I agree with this for the most part...
On offense, Cook needs to have a big day. That front could give us problems in the passing game and with Shakir out, we are so limited. I imagine Kincaid has to get more reps in the slot here. Knox probably more at traditional TE. We need to run the football.
On defense, they want to establish the run and we have been spotty historically at stopping teams from doing so. Very slow to adjust. We benefit so much from getting a lead and making teams more one dimensional. I don't see that here. Probably more back and forth style game. How does Stroud respond to a McD style defense? Does it confuse him?
I totally get your point. They have pretty talent, but man we are low on playmakers. Low of defensive talent as well. How long can these deficits persist? Allen can mask so much. Sometimes McD's scheme on defense can mask a lot as well. You know how much this one means to Diggs. The Texans will be ready for us. I also expect us to be more dialed in after that horrific showing last week. It's going to be a ball game for sure. I would make the Texans a -2 or -2.5.
Id be a lot more worried if they had two great corners. Yea I think something in the -2 range could def be justifiable. It just doesn’t feel like this huge uphill battle to me that some think it is
anthony Richardson was basically rookie josh Allen in that Texans colts game and he gave them problems.

Sure, it’s very comparable in that way, but they just have better talent. Allen can do a lot of equalizing but if you go down the roster at who will play in this game we aren't near them to be perfectly honest.
I don’t think that better talent is allocated properly in this case if that makes sense. They’re loaded up at wr but need help in a lot of other areas.
They’ve got good pass rushers outside but seem weak up the middle up front, none of their linebackers are particularly good, Lassiter is starting at corner and he hasn’t looked great so far. I think they’re gonna have a lot of trouble slowing Josh down/the running game
we’ve gotten some good corner play so far and our safeties are pretty bad in pass coverage but even worse in run support so that could be worse lol they won’t have mixon.
theres a lot of valid reasons why the Texans are struggling against bad teams despite having some big name skill position guys and a couple household name pass rushers
I think we’ll get one of taron/terrell back too and possibly both-

I think they look great, heh
Edit: I just saw the helmet, which is ugly AF
The light blue highlights which seem like the whole point look awful to me haha the rest is fine

Probably shouldn't be favored here TBH.
Were focused more on our own team here obviously but this ‘they beat bad teams but lost to a good one’ criticism easily applies to Houston too and they didn’t look particularly good in any of those wins.
the spread being that close makes sense…I wouldn’t be shocked if it gets closer to even if Bernard or t johnson are active
doesn’t mean they won’t find it starting this week but Houston has been pretty underwhelming so far-

Man this has been the hardest game to predict in a long time. I think mcd is a bit of a wizard baffling young qbs and that Texans run defense looks gettable to me roster wise. Lassiter seems like he’s still learning the ropes at corner too
that Houston defense reminds me a bit of the dolphins defenses that Josh has nuked. Assuming one or both of taron/terrell play I don’t think we get a repeat of last week even without Ed
BUF: 31
HOU:24

Injuries are a part of the game! Seems we have been banged up more than others the past few seasons
I feel like the ‘amount’ of injuries is comparable to other teams…but they always find our best possible defensive players at the worst times 🤣.

Thank you, Brandon!
Say what you will about mcd in other respects but he elevates dbs play like crazy…I think poyer is probably a jag with any other team even in his prime

This is almost like the unexpected week 1 win actually made things worse somehow lol

My own take on what WR plays best where but I think this would be a great time for Samuels to not only get on the field but prove he can do something other than run pass routes that RB's run. He should be able to do it and it would be nice for him to show that. We always seem to be missing half our DLine. We have decent to good starters across the line but on most Sundays half of them are playing hurt or missing altogether.
Samuel will pick up…he’s proven reliable over a pretty big sample size it’s not like Deonte harty where we were guessing he’d take a leap in productivity. It’s just way too early to dig into anyone’s numbers especially when we were just running out the clock most of the second half in 66% of our wins

any insight on the Texans run D... cause I see this as a possession running game... run time... hide safteys and LBs and DL.. er.... well the whole defense... keep it close and hopefully pull it out..

tough to tell anything this year as three of their games were bears, colts, jaguars. Last year they had a good run defense but Blake cashman, Sheldon rankins, and Maliek collins left and their DT play has been pretty bad so far
jaguars didn’t have any trouble running on them but colts/bears they could just load up against the run

Houston will win. The bobbleheads on TV will all be talking about how Diggs got his revenge, blah, blah, blah.
It’ll come down to the trenches as most football games do. Half our games have been against extremely mobile qbs so I’d expect the dline to be better in this one now that contain isn’t as important even without Ed

From the way some people on here talk, every single NFL team misses 4-6 starters in every single game.
The bills have this rare ability to lose the two best starters in one position group lol then everyone still uses the ‘every team has injuries’ line. Chiefs would be 0-4 if you took their two best linebackers away. Heck they might be 0-4 if you just took Bolton away

McDaniel's problem is he can't get the defense right. To be a head coach in this league you have to get both sides of the ball figured out, and their defense has been abysmal at times. And look at the Bills dominance in the division from Miami's perspective. Every time they have a big game against us they fall apart, or the one time they beat us it ultimately didn't matter in the final standings. At this point he is just an elite offensive mind not a great head coach. This year he got hit by bad circumstances more than his own failures, but even still we were blowing out his team before Tua's concussion and at a certain point there are no excuses you just have to find a way to overcome your division rival.
Can’t get the offense right against good teams either usually…really don’t even think he’s an elite offensive mind at this point

I can't even come up with a scenario in my head where Josh throws for 400 anytime this year. 300... it's possible. But who is catching balls for 400 yds? Our TEs and RBs?
The bills seem to be heading for mostly positionless offense and i think it’s hurting people’s brains that are used to the traditional ‘people listed as wrs on the depth chart catch most of the passes’ lol we could’ve thrown for 400 against Jacksonville if we really wanted and the extra yards would probably be evenly split between Kincaid, cook and shakir with a few more catches for Coleman

We are currently one of the league's poorer passing teams at 195 ypg
I don't really see that changing tbh
Half our games were over not long after halftime and we just ran out the clock…we’ve only played 4 🤣. Were basically missing a full game in a four game season of passing stats lol

My only changes would be:
Chiefs L - Yes, we have been consistently beating the Chiefs in the regular season, but I think their defense matches up too good against our O.
Niners L - too many weapons and they will likely run it down our throats.
10-7 and win the division. Win on wild card weekend in a sloppy game. Lose in Divisional round per our usual script.
If we have taron and Bernard back for the chiefs game I don’t really see us losing. Chiefs got a little unlucky seeing us late in the season they definitely would’ve won if we played them around now given our current situation. Niners game could go either way though even with those guys
i dont think people can even comprehend how big a deal missing your two best players in one position group is(Milano,Bernard) because we get caught up in this ‘no excuses’ mentality about our own team. If the chiefs were down Bolton and drue tranquil they wouldn’t have won a game. Just getting one of those two back keeps someone deep on your depth chart off the field

When you have Taron Johnson, that nickel is 100% the right call on almost every down.
When you're missing him and both Milano and Bernard, you're mostly hosed no matter what you run.
People don’t understand that just because something we did went badly doesn’t mean something we could’ve done wouldn’t have gone worse 😂. It’s pretty amusing honestly. Idk who these good linebackers our supposedly stupid coaches refused to play are that everyone is suggesting totally exist haha

That must have been a phantom db he blew past with a hesitation move. I mean even the ref saw that db and threw a dpi flag so I couldn’t have imagined it. Not to mention the safety that couldn’t keep up.It was a great play not a blown coverage. Really don’t have to downplay it because he’s not a Bills. I’m not sure how many opportunities he’ll get going forward with no other wr to scare defenses but that was one helluva play.
My wording was bad on ‘blown coverage type situations’ because I got lazy lol…his td earlier this season was unquestionably blown coverage. His td against the chargers was bad defense imo seemed like miscommunication between the corner and safety to me personally
it wasn’t an outright nobody covered him situation though for sure
it has nothing to do with him being on the chiefs, his entire season has basically been two splash plays that I don’t think will be sustainable but we’ll see. If he was more consistently making smaller plays rather than two huge chunk plays I’d trust the stats more
I would’ve said the same thing about Keon if josh scrambled around on that terrible trick play and actually got Keon the ball there on a huge play…the defense just dropped him so I wouldn’t have read into the big play too much

If you've followed Andy Reid's career, you know that rookie WRs almost never burst out of the gates. You're lucky if they produce by the end of their rookie season. He just requires them to learn so much more than most coaches ask of their rookies, and the offense is more complex than most.
With that in mind, Worthy's done great so far. Almost 200 total yds and 3 TDs, while sharing the field with Kelce and an extremely high-usage WR. With multiple flashy plays and great ball-tracking skills. Couldn't ask for too much more at this point. He also passed the test of stepping up in Rice's absence with flying colors.
Reid’s career is also littered with early round wr busts so I guess we’ll see lol. The guy busts on wrs as much as anybody. In fact knowing Reid’s career is what makes me think worthy will probably bust 🤣 my favorite nfl beef is even keeled bill belichick saying notable Andy Reid draft pick Freddie Mitchell ‘is terrible and you can print that’ haha if Reid didn’t botch that pick the eagles likely win that 04 Super Bowl
2 of those worthy plays accounted for 89 yards and 2 TDs on just dreadful defense/blown coverage. That really shouldn’t swing someone objectively looking at worthy’s game in either direction
sometimes reids wr hits don’t jump out in the stats department early that much i agree with but watching them on film you could tell they had it. Worthy is below that line imo. There is nothing he has done that mecole hardman couldn’t do -

As long as Mahomes and Reid are alive and well and playing/coaching on Sundays, it doesn't really matter what any team does honestly. We're all just here for the ride. We're in Patriots 2001-2018 dynasty part 2 right now...unfortunately at about the 1/3 mark of that dynasty.
I don’t think the chiefs are anywhere remotely close to the pats dynasty personally…if they weren’t the healthiest team by a wide margin last season they were not winning the superbowl and that luck seems to be evening out this year

Bills defense under McDermott has historically defended the run poorly. It’s a glaring weakness in the scheme.It’s kind of tough to gauge…how much of it is running because scared to pass vs running because it’s easy. Since 2019 we’ve been bottom half of the league in rushing yards allowed per game zero times. Last year we were 15th and the year before we were 5th. This year it’s too early to tell
there have been a few short stretches of terrible run defense for sure though. I feel like most seasons we have a game or two where the defense gets steamrolled and we all panic haha
going back earlier than 2019 we were pretty bad and average but those rosters were pretty terrible

2 catches a game as a starting WR for the Chiefs with Mahomes and Andy Reid makes him a "game changer"? Feels a bit extreme.
Chargers defense just refused to cover worthy on that play that everyone is overreacting to lol his two statement plays have been busted coverage type situations. I honestly think there’s a real chance the chiefs got absolutely fleeced on that trade…Carter is looking pretty good early
Did Beane Fail Josh and the fan base?

I don’t get this at all…unloading a player for picks that you’re assuredly going to lose in free agency in a few years who’s value might completely evaporate isn’t that crazy to begin with
then on top of that you eat all his dead money the year where you’ve got another brutal contract that’s ending makes sense.
before you even get to ‘was diggs hurting the team with diva-ness’ I can understand doing it
