Bad call Miami player clearly in the neutral zone

And Moss and Singletary are effective pass catchers.

Same here but I also think Daboll is trying to adjust the offense before the league adjusts to the offense and now you are scrambling. But coming off of a bye you need to have a really sharp offense.

I would hope in the obvious passing situation they just let Josh rip it.

Good way to start a two minute drill, just take a huge chunk of yards and go into the two minute warning.

Defense comes out with a stop giving the offense one last chance to take back control of the game before the half. Just a flat game. Defense is playing well but the offense looks flat.

Bills so far coming out a bit flat and its tied well into the second quarter. In fact fortunate not to be down by a score. But the Bills have plenty of time to take control of this game. They just have to get their offense in gear.

Looooooooooong way to go before that happens.

I simply do not think this deal is happening in season. I think these talks are parameters for an off-season trade.

I would have to watch the game again but I thought Brown did OK against a tough matchup in the Titans game. Overall I didn’t think the Oline was the issue in that game, could it have been better? Of course but I think the bad QB sneak is making people blame the Oline more than needed.

Cooks will also likely be traded as he is a low cap hit for a in season trade. I think KC, Green Bay or another team looking for WR help will pull the trigger on him.

Trading him in season did set back the run defense in 2017, but long term it made sense to dump him.

The O-line in my opinion isn't a problem especially since Brown has taken over at RT and D.Williams has kicked inside. Dawkins and Brown are a very good tackle combo thus far, Mitch is a high-end pass blocking center who does the little things and brings leadership to the center position, D.Williams has played well at guard thus far and even Mongo is decent at LG. I think the roster is so strong that having a player like Mongo looking OK appears like it is a weak link. Whereas in the past when the team would be rolling out 5-6 subpar starters having a guy being OK was viewed as not being an issue. Whereas when you are very strong and deep across the board a player being "OK" can look like a weakness and an area in need of an upgrade. IF The Bills had the cap space to bring in Norwell I would be all for it. But the Bills just don't have the cap space nor is there any other good O-line talent that would make sense to be out on the market. Going with the current line isn't an issue in my opinion. The worst player on the line (Mongo) is still a respectable starting caliber player.

The Bills were better of for their timeline to draft a QB in 2018 as opposed to 2017. Yes the Bills could have benched Mahomes for year one and stuck with Tyrod a decent vet. But in 2018 the Bills had to eat a lot of dead cap related to Dareus, InCog and Wood's retirement and other various bad cap contracts either being cut, traded or expiring. In 2018 the Bills simply were not equipped to put a competitive team around a QB. It was far better they were starting with a rookie in 2018 than having a player on his second year thrown to the wolves. By 2019 the Bills were in a position to surround a QB with talent and having Josh only being on his second year of a rookie deal was the perfect timing. Add in getting White and Edumonds to help build a defense and you have a better recipe for success.

Not sure why people want to push Morse out the door. He is one of the top pass blocking centers in the league and does all the communication and leadership aspects that a center needs to do. I know he is not the best in the running game but he isn't tragic there either. I think some people don't realize the value he brings.

Richie Incognito was a Pro-Bowl guard every year when he was here and for a three-year stretch (2015 to 2017) he was one of the high-end guards in the league during that three-year run. He wasn't a "homegrown" player but he was a complete reclamation project in 2015. He was suspended by the Dolphins in 2013 after a bullying scandal and then out of the league. In fact InCog was really a key cog in breaking the drought in 2017 and his absence in 2018 really hurt the team. I wouldn't say he was better than Ruben Brown who was a complete monster for several seasons. But I would say that InCog was definitely the best guard in the drought era surpassing Levitre who was also good but not great.

Spain was great year one, Mongo was signed on an affordable contract and in my opinion has played at a starting caliber level. Ike has been developed into a high end backup and Bates can play guard in a pinch at an effective level. They made a massive whiff on letting Teller go and resigned Spain to a deal they aborted quickly. So while it hasn’t been great I would say the evaluation and development of guards is decent. Not the best but not tragic either.

The Bills schedule is not as "soft" as many think. Yes the next three games the Bills should be heavily favored. The Dolphins, Jets and Jags are all not good teams. But after that the Bills schedule gets tough. Breaking down the schedule after the next three games I don't see any game the Bills will be heavily favored in for a long time. Week 11- Colts - The Colts are playing a lot better. They are getting back healthy and Wentz is playing well. Right now not a soft team. Week 12- At Saints - A Thursday night game away against a solid team. NOLA sports a strong defense and a creative offense that might have Michael Thomas back. Week 13- Patriots - The Pats have 3 wins and they took the Bucs and Cowboys down to the wire. They are a well coached team playing hard not a gimmie. Week 14 - At Bucs - Tampa is the Super Bowl favorite in my opinion. Away this is a game no one will doubt is difficult. Week 15- Panthers - Panthers have faded after a hot start. This one is TBD as the Panthers are hard to read at the moment. Week 16- At Patriots - Away game against a tough division rival. Not an easy game. Week 17 - Falcons - Falcons stand at 3-3 right now but have piled up wins against both NYC teams and a pathetic Fins team. Right now this could be a heavily favored game but we will see. Week 18- Jets - This one will likely favor the Bills heavily to end the season unless it is meaningless for the Bills. That's a really difficult Week 11-14 stretch in my opinion and another not so easy game week 16. And the Panthers in week 15 might not be so easy.

Getting to Met Life can be a pain in the ass but if you want something to do after the game check out the American Dream mall also located near the stadium. It has an Aquarium, Indoor Ski Slope, Indoor Water Park and a lot of other cool things worth checking out especially since you will be right there anyway.

What an ugly game. Wentz is starting to look better as are the Colts in general. The Colts are slowly working their way back to being a relevant team. Now only one game below .500.

Always love seeing teams pick up "local" talent. He can't be worse than Hart.

The NFC is more top heavy and the AFC more middle heavy. 12 out of 16 teams in the AFC have 3 wins or more with 7 teams above .500 and one team at .500. The NFC has 10 teams with 3 wins or more with only 5 teams above .500 and 2 teams at .500. The NFC has basically 5 elite teams standing out above the rest then a small middle class of teams and then a really bad bottom end. The AFC only has really 4 outright bad and irrelevant teams. The rest are pretty competitive even if the conference is a bit less top heavy. In the end I think both conferences are about even. Last year the AFC was wayyyyyy stronger than the NFC so it isn't like things don't shift so sudden in the NFL. Long term I think the AFC is much more loaded at the young QB position which will foster more competitive dominance for the AFC. Josh, Watson (if he ever plays), Mahomes, Lamar Jackson, and Herbert are 5 elite level young QB's in the conference and Joe Burrow is coming on strong in Cincy. The AFC also has Mayfield, Trevor Lawrence, Zach Wilson, and Mac Jones all with a level of potential not to mention Carr and Tanny who are solid QB's in their primes. Whereas in the NFC I don't see that same level of young QB's. Kyler Murray and Dak are fantastic but what else is there as far as younger QB's? Daniel Jones has been very mixed and not in a good organization, Darnold looked to be doing good but has faded and the jury is still out on Justin Fields and Trey Lance. The top NFC QB's are Tom Brady and Aaron Rodgers both older QB's after that you have Wilson and Stafford in their early 30's and then Murray and Dak as the younger QB's. Whereas in the AFC you have 5-6 young QB's playing at an elite level and a lot more that could come up.

It's odd because the Jets ownership seems to be willing to spend money. They just can't seem to get organized at the top. I wonder if it is a case of the Johnson family meddling too much or the ownership not having the right people around them.

It speaks to the depth of the team. But I do think that they need to get Gabe more involved in the absence of Knox.

They probably will use more 4 wide but I still expect them to try and run their offense with Sweeney. But I do see Davis getting more snaps and targets, the Bills would be foolish not to adjust their gameplan to feature him more and the TE less.
