5) Coleman being mugged on the 2pt try and nearly stripped of his jersey was egregious Defensive Holding
6) Completely agree. He was really hurt by that hit & I think his injury will be listed with the League
I’m still trying to sort out how that wasn’t called. I understand that it’s week 1 and the refs are still getting their ish together like the teams… but it was blatantly obvious with the jersey stretching. The only rational I had was that Hussey decided to keep the flags low like it was a playoff game. 🤷♂️
As for Oliver, the whole defense may not have shown up ready to rock, but Oliver was a problem for the Ravens. This defense has needed someone to step up in big moments. Oliver did several times in that game. Let’s hope he keeps this up.

Can they add him to the sex offender registry as well?
Would be interesting…. I can only imagine a team parking a “make a wish” kid in the red zone or moving them along the sideline to keep him off the field.

As others have said, Clark was only available because the Packers wanted Parsons. If the Packers had been interested in trading Clark before they had a chance at Parsons, they would have traded him months or weeks ago.
How do you know that Clark would be better than any of the Bills current DTs -- or even fit the Bills defense? I've heard him described as a nose tackle while the Bills use 1-tech and 3-tech DTs. Today's defenses are much more complex than in the past, so an excellent player in one type of defense might not do so well in another.
Oh, yeah, and stop using every opportunity to instruct Brandon Beane on how to do his job.
He’s played NT, 1T, 3T, and 5T for GB over the years, although I doubt he has the juice for that anymore. The Packers were probably going to part ways with Clark after this season so they included him in the deal to sweeten the pot and unload his contract before signing Parsons.
Completely agree that GB wasn’t going to trade him without need. That said, he might be available mid year if The Cowgirls tank and Jerruh decides to unload guys for draft capital.

Since Allen has been in the league, the Bills have averaged allowing 19 PPG in the 9 postseason games when they aren’t playing the Chiefs. They have averaged allowing 33 PPG in the 4 games when they are. Is it just a giant coincidence that the Bills only forget how to play defense against the Chiefs, or could it possibly be that Mahomes and company are just on another level when the season is on the line?
Some weight should definitely be placed on McD being one of Reid's protégés. It seems like Reid just knows his system as well as McD does, and it’s probably good that McD brought some new coaching blood in on that side of the ball. On top of that this team doesn’t really have any guys on defense who can elevate and play above the scheme which makes life easier for opposing OCs.

It might have exploded in the moment. But if we still ended up Drafting Christian Benford, Khalil Shakir, James Cook, and Terrel Bernard - plus we had extra picks where we could do more than we did, I think we'd be just fine.
It slays me when people complain over the miss of Kaiir Elam in Round 1. We ended up with 4 starting core team talents that we ended up giving second contracts to in that Draft. That's an insane haul.
It’s basically the same deal as the 09’ draft. They hit on Eric Wood, Byrd, and Levitre. Plus they nabbed Garrison Sanborn as a UDFA…. But…. Everyone will always remember selecting Maybin instead of Orakpo. However, if they had drafted Orakpo everyone would have been pissed they drafted Levitre instead of Shady McCoy. 🤷♂️

The best backup QBs are usually on bad teams. They usually have two marginal starters during it out for the starting position or a top rookie QB prospect and an aging vet or gap starter. With JA17 clearly entrenched as the franchise $55MM man this team doesn’t have the opportunities or the money to attract one of those guys. As a result Trubisky is essentially as good as it gets unless they hit on a draft and develop player like Matt Hasselbeck, Kirk Cousins, etc.

In some instances, and fields, yes. But there are still cases where those who work hard, and keep their heads down, get the recognition and advancement they deserve.
It still matters though. You get recognition from certain individuals, they get promoted and/ switch employers, then offer you higher pay, promotion, etc to move up with them. It’s earned nepotism, but still a result of who you know.
-
They’ve done this before…. Hire a former O or D coordinator to work with the opposing side and help prep the unit while assisting with the scout team they’re going against. It’s not the worst idea if ownership has the cash. Plus, LaFluer gives buddies - like Salah - soft landings.

Quick reminder that Benford is very, very good, him NOT having sticky coverage would be more concerning with respect to his expected performance for the season
People seem to forget that he got paid for a reason. I’m happy to hear that getting paid didn’t result in him slacking off, and he showed up ready to ball.

Yeah, I think if you are talking about superstar like outside of the lines.. meaning media attention, I agree... then again, what LT gets Papa John's commercials LOL... although, I think Papa John's or some food company should sign him... I can see him at a table with like 8 pizza's smacking someone that wanted a slice 😆 Like
"Papa John's pizza's are so good you might even try to steal a slice from Dion Dawkins..." then he lays the lumber on the dude trying to grab a slice... I shoulda been in advertising LOL....
Plenty of options. Even internet security or VPN services…. Try to hack JA17’s computer and “Ger Dion’d”

Yeah, I would not say he has the potential... I would say he already is... as much as Tackles can be super stars... his is pretty elite at his position currently.
And to top that off he’s been rather media savvy doing interviews on national shows, etc. As far as offensive linemen go Dawkins is pretty recognizable to all NFL fans.
That said, real “superstars” tend to be known to people who aren’t fans of their particular sport. If we’re being honest - by that scale - the most well known name on this bills roster aside from Josh Allen is Damar Hamlin. There just aren’t many NFL players that the average American could pick out in a crowd. You generally need to be in a movie, national ad campaign, or get national news coverage.-

While I wouldn't argue the defense played well in this most recent AFCCG.... it did "hold up" and make a couple of plays when it needed to in order to give the offense the ball and a chance to win the game. They couldn't get it done. It is not as simple as "improve the defense" to me. They still need a game breaker in the pass game for those situations. And they haven't.
They also need one to emerge on the defensive side of the ball. If we’re really lucky Bosa & Milano roll into the playoffs healthy, and one of these rookies proves to be a big game big moment guy.

We can't do this forever can we? Even if it has been true some years. It largely wasn't last year, but some people expect 100% health at this point. Would it surprise you this year if Benford gets hurt? How about Bernard? Who is backing Bernard up (hint, get Klein's number ready). If the defense is only as strong as those players we have a really big problem with our defensive philosophy.
That’s why youth matters along with scheme, etc. The Eagles were exceptionally lucky with injuries last year, and that’s often a common trait with SB participants.

you're fixed on how many teams passed on this or that player as though every team has exactly the same needs.
You are the only person alive who would agree that Tre White would have had a bigger impact than TJ Watt. This is just laughable. Watt is a wrecker, disrupter. White was a good DB for 4 years---ending 4 years ago. The cut him loose after his achilles (his second career threatening injury)....only to bizarrely sign him years later after 2 mediocre/dud years on 2 teams, having played only 21 games since 2021. I'll leave it to you to revisit Watt's stats.
Huh?
Whaley was fired a day after the 2017 draft. Not sure what you are getting at.
I agree that Mahomes probably doesn't win a single SB with McD as HC in Buffalo.
I doubt they saw TJ Watt as a good fit for their scheme when he was coming out. It’s a big reason why teams pass on certain guysIn hindsight that was a bad choice, but hindsight is what allows us to know that Watt would have a HOF level career while White would have his career derailed from injuries.
As a Bills fan I’m not mad at the choice they made. They drafted an all pro corner who got injured instead of a pass rusher who may not have fit the scheme…
Now if I was a Packers fan… I’d be livid, especially since Watt went to UW, similar scheme to Pittsburgh and they traded the pick right before to Cleveland and drafted Kevin King.

Wow, it sounds as though you've gone through a lot...but the question is, with a back injury at almost 30, were you out there playing football 2 weeks from the injury?
No. I didn’t play football into my late 20’s.
Now, if you’d asked if I’d competed in a judo tournament two weeks out from a soft tissue injury to my back the answer would have been yes.
To get back to my initial point…
All combat sports - of which football is one - damage the body over time. Everyone’s physiology is unique, but there comes a point when the traumas don’t heal as fast, and they start stacking up. For most people that happens around thirty; sometimes it’s 28, and sometimes it’s 34, but it happens to us all.
1 hour ago, EasternOHBillsFan said:Back injuries vary. A back injury which requires surgery is TOTALLY different than a back injury that doesn't. Many who has experienced a back injury, like myself, don't want to have surgery because in many cases it ends up being a worse outcome. I don't think this is a fair comparison since he said that he had surgery.
It’s definitely not a straight comparison. In my case it was a necessity, and I had the best possible outcome…. Pain free for about a decade afterwards, no complications, and to this day that injury just throbs when the weather shifts. That’s the exception and not the rule though.

OK...but were you slamming your body full force into other large athletic men for hours every week and also having them slam into you and land on you and likely try to wrench you around and aggravate it? 'Cuz I don't think that helps.
And also, there are back injuries and back injuries and none of us know which this was.
Not with the same level athletes, but kind of. I’ve spent two multi-month stints in ICU from car accidents, and spent 15 years doing judo around that and a blue collar job. I also played football until the first car crash. I have pins, plates, and screws in several limbs/joints along with having two vertebrae fused. I recovered well for a long time. However, around 32 the ability to recover from injuries was just too much, and I switched everything up…. I’m a tai chi in the park guy now. The injuries add up over time like dividends, and we all have a point where our ability to recover from repetitive trauma declines. Rasul likely hit that point.

Yeah you still don’t get it. Those guys who are riding the bench aren’t good enough relative to their NBA peers, but they’re much more skilled basketball players than Moss ever was. Could Moss have focused on basketball and reinvented his game to be a perimeter player? There’s nothing that suggests he couldn’t have - other than his admission to being discouraged playing amongst legit high school basketball players - but Moss at his skill level coming out of high school wasn’t a future NBA prospect. You know this.
Some people forget that Moss had an example of this right in front of his face during high school — Jason Williams, Moss’ point guard. The guy got to see what top basketball talent and practice took every day in a friend and teammate of his; a guy who was ultimately drafted in the top 10 and had a very notable NBA career. They won a state basketball championship together, but as athletic as Moss was it was Williams skill and basketball mind that drove that team.

It's right there in the injury report. He injured his back against the Rams in December. Missed two games, played the week after, limited snaps week 18 when we were resting folks.
I dunno about you, but when I've injured my back, 4 weeks out is when it starts to improve from screaming at me constantly no matter what I do, to allowing me to sit politely in certain positions and stand politely, and only screaming at me when I go from one to the other. By 6 weeks out I can walk OK if I'm smooth and careful and the screaming my back does has improved to a sharp yelp or 3.
Football players are a different breed, but I don't think you need a magnifying glass to connect the dots there.Forgot that he injured his back. Honestly, back injuries were pretty quick recoveries for me when I was his age…. Now though…. Just give me the old yeller treatment and put me out of my misery. Though to be fair, at this point of my life I have to wrap up my joints like Kareem in 88’ just to mow the lawn.

Overall, maybe so.
But I think with regard to production in games against better teams they need to threaten more on the boundary to open up the field for the slot/TE routes.
We found that out in Baltimore last season. Shakir missed the Houston game but it was a similar situation........the Texans took away the Shakir/Kincaid area of the field and Allen failed to connect with Hollins and the result was disastrous offense.
They needed and got better play on the boundary to beat KC at home and to produce like they did on the road at LAR and Detroit. They got it but it didn't come easy. Wasn't the walk-in TD days of Diggs/Brown/Davis.
Even on paper it's not a surety that they are better outside. We hope Coleman is better than Hollins(because that's likely his role) and that Palmer threatens defense's more than Cooper........but teams were legitimately concerned about Cooper because he'd been one of the most explosive outside WR of this era.
Brady did a pretty solid job pressuring the boundary with Cook and Johnson, particularly against Detroit. That’s too much scheme and effort to be perpetually sustained though. Hopefully that Palmer, Coleman and Moore can make enough boundary plays early in the year to create space inside.

I wouldn't. He is toast that is burnt on both sides.
Rasul definitely hit a wall if there wasn’t some unreleased injury. Plus, I think a lot of folks here are focusing on Dane Jackson’s performance away from the team more than his performance in McDermott’s scheme. He’s a serviceable backup on this squad. Tre I’m not so sure about. I’m honestly surprised they brought him back, but if he can be a coach on the field for these rookies during camp and the preseason there’s some hidden value.
