    Like posted earlier, if Bills medical staff had any reason to believe there was structural damage I don’t think they would have let him walk to the locker room.

     

    With that said, if it wasn’t that bad of an injury seems like they would have let him stay on the bench for the rest of the game. 

     

    Thats just completely false.  Guys with ACL injuries walk to the locker room all the time, even walk on it for days later.

     

    The way the trainers were pointing to on their knee explaining it, was definitely ACL.

    Assuming win tonight:
    Win next week, play Indianapolis or Miami, host Divisional, potential to host AFCCG
    Rest/lose next week, play Baltimore or Cleveland, road Divisional, less likely to host AFCCG

     

    Frankly, I can't believe people are even contemplating resting.

     

    Allen gets hurt and where do you end up?

    Why would we want a lower seeding if no 2 seed is in play?

     

    Because I understand that injuries could absolutely kill everything and that is mission number 1. 

     

    If we win this week, we will have to try and win next to secure the 2nd seed without any help.  I would rather not have to play starters in week 17 to avoid Balt.  We can avoid Balt and rest by losing both games.

    Yeah. No way I'd go scalper route. It's for me, so it's not like the kids will be disappointed. I'm fine with waiting it out. Also gives some time to get a console where the bugs are worked out. 

     

    I had luck checking in on a twitch stream that tracked when stores were selling them.

     

    The name of the cam was killercam1020.  The best bet is the comments people are leaving.  They are usually ahead of the stream and will tell you where they are having luck right at that moment.

    Why would you not swap them and make Barkley the quarantined emergency QB for the week of a game that has no meaning?

     

    At some point the Bills need to make a decision, who would you rather see play if Allen gets COVID for playoffs?  If it is Barkley, they need to separate him from team 2 weeks from the first playoff game.  I personally think they should.  I think Fromm should be the 2nd string and Barkley goes into quarantine after the NE game.

    I agree with run support aspect of a slot corner.  
     

    I also think that if hamler is being guarded by Norman, it’s a complete mismatch and we will pay for it if he doesn’t have help over top.  Hamler is more than fast. He is twitchy fast and can get in and out of breaks in a way that Norman will likely just fall down.  Norman might be a better matchup for Fant.  Personally, I hope we bring Dane Jackson up and he plays the slot

     

    Stop with this Hamler nonsense.  You are acting like he is Hill.  One game don't make a man

    And have him cover KJ Hamler this week??  Hahahahaha!!  I’d rather go with Neal.  He has true speed

     

    You are giving KJ Hamler way too much respect.  Also, if a slot guy goes deep, he is handed off to the safety in zone coverage.

     

    Neal also did not look good yesterday.  I had hopes for him, but any time he had to play this year, he has looked lost.  He should have stayed at Safety.

     

    Speed at DB is much less of an issue as a slot guy.  That is why you see guys shift inside as they get older.  Norman is a very good run tackler, which is important as a slot CB.

  8. Ended up getting an Xbox Series X at best buy online last Saturday.  It came in for pick up on Thursday, but I picked it up yesterday.

     

    Currently setting it up.

     

    Also bought FIFA 21 and NHL 21 for 50 dollars combined at best buy on Monday, but went to Tops to buy a 50 dollar gift card for 40 dollars so it really only got 20 dollars each per game with tax and everything.

     

    When I set up the Xbox this morning, I ended up doing the game pass for 1 dollar for 3 months.  Won't renew after that, but why not take advantage of the 3 worst weather months in Buffalo and try out some of those games.

     

    It was much harder to get the PS5, but if I had my choice between either, I think I would have ended up with the Xbox.  Most my friends play on Xbox and I'm a huge Halo guy from the beginning.  Haven't played it in years because I haven't played any gaming in probably 8 years, but looking forward to trying out the new one when it comes out.

    He does have an occasional snapping issue - I grant you that. The sacks against Seattle were mainly on blitz pickup and I think we do miss Morse there in helping set protections - although two of them are just absolute whifs by Knox and Singletary. Once the ball is snapped Feliciano gets significantly more push than Morse. 

     

    Push where??  In the running game?  Our running game has been beyond bad with Feliciano at center.  Morse is also significantly better at swinging in the run game than Feliciano.  We really miss Spain in that aspect too.

     

    Go back and watch Singletary from last year.  Morse and Spain constantly leading him down field.

    Definitely agree Feliciano is a better center than guard (and the best center on the roster). Think that has been pretty obvious from day 1. As for the best combo I think it depends what the question is. If the question is purely focused on run game then I agree it is not out of the question. I think once you are looking at the big picture the chances become pretty remote. Especially because the Bills have acknowledged they are a pass first team. 

     

    If it wasn't for Josh Allen being really tall, Feliciano would have multiple snaps over the QBs head a game.  The guy is not a good center at all.  He had this issue last year too when he had to fill in.

     

    I seriously question whether people even watch the games.

     

    Feliciano as center in Seattle gave up 7 sacks and our RBs ran for 1.72 ypc.

     

    In Arizona we ran for a little over 3 ypc.

    👀

     

    I like Feliciano.  I actually think he may be a bit better at center than Morse, particularly on run-blocking plays

     

    But I also think he's a much better guard than either Winters or Boettger

     

     

    Feliciano has not been good at center.  Really watch him.  His snaps are all over the place, he is missing blocks, and opening up zero holes in the middle.  He is an above average guard, below average center.  The decision by McDermott was horrible and will be sabotage if he continues to sit Morse.

    You may have an argument when discussing Wallace and his value as an asset in this zone defense McDermott runs as you don't need to be a superstar to be effective. But Taron Johnson has been a heaping pile of hot garbage this season. He's been the victim of inexplicable big play after big play, getting roasted on a weekly basis. 

     

    I want to try Norman as slot corner.  I think he could be a lot better than Taron.  Norman's speed will be less of an issue in the slot and he can be physical there.

     

    When they first signed him, I thought he would be kicking inside because of the non-existent speed.  He hasn't been healthy when Levi was also healthy, so we haven't known what the plan is.

  13. With Levi Wallace missing some games back to the end of last season, and now this season, I had this feeling that we just win more with Levi in the lineup.

     

    I pulled the data this morning, and it is pretty staggering how much he means to this team.

     

    Levi became a regular on this team in Week 10 of 2018.  Since that time, there has been a possible 34 games he could have played in.

     

    In games that he has played 60% or more of the snaps, the Bills are 18-6.  In games where he didn't play 60% or more (this includes games he played 0% because he was hurt), the Bills are 3-7.

     

    This year alone the Bills are 5-0 where he played more than 60% and 2-3 where he was hurt/COVID.

     

    He may make some mistakes, but the guy clearly brings an element that we can replicate when he is injured.

    That’s so stupid. The same thing happened to me when I was trying to buy the PS5. 
     

    Once you add it to your cart it would be nice if you at least got a few minutes to check out. People shouldn’t be able to steal it from your cart as your checking out.
     

    The real issue is all the damn scalpers using bots to instant buy them as soon as they come into stock. They need to find a better way to combat them, but I’m not sure if these retailers actually care since a sale is a sale to them and it’s keeping demand high.

    It’s almost impossible to compete against. Unless you also use a bot.

     

    I guess it’s a big thing in the sneaker business. Scalpers use bots to buy any of the new popular sneaker launches to resell for double or more. I read that now a lot of those same people are focusing their energy on the consoles (due to lack of new sneaker launches of something iirc).

     

    What's the chances these bots are made by Sony and Microsoft and its a way to sell their consoles for much more without looking like they are price gauging?

    Got the PS5 last night and I love it. Too soon to say if I like it more than the Xbox but so far I might...

     

    The haptic controller really makes it feel next generation. I didn’t really think it was that big a deal until I tried it. It’s really cool. I can’t wait to see how game developers use it. I read that in the new call of duty, every single gun in the game has a different program for the controller so they all feel slightly different to shoot. 

     

    So you can only buy one, which one you go with? 

     

    Whatever one you say, I'm buying.  You seem to have way more knowledge about this stuff than the average people, including me, so I respect what you say.

     

    Just want the best game play for COD, FIFA, and NHL.
