The offense is still one of the best in the NFL as evidenced by its 6th in scoring ranking, but it does appear to be slipping in production as the season progresses. There is a lack of big play talent after Allen and Diggs. I think the OL is a very mediocre group and the source of many problems. A stronger line would improve the running game and give Allen more time to find a receiver. Much of the Bill's success on offense comes from Allen improvising and making plays. The WR group is average, mostly because Davis has not progressed as a #2, and there is no effective replacement for Beasley in the slot. Knox seems to be an afterthought most games. The backup TEs are not good, and we get little production from the running backs with the exception of Motor (some games). How much of this regression is related to the Rookie OC Dorsey and his planning? I don't know but certainly some. Still, this offense is very good and with Allen at the helm it can be great on any given week. Right now, I would say that the defense is the stronger unit and has more depth to deal with injuries.

Why would anyone listen to him or care what he has to say?

It's called high expectations. Those three terrible losses were by a combines 8 points. This team is really good and has not peaked yet.

Agree. Our offense is not that effective in weather.

I will always take the Dub. Offense - Allen made the plays that were needed. Good game by Knox. Would like to see more Diggs and Davis. Would really like to see this team run better. It will be needed for home games. Gotta do better closing out games by getting first downs. Jets DL was tough to handle. ST - Bass made some big kicks in the rain. Punt block was disappointing. Defense - another fine job overall. Milano was huge again. Lots of people complaining about 3rd and long but the bottom line is they gave up only 10 points and got a few big turnovers too.

Exactly. No heat and no hot water either.

You won't be a fan of his, but you will agree to sign hm to help us win.?? That says a lot about you.

Edmunds is one of the guys that other teams coaches talk about when the talk about our defense being tough to play against. Fans that complain about splash plays must not watch the game in detail. Who else that big can cover as much field as Edmunds? If he becomes a FA, it will be a mistake. Pay the man. Find a way Beaner. Edit: after looking at some of the salary numbers the most likely way that we keep him is if he stays at a discount to the market. Will he stay to win championships with Buffalo? It may not matter if we want to sign him but simply cannot.

Look back at the NE game, at the pass he missed in the end zone at the end of the game - he was led a bit too far, so I am not going to critique that. What is noteworthy is that the announcer said it was the same route that Diggs ran and scored on, he said something like "same route as Diggs, only not run as well". He does a good job on long routes in getting in good position and using his size. Davis needs a lot more work getting open on short and medium routes. He will get more targets and be more useful if he can take that step.

Hell of damn good football player.

Experiment? Over the trade? What were you expecting? The next Thurman Thomas? He is a role player, and his role right now is KR/PR/spot RB.

I am hoping the 49er's and Bengals can come up big. It will be fun to watch and not stress about the Bills, they are getting well-earned rest. Whatever happens we have to win our games, one at a time.

Yeah, it a shame he is who he is.

I don't get these comments. He has carved out a role as the extra lineman in running situations and gets important reps with the offense - and when called upon he has done well. Not one guy in that locker room, coach or player, would argue that. Hart is not a starter we all get that. But he is vet that can fill most OL positions and has contributed this year. Look past the obvious.

I think the doom and gloom comes from all the illnesses, injuries, missed practices, and from playing 3 games in 12 days. Here is to beat the Pats* and then 9 days between the next game - heal and prep for the big run.

It is going to take a team effort for this one. Offense - Diggs, Knox, Motor Defense - Milano, Tre, Oliver

He came to a church fundraiser breakfast back in the mid 60's and he ate with us, sat at the big boy table, and then spoke to the crowd about his career and the role of sports in his life. My Dad said he did it for free. Quite a gentleman. Different times. Joe O'Donnell, another Bills offensive lineman, did it too. RIP Al.

Would like to see some 2 TE's sets. Let Morris help pass block and Knox play the slot.

Ok Johnny from Worchester, MA.

I don't hear an anti-Bills bias from Romo. He was making excuses for Allen's play due to the elbow injury. Until then I was still believing the elbow was not a major factor. I still think Allen's performance drop is a combination of things (his own mental mistakes, his supporting cast, play-calling), and not just the elbow.

This game is very big for division tiebreakers. We have to beat the Pats* twice to have a winning record in our division. That is an important tiebreaker that we want to get.

Yes, he would have value on the Bills roster, especially if Von has to sit out. But he didn't get shipped out of Buffalo just when they "got good". He played in the AFC Championship game two years ago and he was part of the 13 second debacle last year. He played on 4 playoff teams. He had a good run with the Bills and would probably want to retire a Bill.

Still no. The Bills have been winning for several years dude. Jerry played in the playoffs in 2017, 2019, 2020, and 2021. Nine years and 4 winning season with playoffs. Keep making crap up though.

He looked great playing against 3's and 4's in preseason. This is a lot different. The NFL in November/December is 4 levels of play higher than that. He needs some time to develop his game.

Eh, no. He was here up to and including last season. He was part of all the recent playoff teams.
