We came into the year with Milano, TB, Williams, Spector, Ulofoshio, Andreeson and Morrow. I can’t really fault him.. He’s doing what I think we should do - Draft an athletic LB in the middle rounds every year and keep developing depth that can eventually take over if we lose a guy. I think we’re fine with Williams and Spector until Bernard comes back.. especially if we go heavy dime most games - but if one of them goes down, we’re going really deep into the depth.

How do Von’s incentives work? We would have to pay those out on next years cap, right? I think we save 8Mish if we move off of him next year. Although the way he’s playing, it probably makes more sense to keep him if he continues this.. even if only as a situational pass rusher.

I think they’re a good, not great team. They’re going to struggle with any team who has strong OL/DL trench play. Turns out you’ve got to neglect somewhere if you want to pay for some flashy objects.. they chose the OL and interior DL to hang out to dry. Hoping Tua’s quick release & a fast timing offense offsets the need for strong OL play .. and hoping they get up on teams and can just let Phillips, Robinson and eventually Chubb rush.

Lmaooooo wow

I honestly can’t stop watching this..

Tyreek down the field with Kupp underneath would be disgusting. I think he makes sense for a lot of teams to send them a 2nd Rounder ala Diggs. Still an elite player and unless he starts getting hurt, I think he’s got at least this year and next year at an elite level.

Bills have been really high on Smoot. Hopefully we can get him back against his former team next Monday Night and have a legit 4 man rotation on the edge. A lot of us were hoping to get 75% of Von pre-injury… He’s looking more and more like we may get at least 90%. I found myself watching him off the edge like I did that short stint when we first got him.. Legitimately thinking he can smoke the Tackle every time.

Checking X and a lot of people around the Chiefs think he won’t play this year at all.

I think the Bills should just stock up on fast/athletic linebackers and developmental corners every draft. Day 2 & Day 3 type picks. I think they have a specific prototype and if you fit that, they can coach you up to be successful. Spector is a great fit for this defense and I think he’s going to play well. Only issue with him is staying healthy. (Shocker) *That Bernard picture is extremely uplifting.. hopefully he’s only out a few weeks.

Agree - The strength of this Defense, given the injuries, is very clearly top tier cornerback play and a strong defensive line. Just have to make it work at linebacker and safety. Would love to see if Bishop can push for a bigger role during this semi-bye.

Bills Conerbacks: Douglas Benford Ingram Elam Johnson Lewis Legitimately two deep at each position If/when we get our Safety situation sorted out, this Secondary could be something else. Hamlin & Rapp look solid through two games, we know Edwards is a dependable player from his time in KC and Bishop showed off some serious athleticism at the end of the game breaking up that corner end zone pass.

The thing with Cook has always been that he has WR skills as a RB. In the CMC, Kamara mold. He’s starting to show that.. Thats the type of RB that you, at least, give thought to extending. Especially given he barely had any usage in college. Im not saying we should.. but if he keeps this up, you’ve got to think about it.

Cam Lewis making it so the coaches need to figure out a way to keep him on the field.

Some of it is bad luck.. Also, you can get really talented linebackers in RD3 & RD5 for a myriad of reasons… The position is devalued and the player is raw (Dorian Williams). Or.. because they’re undersized (Terrel Bernard & Matt Milano) Undersized players are always going to be a bigger injury risk. Taron Johnson falls into that category as well. If the Bills want to keep going this route with the Defense, they’d be wise to draft a mid-round linebacker, like they do Day 3 corners, every year. Keep a deep stable of young guys ready to fill in. I thought Williams & Spector looked really good out there. Problem now is, who’s behind them. The other injuries just happen.. it is what it is. Daquan, Von, Rousseau in past years. We don’t even typically play heavy usage on the DL.

This is exactly what I thought.. going to have both Bernard & Milano coming back with two games left in the season. (hopefully Bernard’s isn’t that severe, but we’re also the Bills and he plays defense, so….)

These first down runs have got to stop.

Schopp & the Bulldog actually making a great point right now.. Vivid Seats estimates 44% of tickets sold to Bills fans based on zip code analysis. Given how many Bills fans live in driving distance, Bills fans should easily be the majority in that stadium tonight.

I actually don’t think his “eating the cats” comments were crazy anymore. I don’t know if he meant for it to be a 4D chess move, because I’m not willing to give him that much credit.. but it’s working out that way. Normies now are hearing about a small town of 60k in Ohio that had 20k Haitian migrants dumped on it and if you look it up there’s stories from citizens all over of pets missing, ducks being taken and a decapitated pigs head in a park. It’s in the mainstream consciousness now. Run of the mill illegal migrant rhetoric wouldn’t have done what those comments did.

Trump may have sounded unhinged talking about “they’re eating their pets”, but he injected this story into the mainstream consciousness.. Even has Marianne Williamson backing him up on it today..

Eh.. you underestimate how much he resonates with a certain segment of young people. We’re a Kamala Harris Presidency away from young people potentially driving the far right movement like we’re seeing in Nordic countries. (If she continues the economic & border policies that we’ve had for 3 years). Keep your eyes on fraternities and sororities around the country… they no longer care about being openly known conservative.

Agreed. It’s basically a football game for people who care about politics. You root for Kamala. I root for Trump. We both watched the debate. Trump kept fumbling and missing opportunities to score. Harris didn’t do much, but was able to capitalize on Trump’s mistakes and home field advantage. Kamala wins. Nothing changes. We all move on. We’re far too polarized of a society for these debates to mean a ton anymore. The only people who matter are the sliver of undecideds in seven states. That’s it. The rest of us.. it’s just about getting us excited about our team.

Conventional wisdom doesn’t matter with Trump. It’s insane. We watch a debate, think he lost. Nobody cares. Focus groups show people leaning more to him now after that. His clips dominate social media. The viral Gen Z TikTok trend right now is people dancing to an EDM edit of “they’re eating the cats” and making jokes about Haitian migrants in Springfield.

I know it’s not a must win for the season, but in terms of my outlook for the season… a win would make me view us as a legit contender, whereas currently .. I’m just not sure yet.

It’s not even so much being a role model.. Its that, despite the lavish lifestyle, more women than not now relate to a 34 year old woman who’s never been married, has no kids and thinks every man she’s dated in the past is toxic. I don’t dislike her. And this isn’t meant as a dig.. But her fanbase isn’t just 13 year olds, she’s huge with 20, 30, 40 something year old women .. and just an honest fact, they identify with her because in their romantic lives.. they are her.
