Turns out the kid's agent isn't a licensed agent in Nevada or registered with the state. https://www.cbssports.com/college-football/news/matthew-slukas-nil-fallout-with-unlv-raises-questions-about-agents-unregistered-status-in-nevada/ It gets even weirder. Apparently Blueprint Sports, which runs the NIL collective for UNLV and U of Nevada was founded by the current Secretary of State for the state of Nevada.

What no love for the D-Line? Seriously? Even Casey Toohill had a sack. They are the key to this defense. Don't want to expose the young LBs, better successfully pressure the QB. Don't want QB scrambles, the D-line had better containing them. Stop the run game, the D-line better fill the gaps. All this has been happening. The Bills have allowed 1 rushing TD so far. Von and Groot have 3 sacks each and 5 guys have 1 each. Groot has 11 tackles.

I always thought the line was designed (in theory) to get people to bet evenly between the two teams. Baltimore is at home with the 2 time MVP and the media had them as a pre-season SB contender. Had the been 2-1 heading into the game, Balt would likely be a 5 point favorite. I think if you ask a line maker in private who do you think will win, he/she would say Buffalo by at least a TD.

First things first. Nick Wright is still an idiot. Anyone who publishes ever that Trevor Lawrence is better than Josh Allen (which he did a year ago) has zero credibility left. It's on the same level of stupid as Colin Cowherd who called Josh a system QB despite having 3 OCs in his career while saying Burrow and Mahomes aren't system QBs when they have played under the same coaches their entire careers. Now watching all these same idiots jumping on the bandwagon is equally annoying. Beane has done a masterful job turning over the roster to get younger and cheaper, getting out of cap hell (which he created) while actually increasing the team's talent even if that talent is a little raw. The biggest change is Beane was realizing that he couldn't keep putting band-aids on his roster holes. He also starting drafting offensive weapons early in the draft. Not surprisingly, the offense is now centered around those draftee. Way to go Beane, not Josh go keep it going.

Second lesson from law school - get it in writing.

I guess we need a defensive standout next week go 4 for 4. How about Ed Oliver with 2 sacks and 3 other tackles for losses?

Tyrod, then Bledsoe, then Fitz. Tyrod got us to a playoff game (Thanks Andy Dalton). As to bad plays there are 3 that stand out from the AZ game alone - Torrence's Face mask cost us a TD against AZ. Josh's fumble when what should have been an early scoring drive. The AZ kick return for a TD.

In 2023, other than the inexplicable week 1 loss to the Jets, the Bills reeled off 3 straight out-scoring our opponents (LV, @Wash, Mia) 123-33 to start the season 3-1. Our first three wins this year (AZ, @ Mia, Jax) 112-48. Why it's different this time! Joe Brady! Bills are 10-2 since Brady became the OC. The two losses were by 3 points each. In that period we have outscored our opponents 356-219. That's nearly 30 points per game. In his 9 games as OC last year (before he could fully implement his system) we averaged 27 points per game. This year we are averaging 37 points per game and have called off the dogs in the second half of the last 2 games scoring only 20 points total in the 2nd half of those games.

It’s a little early to be calling Joe Brady the goat.

Mahomes is the GOAT. Until Josh wins a Super Bowl, he'll remain behind Mahomes even if Josh earns the MVP this season.

Disrespected again. Put it on the blackboard McD.

These are first years coordinators. They aren’t going anywhere for a few years or until the Bills win a Super Bowl whichever comes first.

The way Lewis, Ingram, Spector and Williams are playing, I don't think they are going to rush any of these guys back. What a nice problem to have when the backups are playing at such a high level you don't have to rush your pro-bowlers back into the lineup.

Also his girlfriend isn't as rich or famous as Travis Kelce's

They should be scared of us as well. The Bills and Vikings are playing the best football early in the year. However, you can't overlook any opponent in the NFL. Denver and Carolina won this past week.

The best thing about this schedule is that the Bills will have to take it one week at a time. They know how good each opponent is and how critical each game is, especially the Jets. I expect them to be very focused against the Ravens. They have won the last 2 against Lamar, but are 5-6 against the Ravens since 1999. No real blowouts in the series except when we were demolished by Balt 47-3 in 2018.

There is no question that the next 3 games are winnable, especially the way the team is playing, but…. It’s hard to win on the road. All three teams can’t afford a loss to the Bills even this early in the season and will give us their best effort. That said. 1) at Balt: Sunday night: Josh took a subtle shot at Lamar by calling him the 2 time MVP during a interview tonight. Josh is going to super focused against the Ravens to show who is the better QB. Ravens are 1-2 and their D has allowed 78 points and are 29th in QB pressure rate. If they can’t get to Josh, the Bills should win. 2) at Houston: This game scares me, but Houston has surprisingly struggled to score with only 55 in 3 games. Collins, Dell and Diggs are great, but Minn showed how to beat them; stop the run and force the young QB to beat you. Hard to do with our pass rush. Stroud has already been sacked 11 times. Mixon has an ankle injury and was out vs Minn. If he is slowed or out, all the better. 3) at the NYJ: Hall, Wilson etc… very scary weapons with a statute at QB. Defense has key injuries especially upfront. Get home on Rodgers should be the key. If the Bills win, they take control if the division.

Skip Bayless is an idiot. No question Josh is playing in control great football. Besides Mahomes no one creates more scoring drives than Josh. That said: Josh was a high event QB with 220 TDs (167 pass, 53 rush) his first 6 seasons, but 122 turnovers (78 ints + 44FL). Net TDs 98 compare to Lamar. 155 TDs (125 pass, 30 rush) his first 6 years, with 78 turnovers (45 ints + 33 FL). Net TDs 77 Mahomes is on another level 231 TDs with only 80 turnovers.

So lets see if I understand this. McBeane believes in accountability and earning PT. Interesting. I wonder why no one ever taught the Sabres these lessons?

Amen Brother! Can I get an Amen?!

The question of this thread is the improvement of the WR room year over year. There is no question that this team doesn't miss Diggs or Davis at all. This is a better group with 5 guys who can all make plays. What a concept. You are also late to the draft and develop party. Beane committed to adding weapons for Josh through the draft 3 off-seasons ago. The Bills top 4 pass catchers are all draftees within the last 3 years in Shakir (14-168-2), Cook (8-97-1), Kincaid (8-85-1) and Coleman (5-75-2).

WRs that the Bills could have drafted. Pick 28 - Worthy - 6 -81 - 1 (5 rushes 39 yards 1 TD) Pick 31 - Pearsall - IR Pick 32 - Legette - 6 - 77 Pick 33 - Coleman - 5 - 75 - 1 (updated) Pick 34 - McConkey - 10 - 109 - 1 Pick 37 - Polk - 5 - 31 -1 (1 rush 0 yards) Pick 52 - Mitchell - 2 - 32 Others: All non-listed WRs either didn't make their teams, on IR or have 0 receptions so far. 3rd rd - Corley (1-4), Burton (1-47), McMillian (3-59-1), McCaffery (6-62) (updated) 4th rd - Franklin (2-11), 6th rd - J. Wilson (1-9), Whittington (5-50) 7th rd - Vele (8-39)

No, Keon was a 2nd round pick. The best thing about these Bills is PT is earned not demanded by prima donna wideouts. This receiver group is far superior to last year. These receivers actually catch the football and don’t sulk when they aren’t the focus of the offense. I think you’d be wise to see how things develop over the season, but this group is quietly dominating. Shakir is on pace for about 80 catches for 1000 yards and 11 TDs.
