Not accurate Ethan, and wasn’t directed to you at all. He was either interchangeable, to expendable, to not worth it, or avg. at best. Read the history, and no I won’t reply as you have you’re opinion. I respect, but respectfully disagree. Spotrac state he has a $13 mil./yr. value and if we extended him now would include this years cheap 5th round draft pick value bringing him down to $10.7 mil./yr. which is what people did on the math with Dawkins. They made the argument his $15 mil./yr. was only 12.6 mil. Given the cheap year this year. We are now seeing what it’s like without him and he was a lot more valuable than was expounded upon for the last 8 months. Believe what you want my fellow Bills friend, but these guys, meaning Star and him are more valuable than people have stated in the past. Agree to disagree I guess. Go Bills tonight!

Don, didn’t you hear, Milano sucks too, oh wait, people not knowing a damn thing about football. Still thinking you need a LB like R. Lewis who is 255 lbs., vs. the 2020 Wil. LB who is 235 lbs., athletic, plays sideline to sideline, and can cover TE’s, you know like Kelce tonight. I’m kidding, but never banged on Star as he was a space eating 1 technique DT, who wasn’t meant to get a ton of sacks as we had J. Phillips for that, but to be our big old Teddy W. He was fine. Bottom line is these coaches will need to coach what they have and see what is the best combination. There is no magic bullet off this team. The only one I’d want who knows our defense and team back and forward in Lorax. Get it over with and get him back. Even if he plays 40% of defensive snaps it’s far worth it, oh and he’s relatively cheap.

Hap, exactly. When I used to coach football, it was simple, they play deep zone, you throw underneath, they move up, you throw deep. Not rocket science. They can’t cover everything short and deep, and even coaching QB’s at a young age, you make sure they give up tendencies, and just take what is open. It’s why we lost the Giants SB. Marv and Kelly were so heck bent on the k gun, they didn’t recognize, or ignored due to hubris they were only rushing 3, so the Thurmonator was running all over them. They could have kept doing that and forced BB to move more up which would have opened up the passing game. It was a horrible decision. As much as I love Coach Marv, I hope McD and Daboll learn from their mistake last week and just hit the weakest spot and put coach them. That will be hard with Reid, but I believe in these guys.

Bill, my friend, I agree this obviouS tanking just stinks for the league and that team. You had mentioned another team, and the only example I can think of which is nowhere close to this debacle is my other team, 2nd of course to the Bills, is the Bucs, when they threw the last half of the last game to get the #1 spot for Winston over Marriotta that year. It was obvious was pulling everyone in the second half of that last game for Winston. Look how good that worked out for Tampa and TN. Tanking cheapens the team so wasn’t arguing there at all. I just have buddies who are Jets fans, transplants from NY/NJ as they are the NJ Jets as well as the NJ Giants, and I just can’t bust their chops. They are good guys, my Giants friends too, and at least the Giants are trying to win. I would be beside myself if I had a team that sucked since 1969. Maybe a reprieve when Parcells was briefly there at the Jets. All I can say is say a prayer for our beloved Bills today, and could be a fun two weeks with the Jets, and Pats, and can’t believe ESPN’s mock projection of the Bills at 7-1 at the half mark would be amazing. I’m not assuming after the Chiefs if we win, will definitely beat the Pats, but it’s looking better. We have some tough games after the Chiefs and Pats, like the Hawks.

I don’t get wrapped around the axle over these questions (not directed at you Hap), just blow it off. Could she have been a little more tactful, yes, but she knows asking in this manner gets her a little more publicity or clicks. Generally, I’ve thought she does a decent job on NFLN, and probably was looking for a sound bite. Those that said, show it on the field today are right. Let the team’s actions do all the talking. This morning, people are giving a lot of love to the Bucs, Steelers, and Titans. The Bills win convincingly today, and they will be the highlight tomorrow. 🤞

War, that’s the logical choice for me. If Darnold was behind Brady, Or Big Ben, he would sit for at least a year, but he has a chance behind Brees, or Rivers next year. I can see both retiring after this year.

Bill, what do you want from the Jests? Seriously, I almost feel bad for the classy Jets fans, not the trolls. I have some friends originally from NY and I don’t even have the heart to kid even a little as they are so dejected now. As far as Darnold, I can see a team giving a second or maybe a third for him. No one is giving up a 1st. He just needs to get the heck out of there. There will be some coach who thinks they can rehabilitate him. I still contend one of the teams with an aging QB would consider him. Reich is now a HC, but was a great QB coach a few years ago.

This is what I can see as a solution for this year. Lorax would be a great defensive leader, and can mentor Edmunds on the field, he’s still it looks to be in great shape, said he could be open to the idea. I know originally it was if We were in playoff contention which at 4-1 is something around an 87% chance of making the playoffs, and I’m sure he wouldn’t mind another payday. To me Lorax looked just as good last year as he did two years earlier. He can be on a pitch count, etc. There really isn’t anyone better on the street unless you want to resurrect Clay Matthews, but he didn’t look the same towards the end.

Just looking for good games. The Bears/Panthers they moved to now, so kind of fun. I root for the Browns only because they’ve had as much misery as us over the decades, not that I dislike the Steelers. Well, I live in Tampa, so you know. I know it’s personal for you guys with Brady. I just feel for all of my friends down here who have suffered too. At the end of the day, of the Bills win, I honestly don’t care about anything else. I want the Bucs to win, and those skill players are fun, but it’s hard to root against our Icebowl buddy who is a friend on this board.

Points well taken Hapless. If McD believes in him, I can try just getting a little frustrated and seeing some of these other rookie TE’s, doesnt help.

Down here we are getting the Steelers at 1pm, and Tampa of course at 4 pm. Should both be good games, but yesterday, the MTC guys were stating the game of the week is, you guessed it, the Bills/Chiefs.

Agreed. He was a nice kid, and yes they rushed him back, but he was given so many chances, and couldn’t even hold onto a backup job. I lost track of him after the Raiders cut him. I wish him well whatever he is doing now.

I listened to Sal Friday morning on the Lorax dialogue he had with him on Edmunds. Sal said we are built more for a 4-3 given our players, but hypothetically Sal thought Edmunds is best suited for a MLB in the traditional 3-4. The 3-4 doesn’t fit into what McDermott likes to do in his scheme. I’m sure he can do it if he wanted to do so. We would definitely need Star for that to happen, and McD learned under Jimmy Johnson In Philly who loved the 3-4. I think people are piling a little on Edmunds. He’s made some mistakes, but he also is trying to play hurt.

If Milano, White, Brown, and Edmunds Play, then Bills 34-31. If the key players don’t play, Chiefs 42–28.

This is like, “Would you like this rotten tomato, or this brown disgusting apple core.” They both suck. You have to hope the rookie will be ok, or I don’t know if Davis Webb is worth it. Barkley had one good game against the Jests, but then again it was the Jests.

Gugs, agreed. I had high hopes for him as well, but if you’re always more concerned with the homerun that you look up field too fast and drop the ball, you’re no good for the team. Kroft May have not little world on fire, but he catches most so far, and then worries about what he’ll do after he secures the ball. After watching th eMiami rookie TE, and some other rookies, I just don’t know if Knox will progress. I was fine with being patient with him last year, but he’s making the same mistakes as last year.

The Wilson example are spot on, and it was noted later Carroll liked his hands were almost 10 inches so grip wouldn’t be a big deal. He is one of my favorite QB’s as he gives the illusion of running, but ends up throwing accurately at the last moment.

Not a big fan. I don’t if you guys noticed, the Titans punter was pinning it so close to the end zone, directional, etc.

Thanks Thurmon.

Thanks Rock. Look forward to those Shaw reviews each week. You said it well. Leave it at that. Onto the Chiefs.

In the immortal words of BB, “We’re onto Kansas City (Cincinatti)”.

SSSF: Im with you and sticking to my guns. 11-5. God athletes are used to a bad loss and then turn it around. We had wounded warriors. Some have agendas on this board trying to pile on. How about we act like ex athletes, and move on, play next week, and not think the sky is falling just like we are not god before last night. Seattle looks great on offense, but horrible on defense. I can keep going on other top teams that have flaws, but this is freaking out mode. Many are not in that mindset, and there are s9me who are encouraging it, on purpose or they have never played sports at a high level so they don’t know. We had a bad game. The sky is not falling.

😘. Thought you needed it Virg. Well written as always. It was a tough day, and for the first time this year, I didn’t understand a lot of the offensive play calling. I know not having Brown was tough as he is such a nice deep threat, it would have helped, amd people are underestimating the loss of Milano and Tre. Tre and Milano would have covered up at least a 1/3 of the conversions they made, and Norman is not meant to be the #1 CB. If he was opposite Tre, he probably would have covered his zone much better. If a full compliment, I think they would have converted over more to just power running with Henry. It was nit a fun loss as we just weren’t really in the game, but as Annie loves to sing, “The Sun will come out tomorrow (well in this case today)”. For me it was like when I was playing football, and had an old fashioned coach always used to use the old man phrase, “throw some dirt on it ....., and get back out there”. I can’t get too high, nor too low after games. Stew on it for a few, then move on. We could come out and have a solid game against the Chiefs.

Yes! No Brown, Milano, and Tre, and so many people are acting like 5e sky is falling. I’m just glad non of these guys weren’t on my sports team when I was playing. It’s only an 11 pt. Deficit from an undefeated team, and yes Augie, the team that beat the Pats and the Ravens in the playoffs last year. Its why I predicted before I knew for sure Tre was out as my hopes were still high we would win 28-24. We just stopped them in the 3rd and we are moving the chains. Take a breath guys.

What? I guess you didn’t know we are the #1 comeback team in the NFL in the last two years. Game over? Really?
