Sounds like it. Personally, I never noticed much of a difference between him and Boettger. Both were mediocre. At least Ike is younger and has a better chance to improve.

He hasn’t learned the first rule of interviewing people: the answer should be more interesting than the question. He spends so much time trying to sound smart through his question that he doesn’t realize that no one cares what he thinks.

I wish they had given Teller as much of a chance to develop as they gave Ford.

That didn’t look promising. I hope he is lucky.

The Chiefs will always be favored until the Bills beat them.

They were still kinda shaky, imo. They’re still hunting a good starting 5.

I said the same thing during the game. It’s like they had no idea that Allen likes to step up and roll to his right. Strange because you could tell Miami and Pittsburgh were focused on that.

So did Frazier.

It was tough to see on TV whether the coverage was just outstanding or whether he was not seeing open receivers.

To be honest, I'm more concerned about LV than Miami. The Bills own Miami.

I think the real problem is that Allen had to hold the ball longer vs Pittsburgh. It seemed like WRs were open immediately against these soft WFT zones.

An enjoyable game. I thought Daboll made some good halftime adjustments. Defense is looking great. If the DL plays like it has weeks 1 and 2 then they're going to be very tough. I'm not too worried about Allen but I am concerned with the offensive line. They have had their struggles the first two weeks.

So 2 games out of the last 20? I wouldn’t hold your breath this season waiting for a game plan that doesn’t involve spreading the field with 4 and 5 wrs and throwing the crap out of the ball. Which was probably not ideal against a defense like Pittsburgh’s. That may have been one of the times to make some modifications.

If they spend a high pick on a corner and he works out, then he is almost certainly going to walk when his rookie contract is up because they couldn’t afford to keep him. So it would be a rental. I don’t think they see using their high picks in that way.

Good man v man CBs come at a premium and there's no way that the Bills could afford two of them and still spend like they do on the DL, while still having some money left over for offense. Their decision is to spend on the DL (which generally has more impact on the game - "it all starts up front"), keep the DBs in zone most of the time and hope that the pressure generated helps the DBs in coverage. Against certain matchups it can be a problem, but overall I think it's a sound strategy.

The Ol handled Pittsburgh’s DL OK last season. I’m sure that factored into their thinking. Daboll likes to be aggressive in his sets so it’s no surprise to me that Moss was the odd man out. What I don’t like is that no matter how much Daboll talks about “doing whatever it takes” in terms of personnel, run/pass balance, game planning, etc., every game plan looks the same and never seems to change during the game if things aren’t working. I literally laughed out loud at his PC when he said that if they need to run it on every play to win then that’s what they will do.

Frustration. Nothing to worry about, IMO.

This is they key reason that those “trick plays” don’t work. No one on defense is over committing because they’re dominating playing straight up.

They made a lot of moves wrt the OL. FAs didn’t really pan out. I have high hopes for the draft picks though, but it may take a couple of years.

Chiefs too. Good thing the playoffs don’t start next week!

And when they were wide open Allen overthrew the WR

The game had turned before the block. That was a consequence not the cause, IMO

I didn't get the sense that they had an attitude problem. I think they had a game plan problem on offense.

Exactly. I'm not sure why people are pointing at Haak. The defender got to Haak almost as fast as the ball did.

No one was getting that punt off.
