No talk of Poyer and Hyde? They’ll only be a year older and slower next years.
Hyde’s contract will be up, so I presume this is it for him here. Wouldn’t surprise me if Benford is the eventual FS for this team. Poyer will have a year left on his deal, but he’s been a step slower each passing year. Haven’t seen anyone else on this team yet that I’d like taking on the SS role.2 hours ago, LabattBlue said:One will be replaced by Rapp, the other by a Day 1 or 2 pick.
Not sure if I want them to re-sign Rapp. Feel like I see him whiffing at a lot of tackles. -
I would venture to say an older more frail person is more prone to future injuries than a younger person in mint condition. With that said, as I got older, I rolled my ankle less playing basketball, mainly because I couldn’t jump as high versus one point in time. But my effectiveness on the basketball court was also likely lower as a result, too.

I disagree with this. I think the problem is one of loyalties. With Josh, he is loyal to his guys. So he tries to force feed the ball to the likes of Gabe Davis. Josh needs to just throw it to the open guy no matter who it is. As to Dorsey he needs to adopt the philosophy if it's working, don't try to fix it. Trust your eyes and just go with it.
I agree, he does the same with Knox at times. Hopefully success with other guys like Kincaid, Shakir, etc. will teach him the benefits of not force feeding the ball, especially to guys with stone hands. Doesn’t mean Davis and Knox can’t have their moments, but Josh needs other/better options. Davis had one of his best nights against Tampa, but was seemingly aided bc Josh had these other receiving threats too.-

Was Davis hurt at the end of the game btw, or are the Bills maybe exploring Sherfield in there over Davis now? Thought Sherfield was on the field in place of Davis on the last drive.

I don’t have a high football IQ. Can someone give me a short on what 12 personnel is?
Two TEs and one RB on the field,aka 2 WRs too. 11 personnel is one TE and one RB, aka 3 WRs too.

Just now, Toledo Bill said:
The players are going to quit on this guy.
Unbelievable.
End of the game, they show Josh and Burrow shaking hands, and Josh covers his mouth to say something. If anyone has a photo, would be a great “caption this”.3 minutes ago, FrenchConnection said:I think they sent McDermott out there and he had to cover for Dorsey because he’s getting one more week to turn it around. That’s the only way that these comments make sense.
Maybe McD can call the offense and defense on gamedays?? 😂😂 -

Probably the best game of his career, tbh.
He clearly got the message that the intent was to replace him with Douglas..........which would have really put a crimp in his plans to score in unrestricted free agency.
Fortunately for Dane, Benford further injured his hamstring(as foreshadowed this week by Shill Capaccio).........so Dane will likely remain in the starting lineup and Rasul will probably move into Benford's role as the press corner.
Damn, hope Benford isn’t out for too long. Would be nice to at least have him back by the Chiefs game. -

Personally I think of all games this season, Elam should have been playing last night. Man is his jam.
The ankle though. I think you pointed out last night though that the Bills would still in zone way longer than they should. Maybe McD needs to back off his love for zone against some of thesesmarter QBs in the league. I for one am getting sick of these long drives against our defense that are still ending up in points and keeping Josh off the field. By the time Josh gets the ball, he’s got to be thinking don’t screw this up, bc I might not get the ball again!

I’d like to see some vintage Power I next game. That’d be cool.

Possibly, but they do have cap issues. It will be interesting. Just some really bad luck for Tre these past few seasons.
I think their entire defensive backfield is an interesting subject. Micah’s in the last year of his deal, which I’d be surprised if they can and choose to re-sign because of age/salarycap. Dane also in last year of deal. With the trade for Douglas, if somehow Tre gets close to form (a big IF), maybe Benford moves to FS. Elam’s development is also a wild card. Meanwhile, Poyer’s diminishing speed is concerning, so not sure what we should hope to see happen in the SS role. No one on the team impresses me as the potential Poyer successor, but I’m not sure he’s got another season in him.

Well I tried warning you guys for a while but yes it sucks.
Would simply encourage all of you to enjoy rest of season but assume the worst (i.e. no playoffs, losing season, Pegulas keeping McD/Beane and using injury excuse, etc). Life is too short to be emotional and mentally ravaged by this ***** football team.
Is that how you get by as a Dolphins fan? -

I don’t see much point in restructuring TW. Is there much track record of CB’s returning to form post- Achilles injury? I think releasing him before his roster bonus is due is basically a slam dunk.
I’m skeptical if Tre will be able to come back from the Achilles injury, although this regime seems to be about as loyal as they can be to guys who work hard and are seen as leaders within the team. I’ll be surprised if this regime releases him, before giving him that shot at a return. But, I don’t think it’d be unreasonable for them to use the potential release as a bargaining chip to work out a more reasonable deal for both sides.

Before they just cut Tre outright, I think they discuss a restructuring to a level that would be more in line with his new market coming off injury,
With Knox, I think they consider his value in more than just being a pass catching TE, but his blocking ability too.
As for Von, depends his level of play by end of the season. But they’re kind of screwed there no matter what.

Not sure if anyone saw NBC Boston's commentary after the Monday night loss to the Patriots.
They seem pretty confident the Pats ended the Bills season and made them eat *****...
Given morale is rightfully low today, I just wanted to bump this video from a couple years back. Team had just lost to NE in Primetime at home, was 7-6, and staring at not winning division or making playoffs. NE broadcasters were talking a bunch of smack, saying stick a fork in this team, and then this team found its identity and looked like one of the best teams in the league for several weeks in a row.My point is with Josh Allen and some of the talent still around him, we might feel a whole lot different about this team one month from now versus today. Whether that happens or not, I always enjoy revisiting this video and the smugness of these guys being proven totally wrong.

Bold prediction: Once Linval Joseph is on the field more and Douglas is in at CB full-time, the rest of our DL will look way better.
This defense has been reeling from the injuries, AND playing against an elite QB like Burrow did not help. Hosting Russell Wilson on MNF and then Zach Wilson seem like a great get-right spots for this D-line.

If we can’t beat the likes of the Eagles or Chiefs in a few weeks, well then we’re just pretenders anyway. But it ain’t over yet.

I’d be curious to see how he ranks on per snap basis, versus the likes of Peterman and other NFL junkies that have essentially worked their way out of enough playing time to lead in a stat like this.

We’ll finish the season winning all the games left.
We’ll have a 14-3 record but i’m not sure it’ll be enough to be the n.1 seed.
Mark my words.
@Italian Bills - Is it too much to ask you to wave your magic wand again, and predict that we will win the rest of our games this season? There is so much doom and gloom today, this fanbase needs some hope and something to rally around.-

Two penalties in particular were terrible. One was roughing the passer and then the intentional grounding ( I am pretty sure Davis screwed up his route on that one)
Collinsworth was adamant about the tripping call too, which would have at least put us in FG position and stopped the clock. -

As many have said, he's regularly talking to people. It's likely just convenient camera work since weirdo headcase Josh with super athletic skills is the narrative now. He's not actually sitting there in a trance for 10 minutes at a time.

When is anyone going to mention Playoff Lenny? Guy is going to be Josh’s best friend in that backfield.

Twitter - Josh, Von called players only meeting (reporter also mentioned possibility at McD presser)

Great commercial. If Josh would have showed up at the end in the same outfit too, I would have lost it.
