Ethan in Cleveland

Is anyone else worried Belichick flips the script and goes with a frequent play action passing attack. I would. Edmunds bites so hard on play action. The middle of the field would be wide open.

Lost in all the snubs is the fact Stefon Diggs just made his second ProBowl with the Bills. He is such a great player. In my mind he is already #3 WR of all time with Buffalo. I know the career stats with Buffalo are far behind others, but in terms of talent Reed, Moulds, and Diggs are my top 3 right now. Two or maybe three more years at this level and he will be second only to Reed.

What is he? He is a former MVP. He is a winner. He carries his team. Jusy like Allen does. When Josh runs its ok but when Lamar does it is somehow different? Are yards gained different for white QBs compared to black QBs? I can't understand how Lamar is voted to probowl over Allen this year. It makes no sense. But the comments about Lamar not being able to pass is just racist bull####. Allen has about 4K more yards and 14 more passing TDs than Jackson, but Jackson has 13 less INTs. They are both great QBs that carry their teams. I know. What a joke. Any street free agent LB can do what he does. Hell he isn't even the best special team guy on the Bills and I'd cut every one of them to save money for next year.

Bills and Patriots have an interesting history. When both teams were dominating the other was mostly terrible. There were a few games that all revolved around Bledsoe with the Pats and with the Bills when they may have been rivals. Patriots during the last 20 years had only a few rivals and they were Steelers, Colts, and whichever NFC team made the SB.

ProBowl voting is an absolute joke. Edmunds was terrible last year and not much better this year. No other QB in the league is carrying his team and his coaching staff on their back like Allen is. Absolute travesty. Knox should be first alternate to Kelce. Dawkins is having his worst year since his rookie year. Poyer is having another great year and should have been in Bass should have been first alternate Pay attention to this board. Every poster that defends Edmunds brings up his pro bowl selections as some sort of fact that he isn't as terrible as we all see watching him play.

You are joking right? There are two rookies playing significant minutes and Brown would be on the bench if the line was not so bad. Bass and Davis are the only contributors from last year's class and Davis is now only getting starter minutes. Most of the rest of the team is made up of guys that have been in the league for 3 or more years and many of them far longer than 3 years. Most of the team's important position players are on their second contracts.

Does that make us 0-9 in SuperBowls???

Agree. Kumerow has done nothing. With Cole out Sanders is critical. Not sure why Daboll does not trust McKenzie. Has has produced as a WR. Much more than Andre Roberts ever did.

Any word on if Sanders can play?

Like the first meeting, Bills have the better QB even on a bum foot. Bills win if the coaches don't screw it up. And Covid doesn't take out more guys...

You really think it is play calling? When Daboll calls a run and it goes for a yard is that really the play call? I would concur with you on the fad pass to Diggs against Tampa on 3rd down. Hated that call but almost the exact play scored a TD last week. Also JA missed a TD pass to Davis in the Pats game. I think it is 90% execution and 10% play calling. As for play calling I would prefer a little more pocket movement and a screen pass if they are around the 15 yard line. And lastly more Knox!

Ford returning from injury going into year 3 was the key and he has disappointed. Bringing back Williams was good move at the time. The only different move I make and many on here were posting in real time was to take C/G in round two instead of Basham.

Yes I know that was my point. Frazier is doing everything everyone else is doing. The lack of qb sacks is not scheme its talent up front. And a little bad luck as they get pressure but don't get sacks

I think they do everything you can imagine and more. They drop defenders in coverage and bring pressure from the linebackers. They rush Edmunds from the middle and from the outside. They stunt. I will say I can't recall a single jail break blitz where they send 7 guys and play quarters behind them.

Addition by subtraction. I would like to see more Basham and less Epenesa anyways.

Close your eyes and imagine just for a moment if that was a black WR that told the opposing coach to F off? Can you imagine the media comments about how the player needs to grow up, is immature, is hurting his team, needs to be taught a lesson, is a thug, or is a poor role model.

I dont know why either but he just makes more plays. Let Sanders and Beasley rotate in the slot. Sanders was getting open deep consistently and JA has found him at times. He can still be a weapon but Davis commands a few more snaps per game

Agreed Home game so crowd noise was not a factor. Relatively safe game to give him a shot at LT.

They had the highest number of players opt out last year. Maybe they take it more serious than others. Maybe like everything else BB does, the team is meticulous in practice to follow best practice to keep players healthy. Maybe it's just luck.

Exactly. They aren't trotting out Davis and Kumerow on third and goal against the Bucs. That said the OP is correct. Hate the fade pattern. Give JA options.

Kelly had Thurman Thomas and Kenneth Davis to score on the ground

So much for Brown at LT it seems. Hopefully he is good enough for RT. I would still most likely draft OT in the first round and move Dawkins to LG. However if a C/G falls in the first round I would take him and play him at guard for a year and keep Morse for another year.

If I'm Baltimore I franchise him for a year. They are in a SB window and overpaying the QB spot for one year will be ok. He is a very very good player but he is not worthy of a top 3 contract. Top 7 yes not top 3. If he and his agent were sensible they would take 5th highest contract five year fully guaranteed. Take a little less money but get 100% of it.

I couldn't help but look at the score. Are Bills dominating as much as the score suggests? How is Brown holding up at LT?

Obviously its not one loss. Its the fact the loss almost assuredly knocks them out of the playoffs.
