I've said it for the last two years, if I see a star QB running and it's early in the game, I'm taking their head off. What stops Lamar/Mahomes from dancing is a solid smack up high.

The Ravens took advantage of our depleted LB core in week 4. Misdirection and getting Hill and Henry to the second level. Spector and Morrow were chasing all game, they didnt have the maturity or skill to stop the running attack. Benford and Milano can do that. Especially with the additional weight Milano looks to have put on, him one on one with Henry at the hole is a good thing for us IMO - Milano knows how to tackle low.

I'd suggest Hamler or even Shakir - Lamar's lateral movement is incredibly solid, and Shakir has that same lateral agility and if the team can get used to getting Shakir on the ground (with his strong base), they can definitely get Lamar on the ground.

Yea, I find it VERY hard to believe that only 6% of Burrow's passes went to the "designated receiver". If that's the case, the OC should be fired on the spot for not creating better play design to get the ball to the designated player. This is likely looking at where the QBs eyes went for the play, but I know lots of teams use misdirection to bait players out of their zone coverage bubbles. Detroit does this often. I call BS on the metric honestly.

To be fair, he also has made $100M+ with this play all season. Someone will pay him, his overall statline is too good this year to simply ignore. I'm not a huge fan of his play, but I think he has shown the ability for a desperate team to offer him a 3-5 year deal

Thought Bo Nix was OK - He didn't throw in rhythm, and after his first drive (60 yards and the TD) he proceeded to go 11 for 20 for 80 yards. The Bills took away anything deep, and Nix wasn't incredibly accurate on the run. He is quick, he had those 4-5 nice runs when we played shell at the end of the first half. I'm not as high on him as others, I think he is close to his ceiling as a decent low end starter in the league. We will see. Regarding the Bills - the biggest takeaway was how well the LB core played. Bernard and Milano made plays all game, and if they play that well against the Ravens we have a good shot at winning the game. Milano was GREAT as a spy on Nix, and Benford attacked lanes incredibly well.

It’s @GunnerBill! Top hat and all

What charity should Ethan send the funds too? Want to make sure he has the info lol @Ethan in Cleveland check/ach/wire?

He should be. They are an attractive spot and Ben Johnson is sitting there. Zac continues to not have his team ready to start the year, and then they fight back to either a wild card spot or missing the playoffs. With Burrow as your coach there is no excuse

He wanted to end his Netflix season on a high note… ”I know that I have the talent to be a Super Bowl winner” faded in his 500th TD with some announcer dub “Aaron Rodgers showing you CAN beat Father Time!” credits roll im already starting to puke

Denver doesn’t run the ball well, they don’t have a 500 yard rusher this year Nix is a polished rookie, but their offensive talent is not too high dont do well against good teams, they beat up on bad teams defensively, they are turnover generators. With that said, Surtain is their best best player. Our offense is designed to work against all players on the defensive side of the ball. I don’t think we have issues putting up 30 points on them. rookie QB on the road against a Bills team that is healthy and has the MVP? Bills 34-17

I’d think Vrabel would be the replacement

Exactly. if McD (who has an incredible resume against rookie QBs, and the Bills are undefeated at home..) lose to the Broncos, we will have a new HC next season.

Vrabel doesn't seem like the guy who can win a championship, but he does seem like a guy who can make a 5-12/6-11 talent team work hard against every team they play. I dont want a coach like him playing against the Bills twice a year.

Was there gloating? 95% were in fact wrong with their prediction

Bills after two weeks of the offense carrying the team gets multiple turnovers and points scored by the D, including shutting the Pats down to only 7 points in the second half - putting up 7 points of their own in the process. At the end of the day, we played a division opponent with nothing to lose who ate time of possession in the first half. We came out with a win and that's what matters in these types of games. Allen played a little emotional this game, I saw him bail the pocket a few times when he didnt have to. I'll be interested to see how he does against the Jets.

The clip of them talking a month later after the 47-17 game is also funny. The one guy saying "they aren't a good team" cracks me up.

This was probably 20 years ago and for him a cup was mandatory. With that said, the NFL is a weird place of alphas who I guess dont like protection (as evidenced by Tyreek Hill and his particular disdain for any type of protection lol)

My brother had a play at the goal line in HS where a small pileup happened. As the ball carrier, he proceeded to be punched in the man zone repeatedly for about 10 seconds. Protected zone or not, he said it was not a fun time down there.... and that was in the 2nd quarter! Couldn't imagine a fight for an onside kick.

You could remove the 30+ points and I’ll still be happy lol

When he downed Martins punt at the 3 and then screamed at the gunner who was supposed to block him “yea B****!”… makes me a fan. Guy just always bring energy. Good counter to guys like Cooper and Cook who are a little more reserved

I agree, I wonder if the owner is too cheap to let him go this year.... one can hope

Zac Taylor is gone at the end of the year. Two straight years of no playoffs, defense is abysmal, Burrow is locked down but Chase and Higgins need deals, bad o-line. He is everything certain Bills fans think McD is - a bad coach who limits the success of very talented players on his team.

The only time you rest is if week 18 means NOTHING to the standings. Even then, you consider a first half with the starters and then bring the backups in.

I’m gonna bet $20 Benford gets less than two targets his way. Lots of other opportunity around the field
