The defense is playing better as a zone defense. I dont expect much man vs Miami either. Elam is a much better man Db than zone at this point. If they need to bring more pressure and need to press opposite White Elam will be on the field. I see it as a scheme and match up based decision. Elam is going to play some important football down the stretch.

I would expect it.

I think Miami struggles down the stretch. This will be 3 road losses in a row. I will go as far to saying they will have another win and in situation on week 18.

Its the NFL a win is a win. Buffalo has a win over every division leader in the AFC currently. They have blown some teams out. They have gone toe to toe with others. Had 4th quarter comebacks vs others. They have blitzed teams with the pass. They have smashed teams on the ground. Every way possible they have won this year. They are better than the 2021 Bills. Allen is having a very good year. We are at the point where an average Allen year is a career for most other qbs.

I go the other way with Cook. I want him to have over 10 touches game. The 4 carries all outside and the Singletary runs all inside are incredibly predictable. Lining Singeltary out wide to run a route and Cook lined up out wide to block was mind numbing as well.

Dan is a smart guy and watches alot of games, but his gimmick is creating click bait clips. Buffalo is top 5 or 10 in almost every category. Those coming for Dorsey forget the Jaguars, Colts, and Steelers game of a year ago. This was a Brady era Patriots style of win. This was a game Buffalo and Allen showed maturity. Early on plays where there but missed due to the elements. Allen has an ability to overcome but it will bring risk. When needed Allen made the plays needed to win. That style wont win every game but it was enough to win fairly comfortably yesterday.

To specify not saying permanent move to nickle for white. Put White in the the slot vs Kelce and top slot guys. No more 90 plus snap counts for Johnson.

Low key Johnson has been as big or bigger a problem than Jackson imo. Big if. If tre is healthy I could see Buffalo putting White in the slot depending on matchup. I think Elam and Benford this offseason brings Tyron Johnson in question.

Hill is Hill. But I expect Miami to be this years New England. They go 49ers, Chargers, Buffalo, New England, and Jets. I could see them going 1-4 or 0-5.

I feel like both Dane Jackson and Tyron Johnson are struggling with a primary role in coverage. Both have underwhelmed. Buffalo going more 4-3 is not only scheme but production based decision. Once White is on a regular snap count I expect Jackson splits his snaps.

Yes, no one watches film on Buffalo and comes away with we have to stop Singletary and Cook to win. Allen is a threat running as well. If I play Buffalo backside end goes Allen than recover. Without the defense crashing to stop the run that play is rather useless. Knox seems to be helping more in pass protection than under Daboll as well. He is helping Brown on what seems like most pass plays. My main take away is I want to see Cook used more traditionally. That will allow the plays on the edge to have a larger impact.

I liked that missing so many Dlineman Ed Oliver stepped up big. He was a force on the field with Milano. With the injuries on defense Im not going to expect the replacements to make the plays. The last few weeks im disappointed most with Jackson and Johnson. They are 2/5 of the starting secondary. I expect Benford, Elam, and Hamlin to get picked on. Cleveland and Detriot got numeros plays on both Jackson and Johnson. They seem to be treading water or struggling with there new primary roles. If White gets back to a majority snap count I rotate Benford and Elam in with Jackson.

Offense will be fine. My concern is defense. Without Edmunds the defense is very average. Lawson and Bashem starting at DE is troublesome. Dane Jackson is getting exploited like Levi Wallace used to. Problem with that he isnt playing across White its mainly rookies on the other side.

Seemed to be a guy they liked in training camp. If needed I feel like he could play snaps. Hopefully, Manc suggests Boettger is close to returning. I know the window is open but most have some optimism.

Hard to argue with what Mcdermott and Beane have built. Sean Payton is an excellent coach and turned the Aints into a Superbowl winning franchise. A one and done playoff run and this is a reasonable question to ask. Josh Allen and a #1 defense should result into more. I expect Mcdermott to turn it around this year and have a deep playoff run.

Vegas has more confidence in the Bills than alot of there fans lol. Buffalo blows out the Vikings. Cousins is going to have a Cousins game. A pick or 2 and a strip sack and they get rolled.

NFL players have a month of practice before playing real football. Wanting Tre to play after 2 weeks is short sided. We are approaching a month so it will be today or next week. The amount of people wanting him on field just for the sake of it makes no sense to me.

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.
