Interesting that so many here are still calling him a 3T even though he’s lining up as a 1T at least half the time if not more to my eye. Walker can play both. I’m not sure what more a 4th rounder needs to show to be considered an immediate hit. Even if all he ever is is a quality 3rd DT (what he’s already giving us now), that pick is a winner. Fans are going to freak out when we inevitably have to pay to replace Daquan in FA next year but I’m in Walker and feel like between him and Ed and whatever we can get out of Sanders, our DT room is going to be a big plus for years to come.

This is one of the weirdest attempt to massage the numbers that I've ever seen ...

The better measure is absolute snap counts. 50+ is too much in my opinion. With our offense, I'd think the defense should be getting 60-70 snaps total. 30-40 snaps is what I think the target. I also like the fact that he mentioned stealing some 1st & 2nd down snaps in 1st & 2nd quarter. I take it as someone steals those snaps from him. That's good plan for a tight games. Unfortunately there is no one else capable of holding the edge better than him and Groot right now. So I don't know that plan is ever going to work.

Heat pumps are great ... in the right climate. It just won't work for me in Colorado, or in Northern NYS. Probably Buffalo is marginal? It doesn't get as cold thanks to the damn lake effect, but it's close. So yeah, bad plan if it doesn't differentiate Lake Placid from Staten Island ...

It's taking a while because Dion can't spend all his time delivering them. He sometimes has other things to do, like practice and games.

I’m blaming the guys who got extensions because they haven’t done anything either. Oliver makes about 6 plays a year and is too injured to be an impact the rest of the year. Rousseau feast on terrible teams and gets washed against others, let’s not bother with the LBs they are all made of glass and get bullied like a S by linemen. The whole defense sucks and it’s all starting with resigning mediocre time and time again.

This is a bad habit of fans. "X didn't win. Y lost" This gives zero credit to the absolutely awesome punch out by the 49ers rookie defender. The Rams didn't just drop the ball. That ball was violently punched out. It was a great play by the defense.

Check the comments in TikTok. Bunch of butthurt Lamar fans. 😁

NY's Draft State Energy Plan is at this link: https://energyplan.ny.gov/Get-Involved/Comment also at the link, is a link to a form to submit your feedback. Many people heard about all-electric new home construction starting this January. What many people don't know, replacing natural gas water heaters, stoves, furnaces after 2030 is prohibited--if your gas equipment goes kaput after 2030, you must buy an electric solution (most likely a heat pump). Many people don't know this and many people don't know the ramifications. For me, a heat pump is a non-option for many reasons I won't detail here. It may be the case for you too. And my gas stove or hot water heater... they can pry those from my cold dead hands. You might also have opinions on: the readiness of the power grid to do this, the price of electricity, the demand for electricity in the age of AI data centers, the ban on what they used to call "clean burning natural gas" etc. You may have all kinds of opinions. Let Albany know your thoughts!

Rams have some serious weapons! Their D was getting shredded by ex pats. The goal line fumble was a killer, and shanked kicks. Also, I think Shanahan is a choker. I will never forgive him for giving the Pats that SB. Terrible choke like 13 seconds

Now that we’re getting closer, I’d actually take $450 to know that it’s going to a fellow Bills fan.

Not ready to kick him to the curb yet, but he also looked poor in the preseason and camp compared to Gore. His regular season stats (2.6 ypc) mirror his preseason stats (1.71 ypc). He was at 4.6 (PS) and 3.9 (RS) as a rookie. All signs point towards a regression.

Great stuff, had not read those quotes yet. The fact that he wants to be out there more, more than we had thought when signed, is such a promising sign for what he will do this year and in the future. As he seems to be enjoying it so much here, having a great time on a winning team, that I think he will want to be here long term, even if it may mean a little less money. And this will get much better once the defense is fixed, I think. And I believe that fix is on the horizon. Hope so, as he likely has several good years left as he is only 30.

Hot meaning everyone seems to be using it the last few years or so. I remember listening to Joe Marino last year after that dolphin game and he was going off saying the EPA was good But let's put it this way- If we are using PFF analytics to determine whether a defence is good or bad, that's not exactly the most credible source lol

EDIT: Does Tarheel have a trans kid who won't speak to him just like Elon Musk does? Seems personal.

I was watching last night and thinking about how the 49ers in particular, and the Rams generally, are designed the same way the Bills are. The announcers, as usual with those two, completely missed the point. The 49ers weren't good last night because some substitutes had incredible games. The substitutes, like Jones, had incredible games because of how the 49ers are designed. They have a true team philosophy. Like the Bills, the 49ers expect every player at every position to execute his job, and his job is designed to blend with the jobs of the other 10 guys. Every starter and every starter learns the same job for his position. What that means is that when a player goes down, they have another guy to plug in who executes the same stuff the starter executed, only just not quite as well. It's a great system, because every team loses guys to injury during the season, but when a guy goes down, the team isn't designed around his special talents. There's always a guy behind him who knows the same job. So, when Purdy goes down, he can be replaced not because he isn't very good in the first place, but because another NFL-quality guy has been studying and practicing the exact same role. The 49ers were missing all those guys, but it's a team designed as a true team, so next man up works pretty well. Compare the 49ers to the Bengals, who are designed around have a QB and two great receivers. When one of the receivers goes down, the offense begins to struggle, because his part of the design cannot be replaced. When the QB goes down, well, that's a huge problem. What does that say about the Bills? Well, first, for 21 positions, if a guy goes down, he can be replaced. We see it every week. That's why a guy like Cam Lewis is so valuable - he can play multiple positions, and he knows exactly what he's supposed to do. But what about Allen? Obviously, he can't be replaced. But look at how his game has evolved. This season, the team is relying even less on his greatness, and more on his ability to execute the offense at a high level. And that's why they have Trubisky. He is a veteran, smart QB, and he can come in to execute the same offense. He can't make every throw and every run Allen can, but he can play the position as it's designed to be played, so the whole playbook remains open. It's a good style to play for the regular season. As we've seen, both with the Bills and with the 49ers, it doesn't necessarily work so well in the playoffs.

Remember during the drought when we would loose a close game? Not because we were as talented but we had played a good game. .. It’s the opposite side of the coin. We are now the team winning those games. .. Not always by a lot but WINNING

I hear what you're saying and I agree 2022 was the year where the heavens plotted against the bills, but Von Miller before injury was that good I still think they'd have made it if he'd been healthy. Unfortunately the Gods didn't want it. Didn't help that Josh had a massive fight with his gf the night before the bengals game which effectively ended the relationship either (so I was told)

He isn't playing...isn't that kind of the point of the whole thread And yes the standard for a 3rd round pick is higher than the later rounds It is great Walker looks good and that Hawes is making an impact. There is no doubt Beane has a track record of finding great value in the later rounds. But the track record of mid round misses is worthy of commentary Not dressing for four games does not mean he is destined to be Basham 2.0. But it is still disappointing

He's also 41 and coming off a torn knee. His leg is still good but he looks to not have the power he once did pre-injury at age 40.

while hes had a seemingly annoying amount of near tackles of RB's that were missed..... He has already forced 4 fumbles in 4 games to lead the NFL I'd like to see his snap count brought down to 45-50% instead of 75%+ I think that's the sweet spot for his efficiency and success rate to be elite all season if he can stay on the field

Not the orange moron that all the world leaders are laughing at. But Pelosi ripping up papers. Good one JD. MAGA has zero self awareness https://newrepublic.com/post/201262/european-leaders-laugh-trump-fake-peace-deal-armenia-albania

2022 that team was both massively hurt (even beyond the Von injury) and flawed (Offensive line issues and no WR2 or any help outside of Diggs at pass catcher). Hyde went down early and that hurt the defense. Pretty much the entire D-line was hurt going into that Bengals team. It was the Bills "year from hell" they just had two star talents on offense (Diggs and Josh) and enough depth on defense to patch it together and go 13-3. But that team was just not destined to go the distance that year even if Von was healthy.

Yes, of course, on Schwartz, a no brainer here, compared to what we have. And in general, a high level defensive mind and coordinator. And having a great year now, maybe his best, creating the best defense in the NFL on a team without a high level offense. The Cleveland defense after 4 weeks: #1 in total defense #1 in run defense #4 in pass defense I like him a lot as a DC, but sometimes it seems, and when here, that the type of defense he coaches breaks down more than the defenses of some of the other top DC's like Fagio's and others. Maybe they take too many chances at times, when not needed, and so then be exploited by good OC's ?? While I am fairly convinced, at least for now, that McD will soon take over for Babich, and turn things around dramatically, like Brady did, I think McDermott is too concerned with the big picture as head coach, with all aspects of his team, to be the defensive coordinator long term. So, will not want to continue to do that in the 2026 season if he is the guy for the rest of this year. So, let's hope for a Cleveland collapse!, the firing of their head coach, and Schwartz wanting out, or getting tossed out with the rest, as he is likely a very good choice for the Bills again. I know this will get some negative feedback but for a while have thought the combination of his defensive ideas and coaching philosophy and McD's would make for a superb long term defense for the Bills.

I’m not familiar with this but don’t doubt it’s under diagnosed. its like with Asperger’s. Used to just sound like a diagnosis with a funny name in the 2000s. But now we have all this knowledge about autism
