Welcome back to the League Cam! They can win some games with Cam being their 3rd Rb that throws once in a while. McCarthy should never have been hired, but there they are. It’s amazing how much Jerry will spend to retain players and how quickly he will criticize them, but mediocre coaches are his thing and he won’t admit a mistake and fire them. How long did Garrett hold on? Then replace him with the definition of mediocre. It’s shocking honestly. What’s next? Hire Greg Roman for another run heavy O? C’mon man. They are getting what Jerry deserves.

No way Lamar is getting traded in season, the Ravens have a shot to compete this year. I personally think they are signing their own death warrant if they sign him long term, hence I’m hoping they do it.
Jimmy G, I wouldn’t make the move for, the 9ers should command a lot for him and he has a no trade clause so he has to agree. I can’t see him wanting to go be a lame duck.

I think they made a mistake with Howard.
I was surprised by the cut, but based on performance, it looks like the proper call. One game, a decent performance, I’m not convinced it isn’t just a circumstance where they didn’t have anybody better.

Packers? Horrible today
Cardinals? lol
Rams?
and right now Tampa does not look that good to me.
1-Buffalo
2-Chiefs
3-Chargers
4- Bengals
those are 4 best teams in NFL imo
Minnesota looks like top team in NFC to me
The Bills and Chefs look like they are in their own league.
-
AFC teams all look like trash so far, basically the Bills are going undefeated.

I noticed he was on the bench in the 4th quarter once the game was in hand. It's smart to limit his snaps if we want him to be fresh for 20 games
This is exactly why he was at 50%, he sat virtually the entire 4th.

Von Miller just equaled the number of sacks (2) that Hughes had in 17 games last season. Jerry could get pressure, he just wasn’t bendy, fast, or strong enough to seal the deal.
But he lead the league in pressure and sacks don’t mean that much, ya know other than the loss of distance and down, but a pressure is just as good.
Did I do I right Hughes defenders?

Very true GB, but Allen though raw at the start and had his share of boneheaded plays still displayed amazing athleticism, arm talent and overall intelligence. What has Tua shown outside of decent accuracy? They have no choice but to prop up their QB because they'll never get over the fact they took Tua over Herbert.
I thank them for that decision everytime I watch Herbert play, that kid is almost as athletic as JA and far more polished than Allen was at the same point. I still don’t see the killer instinct in him, but I’ll take playing Tua EVERY TIME over Herbert.-

He seemed to come off the field almost every time he made a big play - obviously the TD but the first down, some over hte middle stuff the next play he'd be on the sidelines for whatever reason.
He was pulling himself, hand was up after every catch.

What I saw was maybe MAYBE 2 runs that were called. Allen saw opportunity and went for it a number of times. I agree with the poster above who said take away the RPO (when you are up big).
The only one I was really concerned about was him hoping on one leg in the middle of the field as the other was tied up, that could have been disastrous.
Thing is, he’s so dangerous when he just plays ball and you see the absolute joy in his face when he wastes guys, it’s great. He’s going to have to cut back as time goes on, but I don’t foresee him stopping until he actually does get banged up unfortunately.
-
I’m actually fine with it, he played to win and put his team in position to succeed. The Rams were still playing to score, screw it.

The Rams just didn't disguise their pre-snap coverage good enough since Josh has a problem with that according to Steven Ruiz. 😂
I was thinking about that comment last night as Allen shredded the Rams.

Perhaps Settle and Jones contributed to the whole d-line containing the run more? Star wasn’t doing enough while hear, and Phillips isn’t known to be a run stopper. The whole d-line looks better and obviously Miller is a big part of that, but so are Settle, Jones, Phillips. It’s hard to give the credit to one guy, especially when the whole d-line produced last night. We need to see more over the next weeks to really begin to understand who are the true game wreckers outside of Miller. With all that being said, it’s sure nice having Phillips back!
All of this. Miller draws attention, but the guys inside were really getting after it. You have to wonder if the D is really this good or the Rams line was that bad. The Bills certainly whooped them, no doubt about that.-

Guess they shouldn’t have hidden their new weapon all pre-season.
I just don’t see it with these RBs. Motor is the clear cut lead guy, yet Moss gets all the work. For whatever reason they decided to draft a guy who was a back up in college, to a guy who’s not as good as Moss and expected him to be a big factor. Interesting strategy all around.

They can’t pay everybody beane is good but not that good
We knew this was coming whenever you draft well like beane Does eventually tough decisions have to be made to me Oliver is a must keep Gabe Davis is a must keep especially if they ball out this year they are young and still improving
Poyer if he’s reasonable could still get a couple of years extension I think Edmonds is gone he’s just gonna want too much money I absolutely believe that Bernard was drafted because of Edmonds
Oliver is not a must keep, he’s good, but completely replaceable, Buffalo fans over rate him so much it’s comical. Po is old enough to let walk. Davis will be interesting, if he emerges this year, he’s going to be tough to keep, but he hasn’t done anything yet, so let’s just see where it goes. They can sign Edmunds if they want.. I hope they want better, but Bernard is not in Edmunds league and I think Edmunds is mediocre.
32 minutes ago, John from Riverside said:Oh I don’t doubt that next year’s first pick probably is gonna be at linebacker beane just Always thinks a step ahead it will probably be a linebacker to compete with Bernard but I don’t think that Bernard is limited physically the big thing on him whenever we drafted him was that he was a coverage linebacker he’s just a rookie that’s all
No, Bernard is undersized for LB and he’s slow for his size, he’s extremely limited physically. He was drafted at least one if not 3 rounds earlier than necessary. They fell in love with his mental game and reached.

Allen is a huge hit, Ed Oliver was one of the best DTs in football last year and Dawson Knox is probably the second most talented young tight end in the game after Kyle Pitts. There is a point about whether he has hit on enough stars on days 1 and 2, I think that is fair, but Oliver and Knox taking the steps they took in year 3 kind of negates that argument too. I have made my point about positional value of three day two running backs elsewhere but I do that is worthy of discussion.
You also have to counter balance that with the fact that he has been arguably the best day 3 of the draft GM in football. 2018 brought Taron Johnson a top 5 nickel, Siran Neal the best gunner in football and Wyatt Teller who has emerged as an all pro guard (though sadly not here). 2019 brought Jaquan Johnson who does nothing but make plays every time he steps on the field. 2020 brought Gabe Davis and Dane Jackson who are now established starters and Tyler Bass and then this past draft, while I agree it's early, brought Khalil Shakir and Christian Benford who have had super impressive summers.
I love your optimistic view, but there’s absolutely nobody outside of Buffalo that would put Oliver or Knox in the conversation as best or most talented at their positions. That’s just not true. Knox is a good athlete and one of my favorite players, but you would have to Cherry pick the ***** out of criteria to have him top 2 at anything.
The late round drafting has been pretty impressive, which makes it all the more puzzling why he can’t seem to hit on the better prospects.
God knows it’s so much better than we had in the past. I do love the logic of “14 Starters” came from Beane’s drafts, it’s a nice stat. The reality is 7-8 of them are starters by default, not because they are true NFL starters, but nonetheless, at least they are on an NFL roster and decent.

I don't think anyone needs you to be judging anything. So no need to wait for any numbers.

Like the fact he’s going to be here, feel like they could have gotten to him earlier for less, but whatever. I’ll judge more when I see the numbers. If anything, I really hope this means Edmunds will walk after the season.

Exactly what I said… They aren’t going to activate 4 RBs(Singletary, Moss, Cook, and Jones)…. One of them will be inactive IMO.
Tragic is a big stretch… but I honestly have no idea what he’s thinking with some of these early round picks. Way too many at RB and just a poor record with 2nd round picks to this point.
I think it’s fair to say Beane has continually wasted high draft picks, if we were evaluating Bellicheck for these draft picks we’d be laughing. He got Allen, awesome, and therefore a lot is covered up. But Edmunds is marginal, Ford is trash, DS is still trying to make a role for himself, Oliver is solid, hasn’t come close to top 10 status, AJE still a borderline NFL player, Moss still trying to find something, Groot was solid, actually have hope for him, Boogie.. why?, Brown looks like a good hit. This year is way to early to judge, but Elam has been equaled or out played by his 6th round competition, Cook just makes no sense as a second round pick, don’t get me started on the wasted 3rd round pick… step back and look at it objectively, Beane has really sucked on early picks outside of Allen. Let’s be fair, he got the right one, but he also didn’t have his pick of the litter and has shown a propensity to make a move to not get shut out on a position of need. If the Browns had taken Allen, then what? Anyway, his track record in the draft is worthy of question.

Oook, Diggs is a great player, but he’s a product of Josh Allen, he’s never come close to the numbers he has without Allen and the guy who replaced him has been better in his first two years than Diggs is now, with Kirk Cousins throwing him the ball, so let’s just calm down.

Glad to see Brown back where he belongs but i think (do you) that Cook is behind Moss only because he is a rookie & may need more time to prove him self as far as learning the offense and will eventually replace Moss as that guy ?
I think the FB should possibly be the 3rd RB up he's bigger & can probably run with more power than Moss i'm just not a fan of him never have been & thought the pick could have been same position better player say a A.J. Dillon type but that's just me i guess .
I think we may see Gilliam as the 3rd RB with Jones as a ST captain and the “ability” to step in if needed.
I agree with your assessment on Moss, but I am cautiously optimistic he will be much better this year. We have not seen the guy from college yet, but I saw glimpses of it this pre-season. He was a hammer in college, and he has really underrated hands, I won’t be shocked to see him keep Cook from dressing for a while. He’s the short yardage guy, by default (and I don’t agree with it based on the past, I think DS can do just as well), he is definitely a better blocker and if he can start to show that little bit of burst/pop he had in college, he’s talented enough to start in the NFL. I’d be happy to have a problem of too many guys that are too talented to bench at a weak position from last year, but man, if we have a 2nd round pick not dressing for the 3rd straight year, I might just lose it. I hope I’m wrong about it and I hope Cook is a beast, but I don’t see the justification for his draft slot at all. Wasn’t happy with the pick at the time, still haven’t seen a reason to change that, hopefully they were “hiding” their weapon.

This is my expectation. Happy to be wrong about it. I know there are fans convincing themselves that the Bills "hid" Cook in the preseason which I think is borderline hilarious. My expectation is that he doesn't dress for the first month or so and certainly not tomorrow night, I can't fathom them trotting out Cook in pass-blocking situations with 99 on the other side of the field...
I feel the same way, but man what an awful look to have the 2nd round pick not dressing for games for 3 consecutive years. I know Beane has worked some magic, but his drafts are almost tragic outside of Allen.-

I’m interested to see if Cook being the 3rd RB means he doesn’t dress for games, the way they did with Moss last year. I would find it REALLY hard to believe, but this RB by committee thing does take up and extra spot on game day. It may be that one of the bottom WRs/TEs won’t dress.
30 minutes ago, CorkScrewHill said:Sean McDermott it appears has not actually committed to who is starting on the opposite side of Jackson.
W will find out on Thursday it appears.
As it stands based on what we saw, I would be putting Beneford out there, Elam has more raw ability, but it’s raw.
At this point, anybody scare you?

After game 1, it looks like there are about 4 teams that play in a different league than the rest, Bills, Chargers, Chiefs, TB even though they didn’t capitalize on 4 trips to the RZ, still looked solidly better than the rest.
I’m sure others will emerge, but the NFL got what they jabbered about for years, parody, the games are getting almost as bad as the NBA in terms of lack of excitement. Ohhh who can t get pumped about a “shoot out “ between the Eagles and the Lions.. yeah, nobody cares.
