Yeah, I do know........because I have been there. I'm not the one calling out the fans who are there for the team for being "classless" when I am just some left coaster watching on TV sh!t talking and fan shaming the people who make it possible for you to be a low investment couch-fan. Know your role. Stay in your lane.

The WR corps hasn't been better than it was early last season. Diggs himself was putting up pinball numbers. The focus so far has just been taken off of the WR corps. Which was the trend at the end of last season. The numbers are clear about that. The OL is better. The RB's and TE's are better(and more of the focus). The WR's......nah.

His teammates loved Gabe because he fought with the fans for them. But he also just fought with fans because he hated the fans and wanted to take out his frustration on them. So the fans behind the bench grew to dislike Gabe because he constantly disrespected everyone in the name of fighting with a few people getting on him about his drops. And if the hecklers spoke to him during games the way he spoke to fans........barrages of f bombs..........they'd have been kicked out. So basically, like @Mark Vader you also don't know sh!t about the situation.

Oh give it a break. You live on the other side of the country and are in the dark about what really happens on the sidelines. You saw one clip where Gabe was going off and thought the fans must be mean to poor Gabe. Gabe had been screaming at a few hecklers for years and hundreds of others were collateral damage to his rabbit ears. It got to the point where even the bleeding hearts gave zero f*cks about his feelings. He's got less class than school on Sunday. You can't be screaming "go f*ck yourself" at hundreds of fans because some guy screamed "you gotta' catch that ball Gabe!". And that's literally the stuff that would break him off. People weren't f-bombing Gabe during games there is zero tolerance for that with security, especially because player's families are mixed in there. So keep your ill-informed opinion on Gabe to yourself por favor. 😂

It's called an analogy. "A comparison between two things typically for the purpose of explanation or clarification". In quotations for @Alphadawg7 before he pulls his "fake news" act. Analogy adds to the discussion. You are confusing that reality with your need to be told that winning a couple early season blowouts proves something substantial. The early season 2023 offense that obliterated Las Vegas, Miami and Washington in consecutive games clearly was NOT the same by the end of last season. Don't keep making the same mistake of assuming September football projects to January football. As I said before camp.........we will know if this experiment worked or not in February.

Has that concept been proven ill conceived yet though? I don't see the point in drafting 2 EVERY draft but maybe during a great draft for WR prospects it's a good idea. Do you remember a poster last season stating that "(Spencer Brown) simply does not have the feet to be a complete OT in the modern NFL and is never going to." That poster, of course, was you........and is an example of an ill conceived notion that has already been debunked. The takes on WR? Not yet debunked. It's premature to act like they have been just because the Bills as a team are having some lopsided early season victories yet again.

Hey Mario Addison should have had Kyler sacked on the Hail Murray too. When Murray is on the run it's not like Tua on the run........the receivers down field are still live. @Big Turk claims the Bills left Harrison unguarded because they didn't think it wasn't possible for Murray to reach him. That is clearly bullish!t. They blew the coverage and Murray didn't see him. But could Murray have still laid up a TD pass to the post there? Obviously, yes.

Context 😂

There are new helmet designs that are proven to work better than the guardian cap. It will be something we see in games for a season or 2 but I doubt we will see "tons" of guys wearing them. Just those who don't want to upgrade their actual helmets to the better tech.

We usually arrive 5 hours before kickoff for night games. So 2:15 for this one. The stadium lot's won't open until 3:15 so that can cause long lines of traffic from 2:45 until they open.......so my advice is get there well in advance of that or you might as well wait until after 3:15.

Predictability on offense didn't work at the end of the Arizona game when the Bills couldn't convert to close out the game and settled for a field goal and 6 point lead. Fortunately, Kyler Murray missed Marvin Harrison Jr. running undefended for the possible game winner in the closing minute. They could have scored with an arm punt he was so open. 75% runs on the easiest down to pass was unnecessarily cute. Escaped with a win. Shouldn't risk giving away games to set tendency in a 17 game season.

This board has come a long way..........not a single person advocating extending the 3rd year RB after an AFC OPOW award. I'm proud of you guys.🙂

Rooting for Seattle to go in the tank next 5 weeks. DK Metcalf is the ideal target. Checks every box the Bills need. Boundary WR1 with speed along with the size/physicality to dominate in the playoffs and/or bad weather. $1.2M 2024 base salary so doesn't make any real impact on the salary cap and a manageable number next year. Allen to Metcalf was the connection that was supposed to be. And if he is available and the Bills don't do it........watch for KC to do it. They were reportedly inquiring about him this offseason.

Matt Milano is 30. Taron Johnson is 28. I don't think the point of the OP was to declare guys like Dorian Williams and Cam Lewis as upgrades, was it @eball? The Bills are not a "young" team in any regard(starting or in total) when they are healthy. It's a veteran team, which is fine. Yeah I understood that. I am not sure either of Bookies or @eball are good sources just pointing out that where there is any statistically supportive evidence is with the roster as a whole, which is NOT young. Eebs started a "data" thread without any actual data. Could be fake news or could be significantly skewed by other factors........like current injuries........but who knows because he didn't provide any data.😂

Says here the Bills have the oldest roster in the entire NFL? https://bookies.com/nfl/picks/nfl-teams-average-age

Keon will just need to learn how to come back to the ball against Ramsey......

The mid-season swoon's of McDermott's teams are the biggest "narrative" that needs to be changed. They reach a point in October/November every season where they seem to hit a wall. Even though it's sometimes only 4-6 games into the season. 2017 of course was a defensively historic collapse but even in their best season under McD, 2020, they played games against TN and KC where they looked totally overmatched. It's one thing to lose but in these stretches they often just look like a bad team(which we know shouldn't be the case). I think Tyler Dunne might have hit on the primary cause........McDermott's intensity wearing on the team. So hopefully with McD reportedly adjusting his style some as a result they've developed the self-awareness to avoid those. Because they've basically been the reason that they have never earned the #1 seed despite all of the points and point differential data.

That is as some Mike McDaniel-esque word salad right there.

The Bills have scored more points than the Chiefs in 3 of the last 4 seasons and subsequently more points overall since Allen broke out in 2020. Higher point differential as well. Everyone on this board should know that. The reality is that chasers often run up more numbers. See 2023 Tua and the Dolphins easily outscoring/passing the Bills on the season despite getting swept by Buffalo in their matchups. Allen/Mahomes is close........but the Chiefs have had better quality playmakers in that span of time. And it's mattered "week in and week out" when those weeks happened to be against the Bills in the playoffs. How did they do in their 3 playoff defeats of Buffalo? Kelce/Tyreek/Rice combined for 50 receptions on 58 attempts for a ridiculous 658 yards and a tidy 6 TD's. The quality of player on the field with that QB has made a big difference in those games. Would be nice if Buffalo had a 1-2 punch to throw at the Chiefs in the playoffs but hasn't been the case.

This is actually the crux of the offseason debate. Column A WR's aren't good enough to win a SB Column B They are fine, it worked last year Two different goal posts. Some of those in column B ventured into "well the Chiefs won the SB" with a bad WR corps and the debate about whether they were bad or not come January......... but most of the vocal defender's of the Bills moves(or lack thereof) at WR were just aiming at a lower bar than winning the SB. It was already clear that Brady ball can win a lot of regular season games. But it was also clear that it comes at the expense of hard mileage on the QB and lesser passing game numbers. Those things have held true. The QB got injured running the ball and the bulk passing numbers are predictably poor. Perhaps I missed it but I never saw @HappyDays or @Kirby Jackson claim that this team wouldn't be a top 10 scoring offense the way they were constituted. That seemed a given with Josh Allen. It's not any surprise to anyone that they've won 2 of the seemingly most winnable games on their schedule Arizona in Buffalo and @ Miami(who they had beaten 11 of the last 12 meetings). We will see how it all worked out in February.

Actually one of the reasons for the defensive rebound has been that it's not easy to get a PI or illegal contact call against you if you are a DB. The league has gotten very lax with contact in the secondary. Contact that Gene Steratore now says didn't impact the play would have earned a flag back when the Bills were going to SB's. I'm not saying I dislike the way they call it now but DB's are just hanging all over receivers. Back when QB's were getting murdered in the pocket and WR's could be killed at the catch point WR's were relatively free to roam without the ball.

So much of it has already been said but had gone in one ear and out the other of the masses who need to believe that their coordinator is either bad or great and not just taking the least complicated approach. The decision to move to "complementary football" was an organizational one not just a Brady concoction. They had already begun trying out this approach for a full game versus Tampa before Dorsey was canned. It was a tough call because it was going to expose the QB to a lot more wear and tear and not be flattering to their star players statistically. We knew this HOF QB version of Jauron Ball wins regular season games and reduces the likelihood of getting upset. But time will tell if it was the right call. Week 1 and QB1 already had the under-Brady-standard 9 rushes and finished with a hand injury. As an aside.....Funny hearing Brian Daboll talking about "complementary football" in his weekly Giants postgame loss PC's now. Laugh out loud kinda' funny.

Brady is hunting EPA

It's just early in the season. Refs are always flag-happy early trying to set the tone for what is supposed to be acceptable and then by the playoffs none of the sh!t is getting called.

Yep. Or ask Boomer Esiason. Bruce knocked him out cold as a Jet. Or ask Bruce Matthews who gave up 4 sacks to Bruce in one game when the Oilers tried to put him at LT. Bruce definitely raised the bar for what a 265# DE could do athletically.
