Settle over Poona may have been due to Settle being in the system longer. Communication and being in sync with your teammates is big with McD. That's why it always hurts when you lose a starter. Besides a dropoff in talent, there is also a dropoff in communication.

No...but thank you for offering.

As hard as it is.

Well...the experiment failed. So let's not try that again!

In his presser, McD said that Groot, Shaq and Benford are all improving. If we get all those guys back and only lose Milano and DaQuonn, it will be a huge plus.

It's a large market for jerseys and merchandise. US has been pretty much saturated. That's why they are courting the Swifties...untapped market for merchandise.

I found out today on One Bills Live, that the Jaguars are one of the best teams versus 12 personnel because of their in-the-box safety play. That's why none of our underneath stuff was working. Josh started moving the ball more downfield in the second half but it was too little, too late.

This is why none of you are GMs in the NFL....among other reasons. Why trade the one player on our defense who has been a beacon of hope in the most disastrous of circumstances?

According to CBS Sports. they are signing him to the practice squad, not the active roster. Maybe they simply want a veteran presence to help out the younger players. https://www.cbssports.com/nfl/news/bills-signing-former-all-pro-cb-josh-norman-to-practice-squad-amid-rash-of-defensive-injuries-per-report/

If anyone is dirty at LB it's Finkel! He late hit Josh a couple of times and wasn't flagged for it.

Remember, too, that with Dorian more in the line-up, communication will get better. Romo last week...who BTW is a jinx for the Bills...mentioned that the communication between Bernard and Milano and the entire defense was outstanding. He also said after watching Milano after Tre went out, that the Bills could ill afford to lose him to injury, and he touted DaQuon's play all game. Thus...he is a jinx.

In his presser, McD was asked about their travel and he admitted it is something that needs to be looked at moving forward.

Pittsburgh is not getting rid of Levi Wallace. He's one of their best corners. On the other hand, Denver is building for the future and the rumblings are that no player is safe. I think we have to look down the road beyond Tre. I want him to come back from this injury, but I'm not sure he can come back at corner. If we could replace him with a player like Surtain at CB, perhaps Tre can step into one of the Safety roles moving forward.

I would be elated if the Bills traded for Patrick Surtain. I think that would be a big boost to our secondary.

Daboll has said he is optimistic about Jones playing next week.

I agree I hate the quad boxes and octoboxes, etc. However...there are so many times when teams aren't in the Red Zone so they have to cut to other team content.

The two games that scared me the most when I saw the schedule, was opening day versus the Jets on 9/11 and playing the Jags in London after they had two games in a row there. I just had bad vibes about those games. (I especially hate the Jags.) So...I chalked those games off as probable losses. What is compounding things this year though, this year, is the devastating player losses of late. Those player losses are to key players. Injuries can quickly derail seasons. Hopefully, the Bills can find their way through this and rise above.

That commercial about the scripted NFL season was not just parody.

Just follow the money.

"If it weren't for bad luck we'd have no luck at all."

From what they are reporting, Denver is talking to teams about trades before the deadline.

May as well award the SB to the Chiefs right now. This officiating is obviously biased. No tipped pass. Vikings player held in the end zone...and no PI. Player takes his helmet off...and rather than a flag he's told to put his helmet back on.

Ok. Today was a disaster right from the beginning. First...the Bills were at a disadvantage with the Jags having a 10 day head start on being acclimated to London. Should the Bills have gone earlier in the week? Probably. But teams like to impact the routine of their players as little as possible. Next...we are already missing 4 key starters heading into the game while the Jags got most of theirs back. Then on the first series we lose 2 more key starters. So not only do you have subs that are not as talented playing, but you also lose the valuable communication that these players have built together. Despite the above...the Bills gathered themselves and after spotting the Jags 11 points...they made a game of it. They had one scoring drive for a TD that took all of 45 seconds! The day caught up with them...and they lost. We are disappointed in the final score and devastated by the injuries. But before I declare this season finished, let's see who is out and for how long and who we get back. If there are moves to be made by Beane so be it. I'm tired of pointing fingers and grabbing pitchforks. **** happens. And for the past two seasons it's happening to the Bills. It stinks but we're on to the Giants.

Should have taken Stroud.

I believe so. There was no reported injury in any of the post game pressers.
