Collinsworth is very intelligent. And has access to all of the work on tendencies work that PFF does on our team and all of them as he's part-owner of the company. What Collinsworth said that was interesting and useful was the stuff about running 70% of the time when you were under center and passing 70% of the time when in shotgun. That's not calling the plays, dude. It's sharing a tendency, a statistic. The Bills have undoubtedly known that tendency themselves. And the offense has been WILDLY successful despite it. The Pats took advantage. So at this point the Bills now have to make themselves a bit more unpredictable. On the other hand, that was far from the main problem. Much bigger was what they did with their pass coverages. They were doing some really nice schematic things to confuse Allen. They threw in some really complex stuff. That was confusing Josh, slowing his processing down. Now teams have an idea, from watching the tape, about what we tend to do. Equally, though, we now have some tape on what the Pats did and what teams are likely to try to slow Josh down. We will use that tape just as defenses are using ours.

Said it all off-season, I would not have extended Greg Rousseau and Terrel Bernard. At least not until I saw how their 2025 went. With Bernard, he regressed in 2024 and he's started to show a penchant for getting dinged up. So far this year, it's felt like more of the same. He makes a big play every once in a while, like the Baltimore game. But the only true consistency is that the pass game and run defense beyond the line of scrimmage is terrible. With Rousseau, if he's so valuable, why have we spent every off-season saying "we need a premier Edge Rusher"? If we want one of them, we have to pay Parsons/Garrett money and that's unlikely to happen while you're paying Rosseau 20m a year on the other side. I feel as though Beane follows the "Draft, Develop, Retain" mantra too much, to a detriment. We are consistently in a spot every off-season where we're begging for game changers but cannot afford to get them bc we're up against the Cap. People were advocating for going all out this off-season on additions, even if it meant we wouldn't re-sign any of them. I knew that wouldn't happen and that we needed to retain 2-3. But even I didn't think we'd sign *all 5*.

While it's true, it's true of every team. Every team does things differently. The ones that are successful put out a lot of stuff on tape. Eventually good teams figure it out. This is true of EVERY TEAM. EVERY TIME. What then comes about is whether the team can adapt to the tactics that are successful against them. The Bills have been through this dozens of times. They've been pretty damn successful adapting, though at times it took them some time (going from Dorsey to Brady took some time, for instance). But successful. I think they'll adapt. No way to be sure till it happens. But that's the likelihood.

Ask yourself this: How many games do the Bills go into and your convinced they have a coaching advantage ?

So far the results of that gauntlet drill are highly overrated. Dalton's obvious improvement this season has been extremely encouraging. Keon on the other hand is an enigma?

Kincaid looking great, Hawes looking good too. Knox, with the drops and the fumble and the big salary, is looking less necessary. Now if we had a great downfield receiver we could be unstoppable, like 1991 Bills level or Chiefs with prime Kelce and Tyreek.

Nothing against the standing buffalo but I’d rather have an extra game with the red helmets

Didn’t it say that Sanchez threw the guy against a dumpster after being stabbed by him ? Then he took off. Doesn’t sound like Sanchez was going to murder him but what do I know ?

Based on last weeks crapola no wonder they wore those awful uniforms

They are the problem

I was just answering the question about why he's controversial.

I'm sorry if I got you heated. I wasn't reporting on news. It was an opinion. This culture is really about Josh Allen, James Cook, and our great o-line. Sprinkle in some Shakir and Kincaid. On defense, there is a culture there, "a losing can't tackle, can't sniff out the run, can't make crucial 3rd down stops" culture. Been happening for the last 4 years. "Bounce back" wins gets harder to do as they age. Just ask Mahomes and Chiefs and Lamar Jackson and Ravens. Our defense will be the same vs. Atlanta Falcons. We shouldn't be penciling a win here.

But...but...I can see the players' numbers! 🙁

These uniforms will cleanse the Bills of their Sunday night travesty.

119 out of 390 left. I lost 1 of my 2 picks last week with Arizona choking. Philadelphia on Thursday night to roll the Giants.

I had been thinking GB over Cincy, until Flacco was signed. Haven’t completely decided yet, but may go Steelers over Browns.

Is like to see him put back to back 6 to 9 catch 100yrd games to be convinced he's taken that step. He's thisclose.

Thanks. This is actually a very thoughtful essay on the whole tragedy.

Happy arraignment day.

Late Stage capitalism with regulatory capture is strangling the wealth out of the average person. It’s pretty clear cut what the cause of it is. legalized bribery via corporate lobbyists for the last 20 years have only accelerated it. I’ll get off my soapbox now.

Who exactly is this news to? We are on the road as only a 3.5-pt favorite, against a team coming off a bye. Of course we could lose. Now I happen to think the Bills bounce back here, win and cover. What is even the point of McDermott and his "culture" if it isn't to have a strong bounce-back win here? We have to show our character here.
