    Kelce sounded very confident this week. Makes me nervous. As if they have something planned that we are not expecting.  They seem to be relishing the road challenge in crazy Buffalo.

    Bills need to not get cute.  Just smash these guys like they did to Dallas.  Get super physical.  Don’t try going 5 wide so much 

    He knows how depleted we may be in the linebacker position.

    No you’re absolutely right.

     

    I said that mid season and got ripped on.

     

    But he is a very mediocre drafter.

     

    A couple of descent day 2/3 picks, but overall too many whiffs

    I’m still spinning with Basham over Creed…..

    Wright must have forgotten the THREE INTERCEPTIONS that Mahomes threw in a game against Denver in KC.  The Chiefs were lucky to get off the field with a win that day. 

     

    BTW, a smarter football guy then Wright would be a little more nuanced about the reasons behind Allen's relatively high TO numbers.  Having a problematic O-line and not exactly a lot of weapons other then Diggs forces Allen to press at times - both in throwing the ball downfield and in scrambling behind the line to avoid the rush.  Both of these things will lead to more INT's and fumbles (as the ball is hacked from his hand).

     

    Interestingly if you listen to Cowherd he has often talked about the Bills struggles on the O line and their lack of big time weapons beyond Diggs.

     

    Cowherd also has a pet theory about the issues associated with defensive minded head coaches in the current NFL environment favoring offenses- how their QB's and offenses lag behind the offensive minded head coaches teams.  I think Cowherd may be on to something here. At the same time McD has created a winning and strong culture in Buffalo so the Bills need to stick with him through thick & thin.  I just hope that if Cowherd is right and he may not be, that the Bills can be the exception to the rule here.

     

     

    Yes!

    PM has Andy Reid, you cannot tell me that we have a gap there between Allen & Mahomes.

    Nick Wright killing Josh on the Cowherd show, lol.  Sheesh.  Says he plays like a maniac and his highs are high,,,but his basement is too far down.  Says the Chief and Bengals and maybe even the Eagles aren't in danger of their QB giving away the game and Bills fans should be very concerned about that.

    Nick makes his living off of getting reactions. One of my favorite nicknames I saw someone give him was “dollar store Skip”.  That being said, Colin Cowherd was one of the media trying to compare Josh to Favre, adding that the further Josh gets away from Dabol, the more reckless he gets.

    Allen’s INT% in 2021 @2.3% (with Daboll) 
    His INT% this year @2.5%
    Also, it appeared as though the game plan against the Dolphins Cover 0, was to cut it loose & go long.  We don’t have insider info as to how much Josh goes off script or how much the game plans allow for that.

    If Tua plays, bring a shovel, his career will end on the field. I don't want to see that for him. 

     

    Coming back from multiple bad concussions with signs of brain injury without having physical intensity for a couple weeks, then being thrust into rabid playoff intensity game? He's going to give himself a TBI or worse. 

     

    Keep him off the field for his sake, they aren't going to touch us with our without him in Buffalo in January, gonna be chilly. 😉

     

    He literally could not remember some of the plays in the Packers game that he participated in.

    I find it very alarming that they draft

     

    AJE - he’s healthy scratch much of his rookie year and beyond 

    bills continue to sign and draft DL

     

    Basham  - he’s healthy scratch much of his rookie year and beyond 

    Bills continue to draft DB , sign DL

     

    Elam - he’s health scratch despite rookie benford injured and tre white needing more time to come back 

     

    Bernard - ooof what a bad pick. 

     

    NO wr (aside from shakir who they don’t target) 

     

    and we still have to sign or lure out of retirement players like x rhodes CB (who started over Elam who didn’t even dress). Klein Lb. Beasley and John brown. And then this fringe player DE Kingsley who looked more impactful in his FIRST GAME then ppl above

     

    ALARMING. It’s part bad draft

    selections / falling in love w process guys. Bad coaching decisions / they def play favorites. 

    Painful present day truths.  Also considering Creed Humphrey was there to be had, does not make things much brighter

    I have a theory. It's probably nuts, but here goes...

    By and large, prime time matchups tend to be against strong opponents, and 1pm games seem to be against weaker competition. There are exceptions, obviously, but this is generally true.

    When Josh is going against prime competition, he brings his "A game" more often than not. When he's going against weaker competition, he sometimes plays down to the competition. He sometimes appears not to have the same level of intensity or effectiveness against weaker opponents. He's like a cat, toying with a piece of prey that he knows he could kill at any time. He makes more dumb mistakes and doesn't always have that "eye of the tiger" thing going on. This is what it felt like against the Browns and Bears this season, for instance. 

    Meanwhile, when the primetime lights are on and the stakes are high, more often than not, he's locked in. He's Good Josh. He's "run over you and get up laughing" Josh. He's Inevitable Josh.

    Ok, go ahead and roast me and my dumb theory.

    Yes,

    He at times seems to take more risks against opponents who may not present what appears to be the same challenge as other opponents in game. 
    It seems against stronger opponents, risk time comes when we have to have it.

    My goodness these guys actually get paid for their NFL opinions!  As I look at the standings the Bills have a FOUR GAME LEAD in the division which they locked up Saturday.  FOUR FREAKING GAMES.  That is domination. 

     

     

    Click bate.  They need viewers 

  9. One month ago, a well-placed Bills source told me they weren’t an entry in the Odell Beckham Jr. derby, but the glaring need for another dependable Allen outlet has piqued general manager Brandon Beane’s interest. Davis, McKenzie and Khalil Shakir haven’t emerged as hoped.

    It isn’t sarcasm. And I think it’s somewhat realistic. Our offense has been very ineffective. No consistent drives. We are eeking out wins against bad teams these last few weeks and have also blown some games in spectacular fashion. 
     

    I think we make the playoffs, but if something doesn’t change, we will not win the division 

    Our offense appears to lack conviction & confidence during the course of games.

    I think we will come out of this thing stronger because of all the adversity. My only fear is the defense. We aren’t stopping teams on 3rd down and we seem to be exposed without Hyde. I do however think this season will end up building a lot of character and could be the thing that finally gets us over the hump. Just have to ride out this storm and hit our stride in the playoffs 

    Perhaps Hyde returns in January

    It was the throw.  Just like it was the throw in the other pick and the throw when he missed Diggs in the EZ and others.  His accuracy was off due to his sore arm I suspect.

     

    He made a lot of good throws but a lot more bad ones than usual.

     

    I have not heard anyone mention this and maybe I'm wrong, but it looked to me his throwing motion was even different than usual.

    Plus, I would believe that playing so soon after the injury was in his head.  Totally understandable
