Small college background (Florida Atlantic). A UDFA in 2019 didn't make the team that signed him (KC). He's bounced around a bit since then, most recently with Cleveland. He's played in a handful of regular season games over the last three seasons. He has nice size (6'1" or 6'2" depending on the source of the data and right around 200 lbs. I couldn't find any other measurables like 40 time.

Hmmm, him, Dorsey or weapons? Yes, though you might also include better protection from his offensive line. Is there one of those four factors that is more important that the others? If there is, it is probably Allen's newly developed willingness to look for a short passing option. It's not the first time that lip service has been given to reading the defense from short to long rather than long to short, It happened under Daboll too, but Allen seems to have fully embraced it now.

Just spitballing it...I would have thought they'd go over Sunday night or first thing Monday morning. More time to adjust for tme difference. Maybe they had no place to set up shop and practice Tues-Sat?
They could have started adjusting their times to wake up or go to bed on Monday. They don't need to be in England to do that.

I'll be in church. Sunday School starting at 9:15, then the service until 11:30. I might catch some of the 4th quarter (on the radio).

I have no problem with recognizing a good player and good person on a hated team. I agree though that Hill is one of the NFL's low life.

I admit that I might watch an illegal stream if I could, but that does not mean if the option is denied to me, I will automatically shell out the bucks to watch over priced outlets and line NFL pockets. Radio still works. So it does not follow that if the sports industry can cut off the 28 billion dollar streaming industry they will get 28 billion more in revenue.

The Jags got there Friday. Since it is 5 hours of difference I guess they won't be fully recovered till tomorrow, if your rule is correct.
The Bills don't fly to London until later in the week. I think they want to have as normal of a practice week as possible.
Teams either try to get to London as early as possible or as late as possible, it seems. I don't think there is consensus on which approach is better.
What Buffalo can do is keep a schedule that is close to what they would do at home, continue to live as if they are in the Easter Time Zone or change by just a couple hours. Start early in the week by suggesting team members get up and go to bed a couple hours earlier. Then when they go to London, they can just shift a couple more hours and they'll be pretty well adjusted by game time.

I just hope when Buffalo plays Cincinnati a little later in the season they are this year's version of the team so far and not last year's playoff version. Buffalo is clearly a better team now than the team that played Cincinnati in the playoffs though.

How many days does it take to completely acclimate? Maybe the Jags don't have a great week of practice as their team deals with jetlag for a few days? Not sure.
The Jags played in London yesterday. I'm sure they were there several days before that. They will just stay in London. The rule of thumb for jet lag is one day recovery time for every hour of change. Jet lag will not be an issue for the Jags at all. If Buffalo heads over today they should be pretty well recovered from Jet lag for the game. Buffalo is technically the home team versus the Jags, but the Jags are far more familiar with playing in London than is Buffalo, albeit at a different stadium. Basically, it's the leagues way of taking Buffalo's extra home game this season and turning it into an away game

Buffalo could be 10-1 when they face Philadelphia. Not even Philadelphia or KC look unbeatable. Still, they have to execute every week.

I don't know. The Bills punted the ball twice against the Dolphins. If they want me to take them seriously, they've got to cut down on that stat.

It's not a surprise to find Miami fans believing their team is one of the best in the league and better than the Bills. IMO there is no real point in trying to argue the matter. Just play the game. That will make the issue much clearer.

It pays to check your bank account from time to time. If you don't want to do it yourself, and you make enough money, hire an accountant to manage things for you.

Rapp better be dialled in. At least he is a more natural replacement for Poyer.
I do think it is a chance to bring Elam up. Have Lewis as your backup safety.
The one drawback with Rapp is his slower than average speed. Given Miami's overall speed on offense, Rapp would have a very small margin for error. If he makes even a little mistake, the receiver is probably making a big play.

I saw the title and wonder what on earth Klein had done to deserve props.

Bass combines a big leg with great consistency. Best in the league? I have no idea. I'm just happy we have him in Buffalo.

Whats crazy is they could have picked about 3 Bills players. That was an impressive performance
Yeah, there was outstanding play all over the Bills' defenses. Turnovers always impress the people who do the picking though. An interception and a fumble recovery along with the sacks was bound to get him noticed

All of the "Captain Obvious" statements apply in this game especially with the way Miami can score.
1. Need to capitalize when the Bills get in the redzone with 7. 3 won't cut it this week.
2. Win the turnover battle.
3. Win on special teams. No short drives for the fins.
4. Balanced on offense with the pass and run.
5. Get pressure on Tua.
6. Do a good job stopping the run and force them into 3rd and long.
Just to name a few.
Some weeks you can get away without playing your best. This is not one of those weeks.
What you said, plus CBs can't line up 10 yards deep. They need to disrupt receiver routes early.
Defense must maintain discipline at all times to limit big plays.
Keep penalties to a minimum, especially pre-snap penalties.
Buffalo's receivers all need to be sure handed.
The Miami game is not the game to try and figure out how to help Deonte Harty be effective. What they've been doing hasn't worked.

For whatever reason, the league doesn't want a lot of kickoff returns. They won't do anything that is likely to increase the number of returns.

Gotta knock those Dolphins off their pedestal next weekend.

A better line
I agree. This is the first year in several seasons that the Bills have what I would describe as an above average offensive line. For years Buffalo running backs never had holes to hit in the middle of the line. They coupled that with running backs who didn't have the speed to get outside. I haven't watched, but I'm guessing that most of Moss's recent yardage has been the tackles. He is tough but lacks speed and like Singletary needs holes inside to run through.

I believe the Dolphins game plan will be to negate our DL by throwing passes within a second or two of snapping the ball.
We need to tackle well.That is Tua's MO anyway. Buffalo will need to be able to disrupt receivers' route running early and maintain fairly tight coverage if they can.

I agree that McDermott is good, better than Frazier. I think also that he is benefiting from the maturation the young players on the defensive line and the pleasant surprise that Bernard has been.
