    Let’s be honest, the people who keep bringing up Beasley are the epitome of just wanting to argue. They are the same people who if the Bills had kept Beasley would be complaining that he’s hurt, he’s not getting enough yards, he’s taking away snaps from McKenzie/Shakir…they’re very predictable 

    I’m sure that’s what “they” are after. 🙄🙄
     

    It has nothing to do with a lack of decent slot play since he left. 
     

    I get it, you’re a hater. 👍
     

    Just silly to have such strong personal feelings associated with a retired ex-player and the fans who expected OBD to have a plan for slot once he left.

  2. Just rewatched the game and on that safety “drive” it wasn’t just the safety. 
     

    On 1st down he blew up a run for a large loss, otherwise, they wouldn’t have been in the position to make a tackle for a safety. 
     

    Oliver essentially ended that drive by himself (as much as one can in football). 
     

    But even taking it one play prior, the reason the Lions had the ball was because of another JA Red Zone INT. 

     

    The Lions had the momentum and Oliver snuffed it out. Yes, the O ended up punting, but the Lions lost all the momentum they had with that INT. 

     

    It was a dominant series of plays for Oliver that absolutely should’ve earned him a leg on its own IMO.

    I would add that we are not getting the production from McKenzie, that we got from our former slot receiver who I shall not name due to the political leanings of this board.  Either it is the play calling or simply McKenzie can't get open in the slot not sure which is the cause. 

    Beasley, his skills and relationship with QB1 are sorely missed. 
     

    That said, he doesn’t have those skills anymore and has since retired. But we really should find a true replacement as he was the engine that drove our O when he was balling out.

    Because Edmunds would've held in check all those big plays the DBs gave up in the second half? Like I said, I don’t want to see the likes of you criticizing Edmunds when he gives up plays. No wishy washiness allowed.

    I think what I’m learning is that having him in the middle allows our average/backup secondary cheat a bit on the edges, making them more effective overall as a unit. 
     

    It’s taken me a bit to get here as I’ve been pretty hard on TE during his time in BUF but I can see a marked difference when he’s not on the field.

    Found this on Twitter today, it's the final throw of the game from Allen's perspective.  

     

    The decision looked good, the pass looked late and off target. 

     

     


    Actually, to me it looks like #54 read the play perfectly and settled into the passing window. 
     

    JA notices and double clutches. You can see #54 jumping, assuming JA was going to throw into the 1st window. The throw goes right behind him, but the DB had the inside angle. 
     

    To me, this was a telegraphed play by the Bills that the Vikes were expecting and ready for. They knew this pass was coming. 
     

    IMO the play call was the problem and not going to the 2nd/3rd reads sealed the deal.

    The series that confirmed to me that Dorsey ain't it. Sorry, but a proper OC would never call something like that with two yards to go. Power sweep with Cook or even Josh gets it. 

    Or even that Stampede play we do where we pull a bunch of linemen and Josh runs a sweep.  

     

    I don't think it's ever been completely stopped...

  7. I don’t know. I’m very glad that the new stadium process is progressing but man what a let down/meh. 
     

    That’s a stadium designed for the drought 7-9 Bills IMO. Not the dynamic, SB Contending team we are today. Examples:

     

     - Opened air vs domed. The drought Bills needed harsh weather conditions to keep visiting dynamic O’s under control. Now WE have the dynamic O and the weather now impedes us. 

     

     - The tiny scoreboard. That’s great when you’d rather not think about the score because your team struggles to put drives together. But when every drives seems to lead to points, you want that score large and in charge!
     

    - Small, in the corner “large-tron”. Again, more suited for a team you’d really rather not watch replays of (once was usually enough). Now, over and over, I want to see just HOW HIGH did Josh jump! Give me what LA and DAL have!

     

    - Bland exterior/generic interior. More for the “see NFL we met the new minimum stadium standard” drought era Bills vs the “Come watch an amazing show” current Bills. 
     

    This seems to be the sensible, sedan-like stadium of the last era of Bills football. I want the 2 seater, 1 gallon / mile Racecar to go with our Racecar team!

     

    But as a sedan driver, it’s easy to say when you’re not paying the Bills! 😅😅

    This exactly.  The offense is doing great.  The team is winning.

    That is all that matters.

     

    Film is showing that Dawson Knox is being used way more as a blocker this year.  

    His lack of production is not due to poor play, injuries or mental issues involving his brother.

     

    At some point, defenses are likely to adjust to what the Bills are doing.  That is when Ken Dorsey can switch things up, and start using the Tight End more in the passing game.  It's great to have something we can pivot to.

     

    Exactly! The O scheme is like a developing story or a script, that plays out game to game. In order for the last part to work, all the previous parts have to be played out. 
     

    You can’t break tendencies until after you develop them. 

     

    For instance, in ‘20 Beas/Davis combo route was unstoppable, but by the playoffs, Beas was worn out and it wasn’t available when we needed it. In ‘21, they held that package until the playoffs, only breaking it out when they really needed a drive. (Whenever a drive started with a Beas catch, we always scored). 
     

    In previous drought years, we only had MAYBE 1 good package. At times, we’d start out fast but always fade down the stretch as Ds figured us out and we had no talent/packages to pivot to. 

     
    Thanks for bringing that point up!

     

    GO BILLS!

    I feel bad for her

     

    Smith failed a test last November. He said he has no idea why or what caused his estrogen level to rise beyond the allowed limits.

     

    Can you imagine the fun this board would have with this news if it were Brady!  Thread would go beyond 100 pages.

     

    Have to say, not sure I see where the competitive advantage is to the player on this one.


    Totally guessing here but the higher estrogen levels may indicate the use of some other substance that doesn’t necessarily show up on tests. 
     

    Like an indicator or precursor? 🤷‍♂️
