the Ravens defense has been extremely good since they traded for him.

The Brady/Pats teams are a good comparison. You never seemed to think they were unbeatable and it looked a bit clunky at times but when it needed to get done it got done. People seem to forget that even with all the injuries, issues, setbacks this team is still 13-3 and its 3 losses have come from a combined 8(!) points.

It's the Charlie Whitehurst plan. Mostly suck, but play well enough to stick around in the NFL holding a clipboard for 10-12 years. Walk away with little wear and tear on the body and a decent $15-20m in your bank account for your troubles.

Watched that game on TV and I share your feelings.

Interesting fact: the last game Peterman started was in 2018 for Buffalo against the Bears.

Agree, they are getting hot at the right time but the NFL season is a grind. That's a young team and a lot of those players have never had to play postseason games. Playing in the postseason requires another gear.

Bills girl! I met her at a bills game at MetLife in…2019? I think. She’s from the NYC area and super nice.

We’re almost a week out. I think any forecasts are highly subjective atm. Our game against MIA was supposed to be a snowy mess and it was pretty subdued until the last 6 minutes.

This was 100% the right play call to go down, burn the clock and kick a chip shot field goal with a kicker who is practically automatic. You’re not playing the other team you’re playing the clock and playing keep away. A win is a win, doesn’t matter if it’s by 1 or 100. I’ve watched the ***** Pats do this kind of ***** for decades and just grind out gritty wins and I’m glad we’re doing it as well. No one cares about style points. Just win baby.

Reggie Gilliam practicing again is encouraging, his contribution to the run game is understated but important.

That maybe works if your mindset is "get to a good spot and just ride out a good life, being happy and thankful for what you have" Most NFL players aren't wired like that. It's a hyper competitive sport that attracts hyper competitive people. They want to be the best, the guy, number 1. Anything less is failure.

The Jets have had to shuffle the o-line a lot this season so this was a game where the d-line and our front 7 would and did shine. Mike White is pretty good under pressure (at least with the small sample size of the last 2 games) but if you bring a constant wave of blitzes, stunts against a patchy o-line your guys should be getting home and they did. The Dolphin's line is better, so I'm not completely convinced the same strategy will work. Tua gets the ball out fast and processes the field pretty quickly. I'm thinking a rush 3/drop 8 strategy to cover the field and force them to run the ball, with some well timed blitzes and stunts and opportune moments. Their running game takes a serious hit with Wilson Jr being carted off yesterday with a hip injury so forcing them to lean on that and neutralizing their passing game feels like the right strategy. Tua only threw 28 passes yesterday and only completed 10, their running game was putrid as well once Wilson left.

Nah more likely is the DA or prosecutor looked at all the available evidence, determined that it a lot of it was circumstantial, would not stand up to scrutiny in a legal setting and/or would get tossed on technicalities by the defense making the body of the case incredibly flimsy. DAs do NOT like bringing stuff to trial they aren't almost damn sure they are going to win, those people get elected because they deliver and their conviction rate is directly tied to their changes at being re-elected. No DA likes getting roasted for having a crappy conviction rate and seemingly wasting taxpayer dollars.

This. Everyone likes to harp about no income tax, which I'm sure is great if you make a massive salary but most people don't. You then also get nickel and dime'd on just about everything else, end up paying higher sales taxes (which are regressive, not progressive), higher property taxes and typically suffer with crappier government services and public education because those areas are underfunded. Anyway, back to football talk. Squish the fish! Go Bills.

It's also hilariously selective. Just about any player except Allen or Diggs as a bad game - CUT HIS ASS, DRAFT HIS REPLACEMENT! Josh Allen or Diggs has a bad game - Well, it can't be perfect all the time...

That guy has looked downright uncoverable the last two weeks with White throwing him the ball, granted the Bears and Vikings secondaries do leave something to be desired. Dude can play though. He put up good numbers against us as well when Zach Wilson was playing but our secondary was super banged up. I wonder if we play our standard zone scheme or if we mix it up and stick White on Wilson for most of the game to try and make his life miserable.

breeding that kind of instinct and intuition takes time. I don’t disagree with your point, but in Cook’s defense he’s a rookie.

The lions were down two starting guards, as mentioned. He had a great game and was getting tons of pressure up the middle. It was a really great game for him. If we weren’t down groot, miller and epenesa for that game the dline would have feasted all day.

Everyone here 😂 The losses suck, but we’re 7-3 and half our defense is dead or half dead. There’s still plenty of football to play.

It’s almost like when our all pro corner, all pro safeties and one or both of our probowl linebackers don’t play it’s a lot easier to pass the ball on us 🤔 Bills have fielded a second string, sometimes 3rd string secondary for large parts of season this year.

I’m thankful that we’re 6-3, super bowl favorites, and still bitching about the team the same way when we were bottom dwellers hoping to sneak into the playoffs on a technicality. Never change, you bunch of salty bastards 😂

Our running game:

Me watching Hurts pick up that first down:

Ankle fracture and surgery feels like season ending for a slot WR predicated on crisp route running and hard cuts into open spaces. Best case scenario he might be available for the post season and even that feels optimistic.
