48-0. The beast is re awakened. Bills dominate. Cook has a breakout game.

Why doesnt the NFL start the regular season in August? For his career his body is used to build up. It is important for Buffalo to give White that. I think he plays this week or next. Not having Elam or facing Jefferson isnt the reason to play him. Feeling his body’s physiology is ready for peak performance would be. Its a very modern approach but I think its prudent.

Allen is worth more than 3 points. The books were hedging. If Allen were to be out the line would be closer to -1 or +1.

I understand it if he is. Do you have him play for the first time in a year vs a top 5 wr? Idk. As a fan I do but also want White back for the playoffs not to just beat the Vikings.

Maybe they are going to use Hines in the slot. Speed motions and traditional slot. Instead of having Hines learn both positions have him concentrate on 1. With Singletary and Cook his biggest impact and the teams need could be slot.

Agreed all the postering but what happens with the roster will be a key indicator for tomorrow. Elam and Poyer down would point to more Dbs being active and possible Rhodes call up. Time will tell.

I feel Buffalo is being smart and supportive of Tre. Look at Baltimore. Dobbins and Edwards are both coming off ACLs. Dobbins is out again with a knee problem and Edwards is out with a hamstring. Buffalo is allowing White to have a training camp type ramp up. I view training camp as Whites OTAs and the last few weeks have been his training camp. I think we are close to him playing. Maybe not a full game but getting on the field. I think he plays this week or next week. This is a situation that makes Buffalo appealing to potential FA. Give your players the best runway post injury.

Beane has done a pretty good job of trying to solve roster questions with numbers. Brought back Mckenzie who flashed when Beasley was out. Signed Crowder who was one of the best slot free agents. They also drafted Shakir who was one of the top slot guys coming out. You cant really argue that he just sat pat. Same goes for oline, dline.

Singletary has a role for sure. I see it like NO split with Ingram and Kamara during Kamaras rookie year. Cook has more big play ability. Give him more touches so he can take advantage of the times when the line gets everyone blocked. Those 10 to 20 yard runs by Singletary are much bigger with Cook. They have brought Cook along very slowly. They also have schemed up redzone plays that were also wide open but were not able to get the play off. Put those plays in the offense more often. I don't expect Buffalo to run alot more. I do think they need to find a way that is not so dependent on Allen for a big play. I believe that is Cook. 5 touches a game isnt enough to show it. Singletary needs 10 to 15 to get going. I think you can get the same increase in output with Cook and the ceiling would be much higher.

If it was bad he would already be ruled out. I dont think Allen is the type to tell his teammates he is playing than not play. A week of rest for his elbow and I think Allen plays. Tonight we will get an indication. If Barkley is brought up probably signals Allen will be held out. I think Buffalo wins with or without Allen. The offense will be more multiple and more balanced.

I swap Cook with Singletary. They are building Cook up slowly. I think they are at the point where they give him more. With more touches I think he makes a bigger impact than Singletary.

I would like to see Cook get 15 carries. Im not advocating 30 plus carries a game as an offense. 20 to 25 is the right number. I think Cook will provide a spark to offense. A few big runs changes the outlook of the offense.

Could be a blessing in disguise. The offense is too reliant of Allen. Use this to expand the run game and match it with play action. Retire the design qb runs til January.

Main return man. Going to have a schemed play for a probable TD from the 7 yard line. He will get around 10 plays in the offense.

Hard to say what the coverage was. Also, the defense should have had most the deep half inside the 10.

Depth that knows Buffalos scheme is needed. He will be the 3rd saftey and if Poyer is out multiple weeks very well may start in a week or 2.

Punt returner and offensive weapon. More I think about it more I like it. Hines is going to make some plays. Seeing Pat Mcafee’s reaction in real time is all you need to know. Hines is going to be a factor in the offense and as a returner.

This is the perfect offense for Hines and Cook. Buffalo isnt going to hand the ball off 30 plus times. 20 or so carries plus 4 to 6 catches. The 3 to 4 yards can become 15 to 20. Create some lanes in the run game and they can get down field in a hurry. More speed more versatility.

Hines is an upgrade at returner and receiving back. With our running scheme he will make some chunk plays. Compensation vs return its an A+ trade. He is not CMC or Karmara but he didnt cost 5 picks either. I think he is very underrated and his play fits Buffalos offense like a glove.

Replay showed it bounced. Why stop and do an offical replay it if its not going to be over ruled?

If Breece Hall was healthy I would be mildly concerned after last night. With James Robinson and Michael Carter Im not worried. I expect a blow out.

Buffalos only loss is vs Miami an AFC loss. Losing to Gb is better than KC. Losing the game to Pittsburgh at Tennessee and at Jacksonville were the games you look at for costing the number 1 seed. Fixing those and maintaing the KC game is key. Make Mahomes leave Arrowhead. Brady vs Manning was alot more Manning at Brady. That was why Brady led that series in the playoffs.

This is not about now but November. Post trade deadline OBJ could offer the same juice he offered LA last year. He has made visits. He is not only chasing LA the City. If so he would be content going back. He is chasing a vibe. Buffalo is the vibe. Von knows this. When healthy Beane will make an incentive rich deal. Next year get paid. OBJ, Davis, Diggs is the best wr group in the league all can line up anywhere. This is a put the chips on the table and win it all move. Same thing as Von on Defense but OBJ needs to be healthy first. Its a serious enough knee injury the obvious and ideal team wouldn't sign him until he could pass a physical.

This was CBS #1 pick for the year. This game decides the rematch. Buffalo needs to win to make Mahomes and KC go on the road. Mahomes and Allen have a key fact in common. Neither have won a road playoff game.

Too much talk imo for it to happen. He would make the offense unreal.
