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. ?-

This, I mean come on Allen's best runs are all off of scrambles/taking off when he doesn't see anything/sees an opening. Sure Allen's a big strong guy with some speed and he'll get you yards on those but I'd rather they use him as a QB.
Respectfully disagree. Josh is an instinctively good runner, with good eyes for the hole(s) and the chains. Add in crazy good moves/wheels for a stallion, and tough to bring down (want a stiff arm, Kiko?) and we have a weapon that Daboll simply has to show, at least on occasion. Opposing DCs, DLs and LBs therefore must respect the possibility. Helps open things up for the rest of our ground game... imho, of course.
Josh is a brute and is making SO much progress right now, on SO many different fronts; he’ll get better and better at avoiding those calamitous hits.
These designed runs will likely play a role in whatever success comes our way over the next few years, and be part of his game until very late in his (HOF?) career.
Homer I am, through and through:-).

I might add McKenzie. He makes one huge play a game. His acceleration on that catch to get to the 1 yard line was ridiculous
Damn, I’m fuzzy on that one and would love to see it again...
YOLO you’ve got clips of the others, howzabout this one too, please?! ...or someone else??
McKenzie is a huge/small part of our team. Anyone else notice the shot with him walking off the field next to Lee Smith???? Looked like me with my 12 yo son...

OP, not to nitpick, but we are 4-1 after Week 5, with our bye coming next in Week 6, so your thread title might want some jiggering....

Good post, 0P. After yesterday‘s game, I am most eager to see an analysis of how the OL actually accomplished what they did on our final drive; OMG I thought I was watching the Pats’* drive against us last year in the mirror.
I heard Feliciano slid to C for Morse earlier, but who was where at the end and how’d they do individually (obviously including Bates)? More importantly, do we have a chance of replicating that performance going forward? Yowza...
oh btw, Eli Harold didn’t make the Eagles’ cut to 53, and remains a FA. ?

Wow, super appreciated link. Makes me wish I’d spent last night sanding my kids boat instead of incessantly reloading comments in the game thread, many thanks!!

I love that Beane does this stuff. Sometimes he mentions players that are “fun to watch “; Beane is fun to watch.
Just seems like like we are on a different planet than we’ve been rotting on for the last couple decades...

I’m amazed that this board hasn’t exploded this go fund me campaign.
$45K in 16 months?
am I missing something here?
A few days ago when I saw that he was going into hospice, I dug up the link from the first page, and donated my pittance. Kind of did it in a hurry, and didn’t really look at the numbers, just assumed that this would be at least the equivalent of the Andy Dalton charity thing, or perhaps an even bigger blockbuster. Checked back today to see how he’s doing, and then thought of checking out the fund more carefully...and was a little disappointed, I guess.

LOL, that was the first thing I thought opening the thread!
No new pic's so here's an oldie but goodie.
OK, I’m sorry Dexter Lawrence, She’s my pick at 9...and 10,11,12...

There's....a lot to unpack here.It’s true that I’ve been suffering whiteout lately, wanting Lawrence. Just found a spot to slip in my two cents worth.

Do it. Be bold. Remember the move to get Biscuit? How did that work?
I am totally sure there are folks here that can make the comparison from this discussion to that draft off the top of their heads; I cannot. I’d guess that Polian had Bennett pegged as a perfect fit for a need, with no other player close.
I can say, however, that
1. I think Beane would rather all of us ravish his wife than give up next year’s one. He wouldn’t/didn’t do it for Josh, why ever now?
2. Q. Williams seems great, OK, but Beano’s not housed at a party thinking he’s gonna’ go all in for the most luscious cheerleader, he’s a sane professional that is fully (if not anally) aware of price tags, and BULLY FOR US!!!
3. Coach Clap is on record as wanting QB pressure from inside, which, to a degree, mitigates the Neanderthal Defensive Coach label for him. We also were absolutely gouged on the ground by our immediate hurdle (Patriots). So we need both run-stuff AND inside pressure, but on our budget.
To me that spells DEXTER LAWRENCE
He swallows up RBs like they’re PooPoos on a platter, he tracks sideline runs like a snake, he’s got eyes for blocked kicks/passes.
I don’t care whether BB sits at 9, or trades up or down, so long as he gets the defensive line help, along with a TE, AND keeps next year’s first.

To me this signing adds a little fuel to the “trade up for a (defensive) stud” fire....

Somewhere around 15 or 16 years ago, I did a sales trip through Buffalo up to Toronto and surrounds. After I reentered, I made a stop to retrieve a bag of smoke that I had stashed under the bleachers at Amherst High on my way through. Rolled a fatty, got on the Thruway headed home. Happily listening to WGR chat where the subject was what to change the stadium name to, instead of Rich, I believe.
On a semi-stoned whim, I called in, and went on air almost immediately??! Briefly explained that any city that welcomed their team home from the wide right Super Bowl loss with thousands of people on the tarmac, and then thousands more the next day at City Hall, carrying Scotty around on their shoulders and chanting his name, should logically name the stadium for Nicole Brown Simpson.
They hung up instantly, followed by a total silence and then immediately changed the subject.
It was amusing to me, anyway...

What’s sick is how much fun this thread is (“juicy” from YOLO) during this parched news time...
We’re all gobbling up this “permutation of speculation “ like it’s edibles....

The way he runs reminds me of Tasker.
To me, he looks like some combination of Tasker, Amendola, Welker, Edelman… But with Don Beebe speed?!

Didn’t mean to apply “exhilarating” to your posting prowess, just a touch of brain scramble. Apologies for sounding over the top.
Never seen a film breakdown with that level of detail from any player, much less the actual QB; and the latest stop-action / highlight tech, too. That was the fun part. So much more interesting than an All22 with a commentator trying to guess what the play call was.

Yolo, your previous posting prowess notwithstanding, this sequence is the proof of your pudding. The patience and civility in combination with your obvious rabidness is nothing short of exhilarating.
This video was the most informative and riveting thing I’ve seen here lately . I simply can’t wait to see the same sort of thing with Mark Kelso sidling up to Josh17 after we win the AFCEast next year...
yes, I had to dig out my password to log in, don’t often post, but felt compelled to comment...

I read the OP, but have not absorbed the ensuing comments yet because I had to say thank you for this report. What a great "I was there"feeling…
It helped me realize how happy I am to "Know" all of you. Go bills!

I don't think we need a slot guy. I'd rather activate Dez Lewis and go with Sammy, Woods, Hogan, Easely, Lewis. Also line up Clay at WR some and use McCoy a lot in passing game. Go with some 2 TE sets with Clay and Gragg.
^ this. I'm curious whether we see more 2 TE stuff in the next two weeks... KW's gushing about the OL's performance was "kind words" at this point. Win the trenches the next 2 and I'm a believer.
I must have missed the memo; do we now have a roster spot open 'cuz of Percy?
I hope the Rams did sign WW.

"When the schedule was released in April, I thought going 2-1 through the first three games would be a challenge, but doable for a talented Bills team. They did that. But the loss to the Giants in week four raises questions about exactly how good this team is. It’s tough for any team to lose their top running back and top wide receiver, but especially when those two players are big playmakers able to change games at any given moment. I still think the depth is solid with this roster and they can make a serious run at a playoff spot, even if Watkins and/or McCoy are out a few weeks. " quote from Sal's 'big picture'.
Having just seen the AP post about Shady missing "the next three games", it prompted me to have a look at the remaining 12 games in groups of three.
10/11 @ Tennessee Titans
10/18 CINCINNATI BENGALS
10/25 @ Jacksonville Jaguars
If we're a playoff bound team, we go at least 2-1, probably W's at Tenn and JAX. Then we get Shady back, ready to romp, for division foes:
11/08 MIAMI DOLPHINS
11/12 @ New York Jets
11/23 @ New England Patriots
Again, 2-1 seems plausible. Next three might be tougher with two away games:
11/29 @ Kansas City Chiefs
12/6 HOUSTON TEXANS
12/13 @ Philadelphia Eagles
but if we're a playoff bound team, we somehow manage 2-1. This gets us to 8-5. You see where I'm going with this, so for the last three games if they can pull off 2-1, we're at 10-6 with a strong division record, and hopefully strong enough tiebreakers with rivals so we get a WC berth:
12/20 @ Washington Redskins
12/27 DALLAS COWBOYS
01/03 NEW YORK JETS
10-6. This is my hopeful, plausible scenario. Needless to say, I'd be thrilled to see them go 2 of 3 for the rest of the season.

It helps that Gladiator is my third favorite movie of all time, but seriously...how much more appropos could this clip be for this game, this crowd, this tomorrow?
Go Bills, let's win our freedom from the Mr. Bundchen curse....now, please!

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.
