Punch

GameDay threads are so miserable. Though, not as miserable as this performance by Allen.

We do have evidence on Kareem Hunt based on 2022: he's likely spent as an every down RB.

Although he may have struggled somewhat as a rookie I think he's simply too talented to wind up working at a bank anytime soon.

It was the best of times, it was the worst of times.

If Diggs: a. Doesn’t have an issue with Dorsey AND b. Is frustrated with being asked to curtail his freestyle route running options …THEN the issue must lie with McDermott. The head coach is the person most likely responsible for overriding freestyling on offense and this would jibe with other grumblings we’ve heard throughout the off-season.

FWIW, what kind of car do you drive?

When's the last time you leapt over a linebacker?

They're allowed to tweet or report anything they want but then they won't be welcome at the open media portion of practice. It's a private business, they can set terms and it's up to the reporters to agree to oblige or not, there's nothing egregious about it.

He’s clearly mocking the breathless social media speculators, he isn’t trolling for “clicks” or claiming inside info.

I’m not a Twitter expert but the first step to identifying the contents of the photo is to share the link.

Kind of: I stayed out all night one Saturday while staying with my parents in my early 20s. I awoke to hear “Fletcher with the tackle” and jumped up thinking I was missing the beginning of Bills-Lions only to find out there were less than 5 minutes left in the game.

It’s been pretty plainly stated that the Bills liked Mahomes but McDermott didn’t think it would send a good message to the roster if they picked him at 10. They were only taking him if they traded back and he was available. At least according to Tyler Dunne: https://www.golongtd.com/p/part-i-the-pressure-is-on-josh-allen

Teams have loaded up their rosters with QBs on a rookie contract. That's why these teams have had Super Bowl success by a QB's year 4. Obviously, that's an issue now that the Bills are forced to move money around but the window is still firmly open. In 2-3 years, it'll be much more difficult.

Weren’t the Bills interested in signing him the last time he was a FA? He was effective at times last year in a horrendous situation. He’s the embodiment of a bigger bodied RB who can be trusted on 3rd down and in pass pro plus he’s cheap.

The confusion is understandable after Cincinnati had so many easy drives in Buffalo on Sunday.

More like Tipsy19, eh? I kid.

I’m not advocating for McDermott to be fired but I don’t really see how to recover from this. How can the locker room respond to him now?

It’s not like in hockey where you can throw pucks on net and bank some dirty goals. The defense isn’t good enough for the offense to play that sloppy.

-I think Frazier has had some nice moments this year after being dealt a rough hand but today was disgraceful. I think a change is warranted even if he isn’t 100% to blame. I also think McDermott staying would likely mean the defensive philosophy stays largely the same. -Dorsey isn’t ready for prime time. Greg Cosell said it best earlier this week pointing out the lack of synchronicity between the Bills passing game and run game. I like your suggestions for potential replacements but doubt it’ll be considered. -No way should they or would they consider trading Diggs. I’m not sure I understand the logic. -The other WRs aren’t good enough right now although I think Shakir can continue to grow. Davis is fine as a WR3 but he’s hit his ceiling. He can’t be relied upon to be the WR2. -I like Knox quite a bit and I wonder how often he was kept in to block. It seemed as though he was for the first half of the year but I haven’t seen route participation stats. He’s definitely underutilized. -Absolutely agree on the O-line and much of what else you posted. Very melancholy right now but ever hopeful.

They were often confounding and everything seemed like a supreme struggle. Maybe it’s a testament to how talented they are that they performed so out of joint yet continued to win.

To be perfectly honest, I’m emotionally drained from this season as a fan. A Bills season has never felt more like a slog and I remember Hank Bullough.
