, well, explainable. Me too. I blame a sick culture in general, and not limited to one side of the political spectrum or the other.

Yes, the "no trades with your rivals" thing is the amateur approach. Make the best deals you can where you can get them.

I know him! He's the guy in those Corona commercials with Snoop Dog!

They do have to be able to keep up and possibly protect themselves from some of the biggest athletes in the world

You wrote, "Who said better options were available. It’s not like there were 1st and 2nd round talents that we passed upon." I didn't claim or imply there were top-notch talents in the third round. I merely said there were likely better prospects at non-premium positions. According to you, I'm wrong because a) no better options were available than Jackson at any position when he was picked; and b) if there were, it's meaningless to point that out. Heads you win, tails I lose.

All of a sudden, I’m very concerned (again) about KC

I mean Khalil Shakir's TD, hello...Cook's TD run against the Jets, hello... those are terrible tackling jobs too...but yet we think the Bills are the only team that struggles with it.

Ravens have Houston at home next who are also 1-3. If Lamar doesn’t play, they could fall to 1-4 with the Rams next. The Steelers have a legit shot of winning the AFCN. Early playoff predictions: BUFFALO kc Pitt Indy Chargers Jax ?

Was he a Jan 5er that Trump pardoned? Probably

I get why people feel this way but it’s a silly way to run a business. We work with firms all the time that are our “competitors”. It can be mutually beneficial if done right. You make the best deal for your team, and forget the rest Check back next week!

I had a deja vu on that TD

It's officially New York Vs Massachusetts week. New York has the MVP's. Going to be an awesome week!

They’re seemingly quite relevant now in WNY … an area that, for better or worse, is usual a decade behind in most things currently relevant

The Patriots* have wins over teams with a combined 1-6 record. They lost to a bad Raiders team and a mediocre Steelers team. Why are so many people scared of this game? The Patriots* are nothing more that an average team (at best) that has won games against the bottom feeders of the league. Of course, anything can happen on Sunday, but this is not a game that the Bills (or fans) should fear. It is not a "tough game". This board is full of spoiled fans that can't just enjoy the fact that the Bills are one of the top teams in the league. If they win, it is not by a large enough margin. People would rather talk about the possible mistakes made in past drafts than enjoy the fact the Bills are the only undefeated team in the AFC. Toughen up cupcakes and enjoy the ride to the 1 seed! The Bills are going to crush the pats* and demoralize their fans.

Bills were favored by 14.5 and didn't cover, winning by 12. Make of it what you will 🤷‍♂️
