    Hoecht and Ogunjobi should be big time additions. I know the suspensions suck but they're nice vet additions,  Hoecht has potential to be really good long term but ultimately these rookies will be the deciding factor,  I love the moves. 

    Lost nobody of significance and added a ton of potential 

    Any chance that the Hoechst and Ogunjobi suspensions get reviewed and possibly cut?

    If KC wins Wednesday, let’s see every back up we have. Of course that means no change for the secondary, but get Mitch some snaps and give Josh two weeks to recover from a season of football. 

    And the MVP?  Don't care about that?

    I think there is some merit in those arguments, but I agree there is still reason to be concerned about the Bills' D.  It is much more of an issue versus some teams, less of an issue versus most teams.  For instance, should Buffalo make it to the Super Bowl and Philadelphia is the NFC opponent, I think Saquon Barkley could be a real headache for the Bills.

    You mean like the Lions RBs last week, right?🤔

    His numbers dont scream "dominate" they are more steady and solid production. His best year is 1200 yards which is legit but in today's NFL you have tons of guys putting up those numbers. So I think its been a matter of his ceiling just being lower so if your spending big $$ it goes to someone else. 

    Of course, he never had Josh Allen throwing him footballs before.  Now he does, so we'll see, but I'm thinking this looks like a pretty good combo.

    Just purchased for the season, but only cuz I can still get a discount with my nephew being in school. Once he's done, I'm probably done with the ticket. $419 a season is just way too much. I was surprised how much it went up even with the student discount 

    Whatever the terms and prices I am a huge Bills, and NFL in general, fan and watch everything available.

    I admit that I didn’t like Coleman as their WR choice in the draft, but I’ll root for him to succeed.  I would not expect very much from him yet - he is young and needs to learn to run better routes to get open.  Hopefully, he can do that well enough to be a big contributor in 25.

    This thing about seriously doubting Coleman because of speed is really getting to me.  Yeah, 4.61 stinks, although various reports indicate that he may actually be in the mid 4.5 range, but just look at the shots of him in the workouts.  The man is quick, strong, coordinated, very sharp making his moves and goes to the ball aggressively!  With his size and aggressiveness, when it comes to short and medium range targets, I fail to see how he can be shut down.

    Bills D is going to get shredded all day long by KC. Will look a lot like unchallenged Cincy and late Philly drives against us. 
     

    Bills don’t tackle well. Pacheco will have a big day. And we don’t have any immediate win pass rushers other than Floyd who gets 1-2 of those a game. 
     

    mahommes will RUN all day 

    Could be true, but lest you forget, the Bills do have a potentially high scoring offense themselves.

  8. I hate to be too dense on this but I'm having a hard time reading into the latest injury report.  By that I am specifically referring to the state of health of our DB's.  Yesterday's report said that Taylor Rapp and Taron Johnson were LP.  Any further word/conjecture on that?  

     

    Quite a time to have as much in the way of pass defense as possible.  Having Rapp and Johnson in the lineup would be huge.

    He'd likely be an upgrade at KR and PR for starters.    We could also use his speed on offense.  Harty is quick, but no one is actually fast 

    The guy's a 4.31.  4.31!!  That's not just fast, it's up there with the league's fastest.  He played well in pre-season, so what am I missing here?  Seems like on a team with mediocre team speed that giving him a shot is a no brainer.

    You know, this reminds me of when I was starting to fly all over the country as a private pilot, and I was a bit intimidated by the idea of a 1200, 1400, 2000 mile flight.  I asked an experienced mentor how to do it, and he kind of looked at me as though I had beets for brains: "you just plan it as a series of 500 mile flights"  There's more to it, of course - you're liable to cross more weather systems, and encounter more varied density altitudes.

     

    But fundamentally, he was right.

     

    What's my point? 

     

    I dunno about a "precision offense", but the Bills absolutely do have enough offense to sustain scoring drives of 9-11 plays that go 75 yds or more.   And in fact, that's pretty much what they've done when they've scored successfully, so it's what they need to make up their mind to do right now.  Just take it one set of downs at a time.  The only way we're going to force teams to give us the intermediate and deep throws is if we commit to that and show patience. 

     

    And in fact - most of the time when we've scored, that's exactly what we've done.  The Bills have scored 20 TD so far this season, and 9 of them have been long, methodical drives of 9-17 plays driving 75 yds or more.  One was 75 yard in 8 plays, one was 64 yds in 9 plays.  Of the others, only 2 have been quick strike length of the field in 4-5 plays drives; the others were off turnovers and some of those drives took a lot of plays to move the ball from from near midfield.

     

    Just plan it as a series of 10 yard chunks.

     

    As far as Josh "running more and not getting hit more", Josh isn't Mahomes.  When he runs, he gets lathered up and craves contact.  I think the Bills coaches got tired of saying to him "run but don't get hit, use your legs when you need to then slide or go OOB" .  They've been saying that to him for 5 years now and Josh has been hearing "run blahblahJosh use your legs blahblahJosh".  This season, he would maybe run out of bounds and slide a couple times, then start barreling into guys. 

     

    So I think they finally said "listen, if you can't run nicely for a QB, don't run."  Of course, then we see him body-checking LB in the endzone after the play so...

    It's been said before, but Josh typically gets hurt from the pocket rather than on running plays.
