Michael Robinson made a good point on the post game show. He said if you take Hurts off of Philly and Allen off of Buffalo which team would be better? There no doubt Philly has such a stronger infrastructure on offense If you truly look at the award as going to the player who is the most valuable - it’s probably Allen or Burrow with Mahomes a close third

This is definitely happening. They will find a replacement for Saffold and I doubt they’ll go down the veteran stop gap route that they did this season w/ Saffold. Bigger question remains whether they move on from Brown. They showed a lot of faith in him this season and he’s been just as inconsistent and injury prone as he was last year. Also the health of Mitch Morse now becomes a factor.

This is a very good point. Part of the reason why Houston was able to come back was because the Bills offense turned the ball over and couldn’t generate any offense. Josh played incredibly bad for most of the second half

I don’t think this is true. Most NFL don’t risk injuries in practice - yet there’s plenty of defenses in the NFL who tackle well. We saw one last in the Jets. The Bills defense has struggled with tackling from time-to-time. I’ve noticed that Hamlin does a very poor job with choosing angles.

Sanchez and the PBP man in the booth were just bad. The Bills clearly got the NFLN B-team. I did feel that Sanchez was trying to emulate Tony Romo and he sounded like a second rate version. The PBP guy he was paired with said Miami took the lead for the first time in the 3rd, and then had to say he was wrong haha

I think they do need to have a shorter passing game at times. Sometimes it seems that routes are either slow developing routes or deep passes which don’t have time to develop because of pass protection

Isn’t their Special Team coach Denny Crossman?

Looks like Jeff Wilson is actually playing Sunday. I was certain he would be able to but was limited in practice today I was certain Wilson would be out…

Thats because he was trying to sustain the drive and run more time off the clock. Given how the Bills running attack is, I’m fairly certain there’s a better chance the Bills pick up the first down with 1 run and 2 versus passes as opposed to 3 runs. To his credit Dorsey has dialed up some good play pass called late in the game that should’ve killed the clock - instead they were dropped by Diggs (MIN) and Knox (NYJ) Same but wasn’t the ball dropped by Singletary? Not a hard catch to make

Looks like they didn’t have to make that call - Channel 4 did

I listened and while I love Isaiah’s confidence, I’m not quite sure the self-assessment of his performance is as accurate as he depicts. He’s claiming he’s been getting open but just hasn’t gotten the ball and needs more targets. But he’s also had some very untimely drops this season that he hasn’t acknowledged. So while I think it’s fair to say he needs more opportunities, it’s also fair that’s he’s been fairly inconsistent when called upon.

You’d think they would have acted already

Yeah but he still is a member of WIVB digital and that is where he got the credentials issued. They still have not fired him as of now

ACL’s are so brutal. What makes it worse is that it was on natural turf.

It does make you wonder but I’m against this idea because Jerry still works for 2 legit news organizations that cover the team. I think the Bills PR staff will be conscious of how the move would be perceived. As much as they might not like them, the organization needs the media and doesn’t want to give the appearance that they’ll boot you if a reporter asks a critical question. It would have to be more personal of a situation

Won’t happen

The virtue signaling on this one from fans on Twitter. He was stripped of his credentials after he left the Buffalo News and worked for that small ESPN radio station

It wasn’t just Beane though… He went at the end of the 2nd so nearly every team passed on DK - including some who drafted receivers like JJ Arcega Whiteside and Andy Isabella over him. There were some concerns with how Metcalf would transition to the NFL. Obviously selecting Cody Ford was a terrible terrible pick but I don’t think DK was as sure of a pick as you make him out to be. Fans wanted him because he was big, fast and ridiculously jacked.

Not just that, but the Hines usage especially is baffling to me. For years we’ve watched ways that teams can draw up a few plays for a specific gadget player - don’t see much of this in Buffalo despite having players like Hines, McKenzie, Shakir, and Brown - all who could be good for a screen or special play

There’s no doubt he realizes it

The fact they need to sign these veteran WR’s in December is really an indictment of the personnel department (Beane & co), Dorsey, and players like Gabe Davis but especially Isaiah McKenzie. The Bills doubled down that last year’s WR talent would improve. They’ve mostly been the same players as they were last year in a reserve role. Whose fault is that? Dorsey for not utilizing them properly? The WR’s themselves? It were they just never starting caliber to begin with?

Dumb comment by Jerry. Seems like men “cheerlead” as much as the women - especially when it comes to Josh Allen. With that being said, there’s people calling for him to be fired from his gigs at Channel 4 and Niagara Gazette on Twitter. It just comes off as weak. Dumb, out-of-touch comment? Yes. Reason to be fired? Probably not. It also should be noted that there’s somewhat of a method to his approach. He sees himself as an old-time print columnist who’s job is to be a provocateur with strong opinions. There’s a few other people like him that still exist - Dan Shaugnessey of The Boston Globe comes to mind - but the sports columnist position pretty much died with the traditional newspaper. This comment just seems like a lapse in judgement but challenging Bills players and coaches is an orchestrated attempt to get a reaction He was talking about women fans though… not women reporters. Still a dumb comment but he wasn’t insulting female reporters

I think at this point, it’s more about San Francisco’s QB friendly offensive system. If Shanahan can run his offense and has good personnel, QB’s are usually successful if they do a decent job reading the field and don’t turn the ball over. We saw this not only with Jimmy G but also with mediocre QB’s like Nick Mullens and CJ Betheard both who started out fast. Historically though, there’s been a limit with how far they can go before defenses catch up. We’ll see what happens this season

Bills are gonna have their hands full with this big fat dynamo. He wrecks OL’s and flys around the field like crazy

Everything said here is 100% spot on. I do think that Dorsey (as well as Allen) are struggling with mixing up check downs and shot plays
