I thought there were multiple blatant holds the refs didn’t call the Packers on today. Officiating favors the victor, I guess.

Me too. This is clearly a team discovering themselves.

Our next 4 games are the Titans, Texans, Colts and Patriots on MNF. I think 2-2 at least happens there, maybe better. Back half of the season is 5 home games. This season is going to consist of a lot of ebbing and flowing with some of the young guys at critical positions we have.

I still think we get into the playoffs.

No one should be outraged. 2-2 in our first 4 games to start the season would have been impressive given our schedule. 1-3 is just fine as we move into the easier portion of the season.

I think Shady has a serious impact thanks to RPOs. It starts this week

Yes. All season. Barring injury. Period. Starting Peterman at all was one of the dumbest moves in NFL history. And McDermott has done it multiple times. It's baffling that so many fell for the mirage of preseason... TWICE!!! Allen's our QB. God I hope he doesn't get injured ?

Gillislee for Milano. How does everyone feel about that?

Tremaine Edmunds looks like a physical freak who is already flashing

Our WRs have been terrible through 3 games. Foster, KB and Clay each dropped 1 or 2 passes in the Vikings game alone. Very disappointing because I thought they couldn't get worse from the last couple years. The good news is that they're getting open and Allen's getting them the ball. Now they need to learn how to catch.

Good stuff! The first couple weeks were a good time to be off the grid and sounds like you came back about the right time. I actually sat next to Siran Neal's brother week 2 watching the game. He's a Jags fan so he showed up late because that was the week the Jags played the Pats. Good guy. Said he'd be back and I saw him again on Sunday, but he was sitting in a different part of the bar. Minor thing, but Neal's name is pronounced SiRON, not SiRAN.

Just ahead of Trubisky and CJ Beathard. Pretty funny. I think it's pretty clear the national pundits and experts are going to be really really stubborn about Allen. He had the best showing on Sunday out of Darnold/Mayfield/Rosen and has showed progress in each game he's played. The moment he has a bad game--which will happen-- he's going to be crucified. When he plays really well, like he did last Sunday where his stats were only relatively "mediocre" (and is a 69% completion with 3 TDs and 0 turnovers really mediocre???) was because we got out to a huge lead in the 1st half and completely let our foot off the gas pedal in the 2nd half. (Wasn't there something about Allen's 1st half being the best half by a rookie in years by some measure?) There will be a few national pundits who embrace Allen, but they're guys who have embraced him early, like Schrager and Adam Schein. Everyone else will firmly hold onto the fact that Allen will fall apart, and when it looks momentarily like he has, he'll be pounced on. And when he has a really good game, it'll probably be glossed over and they can easily do it because he just plays for Buffalo.

Don't point to Mike Rodak for credible journalism.

Did you see us to start the season???? This team needed a motivational spark. Let's just pray it was a spark to a pile of kindling in a wicker room.

Davis wasn't some easily forgotten rookie. He was one of our "big" FA acquisitions. A 9 year vet and recent 2 time pro bowler. He was supposed to be our answer at our #2 CB. I'm sure his attitude was one foot out all Summer and you're probably right that the Bills players aren't all that upset to see him go, but it's naive to think it's lost on them that a this is an occurrence that really rarely (or never...?) has happened in NFL history and it happened to them.

Hughes is a poor-man's Khalil Mack. I actually mean that as a compliment.

I'd like to see Daboll just give Allen the go-ahead for any 3rd or 4th and 1 or less to not even huddle and just get quickly up to the line and QB sneak for a 1st down the way Brady and the Pats do. With Allen's 240 lbs pushing behind Bodine he should be able to get 1 yard 100% of the time. But it has to be automatic without a huddle so the defense can prepare and scheme against it.

This is such an awesome awesome thread with all these breakdowns concentrated in one place. Thanks 26CB!!! I'm still thinking we make a lot of noise and win a lot of games this year, but damn I'm looking forward to the next couple years when we get all that CAP space and upgrade to weapons for Allen who can actually catch the ball

"We flushed it like a loss." Yeah. Word choice alone is pretty telling right there

Come on guys... do you really think he made this bet? I thought this was one of the dumbest bets ever before today happened. It just really has to be fake. Especially with the way he was talking about it. Isn't it amazing to anyone else how stupid Vegas was here? Call it hindsight, but anyone who watched the Bills in week 2 and paid attention to the halftime situation and then adjustments made would have known a 3 score line was preposterous in the following week against any team.

Already a thread

Like I said, a spark in a room full of kindling
