I agree, but I still would not play Allen if his arm is compromised.

I would not mess around with the franchise’s passing elbow. Let it heal or you could ruin him long-term. If he loses arm strength, Allen becomes middling so let it heal right.

We’ll sure, it is a 1/2 game lead over Jets and Miami with them holding tie breaker over Bills. No guarantee Bills win this division. Jets and Miami are much better than everyone thought.

They miss Poyer and Hyde, particularly in run D. They were also missing Milano which was big. The offense was the problem today. As another poster said, it is Allen and Diggs with a little support from Singletary. Davis had a big week or two after his injury, but nothing since and I root for McKenzie, but he is only a decent backup. What is their lead in the division?

0-2 in AFC East.

This is f*cing embarrassing. Defense Gashed

Defense getting pushed around badly.

Allen looks human, suddenly.

Why?

Looks like the plays that Daboll left behind are worn out and Dorsey can’t come up with new ones.

Gonna lose this game.

WTF WAS THAT? Bad Josh.

Defense is not really playing well.

Feeling that this game is getting away.

Wilson is killing them. Maybe consider some double coverage?

Might be time to put Shakir in. Davis and McKenzie are doing nothing. I know they don’t like to play rookies, but the WR play can’t get much worse besides Diggs.

Need more from Gabe Davis.

Jets are pretty good.

McKenzie is not good enough.

After Diggs, this is a very weak receiver group. Davis has talent, but he is very inconsistent.

Additionally, many of the OL starters missed much of camp.

I understand that the Bills could not afford (cap) to bring in a high price get. I am not a huge Kadarius Toney fan, but I liked that move by the Chiefs. I don’t know who could have been had (maybe nobody), but it is game over if Diggs goes down. Now, probably would be anyway even if they had brought someone in by trade. However, if Davis gets hurt again, who can play? Not McKenzie or Kumerow.

Hines is ok and can maybe be a better punt and kick returner than Bills currently have (though I thought Shakir was fine returning punts). Is he any better than Cook or just more experienced? For a team that doesn't run the ball much, another RB is an "interesting" acquisition. Also, note that this team has zero RBs that could be described as "short-yardage" backs. That is an area the team is pretty deficient in.

Well, you are right that McKenzie can't be trusted. When I look at this receiver group it is 80% Diggs, 20% Davis and a bunch of nobodies. I thought that Shakir would have gotten more opportunities by now, but the fact that he can't bump McKenzie from the lineup makes for a scary situation.

Lottery ticket for a veteran NFL backup that knows the system. OK, I guess.
