Good post felt it was warranted for a shout out

I agree with you. I mean I don't think the St. Brown TD should have had that reaction as we literally tipped the football and had 3 men around the football. If anything it was a great concentration catch and a great play by the Lions more than a Bills mistake. My big issue is the soft zone to burn time is they still allowed way too much chunk plays. The goal is to give up 7-8 yards a play not 12-15.

Yea, I noticed on one run play where he was meeting a RB head on that he kind of turned to lessen the blow on his on arm

I think he has been everything they asked Gabe Davis to be but better. He doesn't make the spectacular wow catch like Davis did from time to time but Hollins doesn't drop passes, he is one hell of a blocker, he's apparently a great teammate, plays ST's all for a nice tidy 2.6 million dollar tag. Ideally he is a WR # 4 on a good football team but this board did him really dirty after that Texans game.

The good news for us is that the AFC, with maybe the exception of the Ravens and the Bengals(who aren't going to make the playoffs) are the only two team's in the AFC that has the offensive firepower that the Lions and the Rams have in terms of capability. I mean the Chiefs are struggling on O, I don't think anyone fears Pittsburgh's offense. The Chargers are limited with weapons, the Broncos are employing a rookie QB, and the Texans struggle when you get them away from home. I'm not saying we're going to walk through the playoffs by any means but when it comes to dynamic offenses in the AFC there are very few that can match the Bills or even come close.

Their not going to sit their starters for two weeks before the playoffs. Limited reps, playing a half I can see but flat out sitting Allen and Company for two weeks I can't see even if they have it locked up.

Honestly, Milanos injury might be a blessing to get Dorian back in the lineup since he’s been the better player. Need Milano healthy tho cause the drop off after Williams to Spectoris astronomical They still have to lock up the 2 seed that is still not guaranteed

If the Texans can somehow get by the Chiefs with an injured Mahomes, it becomes a really strong possibility that they could end up in the 3 seed instead of the North Champion

Combined, the outside guys got a total of 4 balls thrown to them. Hollins caught the one for a 7 yarder, Coleman caught the bomb then had the jump ball in the middle of the field that fell incomplete and Cooper wasn't targeted at all so without seeing an All-22 I'm guessing the Lions were bracketing outside WR's or the Bills believed they could toast the Lions over the middle.

He's better down towards the line of scrimmage right now. He almost got toasted on that Williams deep ball that was also a penalty thats where his weakness is at and unfortunately that is where the Bills need him to become successful unless their going to shift their scheme.

Ed has been invisible quite a bit this year but his two best games have been against KC and Detroit so I guess I'll give him that.

Yea I mean I know its not major but it makes me roll my eyes a little bit that he had to get carted off the field and he's a young guy who had to of known he was going to start this week so he should have been hydrating himself.

It was probably a Williams is hurt enough and we have a big enough lead so lets have Spector finish it type thing until they realized that Spector was getting absolutely abused on anything underneath and we're like okay Dorian gonna need you to go back in type thing.

Cole is much better suited at playing close to the line of scrimmage then he is being in a high safety look. He's actually similar to Elam in that the things he did in College didn't entirely fit the things that the Bills do defensively. I think he's smart enough to get it and become a solid safety but to be honest I'm more starting to get worried about Bishop's durability. He hurt the shoulder, he went out of the game today no matter how minor today and there was a little bit of chatter that he didn't come to camp in the best shape he could have if I recall.

I'd argue the top 5 QB and the top 5 TE but yea he has a lot of talent. Thats how these guys end up getting NFL jobs. We'll see if he can replicate it at his next stop. Thats why I think all things considered he would prefer the Bengals job if they invest in him and his staff there.

I'll bank on he plays next week or at most misses one game.

We played a desperate team at home that has a lot of offensive firepower in the Rams. Was disappointed for sure last week because we were healthy but Stafford was on his game and they played their asses off and still had to hold off Allen. This week we literally didn't have 7 guys who were starting of big time contributors against the # 1 offense in the NFL entering the week. People have to remember that the NFL has been trending towards college football style for a long time and thus when you have a great QB scores are going to be higher. Both teams, the Bills and the Lions, were trotting out guys who were on their PS or who have been 2nd or 3rd deep on the depth chart in today's game. If we get gashed next week against Maye and the Patriots next week then I think we have a serious problem on our hands

It wont be easy, especially if Mahomes is out for a week or two but i will hold my breathe to see if he actually misses anytime. Steelers have to get Pickens back as their anemic with him but their beyond without him.

Its that shot he took on the long bomb to Coleman. He was smiling and trying to play it off but he was definitely feeling it after that hit. If it was that play like I think we're looking at chest or ribs maybe

I only want the # 1 seed if it means that Baltimore wins the AFC North

I liked the bounce back, lets get healthy on defense because yuck with some of those guys in there. Hyde will be playing before you know it. Big win if anything it gives us some separation for the # 2 seed with 3 weaker opponents to end the year. Might allow us to get some rest in week 18 if we take care of business the next two weeks and you never know with Mahomes ankle. Wont count on it though getting the 1 seed.

I don't entirely agree, he had a lot of help offensively today. He is not running around with his head cut off like he used to putting his body on the line. The Run game, Allen included, was very proficient. The defense was missing Rapp, Hamlin, then Bishop, Douglas, Milano & Williams against arguably the best offense or 2nd best offense in the NFL today. Yes they gave up some points but they also made a lot of stops early to give us that separation.

Imagine scoring 42 points and losing oh wait we did that last week.

I think we all know that this is going to be a first down after McDermott called TO lol

Come on Rookie. I think Solomon needs more rung as a pass rusher. Could be a difference maker when it comes to rushing the passer
