Ethan in Cleveland

I believe Allen and Aaron Rodgers are the best intermediate, say 10 -25 yards, passers of all time. Marino and Fouts were excellent at this distance too.

Bills should seriously consider moving Tre to safety when he returns. Right now Elam and Jackson are playing well and Benford will be back soon. The weakest link on the defense is Johnson/Hamlin opposite Poyer. Rod Woodson did this and landed in the HOF after his knee surgery and this history indeed sways my thinking. Woodson probably makes the HOF as a CB regardless. Others have done it too - Aneas Williams was another. Tre is a great corner but it does appear to be true that McD's system allows CBs of all skill levels to do well. Akin to an OL playing your best 5 somewhat agnostic of position, perhaps the Bills should do the same thing in the secondary with their best 4 players plus Taron Johnson at nickel. My only hesitation for White to safety is that he has never been a great tackler in the open field. Hyde may never play for the Bills again given his injury and only 1 more year on his contract. Moving White to safety now and letting the rookies play CB gives them a long term plan for years to come in the secondary. Feel free to flame away, but I look forward to what others think.

Well Doyle was a fifth round pick so I'm not sure how to answer you. That said I get what you are implying. Late round picks are even more of a crap shoot than first or second day picks. That is fair. I guess I look to those spots to either fill a specific role - punter, PK, kick return, or special teams as Beane has done, or someone that has some skill to develop. Doyle's only attribute was his height. Other than that he is athletically limited to be kind.

He is playing better this year than at any point last year. Opinions and evaluations are allowed to change and evolve. That's why you pick up his 5th year option and see what happens. Right now he is trending towards a franchise tag or contract extension. Milano was a popular choice for parting ways to afford other players but he is playing at an elite level. Odd men out here are going to be Hyde, Singletary, Epenesa, and maybe Morse. Poyer probably gets a 2 year extension soon with how well he is playing. They will restructure White. Very unlikely but if he doesn't recover from his injury he could be a cap casualty with Dane, Elam, and Benford being cheaper options. Heresy I know but you can't pay everyone and inured guys like Hyde and White get released all the time. They then draft safety and OL next year.

Geno played decently in relief of Wilson last year but couldn't finish games and got worse the more he played. That was of course with a terrible o-line and no run game. He is playing much better and more consistently so far this year. Good for him.

1. Hurts and Eagles - Hurts is playing really well. MVP candidate well. 2. Wilson playing so poorly in Denver - many on this board said he was overrated. Looks like they were correct 3. Mayfield being really awful - thought last year the poor play was his injured shoulder. He is playing his way out of the NFL 4. Colts really being terrible - I had them running away with that division. Reich is going to lose his job 5. Doug Pederson - he is making Jacksonville respectable and Reich is getting worse.

As Vegas would say, unless it is the QB that is injured it doesn't matter. They only move the line if a QB goes down.

I can live with this being a no call. OT has arms on his body and then the DE dips. As long as it is called evenly for both teams, I am fine with letting them play.

No idea how this was not called. He is pulling him down.

Nice try OP. Allen is the best QB in NFL and the Bills win because of him. Harbaugh played for a TD because he knew a FG was not going to be enough to win. The defense looks very good but they got shredded in the first half. Fortunately they held for FGs otherwise the score could have been much worse. If Allen and the offense doesn't get that TD right before the half it is game over. Last year's D was a fraud. This year it looks legit. We will know more when White comes back and they play KC. Missing Hyde will hurt all year long but the CB play should get better soon.

Little Jimmy was just named interim HC at Wisconsin. Apparently he was the heir apparent and expected to be the permanent replacement.

I don't but the vitriol is about deferring. I don't disagree with many. I would defer in the hopes I could get two back to back possessions and also prevent the opponent from getting back to back possessions. But in the end, just like today it just doesn't matter. There are far too many variables during a game for the coin toss/defer decision to impact the outcome.

Give Davis and Shakir 3 more weeks. If they are still struggling go get Sanders out of retirement. He's cheap, knows the system, and can compliment Diggs/Davis right away.

From the time you could choose to defer to 2018, the win rate if you win the toss and defer was 51.8%. And that is with the Patriots choosing that strategy 95% of the time during the Brady era likely skewing the win rate. What that means is choosing to defer or receive the ball only matters on message boards. Other than providing a subject to argue about, it is a meaningless decision.

First weekend call with the new job. 1 PM start gives me a chance of being done rounding and see the game. In Josh we must trust. Go Bills!!!!

I'd rather see Basham at DE and Miller at OLB in a 4-3.

I'm sure they were all given a memo from the NFL to keep quiet. Al mentioned it for a moment just after the first replay then pivoted quickly to "back injury"

If Dane is another week or two, who starts opposite Elam this week? While most of us wanted a veteran corner, losing both Jackson and Benford in back to back weeks is unexpected. Benford was playing at a high enough level they must have felt ok not signing a vet.

Bills WR are fine. No need for OBJ nor a low effort bad hands guy that can't crack the lineup in NY. No thanks. I didn't even want Kumerow on the roster so don't care much that he is inured. If they want to go run heavy with a blocking WR, split Knox, Sweeney or Morris out there.

Whoa...slow down tiger. He is 83 sacks behind Bruce. As many will point out Bruce did that primarily as a 3-4 DE at a time where pass attempts per game was far lower than now. Miller started as an off ball OLB edge rusher. He has developed into a great 4-3 DE. Also if Watt was healthy, I'm not sure Miller would be best this season let alone all time. Regardless Miller has been fantastic and I love how they are using him and keeping him fresh for the playoffs.

No one in the history of sports ever said the offense held the ball too long.

Nice catch. I was too lazy to look it up

Elam played great. When White comes back Jackson is going to the bench. Elam needs experience so he is solid in the playoffs.

Kept the Bills off balance? What does that even mean? Its nonsense. TOP was 2:1, yards was almost 2:1. Bills failed to a FG, a snap, a pick 6, and to call a QB sneak at the goal line. None of those mistakes were because the Dolphins had the Bills off balance.

Please explain how the coaching staff let us down?
