He doesn’t have receivers to throw to. And it may be a tough day for passing with the winds. And he has struggled. If it were Belichick coaching for us, he’d take away the thing the Pats do well -running- and force Newton to prove he can beat you with his arm. I expect McD and Frazier to do the same.

We are going to see a resurgence of our run game this week. The Pats run D is weak especially on the edges. we get Feliciano back to help. I expect to see Motor and Moss off tackle a lot, and I expect a lot of read-option with Josh.

The Pats are also susceptible to the run, especially on the edges. I expect to see Josh on some keepers this week.

Fill the box and make Newton try and beat you with his arm. He has no WRs or TEs.

It was weird.

Looks like you picked a bad week to start drinking.

Congratulations! To answer your questions, yes you can drink and eat sushi, although you probably would be advised to not drink much in front of your wife, not because of health issues but she could get ticked that you can and she can't. Your life is about to be transformed in a way you never thought possible. As much as I and other dads can tell you about what's coming in advance, it won't prepare you for the emotions you'll have when you see your child for the first time. You will be overcome with emotions, ranging from the delight of seeing the child to the worries about how you'll pay for college and such. All at once. Some practical advice. Take over things like housework, laundry and such if you don't already; assuming your wife breast feeds she will be exhausted much of the time. Listen respectfully to your relatives about things, then you and your wife make your decisions about how you want to deal with a new born.

whatever. Win on Sunday and we are much closer to winning the division.

Not a bad idea. I need to look into it. I am not trained in mental health counseling so I’d have to see where I can help.

Don’t read them. From what I gather the guys they hire have no more experience grading players than I do.

It’s about entertainment and not victories with this guy. If he were a Chiefs fan he’d have complained about the game a couple weeks ago because they ran the ball to do so. He specifically stated last year he’d rather see the Bills lose as long as they had 300 yards passing. Just really sad.

He has advocated for the Bills to lose. That’s all you need to know.

Just line up and kick their butt.

Not a head coach, but arguably one of the best coaches the Bills have ever had was Joe Collier, the architect of the AFL championship defenses. A defensive genius; wound up being a terrible HC but a defensive genius.

Maybe they did. I am all for more mental health counseling and more professionals and earlier intervention. as I said above if I'm the policeman and a guy is running at me with a knife I don't have much choice. Tasers? Shoot lower ? I would like to hear from professional law officers as to how that might occur. As for it affecting the election, dream on. There aren't many minds that aren't made up and Trump is losing. Every night he goes on TV dismissing his own health officials advice on Covid and putting people in harm's way reminds voters just how terrible a job he's done. He's going down, and nothing is going to change that now.

If I was a mental health professional living in Philly I would volunteer.

Who the hell are you, and why are you on a Bills site since you clearly hate the team?

We once again missed the chance to have a real debate this election about the real question that is ignored time and time again: what is the role of the federal government? What we have in this country is the paradox of people wanting more goods and services (social programs for the left, big military spending for the right), and low taxes. That math simply does not work. Wanting more things at your home without the money to pay for it does not work at your kitchen table, unless you are stupid enough to put yourself into debt you cannot handle (which admittedly happens way too often). Why do people expect the government to be different? We as a citizenry have acted like spoiled children for far too long. we have let politicians act like spoiled children as well and not held them, and ourselves, to account. If, as a society, we feel that governmental programs are necessary, then we need to pony up the taxes to pay for them. Instead, we have politicians handing out pork with no concern other that their electoral future, and paying for it by going into what is now 23 trillion dollars debt. If as a society we feel that we shouldn't have such a vast array of federal programs, then get rid of them, and you still would have to pay higher taxes for a while to bring this absurd debt down to some manageable level. I think the federal government should be doing what it is mandated to do under the Constitution. We have far too many federal government departments and programs. Get rid of them, rely on benevolent organizations, churches etc. to help with social needs for the poor and such, and institute a flat tax where billionaires pay a ton more than their administrative assistants, and a reasonable corporate rate. We have to return to some sense of fiscal sanity.

The bad guy as you put it was a black man with a known history of bipolar disorder. The family apparently was telling the police that. Now if I'm the policeman and a guy is charging right at me with a knife I amy have no other choice. But why can't steps be taken beforehand to de-escalate things?

The Pats are having trouble stopping runs outside the tackles. I expect more yards from Motor and Moss and some designed Josh runs. We drafted Josh knowing we needed a strong armed guy when the weather gets bad. So I expect us to be OK on that side of the ball. The defense needs to continue what it did second half of last week. Play with energy and purpose. I don’t know what McD said/screamed at them at half time but sure as hell worked. Jam the box and make Newton and his weak receiving corps try to beat you on a lousy weather day.

Yes. They have to play better. They gave up 4 yards in the second half so maybe that’s a start.

He’s having a tough year. But you cannot deny his athleticism. It just seems to me he is still thinking too much vs. reacting, still learning the position. I have not been a proponent of moving him outside but that may wind up being the answer.

Because he does

I would not be surprised to see us trade for Dunlap or Atkins from the Bengals.

I would love to hear what McD said at halftime to the defense
