I’ve occasionally had this thought: If given the choice right now, who would you rather have, Diggs or Justin Jefferson? I would choose Jefferson.

There have been plays where he catches the ball and starts to go down as if he’s expecting a hit and no defender is there yet. Last season he was so good after the catch. Even the broadcast team commented about him ducking on one play

Almost every TV in game analysis of the Bills O-Line brings up communication. While many of you have continuously roasted the guards, and with good reason, I keep saying Morse is also a weak link. The center, with help from the QB, is supposed to call out the blocking assignments at the line. If they’re continuing to have communication issues, Morse is a big part of the problem. Also, maybe the O-Line collectively is just dumb. Teams have been running these stunts all season, opponents see it on film and these guys still keep screwing it up. Darryl Williams seems to be a key culprit as several times I’ve seen him by himself looking for someone to block while 2 defenders have steamrolled one of his line mates and are in Josh’s grill. Furthermore, if the O-Line coaches aren’t getting thru to these guys, they’re another problem and maybe the players need a new voice. With basically the same personnel as last season, I don’t understand how these guys regressed this much. I’ve said before, there were numerous times last season when Josh had an unbelievable amount of time in the pocket, for which I played the plays back and he had 7 to 9 seconds. This season we frequently see Josh take his drop and there’s already somebody there he has to evade.

Gout?

I was looking at mock drafts on walter football and they had the Bills taking a LB (Harris- Alabama) with their 2nd round pick and the accompanying verbage said “Edmunds may be on his way out this offseason “

It cracks me up when he’s barking trying to get defenders to jump and they don’t. Then he looks around like he doesn’t know what to do and they call a timeout. I don’t know what it was about EJ Manuel but he was good at it.

You mean that defense that had 10 guys crowding the line of scrimmage and only Hyde back when Harris blew past the line?

Anybody else watch the NBC TV show Chicago PD? There’s an actor playing a Fed who could be McDermott’s twin.

Yeah, he traded up to get guys like Ford. He also thought Singletary was so great because of film he saw on him. I believe Dawkins can still be an above average LT. Dealing with COVID is difficult for many. He may still not be close to 100%. It would be interesting to find out how they really ranked the QBs in 2017. Did they really get who they wanted at the time? They may have actually lucked into Josh developing into arguably the best of those 5 first-rounders. Believe it or not, they may also need to again look for WRs, Beasley will be 33 in April, with 1 year left on his contract. Might he be a cap casualty? Sanders is on a 1 year deal and has been disappointing. That leaves Diggs and Davis plus McKenzie, who’s in the doghouse and not really a starting WR.

Of course. Why not? We’ve only seen him in the meaningless last game of last season and the preseason but he runs hard and was productive. Sometimes it seems, though, that Derrick Henry might not get many yards behind this O-line.

Glad you brought up the 2nd half choice. So, after winning the coin toss, the Bills deferred the choice and New England took the ball. The Bills then had the field choice and took the wind for the first Qtr. Unfortunately, they only took advantage of it to score after the fluke punt play with the ball hitting the returners face mask. Then, for the 2nd half, the Bills took the ball, so New England got choice of the field and took the wind for the 4th Qtr. Again, the Bills were unable to take great advantage of the wind, scoring only a FG, while the Pats ate up a chunk of the clock with their running game. If it were me, I’d have set it up to get the wind in the 4th Qtr, in case you were behind and needed to pass. I guess another factor was that the weather forecast called for possible snow squalls late so the Bills may have decided it was better to try and have scoring opportunities earlier in the 2nd half. In hindsight, the snow squalls never materialized and the Bills were left trying to score in the 4th Qtr having to throw and kick into the wind and they were unable to.

Here’s a positive: that may have been the best game Harrison Phillips has played.

So, you’re saying if he made the one he missed, he would’ve made one at the end into the wind?

Unfortunately, Brady will see the Bills helmets and his face will light up like a child on Christmas morning.

I always looked forward to Cosell doing the highlights. His delivery was poetic. ”Oakland Alameda County stadium. The Raiders. The Chargers. The Irreverent One, Kenny Stabler…”

I agree. Be aggressive on defense. Jones is still a rookie. Get in his face and force him to get rid of the ball early. Blitz Taron Johnson off the slot.

Don’t forget about Knox attendance at TE University. Watching how guys like Kelce and Kittle play close up could only have helped. I guess the coaches gave Andre Roberts the freedom to run it out of the end zone. There were times last season where he ran them out and didn’t get to the 20.

You don’t want me attending a Bills’ Super Bowl. I’ve gone to about a dozen Bills games over the years here on the West Coast and didn’t see a win until they beat the Rams in 2016. Then I had to go back and see them play the Chargers in the “Peterman game” in 2017. I also went down south for Super Bowl 27 and even though I didn’t get in, they got destroyed by Dallas. I refuse to pay the current Super Bowl ticket prices anyways.

How about Cleveland Sunday night? They have to take a timeout because they have 12 men on defense. Then, when both teams are at the line of scrimmage, they get a penalty for 12 men again. The ref was even smiling when he announced the penalty.

I think attending theTE Academy really helped

Since the D-line rotates so much, he’d have more if he got more snaps

There were more there

A team like the Niners has such a good OL that everybody they put in the backfield, including Deebo Samuel is effective.

There were several plays where the Bills got enough pressure that Wentz had to throw it early. You don’t have to get sacks to be effective.

I miss the days of coaches like Mike Ditka. You think he’d “respect those guys decision”? It would be “get vaccinated or get the hell outta here.” Bill Parcells would probably refer to those players as “she”
