First Round Bust

day one of the off-season...sigh thanks for keeping us barnyard animals fed

add Lee Smith 2.2M to the list...Star L returns next season, I would expect the Bills to take a long look at him in camp and see if their is chemistry between him clogging a gap and Oliver being able to be freed up to penetrate more and make plays. Stats show Bills pass rush bring the pressure but the older gents seem to a step slow getting to the qb so the hits, hurries and sacks arent really there

I have him at the top of our list to replace Daboll as far as in house candidates. If the org feels the same, to keep him we could assign the assistant coach designation to him which would keep him anything but an HC position ? Of course external candidates are plentiful (daboll) but in-house experiences and time spent next season on campus (pending Daboll departure) would be a key factor as well I would think Thoughts ?

colts had a solid game plan, they won 11 games regular season with a statue for a qb, they pushed the gut run game and then attacked the edge well thanks to a good OL The OL marginalized our pass rush as well Their TEs have size as well as Pittman, those2 young RBs are going to be good for awhile I would like the Bills to add a big TE with plus size like the Colts have, In the end they beat themselves by not making an easy FG and going for it on 4th down and getting nothing. those easy 6 points cost them a playoff road win against the #2 seed.

the Tenn and KC games were the worst for flags as several were unsportsmanlike-frustration flags and the Denver game had several O-line flags in the 3rd and 4th quarters where we had points taken away...Josh was heard on a field mike saying..."so how many time we gotta score "? I noticed Morse and Ike B (G) getting flagged grabbing DL jersey as Josh is about to pass that lineman; seems like a reaction to wanting to protect Josh who either would have escaped or ran by the linemen or at the worst been tacked near the LOS. Then there is the dreaded hit on the qb foul where we seem to not pull-up or lunge at his legs trying to make a play/sack And yes we have been one of the top teams for penalties during the McClappy era

I like Dane Jackson as well for depth this season with Levi W still starting as the other CB, but really would like to draft a CB in the late first round (a la Tre) or second round with Levi still around for another season for depth at an affordable salary...then Cam and Dane can still fight for a roster or PS spot.

he is bass-o-matic

another step/milestone in becoming the greatest qb in franchise history ? He will become the richest when he signs his next contract so lets enjoy the winning along with his great play

thanks for sharing, these little pearls always make me stop and listen in esp when someone says something interesting or funny...such as its Hyde that comes over to talk to the coach during timeouts rather than Edmunds ? I wish they would show some of the reactions when things dont go well, the questionable ref calls, the reaction when a pick or fumble happen and not just the happy-clappy plays

post-game analysis: the line opened holes for 175 rushing which is great; but Joey Bosa athleticism made the right-side look slow and bad all freaking game Dawson Knox looks like a one- dimensional pass-catching TE with drops which seem to have improved simply cuz they dont throw to him much or any of our TEs period. Have our safeties lost a jump-step I mean another hail mary gets answered and they looked flat-footed and slow we have given up the most point in the NFL in the second-half !!!...that is not what playoff teams do. All those turnovers in the second-half...that is not what playoff teams do. Still being gouged for big runs !!! ..that is not what playoff teams do. Another close win over a loosing team...sigh SF, Pitts, NE (road) Miami at home for perhaps the division title...here we go..hoping for the best..expecting the worst

agree, coaches felt the line had some continuity-rhythm going after the Morse concussion and the press probed-wondered and the boards lit up about it...hoping we can get thru a game without a lineman getting hurt for a change...

whatever it is its much better than an ACL injury and the depth at guard is likely our deepest on the OL, but still hurts, should be 100% for OTA and camp in 2021...2020 will just not stop with the bad news !!! sigh

compared to the other major sports, the NFL enshrines more candidates and this in on purpose and I am fine with the concept...however the flipside is that more members actually diminishes the concept of limiting it to greatness and thus includes the very good...my pocket argument is that both Steelers WRs from their super bowl era are in: Swann and Stallworth...really do both players playing the same position on the same team belong ? Which one was better ? Hard to say because they were both great, or was one great and the other very good, or were they both very good and they got the advantage of the super bowl hype and rings ?

in the 60 year history of the franchise there have only been twenty (20) punters who boomed and shanked for the Bills...my favorites include Paul Maguire - the guy played multiple positions: LB andd P and made it to NBC as football savant in the 1980s with lesser talent than he had on the field and he laughed like a drunk hyena... Spike Jones - he wore # 11 in the 1970s at the same time as Gil and Bob McAdoo did in the daze of my star-struck childhood in Cheekta-vegas and Marvelous Marv Bateman who boomed and shanked more than the average punter read em and weep fellas... https://www.pro-football-reference.com/teams/buf/career-kicking.htm

its must a bye week... yeah its great to see the O playing well despite the O line injuries and what I consider a lack of commit to the run game esp when the other team is blitz-crazy like the Cards were. The lack o punts also does not include any block and or fakes which I l believe are zero ?

yes the good ones and bad ones happen - throw out the 72 and 12 yarders out and that is what you have...the timing was not good, we needed a boomer at that time and we got a shank///1970s Marv Bateman comes to mind he would boom and shank more than the average punter.

head coach esp McD is not going to make this kind of surprise decision in a vacuum...I am sure he had the input of the O-Line coach and the OC...the O line has played well of late except for the running game and they went with a consensus...one play away from a win guys...its one regular season road loss with a bunch of guys out and we missed breaking it up by inches...

Bill Adams who was a backup guard for several years during the Electric Company years...Frank Reich of course....Gale Gilbert held the clipboard for us for 4 years as the 3rd stringer, made it to a 5th straight SB with the Chargers and his son now is a NFL QB as well....

if you have a cell phone and internet access ? not an absolute in Utica I know...consider the totally radical concept of streaming video: download the dofu sports app avail at the apple store or the google play store...it free and has all major league sports...sorry no Utica Comets, but hey you can do that in-person you lucky devil !

as complete victory by the offense as I ever saw in 50 years of watching and or trying to watch the Bills; the play calls were great by the OC; Josh was at his best even tho sacked a bunch; the O-Line did the best they could and man the WRs with those patterns, catches and YACs...add a great game by the special teams and a crazy D effort against a great qb with a SB ring and perhaps the best WR in the game....maybe the best team effort victory this century ?

great to see esp after I ripped on him big-time after a victory even..ok lets see if we can two in a row, on the road against another good mobile qb and a good team, here's hoping.

it would be highly surprising or is it really ? to see Hackett get a job over former player and vet OC with a Super Bowl win on his resume Eric Bieniemy... Daboll is also going to be in demand I would suspect...which makes me wonder who the in-house candidate would be to replace ? Dorsey qb coach comes to mind first.. any other cerebral giants on this portal of higher thought have any pearls of wisdom ?

we got plenty of banged-up guys ourselves so get well guys; do we do same gameplan that we did against KC whuch was hope and pray Might we stick with the new found running game this week and have it set up some play action or will regress to our mean and Josh ends up having to play hero qb

promising stat that surely gives Ike some confidence Too small a sample size, NE D-line not that good and I like to throw-out the low and high score and also focus on the over or under versus the expected. We got Feliciano back just as Morse exited, having those two together would the best and Dawkins is a given. Winters becomes the depth behind Ford at RG I say with Williams doing a quiet steady job at RT. Feliciano-Morse-Ford would be our best interior lineup but it may not happen until Morse recoops,
