First Round Bust

its time - I see him as Mckenzie replacement next season - someone would have to get hurt or be removed from active roster in order for him to be activated - I dont see that person been Mckenzie...

next up is hoping it snows and becomes a "weather game"

Covid-medical-private Sal from WGR speculated if vax would be sooner based on testing results, if not vaxed 10 days quarantine, asympotmatc, etc from pos test date - which was around the date or the very date of the Jets game...so possibility avail just before Saints game, albeit with no or little practice which based on team procedures likely rules him out, Spencer likely out as well... so same lineup as Colts game with Feliciano possibly back (but not much practicing - see above policy and Edmunds as well)

not absolving him from being above blame, but there were drops (Knox had 3), pressure and O and D scheme issues to go along with the wind and rain

not as much as the partnership with the refs regarding roughing-the-passer penalties being called even for soft, ticky-tack touches are very maddening...

sorry Josh - you dont have time to execute properly, nor does the line provide enough push-separation for the run game, tho Breida breathed some life into it...sad to know we have no changes (no Star or Brown) going into the Saints game...

sigh another bad game no argument...pick your coach and or player to flame I guess.but ya know if Mckenzie doesnt fumble his way to gifting 7 points and Bass makes those kicks we got us a game for most of the 3rd quarter...but alas the run D would have let us down...

rechecking the box - 4 colts gashed us led by Taylor, Pittman and Doyle but Hines (RB) also had big day as our D gave up 472 total and no sacks I know Reich re-watched this film as mentioned... https://www.espn.com/nfl/boxscore/_/gameId/401220393

from the PS so has to be to the active roster, Buf-Miami-Ten-Buff also means our OL backups we have arent looked upon as being ready (Doyle) or good (Douglas, Bates, Ford, etc) ???

seeing and knowing people who got vaccinated several months ago whose immunity strength has dropped with time, so the vax is only good for a certain amt of time and susceptible to the delta variant as well, so unless we get the booster the previously vaccinated are now susceptible is the concern, is that case here, we shall soon find out...

ABC - Anybody but Cody

and as part of this fiasco two-minute warning (to clear pending commercials) was born

yeah the levy as GM and Jauron as coach was another sad chapter in the Ralph Wilson ownership book, and there were many Saban, Knox, Polian, Wade Phillips, Butler (GM) - these succesful ones, and there were not many, all were fired and created an immediate and rapid downward spiral that took years to recover if at all...sigh... thanks for brining and keeping the team in Buffalo Ralph, that trumps a lot of crap you put us thru otherwise...sigh

Bass was the pick from the Browns that we got in the Teller trade, a touchy subject, but at least we got something for him... has missed only 1 kick this season, perhaps Haack is a better holder than Bojo as well ?

Beasley and Morse are in the same boat- they are productive but have pricey "last" year contracts pending...thats what the off-season analysis is all about, it wont be an easy decision to part with either, but I can see them both gone for cap savings as I dont see either being extended or taking a paycut...'but who knows so then the in-house replacements ? Would Jake K be a good slot guy...would Mongo be a full-time center ?

love to diversity of under center vs gun, the double TE, the jet sweeps, Breida, the tackle eligible, rollouts, etc now add some hard counts to show the blitzers and draw the DL Offside, and the RPO instead of Josh running to the mix,,,

Ford is at the top of the dud list; 1. 2nd round with first round grade ? that we traded up for....sigh 2. yes injuries have hampered but now clear of those and results are sub-optimal 3. likely off-season cut - saves 1.5M in 2022 cap - interesting that street FA Ike B makes more than Cody this season at the top of the stud list...Brown...has developed to stabilize the line...

Franco's Army and Gerela's Gorillas arent all that worked-up about it either

looked up PFF stats - Dawkins has 7 penalties tied for second most in the league - he and Morse are our highest rated OL - with grades in the 60s - with Brown next with Feliciano who has not given up a sack. Teller grades in the high 80s.

yeah its espn,but its rationale and this portal of higher thought desperately needs it this week...below is the Pats synopsis as well AFC EAST Buffalo Bills (5-3) What we know: The Bills were making a solid case as the best team in the AFC, but then the loss at Jacksonville happened. This remains a good football team with some areas to correct. Quarterback Josh Allen and his many weapons have not flashed like they did earlier in the season due to offensive line struggles and issues in the running game. The Bills, however, have a high ceiling and should improve when players return from injury. The defense is a step ahead of last season's team and can give plenty of teams trouble. What we don't know yet: Will the loss to the Jaguars be the exception and not a sign of bad things to come? The question going into Jacksonville was whether this team would take a step forward and go further than last season, when they lost to the Chiefs in the AFC Championship. The expectations are sky high, and major changes will need to be made going forward if this version of the Bills has an opportunity to be the first to go to the Super Bowl since the 1993 season. Final record prediction: 12-5. There will be a couple more stumbling blocks along the way against some top opponents on the Bills' schedule, but Buffalo will finish among the conference's best record. -- Alaina Getzenberg New England Patriots (5-4) What we know: They are a mentally and physically tough team that has been in every game, and the Pats are bringing along rookie quarterback Mac Jones masterfully as he learns on the job. Their early-season struggles were a result of sloppy ball security and failure to come up with the big play in the critical situation, but that has changed over the past few weeks during a three-game winning streak that has helped turn their season around. Depth in the defensive backfield might ultimately prove to be an Achilles' heel, but for now, they are getting the most out of what they have. What we don't know yet: Is the ceiling for the Jones-led offense high enough to make a run into the playoffs? Jones has, by all accounts, performed well through the first nine games of his rookie season. There is a reason no rookie QB has ever led his team to the Super Bowl, so while Jones shows promise, he also serves up a reminder of his youth at times with mistakes. Meanwhile, on defense, the secondary is thinner than desired and is one injury away from a potentially significant drop-off. Final record prediction: 10-7. Two games remaining against the AFC East-leading Bills, and a home date against the surging Titans, highlight some

then h then what to do in 2 weeks when Jake K returns - have to cut one of them and risk loosing ?

Wyatt Teller’s #Browns Extension (h/t @ProFootballTalk) $59M thru 2025 $16.5M GTD @ sign Practical 2.5 yrs $30.3M Cap Hits 21: $2.7M 22: $4.8M 23: $15.8M 24: $17.3M 25: $18.1M so for those us who want better OL play - this is guard pay - not LT - how could this work on our future payroll ? browns have a good line lets see how many they can retain

it must be an off-day for the team and related news during a week where we lost...not worthy of a response

warren zevon or try this one from Neil Young - dedicated to Cody Ford or anyone that tried to block Josh Allen

to your point..the whole league has a gameplan on how to beat the Bills...we are seeing this and will see the coverage and blitz schemes again and again...quciker adjustments are needed, loosing Beasley for the second-half hurt as until the quick passes to Diggs there really wasnt an adjustment other than quick dump-offs, some of which were tipped to counter your point...teams dont respect our run and are doing their best to scheme against our passs plus we played some back-up OL who really arent good enough or arent used to playing together...how can Cody Ford regress that badly from being a first-round Beane consideration as well as playing tackle and guard to the mess that he is now ? D Williams is as inconsistent as they come, how can he play so well last year and so uneven this year, where we dont know what to expect ? You can try to place that on the coaches as far as prep and adjust for sure, but the basics of technique and execution are expected as you cant practice what do on screwed-up plays by the OL for example...but you can have more options available as to what do...roll-outs, max protect, bubble screens,quick slants, and crosses and adding another OL to form an uneven line, etc
