Projects need more patience. Calling them busts is unfair in the 1st year, and even the second if they are improving. Not all fans feel this way based upon where they were drafted. The Coaches will know when their pick did not work out. That is part of the faith I have in McBeanes. where Mr Brandon and or Whaley might have hung on too long, or pushed an agenda. Bust < project. How much time does one allow to make a decision fro Allen (who has already been getting called out ) Oliver and Edmunds as well. all 1st round" projects"

it does seem that way. One of my peeves is when we discuss what a player is paid and then hold him accountable. or his draft. If there is an issue it is with McBeanes. and to that point.. Bills needed a 1 tech in the middle to run that defense on early downs. Did they choose the wrong guy to pay? Probably. and more certainly looking at it with today's view points Bills could do better. Seems they are making some changes to resolve the issue. I do watch the lines as best as i am able and Star does get turned, and needs to add some hustle to his game. Continuous improvement means that Bills need to improve what Star is giving them against the run , and perhaps pass. One of the things to note is that Morse ( being a smaller cerebral guy) get blown off the ball sometimes. That is what Bills need from the Tackles even in run defense. some sincere push gap control is swell when it works. but fo LBs to sort out

yep ! they really need to stay late after class and practice the full speed deep ball with Brown and Foster at least, if not Mc and Roberts as well

Bills dominate the run game Both sides of the ball. and cherry would be a deep TD .... to anyone who can get under it !

this is a fair statement on both counts.

thanks OP

But i think strongly , that was exactly the point. impose thine will won't count against the Browns though. lol Bills need to establish the run and set the tone that way. as you mention RO and play action is where Daboll wants to be with Allen imo

even though McD love those penetrating DTs? Kid needs time , not all do.but he does. let us be gracious enough to allow him a season or so.

If Beanes can structure a contract for Phillips to accept ? God bless him. and this is a Guy who wants to play in Buffalo. He respects his chance given here. we have a few other players like that. As Fans we can just cheer him on and ramp up the noise, let what will happen happen. I am quite sure he is well respected within the Bills organization, and not just for his production this year. Go 97 !

i smelled snark 3 times here. i think it was snark...

I agree this year has been much more challenging my friend. But they still play the game just as hard, imho. that front seven needs some dialing in perhaps ? : (

such a good story. : ) Delighted you shared it for sure. as a Dad i would be just as thankful that folks looked after my dumbass kids ( not yours, Mine lol ) so well. those impressions last forever , i have noticed in my kids so cool he called you and told the story ! : )

this is horrid we cannot have nice things and never will. i am so bummed out how well he is playing

Is your Nurse nearby? and could you put her on the phone for me? I think that was the intention. roll of the dice of course. But if he was picked up, it is just as well for Beanes. Kid keeps his NFL career rolling. all good. wish him well It was time for Taylor is all

geesh. any positive takes ? Poyer and Hyde or to notch players. iif there were a wtf emote i would add it here

if he could play both techs it would benefit the Bills as a team. and if Offenses get lazy could benefit him as well : ) well said. simple and to the point. Taylor was worth a shot for sure. not bad for a 6th rounder today

see above ^^ I think they wanted to see if Foster had his sheets together yet. he did not

i may not agree with the O line as Singletary got some . and Washington was playing the run more often than not But yes and yes about Foster ( i think that was McD doing and acid test, he failed) he should be gone and put Duke back on the field for now. and i get too stressed when Allen has the ball and running. part because of injury, but more because of what he did again. Letting the ball get away from him. Those mistakes by him are game changers. and must be corrected fully. not cool Josh

good post

dude I love your efforts. read every word. you are fairly fantastic, and certainly appreciated by most all here. never mind the minor snips and snipes. keep on keeping on Virgil !

i expect they will turn it on when the season is demanding him to. Team is still in development mode. lets us not forget how revamped the Offense is this year. is gutted a good a word here ?

it is a concern. but lets watch the rest of the season. he started out pretty hot. saw him stack and shed today. Move off the blocker into the correct lane But i was not watching him closely. i have always been a 3-4 hybrid type and like to see a downhill LB of the snap once in awhile

Ravens may be their biggest challenge to date on any sunday

you mean win the SB don't you ? beat that asz and parley for the Big one

beastly awesome play . Redskins were fooled. and the fat kids were awesome running and looking to unload the wood Till they can get the push. obviously
