Thank God. Things have been going too well around here lately. We needed someone to give the pitchfork treatment to.

I tend to be a pessimist with Bills' games. But 31 - 21 Bills after a slow start from a circadian/Tre White dip.

This is a well known postulate of the Time Cop Theorem.

I thought DaQuan was our defensive MVP last year.

We're just never going to see Von and Tre on the field together, are we?

I had a bad feeling going into this game. I was completely wrong and couldn't be happier.

This game feels a little like the Bengals playoff game to me. While I think the Bills are the better team, the dolphins offense is just firing on all cylinders right now. Buffalo doesn't seem to have it all together on offense yet. Miami 34 Buffalo 24. I want to be wrong.

Agreed. Dorsey is fine. A competent coordinator; one whom no one will confuse for an innovative OC. But how many innovators are out there? Reid, McDaniel, Shanahan? The last 2 are stacked elite playmakers as chess pieces. Maybe add Siriani to this short list. Point being, which creative offensive mind do we hypothetically turn to with Dorsey gone. Believe me, I'd love one. This isn't a post praising Dorsey.

I'd agree with this. We have a very highly regarded OL coach in Kromer. And Brown has absolutely elite size and athleticism. If his feet are slow, it's likely a mental issue rather than a physical one (thinking instead of playing).

Yet we always heard people saying that Frazier was running the defense that McDermott wanted. It's early in the season, but so far it looks like Frazier and McDermott have different philosophies.

I agree with you. Now I'm not sure if it's Josh, or Dorsey trying to make Gabe a feature guy, but he's not it. They keep trusting him, too often he comes up short.

I was never high on Fields. But the Bears organization did him no favors. They failed him. Completely blew up the roster before last season.

I think Dodson came in for Taron on the Raiders 16 yard WR screen/TD. Some kind of heavy package that we hopefully don't see very often moving forward.

I feel like this is what the Bills signed D. Harris for. Close the game with a power running game.

Damn, I hope not. Whatever, the outcome may be, this is week 1 of a long season. I, for one, will not let the results of this week, change my outlook on the rest of the season. Also, I hope the media keeps the stock low on the Bills, giving the team a bit of a chip on their collective shoulder.

Staley is a bad head coach, and Herbert, for all his arm talent, doesn't have IT.

Offenses looking anemic throughout the NFL. Lots of low scoring games.

I'm old enough to remember the days when TBD hated this guy for his negative Bills comments, and his loyalty to Tom Donahoe. Anyway, I wish him well in his retirement, and I hope he is in good health.

I get it. The AFC is stacked. AFC East is probably the toughest division in the NFL right now. The Bills looked ineffectual in their last appearance. And the masses love hot takes. Just like it was popular for people to pick the Bills as the SuperBowl champs last off-season, it is now en vogue to mark the Bills down as missing the playoffs this year. I won't let this bother me, and I believe the Bills will, again, be in the hunt in January. Based on nothing but my gut, I do have a feeling that the Bills start off this season at more of a jog, then start heating up in November for a great Sprint down the stretch. Go Bills!

Agree. Pre-injury, Tre was probably a top 5 CB in the NFL. Likely the smartest in the league.

Well, they did take Sam Darnold over Josh Allen. The damn Jets caught Beane sleeping on that one.

I have no issues with being critical during the season. But this was a preseason game...with vanilla schemes...no game planning... and starters playing to not get hurt in a meaningless game. I'm not worried right now.

Seems like a good way to test if Josh is understanding the offensive philosophy, playbook, and Dorsey's method to calling plays.

Size and athleticism as well. The guy is an elite physical freak like Spencer Brown.

McDermott must be fired if they lose this game. No excuses.
