Oh yeah Completely different being a Yale graduate and being a high school coach or division 3 coach lol NFL coaches one of 32 in the world so that's more prestigious than most things.. you can even retire early from that and do something till you're 60

But Cook and Davis make a dynamic one two punch, as they have such different styles of running. Using Davis more, such as in situations yesterday in Pittsburgh, would open the offense up more, enabling an even better running attack and opening up the passing game which is much needed right now. It would rock a defense even more that way, demoralize them more. And that lack of diversity in the running game would likely change because different backs do better in different plays and have different styles for defenses need to focus on. Even more importantly, with the lack of a good wide receiver group, using two backs more, and getting all of the backs involved in the passing game MUCH more help the passing game come alive. Get these dynamic pass catchers the ball! Been saying that for the last few years, thought this year that would be the case from the get go. It has not. A poor use of some of the best offensive talent on the Bills right now. But I agree on the lack of pass catchers, and Beane seems to just be digging his heels in now during the season.. Why not sign Jacobi Myers when he was available? And even more recently, Thielen?? Makes no sense--how could Beane look at what the Bills have and determine those two players are not upgrades for the dismal wide receiver group? Makes me lose some hope in this year.

Blood pressure pills I stopped caring whether Notre Dame wins in the natty or not I just told myself it's never going to happen ever again a decade ago lol I think Oklahoma is in a better position to actually win a National championship whenever long-term

I'm looking forward to HOU@KC more than Bills game. And I will root against the Chiefs. Maybe my hate towards KC has gone too far...

I’m more so speaking of the Steelers, but if it had to come down to it I’m picking the ravens whom we’ve beaten twice in the playoffs over the Texans.

Sorry I don't agree. Buffalo having any path that doesn't include either the Ravens or Chiefs is the best possible path. And yes. I watched the Houston game... I'll take my chances with JA17 getting a 2nd chance against Houston over Lamar or Mahomes. Gimme the easiest path please.

Bills 5 wrs Gabe Palmer Shakir Shavers Cooks Coleman - inactive?

Stats are like a bikini - at first glance they appear to reveal a lot, but upon closer inspection they tend to conceal the important bits.

Mmm hmmm https://www.factcheck.org/2020/04/the-white-house-spins-trumps-disinfectant-remarks/ um, yeah... we were there to witness the whole enchilada. To his credit, at least pre RFK Jr., he actually did get effective treatment concepts... such a vaccines, 'warp-sped'. With all that said, his mind now appears on par with a sprouting potato. Can any of y'all address the original concept of this thread, or is it all going to be, "yeah, but Obama..."?

Until the Chefs are truly out and conquered for the season…

Well apparently Bill Maher and Zohran Mamdani have found a way to deal with him. But they are better men than I We have a President who invites the leader of a nation of one of the most consequential wars of the past century, then sigs his little lap-B word on him over his wartime attire?? Seriously??? Where was Vance to mock a leader of the 911 harborers and a journalist murderer? A man wearing a dress and tiara to meet the President of the United Stares? Oh wait... now I get the confusion.

I'm already done with Davis to be honest. Dropped a TD against Tampa, failed to get both feet inbounds at the end against Houston on a play that might have won us the game, had his typical route miscommunication with Allen leading to an INT against Pittsburgh. I'm so over it. Targets in his direction are 50/50 whether they'll be a big play or a complete disaster. It's actually starting to lean more 40/60. We worked so hard to remove Davis' brand of chaos from the game script only to welcome it back because we put ourselves in a corner. I'm good with Brandin Cooks taking his job permanently. Four things I immediately want to see less of in this offense, in this order: 1) Passes to Elijah Moore - one down, three to go 2) Passes to Gabe Davis 3) Passes to Knox 4) Forward passes to Shakir By and large these plays have been black holes in our offense all year long.

Shavers will be here at least through 2026 (as he's under contract through next year) and will get a jersey every week as a bottom of the depth chart WR for his blocking and Special Teams alone. He really doesn't provide much as a WR (the Tampa Bay game had more to do with them having a *terrible* Pass D) - but he does what you want out of a 5th WR. Which is play Teams and Block your tail off.

Kincaid is definitely our most important pass catcher. He's the only one that Allen inherently trusts, which is a big step forward from last year when the two were frequently not on the same page. It is weird though that we're calling him a key player when he was only in on 41.5% of snaps prior to injury. But he's been ridiculously efficient with a 155.6 passer rating when targeted. He's mostly useless in the run game because there are just better blockers than him on the roster, but our pass game is almost non-functional when he isn't on the field.

I go back to the play calling and game plan against Houston, in not working. In the Bills second series, they ran for 6 yards on first down and then a negative-2 yard pass to Shakir (the dreaded WR screen?) Then a 2-yard run and a punt. Cook had 17 carries for 116 yards at a 6.8 yard per carry average in that game, and yet Joe Brady called for 34 passes. Not just any passes, but mid to deep passes with minimal pass protection against a great defensive front. That's what went wrong in that game. If the play calls were similar to what he called against the Steelers I'd wager it's a win.

Jim has aged very, very well... and what can you say about Rich Eisen? Thank you for posting.

This is some solid work. Ill be pretty on edge but optimistic wherever we go. No mahomes or burrow in the playoffs, idk I think this is probably as good as it gets

I personally agree with you. I just think they'll be in a better head space once they get that 1st championship out of the way before they play KC again. KC missing the playoffs helps a ton. We can knock Cincinnati out too this Sunday Jmo

We already have the answer to that. We've seen what happens. It doesn't matter if it's a good team or a team like the Falcons or the Dolphins. If the run is shut down early and/or a team gets the lead on us and we need to pass the ball to stay in the game - it's Game Over. The only hope we have (and it's not a likely one) is that Dalton Kincaid comes back 100% and stays healthy, Brandin Cooks is able to turn the clock back and play his best ball in years (or at least draw attention away from Davis and Shakir), Brady is able to call better games, and we develop at least an adequate passing attack with Kincaid, Shakir, Cooks, and Davis down the stretch. As it stands right now and has been the case for the past 8 weeks, where we've gone 4-4 - if we can win the line of scrimmage and Cook goes off, even when they're scheming to stop it, we're in decent shape. But that's not going to happen on a week to week basis and especially not against the best teams in Football playing their best. If we continue playing the way that we play and aren't able to develop some kind of passing attack, we're going nowhere fast. And *any* team, whether they're the best or worst team in the league, can beat us simply by playing good Run Defense.

Just like the Patriots In the second half of Brady's career when he didn't have gronkowski they didn't win When he had gronk he won in the playoffs If the bills have Kincaid I like our chances if we don't it's going to really really hurt us He is a legitimate mismatch who will go for a hundred if the bills need him to

I think Anthony is very talented but we have a lot of depth including probably some better defensive guys There will be some games where he's going to have to get a spark and score 10 or 15 I always thought he was a 2 and done or three and done player.. and he will grow as a player even as his body matures in the next year

I’ve done some thinking over the past week about the upcoming bills games, seeding, ect.. and there’s one blaring problem that prevents Buffalo from making a run in the playoffs. That problem has to do with home field advantage. It’s pretty clear by now we aren’t winning the division, the patriots likely have that locked up barring an utter collapse like the dolphins in 2023. But one thing sticks out to me, and is the fix to the problem that can propel Buffalo going on a run. It has to do with the 5 seed.. let me explain. I have done some playoff generators and this is what I’ve concocted as the most likely/best case scenario for Buffalo (being the 5 seed) 1. Broncos/Patritos (flip flop it, it doesn’t matter to my point) 2. Broncos/Patritos (flip flop it, it doesn’t matter to my point) 3. (AFC south winner) 4. (AFC north winner) 5. Buffalo 6. (2nd place in AFC south) 7. Chiefs/3rd spot in AFC south/Chargers/ect. The reason Buffalo needs the 5 seed is to have the chance to play the winner of the AFC north. It’s clear to everyone the AFC north is lacking right now, and with how the playoffs work and division winners ect, the ravens/steelers will likely be the 4 seed. Buffalo has an amazing record against the AFC north since Josh Allen has been at the helm, especially in the playoffs, being 3-1. (Loss vs cinci). If Buffalo can get the Steelers, or really, even the ravens in the first round it would be the dream scenario. While some on this forum may think I’m “thinking ahead too much”, or that Buffalo shouldn’t worry about who they play on their playoff schedule and to just “beat who they play”, I would have to disagree. The bills have struggled on the road in the playoffs, and with it being more and more likely by the passing week that Buffalo will be a wild card team, this is what is going to have to happen. The bills will need a weak wild card weekend opponent to make a run. Go Bills and thanks for reading

I'm sorry, does English confuse you?
