Does Simms being "right" about Tre get cancelled out by him being completely wrong about our ability to run vs. the vaunted Bengals run D? Just checking.

Let’s go Stidham, lol!

Now that would be something

We literally always play in a 4-2-5 alignment (well ok, 99% of the time)

Tre's technique out there looks excellent. He's a half step slow right now but beyond that , no issues. Baldies breakdowns from 2 weeks ago confirms some of his very good play. Simms has gone full Burrow of late and everything that comes with that. (Maybe Josh broke up with him)

Wind took that one big time Dangit

Do you think Brown can get the knee bend and leverage he needs on the inside at his stature? I still think he can develop at RT - if we recall back when players were developed (lol) O-lineman typically took 3 years. With SB being from a tiny program in college and his boatload of athleticism, should we not allow him another season? Tough part of course is you have to let him play out there in order for him to develop

Morse being out is why the offense has stumbled. It’s not really much more complex than that

I can't remember a player on the Bills having so many pancake blocks get called as holding penalties. Maybe Ruben? Possibly Ballard? I feel like Dawkins is running away with that one.

it's actually a fair point to bring forth. Not to excuse our drops which generally cannot be excused... It's of course impossible to put it "in a lab", but I do wonder how say a WR like Garrett for the Jets would do catching JA fastballs in the snowy wetness that was Sunday as compared to receiving not quite so fast balls from White? With that said, JA doesn't gun every throw the same. But I wonder if even more touch needs developing by JA on the slippery type days...

In general I agree with this. Only difference is I disagree at times that he's not seeing it. I've seen him multiple times look through his reads, get to a read where Knox or someone else is wide open for a short gain and move on to the next read, deeper down the field. He is seeing these shorter open reads and choosing not to pull the trigger. At times it has worked out and other times, we end up punting.

a few posters called this one yesterday! Nice re-add of run stopping DT depth.

Not really. He'll still be out there, and will be of value to the team...just maybe (hopefully) not so much in clutch type situations. We do run 4 and 5 wide at times. A lot of times.

yep they need to run the broadcast through EQ normalizing or compression. Since its on a delay already (6 seconds or wtvr it is?) I feel like this is possible

Love this take overall... Especially the comment about limiters or compression so true, LOL! ... and you're right about Brown he does his homework better than most of them, even though most see him as a useless homer.

The nice thing is our QB, owner and GM agree, and think of McD as a great leader, mentor, program manager and one of the best coaches in the league. Who the F cares what 5 or 6 trolls/dumb dumbs think about him? Mike Tomlin (and prior, Bill Cowher) had literally an army of haters on the internet. Clearly, both are/were incredible head coaches... If you come here for information about team developments, this is a great place If you come for education/accurate hunches and opinions on the Bills or football in general, do your research in what posters to read that qualify for that. Its a wee fraction of the community as a whole (that's the nature of an open forum).

How about you f$#^&*g appreciate the kind and gentle education/proven rebuttal of your takes you're getting from some of your fellow bills fans on this site and just simply throw them a nod? Do you simply HAVE to be "right" against all odds and facts. A lot of people on message boards should give it a try! Like "hey man, you know what? I was off on that and you proved it. Thanks man! Happy Holidays. Go Bills!"

McKenzie has been an unexpected but crucial key to the last two victories. He’s been a reliable first down getting machine, displaying good ball protection as well. Love seeing this from him and hope he can keep it up.

I think that was it more than anything. Leslie Frazier had mentioned something earlier in the week about him managing the pain. But its "spicier" to say and think he got "benched"

Go Bengals and go 49ers!

I’m as surprised as the next guy…. Pleasantly. That’s an L without his efforts yesterday

Who woulda known? McKenzie saved their bacon today in terms of consistency

He was walking up and down the sidelines and rooting happily and looking pretty casual on our lead taking drive. I’d say no chance he misses 3 to 5 games. Maybe one

Jacksonville game? Was there...was painful. Was that also the game where Bruce had Natrone Means stopped in the backfield for the win but then he busts out and scores?

Looks fine
