I like our chances with JA17 regardless. The supporting cast is definitely better though. I love Cook. The guy is #2 in the NFL in rushing right now, but is only #11 in rushing attempts. His YPC is 2nd only to CMC for a team's featured RB as well. Murray and Johnson give us altogether the best stable of RB's we've had since we had both Marshawn and Fred in the backfield. Diggs is still Diggs. I like the step forward we have seen from Shakir this year. By next season he should truly by holding down that Slot position and doing some work. Outside of him, Gabe is still Gabe (inconsistent) and the rest of the WR's have been meh. Kincaid has the chance to be a REAL weapon in this offense. He gets open, he's usually sure handed, knows how to use his body for leverage, and is a good route runner at the position. Knox, if nothing more, is a high end #2 TE at this point (even though his salary says he should be more). The OL is better this year than last for sure. Dawkins is having probably his best season. McGovern is a definite upgrade over the " Pro Bowl" LG Saffold. Torrence is much better than Bates was last year. The weak link is still Spencer Brown. In the run game he is solid, but he gets abused as a pass blocker multiple times a game. The biggest differences overall in the offense is the use of Cook out of the backfield as a receiver (any of the backs really), adding a guy like Kincaid for Josh, and the switch to Joe Brady at OC. Brady is doing some really good things right now, especially in the run game. The more time he has to implement his route concepts like he used at LSU, the ones that helped make that LSU offense one of the highest powered of all time, that same offense that helped make Burrow, Edwards-Helaire, Jefferson, and Chase 1st Round picks, we'll see it open up even more. IMO, he is the biggest difference right now. I also think that Brady "gets" Josh and we'll see the relationship grow even more as time goes along.

I do like what I'm seeing out of this team as of late. I think we are absolutely dangerous right now, and especially if we get into the Playoffs. Our backs are against the wall. This team knows they have to basically win out to get in. Still, I remember our backs being against the wall before and losing to the Steelers 2nd and 3rd string to miss the Playoffs. Any given Sunday anything can happen. I hope we string together a beautiful 3 weeks of football, on top of what we've seen the last two, and then some. Just taking things one week at a time for now though.

Awwww, @Airseven , how we've missed you as of late.

That's because it doesn't fit the sports media 🤡 narrative. They only talk about things to knock him down. And even if they do try to disguise their intentions by mentioning a positive, it's usually followed by a "but" afterwards.

It's Lamar. The sports media bobbleheads drool on themselves over Lamar. But, his team is currently the #1 seed. They also have some huge matchups the next couple of weeks @ SF and then at home against Miami. If Lamar shines in two W's then he could be getting his second trophy. If the Bills were 11-3, and currently #1 in the AFC, Allen would be the clear frontrunner. It's just the nature of the beast.

Imo, McCaffrey is the MVP. He's easily going to have over 2,000 yards from scrimmage and he's already got 20 TD's. James Cook is #2 in rushing and he's 300 yards behind CMC. He would be having the same success with or without Purdy. Purdy would not be having the same success without McCaffrey.

McKenzie was good enough to carve out a little niche and get rich off of football. Still, in comparison to the rest of the guys in the NFL, he's nothing special. This might speed him up into the restaurant business full time now, even in the fall.

Shedeur is returning to Colorado. Gabriel transferred to Oregon. I think Ewers is going back to Texas. I think McCarthy returns to Michigan. I don't see this as a loaded class at all. I think it is an overhyped class if anything. Hartman screams backup. Maye doesn't impress me at all. I think Caleb Williams folds under pressure, but I still expect him to go #1 overall. Penix is solid, but his arm strength doesn't seem all that impressive to me. Is Jayden Daniels the next Lamar Jackson or the next Justin Fields? He could be a scary cover for opposing defenses. I like Bo Nix as a passer the most of the bunch. He's shown a ton of improvement over his 5 seasons. NE sitting at #2 right now is going to get one of them. Let's just hope they take the wrong one again.

Who cares? If the idiots want to keep hitting him when they could easily just avoid it, then flop away 17. Flop away.

Even the players on the Steelers were like holy crap and looked really concerned. Very fortunate that Pittman didn't end up paralyzed on that hit.

There are A LOT of Cowboys fans on my job. All of them last week were going out of their way to stop in my office and let me know the Cowboys were going to whoop up on the Bills. Trying to get me to bet $$$, which is not something I do anyway. All in all, they were quite an arrogant bunch. Haven't been able to find the first one today......anywhere. Then, yesterday, I visited a new church for the first time. Me being me, I'm wearing a Bills hoodie yesterday morning. One of the things the Pastor incorporated into his message yesterday was about how his trip to go see the Cowboys play Philly had to be cancelled due to unforeseen circumstances. Then, at the end of the service, the Pastor asks for any first time visitors to please stand up. He sees me and says, "hold on one second....," and goes for his glasses on the podium. I began moving my hands across the image and writing on the hoodie, with a big grin on my face, like I was modeling it for QVC or something. He also had mentioned something about loving people, despite our differences, during his message too. He proceeded to say something about the Cowboys and I said, "It's alright Pastor, I love you anyway." He said to the rest of the congregation, "He ain't even a member here, and look, he's already causing trouble. That's ok, the Cowboys are gonna give y'all what you deserve today." We all had a good laugh. Yeah, he probably doesn't want to see me next Sunday.

Cook is cooking today. We need to NOT go away from him in the 2nd half. Run the football, control the clock, shorten the game. Go Bills!!!

I'm sure the OP wants to you

I laugh, but I did the same thing the other day about to report BB will be fired at year's end. Sometimes I forget the search function, or don't scan well enough.

Or the NFL wants to milk every red cent it can out of the Cowboys cash cow.

Dang it. They couldn't just hold out one more week?

Hyde and Epenesa out https://www.nbcsports.com/nfl/profootballtalk/rumor-mill/news/a-j-epenesa-micah-hyde-ruled-out-for-bills

Updated for Sunday

A skewed article by Timmeh? Whaaaaaat?

Wrolstad being assigned to us for a game against Dallas, just as Hochuli was assigned to us in a game against Philadelphia, makes me not buy into this so much. I just want consistency at this point. If Leonard Floyd busts past the OT and his jersey is being pulled about 18" away from his body? Throw the flag. If Allen gets yanked down by his collar and his jersey almost torn in half? Throw the flag. If our receiver is getting mugged a full second before the ball gets there? Throw the flag. If a WR catches the ball, turns, takes two steps, and gets the ball punched out (a CLEAR catch and fumble) at least have the decency to review the play on the field. There should never, IN ANY GAME, be a disparity of 10-1 penalties in a single half of football, with a majority of those penalties negating a team's 1st downs or chunk plays in general. I'm hoping we don't see a situation like that against Dallas on Sunday. I hope they call it even and fair, but I'm not counting on it.

I don't see anything wrong with it at all. Hold onto the football and quit your whinging.

He's a hugger, especially in the showers
