On the Ravens' forum, they've gotten their pitchforks out, have lit the torches, and are calling for Harbough's head on a spike. Bills fans should be able to settle down a bit, and give McD, and the coaching staff their props. Allen was a superhero, sure, but that was a well-coached game against arguably the strongest roster in the conference.

I'm feeling pretty good about my "Superstar" vote in the Coleman poll rn.

One of the best things about victories is we then see the haters, those who bash almost all the Bills' leadership does, not know what to do with themselves. As they come out from the cracks and crevices under the sink to throw water on the victory, no matter how they have to do it:
'Oh yeah, your Bills are so good, huh? What about this....?"
They don't know how to react to wins, big wins like last night's especially, so they just comically flail at something, hoping that gets the other haters flailing along with them. It gives them a sense of confidence that it is still okay to bash away, no matter the situation.
Like I said in a previous thread today, it is completely expected, like clockwork. Simple and obvious.
When one sees an OP like this, and are not sure what to make of it on a day like this especially? Just check the poster's history quickly and you will likely see what I just saw. Try to find almost any of this poster's posts that are not super negative, super sarcastic--with our team always the target.
I went, and did just that-- yikes....

My take: Fan was an idiot for tapping Jackson's helmet. Jackson was a bigger idiot for responding the way he did. Both were overcome with emotion. Fan should receive a temporary ban. Jackson should be fined. Both should apologize.

To my eyes, he is separating far better than he was last season. And 8/11 for 112 yds, and a TD are legit WR#1 numbers. But it's going to take more than one game to sway the doubters, and several more to sway the haters.

Worthy collides with Kelce, and ragdolls through the air. Kelce barely notices the impact. This is why we should be happy we didn't draft 170lb Worthy. He is not built for the NFL.

For some of this game, I felt like watching the Chargers was like watching the Cowboys last night. You could tell the Cowboys weren't going to close, and that's how I felt about the Chargers coming out of the half. But the Chargers closed. Their defense built momentum throughout the second half, and their offense never lost focus.

Philly's not really known for its manners.

I was struck by how little they showed of Keon Coleman, as like many of us, I was expecting him to be featured, perhaps as much as Dawkins was. But in retrospect, I realize that very few starters, or established core players, were featured at all-- the exceptions being the O-line (minus Spencer Brown), Josh Allen, Ed Oliver, and a couple very brief interviews with Cook, and Benford.
But no Coleman, no Kincaid, or Knox, no Shakir, No Milano, or Bernard, no Taron Johnson, and no Groot, or Epinesa.
Also, no rookies!
The whole series was basically focused on the O-line, and D-line as units (with no focus on the aforementioned), and bubble players who had especially steep paths to make the roster.
Personally, I loved the series. And I'm glad that Beane/McDermott kept their cards so close to the vest.
GO BILLS!

There was one, rather obscured shot of Keon Coleman catching a pass, and then another shot of Coleman asking someone if they were miced up. And I believe that was it for Keon Coleman.

I've found it interesting how well Knox, and Kincaid compliment each other. Knox came into the league as primarily a blocking TE-- he hadn't made a single TD in his entire college career. Kincaid, just the opposite, billed as a receiving TE, with remarkable hands, and a skilled route runner with a natural ability to get open-- but a lousy blocker. Upon arriving in Buffalo, they each set to work improving the opposite side of their game. Knox, especially, worked tirelessly in each offseason improving his receiving skills, including hiring an eye-hand coordination, and vision specialist. His work has clearly paid dividends. While Kincaid is the better, all-around receiver, Knox has made some incredible, clutch receptions. They're a helluva one-two punch at tight end.

We contain Lamar like no other team and it will only be better this year as Bosa and Groot on both ends will be dominant. The interior DL will be tough vs the run as we are much stronger. I expect Oliver, Walker and Phillips to be stought!
Our O is, well, MVP material. I can't wait to see Palmer and Moore dicing it up all over the field and Coleman? Well... Coleman will be amped. I expect a big game.
Bills win by 2 TD's.
I love the enthusiasm! Personally, though, I'm not expecting a whole lot out of Palmer, and even less out of Moore. Not to say they won't be affective, but I suspect there won't be a ton of three WR sets-- lots of 12, and 21 personnel, and Jumbo packages. And I think Keon, and Khalil will be getting the most snaps, assuming Shakir is close to 100%. We'll know better on Wednesday, I assume. I imagine we will be Palmer in three WR formations, and I wonder how many targets he gets in those? His selling point has been "natural separation," but does he get used to draw coverage from Keon? Of course, I am one of the idiots who voted "Superstar" in the Keon Coleman poll, so....
It will be interesting to see who gets some of those plays out of the backfield-- screens, sweeps, etc-- Moore, or Samuel. I would assume that Moore is the much faster player at this point in their careers.

I expect a loss here but I don't think it's terrible. I think the back end is vulnerable but in McD's scheme they're also quite disciplined and are usually good at taking away big plays. It'll be interesting to see if the Ravens try and run Henry down their throats or if they try and exploit the secondary and have Jackson slinging it a lot.
To my eyes, from the extremely limited amount we've seen in the preseason, the Bills front seven has looked really good against the run, and average, at best, at rushing the passer. Obviously, those preseason performances can't be used much as a harbinger of how the Birds @ Bills game is going to go, but I could well imagine Harbough, based on what we know, dialing up a pass-heavy scheme for 9/7.

I voted under. Shakir led the team with 76 receptions in the regular season in '24. He's still on the team, last I looked. Kincaid had 44, and Coleman had 29. Kincaid's numbers will likely go up, if he gets a full season. Coleman's should go up, as well, and I'd be surprised if Shakir ends the season with the most receptions. But between Shakir, Cook, Ty Johnson, and all the others who will get opportunities, and perhaps earn themselves more targets, 120 combined receptions for last season's second, and third receivers seems like a stretch, especially if our offense is as balanced as it was last season, which also seems likely.

I voted "Superstar." I make no apologies for my homerism. Plus, I love to say, "I told you so," but only when it's a positive.

There seems to be an odd conspiracy theory, floating around TBD, that McD/Beane intentionally put a week-one starting cornerback onto the practice squad.

It's a weird one with Keon. I finally watched the latest Hard Knocks and was struck that through 4 episodes we've seen nothing of hi. I really thought he'd be the star of the show. I wonder why he hasn't been featured - is he so much about being all business that he wanted zero distractions?
Also just watched Dawkins' interview on first things first and was shocked by how he talked about Keon. "I've never seen a jump from year 1 to year 2 that I've seen with him", "the rest of the league is going to be shocked".
I watched his off season training video and did get excited about this year, hope he can deliver somewhat on what Dawkins was saying. What he lacks in speed he can make up for in strength with those contested catches, and it'd be great to see him start to be a dominant player that draws attention away fro the rest of the wideouts and allows them to make their own fair share of plays.
As to the question, I don't think superstar but do think we'll be very happy and will see him as well worth his draft position.
I have a slightly unhinged, homeristic theory that McD/Beane won't let HK near him, because they don't want the Ravens to know how good he is.

Are you referring to our first round pick, Max Hairston? If so, damn right we do. He starts as soon as he is healthy. He WAS showing great speed and awreness according to many reports before he got hurt. Only way we don't start him is if Tre White balls out - which I highly doubt happens. Good if he does but let's be real.
Rex Ryan might have done that-- he threw Ron Darby in right away, iirc, and it worked out well. Rex would likely have kept Hairston off IR for that reason. But, I don't believe that's how McD develops CBs, and I would say that Hairston's IR designation makes it very unlikely he sees the field in any meaningful way before week six at the earliest.

For what it's worth, Bills are slightly favored in Vegas, by average -1.5 points. (=doomed)

Bills add DE Andre Jones and CB Jalen Kimber to the practice squad ....... release CB Daequan Hardy.
After spending all last season on the PS, Hardy should have looked much better in the preseason. As it was, he looked utterly lost-- like he had just been introduced to the Bills' defense. Really inexcusable. As athletic as he supposedly is, he's apparently in the wrong sport.

This offseason/preseason seemed pretty thin on fun, dark horse candidates. Or maybe I'm just getting cynical.

He's on the PS. I'm still holding out my dream of him someday playing sixth O-line in a jumbo package, and catching a pass.
So how did Matt Milano do?

I know that Milano, and Bernard graded low for this game. But the duel, threat of Lamar/Henry, the need to keep Lamar contained, and the weakness of our secondary, made this an extremely difficult situation to fully cover their positions. Low grades notwithstanding, I don't think they were the problem with this defense.
