The problem with McCoy in that attack is that running against nickel and dime defenses is not a big advantage with a 190# 30 year old scatback............a faster defense makes it harder for him to use his remaining short area quickness. That offense is best served with a big back who can make teams pay for putting smaller defenders on the field. The nice thing about being the Chiefs though is that Mahomes and Co are so good that the defense doesn't even have to respect the run and they can still put 400+ yards on you thru the air.

Why do you think he didn't sniff a tackle yesterday but Harrison Phillips had 3 and a PD in the same amount of snaps? Harrison Phillips isn't a world beater but he makes the plays that are presented to him...........there is a minimum amount of athleticism and agility required at the position and I think Star has graduated to black hole status.

And WINNABLE this time.

Star was pathetic out there yesterday..........they are stuck with him cuzza the $26M guarantees but McD gotta' be thinking about Vincent Taylor sitting on the PS while he's playing a guy that's getting spun around like a top out there.

Yeah there has been an abundance of serendipitous occurrences for the Bills since that one-in-a-generation schedule came out. The Bills schedule reminds me of the Jaguars schedule in 1999 where they were able to earn home field advantage in the AFC when they weren't even the best team in their division(they lost to the Titans twice that season and again in the playoffs). Factor in the turmoil in Houston and Luck retiring and Foles breaking his clavicle.........the AFC division favorites are pretty clear cut after 2 weeks already and the Bills are in the drivers seat for the first WC if nothing else.

I am having visions of Big Mike Williams with Cody's footwork at RT. Meanwhile the much maligned DK Metcalf caught the game winning TD for Seattle again.........2 games 150 yards receiving with 1 TD and drew a PI in end zone to set up another.

Too many guards isn't a 1st world problem it's just called depth...........Bills were wise to buy guards in FA, that's where you get them.......seasoned and ready and at the right price............too many QB/DE/LT/WR/CB is a 1st world problem.

No Bill was as bad as Star Lotulelei though. He looks like a f*cking tourist out there..........he's so unathletic that he was basically a traffic cone LAST YEAR....... but now it's markedly WORSE and he's also getting turned sideways and pushed backwards........Barkley ran right past him several times and he just didn't even have the twitch to get an arm on him.........he didn't even sniff a tackle.........Harrison Phillips isn't great but he's indispensable right now.

Not Beane. Babich Jr. recommended him.

Yeah the contracts they received were considered very generous..............especially Poyer who had done almost nothing as a pro. I don't think people should get too attached to secondary members in this defense............if Josh Norman didn't get paid after he helped McD get to a SB then I'd say don't expect Tre to be getting $20M per or the safeties getting $10M.

Some fans crave national attention for their team...........low self of steam maybe? The only national attention I want as a Bills fan is opposing fans hating on the Bills for winning a SB.

5. McKenzie isn't returning punts because he drops them. Ray Ray was the same way which made it hard to justify keeping him around.......and fwiw he muffed 2 punts in the opener for the Panthers. Hyde is just a punt catcher like Chris Watson but he is a really good punt catcher.

Yeah you do actually. It's been reported as a hamstring injury and McD says they will know more in a couple days about the severity.

No it definitely didn't "look" like a cramp. When it's a cramp you see the trainer grab the toe area on the cleat and and start stretching out the leg.

The decisions can be wrong and the "process" can still work........but it's a lot easier when you have guys that they passed on like Mahomes and Watkins and Gilmore than doing it without them. The bar has been set high though.........the list of players the Bills have passed on or let walk who have gone on to play and play well in SB's and championship games just since McDermott got here is astonishing. This team has a once-in-a-generation level easy schedule and McBeane have been given full control of a roster that was very underrated when they got here and sacrificed two seasons to get to this point so they should be expected to win 10-11 games and have a very good chance to win a playoff game for the first time in 25 years.

You were closer to right than we knew. So now the over/under on Cam being done is 12 months. Mrs. Doubtfire or Mrs. Misfire? A few more light slams oughta' do it.

This is like @stuvian with the "Andrew Luck is done" take.............oh, wait?

Bell is slippery but there were just a lot of arm tackles instead of wrapping up..........Barkley would blow thru those attempted arm tackles too but the difference is he won't just fall forward for an extra yard or two like Bell he will keep going. If they can't get a lead to deter the Giants from running the ball and then tackle like they did last week against Barkley they will end up on those "he broke 6 tackles highlights". On the plus side they should be able to keep more run personnel on the field a lot with the Giants WR corps being decimated.

Saquon Barkley is A LOT better runner than Bell. He is explosive, Bell is not. Bell averaged 4 ypa in 2017.......basically the same that McCoy averaged in a down 2017 season and less than league average per carry. Barkley averaged 5 ypa in 2018...........he and Zeke are the two best, most consistently exceptional RB's in the NFL. And last week Barkley averaged 11 ypa against the Cowboys. The Bills did a good job getting to the ball last week but the tackling sucked.........if Bell was as explosive as Barkley he'd have had a monster day against that Bills defense.

Only on cassingle I already checked.

Moon 1 game over .500 Fouts 2 games over .500 Both known for choking in playoffs Both in HOF Yes you know he's a HOF..........none of us are saying he's anywhere near the GOAT conversation either........... but he's simply checked boxes that we know would be unprecedented for voters to ignore.

And I pointed out the obvious.........he's going to hit the ballot as likely the 10th all time TD passer WAY ahead of a bunch of long careered HOF QB's plus two oustanding performances in SB wins. It will be accurately argued that he doesn't warrant mention in the same breath as Unitas, Montana, Brady etc.. but there are also only going to be around 7 other stud QB's eligible in the first 10-12 years of Eli's eligibility...........he's getting in whether it's like Warren Moon as an accumulator or like Kurt Warner as a guy who had a couple extraordinary SB runs........or both.........but he's getting in.

So he's 8th all time in TD passes AND outduelled the GOAT to win 2 Super Bowls and you guys think he's not making the HOF?? He's going to finish with probably 80-100 more TD passes than Warren Moon who basically made it as a stat accumulator so I wouldn't bet the house on Eli getting left out of the HOF.

No question. I think people sometimes forget that Tom Brady did not become an unstoppable machine on Sundays until he was 30 and Randy Moss was added to his WR corps. Before that he was basically a 230 ypg passer who threw 2 TD to 1 INT during the regular season............getting Moss helped him cross the bridge from a very good QB who was clutch into monster producer who would a be in discussion with greats. And yeah let's be honest.........a competent NFL CB probably doesn't get beaten for that late TD throw to John Brown. The analysts kindly referred to it as a back shoulder throw but it was actually a wobbler thrown much too far to the inside and Brown just beat a woeful CB. On most days you are going to want a Julio Jones or AJ Green on the other end of a pass like that.

He would probably crack the top 15 AFC QB's for the period for his two excellent seasons in SD at a time when QB'ing was a lot harder.
