Someone started a big thread about adding him to the wall of fame a couple of years ago. That was pretty comical. Look, Orton was good for a few games, and then he sucked. My theory was that Marrone's extremely conservative and overbearing coaching got to him. He went from throwing the ball down field and taking risks to playing scared, which is something that Marrone QB's always had in common. I believe he really laid into guys if they turned it over or made a mistake. Orton was an above average QB for his career. Nothing more, nothing less. But in Bufalo he was at the tail end of his career and clearly wasn't motivated to try super hard.

Do you think they are telling a lie and they do care? I believe them. What's wrong with posting that they don't care?

I sent a band of crying babies into their hotel during the night. Worked like a charm.

He's good, but overrated, much like many of the "great" corners these days. I don't think there are any true lockdown corners anymore. Part of that is the evolution of offenses. Part of that is rules changes. Ramsey is good, though, but Diggs eats good corners for breakfast out of spite. Diggs can beat anyone, and regularly proves that. Why do you think he kept himself out of the game? He was injured in a practice in July and underwent meniscus repair surgery. He was always going to miss this game.

A moronic take in the highest degree. Well done.

He didn't write that. They never do.

There's always going to be a weak link. If it isn't Brown, it will be someone else.

The amount of time it takes you to realize that Diggs isn't moving and to yell out "Pass" or whatever, the play fake has already happened and the defenders have either bitten or not. The only regrettable thing about this is that Diggs is not participating in run blocking, which usually does not matter much when you are way out wide.

I don't think you are making it up, but I do think you are putting too much stock into unsubstantiated rumors and conspiracies. Until an actual source with information presents itself, I'm not going to trust junk like this. McDermott took 90% of the blame for 13 seconds. Farwell and Frazier did not take the brunt of the blame from fans and the media. McDermott clearly did, and still does.

Man, it must suck to be the weakest link in football. You just get abused. Like the Bills targeting Kohou with Diggs.

I like these a lot. I hope you're able to keep doing them. Do you feel like Brown is being targeted by opposing teams? If they perceive him to be the weakest link, they may try things to take advantage of him. If so, that means Brown is just naturally going to have a much tougher time and give up more pressures.

Preseason games are glorified practices, with fewer reps. They are a part of the evaluation, but only a part.

The preseason games (what you and I see) are a small fraction of what the coaches see and use to evaluate players.

The really impressive thing is that when the Bills lose, it is almost always by only a few points and usually requires a bunch of big, self-inflicted wounds, like a bunch of turnovers. The Bills almost never lose by multiple scores. I know there has been a game here and there, but they are rare.

Josh Allen had a trash team his rookie year and he absolutely showed flashes of his potential as a passer. Fields is in year 3. People still kind of treat him like a rookie, almost. He just doesn't have what it takes. Yeah, but Diggs torches ALL the top corners. He seems to relish in it. Jackson was overrated for sure (some were saying he was the best corner in the league), but I still thought he would be good.

I'd be fine with that. Fields is not a good QB. He's a great runner, but he is not a good QB. You'd think the league would have learned by now.

Personal BS of Elam not performing as well as the corners in front of him? He's the third CB now. He won't be starting, but he should be active.

I don't think it matters. Why are you worried about our 6th best defensive end? He is barely playing. He took 7 snaps against the Dolphins.

Hmm, I thought he was pretty good. Overrated, sure, but I still thought he'd be a good corner for them. But he turned out to be a disaster. I'm not sure why he played so much better in NE. Maybe he needed the New England cheating and spying machine to succeed?

Mahomes was a first round draft pick. He was always expected to take over. Smith, despite his good numbers, was always seen as an average QB, kind of like a high-end bridge QB. And he had the label of "game manager" already. I don't think it was a bold move to move on from him. It was expected at the time.

Overruled the squib kick? Everything I have seen and heard is that everyone, including McDermott, was expecting the squib kick, but Bass did not get the word from the coaches. And we don't know for sure that McDermott called the D. That's a logical assumption, but he could have also trusted Frazier to do it and got seriously burned by that decision. We don't know because they've been tight lipped about it.

I've made similar comments. I used to watch other games and ask myself "Why can't my team look like that?", and now I watch and get pretty bored. Yeah, some games are interesting and there are a couple of other teams that are exciting too, but the Bills (the defense too, mind you) are just such a fun and explosive team.

I'd classify the Jets as a defensive team and the Dolphins as an offensive team. Their strengths in coaching, scheme, personnel, etc. are on those sides of the ball. The Jets defense gives most QB's a hard time, not just Josh Allen. And we seem to always play the Jets very early in the season, often week 1 or 2. I think that plays into it. It can take Josh and the offense a bit of time to click and acclimate.

Yeah, let's base all our roster decisions on preseason snaps...

The delusional hate for Dorsey is reaching imbecilic levels now.
