They’re definitely not without fault! I didn’t like Frazier’s 3rd and 22 call, rushing 3 and dropping 8 into coverage - but only 2 inexperienced safeties deep. If you go back and look at the replay, there were no corners back to help and two receivers breaking open deep. If Tua wanted to hold the ball even longer, he could’ve had a guaranteed TD with the way the Bills D was split. I just wish Frazier would STOP with the conservative play calling. It’s proven time and time again to give up big plays in crucial moments. As I said, they’re not a poorly coached team, but that doesn’t mean they don’t make boneheaded play calls from time to time.

I didn’t understand the contract because Knox has never been a heavily involved focal point of the receiving game, yet he was paid like it. I’m sure they paid him on the potential to be a focal point, or a TE who could take over games, but I would’ve had to see it first, even if it would’ve raised his contract by a few dollars. Thought it was bad then and I still think it’s bad now and no, my thoughts have nothing to do with the loss.

I don’t believe the Bills are poorly coached, not one bit. Do the coaches have moments that don’t put the team in the most advantageous situation? Sure, but the same could be said for every coaching staff in the history of the game. Those moments are more outliers than the norm, hence the team’s success and scoring margin. Don’t forget we went through 17 years of futility and irrelevancy, don’t get spoiled by success.

Why wasn’t the Dolphins defense laying down? They were on the field for 40 mins and if that was our defense, fully healthy, giving up chunks and chunks of yardage, we simply would’ve dismissed it as fatigue and blamed the offense for not staying on the field. Those guys didn’t wilt against the Bills O, hats off to them.

That defensive play call on 3rd and 22 still irks me. Led to the Dolphins TD. Never should’ve played so passive and allow those track stars to run against safeties, both CBs weren’t even down the field. Reminded me of the 3rd and 19 in Houston during the playoffs where the Bills were so conservatively far back they gave up 20 yards underneath because the closest man was too far back. My god can we just play normal defense? Stop with the conservative BS! I don’t even need to bring up 13 secs. Also, I am absolutely shocked the Dolphins defense never wilted in the heat. That number 55 was everywhere and made a huge difference in the game.

Know who else has been monitoring the Bills closely all season? Chiefs fans. There’s a 45 page thread on Chiefs Planet dedicated to the Bills to which they discuss the team and their chances against us. It predates the Rams game up until now. Why don’t we have a running Chiefs thread? 😂 Are the Bills overhyped?

Lay down $100 you win $200 and your money back, so $300 total. The -650 means you’d have to lay down $650 to win $100, total payout $750.

I said all along the Bills need to involve Knox more. I found it curious they decided to pay him top 5 TE money when he’s never been a huge part of the receiving game. Probably has more meaningful blocks than catches and I don’t consider that top 5 worthy in terms of salary. Gabe’s contract will be due soon and it’ll be a struggle to keep him I think.

I wish he didn’t go back in during the Rams game. He probably further aggravated it because he was out after two plays. I don’t think it’s more than a common sprain, but since he’s not 100%, the Bills are giving him the full time he needs to recover. It’s a long season.

Johnson is very instinctual and plays fast, but dude runs a 4.7 40. He has good quickness and can hit, so I too hope he plays closer to the LoS. Poyer isn’t a burner either, but if Tyreek or Waddle get behind a corner and Johnson isn’t already sprinting ahead of him towards the endzone, it’s a wrap. Too bad the GMen snatched up Nick McCloud. Word is he was doing very well at S and he’s also a burner (4.4).

The next step is to see it against the likes of the Chiefs. Can’t recall one play Edmunds has made against them that made me jump out of my seat. His best play I recall was in the regular season game last year when Mahomes was scrambling to his right and Edmunds moved with him, but was looking all around trying to find the guy Mahomes would want to throw to. I liked the awareness he showed on that play and is my most memorable play of Edmunds vs the Chiefs.

It’s been quiet because the media hasn’t been asking. They haven’t been asking because they’re going to get the same response from McD, he’s not going to share Tre’s progress, or how he looks in practice.

First time I’ve seen Josh in a National commercial.

Diontae Johnson couldn’t play for my team. Just far too inconsistent catching the ball.

Jaquan Johnson is limited by size and athleticism, but has good instincts and has impressed every time he’s stepped on the field. Ed Reed thought he’d be great at the NFL level, so the time to prove himself may start Sunday against the fastest pair of wideouts in the league.

I don’t know why I go into McD press conferences expecting to learn something. I love hearing Brandon Beane speak, he’ll tell you some things. McD not so much.

Looks like Danielle Hunter fell off a cliff. Also not impressed where Chandler Jones falls on the chart; we all thought we were getting him before Von 😄

I heard the Bills defense got the better of the Bills offense far more days in camp and that the main reason was that the DL was whooping the OL and not giving Allen enough time to cook. That’s how you beat the Bills offense, you have to dominate their OL. Easier said than done though, most teams aren’t super deep in the trenches. Oh and also hope Allen has an off day.

I would prefer to see Moss moved before the trade deadline, but he likely doesn’t fetch more than a 5oz bag of Sour Patch Kids.

Then I have no idea why Taron didn’t immediately crash down. The bigger fault is rolling 5 DBs out there against that heavy package. Get some more beef on the DL, or more than two LBers on the field.

The only way it was possible for Taron to get there is if he had zero responsibility from the WR lined up across him and immediately blitzed from the slot. Even then I’m not 100% sold Taron Johnson stops Derrick Henry. (1:50 mark)

The puke emoji was for the personnel and the defensive call on 4th and 1. Not your answer. If the Bills run Nickel against goal line packages they’re asking A LOT out of their front 4. Too much even. Match goal line with goal line. Get a bunch of fat d-lineman in there to clog it up, don’t have your MLB playing back, unsure which gap to attack (and there were two that formed), because then you get that situation where he stays home and doesn’t fill either one.

I actually thought about starting a topic on it and listing the starters on both sides to remind everyone. Figured it was much too early in the season to do it. But I would’ve if the Bills got to 8-0.

2022 Bills vs 2007 Pats. Who ya got?

I just know the Bills aren’t calling nickel on the goal line on 4th and 1 against Derrick Henry. Does someone have the All-22 to look at the defensive personnel on that play?
