you're welcome. i always try to help those that can't help themselves.

I was trying to watch Wilson last night against the Raiders to figure out if he's lost a step. It was hard to tell. The biggest mistake the Bills have made recently at linebacker was not re-signing Tyrel Dodson which they had two chances to do. "In 2023 he competed for the starting middle linebacker position in the wake of Edmunds' departure in free agency, but lost out to Terrel Bernard, who had missed most of preseason. Despite this, Dodson would be thrust into the starting lineup himself when All-Pro Matt Milano suffered a season-ending leg fracture. Dodson finished the season with 10 starts and a career-high in playing time, with most of his snaps being on run defense. He was also graded as the Bills' most-improved player that season by Pro Football Focus, improving his score to 89.5, the second highest among linebackers league-wide, from a 2022 score of 48.4." He was signed by Seattle in 2024 and started 9 games for them before being waived in November. He was then signed by the Dolphins. "In Week 17, Dodson recorded 15 tackles, an interception, and a pass breakup in a 20-3 win over the Cleveland Browns, earning AFC Defensive Player of the Week. On March 13, 2025, Dodson re-signed with the Dolphins on a two-year, $8.25 million contract." Dodson has good size and elite explosiveness. He's a better linebacker by far than anyone on the Bills current roster. But you know McDermott loves Bernard... probably sees himself in Bernard...

He's still alive?

That’s certainly a choice. Good for you and thank you for your service.

I would absolutely love this version of Josh to be real.

They didn't "lose" the suspended guys, as they had never before taken a snap for the Bills (and at least one of them sucks anyway). And the injuries were not predominantly as the Bills were "entering the season". Even if that premise was true, it's the best scenario for a second year guy to step right up.

The surprising thing I noticed in going through the stats from the last month’s worth of Texans games is that they’re relying almost exclusively on Davis Mills throwing the football. You’d have thought they would be a run heavy offense with Stroud sidelined but that is definitely not the case. Given how poor our run defense has been I like the Bills chances if Houston continues relying on Mills to carry their offense. (Now watch Houston steamroll us for 250 on the ground. 🙄)

The season can't start soon enough...

obv im sad we are not in the cat bird seat for the division, but from a pure fandom POV, this current NFL is flipping really exciting and interesting.

i like to think i monitor all the rage bait you old men react to. this ***** is stupid.

It was 2 deep passes but that was the Peerless Price game where he caught the TD at the end. Every game there since has been a nightmare

That to me was Beane's great failure with the Coleman pick. Not that Coleman has not been (to date) the player that the Bills hoped for when they drafted him -- but that given that the position was one of such great need (in a draft that was reportedly the deepest at WR we had seen in some time) that they didn't double-down by taking a shot at another WR later in the draft. It's funny that Bean HAS done this at other positions in the past, including (as you mentioned) Elam/Benford. He also did this in the latest draft at both the CB as well as the DL positions. Sadly, he had ample opportunities to do so last year with multiple mid-round picks to navigate, and hindsight shows us that he could have used that late 3rd round pick (ironically acquired in the move-down that allowed the Chiefs to acquire Worthy) to take Franklin instead of Carter. What is even more irritating is that in their move-downs, they wound up with the 1st overall pick in the 2nd round, which allowed them overnight to re-think their strategy (and probably afforded them some additional trade options as that 33rd pick is a treasured commodity). I also can't buy that they were THAT enamored with Coleman -- otherwise they wouldn't have traded down TWICE and risked losing out on him. I know Beane was frantic about acquiring additional draft picks, especially since the team didn't originally have a 3rd due to the R. Douglas trade. But trade-downs like that when your biggest need is glaringly obvious means that you don't have a great conviction about a specific guy at that position -- which is why it made even MORE sense to hedge the bet by taking another WR on day 2 (or beginning of day 3). The funny thing is that when day 1 came to a close, I felt certain that they had their sights on Franklin. The team had met with him on multiple occasions, and I even remember one reporter stating at the conclusion of the 1st round that the Bills' taking Franklin to start the 2nd round was one of the rare certainties of the draft. The only thing I will say is that, given that the team DID their due diligence on Franklin, there must have been something they didn't like about him.

The 69 man/games lost by the Bills defense to injury and suspension in just 10 weeks. Not the best situation for a guy entering his 2nd season.

A different spin on the topic

Yeah I was just thinking that. It goes way back w this team. Last game we played them was ugly too. I hope Brady keeps trending in the direction of hammering Ty Johnson and Ray Davis more frequently, you can punish these teams w the speed edge rushers by lining up and hammering them. We have the Oline to do it, we need the OC to believe in it. It's needs to be a play action pass type game. Orlovsky keeps harping on this, confused as to why Brady do this more often. Josh had just one completion under pressure last time we played Hunter n Williams.

The Coleman hate-fest allows people to enjoy and indulge in Dion's public criticism of a teammate. IMO there was no reason to go public... words said to Coleman in private by a "respected team leader" should suffice. Dion has 4 false starts and 2 holding penalties and is playing at a lower level than last year but I guess when you get the keys to the city, you can say what you want when you want, regardless of your own performance.

I’m in no way feeling like they are a joke. I understand they are good. Who they played has alot more to do with then people are understanding but they are good. I’m just not afraid of them stopping us. We stop ourselves occasionally but almost nobody ever really stops us. That’s just reality

Looks like the npc's have a new buzzword. Like a hive mind. It's sad. But it's not brat. Remember that gem.

We are relying on politicians because the Department of Justice is failing us

TO could still benchpress Keon...in his driveway.

aka 'Cement Head'. Both for his hair, and his choke job. 😁😇 Don't confuse us with facts. We're dissing on the man. 😁

The BIlls have a higher ranked Offense (by a million miles) and Defense. They have won 20 games vs 22 for the Eagles over the last 2 years. Where is the "adversity" in that?

I probably wouldn’t. ⬆️ The hall monitor has arrived.
