He's currently #7 in receiving yards, tied for #14 in receptions, and tied for #26 in TD's. He's definitely performing like a #1 WR option.

Check out the 2019 sack stats after 10 games: 11.5 from 5 different DT's 8.5 from 4 different DE's 5 from 3 difference LB's 4 from 4 different DB's I don't have any of the pressure or hurry stats with me, but it's interesting how little our DE's actually contribute to the total sack number (8.5 of 29). I wonder how this compares to other 4-3 defenses? Also, only Jordan Phillips stands out with 7 sacks. Otherwise, it's been a true team effort with 15 other players contributing to 22 sacks. Make use of this info as you so please. My interpretation remains that this defense needs an All-Pro pass-rushing DE to be the truly elite defense we hoped we had earlier in the season (one that doesn't allow the Browns to march down the field for a game-winning TD drive, for example. Or one that can generate more than 0.6 interceptions a game, as another).

I was surprised he didn't win it during the preseason. By the way, anyone know what happened to Trent Murphy this afternoon? I see 8 players contributed to 7 sacks today, but our $9 million DE wasn't one of them.

Well I'm not. They played well today against the Miami Dolphins. But there have been many recent games where Josh Allen had to run for his life or when the offense repeatedly could not gain a yard or two on the ground when they really needed it. Spain and Feliciano are serviceable, but with $80+ million in cap space (~$95+ when you cut Murphy and Kroft), I'd be looking for something closer to dominant. Ford's future as a RT is also very far from certain. He's only the starter there now because of Nsekhe's injury. Judge these players on their performances over 10 games, not just today. Let's also see how the OL does against stronger overall competition for the final 6 games.

I want to see 6 new starters for next year: WR opposite Brown, RT, G, LDE, SOLB, and CB2. If that happens, then I will announce the Bills as my Super Bowl pick next year on GMFB.

- said in Morgan Freeman's voice. I'd love to see a star free agent CB (and a LDE) added to this defense this offseason.

Bingo. Randy Constan gets it. When will the rest of America?

Looking at the 1990 Bills season reminds me how much better the NFL was back then (it also helped that the Bills were good). The Bills played Marino's Dolphins three times, Moon's Oilers, Elway's Broncos, the Bo Jackson/Marcus Allen Raiders twice, the Parcells/Belichick Giants twice, the Buddy Ryan/Randall Cunningham Eagles, and the Joe Gibbs Redskins).

So I actually wasn't referring to Dustin's kicking ability, but ok, yes I can see why the confusion...

I'm still not over Dustin Hopkins. I'll probably never get over Dustin Hopkins. To me, Dustin Hopkins is the one that got away.

So scratch the Ravens off the playoff list?

It's coming down to 2 reasons: 1. 6-0 vs terrible teams and 0-2 vs playoff-caliber teams 2. Buffalo's QB isn't good because: stats A related gem from the world's least attractive sports analyst, Nick Wright:

Better than me! Kay had a little too much wine last night, took the test, possibly got 2 questions in, face-planted into the laptop, and then woke up to find I'm as smart as Terry Bradshaw.

It may be a lame football cliche, but run and stop the run has never been more true for a Bills game than this one.

Unbelievable. The guy had ONE bad day, and 25 years later all you judgmental folks here still won't let him live it down. Just the other day, Peter Schrager spilled his coffee on my blouse. And you know what I did? I FORGAVE Peter (even though I really shouldn't have...). OJ did so much for Buffalo in the 70's. Cut the man some slack, because we all know he would cut the same amount of you.

100% we are rooting for the Chargers. The conference loss difference with the Raiders is part of the reason, but the difference in schedule difficulty is the other. The Chargers still need to play the Chiefs twice and also the Vikings. I understand the concern for a second-half resurgence, but the Chargers are probably way too inconsistent to finish 5-1 or 6-0. Yes, we are also rooting for the Chiefs over the Titans. You have to assume that the Pats, Chiefs, Ravens, and Texans are making the playoffs. That leaves the Bills, Steelers, Colts, Raiders, Chargers, Titans, and Jags as the realistic competitors for those final 2 playoff spots. If the Raiders and Steelers lose Sunday and the Bills win, then the Bills will have a 3 game playoff cushion with 7 games left.

By focusing on the weak schedule and on the losses to NE and Philly, I think many of you are overlooking the reality of the national media bias. If any of the more marketable franchises jumped out to a 6-2 record (regardless of the schedule) with the #3 defense, the #11 rushing attack led by an exciting rookie like Singletary and a respected vet like Gore, a constantly improving second-year first-round QB with running skills and a number of 4th-quarter comebacks already to his resume, and weeks ago had almost beat the greatest NFL dynasty ever....you don't think that team would get more hype than what the Bills are currently getting??? The bias is real and shameful. The Bills represent everything the NFL is trying to move away from: small market in the Rust Belt, cold weather, emphasis on defense and the running game, zero big-name divas on the roster, squeaky clean image (read: BORING)....

Basically, salary cap space isn't an issue this year and it won't be next year. It very well could be an issue in 2021, but the good news is that the dead cap hit for JH's contract in 2021 is only $2.1 million. Star's dead cap, by the way, is a bit higher at $5.2, but that can always be distributed partly into 2022. So in conclusion: Brandon Beane is in control of things. No need to worry. Also, keep in mind that the Bills currently have the #3 NFL defense in points per game, yards per game, and opposing QB passer rating. I would definitely like to see improved stats in sack totals from Hughes, Oliver, Lawson, Murphy, etc... as well as a better run defense, but these guys are doing SOMETHING right for this defense to be #3 in those categories.

I believe their stadium contract is up after the 2029 season, so they'll be free to leave for London as early as 2030. Good riddance, too. Jacksonville never should have been awarded a pro football franchise. It's a terrible fanbase that only cares about college football, NASCAR, cooking meth, and inbreeding during their leisure time.

And yet the two best teams in the NFL right now are the undefeated Patriots and the undefeated 49ers, two defense-first teams with absolutely elite defenses and offenses more than capable of contributing as well. The differences between them and the Bills? 1. Their defenses are actually elite. The Bills' defense is mediocre in turnovers and run defense, below average in pass rush, and pathetic in red zone defense. 2. The Patriots and 49ers have good offenses, though not elite in the same way as KC. The Bills' offense, meanwhile, has a lot of work to do. Too many turnovers, poor passing game, too many three-and-outs, etc.. My conclusion: keep improving both sides of the ball, but you can win a Super Bowl in the NFL with just a good offense and an elite defense.

It just seems that way because we're playing all of them: Jets twice, Dolphins twice, Bengals, Redskins, Broncos, Browns are in disarray, Steelers lost Ben Ruthlessraper for the season, Titans benched Mariota, and Giants are undergoing a rebuild.

If I saw Josh Allen's extension, I wouldn't even be thinking about his personality. "Ooooh, behave, Kay!" - says you. No. No, I shall not behave.

The head coach sees tacos floating around at press conferences, so he shouldn't be throwing stones in his glass house.

I've always hated the "squish the fish" chants. It makes Bills fans come across as ignorant, slack-jawed yokels instead of the refined folding table jumpers that the rest of the NFL has come to know and admire.

I don't know if it's laughable. When you only have 100 spots and are including every football position over 100 seasons, there are going to be some all-time greats left out. I see 8 post-WW 2 RB's (Motley, Dorsett, Peterson, Campbell, Faulk, Tomlinson, OJ, Dickerson) already. There will be 4 more (Smith, Payton, Sanders, Brown). Was Thurman a top-10 all-time RB? No. More like mid-teens. Playing at the same time as Sanders and Smith didn't help his cause.
