Yes!
The wet noodle well predates the comfy chair, at least in written history. Nice work there Pops

I’ve gone back and forth, and as much as I want to watch the Bills play this Sunday, the health of the players is simply more important.
There’s no way the Bills players should have to fly to Tennessee and play a team that is STILL seeing new players test positive every day.
Do I want a cancelled game or a win by forfeit? No. But both sound better than 10 Bills players getting COVID.
I’m onto the Chiefs.
I think this is about where i land as well.
Shame on the Titans.
if proven negligent, there also should be Team repurcussions.
Crazy everything year eh -

Didn't mean to criticize your friend. He sees lots of ghosts.
My name isn't Sam Darnold so I never seen a ghost:)
ExpandThe real story is that Adam Gase unleashed his evil eye, but unfortunately has terrible aim. He hit his own team.
To be a Jets player must be kinda awesome these days...even staff can feel the magic that is Gase

Daboll’s from Buffalo and this is his dream job I agree with you completely. I think he turns them down even if they back up the brinks truck on his front door😂. Now the jets are going to be paying for 3 coaches that are no longer on the team. And if they fire Douglas then they have to pay him for the next 5 years since they gave him a six year deal. No GM or HC with a brain is going to touch the jets.
Pegula's pay the Coaches Bills.
Glory of winning the SB via the Bills Offense would be a supreme reward I might think. and then why not do it twice? just for the deep imprint into history.
He would be a Buffalo Legend till forever.
Brian should shoot for that. For now at least.Go Bills
ExpandNot really he is what I thought he would be. A guy who gives you a play on r two where you go "Wow" but then turns the ball over. He has no leadership and you cannot win in the NFL as a QB if you aren't a leader. Not to mention he is deathly afraid of ghosts.
How many ghosts have you had visit?
yea i thought so
if someone who can Coach him back up can grab him soon enough? He might become redeemed. but soon. Its plenty scary playing for that Gase.

1 game at a time
Tenn game is massive. Win that and we can afford a loss vs the Chiefs, going into the NE game 6-1 would be so crucial.
our defense needs to improve though, Titans will be a huge test with their power run game
Never ever comfortable. This is Our Buffalo Bills after all.

Is that where they stick the camera down your throat or #2?
thats an -oscopy
ExpandAn endoscopy typically refers to looking into the throat, stomach and (first part, at least) of the small intestine.
yep. sure does.
Then they try the other door .
ExpandDo they use the same camera for the one that goes up your bing hole and which do they do first?
depends on the patients attitude i suppose.lol
actually they even have different Drs and techs.

I think Houston should purge the roster and IR Watson. Trade all the vets ASAP. They need building blocks and cap space ASAP.
I seen some watt talk and he’s not my favorite player but that guy will kill himself to play for a ring. We could do worse. I expect a fire sale over therebeanes will keep an eye on this . certainly the players who might shake free via trade etc.
Just a horrid example of poor ownership and allowing the Team to be nearly ruined for years to come by one man.

Better CB depth is no bad thing.
It'll be interesting to see where he goes when he gets on the field.
Levi had a decent game last week, so I expect him to start, regardless.
Norman might take snaps away from Taron though, or they might rotate him in some.
Not sure what to expect honestly. But i would not expect him to play outside without help or be asked run deep with Raiders rec's at this point.

Seems to me Daboll is using our tight ends in a hybrid/H-Back role.
We have also been going heavily on 4-WR sets during our first three games.
So while I'm seeing calls for the Bills to grab one of the NFL's top pass catching TEs (like Zach Ertz), you need to consider our current scheme and the way the Bills are using that position. I'm not sure every pass catching TE is capable of filling the H-Back role. And you need to question dishing out $8-10 million per year on a position that will likely be 4th-5th in the receiving pecking order.
You simply can't have Pro-Bowl talents at every position, and stay under the salary cap. The Bills now have plenty of mismatches in the passing game, and I would rather save our cap space to keep someone like Matt Milano.
BDaboll is making good use of this Offense. and he mixed it up a bit when he was using Smith vs Gilliam. Good range of talent/skill set for O coord to work with.
no elite and Kroft is pedestrian. But a solid pedestrian is still a threat. Team game wins the day anywaysyou are insightful to look at scheme and personnel matchups 328

I begged this board to start him quite a few times, begged !
somebody must have deleted my posts 😁
yes. I saw that happen. quite a few times.
seems unfair at this point? now that you are correct. The humanity indeed.
Stubborn Coaches.
Just cant hear old fashioned good sense sometimes.Thanks gosh Our Tyler Kroft pulled his britches up abraiding his testicles up and played football finally. Knox Kroft and Gilliam with L Smith punching faces is not a bad set of packages for Daboll.
Just wait till my boy Sweeney sees the lightswitch and flips it? ooowee !Go Bills
Expand100% agree. Posted that many times over the summer when many on here wanted to cut Kroft
yes i recall it well

They ran out of a lot of 3 WR sets. They would block the LBs and leave Taron open to go 1 on 1 with the RB. Great concept. It worked. If we have a Lb out there in those in those situations, expect them to target that LB through the air. Catch 22.
too light for that work ?
Marlowe?? -

Most of those missed blocks were attempted on Donald. I believe it when people say he's the best defensive player in the NFL. I think he may be the best on either side of the ball. Bottom line is that we ran well and the rest of the Rams DL weren't very effective. In the first 2 games, we didn't run well and the protection was so-so. Our DL is struggling even more despite all those FA signings. We need to be more aggressive about building in the trenches or that will become our achilles heel. We may get pushed around by more physical teams. How many times can Josh and our WR's bail us out?
They owe the defense for at least one season

Tough job these days. what you and our Mods have to filter then decide on the day to day.
Respect that.
my only concern is how you define the line of an argument taking place.
arguing facts is not a bad thing
and i hope maybe there is an expected amount of back and forth that should work itself out.
my only point really?Thank you ^

I love Lorenzo. He's a Bill for life. But you're either all-in or you're not. Enjoy your retirement, Lo!
agreed about getting on the field as a player? I hope it is never needed. But as a Coaching asset ?
:)ExpandI respectfully disagree. I think if Zo came back he would be the definition of all-in. It is in his DNA. The way he acted his entire career. What kept him in the league so long despite the fact no one wanted him at the outset. I think he senses this could be special, and that he respects McDermott enough to say "only if you think I can help, I will be there."
This is also true.
No question if McBeanes called him ? He would be all in and then some ! and me too !
just hope Bills are not in need of his help. Who wears # 57 now? Maybe we see what he can do yet ? -

I was not complaining about the progress McBeane has made, probably reading too much into it but don't think you are saying that is how I came across....
Just saying that it has been a drought at that position for too long, and I am extremely pleased that Dabs and Beane have actively worked to address it both in FA and via the draft.
With Dabs having worked with NE's offense and exclusively as NE TEs coach from 2014-16 and seen how valuable they were to Brady and NE's game I am sure influenced those priorities.
I agree with you !
ExpandKroft, as I have not been a huge fan, has been banged up and now appears healthy. Tyler had a great game last Sunday and Knox, even thou he has a few drops here and there, continues to get better. We are in better shape at tight end than we have been in some time- I am pleased where we are heading at the position.
I have changed my opinion of him a bit since last week or so
For the better of course.
system defines the TEs i think sometimes.-

Still like Hock, but he is on a bad team with a QB who struggles spreading the ball around. I liked the guy the Jags picked as well so I am going to take a peek to see how he is doing. OK, yikes - the Bills dodged a bullet on that one as the Jags traded ahead of us to pick up Josh Oiiver who had some of the best hands out of the bunch, but is on his second straight IR season. Tore hamstring year one and broke a bone in his foot this year during practice.
Tough breaks and not uncommon for TEs to get dinged as we have experienced on the Bills. They are big guys that move and cut like WRs have to block in a scrum of bodies, and defensive players almost always cut them at or below the knees to make stops because they are big dudes. Hock was injured pretty early last year so who's to say whether either is a bad pick or what they could have done on this Bills team.
Fant has looked good too, was not a bad year for TEs, so I can understand Beane's philosophy of waiting for gems to fall as he did this year with a draft deep in WRs and grabbing Davis. That being said, as we saw in the Rams game and have seen from NE over the decades, having quality TEs who can get open and catch changes the math.
Look no further than Allen 3 TDs to TEs this past game (2 to Kroft and one to Smith). Scoring TEs have been the missing ingredient in Bills offenses for far too long.
Bills have never focused on getting most out of the TE position. Charles Clay was some form of effort by Whaley that seriously backfired. We have more mixed talent at the position than at any time i can recall .
I would be foolish to complain at the progress McBeanes has made.

Blocking ability is debatable, and hopefully, Knox would continue to improve in that category. Kroft's hands are certainly more reliable-- that's inarguable. But, equally inarguable is that Knox's YAC is superior to Kroft's. Be that as it may, Kroft would seem to be the better all-around TE at this moment. But, I'm not giving up on Knox's potential. If he gets the drops under control, he could develop into a top-tier TE, IMO.
Krofts hands?
can you back that up
we know about Knox's sufferingly painful drops

nice Kroft shows up for sure.
Maybe he is truly healthy ?
Knox is going to be part of this Team for at least this season. Lets cheer for the Kid. he i a Beast and has not hit his potential by any means.
But if he does not fix the pass catching this season ? like Kroft has flipped his switch to ON ? He may not survive next years cut downs.-

They have already invested heavily in FA with signing of Kroft and Smith. They can't pay premium FA dollars at every position especially when a QB and MLB contract extension is coming up soon.
The draft looks to be where McBeanes will need to find gems for awhile.
But when Kroft comes off the books? that opens up the budget a bit
ExpandIf you mean about Kroft, then I agree. I have seen very very little to give any confidence in his ability to be available and make a positive impact on the O.
If you made a general statement about my posts, do explain.
Without Kroft? Absolutely because he does not add anything to the O.
But the team in general will benefit from a competent TE especially in those games where the opposing D has a good DB stable. The TE position has been a weakness for far too long. I realize that not all problems can be fixed on a team, but I hope Gilliam can step up as the position is ripe for the taking
My poor sense of humor in regard to Kroft
Per today's GM Call Titans likely to be made an example of by NFL...
