Frazier certainly has earned another opportunity to be a HC. However. on a selfish note, I would like him to stay as the Bills DC.
-
Not a big secret why AFC EAST has become the best division. Bills are the most complete team in the division and maybe the NFL. Belichick has done what he has done for the past 20 years and built a very competitive team. Other than QB, Joe Douglas has done a fantastic job building a roster for the Jets. And, Chris Grier has surrounded Tua with outstanding talent via free agency.

The Bills defense has been playing with 45% of its opening season starting roster unavailable. I'm familiar with the adage "next man up". But typically the next man up isn't as good as the player he is replacing. That's why I'm tipping my hat to Frazier and his staff. GO BILLS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The Bills defense is playing with 45% of their starters not available. Yes, I know about the "next man up" thing. But the next man up is usually not as good as the player starting. That being said, I have to tip my hat to Lesli Frazer and his staff. I think they're doing one hell of a job.

Keep Cleveland under 110 yards rushing.

I disagree with all the takes that it was such a bad call. At the goal line, the safest play is the QB sneak. Most teams use it at that field position. If executed properly, all you have is the exchange from Center to QB, who just has to fall forward to get a yard.If we had a Derrick Henry, which we don’t, you could give it to him. With all the players crowded into that small area, taking a snap, turning and handing off to a RB is more risky. The QB could be tripped, like happened to Cousins twice, the handoff to the RB could be messed up or a defender would have time to shoot thru and nail the RB in the end zone. The QB sneak is the better option to gain a yard and move out from the end zone.
Regardless of the play call, the problem was the QB/center exchange. It was cold and wet out there. Who’s to say a shotgun snap wouldn’t have gone awry?
From my perspective, I think Josh came to the line and saw that the Vikings had stacked the middle. It appeared to me Josh was going to run to the gap on his right. He was so anxious to get there that he didn't secure the snap.

I would think if they are letting him play, Allen’s elbow is 100% healthy. Don’t want to see his elbow in ice after the game.
-
Let's hope Brown stays healthy for the remainder of the year. I think he's our best run-blocking lineman.

Allie’s injury should reiterate to Beane and McDermott that the Bills offense needs a RB that opposing defenses need to game plan for. That addition would be the final brick to an unstoppable offense. Not to mention, helping our offense when Allen can’t play.

Before the beginning of the season, most NFL analysts were saying that the AFC West was the dominant division in the AFC. However, based on team records through week 9, the AFC East has immerged as the premiere division in the AFC. You have to tip your hat to Joe Douglas, Chris Grier, and Bill Belichick for improving their teams to such a high level that they can now compete with the Bills. Each improved their team in their own way, Douglas through the draft, Grier through free agency, and Belichick through scheme. Based on the first nine weeks of the season, it's very likely 3 teams from the East will make the playoffs. That being said, I would expect every division east match-up going forward to be a playoff-caliber event. Beane and McDermott have done a great job in putting us at the lead of this pack. And the improved competition will only make the Bills better and more prepared for the playoffs. Even better, this new order is great for all four fan bases. GO BILLS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I have thought a minute, to have a bell cow running back, you have to give him touches.
Henry 166 carries
Barkley 163 carries
McCaffrey 111 carries
Taylor 107 carries
Kamara 95 carries
Singletary 71 carries
Who knows how much better (or worse) Singletary would be if the Bills doubled his carries.
As far as deleting Allen's strengths, for every carry you give to the running back you have to take away a passing play.
Ok, I give up. Let's not bring in an RB for which opposing defenses have to game plan for. It's better to keep the level of our RB" just adequate so not to introduce an additional threat to defenses. Let's all hope Josh doesn't ever miss a game.

I don't think it's the quality of running back, I think it's more of the way the team uses their running back corps. As long as each individual running back only gets a hand full of carries per game, and as long as the team values a receiving running back as much as they do, I don't think a running back will be able to "showcase" his talent as a potential bell cow kind of guy.
They have built the team around Allen's strengths, and every time he hands the ball off to a running back, he reduces the number of times he can pass the ball.
Think a minute. You are not deleting any of Allen's strengths. You are adding an additional strong component to the offense that opposing defenses have to game plan for. It enhances Allen.

IMHO, as long as the team is constructed to be a "pass first" team I don't think we will ever get that dominant running back of which you speak. Josh is that guy who opposing teams have to account for as the "running back" who will spoil your day when a play breaks down (I just wish they'd cut down on the designed QB runs with the exception of an occasional QB sneak when appropriate).
I saw a meme somewhere, and I'm just too lazy to look it up to see if it's true, that the Bills are the only team in the NFL that has gained 100+ yards on the ground in every game this season. If that is in fact true, our running game is just fine.
It's not that difficult. Do a little research and see how many RB's, that fit what I'm speaking about are drafted in rounds two through five. I think Beane will do it. GO BILLS!!!

One of these days Beane is going to get the Bills a RB that opposing defenses will have to game-plan for. Talk about an unstoppable force. GO BILLS!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Can you imagine the Bills offense with an RB opposing defenses have to game plan for?

I believe the Jets view this game with the Bills as their milestone game year to date. That being said, I think this will be the most physical game the Bills will have played so far this season. If Zack Wilson plays like he did last week against the Patriots, he will take the wind out of the Jet's sails and the Bills will crush the Jets. If Wilson manages to play well, this game will be closer than the current spread. My take; Bills 27 Jets 23. GO BILLS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
-
For the Jets, this is their milestone game. I expect them to play it like there is no tomorrow. Don't know if they have the talent to beat us. But this might be the most physical game we play to date.

If I'm the Jets, I'm looking to get Draft Capital. They are going to want a new QB.
-
One could argue that Ralph Wilson's commitment 63 years ago to the day, has played a major role in keeping the lights on in WNY.

If I am the Bills, I have my eyes on two players and would honestly be trying to get them both...
Trade for Hunt and then sign OBJ.
I am a big believer in Devin, but Hunt is a top 5 RB as a full time starter. He is a true 3 down RB who is a great runner and receiver but can also pickup tough yards between the tackles. Him as the lead and Devin rotating in would an excellent 1-2 punch. OBJ is depth and insurance and even if not full speed, is at least better than McKenzie or Kumerow.
I would bring both in because both help our football team, but more importantly, we would also be keeping them from a team we might face in the playoffs or Super Bowl.
But let me be clear...and I am supremely confident in our team as is. I do not think we MUST make these moves, or any moves. This is more about how both these trades makes sense in both helping our roster be even better and prevents competitors for the SB this year from getting better.
I doubt Kim Pagula would sign off for Hunt.
-
Based on what I have seen this weekend, Miami and the Jets will be looking for a QB. Maybe not this offseason, but for sure by the next.
-
Unfortunately, Ryan hasn't played well for the last two years. Colts might do better with Ryan on the bench.
-
I don't think Kim Pagula will sign off for Hunt.

From afar, Cook doesn't appear to be acclimated to the NFL.
