  1. We can call it whatever we want to call it, rebuild, retool, rejigger or whatever. This definitely was not a year where expectations from the media, most fans and most likely management believed that this was going to be a year where the Bills would be at 8 -2 at this stage. Even though they were aging, replacing Micah and Poyer was always going to be a challenge and to a smaller extent Tre as well. Then losing Gabe Davis and Diggs was seen as an extremely challenging circumstance and pair that with a quality center in Morse, many people assumed the Bills would struggle. It just goes to show you that coaching, JA and younger players stepping up have been able to overcome the perceived challenges going into the season.
  2. The biggest vulnerability the Chiefs have are their tackles. Yes, their receivers without Rice and Hollywood limit what they can do but their tackles is where you can exploit them and having Rousseau, a healthy and fresh Von and Epenesa can make an impact.
  3. It's not lucky to be in position, you can call it lucky that he caught it but not to be in position. There were only 4 possible outcomes based on his positioning, A) He intercepts it B) He tries to intercept it and it falls to the ground C) He tackles the guy as soon as he catches it D) It bounces off of Austin and it goes to the RB D is by far the most unlikely scenario.
  4. Von Miller had an excellent day yesterday. He caused hurried incomplete throws and without his pressure Austin doesn't get the int. Having him back with his body rested is going to serve us well for the playoffs.
  5. I wouldn't call Johnson being in position to make a play lucky. On a sidenote, I thought the Bills run defense was stout against a very good offensive line and RB. You take out that 58 yard run by Taylor, his YPC on the remaining 20 carries was 2.8 yards.
  6. Reminds me of the Nate Bargatze SNL skit
  7. Cleveland
  8. A large part of the reason the Dolphins gashing us was scheme. The Bills played 6 man boxes throughout the majority of the game and they decided to roll the dice against the run vs potentially exposing the pass defense. McDaniel has a tendency to move away from the run during the course of a game and to his credit he didn’t. Buffalo’s defense also was giving the underneath passes and to Tua’s credit he was hitting them with lots of efficiency. The Dolphins did about as well as they could have against the defensive design the Bills had in place. With that said, I do hope the Bills get some via a trade that can take on 2 blockers consistently, I think this is the main liability this team has. And through next years draft get a huge DT with their 1st round pick.
  9. I just don't see how anyone from the US could possibly see this as offensive. I never heard such a thing, that the word Spaz is offensive. Please, get a grip of yourself. He clearly didn't have any intent to disparage people with disabilities, we colloquially use the term "Spaz" as someone who is somewhat physically out of control and uncoordinated. A 100% complete nothing burger. I feel sorry for the people who are from the US who are offended by this.
  10. I get it, and I'm sure there is some of that going on. People telling him to retire, telling him to wear the protective helmet, telling him etc. etc. etc He's probably tired of it all, but it's not a good look and honestly I think this is not what you would want your leaders to say.
  11. Tua has been salty af since he's come back. Truthfully, I'm more convinced now than before that he'll never be a true franchise QB that can lead his team deep into the playoffs.
  12. A lot of people were down on Coleman after the combines, primarily because of his 40 time. I came away impressed with Coleman after the combine because of his gauntlet. He ran the fastest gauntlet and that's because he is a natural athlete and catcher of the football. It comes naturally to him, he combines his athleticism, body control, hand eye coordination and hands more easily than most. When you watched his film you could also see that not only did he have great hands and the ability to make special contested catches but that he was a really good athlete and great at YAC. The 4 WR's that I would have been happy with who I thought there was a realistic chance to draft were Brian Thomas Jr. McConkey, Worthy and Coleman in that order. As Baldo pointed out, my hopes are that Coleman can continue to ascend and be productive similar to what Rashee Rice did last year for the Chiefs going into and in the playoffs. Rashee really became their top guy. Fortunately the Bills receiving options are considerably better than what the Chiefs had at this time last year so Coleman won't have to be THE GUY for it to work.
  13. We choose both and FO can make it work.
  14. Benford has been downright dominant. As dominant as any CB in the league this year.
  15. I don’t believe our run defense is as bad as it has shown this year. A few tweaks here and there and the run defense will be a middle of the road sort of D. If Milano can come back to his old self and Carter continues to ascend, Vonn continues to play as he was with Bernard doing his thing then this defense will be legit come playoff time
  16. His act wore thin but I Hope it’s not too serious
  17. Because CD lamb emerged and they thought that Gallup would develop more than he did, it was a cost cutting measure. Cleveland shipped him off because they were going nowhere quickly with no hope in sight.
  18. His foot was stepped on
  19. Ughhh Next man up!
  20. Milano has been out of action for such a long time with two pretty big injuries. You never know how some players respond to these sort of injuries with this much time off, I suspect Milano will make a good return but that it may take some time to get back to his old self. I think he will be splitting time with Williams, which is ok
  21. Hopkins most certainly is not what he once was but I don't believe he is anywhere near what his numbers indicate. He steps in to a depleted KC WR room and within the next 10 days he instantly becomes a big WR #1 upgrade for the rest of the year. When coverage is tight and he has a 1 on 1 he'll get the ball thrown his way. Good pickup for the Chiefs.
  22. Per schefter
