To this day, I still can’t believe Moulds developed. One thing I’m always Negative Nancy about is Bills draft picks that don’t develop. Moulds broke the mold. Potential to absolute greatness, within a mediocre organization. Shame he didn’t get to spent ten plus years with an equally great QB/Team.

Tre Edmunds. He’s got to swallow up his area.. screens, slants, blitzes, conceal his coverage, and by God — pick something and force a recoverable fumble FOR ONCE. I hate all this because I wish he was a guy who flew through the LoS and made tackles for losses, but he’s not, so do what you do best, 4-9. The only thing that beats the Bills today is 31 points by the Bengals. Tre has to be $$$$

I’m worried. Worried the offense will be flat and won’t execute. Worried the Bengals defense will gain and gain confidence with every batted down ball and Josh Allen miss—like the Bengals know the Bills plays. I’m worried the Bengals defensive will somehow appear to, indefensibly, play like the 2001 Ravens. I’m sick of the Bills offense looking like everything comes so damn hard.

I want Allen running Philly’s offense. They make it easy. Allen is a better thrower and runner that Hurts. Knox is Goedert. Diggs is better than either Brown or Smith. Davis is worse than Brown and Smith, but big game Gabe is always lurking, so that’s a wash. Buffalo’s RBs can do what the Eagles RBs do. But on to this Bengals game. Can’t let Bengals run the ball. Need to gang tackle Mixon, Perine on screens, then no YAC to Chase, then knock it downs against Higgins. Stuff Boyd at the LOS. Coverage should be very tight. Over the top help on Higgins and Chase. Collapse the pocket… don’t give Burrow lanes to run for easy pop out 3&7 first downs. Contain and collapse. Burrow eats sacks on those. Go BILLLS!!!

I saw Kelly in Favre. I saw Favre blow too many big games too. Because he was reckless. I don’t want a reckless QB in today’s NFL. It’s unnecessary. The efficiency at the position over the past 1.5 decades is off the charts (Nick Foles 27-2 TD-INT ratio..). Today, a quarterback doesn’t have to fight the defensive (any defensive player on field) like they did in the 80s/90s. If the DLine didn’t break your back, a OLB would Mack truck you a yard out of bounds, all while your WRs would duck and cover after being held and hogtied right before their heads would pop right off their necks from a decapitating hit by a safety. A 2020s Favre will be a loser. And a liability. And JA needs to get back to the smart football he played in 2020.

Any idea how many five stars fail in college. All I said was he wasn’t a five star, at a school loaded with five stars, and he earned it. He didn’t come from the Trinity League either, or Corona Centennial HS. Speaking of Bennett (for some reason), I think he’s going to make an impact in the NFL. I like him a lot as a pro. A late draft pick, and to the right team, he could be a real NFL comer. It’s fun watching him spot some of these throws, if we’re allowed to enjoy these here

We don’t use the talented TE we have now. Gesicki is a poor man’s Zach Ertz. He’s a good size big WR. I don’t see enough creativity in this current offense for him to even warrant a roster spot, let alone being of any use.

Just thought it was kind of a well known, well deserved notorious anomaly how little the Bills have punted since last season. Who are these folks that think we punt too much?

Good teams don’t punt as much. Check. But we drafted a punter.. hmmm

Cincinnati is now down three starting O linemen. This has to be exploited!

Right around the time Burrow was doing his thing at LSU and Mahomes was doing his thing in year 2, I watched Stroud run a track meet offensive against a top notch opponent on a cold night CIF playoff game. It reminded me of what was happening in college and the NFL. He throws such a catchable ball. He’s talent just popped. Then he was wasn’t a five star, went to a loaded O St team, and earned it. I like that. Young has been mature beyond his years since middle school, and you’re getting a bonafide franchise face, with impeccable character. Sincere. He creates when there’s something of nothing, and runs QB like a point guard. His size is the only concern there, as I fear he’ll be tossed around like a rag doll. Tua. Russell Wilson is a tank. Young is not. These are the two guys. And we know who needs QB, so this conversation is now. It is interesting though that Detroit and Seattle accidentally have viable starters now, so I think those are perfect bridges for both rookies.

Just for fun

Having seen both play pre college, and even pre high school, this is personally a fun topic for me. Where do you think this two land? What you you think are the best teams they realistically go to? Who do you have as a better pro, as we know things today? It’s tough for a team to move up considerably to a top five pick, so maybe we’re looking at teams drafting only in top 2-12ish being able to move up to get one or both. Will Levis might be a Josh Allen gift to a team after these two blue chippers are off the board — what team for Lewis. If Detroit could pull it off, I think that’d be great for Young or Stroud. And Seattle, that’s be cool. I think Houston hurts either one of them.

It’s the most frustrating thing, so we notice it every time. 2020, I liked the third down defense. The last time I really felt GREAT about the third down defense was the Schwartz defense. I was so confident in how that defense played — complete bullies. Wish that’d come back.

Collinsworth is a pioneer. Us older guys will remember his successful jump grok the field into a true co-host role on the best post weekend NFL show on TV — Inside the NFL. He’s never looked back. He’s pro Cincinnati (understandably), but anti-Buffalo (never knew why). He should be better next to Tirico, who’s better than nine toes out the door Al.

You know all it takes is one sideline guy to scream it, and then every DB screams to each other. Wonder what happened?? Crickets, like the non-squib kick last January at Arrowhead..?

Blitz. You have to bring a guy off that corner. DB, and interchange Edmunds and Milano at times for a different look, so you can run Edmunds off that edge as well. With pressure from that side, forcing QB towards gigantically long Rousseau is a good situation. But will they do that — No. Least creative pre-snap defense around.

Lewis should have been swinging an invisible axe from his right to left as the ball was getting to Jefferson’s finger tips. It’s completely unforgettable.

Absolutely the reason to NOT relax. One thing I do like this season is winning the gutty close games. I took them in the regular season because those games can go either way and the NFL season is an absolute grind. But at home against that ^^^^ I hate it, in the almighty playoffs…. Not relaxed one bit.

Why I’m I counting 8 losses in the last 30 games played?

Because Lewis didn’t knock the ball down and out of bounds on 4th & 18? That one. The one that contributed to cost the Bills the 1 seed? The poorly played, and most likely poorly coached jump ball. But hey, if he intercepted it, the Bills would have lost field position. Wait, that’s bad too.

Wow, must have improved her serve tremendously!

Arm was moving up, not at the torque point like during the Jets game.

@rochesterfan Explain, Coach. This defensive is built for a dominant middle linebacker, like McDermott had at Carolina. Well, Edmunds isn’t that,, so what are we talking about here..

love it. But I do not
