He should have started pounding beers at halftime if he knew it was coming.

Nothing in regards to this subject is going to ever be proven. It's a bunch of people giving opinions and debating the relative merits and downsides to different philosophies. Some folks in this thread thought the Bills would be OK, some thought they would struggle. Some thought that they were irretrievably lost without the luxury of a #1 WR. Some things have happened over the first few weeks to suggest that the latter group is wrong and others are pointing that out. The folks that were debating between they'll be OK and they'll have some struggles are both still very much in play. Suggesting that your position is correct because other opinions haven't been proven is just more of your "I'm always right and everybody else is stupid" nonsense. Talk to me in a couple years because frankly, I'm still not convinced of the objective greatness of this WR class.

If you don't want to have a discussion about the two best QB's in the league, that's fine. But I can't think of a reason that you would come into my thread and tell the rest of us we shouldn't be talking about it either. I don't believe that "discerning football observers" consider the quality of a QB's play to be dependent on how the rest of his team does on a given day.

Not to mention that the Bills hat probably even makes him look older than he really is

Apparently the RG got steamrolled and one of their DL got into the backfield far enough that he got high and close enough to get a hand on the kick. I don't think Bass was the culprit, fwiw

He's a scrapper, really playing with a lot of attitude. I was half glad to see him get tagged for a personal foul on a meaningless punt cover; maybe a cheap lesson on focusing that aggression and making sure it helps you instead of hurting you.

It was a gawdawful throw that no NFL QB should ever miss that badly

I think he really likes the way Ty gets his hands right up in there.

Considering his penchant for throwing strikes with the craziest arms angles I've ever seen you'd think this wouldn't be a problem for him. He's looked mostly accurate to me when I've watched them. But I'm not ready to ditch my pet theory that there is something physically wrong with him and that his odd (for a ballplayer) body type could be leading to him breaking down younger than the average player.

Don't beat him up too much. He deserves all props for a strong effort.

These weren't bad guesses but I was surprised that I thought Mitch and both the Jax Guards played pretty well tonight.

This might very well be true; at the least it's debatable enough that I wouldn't disagree with it. But seeing it carry over into this year and currently be so clear has made it real enough to declare without equivocation, imo.

Is it ironic that they unknowingly will?

Considering his suspension today and that the Bills have pulled starters in two games already, exactly how much improvement do you want to see from him in approximately 7 qrtrs of football?

No idea. But spending all day in a hotel before heading to the stadium mid-day might be a big ask for players with families. And if checkout is 10-11am, they might get in trouble and have to pay an extra night!

It must be like playing against a guy who won't stop throwing trip 20's

I thought it seemed like it might be a reallllllly deep bruise around the top of his palm that was going to have pain and swelling for a few weeks. 🤷‍♂️

It's uncanny near the goalline, to the point where it could become a mental block.

I've been wondering the same thing. I'm still not convinced there is anything actually fractured.

Yeah, he's hurrying up the huddle. "Rack 'em....Let's go!"

I also thought Lamar was playing at the absolute peak of his ability during the parts of the game I watched last week.

Thank you. I was hoping somebody would finally pick this up.

lol, Pat's Handcam.... Imagine the scrutiny on display every play when he signals everybody to huddle up!

Yes

It's good to not care about them.
