Hey Kwai, I am old and hopelessly devoted to standard English - the kind you might find in Webster's Dictionary. Can you tell me what this means?

I’m going to guess that McDermott determined that Phillips is not fully back from his injury. A torn ACL can take 18-24 months for full recovery. The Bills need Phillips to occupy two offensive linemen, 600+ pounds of world class athlete. That doesn’t necessarily mean that he is a lost cause or out of favor with the organization. It may simply mean he needs more time to get to 100%. McDermott’s supportive words here could be encouragement to Harry as he works to get to the “ready-ready” finish line. More broadly speaking, we as fans, would do well to be more respectful of injuries and what players endure: - White has an ongoing back injury, his play suffers, and some accuse him of being happy with his money. - Edmunds guts it out with an ongoing shoulder injury and some call him a bust, as he essentially plays one-handed. - As Milano works through a strained or slightly torn pec, some say do away with him. The commentary I have read over the past month leads me to suspect that many on this board have never played contact sports, and therefore, haven’t a clue.

This was a part of the Jets game (along with our second half D) that I really enjoyed watching. There was a glimpse of the consistent precision we need if we're going to truly be a part of the the league's top echelon. Josh Allen's growth continues.

That is a very unfortunate statement. Actually, trashy is a good way to describe it.

I live in Boston. Yes, if I see Buffalo apparel, "Go Bills" is automatic. I also write it on white boards in our office building. Haven't been caught yet.

You've got it backward. The worry of some fans reflects on them, not the team. Also, "this is not a good team" reveals your bias and lack of knowledge. We are what our record says we are, 4-2 and on pace to win the AFC East.

Prepping for two games this week is McDermott being a professional - which he certainly is. Traveling to Tennessee is acquiescing to the NFL, accepting that the NFL is prioritizing player safety. If you believe they are, then good. I believe the NFL is placing health and safety as a secondary concern, which is why I believe refusing to go to Tenesee would be a strong act of leadership, in the name of health and safety, by the Bills organization.

Yes, that is why I would view it as a strong act of leadership. Leadership means sacrifice. And, it is that easy, when you stand on principle.

Having quietly watched the situation and read about the positives/exposures/infections, I am not confident that the Titans are even close to being able to host others without passing the virus on. I would like to see McDermott and Beane tell the NFL that the Bills are refusing to go to Tenessee at this time. Honestly, I believe that would be a strong leadership act. Buffalo's facility is (as far as testing has shown) clean, so far. If ONE member of our organization, player or coach, gets infected in Tenessee, the entire Bills organization will be challenged to get past it for a month - or more. I think it is time for the Bills organization to face the NFL and firmly say, "enough is enough, we're not doing this."

Oh heck, if being out of shape is part of the deal, please sign me up. I am a retired rugby player, after a 30 year career. The only advantage that gives me is full knowledge that I cannot run the width of a field. Isn't that why they have zone defenses?

In the Super Bowl years, penalties on our offense used to make me happy because it gave Kelly and Thurm the chance to rack up more yards. I was that confident and relaxed. I am not currently there yet. In fact, these first four weeks have had me a nervous, shaking, sweaty wreck. Without my bourbon, I wouldn't survive. Seriously, I do believe in Josh, the team and especially McDermott. I think McDermott is special. Awesome times!

Easy on the language there, Buddy.

For the second straight week, the Bills are on local TV in Boston. Oh, happy day! BTW - local Pats fans still speak as if they don't know who we are. These are the best of times.

Thank you, Shaw, for a great write up and providing a Sunday morning smile to Bills fans. I believe yesterday's roster decisions, and most significantly, the decision to keep Trent Murphy, is an exclamation point on your assessment. Our priority is winning - now, not saving money for next year. Sundays became exciting as soon as Beane and McDermott joined the Bills. Next week, Sundays will become thrilling.

Is this true? I try to pay close attention and haven't seen anything about AJ struggling.

I work for a biotech that is heavily involved in COVID test development and production. A problem (not the only one, but one) is tests being administered by unqualified people. That has led to false positives. Testing has to be conducted according to procedure, by qualified health professionals. Results have too many implications to not be taken seriously.

This, completely, We had a fully developed, check-down game manager We now have a developing swashbuckler Whether you like Josh or not (me like), any comparison to Tyrod is a fail.

Congratulations on the injection of snark. Of course, it adds nothing to the conversation and shows no real thinking skills. But, well done. Oh, and I really don't get the Ford hate.

This may be the most poory written product I have seen in my life. Were you attempting to be incomprehensible? If so, congratulations.

I think the single-most overlooked Bill needs to be in this discussion, Kent Hull. He was the rock, the glue and the offensive line brains.

This is a fun list, for not having a first rounder. If we go the "big nickel" direction, it will tell me that McDermott is committed to a top three defense. I believe in our brain trust enough to celebrate whichever direction they go.
