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 a first round CB was to fill the hole next to White
No, that’s not the case. Dane Jackson proved he could fill that hole last year when White was out. If Dane Jackson could preform with Levi Wallace opposite of him, clearly he can with White opposite of him.
Drafting a cb in the first was absolutely done with the idea White may be out for some time, and trying to pair top end talent to work with Dane during White’s absence. Getting Benford and him looking good is an added bonus.

It’s unfathomable how he and Stevenson could be drafted in the same range.
Two different drafts completely. Stevenson’s draft wasn’t deep at all, it was considered one of the weakest drafts in many years, where as, Shakir’s draft was considered one of the deepest in many years. Not all drafts are the same, even though there is always 7 rounds.
3 minutes ago, FilthyBeast said:Hope this team is smart and gets him in the lineup quickly and doesn't insist on wasting snaps on McKenzie, who IMO should not even be on this roster to begin with.
He will be worked in, and how much so will depend on how he does and how McKenzie does. I personally believe McKenzie is going to surprise many this year, but I also think the same of Shakir. The difference is, I believe Shakir will be moved around more, where McKenzie will be primarily slot.

Well 2 days ago on nfl network mike giardi said staff was raving about him the whole time he had been there. Add that to the fact that we didn’t see a whole lot of him in games and I would guess they’ve got some planned hidden gems with his name on it coming up.
Exactly this. McDermott is all about brining rookies along slowly, which means pre-season reps. The fact that he didn’t get a lot, seems to indicate they like what they see and don’t want others seeing it until it counts.

The way the team played last night seemed to be an indication of this whole thing impacting on the field play. Our o-line was no help, but the team didn’t seem to have the same mojo as the first two games.

sorry but he really hasn't done enough to warrant making this team IMHO. he not fast enough and doesn't get much separation. he can stay or go. if we were to keep one boundary guy I would vote for the rookie RB
The separation part is true, but have you seen the grabs he’s been getting? The guy really can catch anything. He seems to be a great contested catcher, and could have some value in short yardage/red zone passing situations.
As the ST snaps graph shows, the Bills are looking for a reason to keep him, which means they like his on field performance too.

Good lord McDermott looks like a deer in headlights there. I’ve seen trauma victims that are more lucid than he is right now.
It’s quite clear his hands were tied as to what he was allowed to say. That’s very common when lawyers are involved.

If I'm going to make the case that justice should apply equally, regardless of station, I'm not using this case as my north star. We already live in a world where that patently isn't true, and it's also likely a HUGE part into why we don't have all the facts. His status as a big time athlete and a college that worked with a police department to bury a lead is the exact type of injustice you should be railing against. He's not the victim here.
Quite frankly, neither you or I know who commuted those acts against that girl. It’s very possible she doesn’t even know. Due process is of the utmost importance at times like these, clearly that’s how the Bills organization feels too. We all know they are run very well, and look how they are handling this situation, they are exercising due process just as they should be. It’s really quite simple.
Also, just because not everyone is treated the same in the world, is not an excuse to treat others differently. We need to be that which we wish to experience, otherwise things inevitably turn to anarchy.

Lets examine this, (With my response in parentheses after each of your statements):
- "It’s pretty easy to tell all the individuals who have their own skeletons in their closets coming out to defend this piece of trash." (It's pretty easy to tell who the individuals are who do not value: due process, the laws passed by our representatives, or the US Constitution in general).
- "Why DEFEND Araiza at all?" (There's no defense of the individual in question, there is a defense of due process.)
- "To silence any other women who have the courage to come forward?" (No one rationale wants to silence anyone else. I would question why anyone would only want the accusers voice to be heard, and who would try to silence the defendant, that failed logic is what needs to be questioned. Additionally, why is your question only focusing on supposedly silencing women? Seems there is a failure to acknowledge and understand that men are also viscously assaulted.)
- "You don’t know anything except charges have been levied." ( I / we all know as much about the charges as you do, assuming you were not directly involved here.)
- "What grounds do you have to defend such abhorrent accusations?" (As previously covered, the grounds to defend the accusations are based on defending due process at large, and not just an individual. Additionally, with the same vigor to determine if the accusations are true, the justice system also needs to take equal effort to determine if the accusations are false.)
- "Every stupid emoji, every baseless defense on indefensible actions speaks volumes to your own personal character, and which virtues you hold true, if any." (I agree, including yours.)
- "If any of you taking the stance of blindly defending this dbag just because he he’s got a Buffalo on his helmet, as your wives what they think, or daughters, or mothers." (I do think of my wife, daughter and mother. But it would be false logic to believe abuse is limited to females. We also need to think of the husbands, sons and fathers.)
If my logic or conclusions are flawed, flame away, I'm here to learn; I'm interested in the truth. On the other hand, I'm not too interested in biased viewpoints and I'm skeptical of those who try to suppress the viewpoints of others, (Via supposed shaming, etc). In the apparent absence of continued / imminent danger to the accuser (She's getting the therapy and support she needs / deserves - the defendant is no where near her), let the punter have his job till due process dictates otherwise.
You covered this very well! Thank you for responding to that incredibly short sighted post in such an articulate manner.

I completely agree - that's why my solution from the very beginning was to release him regardless of guilt or innocence. You take all emotion and judgement out of the equation and you solve the problem. If he's innocent, you can try to re-sign him, and if he ends up getting picked up elsewhere, he's just a punter. Grab a new one next year.That’s not a good look either. It’s about more than him, “just being a punter”. Would you want to be part of an organization that treats people differently based on who they are or what they do? I surely wouldn’t, and there is a good chance that would turn away others too.
There is no easy answer when things like this happen, but the right path is following pre established plans (even if it was to get rid of someone at the onset of the accusation, but clearly, that’s not the Bills plan).

The goalposts of this thing will forever move for some folks. If he gets charged, there will be the "what about the trial" crowd. When the trial starts, there will be "what about the verdict" crowd, if a guilty plea comes down it'll be the "what about the appeal" crowd, and once all that's exhausted it'll probably be "deep state" or whatever.
The only way that this dude is 100% innocent is if he didn't have sex with her, didn't drug her and had ZERO idea anything suspect was going on. Any other scenario and he's some level of negligent to guilty. If he's got an alibi, now's the time, because I don't see it getting better for him.By and large the vast majority on this thread are simply saying, a decision shouldn’t be made based on the court of public opinion. But instead, due diligence should be exercised in order to get as much facts as possible and then make an informed decision whether that be releasing him or not.
There really is nothing worse than those who jump to conclusions based on emotion. That’s a recipe for disaster not success!

I know he is a distraction and is just a punter. That is all I need to know.
It’s about more than the punter though. It’s about the Bills acting in a way that won’t be prohibitive to signing other players in the future.
This current Bills organization is a very high character organization. They aren’t going to make rash, emotional decisions. They are going to follow their pre established plans and act accordingly at the conclusion of following those plans. In this case, if the Bills believe the rape accusations to be true, I can’t imagine they wouldn’t release him, and justifiably so.
What would you say if Josh had such an accusation made against him? Would you still want the Bills to make a rushed emotional decision and move on? Would you be willing to forgive him?
For me personally, I wouldn’t want anyone on the team who was proven to have raped another (proven being the key word btw). However, as it relates to this instance (or any like it), if the Bills believe that Araiza acted in the wrong, while not being 100% definite, that should be enough to pull plug (I would hope so). Just the same, due diligence must be exercised first in an effort to adhere to the high standard the Bills organization adheres too.
Last night was a dominant win. But there was one obvious weak link holding us back... Zach Moss (lead the team in touches)
in The Stadium Wall
Posted
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.
