I was actually hoping it would be Goodbye.

Yes, but those of us that do can certainly appreciate it. Good one. KM will certainly be missed at TBN. She was a breath of fresh air, and I look forward to reading her work in the Post.

If anyone has watched Dareus play this year at all, they should not have to ask this question.

No, it really was not the main reason they lost. Failing to convert turnovers to points is why they lost. Who would you have suggested cover Green given the CBs on the field yesterday? White was the best they had on the field, by a mile. He did a very credible job. He was not covering Green on the Q4 long pass I believe.

Unfortunately the NFL allows those hits - not against the rules. They were several similar tackles yesterday, some by the Bills. Each time I am amazed the player taking that hit is not injured. It is time the NFL did away with targeting of the knees by DBs.

Bills 23 Bungles 20 The pass rush will do enough to force some mistakes by Dalton when they get behind. The short passing game is going nowhere with strong tackling by the bills in the short zones. Nail biter, but a win.

He started great, and then- EJ

A surprisingly cogent article from Rodak. Gilmore' performance this year should surprise no one as he displayed a me first, all about the money attitude when here, and is the anthesis of a leader. The Bills were absolutely right to walk away from making him one of the most highly paid CBs in the league. Not the kind of player you want to put near the top of your salary scale, as the Bills are finding out with Dareus now.

The criticism coming out of TBN has been over the top for some time, by any measure. The relationship between the Pegula's, their teams, and TBN has been bad, and it goes back to their original purchase of the Sabres and Terry's attempt to reign in their negativity with a face to face meeting. It was not taken well and it spiraled down from there. Their reporters were quite literally frozen out by the previous Bills regime - no access. Not really better for the Sabres. There definitely seems to be a thaw lately. Perhaps partially related to the new management with both teams, partially due to new management at TBN. The end result is we are seeing balanced reporting, reporters actually gaining access to team sources and players, and better overall product from TBN as a result. I hope it continues.

Agreed. I am strangely confident. We will see what they are made of today. Go Bills

Is it just me or is there no reason at all to care what Rodak thinks about anything?

Agreed it's going to come. He is definitely adding value right now. It seems to me that McD tends to sub for him in obvious passing situations. This could be just part of natural rotation, but it seems to me he has more confidence in Yarborough and Lorax as edge rushers right now. I think Lawson will continue to improve though.

That would have been a good arguement to resign him before his contract expired, which they did. As many people seem to forget, with Dareus coming off an absolutely dominating year, they signed him to a market value contract to retain him. Bills fans rejoiced. Unfortunately, he has been terrible since. He clearly has motivation issues, he is out of shape,and playing like a replacement level player at best. At his current level of play, they will do just as well with the JAGs they have been rotating in. Moving on from him at this current level will not cause the team to miss a beat. He is hardly any longer a "star player". I seriously doubt he has it in him to regain his once premier level of play, regardless of where he ends up.

That's your right. See how that works?

Very questionable call on Ritchie.

Finally, a break

Refs 10, bills 7

Though it was tipped. Need to see it again

That was amoung the worst PI calls I have ever seen. Gave Denver 3 points. BS

Not really surprising I guess, but still a sign that Rivera is over thinking this. I am happy to have him focus on crap like this rather than actual important aspects of preparing for the Bills.

Post if the day.

Nice analysis by the OP. Appreciate the work. One minor point: on the last item listed, I believe TT deliberately threw that at Mills feet. The play was not there. Good decision actually.

Mabin was inactive this week. Probably looking for a practice squad guy. Could be mabin Mabin was inactive this week. Probably looking for a practice squad guy. Could be Mabin. Sorry for the Jimmy two times post. IPhone challenged

I agree that the rush will be key, but I thought they were much better than they are getting credit for. The vast majority of Hoyers passes were quick drops and short yardage. When he did drop back fully and looked a bit deeper the rush was getting the job done. That said, obviously Cam will be much harder to contain.

Mike Tolbert would have scored those touchdowns. What was his YPC for the game? Hardly the stuff of legend.
