Wonder if he hurt a finger or two on his throwing hand. There was one play where his hand hit the hand of a player rushing him and right afterwards was holding his hand.

CBS has a game, at 4:05 Eagles V Jax. Giants are playing early so standard practice not to go up against local team with a game on network without doubleheader that day, happens every week. Same reason Nashville, Atlanta, Dallas, Cinncy, and NE are not showing an early game on CBS. It doesn't happen too often in NYC are as normally with two local teams both of them on eastern timezone, one of them will always have an early game on TV. But since Jets played Thursday, only one local team.

Yes this coach appears to not play the worst player at certain positions and keeps them inactive. Do I know that he's the worst, absolutely not as haven't seen him play, but neither has anyone else. Oh wait the coaches do every week in practice, maybe that means something?? It doesn't take much though to figure out that maybe the reason is simply he's the worst of the position group. Unless you think we should keep 5 S active on game day and sit someone else, it's simply a numbers game and he's the odd man out likely because he's the worst in the coaches eyes. Are they thrilled with Hamlins play, likely not, but feel it's still better than Edwards/ Wouldn't be surprised if Beane has a tentative trade worked out, just waiting for this Sundays game to end, assuming no other safeties get hurt or Hamlin or Rapp completely stink, he gets traded this week. Or may decide keeping him as an insurance policy is the best option as others pointed out.

And who are they going to sign that's any better. From what I read it sounded like the guy they just cut was not better than Bass. Between the cost of cutting him and not likely finding anyone better, doubtful they will do anything unless things really get worse. But is there anyone to sign that promises to be better?

Wasn't Solomon out for the Tenn game? Just started to earn snaps then missed a week,, so likely this past week was rampimg him back up.

Yeah seems to me 3 biggest questionable spots for Bills are safety, LB, and DT

Also reported he had a stinger in 2nd quarter

So now he'll be a free agent coming off ACL injury, getting older, and last memory of his play was getting into it with close to entire Green Bay team and coach afterwards criticizing him for it. Add to that any GM would have to ask what team is willing to take, was it $29mil cap hit on a guy just to be rid of him. I'm sure some team will sign him, but with Diggs ego he will likely turn offers down that don't give him top money too for next season.

Maybe this was just Allen's way of taking a subtle shot about upcoming Miami game??

Yes but that's not what it sounds like the OP is suggesting. He wants to put the backups in when it was say 17-3, and say they give up a TD so now 17-10. According to him this will help the Bills learn how to win close games by being in nail biters to the very end. He wants to see the Bills win games by say only maybe 7 to 10 points, keep it close so they learn how to win these type of games better. So while I agree that can help, but the likelihood is some of these nail biters are going to become L's instead of W's just based on law of averages. I wonder if this is the same person a few years back who was arguing it's better to lose non conference games than to win them all?

The one thing I read the other day that the media got right was that this officiating crew calls a lot of penalties, but the road team also has a very good record when they work the game.

i hope so, but if you recall Davis was great his rookie year, making a bunch of 20 yard tip toe sideline catches. Then the 4 TD playoff game year 2

What a wimp! Cut if off and keep playing. He has two of them for a reason!

I'd argue they get one more shot with a 2nd team before getting labeled lifetime backup.

This weeks game starts at 4:05, it's not the national 4:25 doubleheader game. There's only one Fox game shown this Sunday. The 4:05 game is typically only shown in the areas of the participating teams, plus a few other places pick it up in the cities of teams that have a 1:00 home game. But looking at the 506 TV maps this week the Bills Seattle game is being shown in a larger than normal viewing area, it even has the Fox #1 team of Brady and Burkhart. Some of it's luck as cities that have a 1:00 home game also happen to be some of the largest populated cities in the country like NY, Houston, San Fran, and entire northeast in between them plus the state of Texas. Will be interesting to see the national rating next week if the Bills game outdraws the CBS doubleheader game as not what I'd call any great matchups being shown there. It's somewhat unusual to even have 3 doubleheader games so that will further split up viewership.

Pretty lucky that the same didn't happen with Allen. I really think the key is the correct development approach. Even Mahomes didn't play much his first year. Was Daboll here Allens 1st year or was it Greg Roman?

In the past 3 years there's been more sideline blows ups with Brian and someone than McD and someone so I'll side with McD on this one.

Maybe not so much this year but in the past the Bills offense often generates at least one of not two first downs, so Martin is often punting from close to the 50. That give less room for error, rarely can ever let it rip.

I'm more betting on the steal eventually being either Solomon or SVG

Didn't notice that, hmmm... interesting.

So YTD here's Coleman's Stats And Worthy Worthy has more TD's when you factor in the runs which tends to show he's more of a gadget guy.

Teams come out with a game plan and when it doesn't work switch to something else. Seems like the Bills stick with their original plan longer than most teams even when not working. When it gets more desperate, then they change things up. You don't want to give up on your plan too soon, but seems the Bills wait too long.

Bills could have had about 5 int's today, but dropped many. Teams come out with a game plan and when it doesn't work switch to something else. Seems like the Bills stick with their original plan longer than most teams even when not working. When it gets more desperate, then they change things up.

Nope Fox has the doubleheader that week. Good chance it will be the main "regional" 1:00 game with Nance and Romo on the call.

Apparently this guy must be a coach on the Bills and he's watched every practice since he proclaimed Edwards is better than Hamlin. The only thing I know is over the length of his career, yes Edwards is better than Hamlin, but in 2024, haven't seen him play so no idea. The only people that have seen him play is the coaching staff and the players.
