They key to lineup has been Spencer Brown. When he has been active, he’s allowed the team to upgrade at two different positions - RT and RG. Daryl Williams has played much better inside than he did at. There was a big difference in the offense during the 3 games that Brown has been in the lineup vs. the past 2 games where he was out. The rushing numbers are a bit deceiving as Josh accounted for about 50 yards on the ground The LG position will be interesting. Feliciano should be back for the Thanksgiving game. Do you start him or Ike? Both have their shortcomings and are probably the weakest link in the OL

This was a pretty good profile from Tyler Dunne from last year: https://www.golongtd.com/p/the-buffalo-bills-secret-weapon-isaiah

Were you watching the same game? I thought the line performed well today. There was the one moment when Doyle played a snap and got schooled. And another one where a blitzer ran free and crushed Josh. Aside from that, it looked like the line had a good performance. Jets Defensive Line is actually pretty good. Not a top DL but also not the worst in the league

So he’s fat… that’s your evaluation? I saw him make a few tackles toward the end of the game - including one for a loss

What if the Bills can stop their run game?

I’m kind of worried…on one hand, New England runs the ball and plays ball control offense. If the Bills can stop the run, I think their defense matches up well with stopping a short passing game. The other thing that worries me is Matthew Judon and Belichick’s defense. Judon will need to be accounted for in the game plan. Josh has to play really smart against the defense, which he did the last time the Bills played New England. I think these will be tough games that will decide the division

I don’t get it…why McKittrick?

LOL that would be so sketchy. The difference between this season and last season is that the regulation were much stricter last year. I think that’s part of the reason why there seemed to be less players out

He’s looked good so far both running the ball and catching out of the backfield

@YoloinOhioI told you New England would destroy Cleveland

My bad… you were right he was a close contact but he was still unvaccinated. That’s was my point

I forgot that he could be a close contact… Hopefully that’s the case here

No it actually does make a difference if he contracted COVID. If you are unvaccinated players are automatically out for 10 days whether you test negative or not. If you are vaccinated, you can return after 2 negative tests. Essentially it can be the difference between 1 game vs 2 games

I’m not so sure that Star is the difference between winning and losing in KC

Just my speculation but isn’t Star from Utah? It makes me wonder if he’s Mormon/LDS? I believe their religion is against vaccines - not just COVID but all vaccines. I could be wrong - but when you hear about religious exemptions I think that many times it’s LDS

Correct…. But if he is vaccinated he would be able to return after two negative tests within 24 hours. So it’s possible he returns next week. If he’s unvaccinated he can’t return until the middle on next week

Yes… at least he was unvaccinated as of this summer when he caught COVID the first time. Not sure if he got vaccinated after like other Bills players. Let’s hope…but I doubt it It won’t be easy today but the bigger challenge is going to be defending Indy’s offense with the huge OL & Johnathan Taylor

We don’t know for sure. This summer he was not vaccinated and I remember McDermott being asked about it. If he still is not vaccinated then yeah he won’t be back for 10 days which means he can’t play until Thanksgiving. This is a big loss IMO. Dropping this game and/or Indy can really hurt their chances this season

Man this sucks. Not so much for this week because I think the jets will try to throw the ball, but also because Star had COVID earlier this season and was not vaccinated. That means he’s out for 10 days, and it means he’ll miss the game against Indy which could be a huge loss

Ok then I’ll say Greg wasn’t very high on Allen. I used to hear him on One Bills Live every Friday with John Murphy and he would break down the Bills game from the previous week. Like you said, the thing that Greg always hammered Josh on was mechanics and decision making during his first two seasons. It happened nearly every week. He did say at the time that Josh already turned out to be a better QB than he projected. For Cosell to go from these critics to saying that Allen be one of the top Qb’s in the NFL is quite a jump

By cornerback standards Levi is not a very good athlete so what he’s been able to achieve is incredible. - Walk on - earns a starting job at Alabama - UDFA - earns a starting with Buffalo - Holds onto starting job for 2 seasons while the teams has been trying to replace him I can see Levi getting an offer that too good to pass up, though he does seem to be happy in Buffalo

For $60 a month I will Pee on your TV too

I really hope Pittsburgh loses but I hate seeing players, especially QB’s getting pulled at the last second for COVID. Hoping the Bills get some good luck this year

This seems to be consensus from just about everyone. Hopefully they can implement these changes. Cosell’s comments on Josh are interesting. He was not a fan of Josh as a QB prospect and during his first few seasons

I totally agree. He’s not the same player…at least not on the Rams offense. Still the OBJ signing happened before that injury. The timing of this is so crazy
