You're right, Edmunds is faster. I just looked at their combine numbers. But I just think Milano is a MUCH better tackler. I can think of multiple plays in the last few games alone where Edmund's blew into the backfield right after the ball was handed off to the RB and Edmunds couldn't make the tackle. No one is catching Lamar in the open field. The issue seems to be his ability to shed and juke tacklers. I have more confidence in Milano in those scenarios.

Wouldn't Milano be a better spy? To me he's the better tackler and he's faster.

Have other teams been blitzing him a bunch?

On defense, they're friggin good. #4 in defensive DVOA. On offense, they're friggin good. #1 in offensive DVOA. I honestly haven't watched them enough to form an opinion. They're #3 in pass defense DVOA but #24 in rush defense DVOA. So is this a Singletary game? Are they weaker on the interior or on the edges? Are they weaker at CB or Safety? Do we continue with what we're doing and just tell Josh if he sees a path to run, do it but protect yourself? I really hope we don't do a bunch of designed QB runs. We all know Lamar is the story with the offense, but Mark Ingram is EXACTLY the type of RB we have tons of problems with. Personally I want to see Frazier just dial up TONS of pressure on both run and pass blitzes and go for broke. Put 8 up front and emphasize gap responsibilities and containment on the edges and let the secondary earn their stripes. Lamar and Ingram will undoubtedly make some large chunk plays, but maybe this forces some mistakes, too. As far as the weather gods, do we really want utterly terrible WNY weather? Doesn't that typically benefit the offense? We're more than a week away from this game and this game more than the NE game in Foxborough will be our most difficult test.

While Daboll and the offense continued high usage with a specific personnel package, it became clear that it was no longer a core five. Receiver Isaiah McKenzie had been right around Beasley in snap counts over the past two weeks, though the Bills significantly cut into that against Dallas. Up until the run-out-the-clock moments near the end of the game, McKenzie registered only 54 percent of the offensive snaps, which is below his time on the field in previous weeks. The reason for the switch was to get Robert Foster, last year’s second-half darling, on the field and involved in the offense more. Foster accounted for 40 percent of the team’s snaps Thursday. That was slightly surprising given the hamstring injury he suffered against Denver, but the Bills liked what they saw from Foster’s two opportunities with the ball last week. They wanted to involve him more than they have since the beginning of the year, and you have to wonder if this is only the start of things to come. We saw Foster’s involvement surge in the second half of 2018 and he became a staple of the offense. While he won’t unseat Brown or Beasley anytime soon, it’s fair to wonder if Foster will overtake McKenzie in snaps given his usage Thursday night. Foster clearly puts a strain on the defense when he’s on the field, and having him and Brown as speedy bookends is enough to give any free safety a headache. We’ll see how the Bills handle the McKenzie-Foster split against Baltimore.

Allen was 7-for-9 for 99 yards on third down, with five passing first downs and a rushing first down. Allen’s ability to extend drives with timely throws slowly took the life out of the Cowboys defense. He’s accounted for a total of 56 first downs on third down this season to go with a passer rating of 99.6 on third down.

I saw both "America's Spirit" and "America's Dream." I like both.

You're a bit blind to reality in this post below: If you don't think there's been a mass narrative against Allen ever since draft season leading up to the 2018 draft, you live in a hole. And the bold is just an outright slap in the face to Allen. I think at this point it's hard to say that Allen hasn't already pretty much proven his doubters wrong. You're going to be the guy who comes out and slams him if he has a really bad game in the middle of 4 other good games. If you think that's the definition of inconsistency for QB play, you're being ridiculous. Also here, if you're really blind to where you're criticism of Allen was.

I can't believe you're still desperately trying to squeeze criticism in here. So it's on Allen to make McKenzie's equilibrium better so he doesn't stumble on that play? Seriously?

It's been a great case study in analytics vs scouting, too

Not the moment... Took me at least 24 hours.

Yes

Thanks... I was super confused about what the heck he was saying.

My bad! Didn't even notice I left out the decimal point til just now.

Have you changed your mind on him yet? Today I'm pretty thankful Josh Allen is improving and has learned from his mistakes.

Happy Thanksgiving everyone!!! LET'S GO BUFFALO!!!! Soooooo did Foster just have a cramp against the Broncos? Shocked he can play one short week.

#Metoo Wait... something seems little fishy about that

Fine, don't be interested in per capita. The US, not India, is the 2nd worst contributor to emissions worldwide. Start solving the problem where you're able to. The US can and should be doing something. You guys need to stop deflecting. You're like a pack of guilty kids on the playground who all got into a fight and are pointing at the other guy who started it when you're all part of the problem.

No, China is, then the US, then India... and the US has like 20% the population of each one of those countries. And you're right... as those economies grow, they'll go to the cheapest energy sources, which is quickly turning out to be green energy. The United States already has the electrical infrastructure set up relying primarily on the Fossil Fuel industry, which also has its fingers in Washington's cookie jar, making it so politically difficult to shift off fossil fuels even though we should and it really would be cheaper long term to do so with more haste. Which posters ideals? Are you talking about my comments on Nuclear power? Did you notice all my caveats? As an aside, we're still the global leader in emissions per capita and are 2nd worst overall in the world.

Huh???? We've already gone through our Industrial Revolution... My proposal???? Just what the hell is my proposal???

It's just so bizarre that they think it's a legitimate defense.

The average Chinese citizen is responsible for less than half the emissions the average American citizen is responsible. And none of this is to say that the Chinese shouldn't do something as well, but we aren't in China. The US clearly needs to do much more. Pretty obvious.

What's the point of your post? I'm not a nuclear power expert. Are you? I like nuclear power. But it's also pretty damn scary because of what it can do when things go wrong: Chernobyl, Fukushima, Three Mile Island, etc. My point is that Nuclear power would be the ideal answer if we could ensure preventing accidents like those.

I have a lot to learn??? I'm certainly always trying to learn, but this post was pretty entertaining. No you aren't misreading it, but is it really more commendable to go from utterly all time atrocious to just terrible than to go from relatively okay to bad? US might be improving, but at a snail's pace and, as the United Nations report above states, it's not NEARLY fast enough and we're one of the 7 countries most carelessly putting the rest of the world at risk as far as climate change is concerned.
