I could see trading some draft picks for DB depth down the stretch, but otherwise I'd let it ride. Besides, what GM is going to cough up any meaningful assets for Ray Davis, a RB3 with 29 yards so far this year? Where do people come up with this stuff?

I would be more accepting of these uniforms if the Bison's eye was red.

The INT was a great play by the safety, but also the throw was a little off to the inside. Keon maybe could have held separation if he was tracking the ball more to his right, and the safety would have had farther to travel.

It's just way too early to say. Only 4/17ths through the season, a lot can still happen.

I just want to say that Dawson Knox, Dalton Kincaid, and Jackson Hawes are all great country singer names.

I'm sure he'll get out there eventually. Someone will either get dinged up or have one too many bad games. It's just a deep position at the moment, and there's not a compelling enough reason to put him on the field.

I think the refs bend the rules more on the reputation of the players themselves, rather than on the quality of their team. Especially true when it comes to QBs, CBs, and OTs. Sauce has caught the attention of refs because he's a grabber, not because his team sucks out loud.

Say what you will about the stretches of lackluster play, strategy, or the weak links here and there, but know this: The Bills D has made huge stops at critical times all season so far, especially late in games. Forget about sacks and PBUs, FINISHING has been their biggest problem in the past, and they appear to be much better at it now.

It's possible he could come back in 2027 and still be an above-average slot receiver. Yes he's a "track star," but he's not a total one-trick pony. He has also been incredibly durable for a little guy. He's an athletic freak. If they can repair it, he can probably play again. A lot will depend on how his cartilage fared - ligaments are almost always fixable, but cartilage can be very tricky. If they have to do some kind of microfracture on top of the ligament repairs, then yeah he might be done. BTW, I'm glad a fell asleep before it happened! I can't watch that stuff.

Big picture, the Bills are taking care of business by whatever means necessary. They have many ways to move the chains and score. The D makes big stops at the most important times. They dominate the turnover battle and have above-average special teams play all around. Everything else is just noise. These guys are winners.

OK, TBD, time to pass the hat!

Not to mention the Bills have not lost a fumble... for 19 consecutive games. AND, they haven't committed a single turnover in 8 straight games.

In my book, Mitch will always get a lot credit for launching Josh into superstardom, possibly more so than Diggs.

Yeah, I'm kind of projecting out to what seems likely to happen for the second half of the 2018 class' careers. Obviously they are lacking credentials compared to '83, but I think when it's all said and done it will be a pretty tight contest.

Yeah, he's still a ways out. Every drill is moving in a straight line, no cutting or shifting of body mass side to side allowed. I wonder when he's allowed to start that kind of stuff. I don't see him playing in any games anytime soon!

2018 vs. 1983: Pretty equal if you ask me! Allen - Elway Lamar - Marino (not terms of playing style, but as in talent vs. results) Baker - Kelly Darnold - Ken O'Brien Rudolph - Tony Eason Rosen - Todd Blackledge

The silver lining is that a lot of depth players are getting meaningful minutes during a 'light' spot on the schedule. Middle of a home stretch vs. mediocre non-conference opponent with a young QB. Heck, sit as many starters as you can get away with!

Ravens have a better shot at home-field advantage if they win. Chiefs have a harder schedule moving forward, so I'm less worried about there being a Bills playoff game in KC. So I'd like to see the Ravens get another loss. It will also stoke more anxiety for them, in that they can't figure out how to beat the Bills or the Chiefs, no matter how good they are.

it's just bizarre how much better McBeane drafts in the later rounds than he does in the early ones.

A lot has been said about what is needed on defense. Despite all the leaks, I have actually been impressed with how well they have come through at critical times, with big plays and key stops despite having a lot of likely starters on the shelf. I think once more guys are healthy, things will get better with the existing roster, though Safety still seems dicey. It's also only been three games, not enough for me to believe hot takes like that Rousseau is no longer any good, etc. It's hard to pick on the offense at all. I think we expect them to score a TD on every drive now, but that's a lot to expect in the NFL. By more reasonable measures, they look like a well-oiled machine up and down the roster. Overall, this is a really deep team and I think realistically, it would be hard to improve on it much aside from upgrading at Safety. They are 3-0 for good reason.

The Schadenfreude is hard to avoide.

Yes, it was like The Ultimate Warrior vs. Barry Horowitz.

He looked better to me today than Von Miller ever did in a Bills uni.

What a perfect outcome. Division win on the road, Josh didn't have to do much himself, just spread it around to everyone. Benching the starters in the 4th, no more injuries. Defense came up huge after getting trash-talked all week. Made it look easy, win the game and go home. What more could you ask for in week 2?

That was some vintage WWF tag team stuff. Axe setting up Smash with an elbow to Barry Horowitz.
