I think he meant to say every game vs per game. I believe Barry Sanders has the record for most 100 yard games in a season, but it wasn’t every game.
I wonder how Barry would look running into those 6 man boxes and 2 deep zones that the Bills face every week? Instead of the 10 guys and specific game plan designed around stopping him. Just musing…

Coaches are always going to let players try and play if they can. Realistically you could probably make the case 50% of dudes who play with injuries aren't better than a healthy replacement but rarely do they sit them out of the player can go. This isn't a Bills thing, it's an NFL thing.
Additionally, point me to a team that has good OLine depth. Almost none do. Some don't even have quality starters. Been a huge issue in the NFL for many years now.
Both fair points, but if Bobby Hart isn’t better than what we saw on Thursday then what is he doing on an NFL roster? The coaches obviously don’t think he is, which is pretty damning.

I felt bad for him...he was obviously severely hobbled pretty much from the first series where he re-aggravated his ankle injury and had to get a massive tape job. Came back in to try and gut it out but obviously was not anything close to 100%. Gutsy effort from him, even if it wasn't a good performance.
I have to seriously question whether a 70% Quessenberry was the best OT the Bills could have put on the field. He was absolutely terrible. If so, then I think you do have to question what the Bills are doing with their OL roster.

1st I didn’t think he was trying to hurt Meyers. I thought he was just trying lay down a hit stick type hit. (Like you said to dislodge the ball). Meyers was trying to secure the catch with both hands..
I think the hit aggravated the shoulder injury that Meyers was playing through that he got last week.
This is exactly what the NFL is trying to stop. They want DBs to play pass defense by making plays on the ball.

Looks like they made the right call.

Honestly what would have happened if a player actually did that? Would the team be awarded a TD due to an "unfair act"?
Yes.

So on the infamous play at the end of the Vikings game; with us literally on the inch line, is there any rule against us trying to get a hard count to draw them offside and just take the delay of game. Obviously they can’t push us any further back and we know they would be looking to force the safety.
So would that be allowed?
Sure. Why not?

Benford will be a starting caliber safety one day.
Jackson too, according to Romo. A star even.

Sucks for Benford. I really hope Rhodes has something left in the tank.

They compete and try hard, but yes I agree, they tend to trail the play and as we know Jackson doesn’t get his head around and locate the football.
They lack that elite closing speed.
But other than that he’s solid. 😂

Basham and Epenesa are both busts. I don't need to see anymore games to confirm that. Just disappointed we didn't draft OL to help Josh with those 2 picks.
It’s funny, because at draft time I read that Rousseau was a reach and Basham was a steal. Now it seems that Rousseau could have been top ten and Basham in the mid rounds.

He's forced to play because of injuries. He isn't a starter caliber CB.

Who is the other starter opposite White? The way they’re rotating Benford and Elam I’d say it’s going to be Jackson.

Elam is #3 right now, even before White returns. Benford is getting more reps than him and Jackson never comes off the field.

How bad must Elam and Benford be if Jackson is the guy that never gets rotated out?

SUW...
After a defense commits a 15 yard penalty on a touchdown or FG it moves the kickoff from the 35 to the 50. At this point you're guaranteed to kick it out of the end zone.
Why do teams never consider kicking an onside at this point? Field position would be at the 40 for the opposing team should they recover. A team with a good defense shouldn't fret over this, and the 15 yard difference on a touchback (25 yard line).
It would not be ideal in every game situation but if you are down 7-10 points against a poor offense it could make sense. So, should teams do it?
Would make sense if it was actually possible to recover an onside kick under the current rules. At this point, it would basically just be giving away field position.

I wouldn’t trust petersons yappin too much lol gabe Davis had him beat on that post route he was talking about and he knows it. Josh just threw a terrible ball.
99% of the time that is a td or an incompletion but josh missed the throw so badly that he threw Peterson right back into the play.
vikings defense was absolutely embarrassing to close out regulation and in ot it’s a shame josh missed that throw so badly. It was pretty surreal listening to them talk about their elite preparation after that game 😂. They left just about everything open on that final play but the decoy post route that we wanted them to cover haha
the problem with gabe doesn’t seem to be the route running to me…he gets open plenty he just is dropping too many passes and not making enough contested catches
Should have done some of that elite preparation before the Cowboys game.

I see a lot of posters mention "no tre" but could you imagine this D without Milano?
The drop off from starters to backups is pretty steep at several positions. Milano to Bernard. Edmunds to Dodson. Poyer to Johnson/Lewis. Those starters really need to play.

Just curious- is this the balanced throwing platform that QBs should be going for when they pass? 😂

That was probably the last time we had an offensive line that was athletic enough to execute one
The current line is crazy athletic, except maybe for Saffold.

I guess people won’t be happy unless the Bills score 40+ points, and Allen throws for 400 and 5 tds a game.
Yes, but how did the defense play?

They did and it was like 52% in favor of open air. That may be true. But an old fogey like me is starting to really hate going to cold weather games. I've attended some of the coldest Bills games on record and I can't deal with it anymore.
I'm not one of those guys, but do you happen to have a link or know where to find it? I tried Googling it but I don't see any reference.

Supposedly it's the fans that told the Bills to make it open air.
Have they every conducted a poll and released the results? I'd like to see it.

For sure, unless Tre and Elam come back.
St Brown is a very good WR
Edmunds won't be covering him.

Bills fans who attended the game today in Detroit...Does this experience make you believe it's a good idea to build a new outdoor stadium in Western NY?
Unfortunately, what the fans want is of no importance to the people making the decisions.

I don't think I've seen any study that shows a correlation for more injuries inside the pocket or outside. As you say, you often take bigger hits in the pocket, but if you run you are hit 100% of the time (unless you score an uncontested TD I guess) whereas many passes from the pocket occur without getting significant contact.
