This team has good wide receiver depth. Some dudes gonna have to step up big this Sunday
Let’s hope..: I can tell you’re a very positive person. That’s hard to be as a Bills fan sometimes

I know it’s hard to see some of our players on the Covid list, but man, look at Baltimore.
Yikes! They’ve been decimated in someway or another all year.
Why does the NFL delay games for Cleveland but not Baltimore? Or any other team affected by COVID?

judging by his likes of Beasley's tweet rants earlier this year, I'd be surprised if Davis was vaxxed.
Thought the same but you can’t go by that. McKenzie, Poyer and Feliciano all supported him. They are all vaxxed
Just now, Steptide said:Yes there is with 2 negative tests (I believe)
Right but that’s never happened. You test positive for longer than 2 days

This sucks, BUT he could still possibly play Sunday, Davis that is
Not gonna happen. He just went on the COVID list. There’s no chance he’s off it in 2 days

Man this sucks…No Beasley, Davis, Dawkins, Feliciano, or Ford.
Another shuffled OL. This is going to end very badly for Buffalo

Not everyone on this lists are “experts.” Many of them are fans just like us with a blog.
Second, the ratio is 54-46. Nearly 50/50.
Third, the Bills were slightly favored on pickwatch in the first matchup. How’d that work out.

They can also make more space by getting out of contracts -

It’s Judgment Day in a lot of ways for the 2021 Buffalo Bills on Sunday against the New England Patriots.
Actually, let’s call it Judgment Day, Part 1, since the final judgment on the Bills will be made based on what they do in January.
• Can Sean McDermott avoid being outcoached by Bill Belichick?
• Did Brandon Beane build a team geared toward beating the Kansas City Chiefs and fail to keep a keener eye on beating the Patriots?
• Can Brian Daboll find the right adjustments against the defensive wizardry of his chief pro football mentor?
Good article but a few things stuck out to me:
”It’s also on McDermott to manage the game flawlessly, because Belichick is brilliant at game management.”
Belichick is a brilliant game manager? Wasn’t he criticized for his game management last week. I’d say he’s good but wouldn’t call him “brilliant” when it comes to game management.
“Coaching is huge, but Belichick is right. The players have to execute.
Hughes, Addison and Lotulelei have three of the top six salary cap figures on the team this year. The Bills need a good finish to the season from all three.”
Yeah so this isn’t happening. None of these three will have any impact on the game. They’ve been largely invisible all season long and might make a nice play here or there - but they aren’t affecting the game in a big way.

He argues that this year is THE year, because starting next year the Bills won't be able to afford to keep all the good players, let alone replace the problems on the O line. This is largely due to Josh Allen's big contract starting to take big bites out of the salary cap. And since the Bills aren't playing as well as they did last year, it's curtains for us. Reading into what he wrote, if he's right about this, it's back to mediocrity, and quite possibly this year could be the start of a new drought if we can't beat NE on Sunday. Or we can make the playoffs and beat anyone. Who knows.
One statement that caught my eye is that the Bills have drafted well. "Although the Bills have consistently drafted well the past few years, it’s fair to say some regression may be on the way, as is usually the case with teams that string together a few good drafts." We look at how other teams have filled holes like ours -- KC has two rookies starting on their O line, and playing great, while we have Rousseau and Basham getting pushed around, and Epenesa hardly playing. Zach Moss and Cody Ford look like busts. McBeane seem unable to evaluate talent on either line.
Most of all, the fire has gone out. Last year for a couple of months the Bills played like they simply couldn't lose, no matter who they played. This year they consistently lose the close games and beat up on the weak sisters. This is not how a proud, championship team behaves. The Bills peaked with the KC win -- their best game of the year, by far -- but the Tennessee loss changed them. They haven't had the same spirit ever since.
The Bills seem to have good leadership among the players, but no one is actually getting his teammates to buckle down. We're still getting stupid penalties, dropped coverages on D, careless turnovers on offense, and long stretches where the offense can't complete a simple swing pass. The focus and concentration are not there anymore.
I hope Andersen is wrong, but if he's right the Bills have no one to blame but themselves.
It should be noted this article was was written by a Boston radio DJ in an attempt to boost engagement/interest during Bills-Patriots week.Its a weak attempt to get attention and many of the people here, including the OP, fell for it.

Yes I've posted Diggs #'s being down and was told that was due to coverages and all the options Allen has..... Well down another this week (thanks Cole) and time to put up or shut up (i.e. Daboll draw up plays to get it to him).
Outside the Jets & Texans games, Diggs, like the offense just not like 2020.

Justin Jefferson was the pick the Bills gave up for him.
I think Diggs is great, just don't think the Bills are using him to his full potential.
I agree they could utilize him a little better but who gives a shot about his “numbers?” It was going to be nearly impossible to duplicate the season he put up last year. This years there’s been so many factors as to why the offense has struggled -

He’s right but many of Feliciano’s teammates were not vaxxed and/or were very outspoken about it. It’s tough to fault people for assuming he was anti-vax-

I think they do everything you can imagine and more. They drop defenders in coverage and bring pressure from the linebackers. They rush Edmunds from the middle and from the outside. They stunt. I will say I can't recall a single jail break blitz where they send 7 guys and play quarters behind them.
Everything is right. Leslie Frazier has tried his best to manufacture a pass rush through blitzing or delays or stunts. The problem is they only seem to get pressure when they blitz. The front four usually is not very at generating a rush.-

It will get worse this week. League-wide. It is what it is.
It’s sucks..:even vaccinated players are getting infected. The Bills have been relatively lucky in terms of only losing a few players at a time to COVID. Let’s hope that continues

I'm rolling with Stevenson. There's some ability there, he needs reps and hopefully his feel can get a little better with experience, then you've got something. McKenzie simply always makes me nervous and I don't want that in a returner.
Im wondering why the Bills can’t get Stevenson on the field for a gadget play like a reverse or shovel pass etc. Get Dion back and run off left tackle with Gabe Davis blocking the outside CB -
Please let that be the last of the COVID list!!!!

Yeah that sucks. It’s crazy how perhaps the two highest profile players to gamble on themselves with the franchise tag (Dak, Godwin) both ended up with season ending injuries. It didn’t make much of a difference for Dak contract wise. Not sure it will be the same way for Godwin

Personally, I think it's crazy that McKittrick was ever benched in the first place. He was a Top 3 Returner in the league and had ONE FUMBLE.
Stevenson hasn't shown me much at all. I am a solid YES on this one.
Interested to see the results of this poll.
Go Beels!
Can someone explain the whole McKittrick thing?
And yes I’ll all for McKenzie getting more time on kickoffs and in the offense. I feels he’s underutilized

he got to hand the ball to Thurman Thomas
An NFL MVP.. that takes touches and touchdowns away
Yeah good point

It’s very crazy to think that the most prolific passer in Bills history, running the most innovative and powerful offense only was able to throw for 32 Touchdowns.
-
The offense is so much better with Davis active. We definitely want to mix in Sanders but Davis deserves to be WR 2

The Ravens have to make a decision on whether or not to pay Lamar. He's obviously a very good player, limited in some respects- yes: but also talented enough to take over a game. But do you give him what could be the biggest contract in league history knowing that he's a big injury and his running skills will deteriorate over time?
From what I've seen from Tyler Huntley, there doesn't seem to be a big drop off between him and Lamar. I wonder if he can get even better with more time and reps.
I wonder if anybody in their front office thinks that the smart play might be to let Lamar walk if he asks for too much and hitch their wagon to Huntley instead.
Huntley might be a better passer than Lamar but Lamar is a much better runner…
Pretty sure they re-sign Lamar but I wouldn’t be shocked to see them try to trade Huntley for a mid-round draft pick

Happy they won? Worried at the lack of confidence in the offensive play calling? Disturbed by the ease they moved the ball on us? Upset by the lack of discipline penalties? What does this game tell us about the rest of the season?
What lack of confidence? It’s an offense with a QB that’s playing behind 2 shaky Tackles against two solid edge rushers.
Should we bring back John Brown for the Patriots game?

It’s an idea that sounds better on paper than in reality. Brown has fallen off a Cliff. There’s a reason he’s a street FA.
