You don't get game balls for losses.

I felt something wrong when we settled for 3 at the end of the first half. The offense was not in sync, the only thing reliable was Diggs.

There are a lot of reasons to not like the matchup on paper, then add in it is MNF on the road, it is in NYC (ok Jersey) with the 9/11 ceremony, and Rogers, etc. Given all that the Bills will probably win by 2 TDs. Go Bills! This is just an awful take. Wow.

It might be interesting to see Milano's 13 missed tackles. I bet that some of them are on plays when most LB's would not have been in the play to miss the tackle.

The biggest baloney you read here and in the National Media is that Josh Allen's "prime" and his "window" is closing. Over the history of the league many QB's made it to the SB at a much older age. The new narrative on Josh not working hard enough is garbage and its the exact opposite of the early narrative - he worked harder than his contemporaries because he was so "raw" coming out of college. Remember when they said all stuff about his technique and accuracy and everything else? Too many overblown media opinions, especially related to NFL.

Some concern is merited. 1. The OL might not be better, even with the changes at guard, unless the two tackles can step up. 2. The DL has good potential but only if both Oliver and Rousseau improve and become consistent playmakers. 3. Edmunds is gone and no one stepped up in preseason. 4. Von Miller is an expensive question mark. 5. Our corners are looking mediocre, we need the old Tre back. 6. McD has had issues with game day coaching, now he is running the defense on game day, maybe he always was. 7. Dorsey is not making me forget Daboll on the positive side we have Josh Allen and we gave him a few new weapons. We are still good enough to win the AFCE and get a shot at the big trophy.

Klecko was very good, not great. Same level as Smerlas. Steve Tasker was great in his role, a better all around athlete, and more of a game changer than either Klecko or Smerlas.

I guess you missed the draft and free agency in the off season?

RIP Jim Brown. Running back GOAT.

All this time I thought we lost because our defense could not stop them, our OL could did block, and our coaching staff didn't learn anything from the prior Monday Night Game. Huh.

Yes. Making a 7th rounder even less of a risk.

How is a 7th round and 14th round selection a reach? To me it was calculated risk that paid off big.

Nothing in this “analysis” means much since every player was on a different team, with a different QB, in a different scheme, with a different role, playing a different schedule. I am not saying he will catch 30 or 50 or 70 until we see how they actually use him. I expected more from Knox but his targets are not there. Kincaid will likely not be used as a traditional TE and we could see him as WR3 quite often.

Of course he is a long shot, all 7th rounders are. Anderson was poached off of the PS by the Giants and he played in a few games last year. Tenuta is in the Packers organization, probably a PS guy.

Hope so. They have had good luck with late round DBs.

Really? You might be correct but you are calling these players immediate game changers! Then how did they all fall to the late 3rd. They just drafted 2 corners last year and both are contributing. Corner is something they have had good luck with in later rounds. Brown is the RT. The Bills are still very high on him and sticking with him. They just drafted OL in the 2nd and added a starter. DT is a position of need as is LB . You can’t fill everything with one pick. There is something about this guy they like. They picked him before all those immediate game changers that the 31 other GMs left on the board. . Your sentence in bold is not how McDermott and Beane work. I give them a lot more credit.

You do know we play 2LBs on most downs? Is there really an inside or outside anymore? He backs up Milano and then Bernard moves “inside” to challenge Dodson. This guy is a hustler, a team captain, and a fantastic tackler. Who were all these other players?

Three big targets plus Diggs. Nice. Kincaid will be great in the slot. Red zone. First downs. I like it.

Give me 10 more players that do something about it. Being pissed is a normal reaction. Yelling on the sideline at your QB and storming out afterwards is not leadership. It didn’t help anyone.

Houston? Maybe he can go home and do better.

What a beast he was.

It’s the run game that needs the most improvement though.

RIP Coach.

I guess it depends on what you call glaring. WR, OG, RT, MLB, SS, and RB all need upgrades to the starters. CB, OL, TE, WR and DL all need better depth.
