Gotta believe he's been hurt all year. I doubt he's fallen that far backwards without an injury.

He's looking like an all pro.

Better downhill tackler but a liability in pass coverage

I'm not sure they have a preference. I'm thinking they are confident they can beat either team if they play well.

I think he will be okay. Agree he's a nice piece to the Oline.

I think he needs to get back into the action. Can't play scared.

Gotta bruise him up and get him in game shape.

Looks like its gonna be the Patriots in Foxboro for Buffalo.

Nice start for the Bills. I think they want to get a win for the fans in the last game at HighMark stadium.

Yes and I didn't even have to think about it. Better question.

I'm not expecting anything from Oliver this season. I don't think it's reasonable to think he can be very productive 1st game back. I would be surprised to see him ready to play this season.

I just wish the team had a consistent down field passing game. It seems like they haven't had one in years. Their over reliance on the run game is obvious to the point the passing game suffers. When is the last time Allen had thrown for over 300 yards? He should be hitting that mark way more than he does. Meanwhile I'm watching other teams with mostly less talented QBs like the Rams, Chicago, New England, Seattle, 49ers, etc...who have the ability to get chunk plays down field. The Bills passing game scares no defenses. Last week was the first time in a long time I've seen the Bills have a resemblance of a down field passing game. It was really nice to see. I think it's probably more of an anomaly than the norm. The Bills organization has really failed to arm Allen with weapons to help out the passing game. The Bills are over reliant on their running game. The offense is still very good because 17 masks a lot of the deficiencies. When his not special the team likely doesn't win. Personally, I'd like to see the whole offensive philosophy changed. I know that won't happen. Look at the Bears for example. They have a dynamic run game with two JAG RBs but still have a vertical passing game. Other teams like the Rams, 49ers, Seattle, NE, etc... also have vertical passing games. The Bills really don't. It's not the strength of the team. That really isn't acceptable. It's truthfully been an issue under Brady for years. I suspect the Bills' offensive weaknesses will be an big issue in the upcoming road playoff games. 17 has to be Superman.

What is the name of the book? I'm interested in buying it.

Agree. If they run it back I'm going to be highly disappointed. I do think they probably change offensive and defensive coordinators. However, the D coordinator will be an extension of McD. So no real change there except in name. I have no idea of who the O coordinator could be. I'd be all for Daboll returning but I know that isn't happening. Sadly, I don't think Beane or McD are going anywhere. Imho, that makes the team's path to a super bowl slimmer than it should be. They both had a great run but it comes to a point where change is needed for advancement. Both are very good at their jobs and will thrive with up and coming teams. That's what they do best. Their fit in Buffalo has now become hindering, stale, mundane, and boring. The fact that the team doesn't have an identity surely falls on the organization. It's sputtering and the Patriots have already taken advantage of it. This is clearly the worst version of the Bills in years despite its regular season record. I don't think that's an over statement at all. I'm on the record loudly that I wanted McD gone right after 13 seconds. Who knows how that would have played out. I still contend that this team has never recovered from 13 seconds. Perhaps that's an over statement. Go Bills.

Great post and thought process. I'm just really perplexed that the Bills ignored or though fixing a separation problem would be fixable. To me, that's gotta be near the top when evaluating at WR. Without separation skills it's really difficult for a WR to succeed in the NFL. I know route running can certainly help and their are exceptions. To think he could be an X WR is borderline insanity. Is the Bills scouting personnel that incompetent? Seems like they are. I can live with if they made him a big slot. But that was never the plan. That wasn't a need. These kind of simple mistakes are what prevents the Bills from winning it all. Everything starts to add up. This year it's the division what's next year's failure? Off topic, i know you disagree but it's time to move on. The team is stale. Change is needed to get over the hump. Just maybe others can start seeing this.
