Ethan in Cleveland

Has nothing to do with stats. I don't even know how many tackles he was credited with. Don't care. I watched the plays. Go back and watch them too. You will see what I see.

That is my assessment as well. He is nothing special. The Singletary run on third down in the red-zone he missed his block terribly. If he kicks out one of those guys Singletary can cut it back up for the first down. Ford would win that job back easily unless they are forced to kick him out to RT.

No doubt you bring him back for 2021. But I just don't see him as the long term answer at MLB.

This defense is truly transformed with Milano playing. I just rewatched the game. He made multiple plays and good open field tackles. Maybe it is this scheme. Maybe he is just that good. Beane can't let him walk out the door. In an ideal world the Bills and Milano would realize they are both good for each other and hammer out a reasonable deal. Maybe with COVID and a static or falling cap number, there won't be too much money to throw at Milano by other teams. If they can't find common ground then they should tag him. Previously I said let Milano walk and use the tag for Williams at RT. Now I say do whatever they can to keep him in Buffalo for another year. Edmunds was terrible again. He took bad angles again. When he sheds a block someone let me know because it will be his first. The runs up the gut were in part due to him guessing the wrong hole and just getting blown out of the play. There is no way he played anywhere close to a ProBowl level this year. Am I missing something? Are you guys seeing something I am not? He was moved to OLB for a handful of plays. I get it 9 points, why mess with what's working. But what happens when they play a competent offense that can run the ball?

The pass to Roberts was the attempt. Jones was the last option on that play. They will find a way to get Singletary, Roberts, or maybe Bates a TD catch next week.

Play to win. Knock Miami out of the playoffs. This team could use some reps in bad weather too. Find a way to get Neasley his 34 yards to get to 1000 and then let him rest his ankle and sit Poyer for the protocol. Otherwise play the starters. Hope they can do to Tua what other teams have done, capitalize on some short fields and be selective when playing back-ups. You can instruct Roberts to only FC punts. You can put Jones back to return kicks. You can sub in Norman for White. You can sit Hughes for Murphy. There is a lot they can do to protect folks while still going for the win.

Bill Cowher's playoff record is terrible and the refs gifted him his lone SB win. He is not as overrated as Tony Dungy but he is close.

Moslty true but he did have a few great moves. He drafted Gronk who will be in the conversation for top 5 TE of all time. Had Hernandez too before he killed someone. Brought Moss to New England on the cheap too.

Wasn't even with a yard of hitting a player. So odd.

They were always just another team. They just had Brady that made all the difference.

Can anyone name a Bills assistant coach that left Buffalo to be a HC? Only one I can think of is Marchibroda.

Its mental not skill. He can improve and be more consistent. They will need to add another TE in the off season assuming Kroft walks. But they do not need to draft a TE high in the draft.

And Johnny might get Ali back ...

I thought so. My feelings on Edmunds are well known.

Was it Edmunds that whiffed Newton TD run?

Hopefully neurosurgeon pulled him out.

Milano is such a more instinctual linebacker than Edmunds. Hope he can stay healthy and both he and the Bills can find common ground on a reasonable contract.

Knox is still the best TE they have had in decades. Too soon to give up on him. Catching the ball can get better. His speed and athleticism will be hard to replace.

That has to be 8 or 9 dropped TD passes or TDs called back by penalty.

He wasn't the primary target on that play.

They are rushing 3 and dropping 8

Elite speed and it is a foot race to the first down marker. But for most running backs I agree they defended it too well.

Nope

Agreed

I like Riddick and even Griese is tolerable
