I think that's part of why he's looked so good. Not only is he healthy, he's loving the Buffalo culture and the locker room. He's part of something he knows is great and feels it. I think that's giving him a little bit extra. He and Josh Palmer both haven't played for a team like ours and their enthusiasm is showing: We'll see how he much he really likes it here come Winter 😄

Making this post after 1 week against the most high powered offense in Football and doing it right at the start of the game rather than waiting to see how it went first was a choice.

That's taking a take from slightly hot to absolutely ludicrous. The crux of the discussion was that Bosa looked better in this game than in any game Von was a Bill. You're now taking it from that to Bosa at his best was a better player than Miller at their best. The former discussion is at least debatable. But I'm sorry, that's a ridiculous take. Von at his best was easily the best Defensive End in Football. He's a future Hall of Famer that heavily contributed to two Super Bowl wins with two different teams - being named Super Bowl MVP for one of them. Again, I love what I've seen from Bosa. Bosa is the now and we're all behind him. I get being excited about him, I am too. But you can do that without rewriting history for the guy with the Bills logo on his helmet now and dismissing the career legacy of the guy who isn't here anymore. Which you're definitely doing here.

That's the crux of the post. If it were 'Bosa looked better in that game than the majority of Von's tenure" or "Bosa looked better in that game than Von did in any game in 2023 or 2024" - no question. That's not even up for debate. But to say "ever"? That's definitely up for debate. But Bosa is the now and boy does he look great! If he can stay healthy, we've finally got a pass rush that can disrupt QB's.

More than solid. He had 8 sacks in 10 games. With the game on the line against the Chiefs in KC, he closed out the game by taking down Mahomes - which is what we brought him in for. Again, I love what I'm seeing out of Bosa. We all know that Miller was never the same guy after the ACL tear and we only got 10 games of true Von in 3 years. But I think saying he looked better than Von "ever" did for us is revisionist history - focusing on the end sum result of his signing and the present, while misconstruing the past. That said, Bosa has the chance to be more of an impact player for this team that Von was for us in 3 years if he can stay healthy all season. But this game up against Von's best game is, at best, heavily debatable.

I'm loving what I'm seeing out of Bosa. But "ever" is pushing it. Miller was a force of nature that first 10 games for us before he got the ACL tear.

He has been getting consistent pass rush on drop backs. Even against Lamar. He's made an immediate impact. Of course, we all worry about his health. It's pretty clear the Bills aren't though. They even had him out there deep into the 4th and I was like "I don't think he needs to be out there right now". If he can stay healthy all season, he's going to be a force. Makes me want to buy his Rivalries jersey, but he's only under contract for this season.

Bosa is a monster.

Stone hand Knox game.

If they did that to Josh, the Jets Safety would have been flagged and arrested. Got away with one on that.

My fear is he's now a no-trick pony. As he didn't look great in Training Camp or the Pre-Season. He wasn't given many reps in Week 1 (seemed to be all Cook and Johnson, Davis had one carry). He's not picking up the tough yards anymore and he doesn't have the finesse skill set or the speed to be the kind of back he'd like to be. Really baffling decision by him. He had a good thing going as a change of pace power back.

I'd love to be wrong, but I have zero faith in Ray Davis this season. I cannot believe he decided to drop mass this off-season. The whole reason he was brought in was to be the heavy to James Cook's finesse. I was in shock listening to him say "I cut weight bc last year I was just being used for tough yardage and I want to be more of a complete back". It doesn't shock me at all that he only had one carry last week and the team seems to be completely focusing on just Cook and Johnson.

Agreed. We don't generally go with 5 active at DT. That's why we didn't bring anyone up when Carter went down. Carter would have been inactive so it didn't change much. What I do find interesting though is Logue is thought of as a 1T. So I assumed they'd bring up Phillips to step in at 3T alongside Sanders. My guess is that since Walker is like Phillips in that he plays more like a 3T in a 1T body that he'll be used more as a 3T this week. With Sanders and Walker at 3 and Jones and Logue at 1 - with some mixing and matching due to flexibility amongst some of the guys, depending on the situation. It'll be interesting to see who gets more snaps this week between Sanders and Walker, with Oliver down. Walker along side Jones would provide some serious beef up front for the Jets rushing attack.

It'll be T.J. Sanders and Jordan Phillips at 3T if Big Ed misses this week.

So.... what?

To this day, I can't tell if this is a real New York Jets fan coming here to talk trash or a Bills fan with a Jersey parody account... It's hilarious either way.

I mean, it's not like being on the Ed Oliver train at that point is some sort of bragging right or required an extraordinary following of College Football or of Ed himself. He was on the cover of Sports Illustrated and considered perhaps the best player in all of College Football going into that year.

I def want one but idk which i'd get. Josh is the safest one to get, but the only other current Nike jersey I have is Josh. Bosa would be cool, but he's only under a 1 Year Deal so that's a gamble. Maybe Cook or Coleman? Wish they made an Ed Oliver one. Is the shield on the Josh the standard shield, or are they selling his jerseys with the Gold Shield?

I've been on the Ed Oliver train since his Junior year at Houston. I was thrilled when he fell to us at 9. One of of my favorite Bills. Hope he's a Bill until he retires.

It never ceases to amaze me how people don't grasp the concept that the Backup QB position is *very* rarely filled with someone you're comfortable with. Backup QB's suck. That's why they're not Starting QB's. Hell, there isn't 32 good *Starting* QB's across the league. And the "best" Backup QB's don't sign with good teams that have their QB position solidified. They sign with teams that have a shaky QB under the helm, a team that has no QB so that they can compete for the job, or a young QB that may not be ready or could be pulled. That's why teams like us and the 49ers have to settle for what we can get and generally have a guy with starting experience but is no longer a starter bc of the tape they put out.

Jordan Poyer is already on the Practice Squad. His release was just a 24 hour formality to get Gabe Davis on the squad, so they could then place him on the Practice Squad Injured List. The team and Poyer knew when they did it that they'd be bringing him back the next day and they did just that. We're allowed six veterans on the Practice Squad. Our six were Jordan Poyer, Jordan Phillips, Dane Jackson, Matt Prater, Kendrick Green, and Dan Feeny (with Davis exempt and on the injured list). Now that Prater has been signed to the 53, we have one open spot on the Practice Squad for a veteran. If Davis is ready to practice soon, they may just move him on now. But if there's still some time, we'll be bringing someone else on.

Andrew Booth was mine and many other posters CB of choice where we were picking in the 2022 Draft, instead of Kaiir Elam. He ended up being selected 42nd in the Draft, after concerns of a Sports Hernia injury. He would be traded to the Cowboys last season and released in final cuts this season. Elam wasn't the choice, but Booth wouldn't have been either. Either way, I thought it interested that we brought him in for a look. We do have an open veteran spot on the Practice Squad with Matt Prater being called up, so he could be a candidate there. Unless Davis is close to ready and they just want to move him from Injured to Active into Prater's position.
