We learned at draft time how this dude was the best blocking TE on the board and how he would fit in as a sixth OL for the offense. At that time tho, there were a handful of prospect analysts making a point to mention that while you didn't see it a lot, he had some skill and value as a receiver. Then during camp we heard time and again how, "This Hawes kid is more than just a blocker!" And how it seemed like as camp went on there seemed to be some new plays and wrinkles in the offense that were designed to get Hawes more involved. Seems like the team and coaches/FO really like the guy and wanna develop him. Hawes also appears to have the right makeup to really succeed and turn into a solid player.

Stiff arm?! More like whiff arm! Josh wanted to drive that dude into the dirt so bad but fella was already well on his way to turf town when Josh swung for the fences.

Pipe down, man. It's week three.

Well, I dunno about youse guys but I, for one, am glad they signed Bosa. Dude looks like he's playing fast and loose out there. Most importantly it really looks like he's having fun. I said before this could be a situation that rejuvenates a player. You've already heard him talk about how he really hasn't been part of a team like the Bills. He's bought in and it looks like the team already loves him. Now just don't break anything! I mean, in yourself, Joe. Please continue to break the hopes and dreams of opposing quarterbacks.

Mang, it's game time. Ain't nobody got time to be reading this right meow! But since I commented, I'll stay on topic. I'd imagine Babich has a pretty long leash for now as McDermott loves the guy and has brought him up from like assistant position coach up to coordinator so he's invested time and work in the guy. I think it'd have to be pretty catastrophic for him to get the boot during this season. Edit: *a few hours later* I'd say Bob's seat is pretty chilly after today's game. They looked like they were on a mission to make a statement that last week's performance isn't what we should expect as the norm. Even with Taron and Ed out today they were terminators out there. Joey Bosa and Matt Milano were lights out this afternoon. Obviously it's only week two but my thoughts after the Ravens game were kinda like, meh, the Ravens do tend to do that to the Bills. Ravens just one of those teams that have their number sometimes. Also, they're the only team with Lamar Jackson and Derrick Henry, who kinda sorta do that to almost everyone they play.

Please no. The whole Toronto series was hella boring. All I remember is poor Ryan Fitzpatrick getting his ribs obliterated and thus sparking the inevitable crap-show that became the 2011 season.

*Wide receiver gets destroyed on a crossing route, helmet flies off, he may have lost a shoe, he does not know his name or where he is, it is the hardest hit he's ever received in his life, in fact, the defender probably gave himself a concussion* Emotionless Stadium Announcer: "Henderson number 81 the pass catcher tackled by Davis number 46. Gain of five. Second down."

Maybe they play both guys with Tre getting some limited snaps? But I'm not sure if they'd make Strong inactive if Tre can go. I don't think so, Strong is a special teams guy isn't he? Bummer man, I am not up to date on mah Bills secondary.

Sonsabishes....I mean that's not very kind, it's just what I say when Derrick Henry tramples poor, defenseless little kids like Cole Bishop.

Sanders caught my eye a couple times. He won a few reps and was able to get thru the line but the play was on the opposite side. I keep reminding myself that they aren't exactly working with the DL they envisioned and are probably gonna mix and match some lineups until they get Larry and Mike back. I'd look up their last names but I'm choosing apathy right now. Also both of them got easy to misspell surnames.

Yeah, as they were heading in for halftime I was thinking that was pretty big for them to get that there. Kept them in the game and they were able to go into halftime on a bit of a higher note. On another note, I thought it was over after the missed two point try (the one where Keon got mugged) and I thought, how poetic, the scriptwriters got into their bag for this one, the Ravens will win their revenge game the same way they lost the divisional game, a dropped two point try. But it was not to be. Old Man Prater to the rescue. Genuinely one of the greatest regular season games I've ever had the privilege of watching.

Great googily moogily. Bah gawd he's killed 'im! With God as mah witness he is broken in half!!

I like how he played. He seems to be a pretty stoic/reserved kinda guy based on how he comes off in the media. I wanna say he looked rejuvenated. Yeah he got beat on the edge by Lamar but that'll happen, it's Lamar. I love how jazzed up he was after the game, jumping around with his new teammates, good stuff. I know Henry ran all over them but there were plenty of solid reps and I think they'll be alright.

I mean, I understand Harbughm has a reputation of going for it on fourth down but I get why he punted. If they don't get it, the Bills would have taken over almost in field goal range. I know a lot of people (i.e. Ravens fans) disagree with the call but I think it was the right one.

What's up with Hairston? I gave up on the Twitters long ago.

Hey so, um, you guys 'member when the Bills were down by fifteen at two different times but still came back to win the game? That was awesome.

Obviously Lamar has to try and keep his composure there but nobody gonna blame him for shoving that turd. Behave yourself, it's not that difficult. There was someone else who threw a water bottle at Henry after he scored. Don't be weenies and give all of Bills Mafia a bad name...cause if you do, you'll be shot thru the heart cause you're to blame, Broccoli Head you give fans a bad name.

Seemed like he did pretty well. A good first game. Wouldn't that be something if he hits and takes the CB2 job? Then both starting corners would be sixth round picks while the three first round CBs are injured, injured, and one plays for Dallas. Obviously they want Hairston to be the guy for that jorb but it Strong can hold it down until Max or Tre get back then that's nice...and I like things that are nice.

Oh...so this is what it feels like to be on the other side of one of these miraculous victories....neato! I'm on a gravy train with biscuit wheels and I don't care who knows it. I woke up the wife to tell her they won. Do you have any idea the danger there?! I poked the bear and lived to tell it. Thanks Josh Allen!

I dunno. I get that he's seen as a true leader and all that but without Detroit putting up 30 or 40 in every game last year they probably don't even make the playoffs and then does he even get considered for a HC job? They might go as Fields goes and he's had some moments but overall he's inconsistent. I also have it on good authority that all Jets players and coaches are just straight up doodie heads.

I'd like offer a very heartfelt "Daaahahahahaha" to the Miami Dolphins, New York Jets, and New England Patriots. Hah! What's the consensus as to which week McDaniel is getting the boot? Four or five? And to the Browns I'd like to say, "You're a buncha bums." I'm not sure why but I've developed quite the disdain for the Bungles. It might be Burrow and his insanely punchable face. Top five all time in punchable faces, right up there with that human fart Logan Paul. My buddy is a Giants fan so I stay tuned into them and sheesh, more of the same over there. Daboll is probably already wanting to start his special boy Jaxon Dork.

I've actually met Tyler, he's a good dude. His stuff seems pretty well vetted. I think at this point many of us are just flat out sick of the constant shows, articles, podcasts, and opinions. He's a level up from most of the talking heads that never shut up. I don't watch much of any pregame stuff, watch the games on mute. I'll watch some post game stuff to catch highlights from other games and most news I read online. It just seems to be the nature of fans (of anything) to shout "this sucks and so do you" any time they read or see something with which they disagree.

Yeesh. I regret checking in on this thread lol.

Yeah, I agree with this. I think the idea of the RB position being easily interchangeable is starting to fade a bit. Seems like more teams wanna have a guy that really fits their system and culture. Which, of course you wanna have that across the board but it's not always possible at all positions given the cap.
