Logic

It really is. In addition to being an underrated part of the resurgence of our run defense, it will also be critically important to have a quality nickel corner against a team that lines Jerry Jeudy up in the slot and likes to throw deep.

🤣

Awesome article. It seems like Buffalo was the perfect landing spot for Diggs in a many ways. My favorite part of the article was definitely his discussing his excitement about Allen to his brother: "He's real, bro....He's real!"

Schobel, Mario, Meatball, Gilmore are all obvious choices. One that I haven't seen mentioned is Jairus Byrd. In his rookie season, he had NINE interceptions! Putting him at free safety and allowing Hyde to roam as the Buffalo Nickel/Robber would be awesome. Because we're already really good at safety, Byrd's addition wouldn't be as big of an overall upgrade to our defense as someone like Schobel or Gilmore. Still, adding a third playmaking/ball-hawking safety and thus allowing McDermott/Frazier to get creative would be fun to see.

Well I certainly don't love the fact that Tremaine Edmunds was Limited two days in a row.

Agree. They are sharp, and I kind of miss them. They're only allowed to have one throwback set, and they must have decided that they prefer the all-white throwbacks, which I can't argue against. They're beautiful. Would be cool if they alternated every other year, home and away throwback sets. Would give them more jersey selling opportunities, too, which is the ultimate point of all of this for the NFL.

I like every combo we have EXCEPT the color rush jerseys. Rankings that nobody asked for: 1. All-white throwbacks 2. All-white away (preferably with white facemasks) 3. Blue top, white pants 4. All-blues (preferably with white facemasks) 5. White top, blue pants All that's left now is for the NFL to change the rule about throwback helmet colors so that we can pull out the 90s throwbacks twice a year! I prefer our current look, but seeing those 90s jerseys two times a year would be fun nostalgia.

Yes, Drew. You've got the right idea. Definitely, absolutely, without a shadow of a doubt, you should throw at Tre'Davious White.

I'd say Nick Wright's "hate on the Bills" schtick is working to his advantage. Why do I say that? Because I -- and I would be willing to bet lots of other Bills fans -- had never heard of this dude prior to his Bills hot takes. In the line of business he's in, no publicity is bad publicity. One can make a pretty good living being a professional troll and agitator -- look no further than Skip Bayless and Steven A Smith.

I am certain of only one thing: No matter how high Josh Allen is ranked, most Bills fans will still say it's not high enough.

True, but as I said in the post, a lot has changed. Drew Lock is better than Brandon Allen. Their receiving corps improved quite a bit. Both the Bills and Broncos have changed quite a bit on offense and defense since last year.

I wanted to look back at last year's Broncos-Bills game to get a feel for what this Saturday's game might look like. To be honest, though, everything is so different for both teams that it's hard to glean much from it. On the plus side for the Broncos, they have much more offensive firepower this time around, from their receiving corps to their starting quarterback. On the minus side for the Broncos, their secondary is ravaged by injury. Meanwhile, for the Bills: Well...this year's offense is QUITE a bit more productive than last year's offense. It added a true number 1 receiver, for one thing. More importantly, though, 2020 Josh Allen seems to be leaps and bounds better than 2019 Josh Allen. I'm not sure whether to expect an easy, high scoring win or a low scoring, defensive slugfest nail biter. Either way, I can't seem to convince myself that the outcome will be anything other than the Buffalo Bills raising their first AFC East banner in a quarter century.

That "Action" character is just laughably wrong. I thought about registering for that forum to tell him WHY he's wrong, but it didn't seem worth the time or effort. His contention is that the Bills are winning solely because of "great team football" and Allen is nothing more than the product of that. Nevermind the first four weeks of the season -- all wins -- in which Allen was THE reason for team success. Nevermind the fact that we have a middling run game that doesn't scare anyone and an average offensive line. Nevermind the fact that for the first 7ish weeks of the season, our defense was playing below average football.... No no, all our success is due only to "good team football" and Allen is nothing more than a product of that. "Overhyped". 🙄 Their safeties, Simmons and Jackson, are very good. But yeah, the cornerback depth chart is pretty damned ugly.

That game gave me serious "drought era Bills" trauma flashbacks. We have been on the wrong end of those types of games far too many times over the years. I can feel the Browns fans' anguish. That type of loss lingers for days, if not weeks.

I'd trade him for Mahomes and that's it. That's the whole list.

JUST a few half-ass kicks? I stand corrected. Sign him at once!

He recently re-signed an extension with the Browns, and he once punched a lady on camera. So no.

Fair. But at the same time, the Bills were also missing a starting offensive lineman and their WR2. I guess we'll never know how differently things would have gone if the Steelers were healthier. Perhaps we'll get a rematch in the playoffs and things will be different.

Absolutely. Drew Lock, to me, is like rookie-season Josh Allen right now. That is the exact type of quarterback on which the Bills defense usually feasts. I've said it before: bad to middling quarterbacks don't usually beat the McDermott era Bills. They just don't.

Bud Dupree and Devin Bush aren't walking through the door. Would Haden and Spillane and Williams have swung the game to the Steelers? Maybe, but I'm doubtful. Meanwhile, their offense entered the game quite healthy, and the Bills defense shut it down.

I normally like to go to the opposing team's forum after a win and read what the opposition's fans have to say about things. I could only spend about two minutes on the Steelers forums, though. It was just too sad. I have never seen so much pessimism, fatalism, and trash talking about one's own team -- when they are 11-2. ELEVEN AND TWO! They have a better record than the Bills by one game, and yet if you read the two teams' forums, it's night and day. And I don't just buy the "Steelers have a high standard for success" talk. A lot of the comments I saw from Steelers fans were as harsh about their team as the Jets fans are about THEIR team. It's nuts. I had to leave Steelers-land quicker than I thought I would. Too depressing/baffling.

I'm typically very cautious with any Bills-related optimism, HOWEVER... I find it hard to believe that the Bills are going to lose to a Broncos team missing its top four cornerbacks and quarterbacked by the very up-and-down Drew Lock. It's hard to look at the matchups -- Bills defense vs Broncos offense, Bills offense vs Broncos defense, McDermott vs Fangio -- and not think that they all favor Buffalo. I know, I know...any given Sunday. But the Bills players know that a win on Saturday wins them the AFC East, and as such, they are going to be supremely motivated. They don't seem like the type to take any opponent lightly. The Bills are simply a better team than the Broncos in every facet, and I think they win handily.

With AJ Bouye and now Duke Dawson out due to injury, the Broncos are really thin at cornerback. The Bills are beating the Broncos next week, with or without the highly overrated Melvin Gordon.

Same. I truly did not know it was legal to just....TACKLE THE WR AT THE LINE OF SCRIMMAGE! 😯
