I don't remember the first, as I watched a lot of movies even as a kid, but Beverly Hills Cop, True Lies and Friday the 13th (whichever one) were all early watches.

I'm very bearish on our season at this point, but I think this is a get right game for the Bills. New England is basically the same team we played last week, except their offense is even worse. I expect us to run up the score pretty severely on NE, and I'd be shocked if they score more than 10 points due to their ineptitude under center.

I think his lack of usage came down to how excellent Murray has been this year. I definitely didn't expect to see Murray to be this big of a factor for us when they brought him in.

If a Super Bowl comes we will need a drastically better team and/or coach OR Allen will have to be playing like the best player in the league for an entire playoff run. The problem with evaluating him is that he's only capable of doing it one game at a time where a guy like Mahomes and even Burrow can put together multi-game stretches. In the case of Mahomes, he's on more than he's off and when he's playing like the best, it's effortless. For Allen, we've only seen him be the best when he's in Hollywood mode, and to no surprise, that's also when he's at his worst. The version of Allen we've seen this year is championship caliber, but not with this roster. He's playing the overall best football of his career, and if they find themselves with the best record in the conference, he just might have an outside shot at MVP if he plays more games like he did against Vegas, Miami and Washington than he did against NYJ, Jax, and NYG. He doesn't have the stacked team that Philly or San Francisco does, he doesn't have one of the best coaches in the league like KC or SF, and he isn't Mahomes where it just comes easy. Allen can be anywhere from #1- #20 on any given day, but on average I put him at #3. When he's in Hollywood mode, he's more likely to be at the extremes which gives him a higher ceiling but a far lower floor. if they figure out the balance of Game manager Allen vs Hollywood Allen, or just call better plays, he could cement in at #2.

He should be, but they won't and he won't. I figure he'll be here another 5-10 years.

Allen is having th best season of his career while being "neutered". Hollywood Allen was killing us, and this is the only way he has a chance to win a thing. As I mentioned elsewhere, they've swung too far the other way, but if they eventually get the balance right, that's josh's best hope for an MVP or SB win.

Mack never lived up to the hype, imo. The dude turned into a ghost as soon as he got his check. He hasn't had a double digits sack season since 2018 and would routinely disappear for 2+ games at a time, make one sack and then disappear again. This year he had a 6 sack miracle game and nothing else. If I wanted to spend $130M in 2018 money, I'd pick a different horse.

No. I want him deactivated until he's ready to play. My point is that he couldn't even beat Alec Anderson right now. This version of Von Miller is not even an NFL talent. He's being abused by bottom tier tackles. We may need to accept that like Tre White, he'll never return to form. This injury at his age is often a career ender.

You don't need "game reps" when you're playing below practice rep quality. When the dude can beat Alec Anderson, he can start getting game reps.

It's a balance. Hollywood Josh will never win a thing in this league without a miracle of circumstances where the best teams and the best QBs get bounced in big upsets or due to injury. Patrick Mahomes didn't become the best QB in the league until he stopped playing hero ball all game. Tom Brady became the best QB in NFL history 5 yards at a time. Josh and the coaching staff have overcorrected on reigning in the Hollywood, but they can win this way, and the hope is if they let just enough out, they can win a lot. Dorsey and McDermott might not be the right guys to do this, but this is most definitely the best chance Josh ever has of getting a Super Bowl and/or an MVP. Boring football is championship football.

I'm not saying he should sit around, but he could be doing the same thing he's doing in games at the field house when there isn't a game on the line. He's in a really bad spot right now and needs to re-learn how to move laterally. All he can do right now is run in a straight line, and someone with that skillset shouldn't be active on game days.

He looks worse than useless out there. He's a liability. They should have given him the full 21 days to recover and he should be inactive until he can be productive. Right now AJ Epenesa is a far superior player that shouldn't be taken off the field to give Von reps unless it's garbage time.

Expect the Bills to be emotionally exhausted 3 months from now.

Who ar eyou going to bench sou he can get reps? You already have Von, Groot, AJ, and Floyd as pass rushers with Shaq also playing a rotational role and one of the best run defenders of the group. Clark brings nothing to our group at all. Hard pass.

Without White, Jones and Milano, I think this will be a bottom 15-10 caliber unit. People really don't appreciate what Jones does for this defense. The whole unit revolves around him, imo. If Benford misses significant time, I expect us to be worse than that. We'll get bailed out in the stats by a soft schedule where we get to play some truly awful offenses, but I expect to get completely lit up in January against good teams.

Offense is humming? Like a car with a dead battery?

If Milano played in a 3-4 he'd be an ILB. a 3-4 OLB is just a 4-3 DE in disguise.

There is no good. The season died with certainty yesterday. An already bad run defense lost its two most important pieces, and we do not have an NFL level talent to replace Milano. Our offense still doesn't have the consistency required of a championship team and is unlikely to get it before the end of the season. The worst part is that the team just has no grit. It's a very soft culture McD has built here and ultimately it will be our undoing as this team loves to shrink in big moments.

Comparing our team to last year's team isn't very meaningful, because they weren't very good either. Unfortunately i see a less than 5% chance of this team being able to win a Super Bowl this year. It'll be one of the 49ers, Eagles, or Chiefs the rest of the teams in the NFL are playing a different sport and should just be happy to get to play football. We likely didn't have the pieces we needed before the injury to Tre White, and now having lost our two best defensive players, we certainly don't. Epenesa is nice surprise, but unfortunately he's int he last year of his deal and will likely be out of our price range as a rotational DE. Unless Beane plans on making a trade for Pat Surtain and Roquan Smith, this season is going to be a wash. Hopefully we at least see Bernard, Williams, Torrence, Benford, Kincaid, Shakir and Groot develop this year so we have a realistic shot in 2024.

Allen didn't make any big mistakes and made some good plays, but he played the entire game too tentatively and it resulted in delayed passes. He had two deep underthrows that both would have went for TDs, plus numerous underneath throws that got out of his hand too slowly (swing passes to RBs come to mind) that caused players to have to stop their route and killed any chance of YAC. He needs to process faster and get the ball out if we want to take the next step as an offense.

the quad boxes are great. I'm on a 65" tv and have no problem paying attention to each game. I wish they had a channel that had all 4 up at all times. I do this on my pc with streams often.

Because they're the best team in the league with the best player in the league and the greatest TE of all time.

Bar Bill are some of the best wings int he country. It's impossible for anything to be 100% better than them.

There are a lot of great QBs out there making great plays all the time. I love that Josh is our QB, but there's other guys out there that have taken their teams to conference championship games and Super Bowls that are pretty great too. That's not even talking about the young up and comers.

Unlikely. He's a major coverage liability that will show once he's a a part of the offensive gameplan. He's a 5th year journeyman and is what he is at this point imo. I expect safety to be a high priority draft pick over the next year or two with possible placeholders like Rapp coming here on short deals as we try to stay competitive at the position. There's a chance we make FA signings for guys on the rise like Poyer and Hyde were, but I don't put Rapp into that category.
