I believe they said Ed was injured in Wednesday’s full pad practice, not Thursday’s walk through.

I’m hoping Hancock ends up being a surprise at Safety for us. I agree we need an upgrade.

Interesting stats from NFL week 1: Top scoring teams: 1. Buffalo 41 2. Baltimore 40 3. Pittsburgh 34 4. Indianapolis 33 5. NY Jets 32 The other 27 teams scored between 6 & 27 points, with an average of 17.8 points per team. The Bills & Jets games were by far the highest scoring games in week one. Defense will be the emphasis for both team’s practices this week.

It penalizes Josh getting us first downs on short yardage runs, by lowering his yards per carry. Also, Josh’s 3 kneeling plays at the end were included. He shows 3 carries for-5 yards for those kneel downs.

This is the ultimate homer video. It’s a video of Derrick Henry runs from a very frustrated Raven’s fan who’s trying to blame one Raven’s offensive lineman for the loss. This diehard Raven fan‘s takes: -They have one o-lineman keeping them from rushing the ball well enough to win big games. (Never mind their rushing attack destroyed us almost the entire game!). -Their defense gave the game away…he never mentioned Josh or any Bills offensive player once. He gave zero credit to Buffalo’s offense. I just saved you 26 minutes, unless you want detailed video of every Bills defender not named Ed Oliver getting shoved around or flattened play after play.

Is working out 9 players a normal thing after a week one game? BTW, 3 Punters, 3 DBs, 3 DLs. They were looking in the right direction.

When Lamar ran over to Hopkins and spoke in his ear before that 3rd down play, I told my son that we better be all over Hopkins because Lamar is throwing it to him….. he immediately did.

It’s much less painful watching the first 3 quarters when you know what’s coming in the fourth quarter!

Strong got burned badly by Flowers in man to man coverage on a misdirection flare pass to the right. After watching the replay a couple times, the reason he did was he peaked in the backfield to be sure Henry wasn’t getting the run to the left. Just a one second peak & that’s all Flowers needed. It ended up being a 36 yard gain for Baltimore. Baltimore’s 2 great running options (Henry & Jackson) set up misdirection plays to Flowers very well. I don’t blame the rookie getting fooled in that situation. That was a great play design.

I’m not predicting all 3 of Palmer, Coleman & Shakir will get to 1000 receiving yards this season. That would be remarkable & record setting. I just think they each have the potential to get there. In other words, I wouldn’t be surprised if any one of those 3 receivers had 1000 yards this season. This would be assuming Josh will get close his last 5 season average of 4200 passing yards.

I know this is so last year, but last night’s game was an example of “everybody eats”. 5 different players had at least 4 receptions, with at least one of each receiver’s reception being over 20 yards. 9 different players caught passes, 4 WRs, 3 TEs & 2 RBs. We don’t have any superstars at WR, but as a complete receiver group (including TEs & RBs), we are pretty good. Coleman, Shakir & Palmer all look capable of getting 1000 receiving yards in a season.

I agree on Rapp. One Henry run displayed an obviously bad angle by Rapp (everyone saw that one). Rapp looked very slow. On another big Henry run, Rapp launched himself shoulder first into Henry as he came through the line. Rapp just bounced off Henry’s thigh/hip and Henry wasn’t even slightly slowed down. Rapp’s best hit may have been on Benford after Hopkins caught the TD pass.

I hope Hancock is not on the inactive list again next week. We need to get him on the field in a regular season game and see how he performs. I’m losing confidence in Rapp & Bishop. The contrast between Baltimore’s safeties and our safeties was embarrassing. It was like comparing Josh Allen & Nathan Peterman.

Glenn has a great RB! When healthy, Breece Hall is one of the best RBs in the league.

I texted my nephew congratulations (he’s a SoCal native and lifelong Chargers fan). His response: It was a win for us all! The world needed this.

I would think instant replay reduced the home field advantage as bad ref calls, influenced by a loud home crowd, are now mostly overturned. However, instant replay started in 1999 & it appears this lack of home field advantage is a more recent phenomena.

Jordan P. & Jordan P. are both players that love the Buffalo Bills and will do everything they can to help us get to the Superbowl. In 2025 that most likely means mentoring the younger players more than taking the field. I think it’s great how excited they are to be back as practice squad players.

I’m with you on Ingram. I’ve always thought he’s stepped up on gameday when we’ve needed him!

Does this mean Hairston is officially out for the first 4 games?

Really no surprises at all, unless Dane Jackson is considered a surprising cut.

Elijah Moore.

The Pegulas didn’t turn around and order a yacht after securing state $. Per the article, the yacht was custom made and then delivered in 2021…..well before the new stadium. This article was written in a way to try and raise anger against the Pegula family.

As some have said, this looks like a hatchet job. Here are a few examples: “Adding to the frustration is the $560 million in cost overruns “. They fail to mention that all cost overruns are on Pegula, not the tax payers. The yacht was custom built and delivered in 2021. He most likely ordered this at least 5 years ago. That was before the new stadium was being built. They also are apparently uninformed on the health situation with Kim Pegula as her name is tossed around with Terry’s as someone we should all be angry with. I know billionaires don’t need defending very often , but I am extremely grateful for all the Pegulas have done for our Buffalo Bills! Also, in case you’ve forgotten, our other 2 bidders were Donald Trump and Toronto Bon Jovi.
