There is always a thread.

OMG, for years now, when ever people ask why I chose to be a Bills fan I say “because I’m a lifelong glutton for punishment”. Thats funny stuff!

Yeah, luckily if you need a good game out of Josh and you’re putting the Dolphins in his crosshairs… that’s leaning heavily towards another offensive player of the week award incoming.

I don’t disagree, it’s why I said Ben got too much credit and praise for “Goff” who only regressed in LA because their OL became a casualty of their spending and a trainwreck. Once Detroit built up the line and talent around him, Goff became the more the guy he was when he led LA to their first SB appearance of McVays tenure. I was surprised Ben took the job without Poles being fired whose been an awful GM. Nothing is worse for a HC than being saddled with a terrible FO, let alone a first time HC.

Ty Dunne so take with as much salt as you see fit, but sounds like Caleb doesn't want to be coached. https://www.golongtd.com/p/house-of-dysfunction-part-i-the-curious

My prayers are with you

Fascinating to see Jones shading the guard and Walker shading the center here; how did the Jets then block this up? Did they double Jones, or Walker? Or neither? Did the defensive front shift into this alignment, possibly, based on offensive shift(s) and leverage to the sideline? You can see the Jets heavily aligned to the boundary side. I have no desire to be right, btw. Just really interested in the evolving DL personnel, usage, and alignments and techniques and whatnot. Nielsen is here specifically to get more out of this unit. Loved that hire. Hope it works out as the season progresses.

I think Baker was always a gamer. The Browns looked for the shiny and went for Watson. Biggest mistake they could make. Baker had a shoulder injury the year that he looked bad. I'll throw Alex Smith in there as a guy that benefited from coaching IMO. He wasn't terrible but wasn't good until Harbaugh got there and made him better. Then Reid got him and made him even better. On the Harbaugh topic, I think thus far Herbert has looked a lot better and looks like he has some heart now. Thats coaching.

I personally love the way he uses everybody at his disposal. At some point, you will see every WR, RB, and TE out on the field, and I think this is a genius way of keeping everybody involved and feeling that they are a part of the Offense. I'm sure Brady tells these guys like Hawes, Shavers, Elijah Moore, Ty Johnson: These are the plays you are going to be in during the game, I want you to eat, sleep, and breathe these plays all week, and when they are called, I know you will execute your responsibilities on these plays flawlessly. I think that aspect of Brady's Offensive Scheme is just great.

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.
