Knock on all the wood. He is playing great. First time in his career not playing 80% of the snaps has to help. I think he gets a few more sacks Thursday. Back up RT and Tua is not Fields or Jackson in the pocket.

Hold on. Burrow used all his power to get Chase on the team and for them to pay Higgins and Chase top of market. Imo they should have drafted Sewell over Chase. Chase is a great player and I understand why they drafted and extended him. Paying Higgins was the mistake. Put that money into the Oline. Burrow is a pocket passer got to protect him. Not for nothing too Allen has sprained his ankle, tore the ligament in his throwing elbow, broke his hand and now broke his nose. Has not missed 1 game. Post game CBS asked him about his nose and xray. He said no he declines them “them” being xrays. Allen has had many things most dont play with.

Buffalo is trying to protect that market. With Allen imo the games would come off closer to home games much more than any other international option. Going to Toronto with Vince Carter and Tracy Mcgrady vs England or Spain is a no brainer. International games are here to stay might.

***** turf at Metlife no reason to risk a worst lower body injury.

Great Value Ravens. Leaser defense. Lesser Qb, Lesser Rb. Buffalo spent weeks on the Ravens and all the corrections made after Sunday night all apply to the Jets. Man to man vs Allen equals death. Thats what Glenn plays. Win first down on defense and the Jets will wither away. I think this game can get very one sided in multiple ways in the Bills favor.

The breif time Ryan was the Head Coach and Fitz was the Jets Qb. Thats the only time in history.

Now if I'm Buffalo and third down with 15 seconds I run 4 verticals and have Allen throw it to the 200 section to kill 7 secs.

What if they tried starting the game (against elite teams especially) with that same urgency and aggression? That's my biggest complaint. Our defense isn't good enough most of the time against the best offenses, but could be with more help (scoring) to make those offenses more one-dimensional.
They were able to run and control the game the last time they played Baltimore. Im fine with treating 17 like Clark Kent until he needs to be Superman. Games where the running game is clicking and PA is set up, play that game. When needed go spread and attack. Creating the ground attacks makes the Bills harder to defend.

Heard an interesting point from a Dolphins fan (I was watching a reaction video and enjoying their crushing disbelief). At the end of the game, when the Bills were just downing it, forcing the Ravens to use up their timeouts so the Bills could kick with no time left, Harbaugh could have forced them into more of a scramble drill. After the 2nd Down knee, Harbaugh uses his last timeout right away at 32 seconds. The Bills can now down it one more time and than have a relatively leisurely half minute to get the kicking team out there, which is what happened. Instead, Harbaugh could have let the clock run down a bit to maybe 15 seconds or so. Then the Bills have much less time after the knee to get the field goal team in place. They could still do it, but it would be rushed.
In fact, he could have caused quite a panic even before that - the Bills are expecting the timeout there, but was the FG team ready to run on if Harbaugh didn't call time out at all? If he just let the clock run. Even if they do react well and run out there in good order while the clock is ticking, Harbaugh can still call his time out with enough on the clock that they don't want to kick on third down, so they have to go through the condensed knee/switch units deal. Maybe they decide to just kick on third down with 15 seconds left, rather than risk it, but then the Ravens at least get a kickoff and Hail Mary.
Anyway, thought that was interesting, from a very depressed Dolphins fan. Sorry if this was already discussed. I tried to read everything, but may have missed it.
100%. I thought holding the time out and seeing what they do is the play. Adds more variants. Also, worst case call it at 20 to 15 secs and it’s tight for a play and fire drill fg. At 15 sec Mcdermott kicks a fg on 3rd down.

I look at it as Rousseau, Bosa, Oliver, Cook, Benford are the current OGs on the roster. They will get rest days they will get light practice days. Im not going to read too much into Thursday's practice report. Friday has usually been the indicator the last few years. I wouldnt be against guys with lower body things not playing in the metlife and being extra cautious. Bad turf.

31-13. After eating it all week the defense comes out fast. Benard and Milano play much better holding the Jets under 100 yards rushing. Jets play man and Shakir is this week’s star but Coleman makes the highlight when he pulls down the fade over Sauce late.

Since acquiring Henry Baltimore's O really has had it's way with us if not for the few critical turnovers. Week 4 they blew us out. Divisional round last year, Mark Andrews personally gifted us the win with 2 critical drops and a fumble. This past week it was the critical Henry fumble late in the game that gave us a chance. Yeah, you can make the argument that what makes us the better team is the ability to generate turnovers and it is something the Bills under McDermott have had continued success with, but it's just not something I like hanging my hat on because there is usually a lot of variance and luck involved with turnover differential.
Why cant the “better” guys make a play? Oliver was the best defender on the field for either team in that game. Because he made the plays.-

I'm very sure about it yes. Do you appreciate how much of a difference .7 YA is?
Allen's most prolific rushing season he had 763 yards. In 6 of 7 seasons, Jackson's lowest total is 764
That missed sack by Bosa and Rousseau where Jackson was 15 yards behind the LoS and then rushed for a first down? That's a Jackson exclusive play. No other QB in NFL history makes that play.
The prolific to me adds touchdowns into the equation. Jackson is a better runner. The amount of touchdowns Allen scores rushing makes him the more prolific runner.-

I have found it funny that lead into the game was that Ravens have a better roster AND they circled this game so will give it their best shot. Then after the game its still Ravens gave it their best shot for 3.5 quarters and have a better roster. I just dont understand how you can think they are clearly a better roster and played better for 3.5 quarters but lost. Something has to give there.
Push come to shove what team made the stops? What team converted plays. The Bills. Multiple sacks. Both Rousseau and Bosa nearly got a third and the final Henry run doesn't happen. The play of the game the forced fumble by Oliver. 3 yards in the backfield btw. Where was that with Baltimore. The Bills offense going conservative was the only thing that slowed the Bills early.

The defense with 4 All Pros gave up 41 points. Bills oline and Wr corp is better. D line is a push leaning Buffalo. Saftey play Baltimore and Corner room is a push. They are closer than you think. Media and PFF say one thing but the results on the field say another. In the last 2 games what play did Baltimores defense make? They gave up more points, made less plays but are better because they have a cool black bird on their helmet?

Spoiler they are not. Buffalo gave up 230 on the ground. Baltimore gave up 390 through the air. Baltimores uniform makes you think they are a good defense. Because they have been built on defense for decades. Similar to Pittsburgh. I have never seen so many media members talk about how bad the Bills defense was. How they could not make a stop yet the Raven gave up more points and yards…
-
Bosa, Ed and Rousseau played very well. Felt like if they didnt make the play no one did.
-
Mahomes played his best individual game in 3 years imo. Still trailed the whole way and not enough. I feel like they are in trouble this season. The 1 score game stat will regress to .500 and they will be a 10 win team. Buffalo wins Sunday Night they win Home field.
-
This isn't for any surprise move. Allows Buffalo to function through the season with call ups and in season signings.
-
27-23 Buffalo makes enough plays on defense. Milano or Benard get a pick six on a tip pass. Confidence level is 4/10.

Also heard Ricard is questionable. Imo Baltimores scariest package is 22 with Likely, Andrews, Richard and Henry with Bateman or Flowers. Forces you to load the box and they can displace you with size or take advantage behind the second level. Not having that plays into Buffalos nickel defense.

Assume Phillips takes Carter roster spot and Gabe takes Phillips spot on practice squad.

Injuries just suck! Feel for these guys that can see their careers ended when they’ve worked so hard to get to the NFL. Unfortunately, Carter will go down as another miss in the early rounds by Beane. When you trade back in the draft to get Coleman and don’t take advantage of the extra pick it hurts. Especially when that’s even more draft capital that has gone into the DL with minimal returns. For all the draft capital and FA dollars spent on the DL, it’s probably safe to say Oliver and Groot are the only picks that have been moderately good. Both go MIA far too often so it would be hard to give them higher than a low B grade.
Also happened in Wednesday’s practice and just being reported on Sunday. Obviously, local Bill’s reporters have ZERO connections.
They (Bills Media) don't break anything. No one was aware Carter tore his achilles? Unless he is the toughest human of all time you don't simply walk off the field. Might as well all be paid NFL employees at this point. Just an extension of the Bills PR department. -

Unfortunately for him that might be his career right there. Hes a big boy and an Achilles is extremely hard to come back from for even elite athletes that aren't big boys. Hope the best for him.
Death, taxes, and Phillips starting for the bills somehow every year.
He would be DT 5
Is Cook worth it?

That 44 yard run was the best of his career. When they go spread he is a nightmare vs man. That big play vs Baltimore was just as impressive.
