First Round Bust

I swear it like Jerry Hughes knows the area=spot-radius he has to get to to qualify for a pressure and sprints-fights to get there than gets tied-up, runs out of gas, or cant finish...seriously the opponents contribute to this, we have played against more backup QBs and inferior lines than most teams so there is some skewing...point being the upcoming NE and TB games will be against good lines and qbs that will likely release in 2.5 secs, esp NE on the road at our place on MNF the crowd noise will be extra-punped, lets see how well the defense performs over the next 3 weeks which is key to our playoff drive and positioning...lets go Buffalo

hoping for health, stability and continuity, example the O-line is once again beset by injuries and COVID where Brown has made only 4 starts, Feliciano out for several Dawkins recovery from COVID and then weak guard play...on the D-line Star has missed 4 games as well and Edmunds two...

umh have you guys checked out our salary cap lately - might have a little to do with moves the team might or might not be able to make https://www.spotrac.com/nfl/buffalo-bills/cap/

cane expect some safety support for Jackson esp with deep balls, likely at the expense of some safety bliztes and run support ? cant have it all

take the best of the CBs, or DTs, OC-G in round one

sigh...really hurts..Tre is such as pro and fan favorite...get well soon buddy we goin to miss ya...but next man up...Dane Jackson does have over 300+ plays under his belt in 1.5 years experience including 2 starts, plus will get plenty of first team reps come practice next week...plenty of film work and coaching in store...

attention mods...clean-up required !

agree some designed rollouts would help diversify the O,of esp if we can catch the D off-guard, so its got to be the right call at the right time otherwise you are allowing the D to dictate your play call and you minimize the the field other than Josh throwing across his body and the field. If they blitz from the edge, the extra rushers pretty much blow the rollout play up so its back to the right call at the right time - part of exection

additonal...hearing Stevenson to be activated from IR ? Two DTs activated from PS

sigh...agree...think we have to commit one more year to Star which for grooming and replacement purposes which has me thinking high draft pick this year...as for the rest...Phillips is backup material at best and is UFA, Butler pls go away, Zimmer is recoop from ACL two weeks ago, Oliver is good but under-sized as well...so there has to be a changing of the guard, and other than Star we got no size...

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 ?
