At least this time the fix in the schedule should be pretty easy. Pittsburgh /Baltimore game gets moved from week 7 to week 8 since they have the same bye week in week 8. Then Pittsburgh/Tennessee gets moved to week 7 where Tennessee has their bye originally scheduled.
This seems totally workable as long as Pit and Bal stay healthy. But it makes for some interesting what if scenarios league-wide and serves as a reminder that no schedule is safe at the moment. Would get more difficult too for teams that share a facility like LA and NY.

Why Main Street, of course.

Hard not to smile watching that.

3 weeks, 3 different O-line configurations. Most teams seem to pick 5 guys and unless injury or sub par performance forces a change, they stick with it for cohesiveness reasons. The Bills change O-linemen situationally, or so it seems. This bucks the trend. I'm curious what folks think about this strategy.

Carrs biggest weakness is throwing downfield and taking sacks
We need to shut down the short yardage passes. if we can force the Raiders offense on 3rd and longs we are in a good spot.
I think I heard on GMFB that Carr does a lot of short yardage and check down plays and that was exactly what NE took away in the game.

Shocking. Who could’ve seen this coming?

The thing I worry about for Lamar is they are eventually going to get him hurt running that much. Everyone knows it’s coming. Just not when. They’re exposing him to too many hits by running it.

Love the avatar. "Where's the KaBoom?"
I'm not sure about the "throws decent to his left" bit. I think the book is, he can hit the short-intermediate stuff to the TE all over the field and he's "money" on the deep middle. It's the >20 yd sideline routes he can struggle with a bit. And even there, statistically he wasn't bad when he took those shots, it was just notable that he was more hesitant to take them as well as lower percentage when he did.
Nextgen stats Jackson chart from last season so you'll see I'm not blowing smoke. I think if you looked at the 10-20 yd range in more depth you could see that it's clustered closer to the hashmarks and with TE YAC extending the pass.
I should have been clearer. Decent to left on intermediate throws. I think this chart bears out he throws better to left than right at the intermediate level. Confirms what my eye at least thinks watching games. This range is where the bulk of most throws in the NFL occur. And confirms what everyone sees. Brown or Andrews down the middle is where you need to defend. Thanks for the chart.

Living in Maryland I get force fed a lot of Lamar. When they get that rushing game going, which they do nearly every week, his passing goes way up. No surprise there. That’s the NFL blueprint. He can throw it downfield. He had 36 TDs last year. My take is he excels at the Brady to Gronk routes. TEs down the middle. He throws decent to his left. It’s the right sideline throws he needs to polish. He’s more comfortable throwing to TEs. Andrews is a big target. He finds him. Take away Ingram, Andrews and middle of the field and make it the Lamar show and you can defend him.
What I notice about his play so far this year is that he isn’t in run first mode like he was in last year. They are working on making his pocket awareness better.
He needs to learn to play with some adversity. Playing ahead has to be oodles of fun. Making plays when the game is on the line rounds out the QB.

three up:
1. The Josh Allen Experience coming to a fanless stadium near you
2. Stefan Diggs
3. Gabe Davis
three down:
1. Run defense
2. Mr "Tackling me is going to be a business decision" Moss
3. Injuries.. players are hurt way too early

I’ve probably seen and read more talking football heads this week than ever, and the Bills appreciation bandwagon is picking up steam. Roasting one of the best CBs not once but twice in a “we’re all watching to see if the Bills can beat a legit team” game, will be all over the highlights. Allen gave them soooo many awesome plays to pick from:
spin move, 3-22, sideline throws, being thrown to ground like a rag doll, unsportsmanlike penalty, face mask, 5 gorgeous TDs, avoiding sacks, taking big sacks, toe drag swag... More. That game was a cornucopia of Josh Allen plays.
me likey. Welcome to the JA experience Peter.

Might very well be true, but it just seems like we are making up stats accolades these days. So here is mine. Josh Allen is the first QB in NFL history to get called for an unsportsmanlike penalty, and a face mask penalty and still engineer a fourth quarter comeback.

The PI call hands down. Favorite play. For all the balls slung down range today, if memory serves, it was the only accepted PI call as the other one was wiped out by COVID ( that’s my explanation for anything that goes wrong this year. Oh, that was COVID).
-
1. You can’t wipe the smile off of my face tonight.
2. When have you ever seen a QB get a face mask call?3. Diggs beat Jalen. Enough said.
4. Injuries galore for the Bills. Hyde, Brown, Addison, Dawkins were just the ones I remember.
5. O-line was a disaster in second half. Nice they got a 3rd quarter TD.
6. 300-400-300. Wow. Who’d thunk it.
7. Bass was steady8. An awesome punt today.
9. Some big catches by Beasley. That 22 yarder was when I knew they would win.
10. Rams are scary good. Exposed Bills D for second week in a row.-

Windy day, rookie kicker. Yikes. My prediction is Buffalo wins or loses on his foot today.

seems there were many doubters and some still may remain but the fact of the matter is, he has and continues to get better. seen some improvement last season yet still there were questions about his deep ball.
this play here, should of made some billevers out of some. drop in the bucket.
I believe the kid really is going to be something special, man.
I was texting my son during the game. As this play happened all I could text was "omg, omg, omg". That play has been missing in Bills offense for two decades. The pure joy I felt from that play was indescribable.

I was over the moon when we grabbed him and then Edmunds. I was jumping up and down.. It was the two guys I targeted and I'm never right. I was onboard from the get go. He just struck me as a Buffalo QB. The one I completely got wrong was Lamar Jackson.

Joe Buscaglia had some interesting comments about Dodson and his impact on Levi Wallace:
"Dodson made a few flashy plays, such as his near interception of Ryan Fitzpatrick. He also had some strong plays against the run when firing through the line of scrimmage. His hiccups weren’t as evident on the television broadcast, but they were a big reason why Miami moved the ball so well in the second half. Dodson was playing too fast and was too reactionary, and the Dolphins took advantage.
Seeing how quickly Dodson was getting downhill and attacking the run, Miami used play-action to bait Dodson forward from his spot in zone coverage. They then had a receiver fill the vacated space over the middle and Fitzpatrick would fire it in for a completion. The Dolphins were 8-of-8 for 104 yards and a touchdown on play-action passes over the top of Dodson."
In other words, putting this together with Mark Gaughan's review of Levi Wallace in TBN: we know that Levi Wallace (probably by coaching) plays deep and gave up a bunch of underneath completions. Joe implies that Dodson played into this by getting baited forward by play-action, and leaving a huge hole between him and Wallace that Fitz could exploit.
Getting either Edmunds or Milano back would be huge, not just to the linebacker play but to help Wallace.
Aside: I can't begin to describe how refreshing it is to quote authors from two different sports publications whose analysis of the Bills seems to me on-point and meaningful.
The game within the game. This is a pretty interesting take. Impossible to really see in a televised view that exclusively tracks the ball and moves so fast. Goes to show you how important it is for all 11 guys to do their job right.

Why not respond to the people asking you the legitimate follow-on question: trade who or what, and for whom, instead of focusing on the personal comments?
Everybody wants an elite NFL game-ready corner with burner speed. You propose to replace Wallace with a player we trade for.
Very well. For whom do you propose we trade? Who or what do you propose we trade for that individual? What will be the trade partner's motivation at this point?
I'm not saying it will happen, I'm just saying unexpected things can happen. I give you exhibit A of one team trading literally nothing for a starting CB.
Of course it helps to be the Ravens too. 🙂
The Ravens acquired two-time All-Pro cornerback Marcus Peters from the Los Angeles Rams on Tuesday in exchange for linebacker Kenny Young and a reported fifth-round draft pick in 2020.

McDermott gets on my nerves anymore. He never seemed prepared for pressers, let alone coach-speak. I know it’s not fair to compare Belichek to ANY other coach, but Bill is always prepared, knows his opponents players, strengths and discusses them at length.
Wrestle Boy just seems so clueless.. It’s not being coy. He really doesn’t seem to know much about other teams.
I’m glad he’s our coach, but he’s alarmingly weak with press conferences.
juss sayin’🤷♂️
I was about to type this comment on FB, but I'll drop it here. It's not so much that he doesn't know, he just refuses to say anything of value to the press. They ask the same softball questions each week and he responds the same way: "he's a tremendous football player...", "we have a lot of respect for him..", "I'm not going to get in to that...", "we are going to control what we can control..." Nothing of value comes out of these exchanges.

You can almost make book that the first play of the Bills offense will be a pass to Diggs.
-
All they need to do is drop Brady on that elbow-thingy he has got. Edelman is playing wounded. Miami winning with Fitz doesn't sound so much of a long shot afterwards.

Judging by home many were at Duff's in OP last night, I would say yes.

Maybe they were just trying to keep the kicker from the Patriots.
