I don't have much of an issue on the block to Taron. I've seen Dawkins and other lineman pancake a guy and then throw themselves on top of em. Luckily they've never hurt anyone, I think it was just an unfortunate injury. The guy rolling on Josh? That was dirty AF. You can see him pause and then thrown himself at his knee. Super, super dirty.

Last week Cook almost caused an INT because he didn't find the throwing lane for Allen. This week he found the passing lanes and did a very good job of catching the check downs and moving the ball. I like how they used Hines to stress the LB's horizontally and that helped free up creases for Cook. Last night was a nice step for Cook and the run game. The offense looks much, much better when they're in 2nd and 5's instead of 2nd and 9's all game.

I was at a bar with a huge Packers fan, she was PIIIIIIIIIIIIIISSED. Same when I went to the Bills at Falcons a number of years back, the Tre scoop and score game. A lot of, how the puck did we lose to the BILLS?!?!? It's nice now expecting wins and not hoping for some crazy stuff and eking out a win.

I enjoyed last night, but not nearly as much as I enjoyed the Monday night game. Seeing the pats and that shithole fanbase eat ***** is much more enjoyable than just brady, but it is quite delicious to see that ####### make terrible throws and have no one to yell at. All I want to see is him yelling at a lineman and someone shoving that old B word to the ground. The question is, does he make it to the end of the year? If they suck enough, does he fake an injury and quit? I can't imagine he plays another year, but I would love if this went on for another year or two and another desperate team picks him up. Colts anybody?

I understand the reasoning but for me, keeping the wind down to avoid negatively impacting the offense is more important. What they need are some huge doors, like 100' by 30' at one end that they can open in a 2 minute span that would allow the wind to come in. Oh the chiefs have the ball with a minute to go and they need a FG to tie the game? Open the doors!

Would you really want them to maximize wind swirl and turn every game into a mess where no one can pass the ball? I know Allen has a canon but he can't throw through everything. I'm pretty sure they designed the stadium to minimize the wind, which is the way to go. Maximizing crowd noise should definitely be a priority.

Hurdles one guy and before hitting the ground trucks another dude, simply amazing.

McKenzie is a seven year pro who's missed similar plays in the past. He's not a bad or dumb player, I just don't see that high level IQ in the heat of the moment I see from Shakir or plenty of other of players. It's like watching Allen in the pocket after years of Losman, Edwards, or Manual sitting in a pocket for 3 seconds only to get sacked because they're oblivious to what's going on around them. Allen has IT, they didn't. Shakir has had drop issues in the past as well, that's a valid concern. It was something pointed out in the draft process, he'll make spectacular catches but miss some easy ones.

I love Shakir's awareness on the field. He goes up for balls and simultaneously contorts his body to protect himself and secure the catch. You saw McKenzie catch a 2nd down pass near the 1st down and didn't pick it up because tried to make more happen as opposed to just getting the first. I think that's a play you'd see Shakir make.

I knew their D wasn't good, but I didn't realize it was quite that bad. I'd feel a lot better if Poyer or Hyde could go, so at least they'd have a vet in the backend to keep guys lined up properly and make sure they're all on the same page. Having Edmunds, Milano, and Taron playing is big though, they should at least make the intermediate throws in the middle of the field tough and help slow down the run game. Hamlin and Johnson have been in the system for a while, so they should be good, and the young CB's have good heads on their shoulders. I have no doubt they're preaching 1/11th all week. Don't get caught cheating and let Hill run passed you. Who cares if you give up an easy 12 yard dig here and there, the offense will keep the pressure on their offense and the D-line will get home eventually. Should be a fun game to watch.

Watching some of the highlights and breakdowns of the fins/ravens game and it looks like Tua had more solid throws and plays than most are giving him credit for. Some of the big plays came on busted coverages, but he was moving in the pocket and hitting intermediate targets in stride with anticipation. Now these are highlights, so I'm not sure what other throws he missed, but he looked solid. This is a very good test for the secondary, especially if they're out Hyde, Poyer, and Dane. They can't let Hill break short passes for huge gains and the front 4 has to get to him. It's a good thing Johnson and Hamlin have been in the system and should know it well, they'll need to play very well. Considering their D is banged up too, I still see the Bills putting up more points and taking the win, but it might be quite the barn burner. I'm looking forward to how they respond.

My wife is going out of town Friday night until Sunday noonish. Handing off the hellions the second she walks in the door and plopping my ass on the couch. Damn it's awesome having football back.

Never read anything into the PFF scores. I'm not saying Dawkins should have gotten a perfect 100, I get they're basically doing Olympic scoring where tiny mistakes ding the score. But zero pressures and you don't even him an 80? Idk, doesn't add up.

Lost in the, "Now Poyer/Edmunds/Oliver" can't sign talk is how much cap space Beane can clear by restructuring contracts. It's one of the things he does really well and so far hasn't had to do a lot of. It sounds like a lot of money for Knox but he's in his prime and still has room to grow.

Most disappointed that Kingsley Jonathan was picked up. He flashed some good looking moves.

Between Settle being banged up and knowing they kept 5 DT's on the 53 last year, I thought sure they'd keep a 5th DT. I know Rousseau and Basham to an extent can come inside at times, but they feel slim at the position now. I assume they'll try and bring a guy or two back to the PS, but it seems a hair risky with Settle not practicing much. If he was missing games, but still participating in team work, it would be one thing, but I don't think he's practiced since the first pre-season game.

They've had Morse, Bates, Muscle Hamster, and Shaq on before (probably others too). They've broken down all sorts of film and their responsibilities. If the coaches had issues with it, there's no way they'd still be going on. I'm sure other coaches can watch film and come to basically the same conclusion.

Hopefully he's what I had hoped Quinton Jefferson was going to be. So far so good.

You can just argue that it's good the QB is questioning the HC so that they can work together and create the best product, but I don't think that's what's happening here. Kyler is taking vet rest days? Okay...

How could they not include the video of Josh giving him a hug at the Sabres game? Come on.

No doubt in my mind he is re-signed and stays here a long time. It'll be one of those deals that looks like we paid a ton, maybe even top 5 for TE's when he signs. In actuality, it's a fair deal for both sides that gets Knox paid well and still gives the team flexibility down the road. He's going to get better and better, fits in perfectly with the team/community, plays a key position, and appears to be very close with Allen. He's not going anywhere.

Knox and Allen seem to be pretty close. Whenever you see Allen at a Sabres game or something, seems like Knox is always there. I think he gets paid here with a solid, team friendly'ish deal.

Oh man, what a game to go to for your first time. The atmosphere is going to be insane. I find the wings at Jimmy's in VA to be amazing when they're on point. Although one time they weren't amazing it was 2am and the other time my friend asked for his to be extra crispy and I'm pretty sure they did everyone's that way because they were kinda dry. He's ruined my wings a number of times asking for extra crispy, drives me crazy. I can only imagine what Bar Bill wings are like. Great, now I'm starving.

Levi talking about the Kelce play. "Usually he's (Poyer) near me... He was that far back, If I would have just looked back, I would have scooted him or I would have pressed." "In four years we never took communication for granted and in the 13 seconds we let ourselves down." Yes, I'm still pissed about that play. How the F do you just relax on that play? Right after Hill gashed you for 20 yards to get into much better position. How the F^(# are you relaxing at this time and not going over every detail??? Is it a coincidence he wasn't re-signed?

Ah right, Crowder. That's actually perfect, give him a year to adjust and take over next year.
