What’s important is to avoid 3 and outs we will not score on every possession but we can’t give Wilson a short field to work with ,
Every first down that Josh can engineer, whether it’s via the run or pass (and hopefully a good mix of both) will get him bonus points from our defense. Our defense should be at least marginally better than theirs, especially if they’re not still gassed from the last sequence as they take the field...

I can see your point if you, as most here, totally underestimate the magnitude of importance that winning against NE had.
The next two games in comparison are insignificant.
This.
Though I might mention that the snark may not be strictly necessary, what?!

I’ll say it, thanks for sharing OP. I’m amused by the ‘division perspective’, and find it an addition to the board.
That said, and having never watched the young man play before, the best I can say after one viewing is that, in spite of the win, his debut was only marginally better than Peterman’s, considering the difference in pedigree and draft position. The future is up to him.

I really want that dessert to work some magic for Ed; in fact I’m thinking the same message would look good on today’s rack of ribs... in frosting.
Hopefully a game day we’ll all remember fondly,
Go Bills !!

They'll have to eat some salary to move him. I wonder if Terry is keeping track of the amount of his money Beane has wasted on guys like Corey Coleman, Murphy, etc.
Unless I “misunderestimated” Terry, I’ll offer dollars to donuts that he’s much more focused on the details of Kim’s outfit of the day.....

Go Bills!... I feel a void this morning without a Rams-appropriate equivalent to ‘squish the fish’

Really enjoyed the piece, very well executed in terms of our current elation. Dutifully forwarded it on to my long-suffering family members, and also to a few doubter-friends... (Giants/Jets/Pats fans, of course, around here...)

Somewhere back there (in 1st quarter?). When the CBS feed went down, someone posted a Live FB feed... I’ve been watching it, and it’s about 1,000% better than ESPN GameCast.
However, at one point in the 2nd half the streamer turned his phone sideways for a few plays, and asked people to tell him “if it’s better that way...”
If any of you are on FB and connected to the dude, please tell him for me that yes, it’s better with his phone sideways!!
I actually think I could still log in to FB, but I’d have to search for a password, etc., and there’s no way I could figure out how to contact the dude.
Thanks in advance, GO BILLS!!!

It always seems surreal the night before the opener, but this year times 100!! Go Bills! GoGoGoGodBlessIt!
Edit: Oh yeah, 41-6 good guys....

I WOULD LOVE to score on our first play. BUT RATIONALLY, I'd rather have a long successful sustained drive for a touchdown.
Fixed this for you??

You can almost make book that the first play of the Bills offense will be a pass to Diggs.
To me, just the fact that you’ve said that (and it’s seconded here at least once...) means the right call should be play action (w/ Singletary) and a screen to Gilliam...
We might not have a better chance all season to catch a secondary backpedaling their a**es off.....

He doesn’t turn the ball over, which, if you have followed the Bills over the years is a big plus. ST blocking was below average least year too, should be better this year, and McDermott has said numerous times that Roberts was very close to breaking a few last year
Bingo. Ball Security. It was a continuing problem before he got here. All of a sudden, there were precious few terrible mistakes on returns, especially punts. He covers the basics better than any returner we’ve had in years.
To me, it’s Insurance 101 or 102; Risk Avoidance. Probability of negative occurrence vs. degree of negative impact of said occurrence..
In other words, he was never here to be a flashy TD maniac; his professionalism helps ensure that we don’t get ****ed with a ‘mishap’ from the return team every game or two...
Roberts is,, and hopefully will continue to be, another example of just how much “The McBeanes” are covering every godblessed base. Their whole game is a study in risk management.

“The talent is strong on every level. There's no weakness. And while the signings of veterans like Mario Addison, Vernon Butler, Josh Norman, Quinton Jefferson and A.J. Klein don't generate headlines, they fuel McDermott's system. The coaching takes this defense to the next level.”
After wallowing in the muck for so long, and in spite of the last three years, this feels surreal as s***. THAT quote is about the Bills??

I watched that whole Giants game. Really fun to hear Frank, Alex and Howard. But why would you post that particular game?!?! That sucked.

I’ll never remember what game, against what team, but I seem to remember Logan Thomas coming from absolutely nowhere at a million miles an hour to lay a block on a defender just before the goal line that absolutely exploded the guy, and sealed the deal on a long Bills TD run. Pretty sure that was his most memorable play here, and don’t remember an equivalent death blow block by any Bill before or since...
I know, a lot of “don’t remembers”, but am I wrong?

An interesting point about L Miller and connections to the front office. Pretty clear especially this year they value or get guys they are familiar with. However tough to know how he is coming off the ACL
So, on a relatively slow night, I’m really curious, what’s the TBD consensus on L. Miller??

You guzzler, you!! It only sounds long. In truth it drinks long...

Manhattans, a subject near and dear.
Start with Old Overholt rye whiskey, then the requisite sweet vermouth, bitters, lemons/cherries/oranges...yummmmm.

That hour totally made my day, especially after yesterday’s (painfully slow) fizzle of the FA news thread; many thanks for posting.
I am right with Marcel on the AJ Dillon love. A battering ram bruiser who can put some fear into DLs/LBs, and then scamper away from (admittedly college) DBs?! Yes, yes and yes please for the fourth quarter of the SB.
with that said, one of them (Fairburn?) had a valid point re McD’s need for veteran presence and that Yeldon is likely not that guy. So is Lamar Miller that kind of Scare-inducing guy even if he does return in top form? I just don’t remember ever being that impressed with him on the field, much less ascribing to him venerated adult status. Dillon makes me drool at 54 (or even trade up to get him if necessary) , compared to Miller in FA plus a rookie CB at 54.

Blind side block?! What a horses**t call.
Lamest call all season... or at least this week so far?!
pathetic.

My timing happens to be good, so I will jump in with… Josh, of course!
Sure there are other players that are perhaps playing better than he at their positions, but, well, Josh is our “it guy”, and no matter how well other guys train, play, or lead he’s the single biggest reason we’re all excited.
The young man is easy to like, is working hard and gaining on it all the time, and fits Buffalo like a glove.

What a lovely surprise to wake up to a brief analysis from you well edumucated technical guys…
per Ethan: “ It seems like he is bringing more pressure with overloads to one side in addition to simply sending more pass rushers. Maybe what I am seeing is a simple product of poor opposing QB and O-line play. But it seems more than that and it appears to be working. “
does that explain Shaq roaming free for his two haymaker sacks, or what? And how great is it to see our guys looking so much smarter than their guys so much of the time?! What a fun game to watch this one was. ?-

NOT THIS ONE.
Josh Allen’s grandmother died night before Seattle game [Update] The Patricia Allen Wing at Oshei is now open!
in The Stadium Wall
Posted
Can’t believe that the national (football and otherwise) press has been so slow on the uptake here...for example ESPN still running the “over $34K” number...
This is the most recent I’ve found this afternoon, and it’s nice, but please will “someone who tweets” please inform this writer for CBS that Josh didn’t throw for “over 300 yards on Sunday”...?! And include some of the aforementioned (here somewhere) stats on just how rare his two 400+ yard/3 TD passes/0 INT games in one season really are?! And, by obvious inference, how amazing his performance was, especially given the circumstances? Thank you in advance...!
Also, have to mention that I’m surprised that we’re not well past the “done” posts in this thread. I wanna’ hear how many other folks you’ve turned on to this steamroller...it only takes 59 more x $17 to = $1K!!

Also (again), when I gave my $17 pittance yesterday, I couldn’t help but notice that on the Oishoi site, they made mention of “our 3 year birthday”. Due to my lengthy (physical) absence from WNY, I wasn’t aware of their new building, etc. It was cause for me to look up some stuff; I learned a lot about our fair town’s history of caring by great women, and a notable man, too!
