SectionC3

Nothing against Beasley, but it's time to get Gabe Davis on the field and get more speed in the slot. Sanders kicks in, or we put another big body on the field. Whatever. We need more speed.

I agree with everything about this except for Zack Moss's proficiency as a goal line back. He's not that. Our best short yardage back is Josh Allen. And it's not just because he's good at it. It's because he's the only one on this team who is good at it. It has been a problem for awhile. When we can't run the ball and can't protect well enough to take deep shots it is a major, major problem. Maybe that's it in a nutshell right there.

Without getting into details I think they took the opener way too lightly. Coaching staff on down. Taking the day off that Thursday was a bad idea, as was screwing around the Friday before that game.

I completely agree with this. I don’t know WTF is going on, but my comment today leaving that fiasco was that we are not sharp. Save for Cody Ford, there has been no consequence for poor, unfocused play. 19 should be the first example of that this week. 26 should have felt it a long time ago. 94 apparently is a problem in that respect, too. Enough is enough.

I agree with all of this, save fir the part about Addison costing us a first down. We had a PI on Klein that was declined on the same play. Still, the points are well taken. It’s hard enough to win in this league. Then, probably a third of our team is not protected from an easily preventable reason to miss multiple games. I know McD takes COVID seriously — his was the only family masked on a flight to Orlando after last season and before COVID hit. And yet he WR3 blabs all over social media about freedom this and constitution that, LT1 darn near died and is probably still not back to good after his bout with COVID, PR1 treated it like a joke until he got his wake up call, LG1 felt the same way, and then got vaxxed, but not until he lost 20 pounds without telling his bosses, LG2 had his own COVID bout, RG2 is forced into action and is playing like a space cadet, RT1 inconveniently misses two games after his dust up with COVID, 1 tech DT 1 did the same thing, RB1 is beyond casual with the ball, the OC refuses to feed Diggs, and franchise QB1 is under constant duress. It is a freaking mess right now.

I think there’s something to this. They don’t seem be having as much fun as last year. Somebody somewhere else said McD seems “checked out.” I don’t see that. But he strikes me as less enthusiastic lately than he had been earlier. I overheard a conversation in which McD was involved (sounds weird, but a Bills employee driving near me had the Bluetooth cranked) and I overheard about 15 seconds of a call in which McD sounded happy and fired up about the season. This was before the opener. Now …. Maybe sides were taken in the locker room, maybe he’s sick of the BS from Beasley and certain behaviors and choices, etc, of guys like star and brown. Maybe it’s trudging through a season they thought would be breezy and waiting for the playoffs. I don’t know. But something seems way off at One Bills Drive.

It's going in OP on the ECC South footprint. Book it.

From what I’ve heard one of the lead negotiators on the public side is on the way out. In a good way. Getting a promotion. That wouldn’t happen unless this thing was really close.

Same here. Reminds me of Chad Penningnton, with a slightly less bad arm.

Could be. I think the most likely thing is that Brown is out for the next two games. Hart might be insurance for that reason (behind Doyle), or he might be the swing tackle bc they’ve seen enough of Doyle for now. But, bottom line, doesn’t look good for brown this week or next. Edit - also suggests that Williams might stay at guard this week (which is what I would do and give bates a shot at RT). Who knows. Either way I can’t see them trotting out the starting five from the Jax game.

Sanders might take his spot next year. More speed in the slot.

I’m just going to say it. Gabe Davis is going to see much more action moving forward (the deep threat has been sorely lacking), and Sanders is going to start to kick into the slot and take some reps from Beasley. Won’t be popular, but we will be better for it. And, as far as the running backs go, I’m done with all of them. Singletary’s ball security issues are going to preclude second contract for him, Moss is the equivalent of a .250 hitter in baseball who does everything decently but nothing particularly well, and Breida is cast best with only a few touches a game.

I think you're going to see Breida in to attack the edges and Allen under center a lot more. Going to let the offensive line get aggressive -- no more diddling around on read options all day -- and work its way out of this. That's the guess here. Improves the run game and gives play action a bit more bite.

Oh no, big boy. That's no the issue. Do tell us about the justification defense. You seem to think you're pretty bright. So let's hear it. *** I'll hazard a guess. You have no clue what I'm talking about. Not a one. Which is not surprising. So "do your research" and, when you're done with that, you'll pretend to be smart and tell everyone what you learned. We await your knowledge, Buffalo Timmy.

Please do educate us on the defense of justification, Buffalo Timmy. The world awaits your knowledge.

The heavily armed child is on trial. No one else.

Looks like that Halloween party may not have been a good plan. The same thing happened in Erie County last year, and we had a lot of COVID spread right before Thanksgiving. Hopefully the Bills avoid that this year.

That’s what people said about smallpox back in the day. Get the vax, don’t get the vax. Once my kids are vaccinated, and as long as you don’t end up in an ICU with COVID on government dime, I really don’t care what you do. In the meantime, though, when a private enterprise tells you to pound salt because you aren’t vaxxed, please don’t whine and make sure to enjoy capitalism at work.

He was the recipient of the ill-fated pitch on fourth and stupid. Agreed. Maybe with Breida we get the speed necessary to run an outside zone here and there. I'm out of answers on the o-line and the run game. They suck, it sucks, and it won't improve measurably until the interior play improves.

We do.

Water is a privilege not affordable when waiting in line to exercise one's right to vote. There you go, Chef Jim Crow.

Hoax. You were told.

Actually I don’t really care. The funnier the better.

I’m too young to remember how much that show used to suck.

Earlier I recall you bemoaning the trampling of your tender feelings. Perhaps playing nicely with each other is a good plan to limit your emotional strain.
