Not really. Only b/c we might have that luxury to get them some experience against the Patsies.
But come playoffs, give me Hyde and Rasul!

True but I think this part gets overplayed a bit. If you look at the top 80 or so QB recruits in the 2024 class 10 of them were listed at UNDER 6 feet tall. And a bunch hovering at just 6' or 6'1". These are all 3 star and up types. Not being 6'5" played a part but I think it was way more the lack of exposure and competition. Clearly he had athleticism and a strong arm from the tape we see from time to time.
Some guys mature later than others. So while he was only 6'1" he also probably wasn't as strong or strong armed as he would become.

Problem is it's not just clock management, it's situational football. McD has actually gotten better with the clock, imho, since he's grown into the HC role and gave up play calling/DC duties. But he still makes some questionable situational, end of game decisions. The first being not declining the penalty to save time and leave it at 4th and 7, knowing a FG doesn't hurt us much. The other obviously being not having two calls ready for the first failed QB sneak. If you run that play, you have to be ready to go a 2nd time immediately.
I also didn't like the end of the half not going for it on 4th down and losing the chance for a double dip around the half.
That said, going for it on 4th against KC to put the game away was balls.

The entire defense (minus maybe benford) was atrocious last night, but I don't think Hyde is gonna come in and make any kind of difference. At least not yet. Let him play the last 2 games maybe, but he hasent played a snap since last season.
I agree Detroit is probably too early to give him significant PT. But Hyde does bring an element we don't really have at Safety now - ball-hawking.
We could use Hyde's instincts and coverage skills to generate a few more TOs

Good offenses and offensive coaches tend to dominate our D. Problem is that is what you tend to get in the playoffs.

He might get back to form, but the question should be: do we have the luxury to wait?
We're losing seeding, which is important come playoffs. I don't think we should let an obviously currently inferior Milano play every snap over Dorian.

Our zone is incredibly vulnerable. Factor in zero pass rush from our litany of Jags and Nacua was guaranteed to sit down in our zone and be wide open. Stafford wasn't pressured at all.
Brady kept saying how the combo of Stafford (savvy vet) and Puka/Kupp was just too much for our zone D. We needed to mix it up more.
Stafford actually got pressured some, but he was so comfortable with his reads on our D that he just chucked it to the open spot before he got sacked.
The Bills couldn't stop the run either, especially in the first half.
That was a rough game against an O that is finally healthy and in sync.
We didn't look great against SF either, but got bailed out by TOs.
I hate to say it, but Milano might need to sit a little more until fully healthy and up to speed. We also could use Hyde for Hamlin from a coverage standpoint against better passing teams.

So have they abandoned the throwbacks? Still like the all white throwbacks with multiple sleeve stripes and standing buffalo

Not called, but should be a fine. Definitely led with his head.

This isn't the best statistical team, but part of that is because of their efficiency and the reduction in turnovers.
The Bills haven't needed to go up and down the field to score and the D is playing opportunistically despite giving up yards in chunks.
I think the RB room is the best the Bills have had with Allen.
I think the Oline is the best it's been.
I think Allen is the best he's been.
CB and Dline could also make an argument.
Other areas are still improving and if we can get past the divisional round it could very well be the best Allen team so far

Because Josh’s deep ball has sucked for over a year. He’s missed wide open guys more often than not on the deeper routes.
It's true.
Also MVS stepped right into the vertical role Shaheed had in their O before he got injured. We just don't feature that type of play as much and Josh isn't as accurate on those throws as Carr.

if it goes over the goalpost and would have doinked, is it good or a miss? Do they have to guess whether it would have doinked in or hit it square, or is it like a TD, so long as it crosses the plane of the goalpost it's good....?
-
Need to see their healthy O (Rice, Pacheco, etc) matched up against our healthy D (Milano, Bernard, ...) to make the call. Probably wont' ever happen.
But I did like hanging 30 on them even without Kincaid, Keon and Brown. Winning by two scores is a sign that we've potentially finally passed them.

He's grown on me a lot. Selfless glue player that does a little of everything and alot of blocking.

He's got a pretty good QB throwing to him.
Personally, I wanted BTJ, but the cost to trade up probably wasn't worth it.

He's a dog. That's what Josh said and why he wanted him.
Still can't separate, but he's a gamer for sure

McD values reliability. He probably views Bishop’s blown coverage as a big reason they lost to Houston.
But how do you get better without playing?
He should put Bishop in 10 snaps/game and have him do what he’s good at… man coverage on TE/RB, Blitz. And add snaps each game.
cant use a 2nd rounder and still have Hamlin playing all the snaps.
Bishop was a liability against Houston in the first half. He blew so many plays. But I thought he settled down in the 2nd half and should have been given an opportunity against NYJ. But I guess the Bills see Hamlin as more the FS/Micah Hyde role and Rapp as Poyer. And Rapp at this point is much better than Cole

Samuel is really here for the WR screen game. Brady tried that a lot last year with Diggs and Davis. Samuel should excel at it, but the timing has been off. Josh double clutched on multiple attempts last game b/c of upfield pressure.
But otherwise, Samuel is not a very good route runner. He doesn't have a feel for underneath zones like a good slot guy. He runs and then turns around, doesn't move with the QB and the gaps in the zones.
I agree though that with his speed, they should be able to find more creative ways to get him in space downfield, in addition to the screen game.
The timing is all off with him and Josh and Brady

There were so many on this board pounding the table for DK. They were all right about that one. DK should have been the pick
Yup. Don't even get me started on where we'd be with Josh and DK. Chalk another one up for the masses. It's amazing sometimes how bad the NFL scouts are versus NFL fans, with half the knowledge. Might as well crowd source your picks rather than pay personnel departments.

you can see that Allen has no trust in his WRs. He's tentative and not making throws he would make if Diggs were on the other end.
I could also see on each of those throws that were highlighted how Josh was also probably being extra safe with CBs or S that might come off their man to make a play. He just had no faith or conviction in the game plan. He was totally lost.
He also has always had a maddening tendency to miss deep touch passes. You saw that with the Hollins overthrow (although a good WR would have caught it) and the Kincaid underthrow. Placement was just off.

Fault for what?
End of the game fiascos, coaching to lose = McDermott
But he runs a good locker room and is a good defensive coach.
Failing to build a winning team around a generational talent at QB = Beane
So I blame them both

I appreciate the concept of 12 personnel, but you have to throw it to Knox occasionally. They got him a few nice looks the first game, but nothing schemed for him since, it seems. I don't know what's going to with Brady's O, but teams seemed to have figured it out quickly. Josh does not look comfortable, especially when the pressure comes.
Trading up for Kincaid (giving up a 4th) after Knox had just signed that extension seems like a mistake in hindsight. They could have gotten a guy like Josh Downs later, as a better underneath option
Rosen was the "Wrong Josh" after all...

amazing how the 2018 QB class has rebounded this year. Baker and Darnold were written off as busts two years ago. Maybe someone should give Rosen a shot!
