He touched him. But they are not consistent. They didn’t give this call against Josh he slides and keep hitting him. I guess they give it immediately if you touch the Aqaba head

This is like my colleague st work longtime ago; when our CEO announced our company being acquired and all employees making money - my colleague complained that now he had to pay MORE taxes to the IRS !!!! We had a chance to hire Fangio last year

Not worried about that. The Bills play the schedule they are given This time I wrote it all by myself. Becoming a mini chatGpT

To be fair, the defense bailed out the offense in the 2nd quarter. Otherwise, the score could have been different.

Hard to believe we are done with 4 of the 17 games. Here are my takes at the end of the 1st quarter of the NFL Season. Josh Allen continues where he left off: Josh is in form and trending towards another MVP caliber season (and hopefully a SB Winning season). He was super-human against Baltimore in the 4th quarter throwing for 250+ yards to mount a fierce comeback that resulted eventually in a 41-40 victory. Josh is playing percentage football that protects the football and at the same time ready to do his Josh Allen Magic. Rise of James Cook Two weeks into Training Camp, it was not clear what was going to be the situation with James Cook. There were completely opposite views with most of them insisting that Cook was a two-down back and also couldn't block. Four games into the season, Cook has proven most of them wrong showing that he can be a workhourse back grinding yards in chunks. His speed has been outstanding and that complimented with his vision has elevated his level of play that would be suprising even to James Cook. Now the question is - can he take this all the way through the 18-week grind into the playoffs. The Slithery Shakir Shakir has been amazing during this 4-game stretch. Its statistics will not show what he has done; but tapes don't lie. He continues to make clutch plays as evidenced by the key 3rd down conversion against the Saints. The two TDs that he scored are amazing highlight reels...In one, he just moved so fast that there was not a single defender anywhere close to him. On the second one, he clearly showed that he can break tackles while maintaining his balance and rumble into the end zone. Free Agent Contributions Josh Palmer signed a $35M contract to be the speed receiver. He has made a few critical catches to move the sticks, but nothing much beyond that. Hoecht and Ogenjobie are on the suspended list until week six. Bosa has shown some flashes to get to the QB. The Bills focuse don re-signing their own players and hence not much expectation from the Free Agent signings. Re-signing your own players The Bills signed Shakir, Groot, Bernard, Benford and Cook to large contracts ($50M+) and the results have been mixed. Cook has been amazing and the driver of this vehicle. He has been everything and more than advertised. Shakir continues to be Shakir and Bernard too though to a lesser extent. Rookie Contributions Walker and Hawes have been great making critical and clutch plays. Sanders and Strong have been on the field but have been just ok. Hairston is still working through his rehab and possibly still out 3-4 weeks. Jackson and Hancock have been healthy scratches. Need more strong performance from this group if we have to move the needle against Baltimore or the Chiefs. The Same Old Same Old The Bills invested heavily on Defense in the offseason. They signed Pass Rusher Joey Bosa and Hoecht along with Ogunjobie to play Defensive Tackle. They spent the first four picks in the NFL draft on defense, drafting Hairston (CB), Sanders (DT). Jackson (DE), Walker (DT), Hancock (S) and Strong (CB). They are also re-signed Benford, Bernard and Groot to massive contract extensions. However, the results in the 1st quarter of the season remains the same..Last against the Run and inability to get off the field on 3rd and long has made Bills fan crazy and frustrated. The Bills continue to serve a ultra-conservative offense even though it is led by the league MVP. However, Josh Allen has learned to play within that system and keep the chains moving and the points coming. Milano and Spencer Brown continue to miss games as they did the last few years. While it might give opportunity to other backup players. not having them on the field hurts this team more than anything else. Bills in Q2 of the Season - What will they do? What do the Bills need to fix to improve their play? * Pass Rush - This is non-existent now..they need to get better in this area if they want to beat the best QBs in the league * DT & LB - Change is coming in both these positions to stop the run. The Bills need to find a way to stop the run bleed. *. More involvement of Coleman and Palmer. Both these guys need a lot of touches and Josh needs to get the ball to them. Result - 4-0 The most important aspect of the season...the Bills are yet to lose a football game. They have scored 30+ points in each of those four games. They are leading the division by 2 games and are 2-0 within the division with a critical and important game coming this Sunday against the up and coming Patriots on SNF. They are two games up on the 2-2 Chiefs awaiting a week 7 showdown in Orchard Park. They are a game ahead of the surging chargers and the 3 1/2 games ahead of the fading Ravens team. While there is a ton of things to fix, the team has stuck together during the tough times that has taught them on how to win the close games. At the end, the only thing matters is the final scoreboard. Go Bills !!!

Fix the Run Defense Get off the field on 3rd and Longs Involve your 2nd and 3rd RBs in the game Still waiting for a breakout game for Josh Palmer. Where is Dawson Knox? Where is Taylor Rapp? Where is Groot ?

We had 12 man on the field earlier when Bosa couldn't get off the field quickly. We were docked 5 yards for that. The TO was taken because we only had 10 people on the field and the Saints had Big Men on the field by putting more TEs.

The suspensions for Hoecht and Ogunjobie are ending in two weeks after which the Bills can get them back in the 53-man roster. McDermott needs to find spots for them on the 53 man roster. With Samuel now healthy, coach is trying to see if he can replace Codrington on kickoff returns and use others for punt returns. If this situation works, Codrington will be gone and the Bills will be able to make a decision on replacing Codrington with Hoecht or Ogunjobie. The 2nd guy who may be on the chopping block will be Solomon unless the Bills can trade Epeneza and his $6M salary (cap relief)

yet another guy who got a new contract and not living up to it.

Keeping the score to under 20 points is always good enough for a Josh Allen led offense. The issue that continues to plague this team is its ability to stop the run and get off the field on 3rd and longs.

I don't know if it is the scheme or the personnel. I hope it is the latter as we will get reinforcemnts with Hoecht, Obenjobie and Hairston.

I almost think that other players have no respect for this players game as he is an Aussie.

Bosa deserves a game ball

That belongs to the last 1st pick of the draft before the rookie salary cap came into effect. Sam Bradford made approximately $130M without doing much in the NFL playing for four teams.

i am not a believer in remvoing specific statistics and skewing the result. The Bills defense is what it is...poor against the run and average against the pass. The pass rush needs to get to the QB...something that is missing. The Bills need to change that narrative today

Could have, should have, would have....the game of chances....that is why they play the game...The Giants didn't show up and Mahomes did.

or in the playoffs. I still think that if the Bills gave the ball to cook on those several 4th down plays, he would have got them.

I don't see how they will be underdogs to the Ravens when they are playing at Arrowhead.

Hill is available !!!

We are going ti meet one of them in the playoffs no matter what. They are still 2 of the 4 b st teams in the conference. what I would hate to see is one of them in the divisional round. I would rather have one of those two teams come to Buffalo for the AFCC

Coaching helps when your players are tackling well on the field.

The bills defense gave 40 points to that team and kept the game close. Our defense needs to improve in a hurry

Then you pay his current contract as is. A lot of teams are against the cap and unlikely to spend on his full contract. if he clears waivers then teams are free to sign him to a new contract

SB Win

Even if they miss, it is still a 1-possession game
