Ethan in Cleveland

Apparently accuracy can be taught/improved. It helps that the WRs have had only a few drops all year so far and have made some amazing grabs.

I know it's a punchline on this board but if we look beyond the guy that said it, it is mostly true. The defense got gashed today, but look at the scores around the league. 13 teams scored 30 or more points and four of them lost. Through three games the offenses appear ahead of the defenses. Is that lack of hitting in camp and no pre-season? The NFL has adopted much of what works well in college on offense and NFL defenses don't have much of an answer. So let's take a moment and recognize the Bills are 3-0 and have made huge strides in a short time. Allen is a star. A reckless one at times but a true star. Daboll is getting guys wide open even as he finds the right balance of run/pass with Allen and the entire offense The drops that plagued this team for years have been replaced with amazing catches. The WR group is the best in the NFL only two years removed from the absolute worst. Team penalties are much improved. McD has been more aggressive and his clock management has gotten better. The defense even while getting gashed and giving up chunks has not given up huge scoring plays. On to Vegas and an important AFC game.

Well it would help if Morse snapped the ball when the defenders jump. Twice Allen got them in the neutral zone and no snap. They didn't jump enough to make contact but enough to get a free play.

Yes. Yeldon was better than Gore and he is better than Moss. Devin had 4.8 YPC compared to 2.8 YPC behind the same line. And before you say anything about fumbles, Yeldon has a 0.009 fumble rate compared to Gore 0.011 and Singletary 0.019. Yeldon should be playing. Let Moss watch for a few more weeks at least.

In 2018 McD took over the defensive play calling for a half a game to shake things up.

OP premise is incorrect as Kroft had possession of the ball. Perera pointed that out and it was just a bad call.

Devin was great. Moss is too slow. Should be Yeldon and Singletary the rest of the year. Even if they are stubborn and want Moss playing it should be a 75/25 split on touches.

3rd and 22 to Beasley Diggs catch on the sideline - one of the best passes Allen has ever thrown TD pass to Lee Smith. That was going to be a tackle eligible but the Bills player on the left side got tangled up with the defense. Josh stayed with it and made the play to Smith look easy. Milano sack - I give Milano a lot of crap and still don't think they should sign him long term but that was a perfectly executed play that often ends up in the QB sidestepping an out of control rusher. Very nicely done. 3rd and forever pass to Diggs to set up 4th and 9

Yeah that was really close. A fraction of a second faster and that is a pick 6. He read it perfectly. Can't fault him too much though. It was a great tackle for loss against the best YAC WR in the game.

Tre is the least of their problems. No pass rush all day except on a nicely execute blitz by Milano. Running right at Harrison, Epenesa, and Murphy for huge chunks of yardage is a major problem.

It was a desperation heave and he would not have caught it if he did not shove the DB in the back.

In three years not one reporter has ever asked McD or Beane if they would consider moving him outside.

We all want Edmunds to succeed. I thought he had a chance to be a great linebacker when they drafted him. We have used his age as an excuse for three seasons now. He will never be a truly great middle linebacker. He just lacks the instincts. They have no other options this year but they need to make a change in 2021. For 2021 he should be moved to OLB/edge and they should draft or sign a replacement middle line backer. I think he would be an All-Pro at OLB.

At first I thought Dawkins got wind knocked out as he fell. But it also looks like he got knee to head so more worried about a concussion.

Yup! Said it last year and was told to look at the stats. #2 in yards and points. But they played a terrible schedule and collapsed in the playoffs. This defense needs help soon. They are too old at DE and too small at DT. Bad combination playing in front of a MLB that still can't figure out where to be.

No idea what you are talking about. I said the PI call was a gift in the moment but when I saw the replay I agree it was a good call. It could have gone the other way. If that call was against the Bills we would be screaming the WR initiated the contact all the way down the field. The INT call was nuts. Not sure what they saw on the field to even call it an INT and certainly did not see a replay that showed Kroft losing possession of the ball to the DB.

He was solid today. Knocked the XPs dead center with a nice little hook.

Perhaps you can define character for me then? If you define it as rising up to the occasion, then the Bills and Rams offenses certainly did.

Agree. Their D collapsed as well.

I was happy with them giving Winters a shot. At this point I think they got it right in the beginning . Williams is servicable at RT and Spain/Ford are probably the best guard combo.

Agree that is seems stupid. But it's still the rule. Donald didn't even have him by the back of the shoulder pads anyways.

Really? One would think that character would show up on 3rd an 11, 1st and 20, or 3rd and 8 when they needed a stop. Didnt show up until Allen and Daboll manufactured a win.

They need to trade for a pass rusher. Posted it last week but was killed for it. Everyone saying Fitz just got the ball out quick. No pass rush from front four all day. I think LA got away with at least three holds but for the most part the Bills front 4 was dominated.

Poor job by McVeigh in the first half. Bills had no answer for their ground game and McVeigh kept asking Goff to throw. 4th down call was dumb. Int call had nothing to do with the defense. The defense made three decent plays all game - Milano sack, the Wallace pick, and the 4th down stop(decent coverage but bad pass by Goff too). They gave up 3rd and 11 and 3rd and 8 when it mattered.

It was
