We do know. It was an independent neurologist. They have one at every game. That’s who clears them after a head injury, and apparently the neurologist cleared him.

It didn’t look like a TD to me, especially after the replay. Besides being a Bills fan, I have Gabe in two fantasy leagues, I WANTED that td, but it as a good play by the db to knock the ball out.

He was in a red non contact jersey during the week I thought I remember reading. It caught me off guard, but perhaps I read the wrong name.

After reading this article and what we saw on the feild yesterday. The NFL should at least do an Investigation to determine if the Bills had multiple players show signs of heat exhaustion. If so, they have to do something about. Training camp heat illness management practices were updated because a player died (talked about in the article). Does a player have to die before the NFL will update in game heat illness management practices?

I agree. The amount of players showing signs of heat exhaustion was unbelievable! I’ve never seen anything like it before (but I’m not watching every Miami home game either). Most of our players, just looked like they were barely holding on. It was hard to watch, yet it also showed just how damn tough they are. They fought like hell!

This Bills team got to see the Miami heat like no time before in the Allen/McDermott era. I personally never gave the heat it’s due respect either. Crazy how that worked for the fish.

Of it wasn’t for that errant throw on 4th and goal we win anyway. Our offense couldn’t take deep shots and had to take the short stuff all game. It didn’t help playing that way, but that’s the way Miami played us and we still should have took it. Oh well, of all the ways to lose, that’s about the best you can ask for.

LOL! As if your the coach and know better 🤦‍♂️ If it was as obvious as you say, I don’t think VanRoten would have got the center snaps during practice. Bates didn’t come in at center against Simmons last week, so it’s hard to imagine him coming in at center against a lesser interior d-line.

The one thing to consider, doing this leads to tipping our hands more in regards to short yardage redzone work and over time may lead to us having a harder time scoring td’s while in close.

Whoever Beane picks up is going to be a depth player. Johnson and/or Hamlin are the ones stepping into the starter spot.

We have Josh Allen and our offense. Not to mention, no one expected Hyde and Poyer to be what they turned into. Let’s see if Johnson will have a similar trajectory, we do have McDermott the db whisperer.

That’s all true and all. But I believe the Bills won’t let the Dolphins get this big down the field plays. Big plays for the Dolphins will have to come from short throws that generate tons of YAC (which they have the ability to do). We know our offense can move the ball, I also believe the Dolphins even if they move the ball down the field will have sole struggles in the red zone. We build a lead, force them to feel like they need to keep up, and then the game is in our hands. Tua has to show he can play 4 quarters of good football and not having to rely on broken coverage for big plays before we can give them the respect to think they will hang with the Bills offense. The other thing, our defensive line has been amazing so far to start the year. Tua will get pressured early, it will be interesting to see how handles the pressure throughout the game. Either way, I expect to see a reality check for Tua and the Dolphins, atleast compared to where most media pundits are placing the Dolphins.

When hurting a body part, evaluating the following day is a part of the process. Things can change overnight, like swelling. Your making something so simple very complicated. It’s the first game of the season, Ed’s fired up and probably said he could a still play if they needed him, but he is kept out. After evaluating the next day, the severity of the injury is determined to be such, that multiple weeks are needed to fully heal.

When I’m at home or at a game, I can barely sit. I’m just too excited and too pumped each time we make a big play (happens alot now). Usually when the game is well out of hand, that’s when I’m able to sit. When I was in Buffalo I tried to be as respectable as I could, I was lucky to be around other standers, so I followed the crowd. But man, when it’s a high pressure situation, it would take everything I have to sit for it.

I was very young during the Kelly years, as I’ve grew older and the team entered the drought I dreamed of the days I could be the one amongst my friends and family rooting for one of the top teams (grew up in Seahawk country). I love the Bills and will root for them no matter what, but we are exactly where I’ve always wanted to be (during season that is).

Some bad offenses I think is part of the reason.

Definitely some different variables from 2020 to now, the biggest being Josh’s overall consistent play. As far as this years team loosing, my guess is they lose on a game when making mistakes and can’t overcome them or due to injuries. I don’t expect to see a Jacksonville type game out of this years team, they just seem to have a different, more locked in vibe going.

I really appreciate hearing these types of observations from those in attendance. Thank you!

But can a defense take away the deep/intermediate passes and the short passes at the same time? It’s very hard to do both of those, it’s generally one or the other or man coverage. That’s the thing, we don’t need to rely on the run when Josh is doing so well at the short passing game. We can mix the run in here and there regardless of how to D is defending our passing attack. That’s why we are so deadly to start the season. Baltimore has had some injuries to their secondary, I believe one db was injured during the Dolphins game. Either way, their secondary got torched by the Dolphins stemming from miscommunications. I don’t think we have to worry about Baltimore’s secondary.

We KNOW Rex would fk this team up. 2017’s defensive turn around is exhibit 1 for proof of that. McDermott is a GREAT coach and one of the best in the League. Football is the ultimate team sport, and no single player or coach will be enough to win it all. Conversely no single player or coach is perfect, and will consistently be perfect. To not be happy with McDermott is just ridiculous, the odds of getting coach better than McDermott is slim to none, because the odds are the next coach would be worse, besides McDermott and Beane’s chemistry isn’t something to disregard either. The way we are on the inside is greatly reflected in the way we express ourselves. Look at your posts and comments over the years, you are a VERY negative/see the worst in things kind of person. Why? Do you expect perfection and anything less upsets you? Your perspective is so far from most everyone else, and your very adamant about the way you feel. From my perspective, it feels forced. True. He just wants those free plays so bad! Josh has such a killer instinct.

You have to admit, Josh is VERY good at drawing a defense Offside. He practically does so every game.

I thought for sure it was a career ender or worse. I’m so happy it wasn’t that bad, but your exactly right, coming back to football would the the best news regarding the severity.

Herbert’s next step is learning pre play where he wants to go, and manipulating the defense to make the throw more open. Herbert goes through his reads and very fast, but when they are covered, he’s out of his element.

I thought this exact thing live watching the game. Herbert isn’t quite at that level yet.

Drafting for, “need” can be hard to understand, because all teams do NEED to fill specific roles each season. I think the Raiders are a great example of drafting for need rather than BPA. Think of last years o-line pick in the first. They needed o-line help, but the value wasn’t there in the first, yet the Raiders still took a guy, rather than trading down or taking a better player at a different position. Beane will move up or down, to better align the value with the pick. He generally goes up and gets the guys he wants, or trades down when there isn’t a specific person he wants, but there is a strong possibility of a guy he likes drilling to him (example, he has 6 guys draftable, but doesn’t need any of them, he moves down 4 spots and atleast 2 should be available). I really enjoy Beane as GM. Between his in season trades, contract extensions, drafting, and the wizardry!
