G-Dubs, I honestly respect the comment above and I do get it, and I do hope so.
However, to put a different perspective on it, please allow me to re-write it this way:
"I'm wondering if we saw that hot knife just straight up figure some things out when cutting through butter that can carry over when it needs to cut through wood."
I can understand your sentiment, but this 2-4 team (pats) is struggling to keep its head above water presently, I would think that hot knife will be burning some wood this upcoming Sunday afternoon, jmo... 😁

They'll have to eat some salary to move him. I wonder if Terry is keeping track of the amount of his money Beane has wasted on guys like Corey Coleman, Murphy, etc.
Yeah, because all the other GMs hit on 100% of the guys they bring in...

Not a good sign if a few injuries cause that huge of a difference. Not a good sign if a team needs to stay perfectly healthy to compete. Green Bay won a Super Bowl with something like 17 players on IR. If a team cannot effectively navigate injuries during a course of a season and still maintain a level of play that isn't a huge dropoff that is a problem...especially when it isn't related to a starting QB being injured.
Its not a few injuries, Levi, Norman, White, Milano, Edmunds, Ford, Feliciano, Moss, Knox, Brown, that’s ten starters, that’s near 50% of our fielded starters, and that’s not counting other backups players that are injured, it makes a huge difference, citing one example of a team lucky enough to be able to overcome that many injuries is not the norm by any means. Could we have done better, sure, but considering the number of dinged up guys, not by much.
Go Bills!!!

Depends what they do in the offseason prior to the draft - assuming they get pick #1.
I think they make a play for Joe Brady and try and make it a desirable destination. Continue to rebuild the line - Thuney would look good next to becton. Try and make a play for Skura. Maybe see about getting beckhams contract for pennies on the dollar. Drake/Fournette should be much cheaper than a year ago. Lot of FA WRs - Fuller, Jones, Golladay, JuJu. Trade darnold for whatever you can get. Can dump crowder, fant, van roten, anderson, for like 5M dead money and free up even more space.
Essentially - you rebuild that offense from ground up to surround lawrence with talent. That way you can use the other 1st, 2nd, and 3rds for young defensive help. You get mosely back, can draft a corner or two - add a pass rusher somehow. If they use their money right they can make it a quick 2 year rebuild and not ruin lawrence.
Unless the Jets get a HC and a GM who work together, and then get the owner to just fade into the background none of what you correctly stated will come to fruition. It would be a-shame for them as the potential for vast improvement is certainly there. As a Bills fan I hope they screw the pooch yet again.

Very very likely a jump in performance. It's what happens with nearly any team getting back multiple injured guys, unless other guys get injured in their places. Particularly as the injured guys are crucial and gathered together among certain position groups.
The question will likely be how much of one. Big or small?
Fingers crossed for “big”
but even a more modest improvement will certainly benefit both the “D” and “O” and as those guys get back into game level fitness it will help bring in the next three consecutive wins.
Has anyone heard anything more on John Brown? We really miss that guy on the O side,

I’m thinking with the projected weather, that with Allen using a short to intermediate passing game combined with an active run game we can pick them apart, in essence bring death by a thousand cuts to the pats as a game plan, much like the have done to us for nearly twenty years. With the team on an upswing health wise I think we as well can bring some heat to bear on Seattle down the road. I am confident that the bump in the road we saw was just that, a bump in the road.
Go Bills!!!

Imo, The reason for the drop off in play has been the culmination of multiple injured players, but with Mongo, Levi etc coming back and others having some time to heal up I think we will see a better product on the field going forward. I think we take care of business this Sunday and in effect take control of the AFCE, and move forward with a high level of confidence. How do you guys see this going forward?

Good on Jerry!
Go Bills!!!

Run and short to intermediate passes, pick them apart like they did to us for Almost twenty years, we need to apply the death by a thousand cuts game plan against them, it will demoralize them, we will ride them hard and put them away wet...
Go Bills!!!

Feel like Levi is a guy who everyone always wants to replace, and then we miss him when he’s gone.
True enough on that,

Most underrated guy on this team IMO.
Guy is a beast.
This ^^^
Beasley is often not mentioned when our receivers are talked about, he is a crucial part of our receiver Corp. and deserves some love.
Go Bills!!!

Tre will do a back door payment to the sellers to compensate them for the “financial damages” law suit... and they will all live happily ever after...

Earlier this year one of our members here posted that rotating O line guys like they do with the D line was a possibility for the Bills this season. The poster was in effect shouted down.
Go Bills!!!

What we are missing is a whole bunch of players that are injured/ playing injured/ a D line man named Star...
If all those guys were playing, and fully healthy we would not have the issues that are currently plaguing us. Like it or not injures matter and the are the reason we are struggling.
Jmo...
Go Bills!!!

How much better could be we be if the RBs produced more; that's my point?
Add in Allen’s TD runs,
It doesn’t matter who scores the running TDs, RB or QB, as long as they are being scored, the real number is every running TD scored regardless of who does the running.

Because they are different positions and have different expectations, and the scoring is different. It's no tricky to understand.
I think Its more like folks having misguided expectations,

I told you I wasn't getting on Bass. I disagreed with you comparing it to WR catching 6 of 8 targets
Not that it matters so much, but then, why are kickers considered to be performing poorly when they put up percentages that are on par with other point scorers such as receivers, and paid so little when they are so needed in clutch situations? Its an odd relationship that kickers have with their teams and fans...

I may have been way too generous in my prediction....
Yikes dude. Just take the L that you so clearly deserve and stop pretending like this thing that was clearly a big deal to you before the game, isn't. You look a fool.

Yeah. I don’t. And I understand that he is a CB who excels in man coverage and we were moving to a zone, primarily C-3 scheme so we probably didn’t want to pay him to see how he played bail technique. I get it, but I always hate moving on from elite players because they don’t fit a new scheme. It seems to me like great coaches should be able to adapt their scheme to maximize the impact of great players. It was probably just too late to salvage the relationship when McD got here. We were at a point where a franchise tag was our only option and that would’ve likely led to a disgruntled player on and off the field.
Yup, there are a lot of coaches that just can’t/won’t make adjustments in their schemes to accommodate the talent on hand, even our current guys screw this up to some degree. I’m thinking it’s a rare coach that has the mental flexibility to really do that well.

I think when you looked at the schedule before the year and you do now it's much tougher than expected. Almost every team is playing better than expected or getting hot before they play us.
Arizona is better than expected.
Seattle is better or at least Russ is
Chargers with Herbert is better...at least a tough game
San Fran...playing great all of a sudden
Miami is better than expected.
Titans...better than expected.
Pittsburgh...better than expected.
Its been a damn gauntlet already and ain't getting any easier.
If yer scared, say yer scared...
yup, it’s gonna be a knock down drag out thing for the remainder of the season, but all we gotta do is secure the AFCE and we make the playoffs, so we got that goin for us...
Go Bills!!!
With players coming back from injury/ healing up, do we see a jump in performance?
