Three months recovery will leave Burrows the chance to start at most about four more games. Cincinnati could already be out of the playoff hunt.

I hope so. I get the sense that Brady loves having 3 versatile TEs (plus Gilliam), and I think we’ll start seeing some real creativity with these guys as the season goes on. I think it gives us a lot of ways to really effectively attack a defense.

I don't entirely disagree with your "unpopular opinion." The coaching DEFINITELY matters a TON, as does surrounding talent, but I agree that a QB prospect's own drive and ability to process criticism and failure with humility, while also maintaining the confidence necessary to perform under duress, is/are the most essential component(s). It's a rare combination of factors that coalesce to allow a young QB to improve and excel in the NFL. Caleb Williams appears to have some REALLY bad tendencies to hold the ball and to throw from bad bases too often. His insane arm talent is probably holding him back, in that he can sometimes make the impressive, improvisational, off-platform throws, and that skill (along with his scrambling) has got him to this point in his career already. So he seems aloof or resistant to change. There is reporting to back up this perspective, if you find that reporting compelling. Very interested in where the Bears season goes from here. I have a lot of respect for Ben Johnson's acumen and aggression, and have at times wished for him to replace McD. Like a Dungy-to-Gruden type of transition.

Lol...maybe if Dak stays healthy he will pass him on the turnover list Its really remarkable how Allen first fixed his completion percentage and then cut his turnovers without sacrificing his scoring output! Best QB and best player in the league!!!

I don’t agree with Kirk but I do agree with Scott here. There should be freedom of speech but also accountability for those words if your employer feels it reflects poorly on their business. Some idiots have said stupid horrible things. Hate speech is legally protected, but it doesn’t mean you get to keep your job. There needs to be more accountability for hate speech and actions by people on both sides of politics. There was lots of joking from the right about the attack on Paul Polosi when that horrible attempted murder happened and the right seemed fine with that. I don’t see any Dem politicians or other party leaders celebrating this murder. Idiots will be idiots.

The tolerant right.

There is always a thread.

Knox restructures, right?? Hawes has been great. I think Knox will want to keep the band together. Josh loves him. And it’s all good.

They can wear tinted visors if they get a medical exemption. Pretty sure Tyrod Taylor was wearing a tinted visor when he played against us. Waddle is another dude that is always injured.

It’s amateur hour in the coordinator’s nest yet again in Buffalo. I’m telling ya. All the other teams have experienced and proven offensive and defensive play callers. But not the Bills. We babysit those coordinators’ kids. But don’t question. Points points!! As if it’s not Josh Allen’s greatness doing all of that. I'm in a mood.

As a card carrying McD hater (who I will give flowers to on the start of the year) I have been consistent in praising this element of the team. Turnovers, for most teams are fairly random on the defensive side of the ball. But McD's teams historically, even dating back to Carolina, have been exceptional here. It's not random and it does directly lead to wins. When you go down the switch coaching path, that is the element I think you lose the most from. You aren't going to bring another coach in that is this successful at maximizing the turnover battle. He's elite at it, it's in the way our defenses are taught and it's very valuable.

What’d I do? 🤣 Do you mean to say I gave him a glowing review after 20 games last season, and I’ve turned on him after the Raven’s game? I have no idea what you’re talking about. Sorry. Bills defense looks bad against the Ravens. Disagree? I’m not all done wondering is Babich can win a Super Bowl because of how the Steelers defended the Jets week 1. Okay with that? Last season ended when the Bills defense couldn’t stop a college team. Their coach is Babich. What exactly is the controversy you’re trying to stir up. I suggest you pump the brakes, let people have understandable, reasonable questions about the DC in a thread about the DC on the hot seat. If anything, I’ve cooled the “hot seat” talk by saying I don’t think, want, expect him to get canned during the season. Even though Super Bowl contenders have done just that, with success I might add.

Prayers sent. Hope is the best of things - as Bills fans, and in life.

This turnaround phenomenon is getting rather interesting, especially when you consider the parallels. Geno Smith, Baker Mayfield, Sam Darnold all started for franchises that are poorly ran. They all started year 1. Daniel Jones is likely going to be the next one on this list. Outside of the bad franchise part, perhaps an element exists just not being burdened by expectations. It has to be a bit much to be a 21 year old tasked with turning around a dysfunctional franchise. Most of which are still dysfunctional years later. To go into a situation largely free of expectations but with the experience of your past. It has to be a pretty damn good feeling for some of these guys.

Thanks for clarifying. Was legitimately confused. DQ is the 3 in that picture above. Very interesting. Got any thoughts? Wonder if film reviewers have caught this (haven’t watched cover 1 analysis yet).

Hang in there, brother. Things will get better. ❤️

Yes, he was both TD leader & turnover leader. He's actually still the turnover leader the past 7 years (by a pretty wide margin), and he has Mahomes beat by 3 TDs. I'm just saying his TD to turnover ratio was just pretty good, never great. Even with all his TDs, he had too many turnovers compared to the other guys.

.

I think that Buffalo has a pretty good handle on defending against Miami's occasionally explosive passing offense. I can't imagine Miami even slowing down Buffalo's offense. My guess is the Bills will beat the spread and the only thing that will hold the margin of victory down will be Buffalo playing backups in the fourth quarter. My only regret is that Buffalo has to play New Orleans after they beat Miami. It seems like a complete waste of a mini-bye when you have to play the worst team in the league after it.

What a surprise.
