McConkey just not an X or boundary wr in the NFL. Only for that reason am I not high on drafting him. Give me Legette, Franklin, Thomas, Worthy where we are picking and I’d be thrilled.

You can see his speed on the field pretty clearly. He's legit fast. Pulls away from db's at nearly every opportunity to.

Comparing the throw to the end zone Gabe option rt throw vs Philly is a little off IMO. On the 2nd and 9 play vs. KC, the read is very clear, and Josh and Shakir are seeing it the same way as Shakir starts his movement to the post (it was not as clear on the Gabe play in Philly). Its pitch and catch, easy peasy, and not a challenging throw (for Josh) if Josh doesn't get bumped. It's also where the overall play design wants the ball to go based on the defensive look and execution. You could argue about if the read numbering is high to low or low to high if you want, sure... and you could argue that a longer developing route will allow for a slightly higher chance of pocket contact, but also why would you when the Chiefs played the way they did and had like 3 pressures all game... I am 100% good with the decision, just wish the bump didn't happen.

Its only fans... the coaches expected him to take the shot that he did if it was open, which it was.

I'd say the KC/BUF = NE/IND comparison is MUCH more apt. We aren't losing our division like the Dolphins were. We aren't losing by more than a FG to the Chiefs typically when we do lose to them. We'll get them a couple times in this era (my opinion) Also, F*** Miami

something to consider. You don't have to have an actual diagnosed concussion to be placed into "the protocol".

Can’t behind the Ravens didn’t go for it on 4th and 3

This is an exercise in reading comprehension. Keep it simple, people. The NFL pays PFF for RAW DATA. NOT grades. PFF grades are indeed flawed, as evidenced by many many player season performances over the years being completely out of whack in both directions. This happens especially with linemen on both sides of the ball, and for defenders who implement a lot of zone coverage. PFF simply doesn't know the assignment responsibilities, or the checks and adjustments that occur. With all this said, its no big deal because the NFL isn't using these grades for anything. They are ONLY using the raw data. The grades are certainly not going to come close to that of the accuracy of a coach on the player's team. Now, its quite plain to see with just some basic experience watching the game of football (for one, watching other games in the league), that a player such as Ed Oliver in 2023 is either elite, or fringe elite at worst at his position. If one is going to sit there and try to justify his low PFF grades compared to his peers, then that someone simply has no hope of perceiving the game with any sort of accuracy. It is what it is.

the protocol doesn't change due to it being a 2nd or 3rd occurrence, that I've seen

On a team with a good offense that more often will be punting closer to midfield, a punter that can get you Inside the 20/ inside the 10 numbers is what you want, not avg or net avg even. With that said, that's where Martin has been really killing it for the last 5 weeks. Haack? We shall see, but best option out there, especially due to the familiarity and proven holding consistency.

Seriously… week 4 went pretty well 😀

Wow that’s incredible how deeply we are in their heads that they think the Bills, of all teams, are getting preferential treatment!

Dang you beat me to it!!!!

To be fair, the actual All Pro team isn't out yet. They were speaking about the NFLPA all pro team, which is whatever...

There are ways for you to ensure that. Ways right here in this message board

Anyone see what happened to Dodson?

Its accurate to point out that a MLB in this defense should get some good #'s and opportunities, to Edmunds discredit, but I think its also a discredit to Bernard's ascension to think that his current list of impressive #'s would be fully "expected" in this defense. He has surpassed those expectations with such a full stat sheet, and I was one of those that were 100% down on him until he got on the field in meaningful games this season! His arrival may have saved the season more than any player other than maybe R Douglas, with what happened with Milano.

I was there at this sunny opener... Yep , this was a huge Andre Reed game! Those who were never able to see him much would get a brief microcosm of how he played the game by watching this one!

Keyshawn sure hates him some ‘all things Buffalo Bills’. Always has. Not sure why exactly. He’s also pretty dumb as media members go, so that’s fun too.

Were there bear tracks and a white powdery substance about?

Van Roten is not good. This doesn't change that.

I bet them +5000 on 11/30. Why not, right?

Nice post and good observations. Agreed with much of it. We saw very hard hitting Bills team (especially in the trenches on both sides) out there. As we were walking back to our car after the game, we had the post game show streaming on my phone and the first thing we heard from the host "Bulldog" was that it was not a particularly out of the ordinary game from a physical sense... I think the post-game show needs a new host. Just wow! Sucks that we are forced to listen to that if we want to hear the post-game press conferences right away.

Funny stuff there Simon! Made me think of the original Healy -

90% of our fans miss the deal.... Too much narrow focus on if he is a #2. Gabe is fine ..... As a #3 or #4. Pay him accordingly and its perfectly fine to have him on our team.
