Bosa again!! Such an underrated signing. Everyone focused so much on his injury history, they forgot he is a legit top 10 EDGE when he's on the field healthy.
Remember that Bills-Chargers game from 2019-2020? Bosa was unblockable in that game.

Just came across this on ESPN site. According to that metric, Allen had the 11th best statistical QB performance for the weekend...which shows some flaws in the system. For those of you keeping track, Jackson finished #1.
Oh jeez. Jackson had a great game.

People need to abandon this stupid narrative. Allen is 77-34 as a a starter. That’s really good. Jackson is 70-25 as a starter. That’s better.

He played the final series on Sunday. How did this happen?
From practice this week. It’s in the original post.

The Bills were so lucky there. But it was a lucky game overall, especially with the Keon catch. Given all the bad luck, they were due.

A little obscure from the typical WNY recommendations but I thoroughly enjoyed the visit and tour of Frank Lloyd Wright’s Martin House complex near Delaware Park. It wasn’t available when I lived in WNY but is well worth it. Truly amazing to see this 125 year old landmark restored.
The Martin House is one of the greatest things to see in Buffalo.

I always thought the 49ers were a well run organization. WTF are they doing with Mac Jones as their backup? 😂
I regard Jones as among the top 16 backup qbs. He is also a pretty good fit for that system.

The chiefs had 3 TOs in the 13-second game.

I don't know. If the Bills decide to kick at 15 seconds, sure, Baltimore doesn't have much of a chance, but they have at least a glimmer (as we know to well from Illegal Forward Pass Homerun Throwback Shoot Me Now). Or the Bills take the knee and kick with the clock running, but with a lot less time to switch units. Now that I think about it, why don't you just have your field goal unit take a knee? Too much room for error, since they are not used to it?
That's true. The Bills can snap it if they time it right and ground it. Again, though, there is at least the Hail Mary chance. Why not? Baltimore loses nothing by it, unless you think that with 30 seconds to take the knee and bring on the FG unit, there is a better chance of something going wrong for the Bills than there would be for a Hail Mary. That might be true.
I think harbaugh played it right because by letting the clock run, the bills had to be as simple as possible on the kick snap count and the linemen could not move at all - a false start would have ended the game (10 second runoff). That allowed kyle hamilton to slice through with ease and he missed the block by about an inch. It was so close to being blocked.
Harbaugh is an old special teams coach and gets this.
31 minutes ago, The Cincinnati Kid said:The Ravens should have gone for the 4th and 3.
They had 3 timeouts, so even if they don’t get the 1st down, and Buffalo takes over, the Bills mindset is run clock and kick the FG. So, after the Bills force the Ravens to use all 3 timeouts, there is still about the same amount of time that Josh had and zero timeouts to get into FG range.
In that scenario, you absolutely trust your Hall of Fame backfield and if they get stuffed you still get another swing at it.
It is an open question if Jackson could have played on the 4th down play because of the oliver hit, and I seriously doubt they would have run him. The Bills would have realized this. He was limping after that hit and in pain.

In that scenario, the clock runs down enough that it doesn't leave BAL enough clock anyway, plus it gives the Bills a nice calm, clock stopped chance at the kick.
Also, the Bills could thrown a deliberate incomplete end zone fase pass on third down and gotten the clock down to 10 or so seconds. The fg takes around 5 seconds, and then you kick it out of the end zone (no chance for a td return). They have 5-6 seconds and no timeouts and therefore have to complete a 65 yard hail mary.

It's his first ever game as a head coach and he just led an offense with a bottom tier QB to more points than his previous team scored in their week 1 matchup. Once they move on from Williams next year he'll be able to show what he can really do in that position.
You really think Williams is a goner by year 3 as a starter?

Apparently, the reason why Baltimore didn't go for it on 4th & 3 on their final possession was because Lamar was 'cramping'.
Before you condemn Jackson, you might want to look at this play. Jackson limped off the field after this happened. Cramps was a euphemism for getting absolutely drilled.

Sometimes that works, sometimes it doesn’t. Most of the times, if I come back in a few minutes, its flaring up again. I need like 30 for it to go completely away.I have had something like this is my hamstring training on the mats and it took about an hour to go away. It wasn’t moving like this one but it had ripples. I really don’t think there is anything more painful in the world. I have had a woman who gave birth say that its worse than delivery a baby lol.
Um … I don’t think Jackson’s problem was cramps, whatever the stated rationale was.

Agreed. Caleb looks good.PS: In that Athletic piece, Alex Smith talks about his first OC in SF forcing him to play under center every play and avoiding runningdespite his strengths in the shotgun and his running ability. He doesn’t name names, but that OC was Mike McCarthy, who Dunne accused Rodgers of undermining. I was very underwhelmed with McCarthy in Dallas with a great roster, so that factors into my evaluation of what Dunne does. He seems to rely to a significant extent (not entirely) on malcontents to drive his narrative about whichever subject is the focus of his deep dive.

Welp, Dunne is looking about as accurate about Williams as he was about McDermott and Aaron Rodgers.

So was Lamar actually cramping or did he just take a play off because he got rocked?
Wow. Missed that. Now I see why they punted.

Slightly off: Henry actually has 2548 touches inclusive of receptions) and 21 fumbles overall - 0.82%. If you include his 211 postseason touches and one fumble, he is 0.797%.

(mind you i head west and south, vs everyone else)
Wow, that was really close.

It was for Cook. The Ravens read it. Nobody else got close to open.
It was a TERRIBLE decision to go for two in that moment.

So effing stupid. Go for 2 at the end, when the opposing F is completely gassed. Who is doing this decision making???

Just now, GunnerBill said:
Going into the 2024 draft the Bills needed a receiver who could win outside and a safety who could cover.
We drafted Keon Coleman and Cole Bishop.
We now need a receiver who can win outside and a safety who can cover.
Or we can simply effing take the established XP.

Taking an authenticated XP off the board: 99 percent of the time a terrible idea.

But he probably assumed Bishop would do his job, which he evidently didn't. Can we all at least agree that Bishop is not a budding superstar making brilliant play after brilliant play?
He was POSITIONED there by Babich.

Bishop can't stay out there folks. He doesn't know what he is doing at all.
Don’t blame him. Babich made that call, and Babich is a rolling disaster. Outschemed on 3/4 of plays.

Rodgers will break eventually.
He's still got a live arm for now, though.
He looked freaking good on that drive to me. As for him breaking, I dunno. Outside of the achilles, I wouldn’t categorize him as injury prone.
