Now Jake, we don't need you to put out a contract on any opposing players
-
He has speed but has not been a great player. He drops balls and despite his speed has not especially been a deep receiver. It would take his some time to come in and learn the system and it is late in the year already. If he's available for a futures contract after the season, it might be worth signing him to a futures contract, but he's not going to help the Bills this season.

Nah, it's time for him to be looking into his second career, working in convenience stores.

Milano Klein and Edmunds can all cover. Having them healthy makes a big difference.
Will be tougher to run if we aren't in Nickel all game and I take my chances against mullen with the 3 of these guys blitzing as well.
As I think about it, it seems possible Buffalo could run a little more defense with three linebackers rather than nickel. Mullens finds it tough to complete a pass over 20 yards. Kittle's absence means covering the tight end is a reasonable task for a linebacker. On the other hand, Mostert is a speed back, but isn't all that physical as a runner. DBs may not be at a great disadvantage tackling him and being involved in run defense. The 49ers do make a lot of use of a fullback, and that might be a reason to lean toward using 3 LBs more.

I'm assuming all of this is also affected by your schedule. Sometimes you face blitz happy schemes. Sometimes not. For instance, if you face Gregg Williams you pretty much know he'll be blitzing all game long regardless of who he is facing.
Yeah, schedule is going to be a factor in that, but it still seems unusual.

Between the blitzing and Allen's propensity to hold on to the ball, there is a lot of pressure on the Bills' offensive line when it comes to pass blocking. I hope he sends them all some very nice Christmas gifts. Fortunately, Allen is both very tough and mobile.
What I really like about Allen is he is becoming a QB with no glaring weaknesses. He's good versus zone defense, he's good versus man defense. He evades pressure. He can run, both designed runs and scrambles. He can pas short and he can pass long. That lack of weaknesses makes it very hard for opposing defensive coordinators to scheme against him.

Link? Any further context to what was said?
I'm guessing the article was no more specific than what the OP said in the first post.

This is the second straight game with tons of late money going against Buffalo. The Chargers point spread shifted a bunch and a lot of people lost big betting LA.
So, people who bet against Buffalo last week are trying to make up their losses by going against Buffalo this week? Fools and their money are easily parted.
-
Mullens also happens to be a noodle armed QB. He's very ineffective at passes longer than 20 yards. That means QBs who lack deep speed (Levi Wallace, Josh Norman) are not nearly the liability they can be when facing a team like say Kansas City.

A good guy. Too bad things ended the way they did in Buffalo with fans calling for his head in his final season in Buffalo. Tyler Bass does look to be pretty awesome lately though.

Apparently Edmunds' early season deficiencies were injury related. I can see why the team didn't make that very public, but it would have been nice to know. The same has been true of Milano, though I think we were generally more aware of his injury issues this season. I also was not really aware of the fact that AJ Klein is primarily an middle linebacker. Playing out of position probably accounts for a lot of his struggles. If Leslie Frazier had done a better job of adjusting for that early, I might have thought more highly of Klein from the start. What I've said still is true, I think. Milano is more athletic and faster. Klein's strengths are rooted in football intelligence and experience, rather than athleticism. Milano has both, so he can do more things from his outside linebacker spot. With everybody healthy, the defense should be that much more effective down the stretch.

Why do the league and CBS think that those of us living in Rochester would rather watch Green Bay beat up on Philadelphia than watch the LA Chargers beat up on New England?

I'm not surprised that his play on the field has left something to be desired. He's played so little that when he does get on the field, he's rusty. The question is, how do you get him playing time without jeopardizing your team's chances of winning unless it's a blowout? We all know how often Buffalo's been involved in a blowout this season.

One of my big pet peeves are posters who can't discriminate between fact and opinion. Everybody has opinions, and opinions form the bulk of what we post. However, some persons confuse their opinions with truth, and imply that any opinions that are different reflect inferior intelligence. You're my friend if you can keep the difference between opinion and indisputable truth clear.

So did Gase have an explanation for why he failed to help Darnold improve?
-
Dupree might be better off to just plan on sitting out the 2021 season. He might be able to rehab and get on the field by the first half of the season, but he'd have to sign a contract with the team (whatever team it might be) having no guarantees about how effective he'll be or how quickly he can get on the field, Moreover it is a year when teams may be dealing with a reduced cap. If he signs a one year deal, he faces the risk of getting injured again without a long term deal. If he tries to sign a long term deal, it's going to be far less than his market value when healthy in a normal year. In 2022, he can be fully healthy when he works out for teams and his agent tries to negotiate a long term deal.

No one has really said it, but the one thing our wr core seems to be lacking is the bigger possession receiver that can be that security blanket. Bease ends up being that a lot out of the slot, and Kumerow's singing may end up being more for special teams. But I'd love for Josh to have that big target he can look to in the crunch.
I very much doubt he gets more than a handful of reps at WR during games, if that. The Bills seem to think Gabriel Davis meets the need for a big receiver. He's not real big, but he is big and athletic, and physically dominating.
-
The Bills have become so accustomed to being debilitated at linebacker, it may take a bit of adjustment to get back to where they are comfortable with what they can put on the field. LOL

I thought Dodson look pretty good out there were he played, I thought he was an upgrade over Klein, but Klein has looked really good the last couple of weeks.
Klein is smarter and more experienced. Dodson is faster and more athletic. There are situations where smart is more important and situations where speed and athleticism are more important. The burden is on the defensive staff to figure out how best to use them.

Cool. Presumably the Bills are making good use of analytics. One of the things Josh Allen usually does well is the QB sneak.
-
The really important players on the list right now in the Bills plan for this season are Milano and Brown. Dodson and Jackson could also be in their short term plans for depth. Cam Lewis has some ability, but Jackson seems like more of a playmaker. I don't think Hodgins is in the Bills plans for this season. He doesn't really replace a player like Brown, and the Bills otherwise have a lot of depth at WR.
-
Not at this point. Let him have a gig somewhere else and see what he can do as a DC not under Belichick's thumb.
-
How likely is it that Buffalo will again commit 3 turnovers in the space of less than 10 plays on offense? They did so yesterday and still won. To me, they never really looked like they were being threatened.
Yes, there are lots of things they need to clean up, but they got the win and nobody can take it away from their record now.

Bills QB Josh Allen was once brutally snubbed by an SF Giants player, and has never forgotten it

This is personal. I hope all of the Buffalo Bills know the story and hold the city of San Francisco and all of its sports teams personally responsible. It's time to show no mercy to these heartless barbarians.
