No, this one was not all on McDermott. It would have been nice to see him challenge the Gabe Davis reception that should have been a TD though. Just saying.
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.

Did they even say the extent of Jackson’s injury. It looked bad, but I haven’t heard much about it besides he’s doing good and he walked out of the hospital the next day.
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.

I lived in MN when the Vikings' Korey Stringer died of heat stroke during a muggy summer training camp.
So I guess this hits home a bit for me.
The NFL has done some things, but needs to do more. I love the game, but where they can make changes that protect players without killing the game... why not?
Folks easily forget:
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?

Each stadium offers its own level of homefield advantage.
For some teams (such as Buffalo), that edge comes from weather. Our hometown players get used to the snow and wind, while the visiting domed/warm-weather teams often struggle to get acclimated. They say that Seattle was built to amplify sound, making it incredibly difficult for visiting offenses to communicate. Denver's stadium is at a higher altitude, which results in lower oxygen levels and causes visiting teams to get gassed more easily. At the Meadowlands, stadium officials were known to open the tunnel doors when visiting teams were kicking and close them for the Jets/Giants.
Normally these types of things don't bother me. But what I saw yesterday was definitely on a different level. There were dozens of players going down with heat stroke, heat related illness, etc. I've never witnessed that in a football game before. Coaches and players have often talked about the heat-advantage at the Dolphins stadium, but this seemed remarkably unsafe. Not sure if there is a solution though, other than make Miami play in the later time slot during the early part of the season.
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!

Not every year is going to be the same weather condition wise. Obviously with the number of heat related issues players were having, and with how many guys talked about how it was one of the worst weather games they have ever been a part of due to the heat and humidity and the sun being out all game, I am pretty sure it was much worse today.
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.

The Heat definitely played a factor in the game but I also think the 63 pass attempts didn’t help either. Diggs was cramping and Olineman were dropping like flies and were so gassed they couldn’t pass protect late in the game. Offense was on the field the majority of the 2nd half
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.

By the middle of the second quarter they will bench Roten and you will see a shuffle of the OL. Bates is the best backup C on the team. When Feliciano was the starting guard he was the back up center. They switch multiple positions all the time.
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.

From a strategy and game theory perspective, would anyone disagree that this version of the Buffalo Bills should be going for 2 every time they score a touchdown (other than obvious game situations that would call for the extra point)?
With the versatility of Allen and all the weapons at his disposal, I wouldn’t be surprised if our long-term 2-pt success rate was higher than 60%.
I’ve been happier recently with McDermott’s inclination to be more aggressive with going for it on 4th down, but I still think there are more opportunities to take advantage of the obvious strengths that this team has.
The only possible argument I could accept against this proposal is that it is one more play that could lead to injury, especially if we’re often using Josh as a runner around the goal line. However, I do think it’s an interesting question. The only team I can recall going this route is the Steelers with Big Ben for a while there.
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.

every team loses players as the year goes along ,
The Bills have the knack of finding defensive backfield talent ,so let’s let Bean go to work and see what he comes up with .
White should almost be ready for return so he will probably get the roster spot.I know nothing about either practice team defensive backs, but wouldn’t think they would be ready yet.
Whoever Beane picks up is going to be a depth player. Johnson and/or Hamlin are the ones stepping into the starter spot.

Last year was our year to win it all.
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.

They are also ignoring Hill and Waddle, who, as a pair, are outstanding.
They are both in Diggs' class. Waddle is a superstar in the making.
Hill is as dangerous an offensive player as there is in this league.
We should still have the advantage, but there seem to be a LOT of people here who haven't figured out that it's not the same old joke of a Dolphins team down in Miami this year.
People seem to forget that teams can get much better--and much worse--in the span of 1 offseason.
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.

They didn't examine him and determine the facts before giving him a designation? Wouldnt that be against NFL rules?
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.

OH, YES.
Everyone stands for big plays, but it is idiotic to stand otherwise, when you can see perfectly fine, from your seat. The team is not going to play better, and all that THESE PEOPLE accomplish, is that they obstruct the view, of the fans behind them.
There used to be such a thing, as 'Being Considerate Of Others'.
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.

Before you immediately jump to answer "NO", realize that this question does not mean that you don't like winning.
I enjoy the Bills recent success and I root for a championship trophy. I have a man crush on Josh Allen that my colleagues find odd. That being said, part of me misses the drama of Flutie v Johnson, Bledsoe v Losman, the Fitzpatrick upward trajectory followed by the downward trajectory, top 10 pick draft talk, checking the playoff tiebreakers to find a 1 in 1,000 chance of making the tournament, etc. I wonder if the large swings in outcomes of the past created a dopamine response in my brain.
Does anyone else feel this way? Or perhaps I am in a party of one?
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).

It's a little shocking they are not #1 on D allowing only 215 yards a game.
Some bad offenses I think is part of the reason.

The Chiefs did it in the AFCCG in 2020. I know things are different now and there are some other variables.....But I am absolutely not going to claim that the Bills are unstoppable. Someone is going to beat us this year.
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.

On Diggs's long TD, I was watching the receiving on the near side of the field (for me), and the guy next to me said, "He's got him!" just as Josh was beginning to throw. I looked up and saw Diggs beyond his defender. I remember thinking, "this is a touchdown," because I knew Allen would hit him and I knew Diggs would catch. Then, with the ball in the air, I thought, "Is it too long?" Then Diggs had what looked like just two steps that amount to an extra speed burst - it looked like he turned on the afterburners to make up a little ground, then turned them off again and just settled into getting under the ball and finding a comfortable way to catch it. The two of them together already are masters at what they do, and they have several more seasons to do it. It's really special.
I really appreciate hearing these types of observations from those in attendance. Thank you!

Make the Bills run the ball. Easier said than done but they haven't proven they can switch up and run the ball consistently.
They pretty much abandoned it against the Titans because the pass game was clicking....but I would be concerned if a D-Coord actually finds a way to take away the passing attack. Does anyone feel comfortable that the Bills can ground and pound it for a win?
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.
9 minutes ago, Monty98 said:I get that, that's why I said most effective way. I don't think there's much to do to slow them down, but if you can try to at least limit the big plays you probably stand a chance to stay in the game. I'm intrigued to see how we do against Baltimore's secondary, might be the best secondary we face all year, Green Bay has a decent one too. So far we've faced Ramsay, no one of note in Tennessee (maybe Byard), so...Miami has Howard and Holland has played well at S for them too.
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.

Again, winning a SB matters. Does it mean he's Vince Lombard or Bill Belichik no, but it garners respect.
Also let's be serious here, this team is oozing with so much talent Rex Ryan or Doug Marrone would be in the same boat with this roster especially since both have been have also been to AFCCG's before and frankly did much better than McD's only trip there so far.
Barry Switzer also won a SB with the Dallas Cowboys, most casual fans probably don't even know who he is but it proves a point that talent can sometimes reign supreme.
Just sick of fans thinking McDermott is some messiah that should be worshipped here when it's really about Josh Allen being the main reason this franchise has turned around and that's on Beane if anything, not McD either. If McD is part of a SB winning team in Buffalo only an idiot would still criticize him afterwards.
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.
11 minutes ago, BRH said:And then when he does it, he gets right into the play instead of trying to draw the refs' attention to it. I'm glad the coaches beat that little tic out of him.
True. He just wants those free plays so bad! Josh has such a killer instinct.

The only reason not to punt in that specific situation was to maintain a streak that in the grand scheme of things matters not a whit.
Punting was the right move there. I don't really care for trying to draw the defense offside... that hardly ever works, and it's a time-waster, but at least they played it right by taking the delay penalty instead of wasting a timeout.
You have to admit, Josh is VERY good at drawing a defense Offside. He practically does so every game.

I do.
Coming back to football means he didn't suffer a serious injury.
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 lacks agility that the other two have. That's the only reason I can come up with as to why he seems to refuse or be unable to make plays with his legs. He also doesn't even scramble behind the line much either. Not a lot of "secondary reaction" plays. Not like Allen and Mahomes anyway.
That said, in terms of just pure throwing ability, reading the defense and executing the play as designed Herbert is second to none in that regard.
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.

2 hours ago, CincyBillsFan said:
A perfect example of this was the 3rd and 2 play right after the two minute warning. If Mahomes or Allen get to the outside like that it's an automatic first down - either by run or pass. Herbert hesitated on the throw and then fell down.
I thought this exact thing live watching the game. Herbert isn’t quite at that level yet.

Yeah no. Certainly in the second round he drafts for need. Arguably in other rounds as well, but he's willing to move around the board if he can so that his perceived need more closely aligns with value.
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!

NFLPA initiating investigation into Tua’s concussion protocol
in The Stadium Wall
Posted
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.
