I'm sure the Bills have reviewed the Browns and Lions tape and are making plans to play White, Elam and Rhodes more.
This should put Jackson and Benford (after his IR stint) back to the bench.
I'm crossing my fingers and hoping you're right. Hopefully Rhodes still has some gas in the tank too, I don't know that it's guaranteed he'd be an upgrade.
I know it's probably unfair to grade Jackson so harshly because he's a 7th round pick covering legit WR superstars, but man it's frustrating to watch circus catches on this guy because he never seems to get his head around to find the ball.

BB has never been able to contain Diggs since he joined the Bills, I don't really see that changing Thursday. Judon is the guy I'm most worried about.
Dane Jackson has to step up for this game, Mac Jones is accurate and the last few weeks have shown that being close to your man isn't enough, the tape is out there on Dane and he's going to continue to get picked on until he makes a big play in a big moment.Same goes for Taron Johnson. Really weak showing the last few weeks (honestly the season outside of one big play in KC), if there's ever been a time to step it up this week is it.

He's produced in Houston possible with an uptick in snaps as he's playing about 60% of their defensive snaps, am not sure he'd get same snap count here.
He probably would for the next couple weeks considering how banged up we are at DE. Obviously light years ahead of Mike Love.

Taron Johnson and Dane Jackson have both been big liabilities in pass coverage.
As much as I want to give credit for Jackson being right up with his guy (something Levi Wallace continually struggled with), he never seems to make a play on the ball. Jackson is on a lot of receivers highlight reels right now, and it doesn't bode well to me. Get him off the field as soon as White is full go.

Lamar will be fine.
At the end of the day, somebody is going to be paying him a huge contract (barring injury). It might not be the Ravens, but there will be a GM who will bring him in for close to what he wants.
This whole thing feels a lot like the Kyler Murray situation. I think that was a terrible idea for the Cardinals to give him a big contract, but I can see why they did it.

Doesn't stop you from blindly and ignorantly firing off comments trying to get a laugh, though.
That's how this place operates. The IQ here is quite a bit below room temperature.
Who pissed in your cheerios man? So much anger for literally nothing.

I think you missed McD’s thoughts on this from a few days ago. “At some point you just have to go.” I think the decision is entirely Tre’s and the organization has been supportive and in his corner up until this point. The longer this draws out, you start to see chinks in that support, especially with teammates playing under various ailments.
I did miss that, thanks for the quote.

How mad do you think my in-laws would be if I take up valuable kitchen space to fry wings for the game?

The NFC has maybe 3 good teams, and the Vikings are likely one of them.
They'll be fine.

It feels pretty unlikely that it's White keeping himself off the field. My guess is that the coaching staff aren't prepared to risk him with the level of play he's showing in practice, maybe he's not playing markedly better than Jackson/Benford/Elam yet.

I don't trust the team,the coaching staff, and maybe the QB to show up in the big moments anymore. I hate that watching football as a Bills fan is existential dread at what bonehead "shoot yourself in the foot" move they can do next. Allen was "king of the 4th", I want that guy back.
I hope they respond well and act like the team we all thought they were, but I certainly don't expect it anymore.

The fact that Marlowe and even Hines haven't been utilized more I think is because they are so new to the roster. I expect much more significant playing time very soon. In principle I agree with you though
I don't feel like that it's an excuse, frankly. Lots of other traded players from the deadline have made major contributions to their teams. This is a failure of the coaching staff.

He was great. He was made to look even better by a handful of backups. 1 of which, cam, will probably be on our PS for the next 2-3 years.
the two biggest Vikings offensive plays of the game were on him.
I certainly hope he's not on the PS. I'll take rookie athletic upside at this point over Cam "I'm gonna make an INT 1 on 1 against the best WR in the league" Lewis.
He looked terrible at safety. We traded for Dean Marlowe for him to ride the bench, apparently. If he's not better than a PS player who has never had an NFL game playing at that position then he shouldn't be on the roster.

Life is pain.
Buffalo isn't allowed to have nice things, just shut up and eat your wings.
The only happiness you're allowed is the rush that comes from jumping through a folding table 6 beers deep when it's -8 with the wind chill.-

I don't understand this take at all. Duke looked like he was running in slow motion out there. When you're fielding the kick at your own 5-8 yard line, you should be consistently getting decent to great field position out of it.

Jeff Wilson had over 100 yards rushing for the Dolphins yesterday! Is our playbook written in Latin? It's inexcusable not to use the weapon that we traded for. Zero touches on offense, less than freaking Duke Johnson, is just crazy, especially since we were up by 2 possessions for a large portion of the game. That's where you lean on the running game. No way Beane traded for him just to be a punt returner.
It's how I feel about having Cam Lewis out there even though you just traded for Dean Marlowe. What's the point?
I've lost a lot of faith in Dorsey and McDermott on gameday. Players have to execute, but damn it coaches can put them in better positions. We were marching down the field in OT, Allen has a big run, call the TO. Have him calm down and breathe. It seems straightforward to me. Ugh.

According to Howard and Jeremy this morning, McKenzie was wide open in the flat.....
(even though he was completely blanketed from the snap)..........
I'm not going to rewatch because my emotional sanity is fragile enough as it is but I thought that was Singletary who leaked out into the flat. He was wide open though, no doubt about that.
Ugh. Just typing it out makes me feel sick.

Depends how many times Dorsey decides to send all the WRs to the end zone form the 20+ yard line.

Hines trade was “universally praised”?? Huh.
Anyway, he’s not getting reps because he hasn’t absorbed the playbook unfortunately.
I hate this excuse.
The Vikings traded for Hockensen and he's immediately put to use, CMC is traded for and instantly slots into the 49ers hyper complicated run game. Such a joke to pretend that Hines couldn't know the playbook by now.
The coaching staff are floundering.

You think we stand a chance with Hamlin, #4 Jefferson, Bernard, and whatever rookie we start opposite Jackson against Jefferson, Thielen, Hockenson, Dalvin Cook and Cousins?
And now Edmunds is on the injury report. Here’s a question many people won’t like… why should Edmunds in a contract year play hurt when guys who already got paid like Milano and White are sitting out?
None of those players are officially rule out for Sunday, and most of them were day to day last week, so that kind of dulls the edge you're spitting out there frankly.
To address your first question: Yes. I think they stand a chance because the Bills are a well coached team with a scheme that is exceptionally friendly to DBs. We also have one of the top edge rushers in the game in Von Miller and a solid interior line. We'll be going against one of the least mobile QBs in football, so pressure will be important, but to say the Bills are the worst defense in the league because they're missing pieces is laughable.

Unfortunately the smart money is to bet the Vikings. Even if Josh plays, the defense has too many guys injured/sitting out. Without Poyer, Milano, and White, we might have the most inexperienced and worst back 7 in football.
You must not be watching a lot of other games then. It's also very possible we have Poyer, Milano, and White in the starting line up. I'm not sure I'm liking your "smart money".

Look in the mirror.
Here is the article about all the other dumb things he has done and why he's bounced around the league a lot.

Did someone scam you into investing in cheeseheadtv.com/blog or something? It's weird that you're pushing a single opinion piece like it was written by god.

Don't know anything about him, but from what I read, he's absolutely terrible
Juquan Johnson wasn't exactly inspiring on Sunday either. I'd probably take the athletic first round upside over him anyday, because he did not look like belonged on an NFL field at all.

I don't know. I am not them. Why do you want to date OBJ?
He has caused many issues in the league before. It would be best to just not sign him. We likely won't so this thread is pointless
Okay, so your position is this: Everyone who says something positive about him is lying for unknown reasons, but anything negative is a fact and true? Even when it's not even first or second hand information like a random cheesehead blog?
And I'm just going to go with that dating OBJ thing now, and hopefully it makes you more uncomfortable because clearly the idea of men dating men is insulting to you.
I totally want to date him. He's a strong beautiful man who just makes me weak at the knees!

I did say in a follow up post that I don't think there's any guarantee that Rhodes is an upgrade, but I do feel like a fire needs to be lit under Jackson to get his head turned around and make plays at the ball. The fact that he's as close as he is during most passes is half the battle.
I also said that it's probably unfair to expect more out of the guy when he's a 7th rounder going against legit 1st round WR superstar talent, but it's where we're at.
