    His passing has stayed the same or declined every season.  He hasnt evolved at all.  Its just a fairy tale for people who want to believe.

    For me personally (eye test that is), I thought Lamar looked better passing last year than the previous years, and this year it looks better than last. Lamar’s throwing has certainly improved from what I’ve seen (but I also don’t watch every Ravens game, but I do watch a lot of condensed games replays). Either way, to me personally, I’ve seen growth in his passing and I think Lamar is here to stay in the NFL, even on a new team. 
     

    This year atleast, Roman isn’t doing so good with the run game. Lamar has had some good running, but they can’t get anything going with the rb’s, yet Lamar is still having a great year, and his improved passing is a part of that.

    I still can't figure out who took that video. If it was official, you'd think we would have seen more of it by now. This person looks like they're low to the ground in the end zone or something.

     

    Don’t they always have end zone cameras? It’s just that we are backed up to the end zone, so it’s zoomed out, rather than zooming in. The perspective is quite low though, I wonder.

    Wasn't that supposed to be Cook?  It would come down to cost for me....If the P's wat a 1st or a 2nd....I say no way.  But thats just me.  

    Ofcourse that is supposed to be Cook. But he is a rook and we are ready for a Super Bowl run. The odds are (baring injury) that CMC gives us more this year than Cook. That’s entirely realistic.

    Do you honestly think that every single time you have a 4th quarter comeback, it means your were ineffective in the 1st 3 quarters?  What if you're in a shoot out or your defense isn't playing well.

     

    Here's a single season list of 4th quarter QB's.

     

    https://www.pro-football-reference.com/leaders/comebacks_single_season.htm

     

    The Colts went 14-2 that year, 2009 and went to the Super Bowl.  Manning had 7 4th quarter comebacks.  Was he ineffective in the first 3 quarters in those 7 games?

     

    This is a good point. The teams in the NFL are generally all very close, typically the games being separated by a play or two. So a good QB, can absolutely be the difference maker in a win or loss. 
     

    Our current team is insanely good. This isn’t the norm. There are generally only a team or two each season this good. I imagine, over the course of Allens career our team won’t be so dominant every season, but we’ll have Allen and he will win those close games more often than not. For now, we get to enjoy dominance and blowouts routinely.

    Our best 5: Knox, Diggs, Singleterry, Davis, Shakir, McKenzie

     

    But the shifts with sets having like Gilliam, Cook, Morris is great. Having Doyle is big, too. 

     

    Dorsey has been rumored to love the 12 personnel package and I'm going to keep hammering this. We can't truly do this with Moris (though, he's blossoming!) but we can emulate some opportunities.

     

    I expect Josh to have a lot of quick throws, a lot of movement with routes and timing, and keeping it more basic than we expected - including pre snap. 

    It’s Doyle out for the year with an ACL injury?

    How do you explain almost losing to Baltimore then?  My point is that we are likely to come up against some other challenge in the last 11 games of the season and lose.  Are you thinking we win out after Green Bay?   

    Any Given Sunday and all that. It’s hard to expect any team to go on a 10+ game run. We definitely will come up against some other challenges, I just didn’t consider the Miami loss as laying an egg, that’s a total over exaggeration.

     

    Even though Baltimore was a challenge, we overcome two big time early turnovers that cost points, and we shut them out the second half. Good teams overcome struggles, and we did. Not every game is going to be perfect, especially against good teams, and Baltimore is a good team.

    Even if you give them a 90% chance to win each of those games (which is likely aggressive), then there’s only a 31% chance that they don’t lose any of them.  Drop the 90% to 85%, then the chance of winning 11 in a row is 17%.

     

    After the Bills trounced the Titans, would you have thought they’d go into Miami and lay an egg?  They almost lost the next week again at the Ravens!  Yes, they can be dominant, but there’s many games on the remaining schedule that they can also lose.

    I don’t consider the Miami loss as laying an egg. Laying an egg is how we lost to JAX last year. The Miami loss is as good of a loss as can be possible. If not for the heat exhaustion, Josh hits McKenzie for a td and we win.

    Great win by the Bills! Seeing Keenum again brought about some reminders of his play.

     

    This is the second blowout where Josh Allen moved the offense at will, then Keenum comes in and looks totally lost. Can barely get a first down. Doesn’t score at all.

     

    Here are the Keenum led drives:

     

    Punt

    Punt

    Punt

    Punt

    End of game

     

    Barkley at least could move the offense a little bit after coming in from 2018 to 2020. Even won a game starting. No, he wasn’t great - i’m not making that argument.

     

    Here is my question: Does anyone have confidence that Keenum can win a game if he ever needed to? 

    You realize the Bills dialed it back and where not concerned with points? It was no turnovers, no injuries, and no giving away of anything special play wise like pre season. That’s what they wanted to do, and it was a success. Your assuming you know what the strategy was when Keenum came in, I don’t think your assumption is correct.

    He didn't have to quit the Bills practice squad to open himself up for opportunities. Any team could have signed him to their active roster.

    Sounds like he wants to go to another teams practice squad that has a better chance of leading to him being elevated, because it’s clear we weren’t going to.

    and a buzzer for the 40 second play clock. How can they not figure out delay of game? Do it like the NBA 24 second shot clock. It's not complicated

    EXACTLY! If your going to give them a full second when it hits 0, add a damn second to the play clock. It should be delay of game the instant 0 is reached. I would like to see something like a buzzer as well, it would make it more distinguishable for ALL.

    And sorry, Captain.. my point being, we don’t know if it was the doctor, people within the Dolphins organization, or the NFL…. But someone was responsible for putting him back on the field last week and this game….

    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.

    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.
