Joe Cribbs era! "Ground Chuck" Knox. Bermuda triangle. Phil Vilipiano! Conrad Dobler! Smerlas/Haslett! Isiah! Fond memories of college days!

Landry is in slot primarily so not matched up on Levi

I believe you are correct on both points. Bills scored.less than 20 pts in 10 games and went 6-4 in those. Top 10 in scoring offense and defense that year. The stats for both reflect first 8 games of respective season.

I am not sure where Raiders played him (3T?) but was a 5T DE on the Strong side for Chargers. Quote from Raiders site when they signed him Raiders coach Jon Gruden agrees, saying, “Liuget is a legitimate 3-technique and can also be a penetrator as a nose … he gives us another veteran player with inside pass-rush ability. We are thrilled to have him,” according to the Raiders’ official website.

Interesting note that in back half of year, 1993 Bills were 5-3 and Jim only threw 5 TDs against 10 INTs in those last 8 games.

Sportsline agrees with the premise Bills are overrated. So check these out https://www.sportsline.com/insiders/sportsline-nfl-futures-simulations-have-little-love-for-the-6-2-buffalo-bills/ excerpt from above link Buffalo might be a bit of a fraud as its wins are over the New York Jets, New York Giants, Cincinnati, Tennessee, Miami and Washington – the Titans are OK but those other teams are truly horrible. The Bills have played two good teams in the Patriots and Eagles and lost both. Buffalo is in Cleveland this Sunday and is a 2.5-point underdog on the NFL odds to a 2-6 team on a four-game losing streak. The Browns are down to a 6.3 percent chance of making the playoffs and it's only that high because the team has a very easy schedule left. https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1gongCYLPJVjeGTj33E8Jiedw5ER7tj6sUn32Dg9rCvw/edit#gid=1615202201 They have Bills at 20th ranked team in power rankings and only 71% chance of making playoffs in their simulation summary for entire season. They also have Bills coming in at 9.9 wins - same as Texans.

The Browns are victims of their player generated hype machine. ImaBe.... not so fast lads! Too many TV ads, Hard Knocks exposure has led to the players seemingly pandering to media first, team second. Kitchens had his chance to quash it and didn't so now he deals with backlash of such a culture

These two dudes were studs in first Bills game.

Lol. Can’t cover or tackle. And his lack of position soundness means he couldn’t offer any insights into Brownies playbook.

Well done Shaw66 as usual. Heard on radio today Bills went with 8 men in box exclusively in 2nd half to stop AP. Not sure that will be an option vs Dallas, Pats or Ravens. Those offenses and QBs could take advantage of play action and get favorable matchups. Curious to get your your take on change in Run D from first to second half.

Not sure Landry will be lined up outside at all as he plays out of slot in most of their formations. Taron or Kevin Johnson, Marlowe or Neal will be asked to handle him in that case

Feliciano Ford and Spain are mean dudes too

Was 5th guard here as Feliciano, Spain, Long and Boettger were ahead of him on depth chart.

Teller getting 1st start with Browns today

So now that skins will play rookie QB will we be here SUN PM saying? "Bills should of let Haskins throw more to there WR core cuz it led to Bills loosing!" Starting to work on my TSW grammar.

Let's hope that Buffalo's unique nightlife mixture of Canadian ballet and 4 am last call will appeal to Josh!

good stuff here HBF! Interesting that 7/10 of the top passer rating teams are in top 10 of Power ratings and the Falcons, Raiders and Detroit are all .500 teams or worse. I believe that the Bills need to score 25 pts per game and hold opponents to under 18 ppg to make it to playoffs and be a factor in playoffs this year. Currently Bills average 19 ppg scored and are given up 17 ppg. The offense must improve dramatically and average at least one more TD per game on a go forward basis to have the ability to win each game handily. Josh Allen and Daboll have some work to do. The Offense is healthy now and has a full complement of parts so lets see what they can do to improve.

I believe this is 60 years ago

I want to note for the "can't complete the long bomb" crowd that this throw was completed. To a Bills Fan to boot!

Concise, analytical and logical. Hapless how did you get this on the board?

Interesting fact that they are 11-4 since Barkley vs Jets last year. 4 losses to Pats 2x, Jets and Fins are it since then. 2019 schedule has been favorable for sure but hey you can only beat who they schedule right? I noted in a post over offseason that if Bills could average 25 ppg scored and 18 ppg surrendered they would be on par with most AFC playoff teams last year. Bills are tracking on points surrendered (15.3) but need to average 28 ppg scored in last 10 games to reach 400 total pts scored in 2019 season. Should be noted that Bills scored that many (399) in Rex's last year. Some ST and D touchdowns mixed in with more production as Offense comes together should allow Bills to build a stronger point differential down the stretch. It all leads to winning!

The Backfield Judge.Brad Freeman's dad is current NFL official Steve Freeman, who played SS for the Bills from 1975-1986.

Danny: They didn't make plays like that when i coached 'em!

XFL or Lingerie League

That was the true turning point of game - huge momentum shift and disheartening for the Fins. Thanks to Tre and the offense waking up, instead of being up 21-9 Fins were now down 17-14! 15 point shift. Back breaker.
