Beck Water

I thought so but evidently I thought wrong

Why? His knee was down Correct One (butt) cheek also = two feet

Seriously? He’s gonna get hit regardless so might as well make the catch

I’m starting to get that vibe from them. Their defense looks legit. Still, it is the Saints here.

What the hell was that, Carr? OK, I guess he expected a different route to be run So am I getting this right, the Saints OC has been the Saints OC for 15 years? May be time for a change

With a self-respecting competitive football team, it shouldn’t be But I don’t think we can count on the Saints to help us out with this one. WTF was that playcalling by the Saints on 3rd and 4th down?

I think he looks like a horse. A very talented well-bred horse who is good at football, of course Ewwww.

May I have a fresh tomato on it with pepper and salt?

Huh, I thought their defense is looking pretty solid There is the fumble, and the punt muff miscue of course

Oh, man! Shaheed almost hauled that in!

It’s the county around Jacksonville

Ouch, slammed by your own guy and injured. Friendly fire hurts!

I know, right? Now, he could have meant it a little differently. Like supposing we'd scraped through the Jags game, then the Giants game....I could see saying "we're not winning the right way". As far as I can tell from clips and box score, nothing stood out as unusual or wrong with those 2 Vegas wins. In that context, it does come across as "wahhhh, Meyers and Mayer got more targets than me!"

TBH, if Kincaid put up Henry-like numbers I'd be OK with that. We could use the 30 1D and 8 TD he put up his rookie year.

If you're so tired of this team, could you freakin' go to sleep already?

Pats injury report. Per Sal Capaccio Jonathan Jones was later upgraded to "limited"

Was Ed just ruled out somewhere? This morning, I thought McDermott said he was hopeful he'd be practicing tomorrow.

No. Christian Benford is not on injury report; Dane Jackson was a full participant Both of them are ahead of Lewis and Elam on the injury report Ja'Marcus Ingram has been elevated from the practice squad for the last 2 games with Benford and then Jackson unable to go I imagine they will use his third elevation if Elam can't go. Lewis is an interesting question. I'm not sure how they'd handle it if he can't go; he's kind of their "DB Swiss Army Knife"\ They might have Damar Hamlin active as a ST'er and 4th safety.

To be clear: there are fans micro-analyzing every aspect of the franchise's functionality and decision making. I don't tend to think I'm one of them - at least, I'm not starting threads about who we should fire and opining that this or that player is a bust (that I know of) However, absolutely NO microanalysis or detailed scrutiny whatsoever is necessary for the macro-analysis of what the Bills fans suffered at the hands of the Patriots for Years, And Years. and Years. Then toss in "Just Give it To Them" You get "“Thief, thief, thief! Bill B! We hates it, we hates it, we hates it forever!”

*sigh* this begs the question "what is a real difference maker"? It sounds like the kissing cousin to the question "what do you mean by #2 WR?" Previously we were at "if him doing better doesn't make our team results better, then I gotta think he's not making the team better". Well, he is, clearly, making the Bills team better and has made the Bills team better since he was drafted in the 4th round. But if we're now talking "real difference maker" as in "guy who can totally take over the game if you manage to shut down the #1", we're now into "I'll take teams with two number one receivers, Alex" and the answer "What are Miami, Cincy, Philly, and San Francisco?" If we want to say Gabe Davis isn't Jaylen Waddle, Tee Higgins, Devonta Smith, or Deebo Samuel - well, No. No, on the evidence to date, he's not. Fair enough. He wasn't drafted in the 1st or 2nd round, either. The Bills are trying to get WR Champagne on a Beer Budget, is part of the issue. That, is a very good question.

Maybe the Ponies learned from their mis-handling of Luck, and want to try to do things the right way now.

He just sounds like such a process-oriented, McDermott type guy. https://www.si.com/nfl/2023/10/19/raiders-davante-adams-frustrated-by-role-despite-win-over-patriots- The "right way" apparently being, the "Feed Davante Adams" way. Seriously, this guy sounds as though he makes any petulance displayed by Stefon Diggs a mere petard after eating beans.

You did, and it was a valiant try. But for some of us who have BBFS from living through 15 straight losses from 2003 to 2010, then a lone win followed by 6 more straight losses, and topped off with 6 straight losses to start McDermott's career here, we do not forget. Stomp on them. Salt their fields. Steal their cattle and....well never mind that part's not PC.... Never forget. Never relax. Never take winning for granted.

Agreed. He's been getting a bit under 4 targets per game. Knox has been getting a bit over 4. I'd like to see one or two of Knox targets switch to Kincaid, and one or two from someone else - Diggs being force-fed on a couple of his 11 targets per game. Call it 6 maybe.

Well, first off, I don't understand the "barely win". What's a "barely win"? I know that "barely lose" doesn't count. Davis has helped us win playoff games - Indy in 2020, Miami in 2022, and while we lost 13 seconds in KC, that's really not on Davis, he did all he could possibly do. He's been a significant part of a good handful of other regular season wins even if they weren't OMG 6 receptions for 113! contributions. He did have a 6 reception for 93 yds game vs. Minn, and it wasn't his fault Josh threw 2 picks to Peterson, or started thinking about diving out of the EZ before he got both hands on the ball thus fumbled the snap, or that Cam Lewis didn't knock the ball away from Justin Jefferson on 4th and 18. So I don't think you can really make an argument for "him doing better doesn't make our team results better". I mean, seriously? It's a team game.
