No he cannot. He is not an outside corner

I would tend to agree with this. The perception of fans trying to figure out the mentality of NFL players is often pure projection. To be successful in the NFL - or the be an NFL player period - you need to have the utmost confidence in yourself. That doesn’t mean things always work out, but I wouldn’t be too shocked to hear that players are taking this news worse that the locker room

Probably not… it’s sucks but that’s why winning SB’s is so hard. Outside of talent, You need a lot of luck

Hopefully he does not pick up a car full ho’s on his way to Eastside Motel

Loser mentality

That Viscous Sid guy always guesses and pretends to be an insider

I like McKenzie but Bills fans who were crying about him being de-activated are being overly dramatic. It’s funny how people pretended it was a “scapegoat” decision by McDermott. It wasn’t - they elected to play the better returner. I don’t know why but McKenzie hasn’t been very involved on offense this season. I think his route running was much better last season and was expecting him to be a bigger role on offense. But given that McKenzie has had issues in 2 of the last 3 games as well as issues early in his career, I get it.

Yeah… I would not say that he transforms the offense but he does give the team an element of speed and quickness that they have been lacking. Breida also seemed to do a better job of picking yards in space. The Bills offensive line is still frightening at times though. I think they should work Stevenson in for a few snaps as well for the same reason.

Not gonna happen.

Can’t believe how many fans are there

Aaron has really taken a hit this season for several reasons

I don’t think there’s any set time for a return. I believe players usually test negative somewhere around 10 days. But like others have brought up some to the effects of COVID can linger and we don’t know whether he was able to train on his own. So conditioning could be an issue

I think Craig hits the nall on the head. The Bills game plan is very reliant on Josh and when he’s not on the talent on the OL isn’t good enough to life him. We saw this multiple times this season in losses. The team needs to figure it out or they’ll miss the playoffs

It will be really tough but I hope he makes it

Carson didn’t say anything out of the ordinary. It sounds like he doesn’t follow the team as closely as we do. He was correct in just about everything he said - but he did lack a little context. I don’t think the issue was as much with tackling as it was with the lack of fits on the DL. When an OL can easily push the front seven around to the point where the secondary has to make tackles at the second or third levels it’s never good. Especially against a back like Taylor. As far as Josh, yes there have been some bad decisions. But these have been brought on by the situation he’s in - namely an offensive line who struggled to protect, the lack of a running game, and a multiple score deficit on Sunday. Josh definitely needs to learn to play from behind but given the situations above, it can be ridiculously challenging.

It was 100% that. The defensive line was absolutely manhandled.

I think the answer is much more simple. Defensive line is not good. Offensive line is not good. Everything else is a domino

Fine with me. I like the 1 PM games

Drough era coaching…right. Because Duck Jauron and Chan Gailey reached the AFC championship game when they were here

There is a very decent chance of this… but then what becomes of McKenzie?

It’s a copycat league…. teams emulate trends that work but eventually the rest of the league catches up to them. I still think there’s a ceiling to how far these types of teams can go but…we’ll see

I don’t think the issue is as much on Josh as it is around his supporting cast. What were the commonalities in 3 out of 4 Bills losses offensively? - Bills offensive line was absolutely overwhelmed - Bills had no threat of a running game. - Josh unraveled when things were going poorly. I think #3 is a factor of the other two. In 2 of the 4 games the Bills defensive line was just manhandled and they couldn’t get the opposing offense off the field. The issues is physicality on offense and defense.

John Murphy?

One thing McDermott rarely does is throw players under the bus. He will say things like “we need more from ____” but he won’t say anything to really single anyone out in a negative way.

Ex Pat Friend: The Bills have a cancer on the team” You: Who is it? Ex Pat Friend: I don’t know enough about the team. But trust me, there’s a cancer. 😂😂
