He had a knee surgery. I don't expect him back quickly.

Huge blow.

I started the season more confident than I started last season. But now I am back to about where I was in 2024. This is a playoff team, they will win a playoff game or two, but they lack the gamebreakers to make them more than that and they'd need a fair bit of luck to get over the hump.

Same. The Pats might legit be good. The Falcons are inconsistent but talented. The Panthers are a bad team masquerading as average.

I could not understand all the "I wish Bryce Young was playing" stuff earlier in the week. Anyone who watched Dalton when he played some games last year knew he is absolutely washed. Done. Toasted. He wouldn't pose a threat to a mid-ranking college programme. His pocket presence is pathetic.

He isn't faultless and he isn't playing his best ball right now. That's it. Every player has runs like this. Mahomes had had them (and guess what the Chiefs offense looks poorer when he does), Burrow seems to start every year like trash then magically wake up later, it's just really hard to be at the top of your game every single game in the NFL through multiple seasons. I don't think the oline has been as good in pass pro this year as the last two, I think the receiver issues are pretty well understood and Josh isn't as confident in things around him as once he was and it's just affected him a bit. I don't think it is like the end of 2022 and start of 2023 when his previous relationship was exploding and it was pretty clear to anyone who listened to him and watched him that at times Josh's mind was cluttered. This just looks and feels to me like a normal little period of middling form. No panic. At some point we will get the elite version of Josh and he will click into top gear. I have no doubts.

Cook. Hoecht. Shakir. Walker. McGovern.

After a weekend managing a work crisis until the middle of today and then a tense nervy 1-0 Arsenal win I needed a stress free Bills game. Thanks fellas.

How many sacks do we have?

Cos we only have 4 OL on the bench.

Okay this sentence is going to be misconstrued..... I don't think Josh throws that ball Mitch just completed right now. And that is what I am saying. He has to trust his guys. This group is not gonna get wide open for him. He can make that throw in his sleep. He just needs to trust his guys even when they are not wide open.

Mitch you are supposed to look at that clock thingy.

Dalton is hilarious

Josh and Jimbo can have a quarter off. With Ed down is there anyone worth sitting on defense??

When Davis comes in after Cook it looks like someone has turned slow mo on

Do the Panthers have another QB dressed?

Yea I 100% agree with that.

"The Panthers were right in this game." When? Kick off?

Not by me you didn't. I knew Dalton sucked. But the Bills D has played well. I am not trying to criticise them. But Dalton sucks at this point.

He may well be. I hope he is. I'm just saying I don't think the shots we have seen are definitive.

Okay you can sit Jimbo now.

Bryce Young looks like he is enjoying this.

Meh. Even that I think is still a bit of an assumption. He might be. But he might just be listening to what Babich is calling and having input.

He often holds the call sheet. Doesn't necessarily mean he is calling plays. But I wouldn't be at all shocked if he is playing more of a role than he was.

Andy. Dalton.
