  1. Love it..  McKenzie has already been way more impressive in this offense than I thought he would be.  He has a defined role and does it well.  Davis obviously looks legit and warrants playing time.  They are also physical players for WR, so you can still run out of those formations.  

     

    As mentioned above, if our offense can figure out how to do anything in the 3rd quarter, we could be looking at an offense that can outscore anyone in the NFL.

    I think Byron Jones going out early and Xavien Howard being hobbled hurts them. When those two are fully healthy that looks a good corner combo. Asking the rookie from Auburn to cover Diggs in man once Jones went out was a complete mismatch. I like Flores but I think I said on Diggs first or second catch in the game thread that if they tried that all day he would eat. He ate. Enough to get a lockdown belly in fact.

     

    Think they still have a problem on the offensive line but I liked Solomon Kindley's game on Sunday. I thought he was the best long term bet of the three olinemen they took relatively early in the draft. He still has some work to do as a pass blocker, but I thought he got some movement for them in the run game.

     

    Should say on Knox's second "mistake" I think that was a heck of a play by the DB keeping his hand in there and ripping the ball out. He has to do a better job on the fumble though, no question. His ceiling is still very high.

     

    Yea, that "drop" was more a great play by the defender than it was Knox not completing the catch.   

     

    Knox is certainly an enigma right now, but his speed and athleticism are undeniable.  I'm still high on the guy and think we should definitely work in more routes like the one he fumbled on... get him in open space and let him rumble.

    I’d still much rather watch a canned performance by The Killers than listen to any football analysis of the first half by these jokers. 


    I remember when Suzy Kolber introduced a pre-recorded halftime performance from Bad Bunny, and everyone was like stoppppp. 
     

    Some genius decided we need to bring it back apparently. 

  4. Also, we can say, “look what Fitz and the Dolphins did to our defense...imagine what Goff and the Rams will do if Edmunds and Milano are out”.. but Fitz was ON POINT.  Gesicki was making one handed stab catches.   Parker and Williams were beasting on Levi and one of them even smoked Tre deep.   
     

    Our defense was trash but the other team still had to execute and the Dolphins did.

    I predict a loss this Sunday.

    The Bills are good, and I believe they will make the playoffs, but this is not a good matchup.

    Cooper Kupp and Tyler Higbee are gonna have monster games if Edmunds and Milano aren't back. Aditionally, the Rams have a killer play-action game, which further highlights the linebacker/middle of the field deficiencies the Bills are currently experiencing.

    If the stadium was packed with Bills fans, it might be a different story. On what is essentially a level playing field, though? I expect a high scoring shootout and a loss for the Bills. Something like 34-27 Rams.

    It's fine. If you're going to lose, it's always best to lose to NFC opponents. The swing of tough AFC opponents coming up after the Rams game is much more important. Hopefully Milano and Edmunds are back for that.

     

    I think a lot of us are conditioned to predict this until the Bills prove us otherwise against, perceived, good teams.

    Hopefully Edmunds and Milano get healthy enough to play.  I am more hopeful for Edmonds though cause the bills go conservative on hammys.  

     

    Given it's an NFC game, and we definitely are conservative with hamstring injuries, i'd agree.  Edmunds practiced non-contact last week..  I think he plays Sunday but no Milano.

    Aaron Donald and Jalen Ramsey are problems for us.. their offense is also deadly.. they have Super Bowl experience as well.. I have an extremely healthy amount of respect for McVay.. this will be a tough game for Allen.. not saying we won’t win, not saying Allen will struggle but this is going to be a violent game to the end..


    Oh, I agree.  This is a game we need to win if we want people to respect us beyond, eh, they’re an “up and coming team”.  
     

    The Rams look filthy through 2 weeks.  
     

    Diggs vs Ramsey will be fun, but who is going to cover Brown and Beasley?   
     

    Aaron Donald is just a guy you have to accept will wreck some plays.  Have to mitigate his effect as best we can.  He comes up the middle though, so hopefully Allen can evade any pressure he brings and get out on the move.  
     

    On defense, we just played “good Fitz” with Parker and Gesicki, in 90 degree heat/humidity.  Hopefully our defense learned their lessons if Edmunds/Milano can’t go, because Goff, Woods, Kupp and Higbee are a better version of that.  
     

    I just don’t think we need Edmunds/Milano to “have a chance” is all.   I still think McDermott/Frazier and the Defense can fix some stuff from the Dolphins game.

    Truly need all three sides of the ball to play very well to beat the Rams...the game may come down to a FG..need Edmunds and Milano to be healthy if we are to ever stand a chance.. Goff doesn’t scare me too much but McVay is a genius game planner and offensive minded HC.. Bills have the better team but the Rams have more experience.. need a dominant performance by our defense and Allen... our team as a whole needs to limit their mistakes, can’t afford penalties.... every yard and inch will matter against the Rams...this will be a very difficult game for Buffalo... chess match through and through... Bills win 24-21


    We don’t need them healthy “to stand a chance”.  At least, I hope not... 
     

    The Rams D has a couple studs and a bunch of fluff. We should be able to score on them.  ....and if our offense is truly legit, we should be able to score on anyone.  
     

    On defense, even without Edmunds/Milano, I trust McDermott, Frazier and the Defense to redeem themselves.    I’m sure they are not happy, at all, about how that side of the ball played yesterday.

  9. Definitely did not come away from this game thinking we need more pass rushers.  DL was fine. 
     

    Fitz was good Fitz. We all should’ve seen it coming after he threw for 3 picks against NE.   He got the ball out FAST.... and abused Levi and our two missing pro-bowl linebackers.

    Regardless of the outcome today, I agree with you.  They got up a couple scores and they tried to shut it down in the 3rd quarter.  They completely got away from everything that had worked in the first half, and then worked again in the 4th quarter, and tried to grind out the game.  The current NFL isn't set up to function that way and fortunately they snapped out of it and went back to what was working for them earlier after they yakked up the lead in the game.  Whether McD and Daboll like it or not you have to keep the hammer down and keep scoring points.  It's a mindset thing and they need to improve their killer instinct, from the coaching staff on down.  If you can bury someone, you need to bury someone.  It's not good enough to try to run out the clock. Hopefully a lesson was learned today. 


    I thought against the Jets we did that.  Not against the Dolphins.  
     

    For how insanely good Allen was, he was terrible in the 3rd Quarter. 
     

    Missed Diggs on a wide open underneath route that forced us to punt on Drive 1 and then almost threw a pick six when he didn’t see Van Noy drop into coverage on Drive 2.  
     

    That was it for the quarter.  Two drives.  Two punts.

    They had to go for points today because the D couldn't get the job done. I doubt that is the way McDermott wants to win.... but it was the way we HAD to win today and we got the job done. Excellent.


    Spot on.  
     

    If our defense wasn’t banged up and looking like trash that entire second half, maybe we try to run the clock out, maybe not.   
     

    McDermott knew he needed the offense to seal the game.   Finally, we have an offense that can do that.   
     

    Here’s to hoping that’s just who we are now, because even if the defense was playing up to it’s standards, our offense has proven they deserve to be a unit who is trusted to dagger opponents.

    As much as id like it we may be in line to give both Milano and Allen huge extensions at some point. 

     

    It would be smarter to draft a TE in 1st round if we want an elite talent there. That way they would be on a rookie deal


    This.. trading for Ertz means we give up draft capital AND lose Milano.   Highly doubtful we can give Ertz a new contract and keep Milano.  
     

    There’s some filthy tight ends in the draft if we end up feeling the need to upgrade over/add to Knox.   
     

    Brevin Jordan and Kyle Pitts immediately come to mind.
