I'm rather glad we paid a 4th to go get Kincaid. All depends on the player.

Agreed on the injuries, but I think we win large.

No one is saying that. You are a troll or a pathological Debbie Downer. The Bills right now are putting up extraordinary numbers. Folks are excited by how well the team is playing. Nearly everyone is aware how long the season is and that injuries are a huge factor in post-season success. But signs of exceptional excellence are not utterly insignificant, and well worth celebration.

Those of you who have significant experience flying back and forth to the UK, how much of an advantage is it for the Jags to already be in London for a week?

Emotional intelligence and empathy is a genuine concern. I hope you didn't torture small animals as a youth.

Below autism level awareness.

They cut Ateman, the WR, for Peaches and Herb.

I expect more than that from him, ultimately, but it's true that he is already making an impact in the role you articulate. Having a reliable slot that can move the chains is a significant upgrade from last year, as you implicitly note.

There is room to grow. That's good. I don't want to peak in week 4. I expect Kincaid's role will grow and expand naturally. It is unrealistic to expect a rookie to immediately have the instant impact of an established starter. Dorsey and Allen have a great thing going now. Let the Josh to Kincaid connection simmer. It's going to be smooth and dangerous, just have to be patient.

It would have been a big hole to climb out from to be 2 back of the Dolphins and a home loss. The stakes were huge for the Bills and they played about as well as you can play. It's just not correct to reduce it to "well, they held serve." And when they do play in Miami, it's not going to be the blazing heat advantage to the Dolphins that it would be early in the season.

I mean, like, really, what are the Lotto numbers?

Don't forget @Nextmanup who confidently predicted the team was set up for regression.

Still bitter about Josh Rosen.

Legit strong in the trenches on both sides of the ball. Health the wild card, but this team can win it all, no question.

I, like everyone who is a Bills' fan and most ordinary human beings, for that matter, feel exceedingly bad for Tre. It's a gut punch on what should be a day to simply celebrate. In other news, are you going to apologize for all the nasty things you said about Josh Allen, his preparation in the off-season, his Hollywood gf, etc.?

The trolls who are secretly/obviously Phin fans are the French. They are ready to surrender before the game starts.

If he can't figure out putting the uniform on, he'll never make it in the league.

In your previous life, you must have been a pinata.

I think you're over-estimating Jackson. Fella is a Commodore 64.

In the early 90's, he played the detective Maigret. Thought he was very good in that.

Well, I see that weakness in the run game is where he is anchoring his criticism. I'm sure a smaller LB will have some issues there. What I don't quite get is how Edmunds' loss could become the key to an argument at the position if being a liability in the run game is the criteria. I sure don't recall the fella focusing on it all summer in the endless posts about LB. Regardless, Edmunds' specialty is getting dragged for three or four yards before making a stop on a rb, so I don't see how that is a stellar floor that Bernard will struggle to match.

You spent all off-season developing the argument that Beane was reckless and incompetent for not planning ahead for the absence of Edmunds. They should have had a plan. So, naturally, you're going to find whatever holes in his game you can. There's not much chance you will acknowledge Bernard was in any manner an effective and reasonable plan. If it works out, it was sheer luck I guess. Miami is a challenge for anyone right now. I sorta like that we have a MLB with instincts to add to a suddenly very effective DL.

You better be careful or your pals won't let you back in the Pessimist's Club.

Here's a picture of their latest meeting. I think they are okay with it.
