Well, looking at our own game against the Ravens - wouldn't you say Coleman gave us as big of a spark? He was outstanding in that game.

My downstairs neighbors I guess are saints fans and the wife was getting a little too obnoxious about the game. I left the house to take a ride when the bills started getting sloppy, and just listened to game on the radio. Worked out pretty well.

Cook is playing like prime Jamaal Charles lite

the Defense will really need to BRING IT

Asking Knox to take market price is part of Beane's job. And from what I glean from the temperament of Knox I think he would accept market rates. Knox seems like he would like to be a Bill for life. And this understated quality, IMO, can be extended to Coleman - and never would be with Worthy.

If I had to point out the Bills weaknesses to this point it is containing mobile QBs. The Bills have allowed nearly 170 yards rushing to Lamar, Rattler, and Fields. I also agree that we need more out of Johnson and Davis in the running game. I know the Cook haters look pretty foolish right now, but we need Davis and Johnson to become effective and we especially need Johnson to reemerge in the passing game. Johnson has 1 catch YTD on 5 targets. I'm less concerned about the defense than others, as I see Milano, Oliver and Hoecht returning pretty soon giving a huge lift to the D. I'd also like to see more explosion on the offense. Palmer and Coleman are making plays down the field. So far they are averaging only 13.8 and 11.9 yards per catch. On the plus side, Hawes' emergence and the return to form for Kincaid have significantly helped the offense.

Pete Prisco said on ESPN radio this morning that the scoop is Liam Coen and Robert Salah developed bad blood as the finalists for the jags HC gig. It is inconceivable to me how candidates for a job can become so hostile without any other stories behind it.

Usual afternoon sh*t barrage by Grandstander Nothing different there, But to highlight his desperation, please note fellow posters, He bumped a twelve year old thread for no reason whatsoever. Just so typical of his need for attention. (and yes, I realize that I responded, but certainly not in his thread) .

Because I didn’t watch the game live, I followed the play by play on the espn website, it isn’t crazy if it works,

True with the way things are shaking down that is possible. Personally I would like to see them both at full energy to see how we do.

Looks kind of gay of the heavy hairy type. Not that he has issues or anything like that.

Apparently there is a "tell" on FG's from the holder as to when the snap is happening

Dang everyone. Lay off my neighbor.

I rarely speak up as always love your takes. I think, unless MCD gets a handle on this defense, we are headed for our 5th one and done in the playoffs when things get real. At some point, 17 won't be able to put on the cape and bail out that coaching staff (see last 5 playoff games). I am getting 1991 vibes again - so much talent, terrible coaching. Give me a Parcels or Gibbs back then and I'm pretty sure some of those Lombardi's hit home. Now saying that, anyone who thinks you are going to blow out any NFL team on any given Sunday is crazy. They won by double digits and that's impressive against any NFL team but lets be real, the Bills sit in that base nickel (I think the number I saw was 57-60% of the time) with 2 undersized LB's at the point of attack, along with a 280 pound NT in Oliver, and rush 4 so they get gouged on the ground- a lot. Quiet frankly, I don't know why teams pass at all as it took that coaching staff in the Bal game until the 4th quarter to move into 4-3 with some beef and even yesterday, 3rd quarter until they added Williams and lets be honest here, Hamlin wouldn't start on a practice squad and Tre is not the Tre we all remember, he has been getting cooked religiously, which is why they sat him for the Strong yesterday. What's the saying? Offensive wins games but defense wins championships? We might have to admit we have become the definition of insanity, same thing every year and expect a different result. I think there are no excuses this year, the stars have aliened - league MVP, easiest schedule in the NFL, ton of talent and an offense that is avg 30 points or more a game, with ease mind you. Some questions I ask now - Does 17 have a long enough cape this year that when they score 50 will he score 51? When is enough is enough for him? Is Allen the next Philip Rivers? best that never was? Is this a 6-12 team without 17? Can we get more then 2 games from Milano without injury? Is it players on defense or scheme? Both? When do the Bills go "all in"? - that, THAT right there is the biggest question and has been for the last 3 years for me. Would the Bills getting to the big game with a Belichick or a Reid? Say what you want about Brady (he is the GOAT) but there were a few of those rings because of that Pats defense if I recall. I hope this is THE year, but from what I saw last night with the Chiefs, I have doubts that it will be any different and I assure everybody here, if we end up playing the Ravens in the playoffs, they will not make the same mistake twice and they will pound Henry until his legs fall off.. I know I would

A good post that will get glossed over because people are not willing to look at facts that don't support preexisting opinions or bias. The silliest part about all this is that for most people, they can't wrap their heads around possibility each team got the guy that fit what their team needed, was looking for, and fits their offense best.

Just depends which end you want to be on!

The bottom line is the Bills are winning and are sitting at 4 and 0 on top of the AFC and there is room for optimism that they have not peaked and there is certainly room for growth. There have been some frustrating inconsistencies and missed opportunities to take control of some games that have you on the edge of your seat as a fan just begging them to put that team away. The defense did keep the Saints bottled up and off the score sheet during that 2nd qtr. offensive lull so there have been some flashes. Shaq Thompson has looked solid at LB. Special Teams felt like they struggled a bit with penalties, poor punts, and poor punt returns/field position which made it seem like the field was tilted our way for a long stretch and we were playing too much in the shadow of our own EZ. We are usually pretty solid when it comes to managing and flipping field position in our favor. I think OBD may be considering Codrington as a replaceable piece, but I have to admit that I like having him as a returner. I feel like he has really settled that role that had been a bit of an adventure in seasons past, but certainly a luxury if that is all he does on the team. I have heard speculation that they are looking ahead at freeing up spots, and perhaps they are also giving some visibility to Curtis Samuel to boost trade value? Teams realize that the Bills were struggling getting set on D and as predicted the Saints went with quick snaps and no huddles to take advantage of that and it worked a few times, and we saw McDermott having to burn a few timeouts to get things settled. It seemed like his adjustments were effective so that is good. On at least one occasion I think McD had a good point that the Refs were not allowing the defense the time to match an offensive substitution. This reinforces my general impression that we had the "F" grade officials for this game. Per NFL Rules: if the offense substitutes one or more players, the defense is allowed a reasonable opportunity to substitute as well. Referee responsibility: The officials — particularly the umpire — will stand over the ball to prevent a quick snap until the defense has had a fair chance to respond. I think this was what had McDermott hopping mad is that they were not waiting for the Bills defensive substitutions and preventing the quick snap. "No huddle" or "tempo" offenses: If the offense does not substitute, they can snap the ball quickly, and the defense must be ready without delay.

I am 100% confident that it was my fault we were in a slump in the 2nd. I took off my Kyle Williams jersey in the 2nd because I was so hot at the game. Once I realized they were in a slump and the only thing that changed was lack of KW jersey, I immediately put it back on and that was when Bishop had his pick and they cruised the rest of the game. I apologize for the inconvenience and will be wearing the jersey for every second of every game the rest of the year.

I actually thought we were headed in the direction of Turd Ferguson on this one.......

I don't know if the issue was crowd noise as much as the Saints coaches saw on film, the Bills are maybe slow to line up after plays. It also seemed like the Bills pass rush pushed forward well, but repeatedly left the middle wide open for Rattler to escape. Could again be their coaches saw this on film and knew they'd often be facing two rookie DT's so took advantage of it. Supposedly Moore was this offensive genius, maybe he is and figured all this out. Saw a stats today too that the Bills went from giving up 8.9 yards per pay in Q1 to 3.9 the last 3 quarters, so maybe they did figure things out. But do agree the coaches need to figure this out if that is what's going on.

A snarky question from a reporter isn't a reason to be physically imposing to a female to the extent that I don't find her question, or the tone in which it was asked even worth mentioning. This is a Ben Johnson problem. Full stop. There's no excuse for it.
