In fairness it DS, I dont think the team has a good run scheme. That said I dont think he is a true #1 back, but would sure like him as the #2.

The difficulty in replacing Brown next year is who is available and at what cost. I dont think it could be said that RT is the missing link on the team, so what resources would it take to get a real improvement. If they try to draft his replacement the best shot is at the end of the 1st round. Last year 5 OL were taken in the 1st round and 3 of them in the top 10 picks. So, maybe the Bills could get the 4th- 6th best OL prospect in the draft with their pick. It would be hard to think that there is a notably better prospect than Brown if they dont trade up. Any OL in the draft that is a off the bus starter will unlikely be gone when they pick. Of course there could be a great prospect on the board but not likely a sure thing. With their first pick I would like to see them take the player that they think has the best possibility of being a star, regardless of position. Finding his replacement as a free agent would be expensive. Any tackle that is considered good will not be cheep. And, we all know the Bill are tight on the cap. We know Brown has the physical tools so the idea of him taking a step forward in year 3 is not completely unreasonable. Im not saying they should not try to improve the position but dont think they should use a lot of the limited resources on a flyer.

Dont think there should be a big extension for Ed.

Question to the OP. Brown was a mismatch. That said of the 39 pass plays how many times did Brown get help? If Brown got beat on 18% of the pass plays, It would be nice to know what percentage of the time he got help. That would give some clue to the job the coaches are doing in regards to game plan and adjustments. 80% of the pass plays the O-line won, does not sound too bad.

He has shown that he has a lot of guts. Like to think we could put a guy out there with 2 arms tho...

Play the lower seeded teams and not having to play in the opponents stadium...

Since last weeks game is a no contest can Cole be called up again?

Ive always thought that the championship game should be at a neutral field. I dont think it is fair for 1 team to have the advantages of a bye week, play one less game, and have home field. Teams in a conference dont play the same schedule, so a team could play in the weakest division, play the 2nd weakest division in their conference and the weakest team in the other conference.

Not going to lie, when I saw the play and the guy celebrating afterwords I thought it should have been a flag. And shocked that the colts did not rough the clown up a bit. Also, was disappointed when the Bills didnt check Gronk for his cheep shot.

It pretty funny how some guys are acting like we gave up a 1st round pick for him... He is a practice squad player!!! He is not even taking up a spot on the 53 man roster. Considering we have 2 WRs from the opening day roster on IR, Im happy to have him!

So after 2 years he walks away with 35 million, not too shabby...

Wonder when Ike will be ready?

Big difference is whan Tre came in in 2017 the other CBs were not very good..

He might play due to injuries at other positions. We know Phillips is out and not sure about Milano. He might dress due to the numbers game... And if he does dress he might play in man coverage situations. The good news is that we have a corner of his ability that might not be active on game day...

So, Fisher just signed how well prepared will he be? Miami is staying out west this week, not a good week to come in and learn the offense. How long will it take to get into game shape?

Any reports on who did not practice today?

I thought I saw 1 play last night with Hines and cook in the backfield, could be some interesting wrinkles down the road...

Will he be able to return from IR?

Singletary has been running well imo. Cook has plenty of potential he looks like a back who can get to the corner, something we have not had in a while. Lets hope he learns and improves each game, he could he a valuable weapon when the playoffs begin. Any plays they design for him we likely work for Hines too....

I loved him when he started to call games!! But lately I find my self telling him to shut up......

The fact that he is not playing is ok, but what confuses me is that they brought him back to practice too early. Once they brought him back most people assumed that he would be playing within 3 weeks.

I did not see this posted yet. https://billswire.usatoday.com/2022/11/11/ike-boettger-first-buffalo-bills-practice-injury/?utm_campaign=trueanthem&utm_medium=trueanthem&utm_source=facebook&fbclid=IwAR0BamVdD9EApX44CpO5YUKcpmz0Rba9PpVfqYOoY5phPN_h3cGnPuErykI

This thread sucks.... We know the Bean did reach out to 2 teams and could not get a deal done. We dont know how many others teams he contacted. Plus, OBJ could be on the horizon. The idea if a trade does not happen it is a fail is ridiculous, but I guess if Bean over pays for a player that is not needed it will make some folks happy.

Anyone have a clue when Ike will be ready?

Im not convinced that the RBs are the issue. When I watch the games I see defenders in the hole like they knew the play was coming. IMO its more of a game plan or blocking execution problem.
