Stopped to LOL again at Tyreek going full Cam Newton on that late fumble.

something like 41-3 at halftime maybe?

I kind of took the opposite tack… even through last year Kelce would have bouts of the dropsies. If Kelce can be the best with his traits even with the occasional hiccup, then Knox with his similar traits and hiccups is worth taking the long view on. Knox has always had those flash plays even as a rookie, and has been said, came in awfully raw - like the Josh Allen of tight ends.

Moving Ford to the bench for Feliciano (or anyone) obviously. Williams at RG, seems to have the power to move bodies that Feliciano didn’t, I deem that an upgrade. Brown at RT over Williams looks like the guy who is athletic enough to handle game wreckers like Watt and Bosa. At worst that’s a wash right now but I think by the end of the year he’ll be the best of the 5. So on a scale of 1-10 (arbitrary ball parking here) LG goes from 2 to 6, RG from 6 to 7, RT from 7 to 7.5 with upside. Domino effect. And that!

Only you know and I know what that means…

The Bills offense this year may not be a fine-tuned machine but it has a big big tank of nitrous. Brown starting has elevated 3 positions on the line, his own and both guards.

I think Poyer's PF was legit... What was interesting that the Bills got the breaks from officiating for a few weeks... you know, like the good teams often do. But against the Chiefs it was like the sad-sack Bills vs Pats rules. Perception is a lot of it. With this win the Bills seize the perception that they are that team, the one that is better and executes and if they're winning it's not because they're cheating, it's that they're better. It's a slim, subconscious margin but I'm sure it exists at some level.

Former HS wide receiver. Wouldn’t be a stretch to see that or some hail m****y defense which might have been nice last year

I've gotta go back through the thread to see if it's been mentioned but if Milano is 99% or less on his hammy I'd think about sitting him and giving it another 2 weeks to heal up. Klein might actually be a better fit to face the Thumbtacks heavy run attack and Jonnu Smith isn't around to exploit his coverage.

I want Spencer Brown every week, but oh my gosh!

If you do, can you translate the commentary for me please, TIA

What was the quote from that necro-bump on April’s pre-draft thread? Something about, in a draft year like this one where players couldn’t/didn’t play, the better front offices in the league have a chance to significantly out-perform the dross and steal some players who would have been on the radar in normal years.

Rooting for that third rou… I mean, for Frazier to be in contention

That’s Nick Wright on the right, right?

Also pretty strong

So you’re telling me the Bills can’t win the close ones. (ducking)

then don’t try to make the argument that one marginal call is egregious and bad and the other marginal call is valid and good. That’s textbook subjective. If both calls are made or neither call made, the what’s the problem?

Bills didn’t have the horses to do in the AFCG what they did yesterday. Like complementary football between O, D, ST, Bills have a complementary front office and coaching staff.

In other words, the roughing the passer call on Ed Oliver on a 4th down stop? Situationally the stripes literally took the ball away from the Bills and gave it back to the Chiefs. On the Clark call, they left the Bills 70+ yards away from the end zone. Go get a stop. If you’re not playing well enough to beat the opponent and the refs, then you’re not playing well enough.

I don’t always score touchdowns, but when I do it’s with a spin move.

Nah, coaching was big. The play I keep coming back to was the Chiefs turnover on downs, tipped pass by Poyer. Addison iirc was left end and defeated his block and had a clear upfield path to Mahomes and suddenly stopped in his tracks, did not continue upfield, and by doing that maintained contain on Mahomes in the pocket. All the lineman concentrated not on getting to the QB but just preventing him from leaving the pocket. Mahomes had 8 friggin seconds in the pocket before he threw, and finally tried to zip it over Poyer who tipped it for the inc. Those DL were coached to do something unnatural to them (i.e. don’t try to sack the QB). That’s coaching, scheme, and execution.

There was that commentary right after McD was hired that he was the anti-Rex Ryan. Similarly this D game plan was the Palms magnum opus and the exact opposite of the Rex 46. Don’t chase the big plays, just follow the plan, execute with discipline, and the plays will come to you through the scheme. When Chuck Knox came the early 80s the Bills weren’t the most talented bunch but could win if opponents weren’t on point through Ground Chuck and tough D. In the Super Bowl years the Bills were as talented as anyone, but Levy and Corey got killed at the big moments by, let’s face it, better coaching. This is something different. This roster is top-echelon talent-wise in the league, and after getting punked by Tomlinson & co week 1, Daboll stopped trying to be cute like Andy Reid and the defensive coaches been unbelievable with game planning and halftime adjustments. With that combination, it doesn’t matter if the opponent is on point or not. The Bills will win if they don’t beat themselves.

To be the man, you gotta beat the man
