Isn't Ingram 46? When he is on the field I can't tell him apart from Benford.
-
Detroit has made a strong comeback. Great sports town with all 4 major sports plus some great college teams nearby.
-
Hopefully Bishop has learned a few things since he last played.

Smoot and Spector Practice Windows Opening 12/11/24
Ethan in Cleveland replied to bills742's topic in The Stadium Wall
Yes but it was a walk through not a real practice -
Detroit silver and light blue is one of the best looks in NFL. Black looks terrible.
-
R u sure? I think 2nd tie breaker is common opponents and that is Ravens, Colts, Jets, and Chiefs. Like I said in another thread very likely we are rooting for Chiefs on Christmas day!

I think the worry is that McDermott's decisions may be blinded by something else. In particular Hamlin's death and recovery, and then whatever beef he has with Elam that may not be performance related(pure speculation). Our issues are he sticks with guys like Trent Murphy who are so bad they aren't even in the league after starting for three years. And then there is Teller and Peterman. He has had enough horrible personel decisions that it is not unreasonable to question his decisions.
-
McD seemed a bit short, testy, and defensive in his PC. Don't think he likes being questioned about Elam. Then admits his team didn't have the intensity to match Rams. Easy to blame the coaches but these guys are professionals. They should not need to be motivated to play. Even I give McD a pass on that. Followed by we are "having a darn good season". He said the same thing after KC playoff loss last January. I think he has heard the quips about wasting Allen... Media narrative is changing on how good his defense is to how he is wasting Allen...

Opinions on this wonderful 2024 Bills season at 10-3
Ethan in Cleveland replied to DeepPass's topic in The Stadium Wall
Same thing as it has been for four years... Coaching Lack of pass rush Injuries -
I think he still leads the team in playoff INTs. Give the kid a chance.

RB screens— are they back!?

Hope so! This week i worry more about defending them than actually running them. -
Smoot and Spector Practice Windows Opening 12/11/24

Smoot would be huge. Pretty sure he moved ahead of Epenesa on depth chart before he was hurt. Spector probably takes Buffalo Joe spot. Spector can at least play MLB in a pinch. -
Yeah I think this is correct. Since we are 0-1 against Ravens and at worst they would be 1-1, I think the Steelers win the tie breaker.

This is so true. OJ ran 143.1 yards per game which is 12 yards per game more than Dickerson. Saquon is having a great season but he is only averaging 124.8 yards per game. That is not even top 10 in NFL history. It's currently 14th. OJ has two seasons in the top 6.
-
Its amazing what a great WR can do for an offense. Cooper got 14 targets just like a #1 should. Not this BS of everyone eats.
-
If Bills go 3-1, KC would need to go 1-3 to catch them. That isn't happening. At this point you may need to win out just to stay at #2. There is a very good chance we are rooting for KC in week 16 to beat the Steelers.
-
I get it. I would choose a different path but I understand where you and others are coming from.
-
Outstanding!
-
I understand but there are more things in life than money. On the flip side( I love arguing with myself) college basketball is not nearly as popular as it was 20 years ago even for teams like Kentucky, UNC, Duke and certainly teams from the former BigEast
-
If I'm UNC, I say no. They are a basketball school with a decent football program. UNC is an excellent academic school. Stay in your lane and be who you are. Chasing some football success threatens your core identity. It's not worth it

Ok he is very good. 35 points is an arbitrary cut off. Bills defense only gave up 22 points against Texans in the playoff game but it was a complete defensive collapse in the second half. Last year Bills defense gave up game losing drives to Jets and Patriots. Both under 35 points. I assume you are including Bills Eagles from last year where D gave up 37 points. In that game Josh walked off the field with the lead twice and the D lost it both times. I will give McDermott some credit. He owns the Dolphins. One of a few teams his scheme holds up well. I actually hope we get the Chiefs in the playoffs. I am much more afraid of what Bengals, Chargers, and Ravens would do to Bills defense. With Josh and this offense all we need is slight below average defensive play and they can beat anyone. What Josh can't overcome is terrible special teams and abysmal defense like we saw last weekend.

It's not one week. That's the issue. It's the pattern. Everything that a fan should worry about with this team was on display in one game. Terrible defense all around. No pass rush. Can't stop the run. Couldn't stop 3rd down. Bad coaching. Horrible coaching. Another decent QB with a good HC shredding the defense. Even a little QB accuracy issues in the first half. We've seen this all before. Our only hope is Allen is superhuman and we get a few lucky bounces on defense in the playoffs. On a positive note, they actually successfully ran a High School screen play! It looked beautiful with a little eye candy fake pass to Shakir to the right and perfect blocking to the left. As good of a screen we have seen since the KGun.
