Have fun guys as I’m not running through this again after 34 years, the six days before I moved her to tampa for that SB, and suffered through that loss across the street at the Tampa Mall with a movie screen and radio station vans. There were by game time 11-14,000 fans across from the Sombrero. Enjoy the debate. If you feel we should at time be a cover defense, not attacking, no argument, including tomorrow. We should win.

Sven (or should I call you Walking Tall- i think that was show where Bo Swenson was the walking tall dude- I was a little kid so I think that was right), I agree with you're take. I would add a couple points. 1. Cooks needs to get more into the game plan as a deep outside threat as he’s done it for years and a pro on route running. Davis also needs to be thrown intermediate and one or two deep threats. Shakir is going to be Shakir, and I can see Hawes being a good 7 yard dump off as no one wants to make that business decision. Knox even can be targeted in over the middle routes. 2. The running back dump off option will help as both Cook and Ty have proven they are difficult to tackle in open space. For god’s sake cut out the behind the LOS scrimmage throws. 3. We already expect Cook to get a heavy run dose and on those plays we should play 12 personnel. Their D Line and O line suck and they are the 31st against the run, and 32nd against the pass. 4. It’s true on defense, our best pass rushers are out, so we might as well drop 7-8 and blanket them. It somewhat makes sense to activate Lawson, and push Sanders to the outside as they set the edge well as Rousseau so they are completely one dimensional. They shouldn’t be able to run at will. They just aren’t like the better rushing offenses we've faced. 5. Thompson has remain in the middle as if nothing else Bernard is banged up and it’s hurting us. I know he’s out this week anyway, but as long as Thompson is in the middle we have a better rushing defense. One of the analysts on WGR, I think Joe Marino juxtaposed between Bernard and Thompson and it was striking. I know a number of you aren’t crazy about Jeremy or Joe, but most in this board like Marino and his podcasts. 6. I certainly hope Hairston and Hancock continue to see their reps increase by the week, as White has been better when Hairston’s is sharing the duty as well as Hancock to Poyer. 7. So in the end, these are just a couple of additions to Sven’s excellent post. Most importantly, GO BILLS!

the last remark was funny.

Hey Donuts, GET OFF MY LAWN! Good to hear from you bud. Go Bills!

There’s no point in debating whether all of the loopholes like international stadiums count. Why? It’s not changing anything. I certainly hope we have the most safe stadiums especially after all the soft tissue injuries this year. That’s somewhat new. Everyone always thinks their team has it worst, but look at the Lions for the last two years. The 49ers, and so on. No one cares.

As often is the case, I agree with you. I’m not intimidated by the Eagles especially as bad as their offense has played this year, and yes, I can see us resting the banged up players for the Jet’s. It’s funny as always they are so much of a dumpster fire, we still might beat them up with backups, and the usual Allen playing a series to keep his streak going strong. Don’t forget it’s not their fault, but the Pats schedule was weak, and their best game was against us. The Bucs almost beat them. Cincy makes me nervous as yes, their defense is atrocious, but when Burrow, Chase, and Higgins are all on the field, they are dangerous. No one wants to hear this, but we will probably play a ball control game and ram it down their throat. Their run defense is 31st in the league, and pass defense is even worse at 32 out of 32. I say we go left, then right, then left again with Cook, and when they start loading the box we toss it to Cook and Ty all day long. They play that up, and Davis or Palmer or Cooks if healthy goes 30 yards down the field for a TD. Get up 2-3 scores and then back to running it down their throat. The best defense for their passing game is TOP at 38 minutes.

Not that I agree with almost anything related to Ben, he has a point, Tomlin could probably do well to coach in college. I don’t know how he would handle the NIL influence these days. That’s why Saban retired.

29, 29, 29, do I hear 30, 30, 30, do I hear 35. Sold to the men in purple.

Interesting, but can be misleading as how shallow these passes are from Allen.

Well, i guess he’s now taking a few days to think about whether to continue.

I agree with you. The Jet’s and Vikings are good as choices for a trade. The Steelers are getting old. Metcalf although admittedly I wanted that trade before the year, but he’s fallen off a cliff, and Watt is too expensive and has lost a step. Hayward’s probably won’t last much longer.

Noggin, first I always enjoy your posts. With that said, the Bucs (my second home, but Buffalo is always in my heart) are 7-5. They face the Saints, Falcons and Panthers (twice), and the Dolphins. Which of these three teams, which two do you think are goi g to beat the Bucs. They are going for their 6th NFCS division winner. They just had Irving and Godwin returned for the Crds game. That will make them appreciably better. You have them at 10-7, and I’m stating they probably go 11-6 to 12-5. Your other standings for each team seem reasonable. I see the Bills at 11-6 if they have nothing to play for in the last game. The Pats may beat us, but I believe we beat the Eagles, Jet’s, and Browns. Looks like you had fun with it so good for you.

So I think I haven’t posted this yet, but if so my apologies. Heres a relatively simple breakdown. OFFENSE Yards - #2 Passing - #10th Rushing- #1 Points- #5th DEFENSE Yards- #8th Passing- #1 Rushing- #30th Points- #13th So interpret how you want, as it’s not a secret. We suck against the run, the pass defense is good, but partially because everyone runs on us. We run the ball well on offense, and maybe Kinkaid, and Cooks can make a difference in the passing game. I welcome any input as I like many of your opinions.

Sean Payton. Yeah they’ll use him effectively.

Agreed. Keep running a play u til they stop it. When i coached i had a series of plays and a sequence until they stopped it. As soon as they did which surprisingly was not often, i then would move to another sequence of plays and that would completely surprise them. So my point is its not one play, but a sequence of plays and as soon as opposing coaches figure it out, you then go to something else. Im certainly not the sharpest tool in the shed, but when things work, keep doing it.
