Snyder is going up in flames and the vultures are swooping in to see if they can get a piece before it is too late.

How is this cheating? Is it against the rules? He didn't promise never to do it. He said "I don't know if we would ever do that." Now he knows. The answer is: yes, he would do that.

We've seen this before because it happens to every single team every single year. That's football. Every team goes through a tough stretch of games and needs to change things up and get back on track.

"The Colts" don't know how to do anything. It's the general manager, coaches, and other front office staff. Those people who did those things are gone.

They should have actually tried to draft a QB instead of just going with old retreads every year.

The past two games it has been Allen. Where is Josh Allen from the Rams game? He was so focused. He got the ball out quick. He took the easy passes. He took calculated risks and put his play makers in positions to succeed. He sustained long drives. Then add to that his ability to escape pressure and make off script plays, plus his ability to run it. He was absolutely unstoppable. Allen needs to get back to that. He needs to come out next week and get the quick pass game going again. Dump it off to Singletary and Cook. Yes, take a shot here and there. Then the deep stuff and impactful plays will open up. But Allen needs to be more focused and read the defense.

I don't think that is healthy or normal. If football affects you so deeply, it might be best to take a break. Football is a game. It is supposed to entertain you.

Allen drank his own kool-aid. He just needs to focus and get back to work and forget that he is a superstar.

Did you listen to White this week? It's obvious he is not confident enough to come back yet.

Josh Allen SHOULD defend him. No really, line Josh up as a linebacker and go sack Zach Wilson.

The Bills have been one of the more injured teams to start the year. It just is not talked about as much nationally because the Bills have been winning still.

I predict... game day inactive.

I don't usually question injury issues for players. I know how hard it is to play injured. But the Michael Thomas situation the past two years is just strange. He basically missed most of 2020 with an ankle sprain. Misses 2021 after an ankle surgery (why didn't he have it done sooner if it was that bad? And why did it take a full year to come back from?). And again this year, he is injured and misses a bunch of weeks, then decides to get surgery, ensuring he'll miss the rest of the season. So, he basically missed 3 seasons because of a sprained ankle and a dislocated toe. That's not normal, I don't think.

I feel like he has been doing his best to collect his paychecks the past two years and play as little as possible.

Just admit it. You know nothing about the South.

This. There are places in this country where football at all levels is revered and will continue to be until the end of time. In the South Football is like a religion.

Oh, he for sure embellishes hits. And he certainly complains to refs for calls. He is an NFL quarterback. They all do it, or at least the good ones do. Allen has admitted to holding onto the ball a little longer to try to get a hit and draw a roughing penalty. We've seen him embellish hits on the sideline, or go down after a small hit after a throw. He for sure does it. BUT I agree that it is nothing different about him. Allen doesn't do it more than other QB's.

The Bills already have one of the best pressure rates in the league, so there is no need to blitz. Getting pressure without blitzing is the gold standard for defenses.

I think Joe has his biases and I doubt sometimes that he actually watches each player. My guess is he watches the entire oline at once to save time. He always has a few head scratchers each week. Also, grades are a very subjective thing, especially for the oline.

He said multiple times that he has "a long way to go", so that makes me feel like he probably won't be playing any time soon. But I guess we'll see. Maybe part of getting to 100% includes some game reps. I got the sense that he is in no rush. Obviously the team is never in a rush to get players back from injury either. So, the process will be as long and drawn out as they want, I suppose. Pretty different from most other teams who seem to rush players back and maybe players feel the need to rush back on those teams. I do know this: you have no business stepping on an NFL field unless you are 100% confident in your abilities and your body. If you are hesitant, that's a risk. If you are compensating for something, that's an injury risk. I get the sense Tre White is not 100% confident yet.

Not a big fan of the blue on blue, but whatever. I don't think of that at all when the game is on.

It worked out for Allen. That would have been a sucky situation to be in. Allen got to come here and have stability. Of course, he had virtually no offensive talent around him, but at least he had a stable front office and coaches committed to his development.

At the time it was seen as a good pick.

I wondered if this would happen. It will be interesting to see if he gets playing time.

Pretty impressive by Dorsey, honestly. He is coming up with some interesting schemes and play calls in the run game. Obviously, the pass game has been top notch too.
