No way can I give this defense any higher than a C grade. Gave up 21 points to a running team that plays every game trying to limit possessions. Not terrible, not good either. Every red zone opportunity ended in a TD. Converted an absurd amount of 4th downs. One (impactful) turnover, which was a great play. Average game from this Defense. C grade.

Diggs, McKenzie, Davis, Stevenson, Hodgins and a Top 100 draft pick at WR is what I'd love to see next year. Perfect blend of experience in Diggs/McKenzie, a guy about to enter his prime years in Davis and young talent in Stevenson, Hodgins and a high draft pick.

I'd dress him if anything is on the line against the Jets, but I would certainly limit his snaps with Davis back.

This is what we said about Indy and Baltimore last year… and we got Indy and Baltimore ha.

Due to Beasley’s age (and cap constraints), I think you’ve got to move on after the season and sign McKenzie to a multi-year deal. Very different players, but both play the same position. I love Cole, and what he’s meant to this team, and Josh Allen’s development.. but McKenzie is younger and has some serious dynamic ability in our offense.

Good on Cole for standing up for his bodily autonomy. Good player. Good guy. Also, McKenzie needs to be locked up on a multi-year contract to be the slot of the future.

I like his skill set with his size, hands and catch radius out of the slot. Very intriguing player.

Getting Dawkins back has completely changed my energy for this game. Missing Davis and Beasley isn’t ideal, but we still have a strong WR trio with Sanders and McKenzie replacing them. We just need to make sure Josh isn’t under siege all game and allow him to give us a potential Josh Allen MVP caliber game. I don’t expect Dawkins to be 100%, but if he’s able to play at a solid level, that settles our OL down a ton, and should give Josh that chance.

Horrible non-call

Yea, not like we have two way more important guys out who had similar doctors. It’s incredibly rare for a guy to come back as quick as he has. Look around the league, it just does not happen. Very strange.

Hilariously expected for Bourne to come back while we’re decimated with even our vaxxed guys missing, now, multiple games.

I’d agree that this has been a tough season to be excited about, so far. We’ve had a handful of tough opponents, and everyone else (Jax aside) we’ve been expected to destroy, and have. I guess that’s part of what it feels like to be a good team. Then throw in two high profile games where we lost on a self inflicted wound (Ten) and a horrible non-call (TB). It’s just felt frustrating, tedious and/or boring. This Pats game is needed in the worst way.

Not much of a difference when vaxxed players are still missing 1-2 games. Cole likely only misses one game. It’s more about timing.

Why does it matter? Vaxxed players are missing multiple games as well… just depends when they test positive. If Gabe tested positive when Cole did, your argument is nonexistent.

I’m fine with Diggs - Sanders - McKenzie - Knox.. More worried about our OL that we hoped would get better this week, and somehow got worse.

Some fans just seem to somehow ignore that every team in the league is dealing with this, most players vaccinated, and everyone is still missing 1-2 games.

Doesn’t really seem to matter anymore. Just depends when the positive test occurs. Most players, regardless, are missing 1-2 games.

Watch NE get their guys back while we wake up Sunday with our starting LT, starting LG, backup G, starting Slot and #2 WR out out with covid.

Titans are gritty. I’ll give them that. Tannehill is very average, but he does make a few big plays per game. Very beatable, but not an easy out.

AJ Brown vs Deebo Samuel apparently

Sanders being back, and healthy, would be huge. Pats will put Duggar on Knox. Then JC Jackson on either Diggs or Davis, then bracket the other with double coverage. That’s what Belichick has been doing much of the year. Having a 4th reliable option, whether that RB/Running Game or talent in the slot is a huge help.

When we suggest running the ball more, we mean slightly more. Still want a heavy pass offense, especially given the weather should be good this time around. Moss, to me, simply makes sense if we’re down both Sanders/Beasley and Dawkins. He’s a good pass protector, which we may need if y’all can focus on Diggs/Davis/Knox and we have to play a rookie RT at LT again.

I’d be ok with Moss active, especially if Sanders is out with Beasley. Pats can be run on, and Moss is also good in pass pro/pass catching. Something to think about if Dawkins is out again.

There are professional athletes that allege that they’ve had side effects from the vaccine.

People outside Buffalo think Cole Beasley is way more important to us than he is. He’s also an extremely well known public figure. Dude is still trending on Twitter today. Wouldn’t shock me that his news moved casual bettors.
