I dont necessarily need Duck Butkus or Brandon Spikes, but i do want a MLB who doesn’t look like he’s on skates whenever he comes in contact with an OL. Tremaine doesn’t play a physical brand of football, to say otherwise is foolish. He is a sideline to sideline backer, but always a step or two slow in making the big play. He’s an above average player, largely based on his measurables, nothing more.

Allen had something like 55 yards at halftime against the fishies. The Allen that played against the 49ers last season would’ve ripped both those defenses apart, pressure be damned. There are plays to be made out there, he’s just not making them right now.

So far, it does seem to the untrained eye that Milano has been more impactful on the field than Tre White, but that’s not to take anything away from Tre. Milano has been balling, coverage, blitzes, tackles, he’s been a wrecking ball.

With his slow step approach, could you imagine having to punt from the 1 yard line, where he only gets 10 yards of separation as opposed to his usual 15? Eek.

T Edmunds Star Feliciano D Knox L Wallace Oh wait, think I misread the question 😂

I’d like to believe this myself, given his length and speed, but he’s not a physical player. I think if he were to blitz off the edge and a tight end got in his way, the tight end wins. I don’t say that to be snarky, I just can’t remember one play where Edmunds physically imposed his will on an opponent. Not a single one that made me say “wow, Tremaine!” His next contract with the Bills shouldn’t be worth more than Milano’s and if it is, I’d be upset if I were Milano.

Wish I had a sports Almanac like Biff from Back to the Future. Bet $250 and take home $7M. Crazy.

Has anyone mentioned the parlay that’s still alive? A man placed a $25 bet, has a chance to win $726,959. https://sports.yahoo.com/nfl-betting-16-team-parlay-still-alive-heading-into-monday-163204160.html

Mac Jones, a rookie playing in his second game with significantly less of a supporting cast than Josh Allen, went 29-39 for 281 and a TD against these same Dolphins. Josh is struggling, don’t blame the Miami defense for that. It’s okay to acknowledge he’s not hitting the same throws he regularly hit last season and in training camp.

Allen will be fine in time. By all accounts he was lights out in training camp. It’s difficult to sustain that level of play and focus for weeks on end, we’re now witnessing a bit of a slump where he’s missing reads and throws. All great players go through these slumps. Brady is the closest to a machine and even he has his off days. I fully expect Allen to come around, I actually thought it’d happen after he got riled up from the push out of bounds. Better that it’s happening now and not at the end of the year. That’s when he needs to be hot.

I’d seriously entertain a trade for Edmunds. If the rest of the league is as high on him as the Bills, surely he could fetch a 1st round pick? Then again, his peers don’t recognize him as a top 100 player (top 200?), so perhaps only the Buffalo coaching staff thinks he’s a game changer. Trade him before you have to pay him, he’s not worth more than Milano.

The “No Fun League” has eliminated any possibility of bad blood between teams, or true grudge matches. I miss the bad blood, loved when it was in the NBA too. Those Bulls/Pistons and Knicks/Heat matches used to be epic.

Agreed, just another subjective penalty to give them even more control over games.

Is R Wilson the best deep ball thrower in the league? If he’s not, he’s def in the conversation. Maybe Mahomes & Rodgers have a case as well.

Derrick Carr had himself a day. As did Eppy, hats off to the young Bills DL! OL and a real MLB is the focus next draft.

Edmunds struggles with ball skills. He’s lucky that ball he was batting around on the sidelines didn’t go as a fumble. He would’ve never lived that down. Whether it’s hand-eye coordination, or his adrenaline is running too high, he’s just not good securing the ball.

I’d love to see progress, maybe you don’t. But when a team returns 21/22 starters and the issues that plagued them last year look apparent again - so far - it doesn’t give me the warm and fuzzies for marquee matchups like KC. Yes, any given Sunday, and the players can still improve, but I’d love to experience more than another playoff exit. I’d love this team to take the next step. It’s okay to criticize the squad, just like it’s okay to praise their hard work, that’s what these messageboards are for.

Duh, it’s one game, never said otherwise. The Bills were off, they weren’t gonna go 17-0 anyway. My observations were that the ills that plagued them last season, continue. Good lord.

If it comes with a Suberbowl W, of course. Otherwise it’s largely status quo.

Same problems as last year. OL struggles to protect, DL struggles to get home with 4, DBs can’t hold long enough for DL to get home. Wallace is still a liability, Edmunds can’t catch a cold (why is he on the hands team??), and the team won’t go far if Allen is off. Team is also not good enough to have 2nd and 3rd round picks inactive.

Mead is a great dude, met him back in 2016 at a Rex Ryan coached Arizona Cardinals game. Not only was he extremely friendly, but I was a bit taken aback at how accommodating and amazing Buffalo Bills fans were as a whole. Hammer’s Lot is where it’s at! I’ll be making a return for the Texans game ❤️💙

Haven’t watched a single episode, but just read somewhere that Dak can’t feel his toes. Dallas should’ve waited for him to return to the field and play at a high level before dishing out all that coin. Sucks to say, but it’s a business, the injury’s mental toll could change Dak as a player.

Right before the Bills traded for Diggs they were after Sanders. Sanders wasn’t sure about joining the team and told the Bills to give some time to think about it (something like 24 hours?) Hours later that same day, Sanders saw the trade for Diggs go down and was like “ok, I guess that was that” and he made the decision to join the Saints. I recall the article as well.

I think Brown’s issues were more mental than physical and he never recovered. I can’t find the article, but I remember him saying while he watched the offense explode without him last year, he didn’t know quite where he fit after returning and had to get his confidence back up. I raised an eyebrow at his statements because I never thought he would lack for confidence or feel marginalized. He just didn’t play the same as he had before the missed time.

So once Harry and McKenzie (?) are given the IR designation and Ferguson/Hollister (?) are signed back to the roster, who do the Bills cut once the IR designees are able to return?
