Bob in STL

So you know more about this than the O Line coach, the OC, and the HC?

Tre has 5 years of experience playing high level All Pro football. Benford and Elam have 8 games combined. Seems very early to have a trade Tre White conversation.

Logo of the original Buffalo Bills of the All American Football Conference (predates the AFL Buffalo Bills) is below. You are wrong. They were the Buffalo Bison in 1946 and then switched to Bills and remained Bills up thru 1949. The AAFC dissolved with some teams joining the NFL, but not Buffalo. The AFL Bills were started by Wilson and their first season was 1960. The original AFL logo and Marketing also featured Bill Cody. The logo and poster below is from the AAFC Bills. Proof of the name Bills and the Cody logo from AAFC. Which carried on to early AFL days. And below, 1962 AFL Bills Program and Cody again included. I think he disappeared by the mid 1960’s.

Ok. Now think. The Buffalo Bills, named after Bill Cody, could come up for discussion next.

No. He actually gets some game reps and us doing fine.

It’s people getting upset and using social media as a platform. I agree with Aikman’s point. I don’t care that he said it in the manner he did. Not surprised there are complaints though.

I think I can recall the Bills getting that call.

I actually do know a few that did move back to Buffalo for weather. They simply hate heat and hot weather Buffalo summers are amazingly nice and comfortable.

Is your goal to make this comment in every thread? He was introduced to the NFL in this game. Every cornerback has a few bad games in their career, even Pro Bowlers. If this was one of his then he will be just fine. Listen to his post-game interview and learn about the player. This kid will work very hard, and he has the potential to be a shutdown corner.

Thank Beane that the Bills didn't draft him. Rosen is not a Buffalo guy, or an Arizona guy, or a Miami guy, or a San Fransico guy, or an Atlanta guy, or a Cleveland guy, or a Carolina guy ...

Yup. The Lake can keep the air warmer and as we know, can also drop a ton of fat fluffy snowflakes.

A January game in KC will not be warm. Believe it or not, Buffalo's average temperatures in January are only slightly lower than KC's. Aren't you sick of losing playoff games at Arrowhead? We need the game to be played at home.

While I agree that Edmunds and Poyer are very good players and key pieces of the defense, yesterday was not the game that proves that. They we not missed and resting them was the smart thing to do. Pittsburgh scored 3 points. Zero points in the second half and they played against all backups for the last quarter. It was hard to notice we were missing any starters, let alone 5 on defense.

It's a long season.

Shakir looks versatile and can rotate in and sub for any of the three (McKenzie, Davis, Diggs). Whether Shakir "starts" is not important. He will play and he will get targets. I like the possibility that we can move him around. He will make plays. Not sure we are going to see much of Crowder with his injury. Kumerow will go back to ST mostly.

I am old school in that I love a throwback style MLB but that is not how the Pass oriented NFL works today, especially the Bills defense for that matter. Is Edmunds really a MLB if we play a 2 LB scheme? Does he need to be proto-type 6'5" and 250 to fit what the Bills do? I like the size but does he need it to do what the Bills do? The fact that Edmunds is that mobile and can cover makes him a freaky guy but is he better in our defensive system than Milano? If Bernard is a tweener than so is Milano. Bernad is 6'1", 225, he is a Milano clone in that regard. Milano is 6'0", 223. Dodson is 6'0", 237. If Bernard replaces Edmunds we have two "tweeners" at LB, so we better have some beef at DT to keep these guys clean. LBs, safeties, and corners all have to be quick and all have to tackle to work in our system. Final Comment: I want Edmunds to stay if Beane can figure it out. I think Dodson and Bernard are step down from him, despite how well they played against an ailing Pittsburgh offense.

Dodson is a beast on ST and he now looks to be a very competent back up LB for us. Any talk of him replacing Edmunds is a reach. Which is why Bernard was drafted in R3.

I get that the QB is critical, and Brady gets more protection than anybody, but what are the rules? Can't hit low, can't hit high. Can't land on them with weight. Can't swing them around from the waist.

Bogar should be relieved of his duties. He is bad, I cringe whenever we get him.

Tre after the bye sounds right. Beating KC without him will be fun. Our DL is the key and needs to dominate next week and get to the QB a lot.

Bengals with terrible play calling inside the 2. They have a power back who never touched the ball.

Good point for a thread. He uses size and his moves (reading coverage) to get open and gain separation. His "game speed" is pretty fast.

Good looking draft class. Plus: Benford pushed his way into the lineup. Bernard is learning and got some reps. Baylon Spector too.

Ahh, you see a trend with one data point.
