Giants game is WILD

If this wasn’t a short week, McDaniel might be fired already

Can’t believe they kicked a FG…Aaron Glenn is just more of the same…

I don’t like Justin Fields’s chances at this point…

Did this defense quietly get better?
Yes, as soon as the opposing quarterback became Justin Fields instead of Lamar Jackson.

I know it’s easy to crap on the Bills offence but the Jets defence has always been their calling card. They have an elite d-line and a very good secondary.
Bills always have trouble withe Jets defence.
Pittsburgh had no problem with them last week

Oh look, another run straight up the middle for 2 yards on first down.
We only throw on obvious passing downs…Brady wants to make it as hard as possible for Josh Allen.

What? Allen was the best in the NFL on play action last year. I'm not sure what games you are watching, are you sure they are Bills games?
Yes, Allen is great at it, and the Bills use play action less than almost every other team in the league…League-low 13% last week.

The offense scored 41 points last week and was a top 5 offense last year. So, what's the problem? The offense works pretty darn well.
It should be better. That’s the problem.

The number of times I have begged and pleaded at my TV for a play-action in parts of games that were BEGGING for a play-action is too numerous to count.
Brady’s never going to change…we’re going to continue to see nothing but running plays on 2nd and short. It’s like he thinks Trent Edwards is his QB…

Rogers and the Steelers chewed NY up using the play action passing
That’s not part of Brady’s offense.

Davis needs to start running north and south again if he wants to get on the field. The few touches he had against the Ravens were ass. Had a bit of the happy feet like James had early in his career. He’s young he’ll learn.
He’s the same age as James Cook😀

I do not think the trade for Micah Parsons should automatically be defined as a failure if the Packers do not win a Super Bowl. Winning a championship is always the ultimate goal, but football is far more complex than star player equals Super Bowl or bust.
A great example is the Bills trading for Stefon Diggs. Buffalo did not win a Super Bowl in his four years there, but that move completely transformed the team. It elevated Josh Allen into an elite quarterback tier, gave Buffalo one of the best wide receivers in the league, and made them a legitimate contender every season. By almost every measure, that was a win of a trade, even without the Lombardi.
I would argue the same logic applies here. If Parsons helps elevate Green Bay from good to consistently being among the elite with deep playoff runs and multiple NFC Championship appearances, then that is a success. Where I agree with the criticism is that simply going one and done or consistently finishing 1-1 in the playoffs would not cut it. Consistent high level contention has to be the bar.
And we cannot ignore the reality of football. One injury to Jordan Love or other key players could derail a season regardless of how dominant Parsons plays. That does not erase the value of acquiring one of the very best defensive players in the league.
We have seen other examples of this across the NFL. When the Vikings traded for Jared Allen in 2008, he immediately turned their defense into a top unit and helped Minnesota become a true contender. They made playoff runs and reached the NFC Championship but never won a Super Bowl. Still, that trade is remembered as a huge success because Allen was a transformative player who made them elite. Another example is the Bears trading for Khalil Mack in 2018. Chicago did not win it all, but Mack turned their defense into one of the most feared in the league and made them an immediate contender. That move was viewed as a win because of how much it elevated the team, even without a ring.
The point is that acquiring a generational talent is about consistently giving yourself a real chance. Without Parsons, the Packers are a good team. With him, they are an elite team that everyone has to take seriously. And to me, that is worth it, because so many factors beyond Parsons will ultimately determine whether or not a Super Bowl is won.
Perhaps instead of a binary: win/loss it could be best viewed as F - A+ with an A+ being the Super Bowl win and B+ being elite and championship game appearance(s). There is just so many layers to success or not, although I want the Bills to winner a Super Bowl beyond anything else, I also greatly appreciate when they are elite and I appreciate the steps that make them elite and I consider them being elite and with a chance to win it all a level of success beyond fighting to make the playoffs if that.
That’s a good way to look at the trade…Love is a good QB, but not on the same level as the Big Four. Adding a player like Parsons elevates the Pack from a wildcard team to a Super Bowl contender that at least has a chance to win it all…

Paraphrasing.. Good QB, but isn't and won't be "the guy" cause he won't win it all.
But he probably thinks Lamar is “the guy”, amirite?

My position has been that you cannot declare a winner of this trade because we don't know the results.
Here's a related question... to all those who are wowed by Parsons' performance in his first two games:
Can Green Bay "win" this trade if they end up not winning a Super Bowl with Parsons?
No. It’s a Super Bowl or bust trade. They don’t have to win it this year, but I’d say it’s a three-year window.

Yeah I was going to edit my post to include that. John Fina said it as well. That may be the case but John Fina in particular was one of the greatest "wasn't my fault" players in Bills history so I'm not inclined to trust his opinions on assignments.
Fina just posted this on X/twitter. Says Walker did his job. Again, I’m skeptical. Looks to me like Walker just whiffed…

Correct - John Fina explained it well. Walkers responsibility is to put his leg out in Hamilton’s want and hit the outside guy with his arm. The TE next to Walker screwed up (probably the rookie). Hamilton is forced to jump over walkers leg (which he did) and Dawes simply had to hit him with his arm, a she’s off balance and this stops the outside rusher. Dawes didn’t do this and got a free run at the kick, fortunately prater hit the kick well getting up super fast and super high
You’re right, it was Fina, not Ostroski.

The kicking team was ready after the first timeout. They were all gathered along the sideline ready to go on. Didn't help Deone Walker much as he blew his blocking assignment on the kick.......but they were ready. I would think he won't be on that team next week after giving Hamilton a free run at that kick.
Jerry Ostroski said that giving Hamilton a free run was not Walker’s fault, but the guy inside him (can’t remember who it was). I’m skeptical…

Allen was on fire in this game. He looked like he was in complete control of the offense and on top of his game. The ball spot on his slide was absolutely terrible. There was also a terrible spot of a dump off throw to Shakir deep in Bills territory.
The second and third offensive series for the Bills was trash play calling. Just way too conservative and predictable. In games like these, need to have urgency on every possession.
The play calling on the second series, after Cook picked up 8 yards on first down, was criminally bad, and, unfortunately, too typical of Brady. The situation was begging for play-action, but twice in a row, Brady called inside runs, taking the ball out of the hands of Josh Allen, who had just torched the Ravens on the previous series. Against an explosive offense like the Ravens’, you just can’t afford a brain-dead possession like that one. Inexcusable.

It’s simple: Any QB rating system that does not rank Josh Allen first is not worth the paper it’s printed on…

It's his first ever game as a head coach and he just led an offense with a bottom tier QB to more points than his previous team scored in their week 1 matchup.
Are you giving Caleb credit for 7 points from the pick-6 thrown by McCarthy?
