I still think he's an overpaid JAG but I've never thought he was terrible or a detriment to have on the field. My opinion hasn't changed. We might need to pump the brakes on the DEF a little bit. We have yet to play a good, or even average, offense.

We're basing this on a sample size of 1 game? Singletary was pretty good vs Pitt and MIA. I thought a lot of his struggles vs WFT were the O-line failing to block. Both guys have a fumbling problem - although we haven't lost any yet (knock on wood). Neither guy has shown enough to be a featured back. Continue splitting evenly and maybe ride a hot hand on an individual game basis.

The ball seemed to stop in mid-air. It landed at the 15 and bounced back to the 20 where a WFT guy grabbed it. McKenzie plowed into him to force a fumble and the ball went into the air and back to the 25 where Hopkins fielded it. Alternate angle replay starts at 26 seconds where you can actually see what happens.

FOX's broadcast was garbage. Can't tell you how annoyed I was on the Johnson INT that had 3 penalties called on the Bills and they showed 0 replays. There was even an injury to provide more time for potential replays.... On the topic of Edmunds I think he's a fairly average player. I'm ok-ish with picking up his 5th year option to give him 1 more year to live up to his athleticism\potential. I do NOT want to see him get a superstar contract after the 5th year option though. We should be able to find another Zach Brown that can do 95% of what Tremaine can at 50% (or less) of the price. Don't care about his intangibles/leadership. 1 - This is Josh Allen's team 2 -The DEF has other leaders in Poyer/Hyde

Too bad he lost out on an INT due to suspect call(s). Really solid game from him

The 2nd most unlistenable sports announcer behind only Dick Vitale. Their voices literally make me cringe I can not STAND listening to them. If either of them are on I'll switch to another game or mute them.

I think it's fair to be concerned about Daboll and his play calling, but the idea that McDermott should take over is insane. When Graham points out that McD briefly took play calling away from Frazier he fails to mention a very important fact. McDermott was a DC before becoming a head coach and had experience calling defensive plays. He has no OC experience. That's a crucial difference.

I guess I'm surprised they went from week 1 of having an unenforced mask policy to now having a fully vaccinated or GTFO policy. I'd be surprised if this doesn't revert back to the standard mask/honor system that you see at most businesses.

No issues for me. Got to the security gates around 11:40 and took about 5 minutes to get through. I had downloaded my ticket into my Apple wallet and it scanned no problem. There were no vaccination checks (app or otherwise) or mask enforcement that I saw. They made an announcement over the loud speakers a few times that EVERYONE is supposed to be masked in the concourse, and unvaccinated are supposed to be masked at all times unless taking a bite of food or sipping a drink. Looked like about 10% of people were wearing masks in the concourse and about 1% at their seats.

The only QB with more incompletions was Trevor Lawrence. 4 QBs (including Big Ben) had a worse completion % Allen did not have a good game, but in his defense I will say there were a few bad drops by WRs and a handful of throws where the WR could have made a great catch but did not. He also had a number of throws where he was hit as he was throwing it or a defender deflected it.

I think Mcdermott only made the right decision to go for it or not on 4th down once today, and that ended up being a spectacularly bad play call. In order: 4th and 1 from our own 46 with 2:41 left in 1st Q. We punted and probably should've gone for it. 4th and 3 from Pitt 43 with 10:58 left in the 2nd Q. We punted and probably should've gone for it. 4th and 8 from Pitt 35 with 5:54 in the 3rd Q. McDermott's decision to go for it in this situation was absolutely ludicrous. One of the worst in game decisions of his career. This was probably the first NFL game I've ever seen where the leading team went for a 4th down of that distance. 4th and 1 from Pitt 41 with 13:46 in the 4th. It was the right choice to go for it, and the only one I agree with McD on from today. The play call however....

The Steelers are a good team and will be a tough test for us. I don't think we beat them last year without that pick 6 at the end of the 1st half. The idea that we're disheveled due to COVID is utter nonsense. He might've had an argument if he pointed out we are one of the least vaccinated teams and all it will take is 1 staffer testing positive to send a number of our starters onto the close contact list. It's a fact that we have a higher risk of losing games due to COVID protocols than most other teams. It could even happen against the Steelers. I still think we'll win, but I don't think it'll be easy or by a lot.

I'm more critical of McDermott than most on this board. Prior to the 20-21 season I thought he was a white Marv Lewis. He made poor in game decisions (punting in OT of the snow game vs Colts), awful at challenges, poor clock management, and generally was overly conservative. So much happened in 20-21 to change my mind about McDermott. He was willing to take (reasonable) chances by going for it on 4th downs. He was willing to abandon the run game and rely on the pass game. He even got better at clock management and challenges. If we have to chose between McD and Daboll as head coach the answer is McD 100 times out of 100. Their are so many other potential OC's out there that would succeed with Allen, Diggs, et al.

Without seeing the entire build up I would say the woman is mostly to blame. The woman is yelling in the black guys face (and in his personal space) so he puts his hand out to move her back a bit. She responds with a full on slap to his face. Black guy then does a huge windup (without actually swinging) to cause that flinch. Then the white guy gets up to get involved and all 3 start shoving/throwing punches. The white guy took a couple good hits to the face and was clearly dazed. Surprising he wasn't knocked out cold.

With the 17 game season I'll say there's a decent chance that we beat our own franchise record for points. Small chance we beat the NFL record

I was mostly thinking of how the Dolphins started the 2019 season with Fitz at the helm. Through 2 games Fitz was 25/50 for 276 yards with 1 TD and 4 INTs. They lost those games by a combined scored of 102-10. Rosen started the next 3 games and did almost as poorly as Fitz. After they went back to Fitz as starter he cobbled together a pretty impressive season given the state of that roster.

Not at all. I'd have to wait until after this season (and next offseason). If Wilson or Lawrence struggle while playing on terrible rosters and end up getting traded after 1 season, then yes, I would call that a raw deal. Should we have cut Josh Allen after his rookie season because he struggled on a terrible roster ?

I don't think I've ever seen so many 2nd and 3rd hand "reports" of a player being arrogant, entitled, etc. Seems that every other poster on here has a friend that went to college with Rosen that thought he was a jerk. I still think he was given an awfully raw deal in both ARZ and MIA. I think the quality of the roster strongly contributed towards his terrible numbers - check out Bradford's and Fitz's stats for those seasons, respectively. Given a stable situation and a team committed to him maybe he would've improved to being a good QB. Who can say? I will say his rookie season wasn't very much different from the right Josh's

I watched a few of those Chiefs games, and have to say, even if the final score was close they completely dominated. The Bucs game (regular season) Tyreek Hill had 200+ yards and 3 TDs....by halftime. They had a 17 point lead going into the 4th and took their foot off the gas. The Dolphins game they scored 30 unanswered points including 21 points in < 3 minutes of game time. They had a 20 point lead going into the 4th before taking their foot off the gas. They are so talented they can beat quality teams when they only bring their "A game" for 1-2 quarters and sleep walk through the 4th. They might miss the playoffs....if Mahomes gets injured. Other than that they are overwhelming favorites to make the playoffs, and well deserved favorites to win the SB.

1) Tim Hortons has gone downhill a lot in the past ~5 years after Burger King bought them 2) Their coffee was never that great - although I did love their breakfast sandwhiches

Don't think I'd call it a "steal" but I do like the contract. The deal only trails Mahomes - which is right where it should be.

Thigpen played in 7 games for us but was never the starter. Career stats with Buffalo: 6/13 for 55 yards 0 TD 1 INT

The current stadium is perfectly fine and operational. In terms of overall quality it is (and has been for a while) near the bottom for NFL teams. I can understand why ownership and the NFL would push for a new stadium, but it's not really NEEDED.

Ignoring the political aspect of it... that's really not a good look. At least he didn't provide the name of the player that tested positive. I don't think he's done enough to have the Bills consider releasing/trading him, but he's quickly approaching that threshold. I have to imagine McBeane are going to have another sitdown with him and tell him he needs to stop being a distraction on social media. I'd guess this would be the last warning before he faces real consequences (fines, suspension, cut from the team).

You can ignore the personal aspect of it. The Rams can't afford to trade him (check out those dead cap hits), and we can't afford to trade for him. It doesn't work on any level. That said, maybe Jalen and Tre will play together on the 2021 all-Pro team 😀
