Bills corners are either not quick, big or strong enough to play press coverage. Play press and the WRs will beat them multiple times a game, and the pass rush cannot be relied upon to rush the throw. Bills are a relatively weak pass rush team needing to play mainly a zone scheme with players that fit that scheme. It is a conservative approach the recognized the limitations of the roster. Makes sense to me until guys like AJ grow up and start getting a pass rush. We don't have pro bowl Chris Jones and Frank Clark to rush the passer. So you play zone to take away the big play.

My non-medical, pull out of as- viewpoint is that is that body type (not compact), makes him great in coverage but , like Edmunds, perhaps prone to "reaching-type" injuries to extremities. An AJ Klein probably can't jump more than a foot off the ground or sprint , but his compact body doesn't get dinged on the edges the way TE and MM's can and do. I'd rather have the guy who can stay on the field and be above average than have the super athlete type who gets picked off every 6th game. I'm guessing (there I go again) that most NFL LBs probably can't even get into the situations that caused TE and MM's injuries, which in a way is good (?)

who the h wants to work for that a hole in NE for the rest of their career ? no thanks. smart boy that Stafford

yeah really no point in cutting him. let him come to camp and compete with whoever else we bring in. then decide. silly reactionary post.

Will be interesting to see Stafford on the really good team.

should be fun. Looking to come up for a game this year. time to bring back the 70's , 80's memories again... man I grew up in that place.. . Joe Ferguson, Bob Chandler, Bert Jones (?!) remember those guys?..

My sense is AJ will get a great offseason program in and be 100% better next year. And when Star comes back and takes over the 1-Tech, Oliver will go back to 3-tech full time and be back penetrating and disrupting the way he was drafted to do. Losing Star this year was a bigger deal than most realize.

When Star gets back, I cannot imagine they keep three 1 techs (Harry, Star and Butler). Unless Harry can still go 3-tech (he looking reallly big these days) , I'm thinking Harry goes if Butler dead cap hit is too big. Anyone know what that is?

Yep , if the cap is really as low as $175m next year, bills will need Knox to step up his game on his rookie deal for sure. Instead, Go get me another top speed WR to replace JB and Kroft on the roster.

exactly!

He's the only speed guy the Bills have. He isn't going anywhere until they get another 4.4 guy in there.

yeah, Davis' injury must be pretty serious.

Not happy about going for the FG before the half, that's for sure.

they go right back there next season to play them

KC just too damn good. faster, bigger , stronger, smarter. But in fairness they do this to everyone.

anyone have the lineup of "expert talking heads" game picks? Everything I've heard seems to indicate its at least 2 to 1 Chiefs. Good underdog fodder. Go Bills. This is perfect.

Remember when EJ Manuel "threw" Watkins into that ankle injury in the end zone? I was a bad throw, but come on man, Watkins was so brittle. So good to have traded him away to another team who can deal with that.

Agree. My view is that the Bills should light 'em up on Sunday, because KC will be doing the same thing. Shootout city coming (depending on the weather, which could change everything, but I digress.... )

Could be a family decision moreso than anything else. I doubt his family moved from New England (his wife is from there and he has three kids under 10) to, um, Detroit. Just a thought.

IF they can get Josh to agree to have his new deal start after his 5th year, then their "SB window" with this roster lasts two more years (and gets you two more drafts to add talent). That is what you want; I do not know what is happening with his deal, but I believe pushing the giant cap hit out two years is possible. If anyone gets wind of what Josh's deal is looking like from this perspective, sing out. If the Giant Cap Hit is next year, then keeping this really cool team together is likely not possible.

If KC is healthy and it does not rain cats and dogs (which is the prediction), Bills will need to put up high 30's to come out on top. I'm thinkin 41 - 35 KC. Its all about who can get 3 or 4 stops. On a sloppy track with both teams healthy, KC for sure. My heart says Bills, but my head says KC. We shall see. Go Bills ! Make me a liar.

Had no idea this was a thing

Completely agree. Marrone called B-llSh-t on the situation, got no answer and pulled the ripcord and got out of disfunction city. My respect for him went up a few notches for having the brains to see the disfunction and put the opt out clause in his contract.

yes. the all whites with the standing bison are the best uni by far and away. wonder if we ever see that combo again??

I'm sure both games will be replaying this week
