The Bills blow out the Tolzien Colts and 49ers. This is really not a fair argument, Buffalo would have faced 2 top 5 defenses out of their first 3 games. The Jets defense is better than Colts and 49ers as well. Lets see how they do next week vs Dallas and than the following week vs Seattle before naming Goff MVP and McVay coach of the year.

They do not effect the outcome of the game. The only player that was let go that an argument could be made we are better with would be Watkins. Over the past few seasons Buffalo's offense has been just as productive with and without him. Even with LA he has had 1 good game and is hurt.

This game comes down to Taylor. The defense will keep us in the game. I think the rushing attack will better but still limited. The game is going to come down to the 4th quarter and if the offense capn get in the endzone.

So you think they win there division? They beat the colts and 49'ers and now they are tops of the NFL? They finish 6-10 best case is 7-9

Roman got fired, than Lynn got a head coaching job so I hate to tell you but no matter who was brought in the scheme was going to change on offense. Really the only coach who didnt change much was Tomlin when Pittsburgh hired him. That however, was an extremely rare situation. Who take over a Superbowl team.

There have been games like last week every year.... Baltimore last year, Tennessee the year before. Does this become a trend or is it just a tough game with a conservative game plan vs a good defense?

To me this has more to do with play calling than player execution. Once Buffalo decided they should let Taylor throw the ball on first down they moved the football. I understand with the teams strength they can not abandon the run however, they need to do a better job of keeping the defenses guessing. This week will be interesting to see into coach Mcdermott's philosophy. I want to see them open up the offense but I expect they are going to use a similar game plan as to the one that was used vs Carolina.

No. The 49ers are a bad football team. The 2nd Rd pick will still be in the top 40 next year.

I have not seen Taylor play poorly with an aggressive gameplan. Open it up taylor doesnt throw alot of picks but that will open up rushing lanes.

Very simple to me. Against Denver they need to hit some passing plays early. If the can get those down the field it will open up everything they want to do. Stretch left stretch right third and 7 plus will not work again. The analytics are there to implement first down PA and they could be very effective. A littlle pistol formation would help imo as well. Seems like every coach wants to go ball control with Taylor. Hes got arm and ability to make big plays. They need to give him the ability to do so.

Tyrod and the offense go long stretches of poor football. Idk if its scheme if its Taylor or what. The offense has looked the same vs every good defense they have played in three years. Against Denver I would love to see something creative but I expect another shotty offensive performance. Taylor with the ball and a chance to win a game we have no purpose in winning, amd coming up short. The only way to take advantage of a stout defense is to spread them out. They are too fast a team to run the outside zone against. Go 3 to 4 wide. Force them out of there base d. If needed pass early in the game and on first down. Run run pass has nkt worked in the NFL in 20 years.

Imo i do not believe he needs more authority to change out of bad plays but I would like to see them pass more frequently on early downs. The reads are easier and against good teams and the way Buffalo is set up they should pass to set up the run earlier. Play action on early downs will be extremely effective because not only the tendencies they have shown but the running the ball is the teams strengths.

There are games like this all over the NFL every Sunday. The traditional "Good Teams" win these poor games. At the end of the year we only remember Seattle and Greenbay's win lose record not their ugly games they squeak out. At the end of the day if Jones and Taylor connect on that TD the narrative and analysis of this team is completely different. They lost a tough fought game to good football team in their home opener. Couple of positives, they are still relatively healthy and the loss was to an out of conference opponent. This week Buffalo will face a similar style game. I think Buffalo handles business on defense and I am curious to see if they have come up with some wrinkles on offense. I don't think this will be an exciting game in the high scoring sense but will be a defensive struggle and 1 or 2 plays decides the outcome.

Need him to get healthy so we can move Dawkins over to the right side so mills can stay off the field. Will they trust Henderson enough to play him on the left side and have Dawkins play RT, or will he just get waived or be the swing tackle.

As someone who likes Tyrod. For him to be the long-time solution at QB he has to avoid having these style of games. Sure his worst games Buffalo does not get blown out but look completely inept on offense. Regardless of his rushing numbers 125 yards passing is poor at any level. If he does get into these games it would be different if he routinely found a way to win them. Overall, my assessment of his game is that of Russell Wilson. But, these are the kind of games he has to but the main difference is normally finds a way to win them. His first year he has a game like this vs Tennessee but found a way to win that is the last one I can think of.

Depending on what side of the body the injury is on, would it be easier on Glenn to play and anchor from RT than LT. I like Dawkins athletic ability on the left side.

Thats bound to happen with a rookie wr. He is getting open just not making the plays. Imo we are close to him really having a break out type game. I would do a few things early in the next game to get his confidence up.

Like i thougbt he worked his way into a sack. I expect for the next couple of weeks that is what to expect. The defense played great. So far so good on that side of the ball.

I feel like this story is over stating the snap count. In todays NFL most effective defenses platoon lineman. Benefit is late in the game your best players will be fresher than the O lineman. The plays that determine the game, the ones Buffalo has given up that last 17 years hopefully will be made.

I think he has the potential to be a #1. He also is clearly a leader. His decription of Zay Jones is very indepth and shows he is willing to help a guy he met a few weeks ago.

Yes. Our current home combo with a red helment.

Red helmets 90's. I would be all for taking current uniforms and using a red helment. Current all whites are the best current combo.

Mckelvin fumbling away the upset of NE.

Under 190 yards. 1 td 2 picks. I think he is rusty and not quite healthy. I would be more worried if we had rexs defense. Cam is at his best when he has big plays. If he doesnt get multiple 50 yard plays their offense is very inconsistent. This is a battle of very similar teams. Think our defense is good enough to avoid the big plays and stop their ground attack. I think our offense is good enough to sustain a few long drives and get 1 or 2 big plays. Thats the differance in the game. Who gets the big plays on offense and break the game open with one on defense. I agree with both of you. He doesnt make the best decision under pressure. He has some farve in him where he can place too trust in his arm to force some tight throws into traffic. Alexander will be key. I would put him in the a gap alot and bring pressure to his face. I think Lawson will make a big impact and will hustle himself into a sack or 2 when Cam holds onto the ball to long and/or gets flushed to him while trying to escape the pocket.

I assume he will be listed for any lite nick every week and rarely practice on friday all year. Have him involved wed thurs for the gameplan install and help him stay fresh the rest of the week.
