At this point, realizing there probably aren’t any stud receivers available through trade or off the street, the best scenario may be to have good blocking receivers who can help spring Cook. Gabe can block. The Bills future for this season is in the run game.

Yeah sure - because it only took like 5 weeks to get back on the field after somebody stepped on his foot and his little piggy went wee wee wee all the way home. Due to age and attrition the Bills appear to be fielding one of their weaker defensive rosters in the past few years, and now we'll be missing one of the anchors of the D line. Can't catch a break.

I have no idea Brady is to blame, but it’s apparent that the Bills don’t have wideouts that can separate. Watching today, there was an endzone shot on a play that Josh was running for his life. I had two thoughts watching it: the receivers were completely covered. But, the other side to that coin is that the plays are taking wayyy too long to develop. That may fall on Brady. Maybe he has to stop calling plays that don’t work for these receivers. A quick rhythmic 3-step drop with precise dink and dunk timing might work better with this group. Similar to what was so effective with Tom Brady. The great irony is that we have a QB with a rocket arm that can launch the ball 70 yards, but don’t have receivers who can go that far and shed defenders. Joe Brady needs to work with the players he has and find mismatches. 13 personnel is a good start.

If it wasn't already mentioned...get healthier, stay healthy.

What about this outdated rule...no running with scissors. Sometimes you're in a hurry to cut something and it's in another room.

If anyone thinks this team is going to turn it around in the same manner they have in the past, I believe this year it's not as likely. We have a bunch of old retreads on defense trying to hold the secondary together with duct tape. A defensive line that can't pressure QBs, but especially mobile ones. LBs who are undersized and injured. That's just defense. On offense their receiving threats are limited to Shakir and Kincaid (who's frequently injured). Anticipating a 3-headed rushing attack at the start of the season, Davis has fallen off a cliff and Johnson has not shown anything to write home about. Add to that, it looks like the coaching staff is trying to keep Josh under wraps. There have been opportunities for him to take off running when it looks like he hesitates - hearing a little voice in his head from coaches telling him be cautious. Even in the wins against mediocre teams, the Bills have struggled. I hope the Bills prove me wrong, but I think this is going to be an off year and won't be surprised if they're listed as 'in the hunt' for the playoffs in the final weeks, rather than clinching an early division title.

My preseason prediction was 10-7 with possibility of 9-8. The Bills have Josh Allen. A star. On course to be a HOF’er. The rest of the roster is comprised of 3 or 4 pretty good players. After that, just mediocrity. Players who are frequently injured, defenders who can’t tackle, and receivers who can’t separate.

What I said was # 3 AT BEST. #5 is a good bet. I'd put Gabe ahead of him at this point.

As much as the team and some fans have tried to pump up Coleman, characterizing him as a WR who could be a difference-maker, I haven't seen it from day one. Still don't. He's a #3 at best in my view. For me, he's this version of the Bills Tremaine Edmunds - the guy they desperately want to believe is more than he really is. I'm not buying the 'Everyone Eats' mantra. Josh is an elite QB. PLEASE, find a way to get him big boy weapons, if not this year, next year.

It's entirely possible. Hopefully, the Bills are motivated after the Sunday night Cold Front debacle and pull out a win. After what looked like a runaway division title for the Bills after 4 games, it's not beyond the realm of possibilities that the Pats (with a win over the Saints) could be on top of the division after 6 weeks. 😗

I have a feeling only a handful of users here will get the reference. "In the garden, growth has it seasons. First comes spring and summer, but then we have fall and winter. And then we get spring and summer again". Hailed as genius by the political class 🤔

I like to watch

Seeing that reminded me that there were 2 separate of fumbles the Bills lost but could've recovered if they'd practiced the fundamentals they're taught - diving on the ball rather than trying to be the hero and snagging the ball off of the ground.

Here we go 🙄

Home delivery has got to be logistically impossible, especially in the cup-de-sac filled suburbs of Atlanta. There are no ‘paper-boys’ to deliver to the 5 houses in my 625-house subdivision who might subscribe. It’s not possible for a delivery guy driving a van to make any money with such little demand. Nobody cuts coupons out of the Sunday paper. I do miss the days of grabbing the AJC Sunday edition on Saturday evening and having it there to relax with by the fire on Sunday mornings. It was great reading a piece from beginning to end without being interrupted 20 times with pop-ups.

I just remember that he was huge and had off the chart measurable for quicknessand athleticism. It’s hard for somebody like me whose never played at that level to understand how somebody with those traits couldn’t make it in the NFL. I thought he would turn out to be something special, but he never even made the final 53.

His play doesn’t warrant any thing close to pro bowl consideration . That’s exactly my point. As the 54th overall pick in his draft class the hope was that he’d be more of a force on the edge - a defender that opposing offenses would need to account for. But he’s not that guy. He’s serviceable. Adequate. Not a liability. Makes some plays. Hooray!

Yes. A.J.Epenesa. #57. The guy whose playing time has been replaced by Bosa. I do like Epenesa. He’s made some good plays. But nobody’s going to putting his name on the Pro Bowl ballot. .

And adding salt to the wound is that veteran players like Rousseau and Epinesa (that ARE healthy) aren’t playing at a level that’s expected from those at their draft positions and game experience. Not awful, but somewhat unremarkable. The top dog on defense is a 1-year FA that would surprise most if he remained healthy and active all season.

Great. Sounds like the Bills are fielding their pre-season rosters on defense. is it just my imagination or not that over the past 3 or so years, the Bills seem to have an inordinate amount of non-season-ending injuries that take out starters and often same position #2’s for multiple weeks? is there something about their technique, conditioning, or are the Bills just overly cautious about activating hurt players? It’s mostly on defense, but even the punters and kicker are among the walking wounded this year.

Great cover shot. i’ll be buying a couple of copies; one for me and one as gift.

Hoping that Walker, with all that size and athleticism, will develop into something resembling big Ted. Does he shoot pool? Yeah, that's pretty stiff. The lame script wasn't really helping much. It comes off like a SNL parody.

Brilliant. Bring out their inner-Bruce Smiths, Reggie Whites, TJ Watts, Kyle Williams, Ted Washingtons. We can dream I suppose.

She probably gives him pointers, but it's not exactly Shakespeare he's performing. Even without any tutorials, I have a feeling his natural self is a fine asset in front of the camera. He's got natural charisma and likeability that is innate.
