Patrick Duffy

I see what you did there...well played lol

Overall the Oline has been fairly decent. I believe they are quite a bit better than some seem to suggest. I know there are areas that need to improve for sure. You mentioned specifically T and G....Specifically the last 2 games with S. Brown out, it looked to me DQ was better in both pass and run blocking. While there's definitely room for improvement, I just don't feel it's as terrible as some make it out to be. Would you say the Oline so far is better or worse than last season?

You mean the one with him and OBJ holding the SB trophy?

I tend to agree with you. As long as Josh continues to have help surrounding him and solid Oline there's no telling how wide it can be. Defense has always been competitive under McD so that's likely not to change much. Don't want to take it for granted though because something could happen and that window can close pretty fast. But definitely going to enjoy every minute of it while it last

Clearly means he's coming to Buffalo "connect the dots"~Dunkirk Don

I did read entire post. Of course he's improved. I didn't say or imply you denied such improvement. I specifically referred to the part of your post that said, "he has trouble with one on one tackling". That's why I put that particular sentence from your post in bold. Not sure how you must have misinterpreted that or if you may have mixed my post up with a different person? Anyways....just wanted to clarify....

I have seen him make some good one on one tackles this season. Some of them being big time hits. So not sure about that

Yeah probably just one of those minor things that have to be reported by rule and was more or less going to be a vet rest day anyways.. Doesn't Von usually have vet rest on Wednesday's and doesn't practice? I'm not sure how often, but I think I've seen vet rest quite often listed for him on Wednesday practices.

Yup I agree....although I have seen quite a few post not long ago posters claimed his big improvement in play is due to "it's expected because it's a contract year". Have seen that statement posted multiple times and can't believe how one could in all honesty come to that conclusion.... I don't see how one can refuse to acknowledge the complete revamp of Bills Dline with addition of Von Miller along with how HUGE the improvement is/has been playing, also could say it's best Dline in Buffalo has had in a very long time..especially pass rush/pressure the QB... How could one not clearly see the way Dline has been killing it up front not a big factor in making Edmunds job so much easier? I mean this is the best Dline Edmunds has ever had in front of him since he's been a Bill. I can't see how one refuses to state the obvious and comes up with he's improved because "it's a contract year" and being serious/honest saying it. So guess it must be some other agenda or something

Thanks, I wasn't able to get online yesterday so I missed that info

But Dean Marlowe man!!! He gona bust out the gate like Donte Hitner!!

That's great and all, but it was just vet rest why he didn't practice Wed right? So one would expect he would practice Fri.... Unless he had an injury and I missed it??

Lol, that would be one hell of a debut....especially while learning the offense. Maybe pull Gabe Davis and get 2 catches for 178 yard

Debatable

Offense- Davis since Alexander is not in his head Defense- Edmunds will be the guy this time

Yeah I agree with you for sure. As for embarrassing defenders Mahomes does it quite often. Only difference is they don't hurdle and stiff arm defenders like Josh. So I definietly agree with you because I certainly understand how a QB Hurdling you or stiff arming you flat on the back of your ass can make a defender more frustrated/embarrassed than a Mahomes juke/no look pass etc would lol I just hope if they get dirty it's called

I mean I know all that division/rivalry game is usually a bit more unpredictable. Has been mentioned by certain defenders other than division. Wasn't specifically talking about Jets only

I know it's basically no chance of it, but I'd love a scenario where it was a chance Hyde could play if deep into play-offs or SB. Wishful thinking I know

Usually there isn't a "next man" there close enough to pop him out the air. Second, defenders sounding as if they want to hit Josh so hard almost comes off as if wanting to hurt him if possible. Try not to get me wrong here, I understand he's a tough runner and all and they have to do what it takes to bring him down. I just hope there's no dirty hits out of frustration etc. I don't notice defenders saying same kind of stuff about Lamar, P. Mahomes when they run or get out the pocket. Granted Josh is a bigger QB which I'm sure is a factor. I'm just saying it's pretty clear some defenders get really frustrated/over emotional with Josh and there are some dirty players out there for sure

Yeah I can't argue with you here....however when taking that into consideration, if Eagles played same teams as Bills do you think they would still be undefeated?

Well the 2nd where Josh was trying to throw in the dirt was just a plan out damn good play by the defender. While Josh has said he made couple stupid plays, that INT in particular he was throwing away to the ground and thought it was going to be a safe incompletion. Dude made n amazing play for sure. Josh learned to no longer dirt incompletions from now on and sling it out of bounds instead.

Agree, for the sake of sh*ts an giggles if Eagles played same opponents as Bills up til now I think they'd have couple losses. At least 2 or 3

Tottally different scenario though..... Jets don't have a Hill/Waddle to open up the field like Fins. Bills mainly need to keep the Jets run game in check and I don't think that will be so much of a problem, even with the injuries.

Well for me when MCD said day to day, I took that the good news as not out for season and missing couple games. I never was expecting him to play this game

He may not even be active this game.
