Williams steps up

I find no fault with the overall offensive schemes. Anyone can pick apart a call here and there, but under Brady the offense has found great balance, Josh is being given more freedom to check out of plays, and we are able to attack defenses in a variety of ways. And guys like Palmer and Coleman are showing great value. Keep up the good work!

My younger daughter had to work yesterday, and when she got home we debriefed on the game. I told her it actually was kind of boring to watch. And it was, but in a great way. It was really just domination up front on both sides of the ball. As I say all the time, when you get right down to it, football always has been and always will be a physical game, a game decided on whether one team can impose their will physically on the other. And our boys did so decisively yesterday.
Glad you and your daughter had such a great time. We are coming up to WNY for the Tampa Bay game; my younger daughter and my older daughter’s husband are big fans but have never seen at game at the Rich, and I told them they had to see one there in the last season. Praying for a little snow to have the complete experience although my wife is quite the opposite!
Go Bills!!!

Dolphins will be toast
Josh and the boys will kick butt
McDaniel bye-bye

A quick gasp of breath, followed by knowing it was just a shot to the face. I thought he either had bloody nose or had some teeth knocked out

How does a veteran QB like Wilson make such an awful decision?

It's not ignorant. It's OK today because we have a big lead. But our MVP QB should not have so many Tyrod Taylor stat games. Last year he threw for lower than 150 yards about 4 or 5 times. Eventually Brady's fascination with the run game is gonna kill us. Look at last week, he didn't open it up until we were down by 15 with 7 minutes left
Just stop. We ran the ball by all day because they couldn’t stop it. Does it make any sense to go away from something working?

Bills 24-23. Jets always give us a tough time when in New Jersey.

Let me correct you again. Simmons played in and started 16 games for Atlanta last year (at least according to Wikipedia and I believe them over what appears to be your random guesses of what happened).
This angle you seem to keep pursuing - that Simmons has been out of the game, is rusty or hurt, is wrong. The odds on reason for him not being with a team is price.
Beane should be keeping an eye on players, it's his job! And right now the discussion is on how much of his job should be focused on finding better talent on the back end of this defense. Much like last year when the board had a lot of discussion on what to do about WRs - and a lot of people were "oh, it's fine". And then, surprise, a WR.
You are right about Simmons and I thank you for correcting me on that. And if Beane and his staff and the coaches thought Simmons was the answer he’d be here.

Why do you keep saying Simmons hasn't played in over a year, when he played last year for Atlanta? Just because you keep repeating it, doesn't make it true.
According to Wikipedia he played Dec 16, 2024 and two pass deflections and an interception. He has a fully guaranteed $7.5M contract.
Simmons didn't do well in PFF grading. But Spotrac lists him at a market value of $5M.
I would like to think our FO is looking and he is one of the candidates. But the FO might (rightfully) think they can hold off a bit and get a better deal than that with a trade candidate to be named later (which I am also hoping they are scouting).
I stand corrected in Simmons playing one game last year. I think Beane has shown he keeps an eye on what is going on around the league, and that he and the coaching staff, together with his pro scouts, discuss guys constantly.

I respect your first sentence. I don't respect your second, which puts you squarely in the ever-charming "If someone disagrees with me, I must insult them" camp.
Don't bother to reply. I prefer substance to malice.
Call ‘em as I see ‘em. Other than Oliver and Bosa in the second half no one on the defense played well last night. I give credit to their offense for playing great. Others pick a player for criticism.

It's like the Ravens vets say about Josh. Sometimes you tip your cap to the other guy. Bosa and Co. knows what Lamar is likely going to do, and still can't contain him on several occasions. He's just a special QB.
Agreed.

Much better in the second half. I was shocked how a vet like him gave up the edge in the first half.

Your list suggests the tradition had (and has) good cause. The film on how Bishop missed that tackle should be a "What not to do" teaching tool. I'm sure Bishop would agree.
Running at a freight train from the side and expecting to stop it doesn’t have great odds. You have picked out the guy you want to rag on all year. Enjoy.
1 minute ago, Einstein's Dog said:What if the reason Simmons hasn't played is money? Maybe the Bills should think about paying him appropriately.
And, yes, it's easy to say for Beane to trade for a stud safety. It's kind of Beane's job. To imply that there are none available seems to me the more clueless stance.
So a guy that hasn’t played in over a year is your definition of a stud? Ok.

Our front 7 in general had a lot of problems the first 45 minutes. Give credit to their O line.

If Strong locks down CB2.....could we consider Tre White playing centerfield?
People are concerned about his tackling ability

We're not talking next year. Coleman looked good yesterday but wasn't ready last year and they went and got a WR and let the young guy develop.
I don't know the trade candidates yet but would bet just like WRs last year, they will be out there.
As for Free Agents I see Justin Simmons, and Jabrill Peppers was rumored earlier.
There’s a reason Simmons hasn’t played in over a year, and why Peppers got cut by Vrabel. And it’s easy to just say we can trade for a stud safety without any clue whether anyone is available.

If I was going to make any change right now I’d consider Lewis for Rapp

Other than some nice plays from Oliver that D was a disaster. And I dont want to hear the "what can you do" thing. These were not unique plays, but literally Henry running straight through the gap and our guys getting beat and the second level taking bad angles or unable to make tackles. It looked like Pee Wee football at times when you have the one kid that just runs straight down the field. Should not happen that many times in an NFL games. On passing plays how many times did we see blown coverage or Flowers running wide open? Wont even mention the Bishop blitz from 20 yards deep. I can be ok with Lamar doing his crazy stuff or even guys making contested catches. But we saw more Henry run straight and Flowers running wide open than the spectacular.
On offense its hard to complain when you put up over 40 and comeback to win the game. The only issue which is something we saw a lot last year is when Brady seems to get in an ultra conservative mode with the WR screens and dump offs. He has to do a better job mixing that stuff up. And some of the play calling was suspect on the 2 point conversations and other short yardage plays. But we did what was needed to score enough to win.
Their O line dominated the first 3 quarters.

And how did Coleman look yesterday? Sometimes young players need time.
Who is the stud you refer to?
