I felt at one time that this was a Bills thing, but I think it is a league thing. The injuries across the entire league are alarming, and it seems like multiple causes. it will never happen, but modifying the TNF set up so teams have a bye the week before seems like it would help cutting down on some injuries. But I do think a lot of these guys are overtraining in the gym and undertraining re flexibility and mobility. I would love to hear a strength and conditioning coach outline the training regimens for these players.

Good game @B-Man Bona is just better but we kept it close.

This would be extremely hilarious if we, somehow, actually win the AFC title game to get the Super Bowl this season while the Eagles are sent home WITH Darius Slay already AT home on his couch the entire time. LOL.

We are at the angry social media post/discussion with the coach phase with Pickens. Next phase will be the coach: “i had a great meeting with George, and we will leave it at that.”

Does anyone collect/display #32 Bills stuff?

This feels like a shot at Darius Slay and/or Drew Rosenhaus, by Darnell Savage's agent 😂

The players that are missed that are impactful are Oliver, Hoecht, Kinkaid and Palmer. 3 of the 4 losses Kinkaid was missing. I don't think it's a coincidence the O looked lost in those games. This offense needs to be able to line up in 12, 13 and 22 to dictate to defenses because the WR room is weak. To be able to pass out of those formations reliably they need Kincaid and Knox together. When they can't do that, it tends to spell trouble. As for Palmer, I know he hasn't had a sizable impact yet, but he has a skillset that is missing in this O. He's the best route runner of the WRs and is one of the only guys (maybe THE only guy) that can regularly get separation vs. man to man. I'd had loved to see him and Josh start to click after enough time together. They just don't have the reps and I don't think they'll be able to get them by season's end. It takes time and he's missed too much of it.

It seems a little weird for a head coach with SB aspirations to choose two first time coordinators to run his offense and defense. And, yeah, hopefully they learning as they go and continuing improving. But look at KC in comparison: HC: Reid. A creative offensive guru, his track record speaks for itself. DC: Spags. Some say Spags, a former head coach, is the best DC in the league. Romo says he needs to be in the coordinator HOF (if there was one). OC: Nagy. Nagy, the NFL Coach of the Year in 2018, is known for creativity and QB development skills. Reid/Spags/Nagy might be the most talented, intelligent coaching triumvirate in the league. I like McD as a head coach but I don't think McDermott/Babich/Brady is in the same tier. Hopefully, they'll get there.

Has the O-line performed worse this year than last? Yes, it has. That’s not a revelation, it’s a reality across several areas of the offense. But even with regression from last year’s elite standards, the Bills’ O-line is still performing at a top-tier level relative to the rest of the NFL. That part hasn’t changed. I want to remind you why I originally responded: you said, “When the O-line is healthy they are bad at pass protection.” That was a bold claim, and it simply wasn’t supported by any available data. Since then you’ve shifted the goalposts to, “Well, the O-line isn’t as good as last year,” which is true, but irrelevant to your original statement. The discussion wasn’t about this year vs last year. It was about whether this line is “bad” at pass protection. The evidence says it isn’t. And if we’re talking about the passing offense struggling this season, the O-line is one of the last places to look. There are multiple, far more plausible reasons: • Joe Brady’s inconsistency • lack of top-end receivers • missing Kincaid and Palmer • Beane’s overall WR room construction • and yes, Allen himself at times It’s not a mystery the pass game hasn’t reached expectations. But reaching for the O-line, one of the clear strengths of the roster, as the culprit simply doesn’t make sense. If anything, the O-line (in both run blocking and pass protection), Cook, and Allen (to be clear, Allen has had his moments which is why I noted him above too) have been the stabilizing forces of the offense while everything around them has fluctuated. At this point, it’s fair to simply acknowledge that your original claim, that the O-line is bad at pass protection when healthy, was inaccurate. That’s why I responded in the first place: because it was an extreme statement that didn’t align with anything objective. Frustration with the broader offense is understandable, but attributing that frustration to the one unit that consistently grades near the top of the league is not. We can disagree on interpretations, but we can’t ignore what the data shows. And the data has not supported your position from the start.

I got a girlfriend that's better than this But you don't remember at all As we get older and stop making sense You won't find her waiting long

Am I a BILLS hoarder? No. But if they lose to the Bengals I may turn into a ... BILLS hater (For a season)

If they feel they need another outside corner, they'll bring Dane Jackson up from the PS. Not saying this is a great solution, but he's there when/if the need arises.

Let me guess you dominate your Madden league and send all out blitzes on most downs? The game of football is much different than the sport we watch. It's hilarious to see such takes. Thanks for entertaining me. "Bruce Smith didn't get a sack today, he sucks. 4 weeks in a row no sack" " He was chipped and then double teamed every time." " But he didn't get a sack and was always right about to get one before the QB moved up in the pocket." " He plays 34 DE" " He only has 7 sacks this year. Phil has 5 and much cheaper. We don't need Bruce." "Ok" I don't get it. I really don't get it.

Needs a Key & Peele skit.

Very soon European culture and society as we know it won't exist. Leaders there are obsessed with committing cultural suicide. And suppressing any dissent to their policies and practices. A comparison to the situation might be the experience of Native Americans when European explorers and settlers appeared on the scene. Soon enough their lands were seized, their customs erased, and their people killed. This is the fate of Europe at the hands of African and Middle Eastern "migrants". Europe will devolve into a 3rd world region. Was there ever a collective group of people claiming intellectual superiority over those protesting the path they've put their nations on that were more nefarious than leaders like Kerr Starmer?

I see your point, but I do think coaches play a role in tackling and gap integrity. Somebody on the Bills mentioned that the Bills D recently changed the standard from 'practicing until they got it right' to 'practicing until they couldn't get it wrong.' This is what made Vince Lombardi great. He wasn't brilliant at Xs and Os but he coached his guys up until they executed his limited playbook flawlessly. And that's been a strength of the McD defense in the past: superior communication and execution. It hasn't been a strength this year, though it seems to be improving. I acknowledge, though, that there are players who, no matter how much or well you coach them, will screw up come gametime.

Joe Burrows himself on the injured list every year. I've seen fans say they'd take him over Josh because at least Burrough got his team the super bowl. That's like saying hey I took her home last night ... So what if she didn't put out

I doubt we lose because of a game winning FG opportunity from Prater. He may miss a kick here and there but he’s usually clutch when the games on the line throughout his career

Well, I didn't say the number of sacks is meaningless. I said he doesn't take nearly as many if he was a non mobile QB behind that line. Pretty simple. The logic of mentioning sacks (and pressures) is to point out that the O-line, as far as how it protects Josh Allen this year, is both subjectively and objectively worse based on end results. I guess Allen is just squandering this top notch protection with poor QB play, no?

And we are better at home.

my autocorrect tries to make it burrows every time for some reason 😂

Gotta misspell his name. Nothing gets his fanboys more upset than that Joe Burrough. Joe Burrows. Joe Borrow. The famed QB from Ole Miss.

it’s a grass is greener thing…most bengals fans think he’s a bottom third coach or worse. I actually saw a few bengals fans that said ‘fire Taylor and hire Joe Brady’ which is about as strong evidence gets for the ‘grass is greener’ theory 😂

Doubt the Bills would let him; he’s a dead man walking, or sitting actually.
