What makes him dangerous is his body control. Allen has elite ball placement. White and Trubisky have small odds making those plays to Coleman. They dont have the arm talent to consistently hit it

Denver is a solid team. Not great but solid. I think Mcdermott confuses Nix early and results in some neg plays. Buffalo takes an early lead and doesn't look back. 31-17 Buffalo.

He didnt have to play. Jackson did. Has 8 pro bowlers and Allen had 1 with a better record. Its over.

I expect alot of White. Allen quick hook for Trubisky than when most of the ones are out White will come in for the better part of 3 quarters to a half.

The difference in Mahomes and Allen is so small you cannot say they made a bad decision. Too many ripple effects if Buffalo drafts Mahomes. If Pegual drafts Mahomes he does so with trust in Whaley and Beane never makes it to Buffalo because Whaley stays. I credit Beane’s management and staff changing the culture in Buffalo as much as Mcdermott changed the locker room. The in fighting and constant leaks during the Brand and Whaley run was terrible. Ironically, once they were moved the leaks stopped.

Agree. Benard vs Dodson last season was wild.

They didn't want to retro fit a scouting department. Ultimately it paid off. White, Dawkins and Milano were culture guys. Beane and Mcdermott from that point knew they were going after a qb in 2018. Played put great for Buffalo.

I strongly feel PFF only looks at solo tackles to grade linebackers. No idea how to determine pass coverage unless you get an interception. Imo it’s a corner and Qb tool. The rest is wild. Even the qb and cb are wonky.

I think Allen wins and it’s all but over. Jackson has to play to secure the division. Allen locked his up a month ago. Better record less talent around him. Take into account fumbles Allen has less turnovers. Jackson is having a fantastic season. Having the leading rusher in the conference has greatly helped that.

Slop and shlop. 25-12 Bills. An OT catches the record TD. If not Dawkins or Brown then I think it will be Vandenmark. I think this game will have a special teams td. Codrington has been close he breaks one. Only thing to make this more sloppy of game is bad weather.

Vrabel is the best available coach. I don't think it’s very close. Bad run teams will be intimidated by him and likely find a reason to not hire him. Give the man a qb and look out imo.

Davis, Solomon, VPG and Grable at LT

That is every team. The very good players what has made Buffalo consistent over the last 7 years. Every team has a handful of guys. What is behind it makes a team good or not. The browns have the best defensive player in the league and a top corner.

Allen, Johnson Brown, and Rousseau. I would make an argument for Cook and Benford. Thats 4-6. Dawkins and Milano were not his draft so I left them off.

Get guys healthy is huge. Last season injuries derailed the defense. They have better depth now. They are more multiple as well. At full strength they can play for scheme and team specific than making work what ya got.

Beating a division rival with back ups never gets old. That Miami game with Tua in a win and in scenario a few years a go and Antonio Williams ran for 100 yards was great.

I think the defense is overstated. Being healthy is the key. Buffalo seems to be getting people back at the right time. Milano is beginning to look like himself. That will have as large an impact as anything. Hyde being available if needed will be large too. I think Mcdermott has the most flexibility in personal he has ever had on defense. 4-3, Nickel, Dime. I want to see him get in his bag this post season and push the team over the top.

You have a 40 year old qb coming off injury and they spend good money on 2 late 30’s tackles who cant stay healthy? For how great a roster they have, it is really 4-6 players. Douglas drafted Wilson and traded for Rodgers. Never built an oline, had a dline but lost it for Rodgers “guys”.

Virgil. First play of the game they throw a bomb. 70 yards and 14 seconds later Allens day is over.

They are the best Tackle combo in football imo.

Games in September are not the same as ones played in November and December. They count the same but the weight and significances are not the same. Neither Buffalo nor Baltimore are those teams. This season is as good as any for Buffalo to win it. Allen playing his best is always Buffalos best chance. The level he can reach is not matched by any current qb imo.

His role in college was that of a slot/box safety. Playing deep third or half was always going to be an adjustment. Buffalo puts a significant amount of run responsibility on its safeties by playing Nickel. The best coverage safeties coming out usually are a liability vs the run. I think he is coming along. Better than his first game.

Beane has done such a good job drafting we forget what busts look like. He hasnt hit all home runs but all but a few of the guys he drafts play in Buffalo or elsewhere. Vast majority of the impact players on the team were drafted here. Beane is a top 5 GM. Every leader of every statistical category on the Bills but TD catches is held by a player drafted by Beane.

Besides Basham they haven't really struck out on the Dline.

Why you dont keep coaches on the hot seat. NE is the only team with a QB so not a big deal. I do not see how you keep Schoen or Daboll after each year they have gotten worst and look the same each season. Saquan breaking Dickersons record vs NYG would be hilarious.
