Really, the matchup I'm looking at today is Kelce. I expect the Bills, needing no longer to choose between bracketing Hill or Kelce, will focus on Kelce and rely on zone outside. Not gonna lie, last week worried me some. Pickens had his way running outs against Elam any time they wanted, and when they moved Jackson over, he had his way with Jackson. For sure Reid won't miss that, it's such a simple concept for the Chiefs to run and execute with Mahomes. If the Bills' corners on off coverage cannot hold up on that route, it's just a really long handoff all day.

Same reason you don't?

Is that Lamar? Anyway, I'm sure Cian Fahey has a similar mashup video for Allen's mishaps somewhere. In terms of QB's, this stuff happens to everyone. So Mahomes drops it, Mahomes turfs it, Mahomes puts it into coverage. So does Allen, so does Brady, so does Rodgers. They're the best because they do it less often than others. Two things separate the top: consistency, and limitations. Brady has a limitation, he's 45 and runs like a paint can. Lamar can't attack outside the numbers and still seems like a half-field read guy. Rodgers hasn't been his normal consistency this year - and/or receivers haven't been helping him. Allen and Mahomes have been fairly consistent and have no limitations. Both can play the dink/dunk game or go over the top depending on what is available, or manufacture with the legs or make crazy off-schedule schoolyard plays. Any given week you can argue Allen over Mahomes or Mahomes over Allen but suffice to say they are their own tier of QB play right now.

So, I lit a fire

It was the Sabres, but now that a TD has been scored I don't need to watch this anymore.

Concussions can wreak havoc on the memory bank.

Four of the turnovers came against the Rams who, once the Bills stopping driving on them and then giving them the ball, did nothing while the Bills continued boatracing and ending drives in the end zone instead. Basically the Bills have been stopped by a) weather b) turnovers c) Dorsey's short-yardage gimmickfests, but not really by any given defense. Frankly I was surprised when the Bills didn't convert 3rd-and-20 against the Steelers, just due to the recent body of work.

Frazier no longer has to bracket Hill and leave Kelce to attack the base zones. That is no longer a concern. He will bracket Kelce and leave his normal coverage on their hyphen brigade at WR.

Guess who disagrees? Chiefs Planet and meth heads, but I repeat myself... There isn't one. There isn't one. Tua would be receiving last rites if Heyward hit him like he hit Allen.

It wasn't a home game for Tampa. STH's didn't all get their seats - those tickets are allocated.

Looks like the adjustment to the soft rushes from DL's, who are getting the arms up and batting passes down, is to just throw it really really far instead.

Checks out with what I saw in preseason. He was manned up on Claypool, who is a poor route runner. Neal can match up to Chase physically since he will round his cuts and doesn't separate.

The quality of the performance matters. Allen's last road playoff game, he played at as high a level as any QB ever has in the playoffs. We really don't know what Mahomes would do in a hostile stadium, he's never had to do it. He wasn't up to the challenge at the neutral site of Super Bowl LV.

Tre is too much a part of the identity of the Bills to be traded. On a strict production vs value I might agree.

Did you mean 4 series?

Peckernose is quite touchy about the subject of the Bills. Man up and take the dress off, Nicky.

If you were my nephew you'd be getting socks for Christmas.

Troy is progressive and enlightened. He thinks women should be allowed to wear clothes! Aikman could be the absolute GOAT if he were to post "I don't know why everyone is getting their panties in a bunch" as his response.

Your comment complements the video nicely.

Since it's a Yahoo thread, here's Monday's blast: The Buffalo battle station is fully armed and operational BY JAY BUSBEE There's a strange, unconscious hold bias that sports fans have toward teams which are particularly good, or particularly bad. If you're of a certain age, there's a small part of you that will believe the Pittsburgh Steelers are the toughest team of all time, simply because they were exactly that for a period in the 1970s. ‌ The Dallas Cowboys exploited this strategy perfectly by putting together two mini-dynasties in the 1970s and 1990s, thus establishing themselves as a worldbeating team in the memories of two generations, the baby boomers and Gen X. Millennial football fans will be fearful of the New England Patriots for decades to come, long after Bill Belichick hangs up his hoodie. (Gen Z has the attention span of a hummingbird and the recall of a goldfish; the idea of "memory" isn't really on their radar.) ‌ Now, consider the Buffalo Bills. For most football fans over the age of 40, the Bills are synonymous with spectacular face-plants on the biggest of stages. Four straight Super Bowl losses — and then an utter meltdown with 13 seconds remaining in a more recent playoff game — will do that to your legacy. No one's going to believe you can close the deal until you actually close the deal. ‌ Time to let those old biases go. The Buffalo Bills are a damn good football team, more than capable of winning it all. We knew this coming into the season, and they proved it once again in the first 51 seconds of Sunday's game against Pittsburgh. ‌ Before most fans had even found their seats, Josh Allen hit Gabe Davis for a cinematic 98-yard touchdown. The two connected again for a magnificent 62-yard, one-handed grab the next quarter. For about three quarters, Allen was on pace to beat the NFL record for passing yardage. (He ended with 424 yards and four touchdowns.) ‌ After five games, Buffalo ranks first in passing yards and total yards, and second only to Kansas City in points per game. The Bills lost a quirky one to Miami a couple weeks back, which doesn't help them in the divisional race but took that annoying "can they go undefeated?" trope off the table early. This is a team that's built to blow right past all assumptions. The question now is, can they capitalize on their promise? ‌ Yes, Allen was two years away from being born when Jim Kelly, Thurman Thomas and the rest of the Bills lost the last of those four Super Bowls. But Buffalo has more recent scar tissue, too, suffered last year by ending up on the losing side of one of the greatest playoff games in NFL history. ‌ They'll hear about that plenty over the next week, as they're slated to face Kansas City again for the first time since that epic, where they lost when they gave Patrick Mahomes 13 whole seconds to work his mojo. Kansas City has ended Buffalo's last two seasons, and until Buffalo is able to get past Mahomes & Co., all these gaudy numbers won't mean anything. ‌ We're still a long way from the postseason, but Buffalo is working up some serious momentum. This might just be the year that the Bills at last become famous for something more than just ... you know.

The book was plus arm, good decision maker, accurate, big-time production in a legit conference. Possibly a bit prickly personality-wise.

It occurs to me I don't LAMP enough. SO, from the morning email blast: BY JAY HART Five weeks into the NFL season and quarterback play has been, well, all over the map. We've had good quarterbacks be good, good quarterbacks be bad and bad quarterbacks be good. ‌We've had castoffs light it up, high-priced veterans stink it up and a quarterback controversy (not really, until Dak throws his next INT) emerge in Dallas. So what are we to do? Rank 'em, of course. (And then you email us and tell out how wrong we are. That's how it works). Let's have at it ... ‌ MVP candidates 1. Josh Allen: Only one thing left to bring to Buffalo. 2. Patrick Mahomes: Consistently amazing. 3. Jalen Hurts: So good, even Eagles fans like him. ‌ Elite-ish 4. Lamar Jackson: Playing his way into a monster payday. 5. Tua Tagovailoa: Most unfortunate injury in the league so far this year. 6. Justin Herbert: The Chargers will screw this up somehow. 7. Tom Brady: Playing through just a few distractions 8. Aaron Rodgers: It’s clear he misses Davante Adams … ‌ Really? 9. Geno Smith: Playing better than Russ. 10. Jared Goff: Playing better than Stafford. 11. Jimmy Garoppolo: Playing better than Trey. 12. Cooper Rush: Playing better than Dak. ‌ Underperforming 13. Kirk Cousins: He's been OK, but he does have the Vikings at 4-1. 14. Joe Burrow: He’ll right the ship in Cincy, right? 15. Kyler Murray: There may have been a reason for that study clause. 16. Matthew Stafford: Is he hurting, getting old, or just no time to throw? ‌ Good and bad 17. Trevor Lawrence: When he’s good, he’s good … but there’s too much bad. 18. Ryan Tannehill: Titans fans can’t wait for Malik Willis. 19. Derek Carr: … and other than last night, it’s clear Davante Adams misses Aaron Rodgers. 20. Russell Wilson: Is this what’s left of Russ? 21. Jacoby Brissett: Holding his own until Deshaun Watson returns. 22. Daniel Jones: Brian Daboll is making lemonade out of lemons. ‌ Kissing your cousin 23. Carson Wentz: Numbers aren’t terrible, just makes terrible decisions at the wrong times. 24. Davis Mills: Nope, not it in Houston. 25. Zach Wilson: Still a huge question mark. 26. Marcus Mariota: The only thing keeping Atlanta from going to Desmond Ridder is the Falcons’ tiny window of hope. 27. Jameis Winston: Same as he ever was. ‌ Bad 28. Matt Ryan: Got old real quick. 29. Mac Jones: What the hell happened? 30. Kenny Pickett: No clue yet, but gotta be better than Trubisky. ‌ Really Bad 31. Justin Fields: OK, he wasn’t gawd awful Sunday, but that’s a pretty low bar. 32. Baker Mayfield: Hurting his ankle may have saved him from being benched. Josh: You are correct, sir. Tua: Seems an ideal "Good & Bad" candidate this year. As in, good for one quarter and one nice throw against the Bills, and a bad headache ever since. Zach: Shouldn't that be "Kissing Your Mom"? Mac: We know.

No, just no. The Dolphins are the Tom Keating of the NFL, and that was before the karma of week 3 descended.
