They did play better than us for a couple weeks there, but a season is much longer than that. That's not much different than saying the Jets are the better team if they just now completed a TD drive on us on their way to a 20 point loss or some such. Clearly the Dolphins are 2nd best in the AFCE right now and they will get better as they have a lot of young talent and great coaching. The Bills Dolphins rivalry is about to get lit up again.

I'm not surprised to see Fitz high on that 1st list. I was surprised they benched him while he was playing so well, but Tua is 2-0, so I guess...

Like we had against the Pats? That would be great! We do need to keep improving the OL, though.

Bill's 28 Seahawks 27 And a nail biting finish.

The time is now Dawson! Seize the moment!

Great choices. Throw in Beasley. He's having his best year.

Our OL will never be too good. As far as Ike Boetger is concerned, let's hope this is no flash in the pan.

Me too. I'd still like one with speed, but we are getting solid play from a pair of 3rd round picks. We need to build in the trenches.

I sure hope he doesn't leave. He's very good and we don't need any more soft spots on our roster.

1. Lou Saban (back to back 1st place finishes) 2. Marv Levy (4 consecutive 2nd place finishes) . . . Last - Harvey Johnson (2-26)

For what it's worth, his overall Madden rating is 75 which is much better than Siran Neal (overall 66). To interpret for you -- It means he has a pulse. Sometimes Madden ratings are spot on and sometimes they are way off, but usually they're about right unless a player's performance level is rapidly improving or declining. They haven't even added Dane Jackson to our roster yet, so I don't know what his is. Norman is a 76. White is a 91. Unless you're talking about K Benjamin or Star Lotulelei.

I really hope they don't make the mistake of extending him. It shouldn't take 3 years to figure out how to play LB. QB's may take that long, but not LB's.

I doubt they'd trade him to us, but I'd be all for having the best outside CB tandem in football by far.

Definitely not a starter, but he's better than AJ Klein by a hair.

Some posters don't think he is good any more because he isn't getting as many sacks. They fail to notice that he is consistently in the league's top 5 at getting pressure and has evolved into an all around solid DE. We need to keep him and Addison on the field together as much as possible. Since Hughes is clearly the better run defender, he should play the LE position most of the time. His awareness and ability to quickly diagnose plays are still excellent. I would just add that I think Oliver will play better too now that the knee is better and we still don't know where his ceiling is. He's not playing poorly, but he needs to get better. We need a great NT next to him. I really think that would help him a lot having a 1 tech guy that can push the pile. Maybe Epenesa will push Addison and Murphy for a starting job too. Just add a better MLB to that list and our front 7 looks OK.

Q Williams hasn't impressed in NY. Do you think he will suddenly turn it around here? I'm not sure about that.

I didn't think he had any business playing in the probowl last year either. I'm just not a fan. To me, he's turning out just like Shaq Lawson -- A pretty good backup. I don't see him getting extended to a 5th year. They'll probably give him another shot in 2022 and just let him walk after the season unless he makes HUGH strides. I don't see it happening. After all the snaps he's had, the game still hasn't slowed down for him. I don't even understand how he can't shed blockers with his long reach and strength. It's unfortunate because MLB is a crucial position in McDermott's scheme. Don't look for too much criticism from his coaches though. They typically do not criticise their players in public (with 1 exception -- Dareus).

Fletcher Cox in a Bills uniform is just too much to hope for, but he would improve our defense a LOT against the run and would really help the pass rush.

Good news. Wallace is nothing great, but he's better at CB than Neal by a mile. I can't say about Jackson. I haven't seen enough of him yet.

Williams has come a long way in just 1 year to be named 2nd team all pro for the first ¼ of the season considering the injury. Dawkins is pretty average and I wouldn't signing a really good LT and moving him inside where Ford is struggling badly. I think Dawkins would be better inside. Another stud at RG would be awesome too. Feliciano and Winters are pretty mediocre as well.

I can't say how much of our problems are injury related. Perhaps we have several players playing at 90% because they are playing hurt. If I don't know more about this, I can't say we need to replace anyone. Hughes can still play well and we just added Addison and Epenese. We could use a true NT, but no more average DT's please. A CB would be good, but would have to fit our scheme and we have several average CB's so it would need to be a very good player. A Guard or LT (move Dawkins inside) would be really nice, but again, I'd only want a very good one. Same with TE as Kroft is average and Knox hasn't come around yet. If they feel the need and it's a favorable deal, OK, but get an elite player or don't bother.

He's 32 and his performance has been slipping badly this season from years past. This is why Dallas is trying to unload him while they can still get something in return. Maybe he's just not motivated because the Cowboys are bad and their defense is worse.

I was 4 when the Bills were born. I still remember those raucous fans at the Rockpile, the smell of cigars all around, the back to back championships. I've just never even considered rooting for anyone else. There have been players I've admired from other teams like Butkus, Namath, Marino and Reggie White, but as long as they represent my hometown, I will never waiver in my support even if they are 0-16, they are still my only team.

Both RB's played well. This is the same Singletary that averaged an eye popping 5.1 yards per carry last year. We are not desperate. We just need to execute better.

All through the 2nd half I kept thinking about that Bills vs Chargers game where McDermott took over the playcalling from Frazier and the defense went from horror show to hammer time. It wouldn't surprise me if that happened in this game too. I wonder if Frazier is easier to predict and his HC is catching offenses off guard more frequently. If this is the case, McDermott needs to own up to this and start calling the plays for the defense going forward.
