I think this might be Spector's 3rd call up if not mistaken. Amazingly he has not pulled a hammy yet...

Thank you for more math and less football. There's nothing sneaky about him being good if you're actually watching him play instead of cherry-picking numbers to advance a narrative you've decided to dedicate yourself to.

Excited to see what Fox brings to the table. Spector, not so much.

Well I don’t see Josh’s name, Cam

The OL coach works with the OC I’d rather have Kromer as OL coach. For whatever reason he hasn’t been offered an OC position in over 10 years. I think he’s in the right spot and is one of the best.

I don’t think it is that interesting. If you have a guy who is in the top 10 conversation year after year, you pay him. You don’t dump them shooting for a perennial top 3 guy. Those guys are usually Hall of Famers. How many HoF or HoF trajectory QBs have been drafted since Aaron Rodgers in 2005? Wilson, Mahomes, Allen, Lamar is the entirety of the list. Maybe one more that we don’t know yet, but Wilson wasn’t more than a top 10 guy for a lot of his career. So hoping you can find 1 of 4 give or take QBs over 20 years is not a good strategy.

no

Good point and it would be great if he was able to help!

You see the chart I posted over the whole season, relative to his pears. Sacks, TFLs, QB Hits. Underperforming on a per game basis relative to everybody in his pay range. It's not unreasonable to use objective tools in context over large samples vs your subjective view on how sneaky good he is.

Good point.

I think it's supposed to be "attaboy". And yes, the coaching staff deserves it. Not so much the GM.

Would like to think this means Kincaid plays since Latu isn’t called up. But since they would have to sign Latu to the active roster for this call up, it is still a mystery until 11:30 Sunday.

Sure, but buffoons are going to buffoon. There's multiple layers here, which makes it more damning. You can't hide the buffoon, so let's hope he wisens up or gets dealt with

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)
