How do you know what the team nutritionist is doing?

Why? Can't it be any of the other 52 on the roster?

That's the thing. Singletary IS productive even with our crappy oline. He needs more touches, though. Get him up to 15-20 a game and he is easily a 1,000 yard back. And I think he would fumble less too. I think they fumble sometimes because they know they only have a few carries a game and they try to absolutely maximize every single one, which leads to errors.

Probably after a couple of years of not making the playoffs.

The offensive coaches are not preparing the offense well enough. Some of the injuries have had domino effects across the whole team. The players compound their issues by trying to do too much and making mistakes (especially Allen). It is particularly hard to come from behind in bad weather games because it affects the passing game more. I also think the Bills have some good individual talents that do not operate as units. This is most evident on the defensive line. Good individual players the each do their own thing without really operating as a unit. The offensive line has the same problem except they don't have many good players, which makes it even worse. I think another issue is teams come in as "underdogs" and give the Bills their best shot. It is an easy rallying point for players and coaches and adds more motivation for them. The Bills are a finesse team and lack mental and physical toughness. Ultimately, I think a lot of these issues come down to coaching, especially offensive coaching. McDermott needs to whip his offensive coaches into shape or start looking for replacements.

I'll be at this game. Hope it isn't a miserable experience. I'll be doing enough fun things in the days leading up and days after to make the trip worth it regardless, though.

Ah yes. I looked at it wrong.

Interesting. All three of those teams lost this week.

That's what I saw too.

Bills - 31 Colts - 19

To each his own. White had 2 less sacks than Smith but played in 47 fewer games. So he was more productive in the games he played as far as sacks. Smith had a lot more tackles for loss, though, so maybe that means that Smith was better at playing the run and was a more well rounded defender? Both players are before my time, really, so I only have highlights and old games to go off of.

Offenses mitigate pass rushers better these days too. QB's get the ball out quicker and don't drop back so deep. Plus, things that used to be sacks are now penalties, so getting a clean sack is much more difficult. Maybe one day, but that record is going to be there for a long, long time.

Right now Diggs is 10th in receptions and 7th in receiving yards. Not too shabby.

Draw the line at catching an extremely contagious virus during a worldwide pandemic? I'm sure the player's association would be totally fine with that reasoning.

Blah blah blah. Keep crying.

He was terrible. Slow out of his stance. Don't believe me? He was so bad they moved him to guard.

Agreed. Williams has been really bad at RT, so even though Hart isn't good, it keeps things the most effective. That way you don't have to start Ford AND you don't have to move Williams to a spot he has struggled. Win-Lose instead of Lose-Lose. It's incredible that you have forgotten how terrible Williams has been at RT THIS YEAR!

Can the LT snap the ball instead? I would want to keep Josh as far away from that side as possible.

The Bills stats are better than the Patriots. Better point differential. Better defense overall. Better offense overall. Better record. Better QB. Better receivers. The list goes on. I think football is too much for you. Maybe try soccer. You can roll on the ground crying right along with the players.

Dang, so how did all those 90's Bills players get into the hall of fame? Dang, so how did all those 90's Bills players get into the hall of fame?

Jim Kelly won a lot, including four conference championships. You are comparing Matthew Stafford to Jim Kelly? Stafford has never won a single playoff game. And he has only played in 3.

Buffalo is 2nd in cap spending on defense behind Kansas City (crazy because they don't have a good defense). Last year the Bills were 1st and Kansas City was 2nd. https://www.spotrac.com/nfl/positional/defense/

Nothing is legendary in the moment. It can only be legendary if we are thinking back on it that way. But it can be elite, and it definately is an elite defense.

I'd rather see Bates on the interior, but Williams mightily struggled at RT against the Jags, so I'm not sure I want to see Williams out there again. It's strange, because he played so well at RT last year. But yes, I think Bates is a good player. I would not be surprised if he was a starter one day (maybe on a different team if we let him walk).

He could be a close contact and go on that list, right? Also, we do not know his vaccination status, so don't jump to conclusions.
