So, so happy to see good games from Knox and Cook. It it continues, we will return to being an offensive force...

Brisset is getting about 75 cents on the dollar compared with Keenum. Just based on this game, he's looking like good value. Is he always like this, or is this an outlier?

McDermott has the mad "I told you so" look. Probably with regards to the run game. I like it.

Yes, 2020 Beasley would put this team over the top.

Imagine when Cook actually gets used in the passing game? Sitting in the flats unguarded or maybe short middle and catches a pass and just has linebackers to deal with?

Great to see Cook finding holes up the middle and justifying his pick status... If we can use Cook and Knox more going forward — and win — this game can be a turning point for the season.

Bills had a really slow start but — as we know from the last couple weeks — it's how you finish that counts. And, yes, the games not over. But I like the way it's trending...

For $4.65 million I'd take Brisset as a backup.

Great drive: some running, using Knox in the short game, Pendulum (13) catches the ball, and kill shot with Diggs. Josh showed good judgment and didn't force it. More of this please.

If we win and figure out how to feature Knox and the backs into a gameplan, I'll be happy.

This is completely asinine. The original poster is questioning the validity of Sean McDermott as a head coach as McDermott has been a head coach for five complete years without a Super Bowl championship. Did you bother to look up that it took Andy Reid 20 years as a head coach to win a championship as a head coach? According to your "facts" and implications that if a coach hasn't won it all in a handful of years that he's not good enough, Reid should have never gotten the gig as KC's head coach. Right? That's a fact that he went far over a decade without a championship so KC was foolish to hire him, right? I don't know if McDermott is the right coach for the bills (I suspect he's pretty darn good) but your argument is far beyond flawed. There are 32 teams in the league; with parity, it will take each and every team to 32 years to win one championship... But you're suggesting if a coach hasn't won it all in a half decade he should be highly suspect as incapable of ever doing so. Please tell me you're not a math teacher or philosophy professor.

Benford is a huge positive. Has he been perfect? No, but he held his own against veteran receivers and has helped an injury-ravaged team win games. Early on, I was almost thinking of getting his jersey as he is the epitome of the underdog: a 6th rounder pick starting over a first rounder. I hope he continues to improve and carve out a very good career as a long-term starter.

If that's the case, I hope his bad leg is elevated properly on a stack of Benjamins.

Man, would a Chargers win — and a Bills win — feel good.

If you don't believe your own eyes when it comes to Hines, do you believe Allen's and Digg's? When they first saw Hines run in practice they turned to each other and commented on how fast he was.

We can win with even a poor running game if we never turn the ball over. Easier said than done these days.

I don't know the route expectation but if Davis keep running hard and Josh throws it higher and leads the runner it seems like a good chance of a TD to me — and unlikely that it's picked. And Davis seemed to slow down after the ball came out and was looking short and low. We've seen good Josh make throws like this routinely.

Lots of Bills fans complain about bad calls but that Gabe call was the wrong one in our favor and I've seen multiple play of our secondary literally grabbing a fistful of Jefferson's jersey with no calls... Sometimes refs make the wrong call and sometimes we benefit. Go Bills!

WOW! Diggs is unreal. Catch of the season so far for the BIlls?

A bunch of players were talking about how Josh is "coaching" everyone from the sideline. McKenzie said that Josh was watching him and said, "I didn't realize you ran that route like that." That's a small thing but proof that Josh can learn some things from the sideline. Am I saying it's going to lead to some major epiphanies? No. But it's possible to discover some things — or perhaps relearn some old perspectives that may have slipped a bit — from the sideline.

The Trevor Lawrence note that the picture was actually edited is pure gold. On a personal note, Josh looks like the younger brother of the woman I had the longest relationship with after my divorce — and the action with her was very, very good. Needless to say, looking at Josh's face for the first couple years was weird.

Injuries in and of themselves are never good. But I believe Josh sitting on the sideline and watching the game and reflecting about his recent struggles may lead to a wiser Josh when he returns. Sometimes when things are going bad a break and some time off are a good thing.

" Packers fans may be familiar with one of the more well-known incidents. It took place in January 2017 in the days leading up to the Packers playoff game with the New York Giants at Lambeau Field. Beckham and some teammates took a trip down to Miami and were photographed on a boat during a day off from practice. Yes, it was a day off, but it certainly didn’t look like Beckham was concentrating on the game plan for the upcoming playoff game. Beckham didn’t play well in the game, catching only four passes on 11 targets for 28 yards. The Packers won the game 38-13 and the fallout from the Beckham photograph and trip was clearly a distraction for the Giants in the days leading up to the game." Yikes, the Buffalo fanbase — and the supposedly mighty Von Miller — have been hoping to acquire a player who GOT ON A BOAT DURING A PRACTICE OFF-DAY? What the hell are we all thinking!?

Marino: "The best run defense is a good offense." I was recently wondering if our run D looked so much better earlier in the season because we were scoring so many points other teams couldn't stick with a committed run game against us. 🤔

I appreciate your background and your perspective but athletes playing at the highest level in the world in front of over 60,000 live fans and millions watching on TV are not built like normal workers. You may be right but it's conjecture. I think the simplest explanation could be the correct one: Tre is healthy but getting in game shape (physically and instincts wise) after all this time off and the coach made a call (may have been a bad one but he's paid to make calls) that the current guys are better at this very moment that he thinks Tre would be. We shall see soon enough.
