If we reach the Superbowl, we are winning it.

Hawes will get more opportunities to catch passes. He is reportedly good at blocking, which was Knox's advantage. But if Hawes has more reliable hands, Knox's days as a Bill are numbered.

I argue that he didnt really have that touch as a HC. He wanted to come across this nerdy football person and some sort of genius but I never bought into his whole stoned-nerd-who-knows-better-than-anyone else persona

It's not McDermott 's MO to pile on a score. He is happy calling off the dogs when we have a comfortable lead and confident the other QB isn't capable of mounting a miracle comeback. No matter how much better we are playing against the opponent , I am comfortable with 20 point wins.

They are until proven they aren't . They have started the season out fantastically. Packers are the only other NFC team to look this good but they need to prove it over the rest of this season. While i dislike the projection, I am on board with the philosophy of your thought

Of course I dont know how it is to be an NFL coach. But his record and they way they started this season makes him trend towards being incompetent at his position.

Yes, they havent invested in their OL as they should have but I agree with the latter part. Somehow I feel the injuries are also on him. There have been a few players who are injury prone for one reason or another.

(You all will love this thread on victory Monday) Seeing how we well we are playing now, that we get a couple of defensive players back in few weeks and assuming that the young 'uns on defense gel by mid-season, I am having a really tough time seeing a loss on our schedule. But we all know how difficult it is to go unbeaten. Also, I dont want to jinx it. So if we assume there will be at least one loss this season, which game has your vote? Dolphins - naah Saints - no QB, still re-building Patriots* - Maybe if Vrabel does his thing for playing tough in the trenches and this is his Superbowl Falcons - way too underpowered to slow us down Panthers - Naah Chiefs - they should have Rice back by this time so it is likely but I feel we are more balanced overall on Defense and can avoid the typical issues with their offense Dolphins - they will be thinking about next season at this time, so naah Buccaneers - a possible loss as they are a tough team and on a good day, can give us fits Texans - while good overall, it remains to be seen if CJ Stroud can recapture his rookie form. But I dont think they have the overall horses to stop us Steelers - Again, could be a tough game but Rodgers' arm would be hurting by this time Bengals - Maybe Burrow will be back by this time but he will be rusty and our Defense should be fully revved up by this time Patriots - see above Browns - good overall team but still looking for a QB. Eagles - first real possibility of a loss with how tough that team is. But if we have the #1 seed locked up, many of our starters will be resting Jets - rrriigght So, in summary, I think our first loss could be to the Patriots, Bucs or Eagles. What do y'all think?

"To win games you have to win the game and not lose the game" Umm what ??? This guy is now looking to be more of an incompetent coach than we thought before.

I commented on another thread that Burrow is trending towards Rob Johnson with better QB skills but similar availability issues. I think the Bengals must be very very worried right now to see his continuing issues. If this dude's problems continue to challenge the Bengals chances for the post season, what do they do going forward? They have sunk a lot of money on a few positions and may again have squat to show for it this season. Browning is decent as a backup , but he can't survive the rigors of playing good defenses who will gameplay against him.

I was on a golf trip this weekend and played Friday and Saturday. The guys (no Bills fans) were pressuring me to play on Sunday morning also. My choices were to play on a beautiful 65F morning in Wisconsin or drive back 2.5 hours to catch the Bills play the friggin Jests. I chose the former. You and @ColoradoBillsmay proceed to shame me now.

Unless we are again up four scores on them late in the third at which point McD will call off the dogs

Don't you think they should have some faith in Fields?

And the Jets have multiple more.

Rob Johnson reborn . Better as QB but same fragile body
