Watching all of these games is reminder of how little starters played in the preseason.

How much playing time are all of those guys expected to see. While we all want to see Mitch be a better player than what was shown during his BB time, the rest of the players that the team has allowed to go elsewhere has entered an echo chamber of "maybes". That shows some of the strength that the team has built, and I will not be shown an alternative fact right now.

I still honestly believe that Benford is Poyer's replacement, and all we are watching him for the weeks until Tre is ready to go is his audition. All of the tea leaves to me are pointing in this direction. I realize that Poyer is a captain (along with 8 other teammates), but there is a true dividing line of "core talent" and "other talent". THIS IS THE WAY. THIS IS THE PROCESS.

There were highlights? LOL

Looked much more like PS material today.

O line is just destroying the Donks. Even making Bobby Hart look like a professional.

I'll "wade" into this (not Christian Wade, the international man of practice squad goodness)---- Deion Sanders John Riggins Brian Urhacher Matt Ryan None of them made a play where I said "wow".

Ralph was cheap.....sorry someone had to put it in there.

Power with his first goal! On a feed from Skinner, with Skinner chasing right in and getting the puck for the rookie......

Fitzgerald is not starting level material----constantly too slow and a turnover machine. We can blame Dahlin, but who was he stuck with.... Team also stopped attacking once they got up 3-1 and then paid for it dearly------Canes are a legit top 5 team. Anderson let in a softie also.

He is the best blocking WR I have ever seen at any given stretch. Miss him tons. Does he fit in the Kromer scheme?

The item that gets lost in many of these sort of observations regarding our lack of YAC is that the offense (and could possibly be a reflection of Josh Allen's tool set) has been predicated (in many situations) on Josh making the correct read and then throwing to "a static position" on the field. Unless we're talking about "down the field" or "cross routes", there are many times where the throw windows in the Bills offense just isn't there for YAC. I don't think that this is a reflection of the shortcomings of our WR/TE's but just due to the types of routes being run.

My thoughts on the kick is that Bass was asked to pooch it numerous times during the Tennessee game and executed it flawlessly. I was there, they were trying to take advantage of a perceived weakness in the TN return game. If Bass is a professional, he should be able to execute that play to an acceptable level every single time that it is asked of him. End of story. If executed correctly, it would have put KC in a pressure situation trying to return it "enough" and not burn substantial clock. It was interesting that they did not put Tyreek out on that return, signaling that they were not explicitly trying to get any sort of substantial return.

Honestly, either one I'd be fine with, but I don't think that Beane is staying put at 25. Too close to the summit to not get one player to put us over the top. I know they talk about building for the long-term, but seeing the Bengals with all of their deficits in the SB its gotta be burning the McBeane organization that it could (should) have been us.

More importantly than the run game---how was the pass protection during Kromer's tenure...

..and making sure they mention that Mahomes just needs 13 seconds.......gag........

Collinsworth just popped a stiffy.

whew-----awesome play.

and bobby hart.....

Burrows taking those sacks at big times does remind me of Josh in the early years.

would they have called it an offensive catch under the same circumstances?

cincy just got done raw.

the announcers talking about the ball moving is BS.

omg

and a false start.
