I feel kind of bad because he seems like a nice guy but I haven’t really cared for his work. Maybe part of it is the position he’s in and his misleading job title of “Bills Insider.” He also never established any kind of personality for himself in the way that a Sal Capaccio has. I used to get frustrated back in the day when the Bills had some terrible football teams and Brown was reluctant to ever admit it and pretended that they were a competent NFL franchise. He wouldn’t acknowledge how awful their offense looked under Dick Jauron and reported as if Chan Gailey would be the Bills HC at a time when it was reported that Buddy was deciding his fate. Also while reporters like Sa Maiorana, Tim Graham and Jerry Sullivan would ask tough questions, Brown would lob up softballs. Since then I think he’s gotten better at reporting. But I’ve always viewed him as a “yes man” who won’t say anything that’s not positive

Not just concussions but injuries in general. He’s a smaller player who throws his body around the field. Injuries have always been a concern

He’s had a very good year and offensive line play seems to be in decline, so he’d still probably get paid with an average performance vs Watts. But yeah his work last night will earn him a few more millions

I don’t think so. Jaquan Johnson was declared out early last week and he’s a special teamer. Pitts is good on special teams. Seems to make sense to me

Smith is going to help against TJ Watt. He’s a better blocker than Kroft and chances are the Bills run more 3 and 4 WR’s than they do with 2 TE’s

Is it just me or did Miami get just about every single break today? Between the tipped INT’s, penalties and Miami WR’s making circus catches, it seemed like everything went their way and they still struggled. Still they played KC tough. Not so sure I want to face Miami in the first round There was many a 5% chance of that happening any way. Miami loss improved our chances are winning the division. We need a win tonight

I think there were 4 scenarios that need to play out. Raves loss, Miami loss, Indy win and a Patriot loss. 1 of 4 down. Still need a lot of help to clich on Sunday

I would agree. A win in prime time would be nice, but unless a number of things go right we probably won’t clinch the playoffs or the division

At 6-7 they are very much “in the hunt” in December. If that’s not drought-era Bills I don’t know what is!

Good coach but one who’s been greatly helped by joining a team of with Ben Roetisberger at QB and that has a stellar track record of developing and drafting players

The Bills dropped a game to KC and people wanted McDermott fired!

We will need him on Sunday to help vs TJ Watt and in the run game.

He’s a candidate for sure but I think a lot will depend what happens over the next 4 games and in the playoffs. If the Bills go 13-3 and make it to the AFC Championship game only to lose to KC, then I think it happens. If they go 10-6 and lose in the first round, probably not

When you think “he can’t be worse than ________” think again! Worley was a street FA for a reason

It’s a possibility but way too early to tell. A lot depends on the cap, how Brown performs when he returns from injury,how Davis performs at WR 2, and where the Bills end up this postseason

Turner also said he was a bit concerned about Allen facing the Pittsburgh - specifically how their disguised coverages and the ability for the Bills can handle TJ Watt. He cited the game plan versus San Diego and Bosa to be run heavy and not as conservative. I think we call hope that isn’t the case. The thing that gives me optimism is how well Josh handled the adjustments from Robert Saleh - regarded as one of the most cerebral defensive coordinators in the NFL. Of course SF doesn’t have all pro players like Watt or Fitzpatrick on defense

Wickersham almost always picks against the Bills. Not going to lie though, this makes me really nervous. I think everyone picked the Bills over Tennessee and we know what happened. Different circumstance but still This is spot on, though there are a few people like Matt Bowen who do know football

It seems like Bills games always do well

I’m kind of torn on Miami as a playoff opponent. Their defense is tough and forces turnovers (especially INT’s) which kind of gives me concern for Josh. On the other hand, I do like the matchup with McDermott’s defense versus Tua. I think Miami will go 2-2 with losesto KC/NE and wins against LV and BUF (resting starters) down the stretch and probably get a playoff spot. The concern I have is playing a team 3 times in one year. It’s very hard to beat a team in the NFL three times in a row. It has happened before but the level of talent between playoff teams is usually pretty even.

Good luck Tyree....loved watching him play at UB

It was PFF I believe

Josh is also really practicing a hard count. Not just in obvious situations either

I read that thread. Someone brought up the fact that among throws with a clean pocket Josh Allen ranks 6th from last among starting QB’s. Cian claims it’s because Josh runs from clean pockets. LOL it’s a huge stretch and he’s getting killed for it

That could be a mistake. When you try to the run with an average attack it takes the ball away from one of the best receiving groups in the NFL

STILL undefeated
