Jaquan didn't play well on Sunday. But wasn't his first career start. He started v Houston last year.
Thank you. He had a pick and looked good that game. Was a step back this game but considering the context I’ll give him a pass.

Given the Bills' pass rush win rate and the fact that Tua's strength is in the short-intermediate pass game, I am expecting the Dolphins' game plan to be quick passes (screens, slants, soft-zone passes to Gesicki, etc.). They will want to rely on the run game and get the ball out of Tua's hand ASAP to negate the pass rush and hope their speedy WRs can get plenty of YAC. Need a big game from Edmunds/Milano/Johnson. Also, the secondary MUST punish Hill/Waddle on those short routes and make solid tackles to minimize YAC. The DL must also be disciplined and not bite on Play Action
Oddly though it’s the vertical passing game that was so good for them this past week. I think they may still try to push the ball down field. Winning our pass rush is critical if they do attempt to push the ball.

Appreciate Hyde coming in there and saying something

He isn't doing more with less this year. Give me the Bills offensive personnel over KC's.
yeah thats fair but we also dont have enough data to know how well they are performing yet this year. So the "more with less" (thats probably imprecise on my part even) is in regards to past years and why Josh doesnt have the same accolades.

Yup that’s fair. But it’s hard to say Allen is better until he wins a MVP and Sb, which he has a good shot at both this year.
that Allen is even in this debate is absolutely amazing. In my wildest dreams, I could never imagine Allen being this good.
Fair, and it may have you been up thread that said Mahomes is ahead because of MVP and Sb. I respect that. I think Allen does more with less, but agree that its a conversation is amazing.

You’re doing could have been ints? That’s insane. Allen has thrown his share of ints that defenders dropped. Living in hypotheticals is a bad way to live. Like I could have married Margot Robbie if we met and it makes me sad.
if Allen wants the top spot, he needs to beat Mahomes. No if ands or buts.
You mean the bills need to beat the Chiefs. Allen did pretty great in the playoffs and regular season last year. I'm not putting 13s on Josh. IMO two years ago they were clearly better, last year that gap was gone. From that trend I think were gonna be better. Our ability to get pressure from the edge will be the difference (previously relied on pressure up the middle which is a strength of Chiefs now).

Allen screaming in Ramsey’s face is incredible, he picked on the games best CB and then made sure to let him know about it.
that’s my QB
The CBs that Diggs and Allen are putting on the wall are pretty impressive. Ramsey, JC Jackson, Lattimore, Howard (to a degree he got a pick last year) have all been got. Thats the top 4 form this CBS list. wish we had better weather in the Atl game cause i think terrel might have been put up on the wall too. Humphrey, Ward, and Alexander will be great matchups to watch.

Emili would need to be elevated and the Bills don’t have an available roster spot, correct? It may be longer-term insurance if another DT injury occurs. The Bills are deep at WR and may wish to have more DL insurance as you say. However, I doubt it is a TN game specific move.
Can be elevated just for the game and then go back to PS without clearing waivers. Same as past two years. Though I think they do this with bryant first.
"Two players can be elevated from the practice squad each week to be eligible to play, as was the case the last two seasons. A player could be elevated to the active roster twice to the active roster under a standard elevation twice and revert immediately back to the practice squad without having to clear waivers."

They should change the rules on that imo. If the "pass" happens behind the line of scrimmage then it should be classified as a forward lateral, should not count in passing stats
While we’re asking for rule changes can we petition to have Josh’s first int go down as a fumble for McKenzie. Seems like that would accurately reflect what happened

I feel fantastic about the O because the Rams defense is still elite. Maybe not as good without Miller but it added a HOF MLB and if not for self inflicted mistakes we score 40.
Our Defense looks nasty - but that Rams oline could be one of the worst in the league. I'm Thrilled don't get me wrong and not downplaying what we did at all. And I love that we looked physically dominant on both sides.
I'll just feel better after watching it wreck another team with a good oline/QB combo - especially while Tre is out.
Or - not let Henry go off and make Tanny look like Mahomes.
Re: Our Defense. The Fins and Pats showed weakness along OL this weekend so that makes me feel good in division.

Both their lines is what caught my attention. Always good to scout divisional opponents who maybe on the come up. However I think both their O lines look worse than the rams. They do have good interior players but I feel better about our ability to deal with that after Donald. Overall besides weather (heat week 3 though LA was hot Thursday too) we should be in good shape.

The Bills can get $2 million in additional cap space according to Spotrac but I’ve read elsewhere that he has to meet certain incentives. Would apply to cap next season
Yeah def not this years cap. But every bit every year helps going forward. I think the incentive is play the whole season on a roster.
-
I think there is some cap relief from cutting Howard IF he stays on a team all season. I’ll try to find a link. If true this game is great for us.

I'm surprised no one mentioned it, but I believe the heat had something to do with the low snap count also. The TV announcers mentioned the heat and the way the bills were rotating players.
Their performance in the heat was a great indicator for week 3. I was worried about the heat for that game but looks like they will be fully prepared.
I’ll go say 4 hail seans 3 our beanes to make up for doubting they would be ready for the heat in week 3.

Seeing babies associated with Bills games doesn't surprise me.
I imagine there will be a whole slew of Bills fan babies born about 9 months from last night.9 months from now: Tonight we lead the news with a trend of babies named Josh or Allen in Western NY

That's how long it took to groom Knox, one of the least polished and raw TE prospects in recent memory. A more polished TE like Notre Dame's Michael Mayer (this is just an example) may be ready in a year or less to do what Knox did last year. We could debate the pro-readiness of every eligible TE and maybe its safer to say replace in year or two by grooming an early round draft pick and sign a solid FA signing in the meantime, but my point still stands.
You’re right we don’t have to go over every eligible TE cause rookie TEs don’t produce. 4 this century with better production than Dawson last year. 2 of them drafted in the top half The first round (so not available). You say he hasn’t proven he elite. You can’t replace his production with any early draft choice as you say

Don’t count on his targets going up significantly. Diggs and Davis will be open a lot and Allen will find them. A lot. McKenzie too.
With Beasley and Sanders leaving there are a lot of targets available. I dont expect diggs to get too many (suspect hes on a count again this year). Davis will def get more but if he doubles his amount theres still plenty for Knox. I think he would be a priority to target over McKenzie honestly. Bills have one of the lowest share of targets to TE in the league. I think Knox will see at least 30 more targets this year.

Gessicki, Schultz, Hockenden, and Fant MAY get a jump, IF they produce this year. It's a fair consideration though I will give you that. I would have liked to take the same risk with Knox. Think we could have signed him cheaper at year end, hope he blows up and I'm wrong, but just saying. I don't think any team goes into playing Buffalo saying "we gotta stop Dawson Knox". His production could be replaced by an early round draft pick. I just can't get on board with paying a guy top 5 money at a premium inflated market position for that.
Lol what early round draft pick could replace his production? From this list of top rookie TE production there are 4 this century with more production and they all had more targets. so it is laughable to suggest an early round draft pick could replace him. Also would note that the Pitts and Shockey's of the world go in the top half of the first round (not where were picking). also were you the one saying kelce is a better blocker? quickly losing credibility.

Oh you got me good man 😂. If you looked, at the time I was typing that post, literally every single comment before was glowingly positive of the extension. I was obviously referring to the board at that time, not the general population.
Knox is not, by any standard, a top 5 TE. That is a delusional take colored by red and blue lens. Don't get me wrong, we all wear em, but take them off for second. He is due for a touchdown regression and by any other measure (especially when you account for blocking) he is not an elite player. Hope he takes some big steps forward and becomes an elite all around TE, but that's a reach to say currently.
hes super low in targets. If those go up he would be top 5 (20th in target number). Also did you say Kelce is a better blocker up thread? If thats your thoughts then I dont think you have credibility.

Said it in another thread but I think Diggs is the best outside WR in the league. He gets more production than anyone on the outside than anyone. Wonder if that will continue with Dorsey, but if he got free releases from the slot he could continue to be deadly (e.g. him shaking Jamal Adams out of his jock in 2020)

Saying that he “struggles with pre-snap” is a critique that he probably could make in 2020 and into the first half of last season. But I think Josh really got better at reading defenses toward the end of the season and eventually audibled or figured out where to go with the ball when facing two high safeties.
The rest of his write up makes sense. Josh is not technically perfect but his athletic ability allows him to get away with it.
I think he had it down at the start of 2020. Not sure if you were watching Cover 1 videos but they identified the "Gold" audible against cover 0 early on. To the point that when I could hear it on the broadcast later in the season I would get up expecting a big play. Would also point to his ability to pump fake peeps in 2020 as a way he understood coverage to get people out of position.
Agree with your other posts about YAC and his responsibility.

Last I checked Josh had like a 90% win rate in 300 passing yard games. He's not putting up garbage time stats.
Feel like the other 10% has to be games that slipped away. Tampa bay last year and the titans slip are the only two losses I see and both probably should’ve been wins.

I’m wondering if Doyle is making it on the 53.
He is a “giving it his all” kind of guy. It will be fun seeing what the depth looks like this weekend.
I think Doyle is almost a lock. Marino has it (and I agree) as 5 starters + 1 (Brown/Quessenberry) as locks then Mancz and Doyle as almost locks with the last spot up for grabs. I think that seems pretty reasonable.

From 2 days ago
Are you saying Kumerow is the backup outside WR though? I dont think this chart is saying that. If anything I think it says Hodgins is the back up outside WR which aligns with who I would expect to be on the field if Diggs goes down. (note this was not my position before TC but feel ok with it now).

2rb sets with Singletary and Cook are gonna be lethal. Can’t stack the box or Cook gets the edge and takes off. Spread the front 7 and force them to defend the edge and Singletary slashes up the middle for 5-10yrds. Play action off that and it’s easy first downs all day long.I think moss and cook is also a great combo for similar reasons and then some. Moss has been used as a FB by the bills before. That and moss is the best pass blocker of the RBs with some upside sliding out into a route (obviously nothing like cook).

When would we hear if Tre is coming off IR?
in The Stadium Wall

Since Hyde went down I have thought they would bring him back before the bye. I think he gets sprinkled in this week to get him up to speed. I was onboard for waiting till after the bye but that was before our DBs got ravaged.
