Who was his QB? What team did he play for? Paint the whole picture please.
No but the great Jacksonville team did. I believe he was being led by future hall of framer Blake Bortles.
His QB doesn't block for him.
Over a 3 year span as their starter Bortles actually accounted 86TDs and 13,011 yards. More than enough production to take the heat off the running game.
The team also made an AFC Championship game (beating our Bills on the way.)
Paint the whole picture please.

Because the AFC standings are so close and jumbled this year I was thinking about which teams I'd fear the most in the playoffs. Here's my list:
1. Chiefs
Yea I know they're a bit off this season l, but it's Patrick Mahomes, Tyreek Hill and Kelce, enough said
2. Colts
It might be recency bias, but I think they're a tough match-up for us. Wentz is playing pretty well and I think Frank Reich is one of the better HC's. They might not even get in, and that's what I'm rooting for because I think they're good.
3. Bengals
Really good QB, excellent WR Corp, good RB, defense is good. Who the hell is covering JaMarr Chase. I think Burrow has what it takes to put together a magical playoff run.
4. Pats
Next week will tell us a lot, but as of now they are playing well. I think Mac is due for an "exposed" type game, but Bill B. @ HC is as good as it gets
5. Browns
They might not make it & many woud have the Ravens or Titans here instead, but I think the Browns have a similar recipe as the Colts in the way they can play. Bakers not playing well, but chances are he'll be a lot healthier come playoffs.
6. Titans
No Henry knocks them down some, but if they've got AJ Brown and Julio ready in the playoffs they're still a viable team.
7. Ravens
I'm lower on the Ravens than most. I think McDermott's proven he's got a nice defensive formula vs. Lamar. I dont think Lamar has what it takes as a passer to make a deep playoff run. If the Bills dont take credit of business & get in the dance I've got a gut feeling we are going to play them and I welcome it.
8. Raiders
Meh. Not good, not bad.
9. Chargers
Seems like they should be higher, but something is off with this team. They're like the anti Pats. Have all the name cache, but lose way too often
10. Steelers
Probably won't get in, but we have seen what their D is capable of when healthy.
11. Broncos
Teddy Bridgewater in the playoffs? Sign me up, Id love that matchup
It's a strange year because in my eyes there's not a huge gap between 2 though 7. The chiefs are comfortably by #1 most feared opponent, but after that it's kinda like pick your flavor.......
Where am I wrong?
I don't fear any team. But I do respect the difficulties they would have in the post season against any of them. I think this year the Bills could beat anyone in front of them. I also believe they could lose to any team. Pros/coms listed for each team.
1. Chiefs:
Pro: We have shown an ability to beat them and are one of the few teams that could match then point for point. Andy Reid is (despite winning a SB) very prone to post season failure.
Con: they have a multitude of weapons and have Super Bowl/big game experience.
2. Colts:
Pro: REVENGE. You think after the absolute punch in the mouth they gave us this team wouldn't be pumped for a rematch? I would be. Wentz is their QB and Reich is a good coach that tends to gamble a bit...sometimes it blows up in his face.
Con: Jonathan Taylor would likely be playing.
3. Bengals:
Pro: While talented they still seem a year off from being a serious contender. Their defense is average.
Con: Burrow is far better than I thought he would be. Mixon and Chase are also dangerous in that offense.
4. Pats:
Pro: Rookie QB in the post season...I'll take that matchup any time. I think McD and Frazier can throw enough at him to confuse and force some mistakes.
Con: Strong running game (Stevenson would have looked great in a Bills uni) and solid defense. McDaniels always has a solid game plan.
5. Browns:
Pro: Lack of talent at WR. Defense is good but prone to meltdowns.
Con: Possibly the worst matchup the Bills may see. 2 really good RBs (3 if you count Johnson). Physical and talented offensive line and a fact tough defense.
6. Titans:
Pro: we already know we can hang with a healthy Tennessee team. Didn't get the luxury of playing them without Henry/Jones/Brown. Tannehill is trash.
Cons: Brown and Jones are healing and Henry is expected back for the playoffs. Henry getting hurt I believe actually HELPS the Tacks come postseason as he will be fresh and healthy imstead of over used for a full 17 game schedule.
7. Ravens:
Pro: Mistake prone. Sloppy play. Outside of Lamar they have nothing to worry about it RB. Defense is very unRaven like this year. Their luck will run out soon.
Cons: They just keep finding ways to win. Record setting FG against Detroit. Missing Lamar and Hollywood Brown? Still a win somehow.
8. Raiders/Chargers/Steelers/Broncos:
Pro: All are extremely inconsistent. None are really "playoff teams" but 1 of them may make the post season due to the expanded playoffs.
Cons: Cinderella gets lucky sometimes.

TB has also invested in the oline in both draft and free agency.
You don't say????
2 minutes ago, newcam2012 said:That would help for sure.
Fournette has been very good for Tampa not only today. He was very good in the playoffs and super bowl.
And here in Buffalo with our oline he would look more like the Fournette in Jacksonville.
Fix the line and Motor would look much more competitent

Titans practice squad RBs are better than Moss and Singletary. Hopefully we make an effort to upgrade next year.
I'd say the truth is more "The Titans have a much better offensive line", however I agree....hoping to see an upgrade at RB next year. Wonder how the rumored pick of ETN would have done for the Bills if he stayed healthy.

I'm LOVING this game. Let Jones stack those stats. They will be the talk of the NFL all week. Belichick's rings will be kissed...Jones is the next Brady talk on overdrive...Pats are the team to beat talk....won SIX in a row....then we rip their damn soul out on MNF.
All while seeing the Titans drop out of the #1 seed.

I'm usually with that line of thinking but am not in the age of Covid. Let's say Allen, Diggs, and Knox catch Covid before Monday night and we lose to the Pats by three. We know full well we would've won with those three in there. Now we'd have to win out to win our division in all likelihood out of pure misfortune.
Valid point, but using the same logic Jones, Judon and 3/5ths of the Patriots oline may have COVID instead. Maybe Brady and his WRs catch it before our game with them. Total crapshoot.
However I actually think with a good game plan, a week to prep and a dash of good fortune...Trubisky could beat these Pats.

I mean, we'll have to disagree on this.
I want to win this division again. I don't want NE tied w/ us after today.
Season doesn't end today. Pats winning today doesn't make it any more of a task. Still have to beat them head to head twice to cement things.
Tennessee losing today puts the #1 seed back in play for us. With the injuries they could well drop another game or 2 as well.
Division is task 1. True. Bit have to handle that ourselvess and hope they 1 seed is still in option.

I think forgetting about No. 1 and focusing 100% on division title is the way to go.
I'm cheering for Titans today, but if key players on both sides go down, no complaints.
Why? Lack of faith? Get Tennessee that 4th loss. Then control what you can by beating NE Monday. Those 2 things happen and Buffalo controls their destiny for the most part. Baltimore is quietly in yhe 1 seed mix but their schedule is incredibly difficult.

Keys against the Patriots:
1) Tackling, tackling, tackling.
2) Tackling, tackling, tackling.
3) Don't be afraid to kick field goals, and don't miss them.
4) No stupid penalties or turnovers.
5) Tackling, tackling, tackling.
6) Hope Judon has a severe case of the runs next Monday

lol at the Mac Jones hype
Jones lives in that short ball. Edmunds is terrific at coverage in those zones. Edmunds is gonna eat next Monday.

For those wondering who to root for as far as the Titans/Patsies game goes this Gelber kid lies it out well...
These are odds based off the NYT for the 1 seed and the division...I'll personally be pulling for Patriots injuries with a three to five month recovery time.Nope. Don't like Gelber's way of thinking. At all. Defeatist mentality.
Rooting for the Pats today. With Henry, Julio and now Brown on IR they could very well free fall a bit. Not outside the possibliity they drop a few games between now and then. 1 seed is still in play.
We have 2 games head to head with New England. Handle division buisness then. Sweep those 2 games and beat the Panthers, Falcons and Jets and even a loss to Tampa puts us in the mix for the 1 seed as long as the Titans drop today. They still have Pittsburgh and San Fran and being banged up gives those teams a shot at the win.

The most hostile place he has played in… in the NFL. Trust me the kids from Alabama he seen more hostile crowds. Again the Pats will RUN the ball a lot.. 2nd and 15 assume pass .. Stevenson gets the ball..
I actually like Stevenson. Kid runs well. As far as the Pats running...their 2 main backs seem to be banged up. And they are heading into what should be a very physical game with the Titans tomorrow. Let's see how they are coming out of that one. Best thing about this Pats/Titans game is no matter the outcome it will be a win for Buffalo. Wishing your team well tomorrow. Except Steve Belichick. That dude's just weird...lol

If the old adage still holds true and you get 3 points just for playing at home, the Bills need to view this as a slap in the face.
Neutral field and the the Bills would be .5 against a rookie QB? Insult. I know the Pats D is good. So is ours. Our offense is better and a Monday night game in OP against the Pats basically for the division lead? Place will be unhinged. This will be the most hostile environment Mac has played in.

He just needs to play his 1/11 if called upon and we will be fine.
White is a special player and makes a difference for sure. However there is a lot of talent on that D and on the secondary especially. Poyer and Hyde will lead the young guys along.

Actually, we lost all of those games because I was wearing my pink mesh thong.
It's unlucky.
Did you try turning them around to see if it would work like a rally hat?

How about Damon Arnette? 😳
I'd bet he would kill for another opportunity.
12 minutes ago, BillsFanForever19 said:A common statement in the wake of today's news on Tre'Davious White has been "I'm sure they'll bring someone in for depth". It's possible they stay pat with who they have. It's also possible they poach someone off another team's Practice Squad.
But in the event they go the veteran FA route, I thought I'd take a look at what's out there. Below is a list compiled from NFLTradeRumors.co List of Top 100 Available Free Agents - along with their ranking on the list overall and their age: (https://nfltraderumors.co/top-50-2021-nfl-free-agents/)
9.) Quinton Dunbar, 29
21.) Daryl Worley, 26
22.) Gareon Conley, 26
27.) D.J. Hayden, 31
31.) Prince Amukamura, 32
52.) Blidi Wreh-Wilson, 31
56.) Dre Kirkpatrick, 31
72.) Akeem King, 29
78.) B.W. Webb, 31
Quinton Dunbar was brought in for a visit with the team in late September of this year. Daryl Worley was a member of the Bills from 11/3-12/9/20 before being poached from their Practice Squad by Las Vegas. So I'd imagine if we were to make a FA addition, one of them is the most likely move.
Anyone have a preference from the list or an idea of someone on a team's Practice Squad?
Nice work. However Lev Bell being listed as the 6th best overall available FA goes to show how bare the FA market is.

It well make each of them look inside and discover their pure passion in life. I hear Dawson Knox is already contemplating retiring to become a florist in SoHo.

No.
Before the draft even happens there is a whole FA period. Once that's over and we see what's addressed then we think about what needs are. This is putting the cart wayyyyyyy before the horse.

Quinton Dunbar is the name going around.
I've seen it. Don't know if I agree. Seems like no one (including Buffalo) even has extended a PS spot to him. I would suspect Buffalo to look for a guy (if going outside our own PS) that has been at least practicing and would be in theory game ready.

This is not great. Feel bad for Tre, in addition to this year who knows when he will be back to his normal self.
Unfortunately, time marches on and we have big shoes to fill. Unfortunatly there is no way to replace what White brings in a 1:1 swap. Glanced at the practice squad lists and it's not a great list of replacements. I've broken a few names up into tiers. Next man up is our players in the PS.
"Next man up" tier:
Nick McCloud
Josh Thomas
"Players with Bills Ties" tier:
Lafayette Pitts-Atlanta
Kevon Seymour-Balt
Nickell Robey-Detroit
"I've Heard of them" tier:
Darqueze Dennard-Colts
Brian Poole-Colts
Joshua Jackson-Chiefs
In addition I've seen someone suggest kicking the tires on EJ Gaines.
Better hope McD and Frazier are as good at scheming a way to make up for the loss.

So players are allowed to develop. McKenzie has developed since his rookie year.
Basically, this season his "numerous other muffs" are the horrible fumble in the Colts game, which deservedly saw him benched today,
and
a muff against the Dolphins
McDermott has stressed that he wants to see the punt end with the ball in our guy's hands, so I'm not sure you can put that on McKenzie and not coaching.
He was 6th in Y/R on kickoffs and 8th in Y/R on punts before this week, so I don't think he can be misjudging punts as often as you think.
Stevenson had a muff today.
Joe B made it a point yesterday as well the Mckenzie's struggles had more to do than just in game muffs or fumbles. Said he really has had issues with ball security in practices as well. I am not good at inserting tweets but it's there on Joe's Twitter.
He also said that the ball security issues were so worrysome to the coaching staff that they have lost confidence in him to handle the ball on offense as well. Unless injury happens or a whole string of issues from Stevenson losing the ball I believe we have seen the last of McK in a Bills uni.

He's made picking up his option a no brainer for sure.
Funny that now that he's seeing the majority of snaps and not purely rotating he's popping off.

Here we go again.... Bills beat a decimated shell of a team in NO and now comes the test
in The Stadium Wall

You make some very valid and reasonable points. The things that you hope to see are justified. However in all reality there is only 1 thing I need to see.
1. Bills outscore Patriots.
Just win. Last night Lamar tossed 4 INTs. Baltimore still won. Last week the Ravens were down Lamar and Hollywood. Baltimore still won. They have had approx 317 running backs tear an ACL this year. Still winning. It always looks ugly. But they find ways. That's all that matters.
Buffalo can play ugly, mistake filled football. Turn the ball over several times. As long as they win. No extra points for pretty in this league.
