LEBills

Good point, there were several holds by Miami that were more egregious than the one called on Benford.

I agree, the NFL has had players die of heat related complications in training camp relatively recently (Korey Stringer in 2001). And no matter how badly you want a roster spot, playing in a game is more physically demanding than practice. The heat was literally making players sick, I wasn’t able to find anything where a freezing cold game did anything similar. We lost based on the rule of the land, but in my 30 years of watching football I can never remember a game like that where players were dropping out with heat. If the temperature is going to be that high, postpone the game to later in the day or another date like you would with a lightning delay.

We lost the game more than Dolphins won it. Shades of the Pats hurricane game. It has been a rough week for the Bills leading up to the game and the conditions knocked us for a loop. The real football in November/December won’t be 100 degrees, rest up and move on.

I had the same issue, eventually downloaded the CBS app and logged in with my parents Cable account and got the game going that way. Not sure what’s wrong

Colts, Bears, 49ers def Would like to see the Raiders put meathead at 0-3 too

This reminds me of all the years we said “Yay! So and so good player for the Pats*** are going to miss our game!”….it never mattered We are that way with the phins now, and JJ and Hamlin will play well tomorrow.

I hope Leslie gets another chance but his age and being a defensive minded guy may hold him back from ever getting another opportunity On the flip side, we are likely going to get a little preview of how our defense could look in a few years with JJ and Hamlin in the Safety spots. Its not ideal to be down so many starters but I think we saw in the preseason that our young players can step in and perform really well. And of course our front 7 is still supercharged even without Oliver and Phillips. Could see a lot of Groot and Basham at 3 tech this week which won’t be good for a Miami team that isn’t running very well.

His delivery is a bit dry, but nice context into how our start compares to the history of the NFL

He does. Josh says he and Mahomes have a good relationship but Mahomes hates Josh taking the headlines.

The Super Bowl he won was not at Arrowhead, but your point that he has never won a true away game stands. But it is such a funny argument…most QBs don’t win playoff games in the road! Usually the better team is at home in the playoffs!

Josh needs to run sometimes, it is what makes the team basically unguardable. Though their were some turnovers involved, the Rams kept it close in the first half. Then In the second half Josh started running much more and it pulverized their defense and we scored 21 straight. I knew as soon as Josh ragdolled the safety with that massive stif arm that the Bills were going to win. It energized Josh and the rest of the Bills and really strikes fear in the defense. But you are so right that they need reduce hits he is taking. That has to be a combo of Josh sliding or getting out of bounds instead of going for the extra 2-3 yards. It also means when the game is for all intents and purposes over, that anyone but a Josh runs the ball. And in honesty if he ran 5 times rather than the 10 or so he wound up with, it would have affected the defense just the same. The threat of it is the key, they don’t have to always act on it. I hope they shelve the running for the most part until the Chiefs game and then again until the playoffs. We are good enough to get the 1 seed with Josh reducing his running to just about 0 until the games really matter. But in the meantime, I am in awe of Josh and everything he can do.

This sounds like they already know that it is going to be a minimal suspension (if any) if they are calling on the NFL not to appeal it…

yea same, 5/21. Got an email on 6/1 that said due to overwhelming demand may take more than 2 weeks to ship and would get an email when it does…haven’t gotten anything since

Not so much that he can’t but it’s less likely because he isn’t built like what the prototype outside receiver is due to his lack of length. Scouting is basically just probability. The chance of him winning outside when probably every cornerback he will face is longer than him is less likely. It’s not a 0% chance but if you are looking for an outside WR do you want to take those odds early in the draft? And again, I am pumped about the pick

For Shakir, I think it came down to two things: One, his short arms (29 inches). I think that made a lot of teams feel that he would be slot only for fear he wouldn’t be able to get off press on the outside. And two, with such a deep WR class someone was bound to fall. And I think it is probably true that slot is his best spot so he can get that free release and let him make full use of his initial quickness. However, The fifth round was way too late for him, especially when someone like Jahan Dotson went 132 picks earlier and he had struggles getting off the line vs press too and is smaller than Khalil. Tho it would be great if he turned into Deebo or Diggs, Imo his best pro comp is Robert Woods as he has that same smooth, hunched over running style and can be used in slot, backfield, end around, etc… Which would be great!

Really nice that he starts the video off by providing info to help our community after last week The video itself is well though out and reasoned as all Brett’s videos are. Fun watch as we wait for football to get back

So that means our schedule has the most rest built into it in the AFC?

I mean it’s special for sure, but just wondering if it qualifies as primetime. Or if we could wind up with 6 night games plus the thanksgiving game? Not sure how the NFL classifies some of these specialty games

Yea does playing on Thanksgiving at 1 pm count towards the max of 6 primetime games that can be scheduled?

A lot will be made of how the Rams are 5-0 in season openers since McVay got there, if we get that opening night game. Of those 5 opponents none of them finished the year with more than 6 wins…I will like our chances

Basham is a funny player because he is pretty athletic (9.38 RAS) despite definitely carrying a little extra weight. He is also much stubbier 6’3’’, sub 33 inch arms than the outside pass rushers we normally prefer like AJE and Groot. He is definitely an effort and diagnosis player, he isn’t great at winning initially off the edge but is pretty good at diagnosing the play after structure starts to break and going to where the play is going to be. Last year when they drafted him they mentioned him playing a little on the inside as well. If he can convert some of his body fat to muscle and keep his weight he may be able to handle it inside in pass rushing scenarios. Im actually pretty hopeful for him this year, though I agree with others who have said they see him as potentially good but likely not great pass rusher.

Do the schedule makers want to give the Bills the season opening game two years in a row? 2022…and 2023 😄

If Bradbury wants to play on a one year deal so he can cash in next year when Free Agency opens, signing with Buffalo would be a great opportunity. Gets a chance at a SB, gets to just be one piece in an excellent defense where he won’t have to be the guy in the secondary, and it was McDermotts defense that he started off in Carolina that led to his first big contract. I still think he goes elsewhere for more money, even just on a one year deal. But he could do a lot worse than signing with us this late in the offseason.

Cowboys always have the inside track though they were the opener last year so maybe we will get a break If I had to guess it would be the Broncos, NFL likes the star QB in new situation storyline and Russ is formerly of the NFC West The Bills are probably second most likely after the Broncos imo

We are going to beat the **** out of the Titans
