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. 😂😂

He has yet to be activated and likely won’t be with only 1 day of practice. We are maybe looking at a return against NE I’m sure COVID will do wonders for his “medical condition.” Much less harmful than a vaccine millions that have been safe for millions of Americans

I don’t at all get where Lindsey fits on this roster. The Bills won’t carry him as a 5th RB. Do you get rid of 3rd round picks like Moss or Singletary…no way. He’s not faster than Breida. There’s no way the Bills move Lindsey to the active roster unless they want to stash him on the PS

Can you summarize the rest of the article?

I can agree with that. I don’t hope that they lose by any means. But I also disagree with Star not getting vaccinated especially given last year and would echo the sentiments made by Beane, McDermott and the Pegulas earlier this season

Where is the medical evidence that vaccinations have a negative effect for people with heart conditions? If anything they research would support vaccinations for those with heart issues. If it was too dangerous for him to play with the threat of COVID last year with his condition, why would he decide to play with the threat still being there and not take the best prevention against it? And the Bills have every right to lose because of that…

A heart condition is not a legit reason to not get vaccinated. If anything the effects of COVID such as Myocarditis threatens people with heart issues worse. That is probably the reason why Star sat out last year…makes sense. His decision not to get vaccinated was a personal one. Not a medical one.

I remember he did a season on ESPN’s Sunday Countdown as an in-studio analyst. Probably around 98 or so? I thought he was pretty decent

Not just that… how about the damage that COVID can do to a heart. Probably concerning to a human his size - especially if that was the reason why he sat last year Phillips has been solid though not spectacular throughout the year. The difference is he’ll be going against one of the NFL’s best offensive lines. I’m hoping he has the game of his career

Yeah exactly… it sounds like an excuse. I remember this summer when Star had to miss time as a close contact because he wasn’t vaccinated at the time. McDermott didn’t sound happy and I don’t blame him.

The rumor is that he had a heart condition and couldn’t get the vaccine. I don’t know if I buy it. Either way, some of the decisions by members of the Bills could derail their season

What is the legal situation with Brit?
