If we're looking for silver linings, all I can say is that for both Milano and Jones, it's very likely that their injuries will not affect their performance over the long term. For both tibial plateau and pectoral tear injuries, there doesn't appear to be any long-term impact on performance and both should be able to return to their pre-injury form. That is something that I really worried about. In case you haven't seen the excellent articles by Banged Up Bills that cover both injuries, here they are: Examining Buffalo Bills Matt Milano’s Right Knee Injury Analyzing Buffalo Bills DaQuan Jones’s Pectoral Injury

Okay, I'll bite: who's #2, and when should we expect to see them go down in a pile with a ruptured spleen?

I get the sense that it's the latter. I do believe (perhaps moreso than others) that Dorsey knows what he's doing with play design. The execution is what seems to be getting in the way. Perhaps that's a reflection of how complicated the offensive design is, I don't know. But there are times when some of the newer guys don't seem to know where they're supposed to be. It may also be a reflection of why it took Harty so long to get on the field as anything other than a gadget player.

We did, it was just unfortunately Milano's leg. 🥵

Sure, but that's his choice.

This seems suspiciously like a Maddy Glab TBD burner account…

Always. What a lot of people don’t remember is that, in the AFCC game right before the Super Bowl (the 51-3 game), Norwood actually tried and missed a 47-yard FG…wide right. EDIT: Correction, it was a 45-yard FG, but it was almost exactly the same amount wide right as the infamous kick.

Maybe, but Aaron Roger’s doesn’t have to run like a track star to keep up with the fastest men in the NFL.

I don't know, but the higher number on the Y-axis (target %) is at the bottom, which would suggest the lower on that axis you are, the more you're targeted. So JC Jackson is targeted a lot and allows more separation...?

Anyone catch that the Flutie TD happened with 0:13 seconds left? Kickoff down to the 5, stopped at the 30, 6 seconds left, game over. 🥵

Is it just me or does this video actually end right before the final drive starts? WTH?

I'd rather he not play. If I'm Jacksonville and I see Miller come into the game, I'm attacking him right away. He's not in game shape and would more likely be a liability out there, even for a few snaps.

My voice is still hoarse from Sunday.

Not many posts make me literally LOL, but this one did.

Sure, it would be awesome if Kincaid were ripping it up this early in the season and his career. The way I see it, our coaches are taking the long view. Just like OCs design strategies and run plays early in a game in order to set things up for later in the game, they also design strategies to develop players (and schemes) over the entire season. We have a complex, complicated offense that takes players a while to integrate. For rookies, even more so. Seems to me that Dorsey is introducing new concepts into the offense with two TEs, giving Kincaid bits and pieces to start with and building his confidence slowly over several games. Even now, Kincaid has occasional struggles with what he is assigned, so it’s a slow process. I sense the goal is to reach the second half/last quarter of the season with Kincaid gradually doing more and more and really opening things up for the offense in ways that other teams will not have seen and won’t have on film. And next year…

I haven't been to a ton of games over the years, but I am proud to say that I was there for both of Knox's Angry Runs. Holy crap did both of them juice the crowd.

There but for the grace of God....

Next time I’m there!

I agree with others, that was a great and entertaining write up!

I'm not overly confident in him just yet. He seemed late on a few plays yesterday, and there were times pre-snap when I was watching Hyde trying to communicate with him because of what appeared to be confusion. Let's see after a few games if teams pick up on his weaknesses on film and start attacking them specifically.

I was at the game yesterday, and my voice is barely functional today. I don't recall screaming and yelling more at any game in my life. A couple times I was yelling so hard I started getting dizzy. It was LOUD. There were Dolphins fans there, but nothing like you'd see with some other teams like the Steelers. I don't recall hearing them much at all during the game, even in the first quarter. In the 4th quarter, up 28, I wanted to keep yelling to stick it to them but could barely do it from being so tired out. Fun stuff.

Man, was he fun to watch.

Game-time weather looking to be perfect. 73 degrees and sunny at kickoff with negligible winds.

FYI, and FWIW, Cook is currently #3 in the NFL for rushing yards.
