Like I said, if the dolphins go in to Baltimore and win the ramifications for this game will be huge.
Dolphins played us pretty tight in the 2nd game in Buffalo last year despite ultimately losing.
At some point they are going to beat the Bills again and week 3 presents a prime opportunity for that.
Any given Sunday and all, but this Bills team is WAY better than the Dolphins. If Tua can’t throw deep, I Imagine the Bills win by 10+.

What a contrast from another former OC Hackett, when with 20 seconds to play and trailing by one, he choses to have McManus attempt a 64-yard field goal for the win instead of letting Wilson try to lead a play on fourth-and-5 at the Seahawks' 46-yard line.
End of the day, higher percentage of making a 4th & 5 with Wilson than a 64 yard FG.
It’s worse than that though. The Broncos could have took a timeout (they had 3, or maybe 2 min) and had 40+ seconds on the clock and 4th and 5. They should have gone for the first down for sure, I can’t believe they didn’t.

I'm sorry, but I can't imagine a context in which "he looked like a baby that's finally learned to potty" is an appropriate take for one of the best QBs in the league coming off a major victory where he spent most of the game in Sicko Mode
As bad as his take was, he was trying to say Allens command of the offense was such that he, “has it” now or aka he can potty now. Horrible I know, but this was the take in full context.

Maybe I missed this discussed via McD post game, or the discussion on here…
The Bills leave themselves short handed on the outside with just Diggs, Davis, Kumerow when Shakir is inactive.
An injury to our #1 or #2 would have us forced to use certain personnel, with Knox as the split end, or possibly force Kumerow into action.
I think TD Jesus is a capable WR, but I’d rather have the rook be available to step in, instead of have all three RBs (Single, Moss, Cook) active each week. It is not necessary.
Thoughts?
It was just one week, I’d venture to guess there will be some minor changes from week to week. This last game, Davis had nearly all of the offensive snaps (he sat out 2, one being the kneel down). Certainly an injury could have cost them, but it also seems the Bills were prepared to keep Davis in all game, while rotating, Diggs, McKenzie, Crowder, and a little Kumrow sprinkled in. Diggs had around 65% of the snaps, down a bit from last seasons use.
Let’s see how the next couple of weeks shake out. Shakir looked very good in pre season, I have to imagine he won’t be inactive all the time even without injuries to the wr group.
12 hours ago, The Wiz said:I do. Moss is the better run blocker and titans can rush.
Miss might be a better pass blocker, but Singletary isn’t bad at that at all. I didn’t see last years pass blocking metrics, but Moss’s rookie year he was ranked number 1, while Singletary was top 5. So it’s really splitting hairs to keep Moss around because he is a better pass blocker.
I will say this about Moss, even though his numbers from game 1 aren’t great, he looked better than last year. There are a few runs where he looked dead to rights in the backfield and worked some magic just to make it a couple yard game, so he can’t be judged on numbers alone.
We honestly need Cook to step up and prove he can be relied upon, because having all 3 active each week isn’t what we need in the long run. Moss and Singletary are too redundant.

For a RB that is kind of smug and full of himself, boy did he disappoint. He will never make it in the NFL if he can’t: A) Hold onto the football and B) Run between the tackles.
I see a player who has top 10 potential, but his personality is a bit abrasive to me. For a guy who hasn’t proven a darn thing, I see no reason for him to have such a disproportionate level of confidence. Yup, you made it to the NFL, your brother is a good player, you were drafted in the 2nd round, but keep in mind that even a player drafted in the 7th round can eat your lunch if you’re not careful.
When I’ve listened to Cook, I didn’t get that impression at all. He came across as quiet, shy, and didn’t elaborate too much. I don’t think he has found his comfort zone talking in front of cameras yet, but that was my impression.

Agreed, but Lamar was 7-5 with the same injured squad prior to his injury.
Huntley has looked good - especially Preseason against Vanilla teams. Even coming in he has showed well, but even putting up nice numbers - he could not get the wins that Lamar got costing them a shot at the playoffs.
Yeah, Huntley isn’t a star. The point I was trying to make is, Huntley could lead a good team. He’s definitely serviceable, but the AFC is ago stacked at QB, you pretty much need a star QB.

I don't recall it backfiring. It gives Frasier a chance to see the offensive set and make adjustments if desired. Whether it works or not is hard to say but if there are unused TO's at the end of a half (particularly the first half), why not?
I too like the strategy, but remember, “13 seconds”, we took timeouts before each of those plays 🤦♂️

I don’t disagree, but Huntley was only 1-3 last season as a starter versus 7-5 for Lamar. I think the Ravens like him, but it is not like he is something special - I think they still need to get something if they are moving on from Jackson.
1-3 yes, but that squad was so banged up last year, it’s hard to use it as an example. Lamar is certainly better than Huntley, but Huntley did look serviceable in my opinion, and he’s the perfect backup to Lamar.

If the Bills continue to rely on Moss to lead the team in touches, it's going to cost them wins.
6 carries for 15 yards, and 1 fumble. That's 2.5 yards per carry.
6 catches for 21 yards on 6 targets. 3.5 yards per catch. (credit to Moss for catching all 6 targets)
12 total touches/targets for 36 yards or 3 yards per touch.
The Bills attempted 31 passes and ran the ball 24 times (excluding the final kneel down).
55 offensive plays and Moss got the ball on 12 or 21.8% of the total.
More than 1 in 5 plays went to Moss. Yet he accounted for 36 of 412 total yards of offense. 8.7% of the total yards, or about 1 in 12.
Midway into the 3rd Moss accounted for +25% of the total touches. That's more than 1 in 4.
In one of the best offenses in the league Moss consistently has put up pedestrian like numbers. He's average on a good day and below average on most days. He's the least talented and least effective player on offense, yet we give him the largest share of the touches. It's mind blowing.
And it's not like feeding Moss the ball stopped Allen from taking hits either...
I don't see how giving the worst offensive skill player on the team the most touches is a winning strategy in the long term.
Part of the high touch count is two fold. One the Rams were forcing Allen to the take the underneath stuff (granted Singletary could have been in over Moss), and secondly, Cook’s fumble most certainly cost him reps this game.
I agree Moss didint look overly special, I would have liked to see more Singletary, but I don’t think the Bills are game planning to give Moss 20% plus of the offenses touches, things happen and Allen took what was available most of the night. Context really does matter when discussing numbers such as you are.

Once again, what did YOU do that helped the Bills win last night? I'll start...
I did not wear any Bills related clothing and I played on my phone the entire game, keeping the game on for just background noise, only looking up from time to time to see how they were doing.
I haven’t cut my hair since the start of the 2021 playoffs (normally it’s every 3 weeks) and the Bills retained their 2021 playoff magic. You can thank me later 😎.

Phillips had 2 sacks and led the Bills in pressures last night. Played exactly the way I remember when he was here the first time except he looks like he is much improved versus the run.
Perhaps Settle and Jones contributed to the whole d-line containing the run more? Star wasn’t doing enough while hear, and Phillips isn’t known to be a run stopper. The whole d-line looks better and obviously Miller is a big part of that, but so are Settle, Jones, Phillips. It’s hard to give the credit to one guy, especially when the whole d-line produced last night. We need to see more over the next weeks to really begin to understand who are the true game wreckers outside of Miller. With all that being said, it’s sure nice having Phillips back!

My point still stands. The Rams will not be a top team this season. Great win, but this year's Rams team is not as good as last year's.
The NFC isn’t nearly as strong as the AFC and the Rams have great talent on their team, add that it’s the first game of the season, they will be fine, barring major injury, the Rams are guaranteed playoff team.
The Bills are damn good, and Allen was basically his 2021 playoff version, which is damn near unstoppable. Then add to the number 1 defense a true game changing pass rusher, it’s no wonder the Rams struggled. Any team in the league would struggle against the Bills playing the way the Bills did.
Rams division is tough sure, but Murray has shown he can be trusted for a full season, and Lance is no guarantee, while Jimmy G. is limited if they end up going that route. Donald was kept in check tonight, I don’t think that happens most games, he’s a game wrecker.
Your reaction feels very similar to many peoples reaction after our opening loss to the Stealers last year. The season is long, there are ebbs and flows, and the Rams are very talented. Do you think they will have a Super Bowl hangover and not be as hungry this year? Why do you feel the Rams will be so much worse? In addition, who would you rank above them in the NFC? Packers (new wr’s) Bucs (banged up o-line) Eagles (young developing Hurts, but not a lot of weaknesses) Any one of those 3 have potential issues that may arise as well.

Except I think the records show two interceptions? Two interceptions, two fumbles and a bad kick off.Yet, the other stats still stand and thus the record. Pretty cool especially when considering we’ve barely punted the last handful of games.

We exposed Josh a lot. We turned the ball over too much. A good team will turn that against us fast. Great win, but it’s not sustainable. We don’t win that game if it’s vs the Titans.
The other way to look at this win is, we played a good team in the defending super bowl champs, while overcoming many turnovers that when cleansed up, this team is VERY scary! I mean, we do don’t punt and we hand a 90% conversion rate on third down. Do you honestly think they will keep turning the ball over so much?

I'm starting to get mine now. I watched a couple of the hype videos, watched the GMFB and other sports shows....I'm feeling it now.
For the regular season games that aren't "big games"...I don't get it until like an hour before the game.
Big games like this, playoff games or prime time games....I start getting getting them the morning of. This one, probably because of the hype...2 days before.
I'm doing the bare minimum at work today. Just enough not to get noticed that I'm doing nothing.
Before the start of regular season I’m like a kid before Christmas, I can hardly sleep (fortunately I’m on the west coast). I’m like that every year for the start of the season.
But for big games, I usually get excited a couple days before and playoffs, I’m excited the whole week before.
Thursday can’t get here soon enough!

As good as the Bills look to be, they are facing the Rams offense with two rookie cornerbacks. The only way to protect them is with a monster pass rush, and as a matter of fact that might very well happen. If the O line can contain Donald, the Bills should score score score.
I never bet but if I did I'd give the points and take the Bills.
Don’t know if you meant it to sound that way, but we will NOT be starting two rookie cb’s (baring injury). Only 1 will be starting opposite Dane, and I’m sure they will be rotated early and the better will get the majority of snaps (which is even better than having just 1).
Besides the one rookie cb starting, we have Poyer, Hyde, Johnson, and Dane. That’s not a bad secondary by any means, and statements like yours greatly over exaggerate the status of our secondary.
41 minutes ago, Mr. WEO said:They've yet to show any inclination to limit his running attempts (granted many are not planned runs).
Either way, any 3 TDs for +1200! He had 4 vs the #8 D in points allowed (KC). Rams were #7 last year--Miller's on the other side now...
I’m sure Josh’s planned runs will be limited this year, but I also don’t think they will dial it back while in the redzone during meaningful parts of games (so not when we are blowing a team out). Josh’s running (both called and scrambles) in the redzone is a such a weapon making our redzone offense so potent.

Russ will be 34 in November. Smaller guy, with a lot of wear and tear. He belongs on the list of top tier QB's for sure. But I see him falling off a cliff at an age much before someone like Rodgers.
Last year was the first time Russ missed time due to injury and it was a finger or thumb. He honestly hasn’t been very injury prone, and he doesn’t scramble like he used to. There isn’t any indication that he is about to fall off of the cliff anytime soon, especially considering the recent trend of QB longevity, which can most likely be attributed to the protections qb’s have had the last handful of years.

That is true fights in general would generally get you punished, still no suspension for that fight Josh started, the helmet makes it interesting though.
The helmet makes it different. I believe the Bills FO would do something if even Allen was bashing people with a helmet (rightfully so in my opinion, you can’t tolerate that behavior).

I'd say your full of crap because no one honestly knows.
The very well might be down the road but asking 2 pure rookies (regardless of draft status) to play at an effective level from day one against an offense like the Rams is foolish and shortsighted thinking by this team.
Beane loves to think he's the smartest guy in the room and the fans that grovel over him feed narrative, but he's already proven to be dead wrong so many times and not signing a veteran QB on a team with SB aspirations shows his lack of foresight.
Beane and the staff also have much more inside knowledge than us. They see the players day in and out, and they clearly felt comfortable with Jackson. Is it so crazy to expect a 1st round rookie to start week 1?
It appears the coaching staff has more faith in Jackson and a rookie 1st round (maybe 6th if Benford pans out) over Jackson and Wallace. Would you be so worried if we had Jackson and Wallace to start the season? I’m sure you wouldn’t, and the staff clearly felt more comfortable moving in a different direction. Add to that, the FO hasn’t brought a veteran in yet, which further illustrates that they are comfortable with what they have.
Not saying it’s the right choice. But you are legitimately complaining about a 1st round rookie starting week 1? Why? The expectation is that first round rookies start right away. I’m sure there will be some lessons learned for the rook, but that’s to be expected, but I’m also sure, they Bills defense will be very good and the rookie CB will not hold the defense back.

No I don't understand that, he wasn't let go he was signed by the Steelers as a free agent. He wasn't the only defensive back to have a terrible game, both our all pro safeties got lit up also. I prefer a guy who has been there and done that, having 2 rookies trying to learn the ropes in a SB window is just irresponsible. Again if both the rookies play like all pro's then they dodged a bullet but if they don't we may be scrambling to find some help. I don't hate the Bills or the coaching staff and I'm not saying we'll lose every game because of it but it seems we've neglected to add veterans back there for some odd reason.
Only 1 rookie is starting, the other spot is Dane’s. It’s not the same, but McDermott drafted White at 27 and he started as a rookie.
Knowing we would most likely need a body to play opposite of Dane while White recovers, the FO took another 1st round CB with similar intentions as the year White was drafted. I don’t think that’s a bad plan at all. I also thought a vet would be brought in, but, I also trust this front office, especially with DB’s.
I personally believe if the Bills weren’t happy with what they were seeing in training camp/preseason, they would bring in a vet. I think Benford stepping up was nice pleasant surprise and it will be interesting to see who can lock down the spot opposite Dane, until White gets back.

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!
