Maybe trying to emulate how Cook sets up his blockers. He's got to be his own man though. It's not like he hasn't seen success before. I don't know either. There is a feeling that he's better than he's showing. Maybe too, the Oline is not blocking well for his style of run game. Cook seems to setup his blockers so well, finds his hole and accelerates through it. I think some blocking schemes open holes slowly, some quickly. Maybe he's not seeing the hole the Cook does it. Lot of moving parts and it could be a lot of things.

He was in and out throughout the game.

The big people packages on both sides of the ball showed out today. Shaq and Dorian were solid if not good at lb, the DL were a disgusting batch of yetis and even without Oliver if we get sanders and DQ back it's a problem for opponents. On on the 2 and 3 te packages just embarrass guys out there. Gilliam is a top flight thumper. Allen kinda sucked for him, but the only running back in the NFL who is better than cook is Taylor in Indy, and our overall power package is better. I think mad max and Hancock showed a lot of juice on d (and the boy Hoyt obv). 7 has obviously lost a step, but assuming we can work out the youthful mistakes, a fast and hungry secondary is a big upgrade Lastly, this d looks so so much better without Bernard and rapp. Those two guys have really sucked this season

No. If I did I would have said "her". I said their. As in more than one.

Well said.

Kincaid was limited today and according to a poster on another thread he was only on the field for 14 snaps. Palmer being out leaves the Bills without a downfield WR passing attack. Allen's 2 throws to the sideline were vintage Allen throws and missed by inches being completions. Outside of twp bad throws he seemed pretty accurate to me. I do think he's not trusting his WR's and he's not fully trusting the O line on pass plays. The play where he got sacked on the first FG drive in which Dawkins took the wrong guy has been happening a lot lately. Then you had the play were Allen sneaks for the 1st down getting a 1st & goal only to see it come back on an inexcusable mistake by the WR's not lining up correctly. I agree that there is a mental component here. When you almost never see separation it starts to drain the brain. On the positive side Allen finished with a QB rating of 108 and the offense piled up over 400 yards.

Good, but this lost them a game in Cincinnati

KC, Indy and New England are complete teams. Pitt, SD, Den, are a step below. I like your rankings and thinking. The bills are 4th best in the AFC, possibly the most dangerous 🤷‍♂️

It isn't and it was time for it to happen. He handled the question well. Its not an easy one to answer, given to what it means to the other guy professionally

Matt and I just met in the car return at the airport. Good to see him. Everyone was in a great mood!

He was dressed but they said he was only available in case of emergency.

Will be interesting to see what his snap count was. He seemed to be out there early and often. And it didn't seem like it was too much for him when he was. Very surprised that he was activated so quickly and played as much as he did. Pleasantly so. Both are *very* uncharacteristic actions by such a conservative coach in McDermott.

I must have missed the announcement before the game but did we know that Bernard was gonna be OUT for the game?

The list of offensive head coaches who call plays is very long. Just off the top of my head: Andy Reid Kyle Shanahan Sean Payton Sean McVey Mike McDaniel Zac Taylor Liam Coen Shane Steichen Kevin O'Connell Kevin Stefanski Why is it so odd for a head coach to call defensive plays?

Credit where credit is due - Moore had the block of the day on Shakir's TD.

If he was progressing trading probably wouldn’t be possible.

I don't want KC to win their division, so I want the Chargers and Denver to keep winning.

Taylor with a 80 yard TD run.

If McDermott said he was calling plays, there would be nothing unprofessional or wrong with that statement. It's no different than a player getting benched. It's the national football league and it's a performance based league for players and coaches

When whichever one of me typed that comes back, you're probably in big trouble.

I think you're not being realistic thinking Sanders will be back soon. He had Knee Surgery just a few weeks ago. Though not anything reconstructive, I don't think you open up your knee and you're back that quick. McDermott said he was "hopeful" he returns "at some point". But didn't rule out him not returning. With him, I wouldn't expect him back before the very tail end of the year or in the Playoffs - if at all. They likely need to add 2 of the 3 from the field of Logue, Phillips, and Mathis. Right now, we're down to just Deone Walker and Larry Ogunjobi on the 53. Both Jordan Phillips and Zion Logue have used all 3 of their call-ups for the Regular season. I suppose they could sign one of them and elevate Mathis for up to two weeks (as they've elevated him once before this season), until Jones returns. But I imagine that he'll be out at least 1 more week, if not 2.

Any win in the NFL is a huge win. Run game looked great today. Defense seemed to remember they’re supposed to be tackling the people in the other colored jerseys and it’s good to be back on the W side of the column again. We still however do not have a #1 receiver. We have a defense that can’t stop the run and is mediocre at absolute best in pass coverage. I really hope this is not the excuse McClapper and the Beane need to not do anything before the deadline. Not ready to go back to holding my breath for the wildcard while josh still has good years left

That totally sucks for Oliver but now it's time to earn your draft status young buck or anyone getting elivated.

I would say it’s mental as much as anything. Mentally, he is aware that his receivers create zero separation and don’t come back to the ball when he scrambles. Mentally, he is aware that his OC is trying to make him a system quarterback.

"their" debut? You're thinking that the Bills might trade for a girl?
