Hey, we didn't win a close game this week. That's bad.

This is a crazy game.

Barkley is finally healthy.

Because he worked in insurance?

Yeah, that's why he signed Cam Newton, right? Ridiculous take.

They do realize that. That's why they are trying to change it. It's smart for them to try. Sure. That's why they are investing so much money to change perceptions. And it is working slowly but surely in many countries. It isn't going to change overnight.

Really interesting Von said that if Josh Allen and Stefon Diggs weren't in Buffalo, there would really be no reason for him to come to Buffalo. Just interesting because those are offensive players and you sometimes think that players focus more on the guys on their side of the ball, but Von seems to really have a whole team perspective and really loves developing relationships with teammates, especially those elite guys like Josh and Stefon.

So I guess he got his wish to get out of Seattle, got paid, and now he just doesn't really care anymore? Is that the issue?

You fail to score a TD for nearly 5 quarters, your offense has been putrid all night, and somehow you find the confidence to go for the TD in that spot. Pretty stupid.

Great job by him holding onto the ball and not fumbling it.

This game is like watching paint dry.

Practice squad players are FREE to sign with any team. The team can't get in the way of a player finding another home when they are on the practice squad. This is what I don't get. Obviously, another team has not been interested enough in signing him, so why leave without another opportunity, essentially burning a bridge with the organization who at least wants you around and is paying you? He will probably sign to another team's practice squad, which is no different than his situation was here. Good riddance, honestly.

Tre is the #1 corner. The rest of the guys file in behind him in whatever order the coaches decide. I'm guessing Jackson and Elam will split time. Benford is hurt and won't be rushed back. If Benford transitions to safety it won't be mid-season.

The thing that's bad about Schopp is he spends as much time as possible talking about anything but the Buffalo Bills. He goes on long tangents about really stupid things. He'll talk about players from other teams. He'll talk about betting and fantasy. I really feel like he barely cares about the Bills. He even admitted one time to not actually watching the Bills game he was supposedly supposed to be talking about. His apathy comes through, and it doesn't do anything for him. Heck, he doesn't even seem to enjoy doing what he does, especially when he has to listen to callers. He is just a guy collecting his paycheck. Bulldog (why does he call himself something so stupid?) is just a random guy to be there talking about stuff with Schopp. Doesn't have a good voice for radio. Doesn't provide any worthwhile analysis or insight. Schopp at least has a decent radio voice. So yeah, I find their show boring and depressing. I see no point to it. I wonder how they haven't been replaced yet.

Even if he was just as good at safety as he is as corner, you still keep him at corner. Corner is a more important position and Tre White is an all-pro corner.

I think he just kind of tripped and fell.

This one is cool:

Zimmer! I liked that guy.

Benford could transition to safety. I think that's his best shot at getting on the field once Tre comes back. Maybe not this year, but in future years.

If Beane and McDermott view him as critical to this defense, they will pay whatever they need to, even if that means moving on from other players. But I don't think they see it thay way. They likely have a dollar amount set and will not be willing to go over that. It remains to be seen how close that number is to what he can get on the open market.

I trust Beane. If he thinks Edmunds is worth it and wants to keep him, great. If he wants to move on, I am fine with that. I agree that he gets more hate than he deserves.

Then why did so many players have issues like never before, and there were multiple players who said it was the hottest game they had played, even McKenzie who grew up there? This game was not par for the course, clearly. And I think it is strange that you keep claiming something that is so easy to refute.

The throw was not great. He just lobbed it in there. That's how Poyer described it too, I think. He was on the run and under pressure, so that's fine, but saying it was a good throw is not really accurate. It was a throw to an "open" receiver, but there was nothing good about it.

Haha, OK so let's just get rid of the games you choose. The Bills are 0-500 all time in 1 score games (after removing the ones that Billsfan1972 deems unworthy of the data set).

It's really weird. It almost feels like he isn't actually part of the team because of the weird situation and because he wasn't with the team at all in the off season. I kind of forget about him because we punt so little, then he comes out and gets a good punt and I'm like "Hey! I remember you! Nice punt!" He has been doing a great job. Kudos to him.
