Lost

Them boys gonna be working 24/7 next spring to get it done on time.

Just a billion dollar gimmick and a showcase for modern engineering.

Lamar averaged 27 pass attempts per game last season and he was 6th in passing yardage and 1st in QB rating. What isn't too pretty about that?

Thanks. This is what I was trying to allude to in one of my earlier posts but you stated it more clearly.

Three Bills Drive of course.

I don't think McDermott before 2023 would either. He's really evolved as a head coach and trusts his players more than ever.

Since acquiring Henry Baltimore's O really has had it's way with us if not for the few critical turnovers. Week 4 they blew us out. Divisional round last year, Mark Andrews personally gifted us the win with 2 critical drops and a fumble. This past week it was the critical Henry fumble late in the game that gave us a chance. Yeah, you can make the argument that what makes us the better team is the ability to generate turnovers and it is something the Bills under McDermott have had continued success with, but it's just not something I like hanging my hat on because there is usually a lot of variance and luck involved with turnover differential.

I will only partially agree with this. Teams have been crowding the box more against us but I fall more on the side of it's just them not respecting our boundary receivers at all. Coleman might have changed that this week however.

I'm just happy to still have a forum based community in 2025 over the social media based cesspools of facebook and twixter. This feels more like having discussions with friends and family as opposed to walking into a bus terminal and shouting with a bunch of randoms.

Cook has had 1 game in his career so far where he has taken over the game. How many has Josh Allen had? How many has Derrick Henry had? No team is looking at the Bills on a weekly basis and thinking "we need to stop James Cook before Josh Allen". I think a lot of teams especially the Bills will look at the ravens team and see Derrick Henry as their biggest threat.

I think the difference in the quality of safeties really what exacerbates that feeling that the Baltimore D as a whole is that much better. And Henry on their offense does the Same thing. Cook had as many TDs as Henry last year but teams generally don't gameplan around Cook like they do Henry.

Tremaine having a game. Not bad for a 20yr old.

What about LB?

fair point 😂

He still has great technique and is gonna get a good share of pressures/sacks this year. He looks slow once he gets into the open field and has to chase someone down however.

Wait, was Epenesa on the field? I really don't remember seeing him at all. Or maybe I just memory holed some of those plays.

Calm down Jan, I wasn't bashing the Bills with my post. Just thought it would be an interesting conversation. If anything it emphasizes how important Josh Allen and the culture building under McDermott has been here and their ability to do more with less. Or maybe it's an indictment of the leadership over in Baltimore who seemingly have one of the best rosters in football but still haven't gotten over the hump.

Just imagine if we had managed to land Hamilton or even McDufffie instead of Elam in 2022. That probably woulda been all the difference we needed to get over that hump. Both our biggest competitors landed all pros with their 1st pick in that draft and we got a complete bust.

The Bills are now a team like the Chiefs that have that Championship mentality and can just will themselves to victory in games that sometimes they should have no business winning. Someone had an interesting comment in the gameday thread that I think would be interesting to dive into a little further. The comment was that if the Ravens and Bills combined rosters, there would only be like 2 or 3 Bills starters. Hell, some people would make the case that even Allen wouldn't start over Lamar. So who do you think on the Bills roster would get a spot over their Raven's counterpart on the depth chart? For me it's Josh Allen, Spencer Brown, Ed Oliver. Maybe Benford and maybe Shakir or Coleman over Bateman. That's probably it.

I sure hope so. I hate when we run those sets.

I was glad to see the Bills actually getting a fair amount of pressure last night at times. It wasn't one of the better performances by our LB group. Our safeties got torched, took bad angles and just got flat out abused last night. Even Benford got picked on a few times. In the midst of all that I wasn't really watching how the rookie DB was doing. What are your thoughts on his performance?

Just like in Rocky
