Can’t wait to see how that pass rush will be when Von is back.

Nice post, bro. For me, #2 was really what I noticed the most yesterday. Against the Jets with a 13-3 halftime lead, all we needed to do was give ‘em a nice dose of Ground Chuck (lite) with a couple of FGs and we win. Unfortunately, as much as I enjoy Cooks and look forward to seeing him continue to develop into a dynamic player, his style of running isn’t suited to the physical run out the clock, no-Josh Allen leaps for five yards 😉, he’s a guy who thrives on trying to juke or cutback to get to the edge or a gap and off to the race. He cannot pound the ball up the middle when other teams know it’s coming (or even if they don’t, it’s not his skillset). In sharp contrast, as much as I chuckled at the Latavius Murray signing, watching him play yesterday and get those tough yards everyone knew we were going for (and a TD later) made me appreciate his value. Same thing goes for Damien Harris, more power. Now Dorsey needs to build on that foundation and we have a team capable of grinding out games we’re ahead and need to eat clock or the other games where we need physical running to open up Cook or PA passing (and with this schedule we’ll need to be physical can’t rely on Josh’s cape as much as I love to see him in action—he’s playing Russian Roulette). Proof to us all that it’s a work in progress, patience grasshopper!!

When I think of Bills/Raiders, I’m too “young” at a mere 55 years old to go back to the AFL days like some of you are fortunate to be able to do. But, I can go back to the glorious ‘90-‘91 season AFC championship game and the 51-3 whooping we put on the “Autumn Wind is a Raider” legacy. The only realistic hope I have now is not to end the game with a sore throat from yelling at the TV and needing 2mg of Xanax to calm down. Go Bills!!

They’re scanning the field and going through their progressions. That’s an innate talent. As much as I love Josh, he just doesn’t seem to have that skillset. Sort of like how he’s not close to elite at “touch passes”—just has that fantastic cannon but that’s not the way to throw the majority of the routes/passes—great to squeeze a ball into tight spots but not great at all to lead a receiver open who has a step or two on the DB by giving them time to run open and ***** the pass.

Bass is my favorite player.

Not that I like to see players get injured but the only thing that might help us is if Rodgers is done. Once again, hate to say it but this game…

Always gotta let teams stick around and turn a should win into a might lose.

Next Duke Williams!!

It’s too bad I was excited when he fell to us in the draft. Hoped he had the potential to be a Warren Sapp/John Randle 3T. Just hasn’t come close to a top 10 pick. Wish he’d had a hulking Pat Williams or Ted Washington next to him at 1T when he arrived. Star not playing early on and not playing well when he did probably affected Oliver’s play. Regardless of playing out of position early on, it seems very clear that he’s not the guy McBeanr thought he was. He flashed later but he wasn’t nearly worthy of a 10th pick. Wish him the best.

Maybe he’ll trade up for version two of Cody Ford.

Too bad he never developed into the player we thought he’d be. I think the scheme didn’t fit his skill set and he seemed to lack the instinctual skills that separate the good players from the best.

Here’s a link to the lineage of our defensive coordinators. Read the little snippet about Frazier for a good laugh (or cry). FWIW it reminded me that I liked the Jim Schwartz year as our DC (2014): https://pro-football-history.com/franchpos/7/8/buffalo-bills-defensive-coordinator-history

Where have Knox and Gabe been? No the oline is f’ing up so Dorsey what’ll you do?

That banged up Cincy offensive line is so bad.

Knox?

Our strength is our franchise quarterback. Why not have an offensive minded coaching staff?

But Romo said Frazier deserves a HC job…

We should have traded Dorsey for McCaffrey. 😜

They better make sure Joe Mixon doesn’t get mad at any of their daughters/sisters (never forget the POS he is): https://www.sbnation.com/college-football/2016/2/23/11099472/joe-mixon-arrest-suspension-video-oklahoma I wonder when he’ll be their nomination for the Walter Payton Man of the Year Award? Haven’t heard about him breaking the bones in any 18 year old girls’ faces recently. Might be time especially after his tasteless attempt at the embarrassing attempt to flip that coin. Act like you’ve been there before… As for Bills fans, our character is epitomized by our devoted fandom through good times and bad times. And, the fact that we do things like donate $442,000 to Andy Dalton’s charity—actions speak louder than words (sure we appreciated the help to get back into the playoffs).

Josh Allen deserves a better offensive line than he has. And, I fear if we don’t ever get that settled, we’ll have squandered our franchise QB’s career. He shares and owns his errors which I respect. I hope they help him. And, PLEASE give him another weapon. Window won’t be open forever. I’d like to see one Lombardi Trophy before it closes. Anything more would be gravy.

I’ll talk positive takeaways for me (because I’m running low on my meds): Elam’s play today gives me hope; I actually noticed Edmunds in more positive ways than I can recall; Shakir flashed good and bad might be a keeper (though he hasn’t had many chances); We tackled players; and We get to play another game!!!!

Imagine if we had a Bosa brother 😥

And, sadly I’m sure he’ll prosper in a scheme that utilizes his skillset.

The NFL comes out of this looking totally callous, like a second rate organization (of hypocrites) and this moment should be acknowledged for what it was, a horrible black mark on their history. An organization with any sense of responsibility for their employees’ safety would treat them as human beings and shown leadership and earned respect by taking much more immediate action. This is evidenced by the fact that he is laying in a hospital bed in critical condition having to be intubated.
