Right you are.... they could have won ugly. https://www.nbcsports.com/nfl/profootballtalk/rumor-mill/news/nfl-fines-chazz-surratt-for-tripping-on-jets-game-winning-punt-return-touchdown

Not perfect but definitely reasons to be encouraged. Still early but it seems like the right move.

no other effin quarterback i would want on my bills. i do wish he would stop swearing.

i wondered the same thing during the game

is it wrong to like Maddy ? PS is it also wrong to like Lindsey Moppert of channel 2 sports wearing tank top and sweat pants during the news?

I say Josh is smart enough and has been around long enough to take on more responsibility- he should be allowed to make the offensive play calls. having to be leashed to an on the job training OC is holding him an the team back.

Josh should call the plays.

I thought play calling was disconnected at best.

yes

many teams struggled out of the gate this season. in all honesty i would rather have them lose their first one like this and improve as the season goes on (which they will). last season they came out of the gate beating the rams and titans and everyone was crowning them already.

Will he beat the Lion's rookie Sam LaPorta's specs ? YES ! 5 receptions, 39 yards 7.8 avg 14 Long TD 0

watched most of the game yesterday and TE was average at best. made a few solid open tackle run stops, nothing spectacular. one or two tackles for a loss. as for coverage, Pack TE luke musgrave caught 3 balls out of 4 targets. One strange note, not sure how the Bears and NFL let him wear those Bills red long sleeve but i thought it was a cool gesture!

Gets the job done but not perfect. 1. The two games shown locally over the air were blacked out on YT so i had to keep switching between YT and DirecTV, kind of a pain. 2. The game to game switching on YT was decently quick. 3. Sign in was a PITA, had to switch my phone browser to enable location tracking so it knew my viewing market and could validate my TVs Roku YT sign in. 4. I did not order Red Zone but thought I would at least get the multi screen option without it, no such luck. 5. The broadcast was fine, one or two minor glitches like a brief repeat loop. 6. Really miss the DirecTV NFL mix channel where you could see all the scores at a glance. 7. Overall still prefer DTV Sunday Ticket for the NFL mix and not having to switch sources to see the locally broadcast games.

DK (sorry if it was already mentioned)

Greg Cosell was big on Dalton Kincaid in his Jets / Bills preview on OBD. Also a favorable matchup. A breakout game for DK would be excellent. Looking forward to this game !!!

Good discussion on OBL with Greg Cossell about the Bills using the 12 Personnel package vs. the Jets. Bills used it near fewest in the league last season. That should be interesting vs. the middling Jets LB coverage.

Plot a curve - time to throw vs INTs. I bet they are inversely proportional.

How often does a late in the years veteran disgruntled QB with a perennial chip on his shoulder find success with another team? That's what ESPN should have focused on.

He was making excuses for the Bills and said "they didn't want to be there" (playing a meaningless preseason game). He did like the fact that McD threw out the field glasses though. Since it was a meaningless preseason game let's move on already......

I'd like to see what nickname he earns this season. Could become Bills Royalty.

No. He has help. Eric Washington is the assistant head coach. Al Holcomb is the senior defensive assistant.

that is a good point and i have no personal "stats" to back up my feelings, just lasting impressions from watching every game. too many times my curse meter went in the red after TE did something to get caught.

bills bills bills bills bills dolphins jets patriots

no

I know what the stats say and in most games he plays great but in big games against the best he has not played his best. There are more than just financial reasons why the Bills did not re sign him.
