    Ummm no.  I do think though if Edmunds could take any part of Kleins skill it would be the run fits.  Other than that not on same planet athletic wise.  

    Edmunds plays with his skill set -not his brain!

    If this was a Klein versus Dodson thread I’d be right there with you. History has already shown Milano and Edmunds are head and shoulders above Klein, though. 

    I think Millano feels more comfortable with Klein.  he can stick runners and doesn't bounce all over the field.

    Criticism of McD and coaching has reached insanity level…

    I know, I know, it’s a message board and not everyone has to agree about everything.  Debate and discussion are good.  It just seems to me that the coaching of this team is being questioned at an insane level.  The Bills are 8-3 and within 11 points of being undefeated.  Every starter on defense has missed time; they have not played ONE game with their presumed starting secondary intact.  Allen has a bum elbow.  They got a total of TWO full practices in over the past two weeks and yet won two games in five days.

     

    They beat the Rams on the road (before we knew the Rams would stink).  They crushed the Titans.  They won at Baltimore in a gritty way.  They won at KC.

     

    What the hell do people think McD should have been doing that he has not?  I still hear “well, he’s not a good gameday coach.”  Really?  He is ranked as one of the best 4th down decision makers in the league.  His time management has been stellar, saving timeouts for use at the ends of halves where the Bills have been excellent.

     

    Should he be calling plays?  Is it Dorsey everyone is really upset about?  Well, Dorse is also learning on the job, and maybe I’m naive but I think it has been hard to gameplan the past two weeks with only two practices.  And yet, the offense is still putting up yards and points at very high levels.  The last couple of weeks the running game has showed up as well.

     

    Summing up — I don’t get it.  At all.  And as far as I know, not one of you is in the locker room or on the practice field with this team.  My conclusion is that there are a lot of keyboard warriors with way too much time on their hands who expect 14-point wins weekly.  I would love to hear, specifically, what decisions some believe McD has made or not made that are responsible for the “predicament” we find ourselves in (tied for 1st).

     

    I’m going to continue to enjoy this ride, knowing my team is one of the best in the league and still has every opportunity to bring home the ultimate prize.  I’m thrilled McD is our HC and Beane is our GM.

     

    Go Bills!  17 and 3, BABY!!!!

     

    agree 100%  Good, solid coaching over a long, long season.

    THE ROCKPILE REVIEW - Back to Back in Detroit

    Well, if you want to play, you have to perform.  His nice runs this season have been runs that anyone could make, and his pass receiving has been practically non-existent.  He plays one of the few positions where it's possible for rookies to step in and have impact.    He hasn't.  I may have said it before, but he reminds of CJ Spiller - he runs in more or less a straight line, and when he's hit he goes down.  

     

    He hasn't shown any special skill with the ball, either between the tackles, running outside, or in the open field.  I don't see what good another year's experience will do, but we will get a chance to see.   

    great observations.  I would only hope Cook becomes a Spiller in terms of production.

    Is the 17-game schedule diminishing NFL play

    I do not like the 17-game schedule and the 1 team conference bye, and I will not change my mind on it.

     

    We are headed for an 18-game season with 8 playoff teams, and I will not like that even more.

     

    very true.  Too many 'average' teams in the play-oofs just because they made it through the regular season grind.

    yeah I largely just watch the commercial free replays on NFL+.   much better use of time.   you really get a feel for how the game went as well.   Live football on TV is painful to sit through

    I agree - - painful is a good word rather than boring!

    I’ve found the quality of games to be poor all season.  Since the new CBA reduced practice time, and coaches not playing starters much in preseason,  it was poor to start the season for a couple weeks but wouldn’t make sense this late in the season.  
     

    I agree that the average NFL game has been boring.

    When you look at the entire body of work, NFL games in general this season., they are BORING!  Go back to the 14 game format and make each game mean something.

    McKenzie's Place in the Offense Going Forward

    I would add that we are not getting the production from McKenzie, that we got from our former slot receiver who I shall not name due to the political leanings of this board.  Either it is the play calling or simply McKenzie can't get open in the slot not sure which is the cause. 

    McK doesn't get the game - enough said!

    Anybody see replay of Dion's holding penalty

    Such a huge play and call. 1:43 left and Diggsy makes an amazing catch. Instantly put us at NYJ49. Was it an egregious flag by Land Shark? If that flag isn't thrown, Josh does get hurt.  Anyone see it on tape or all22?

    The coverage of that game overall was terrible.  A lot of missed replays on many plays.  Ugly.

    Proper Gear for Game Sunday?

    Coming in from out of town for the game Sunday and I am looking for thoughts on what the locals would consider the right layering and gear to stay warm and dry through tailgate and game. Thanks and Go Bills!

    A sweat shirt, a fall jacket over it and then a rain slicker with a hood over that.  It won't be freezing cold.  Not classic Buffalo winter weather!!

    Should the Bills re-sign Ed Oliver?

    Ed Oliver is a good defensive tackle.  But I’m not sure he’s a great DT.  

    Because of athleticism and potential, every year he is pegged as a player set to have a “breakout season” especially in 2022 with the additions to the DL.  

     

    But like the past year, his “breakout” seasons, it just hasn’t happened in 2022.  The fact that he missed 4 games to injury didn’t help.  But still at the half way point he has 0 sacks, 1 TFL, and 1 knocked down pass.   A fairly pedestrian impact so far.  


    After a strong rookie season, this seems to be the case for Oliver over the past few years.  He has a handful flashes but for the most part, he’s a good, to sometimes average DT in the Bills defense. 


    A far cry from the game-wrecker that Oliver was projected to be as a Top 10 pick in 2019 and throughout the course of his career.  
     

    This leads me to the question of whether the Bills should re-sign him.  He is under contract for one more season in 2023, but if you had to make the decision today would you re-sign him?

     

    To anyone thinking that he’ll take a “home town discount” guess again.  This is his first chance for a big-money contract.  Based on his pedigree, athleticism, and some of the flashes he’s show on tape there’s little doubt he will get laid - but will it be from Buffalo?

     

    Given the big contracts that will kick in over the next few seasons, I don’t think there’s any way that Buffalo should re-sign Oliver to a new contract if the choice had to be made today.   What do you think?

    He and Epinesa are classic back-ups.
