Wonder who the rich fella who bet 20k on the Jets +11.5 yesterday was? Made a nice 85k over the course of 3 hours. Not a bad job if you can swing it.

Belichick iw now something like 43-61 when Brady isnt his starting QB. No clue what happens Sunday as I dont think the Bills are world beaters but Kraft looks to have kept the wrong guy.

Fairburn is a tough listen. First and foremost his voice makes it sound like he just had 3 xanax before the podcast and secondly he cant get off the Josh Allen stuff. He actually drags Joe down a bit. Just no enthusiasm on that pod once so ever. The Locked on Pod is a good listen albeit a bit formulaic.

Small, average arm, oft injured and played with five first round wideouts in college. Thought he was the third best qb in his class. We will see but scared, no.

Thats the exact guy that came to mind for me as well.

His lawyer is up there in terms of bad people as well.

He's been even better this year than last year. Just catching everything thrown his way. He is easily one of my favorite players on the team.

I think you meant offense.

Agree. They need almost a complete reset on defense. They are old, and need to inject some life back into the unit. Poyer is still a very good in the box safety, so he may survive, but both he and Hyde are struggling in coverage.

Well lets hope they smack it out of them, because unless you're skier there isnt a whole hell of a lot to do on Sundays in Western NY when its 30 degrees and lower.

The are incredibly old on defense. They dont play with any enthusiasm, and its looked to have impacted the offense as well.

Going to be honest, I am very worried about the game. The Jets are healthy, are at home, and the Bills have injuries to major players on all levels of their team. The likelihood the Jets go 0-16 is low, and the Bills have looked flat the last few weeks.

I dont think its really a Williams vs Oliver thing. Oliver was better last year, Williams has been better this year. There is some mumbling about Oliver playing injured, so who knows. What it comes down to is if you can get Williams on his rookie deal why not. They both are talented players. If you can rotate them, and then determine which you want to keep I'd say go for it.

Always do a Go Bills and sometimes even go in for the high five. The only time I think twice about it is when its a female without a male companion. Feels kind of odd in that situation.

A couple things on this. A) Watt is not washed up. He is older yes, but he is still a good player who can get you more in the way of pass rush and run stopping than anyone else we have on the dline. He can also kick inside and probably also be the best defensive tackle option we have right now as well. B). The Bills dont currently have the cap to sign Watt, but if you send Jerry Hughes and a 2nd to the Texans you may be able to get under the cap. Bottom line on this is how much the Bills expect to be in the AFC Title hunt at the end of the year. If they are serious about it they will try something like this. If not, then they probably get one home game and either lose in the wild card or second round. So we should already be in the mix. Because Josh is a top ten QB in the league, and the wideouts are excellent.

The rich get richer.

I dont disagree there. Not having Milano has been a real detriment to the entire defense, including Edmunds. Dodson gets a lot of love for being athletic, but he is poor in coverage and misses way too many tackles. Klein is in the same boat, he cant cover to save his life and misses close to 20% of his tackles, double what is considered horrible by NFL Standards. So in that respect you are right, Edmunds is probably pressing. Milano and Edmunds complement one another extremely well. Milano is fantastic in coverage, and Edmunds is better against the run. Hopefully when they are both together again and healthy they both return to form.

Edmunds isnt the only problem, but he is part of the problem. Currently he is near the bottom of his position in both production and on field play, and even last year when he made the "pro-bowl" he wasnt a nuanced difference maker. Slice it anyway you like it, but when you're a first round draft pick with high expectations guys like John Bostic and B.J. Goodson shouldnt be outproducing or outplaying you.

You'll get no argument from me there. Not a very good stable of players at that position.

Yes, Rich it was the two weeks off...

Nothing screams we arent trying to win more than not having a name.

He caught a TD last week. Not for nothing, if this year ends how it is trending now Jason Croom will have had the 2nd best season from a Bills tight end in the last three years and Knox wasnt that much better last year. Woof.

Wyatt Teller is playing at an All Pro level right now, so that could be said for almost any team. I get we are the team who traded him, but it's not like Morse, Dawkins, and Williams are having bad years, and Felciano hasnt played a down. Therefore, I dont see the point in pointing that out.

I see what you mean in terms of arm strength and size, but the style of play and athleticism is completely different. Bledsoe was an interception machine his first few years in the league. I also see what people are saying in terms of Favre, the arm, and the sandlot routine, but again interceptions. For all the bad Josh can bring to the table he limits his bad decision making. The only two guys that come to mind when I think of comparisons for Josh are Carson Wentz and Cam Newton. In fact, I think those two players combined are essentially Josh Allen. People are down on Wentz, and I think its apt, but prior to the knee injury he was well on his way to being elite. If you look at what Newton did in his first three years in the league he is almost identical with Josh.

Got slammed for this earlier in the year, but the Texans playoff game should have been his last in a Bills uniform. They need some nastiness on this team, they also need a wake up call. Will be glad to see Feliciano back. Hopefully this clears cap space for a RB, TE or Edge Rusher.
