...and where has it been said that shutting him down for the regular season would mean that he would be ready to go come playoff time? The TSW doctors are always good for a laugh in every injury thread.

which is why I said.... "...it would be nice if man games lost would be adjusted based on player importance/impact.".

...and that would be?

Anyone know the site(s) that list this info? Also, with all the advanced stats out there, it would be nice if man games lost would be adjusted based on player importance/impact.

Even sadder, come the draft next year(after Edmunds goes to UFA), it will be a tough decision for McD and Beane...DL, LB, CB or S in Round 1(rinse and repeat for remainder of draft). Be prepared for another season of Allen having no time to throw because Beane looks to solve the IOL woes via dumpster diving.

Wasn't there a stat here earlier in the season that Josh has the highest(or one of the highest) percentage of passes tipped? Just surprising for a QB who is 6'5". Wouldn't be as surprising for QB who are on the shorter side.

...and how much of the offense would disappear if it wasn't Allen's heroics when running the ball over the last few weeks? If you go back and read my post, I was speaking of the passing game over the last few weeks.

Anyone notice our great "ST only guys" Neal & Jones both whiff on the punt returner near the end of the 3rd quarter which led to the Lions go ahead TD at the time? Good thing they are both gifted roster spots because of their outstanding abilities on ST.

I think it is a fair critique to say that Allen's play in the last few games has been very up and down. The interceptions, poor RZ play, tipped balls, etc... If it wasn't for Allen's ability to run, his play would be downright awful. Now whether it is his elbow, mental, bad OL play, or poor offense design by Dorsey...who knows?

So it is a case of "the Bills will only lose if they beat themselves", which is repeated often here, and is a ridiculous statement.

...and how is that going to work in the fixed roof stadiums?

Unless it is zone or a broken coverage, how often does a WR get that much separation on any given play? It is the QB's job to fit the ball into tight spaces.

I am interested to see how his involvement goes the rest of this season, and next, but if his lack of targets continues as it has been through 10 games, it is a contract that never should have been offered to him. I've said it multiple times, the GM and coaches need to be on the same page. If the coaches don't want him to be a focal point of the offense, than that message should have been relayed to Beane.

…and what miracle surface would that be?

Unless they move the start of the season into late August, an 18 week season and 2 bye weeks, would push the SB to late February.

Is it an average game because the teams are boring, or is it a boring game because the teams are average? 😂

I could see not playing him the entire game, but they activate him for the game and then he plays a handful of snaps early, and that’s it? Color me confused.

…and before you know it, you are cap strapped with “players that care”.

This! There is no other answer in the 60 year history of the team.

If the only use of Hines is as a PR/KR, and less than 5 plays from scrimmage, it was a dumb move, and another sign that the GM and coaches are not on the same page.

I could see a post like this about the Giants, but the Vikings have enough weapons on offense to go toe to toe with any of their NFC opponents.

We going to have one of these threads weekly?

I don’t know why…tell me?

Am I the only one who doesn’t know who or what is squirrel winters, let alone spend money on a tshirt with his/its name on it? 😂

I am not sure if the owner has any input into schedule preferences(I think they can at least make some requests), but it is idiotic that the Bills play at Miami early, and here in Buffalo late. It should always be Miami here in Sep/Oct, and at Miami in Nov/Dec.
