I'm a lefty!

Was kind of thinking the same. There's Manning, but he hasn't exactly lit the word on fire the way he was expected too. Not sure too have all these 1st round picks with contracts all expiring the same year is a good long term solution either? You need some vets to lean on. How much dead cap are the Jets taking on with all these moves, will they be able to sign any vets this coming off season?

I think a decision may need to be made between Edwards and McGovern as not sure they will want to pay both as have also drafted low cost rookie contracts on O-line too so wouldn't pencil both of them in. I think either Oliver will need to agree to a pretty decent pay cut in the off season or he may be gone. Agree to, take strong off of list and add Hancock

Yes, by clueless fans only

Think it's a combination of the above. Players, bigger, faster, stronger and per the CBA only allowed to practice less. Then add a little juicing in when they can get away with it. Then over train in off season to make sure they make the team and get big contracts If you saw the movie about 40 years ago, Stepford Wives, we need Stepford players to handle the above. Actually thinking about the wives of NFL players, they may all be Stepford wives?? Is there any professional athlete out there with an ugly wife??

Add to that Our boundary players likely don't practice blocking drills as much as the lineman do so don't block as well so may hold more. Kincaid was not a great blocker, he has improved, but maybe holds more. I wonder too, the league has moved towards full time officials. Likely during off season they review film much more and maybe review film more of best and worst teams in league at certain skill. Bills were were one of best blocking teams in league last year so in review of film, did they find , oh yeah the film shows the reason is they held more. And so the refs have been told to watch for certain thing more?

Is Zac Taylors contract up? I think that's how Lewis kept his job as long as he did. Mike Brown is very cheap and doesn't want to pay a coach not to coach. Seemed like every time Lewis was at the end of his contract he's have a good year, add to that he'd work/resign cheap so Bengals would keep extending him. So I think if Taylors contract is up, then he could be in trouble, if not he'll stay.

The Bills have plenty of DE's for this year, Jackson was drafted for 2027 to take AJ's place, so the fact that he hasn't been active isn't surprising at all. There were articles written prior to the draft thinking the Bills might make more trades than they did as they didn't really have enough open roster spots to match te number of draft picks they held. So they used some for next year and have a years experience under his belt. Whether he succeeds or not who knows the only thing I do know is he hasn't played enough for anyone else to know either. The other thing I do know is there's been a number of good players that posters here labeled busts after even more time that Jackson has had who turned out to be good. Would start the list with Brown, Knox.

Headline I just saw: Buffalo’s injury situation has been among the worst in the league And the article was about the Sabres Must be something in the water!

4 It seems like they are just constantly collectively blocking in the wrong direction. Is there some tell the line is giving and teams have picked up on it a just go the opposite direction untouched?? 7 White has been an issue, but even prior to this week, with Hairston coming back , CB was set for this season. 9 Think we'll see Poyer on what are likely running plays and Hancock against the pass. For everyone who was dumping on Rapp, his problem all along could have been the knee which from what was stated an issue since late in training camp. It's hard to keep up with WR with 2 good knees, no less on one.

Yeah I was wondering the same. Maybe it's that new modern math! I read that Hairston and White were alternating each series. Hairston was exactly half the number of total snaps so makes me wonder if White's number is incorrect??

Considering the Bills don't appear to have ever been fined over this, they must be meeting the needs of the league. What information is given to the league is also private and not publicly disclosed which is different that what posters here are asking for. It wouldn't surprise me either if in the standard NFL contract, there is something written that all player medical info can be turned over to the league, it doesn't just stay with the Bills. In turn the league and the teams agree to not publicly disclose any of it. Yes I get it, the less info that is given leads to more speculation, but doesn't mean we as fans are entitled to know.

It just amazes me how many posters here seem to feel and act like it's their inalienable right to be informed about players injuries.

Here's my two thoughts If a D lineman jumps Offside, but then someone on offense holds him to prevent their QB from getting killed, it's offsetting penalties. To me they should count the 1st one that caused the 2nd. A stat that I don't like how it's handled, if a QB takes off running and gets tacked behind line of scrimmage, it's counted as a sack, but if he gains even a yard, then it counts as positive rushing yards. I think if the QB commits to running it should count as either positive or negative yards.

These are the two explanations I've always heard for it too

I have ST now that it's gone from DTV, but prior agree, waters were always smooth. I will add one time was watching a pirated feed of college game, then remembered I actually had that channel and switched to legal feed, the reception on pirate feed was much better picture.

Didn't some QB a couple weeks ago, think it might have been Drake Maye, say something like he knows what to avoid doing if he hits his head, so he doesn't get buzzed out of game. The whole thing is just a game they are playing, coaches, players both in on it.

I don't know, can a leopard change it's spots?

Was this announced this morning on the Get Up show??? ....... By Rex himself? LOL I find this to be a contradiction, Rex discipline?? I suppose Rex would enjoy seeing all the feet on South Beach The Dolphins would likely target a disciplinarian type a la Dan Quinn to be their next head coach. Former Buffalo Bills and New York Jets head coach Rex Ryan

tae Where's the stats?? LOL Just Google the coaching careers of the Jet's, Giants, Miami, Throw Buffalo in there for past 25 years, Cleveland, Jax, Indy just to name a few. Bengals should be on the list but Mike Brown was too cheap to ever fire Lewis. These teams would hir a coach, 3 or 4 years later team is no better so fire the next one. These were teams that didn't have good records to start with so the ability to improve is pretty large. In the case of the Bills now, the window to improve is very small based on how they've already done.

So QB is all that's holding the Rams and McVay back?? I don't think so. I think McVay is a good coach, but no better than McD and the record shows it. Yes he won one SB, but part of that is being in the right place at the right time. If you take that one year away, his record is even worse. Well actually it probably isn't worse, because likely he'd been fired by now. That's my whole argument with this dump McD crowd, the likelihood of getting betting is very low as there's not many teams that have had a better record than the Bills so much better chance of getting worse, not better.

Really have to understand the love affair with Sean McVay who has a regular season winning percentage of .606 compared to McD at .667 and McVay is 8-5 in playoffs, compared to 7-7 for McD. Yes he's won one SB, but two years he didn't even make the playoffs. And Shanahan win percent is even worse at .540, 8-4 playoff record which on one hand sounds better, but also mean more years he didn't even make the playoffs. McVay got to hand pick the QB he wanted so hard to argue the Allen is so much better argument. Besides if McVay is that much better, you'd think he could coach a lesser player to play as well as Allen? Interesting all three started the same year so basically all coached same number of overall games. McD has one less game played due to the Bengals no game. When Belichick was at NE I gave him about 60 to 70% of the credit and 30 to 40% to Brady. But once Brady left, realized I was wrong there. Belichick's teams also went downhill (admittedly it took a number of years) once Scott Pioli left and BB was doing the drafting so that's another big red flag with him, very poor drafting. I also wonder too if part of BB problem in later years was due to all the social media, advanced technology, etc. made it tougher for him to cheat without getting caught and that also may have led to his downward trend.

How do you know it's so hard? And how's the complexity here compare to other teams, how do you know that? There was an article in the paper maybe the Buffalo News where Landon Jackson was quoted as saying something along the lines of one of the other players told him. You're likely not going to always remember the play or your assignment or even hear the call right, just go with your gut and play fast. A rookie going with his gut can be a problem.

The defense in the first half played very well. I think NE made one half time adjustment. Put Diggs on whichever side White was on!

Fair, But my point in responding to this was to say this whole thread is crazy. The Bills didn't come close to losing yesterday because of Coleman. They lost because a number of things and from everything I've read, if anything more were central to Allen at least on the offensive side.
