If the price was right, then why not!?!?! But I don’t think the Bills will make a deal. They do have high hopes for Dawson Knox and they like players like Tyler Kroft and Tommy Sweeney. Plus they have been playing a lot of 4 wide. So does it make sense to trade for a player that would be used sparingly and take reps away from a player who could be a rising star?

Hard to sayS. I didn’t notice him at all on Sunday, other than the play where he couldn’t get to Howard before he crossed the goal line

He had the red non-contact jersey Wed. and Thurs then DNP on Friday
Gotcha.... I’m sure he DNP because they ruled him out already. I still think there’s a good chance he returns Sunday. Milano the next week

What did you see? I didn’t notice him on the field Sunday and I haven’t watched the game replay yet -

he participated in two full practices, but I can’t imagine he was a full participant
I believe he was. He’s pretty close. In comparison, Milano wasn’t even at practice, which isn’t good but it also means they expect him back sooner than 3 games. -

Nothing personal...it was strictly business -
AJ had as many tackles as I did Sunday!

Edmunds participated in 2 full practices last week. I do feel that the Bills were confidence they could get by with Dodson for a week.
I have a feeling that he’ll play this week. I can see Milano sitting for another week.

They don't want to put Herbert in there before he is ready
He looked pretty “ready” to me Sunday. While there were plenty of rookie mistakes, he didn’t exactly ***** himself. He’s going to benefit more from actually playing than from watching Tyrod-

The short article is a delicious blend of salt and sarcasm. I like it.
Too bad many were thrilled the team got a #1 for Diggs, said he was going to be a headache and that he was not a true WR1 -

An interesting take on him, these two games and his first two years. Funny how analytics people see the same thing and come to such different conclusions. Some voodoo math going on here. #1 vs. PFFs #12?
I love this paragraph. Aaron Schatz and FO were dunked on so bad their last past analysis of Allen. This is their way of acknowledging that they were probably wrong, without ever saying it.“We'll start with Josh Allen and the Bills. The consensus at Football Outsiders has always been pessimistic about Allen's chances for success. Our QBASE article in 2018 noted Allen's "horrifying" statistics at the University of Wyoming, and we referred to him as "a parody of an NFL quarterback prospect" in Football Outsiders Almanac that same year.”

Gee... I wonder why Bomani hates him 🤔🤔😐

I think we need to see more from Dodson. I was listening to one of the Bills reporters post game. They thought that Dodson’s plays at first glance might look better than it will when watching the game film. The middle of the field was open a lot and you have to put that on the LB’s. I think he shows potential but I need to see more

Remember all of the questions whether they gave up too much? I wonder if anyone wants that 1st round draft pick back?!?!

It struck me watching the Jets game how well Josh moves around the pocket now. There were many plays where the pocket started to get small or shift and in the past couple of seasons Josh would have pulled the ball down and took off with it. Now he simply shifts with the pocket keeping his eyes down field at his receivers. He is also very adept at moving and negating the blitzing DB. There were several plays where a defender came free and came flying into the backfield and at the last moment Josh stepped up or over and the defender went flying right past him.
He has developed a pocket presence and is not playing scared back there, but shifting and moving and keeping a play alive and hitting his wide receivers. Sometimes it is just a little hop step forward or a two or three step shuffle to the left or right. He does it calmly and efficiently while continuing to scan the field. This is a huge development. Some QBs never develop that sort of pocket awareness (Darnold).
I'm expecting a lot more work for the RBs against the Phins, but Josh is going to get his shots. Josh looked great throwing against the Jets, but it was the Jets. If he can be as accurate and efficient throwing the ball against the Phins secondary and stay slippery and poised in the pocket, it will show Josh has taken another big step in his development. You can't be an elite QB in the NFL without high level pocket awareness.
I noticed this too - in the first half especially. He continues to improve as a passer, only concern was late in the game he did some of the same things as last year like leaving the pocket with no pressure etc -

if fumbles were the reason he doesn’t play, Singletary would have been benched long ago and Josh would get zero called run plays
True... the only difference is that the other two have shown they make big plays to offset their turnovers. Yeldon hasn’t. Again, not his fault and he’s only been active for a handful of games. Yeldon is probably hurt by not having a preseason to show what he can do.
It’s not just limited to fumbles either. In his last game against NE he struggled with blocking and his missed block essentially ended the game. He also made somewhat of a poor attempt to win a contested catch that would’ve put the Bills on top. To his credit - he did some good things as a reciever.
IMO I don’t think he has the confidence of the coaching staff, at least not yet. I think they like having him in the bullpen and know that whenever he’s needed they can activate him and have a decent veteran option at RB -

The more posters repeat this, the more true it does not become.
He has 6 career fumbles for a career fumble rate of 1.2%
Josh Allen's has already fumbled 24 times.
Singletary already has 4 fumbles in only 13 games and fumbles twice as often as Yeldon (2.5%).
Maybe, all I know is that he fumbled in the preseason last year and he fumbled against Cincy which almost flipped the game.
I would like to see TJ get another shot
-
IMO the team ready likes TJ as a person and a player. They keep him around because he’s a pro and because they know he can fill in if they needed him to. But it seems like the coaches don’t have any confidence for three reasons:
1. FUMBLES - He’s shown throughout his career and in Buffalo a propensity to fumble. The last time the Bills gave him a chance, he fumbled the ball which killed a scoring drive. I don’t think he played much after that. When Singletary was healthy they relied on using Gore because he never fumbles and was more dependable.
2. BLOCKING - Yeldon is not a good blocker for a RB. The last time he got playing time against NE in 2019, he missed a few blocks including one at the end that sealed the game. Again, no confidence.
3. SPECIAL TEAMS - He will play ST’s and is decent but there are better choices.
These factors and a lack of a major injury have kept Yeldon on the non-active list and likely will going forward. When he’s an opportunities he hasn’t made the most of them.
-
He was always a decent player. I always thought he was a solid #2 but never a #1. He’s proven to be a much better WR in LA that has benefitted from being in a good offense. Still don’t think he’s worth that deal

Will Chan try to get the running game going this week?

THIS
You could say that about the majority of the football analysis here and on social media - but it is what makes sports fun.One thing you can dispute is numbers though. The Bills running back average less than 3 YPC on Sunday. Moss was averaging about 1 YPC. I don’t think that’s on the running backs either. They noticeably seemed to have a hard time opening any holes up front against a good Jets defense. It could be the case NYJ just being good, or a Buffalo line that struggled to run block. We’ll know more after this week

Surely it's far too early for this. The kid came from Oklahoma which is notorious (like other Big 12 schools) for simplified O-line play (2-point stances and wider alignments etc). He was always going to need some development and he's just switched positions again from OT to OG where most thought he projected better.
Obviously some mixed results on the field so far, but it's early and we've seen some growth (his performance against Denver last season comes to mind). All I'm saying is give the kid a chance before putting him on the trade block.
Yea it is too early on Ford overall. I just don’t think he can deal with quick edge rushers as a tackle. I think he has a lot of potential as a guard and I do think he can help the Bills run game. I’m willing to wait a few more games before making a determination on Ford-

Werent they a top 10 rushing offense last year?
Most of their yardage last year came with Devin running off tackle. The majority of their yardage occurred over the first 12 weeks of season. When they needed to grind out some tough yards on the ground, including during the playoff game in Houston, they were not effective. The Bills never eclipsed 100 yards after their big win in Denver in Week 12.
They really seem to be a unit that struggled to establish a running a game.

That’s what I see as well
Unfortunately, I think it starts with Morse. He’s a general at Center and a great pass blocker but I don’t think he’s average at run blocking.
Dawkins in the best overall lineman in both facets and is paid like it.
I think that Cody Ford does have the potential to be a good run-block and overall a good guard but he has a lot to prove.
The rest for the crew - Feliciano, Spain, Winters and Williams, I see as pretty average starters.
Of course, I might be grading a little hard but we should see over the next few weeks

Here’s another attempt to diminish Josh’s performance versus over the past two weeks:
Wonderful explanation...thank you
