There is a lot of talk that he may actually play along side of Oliver.

The deeper the throw, the less likely it is going to be caught. It's a lower percentage throw and that's true of all QBs, even Josh. Still, it is nice having a burner to keep defenses honest. I personally think the Bills are embracing the run game. This can also keep a defense honest because those successful runs help to open up the pass game. And I think folks may be overstating the need for a deep threat burner. We have TEs and RBs that can catch the ball too. I know the Bills struggled some last season but Brady didn't take long to find other ways to win. I'm looking forward to seeing what he can come up with after having a full season behind him. And MVP Josh seems to be embracing his leadership in the offense as well. Add in a defense that gets the ball back more often, we might just see the offense take another step forward instead of backwards. I know. It's not the theme on this board. Wouldn't be the first time I've been wrong. Don't think I am though....

Amari came and started immediately last year without the benefit of a training camp with Josh. I'm wondering if bringing him back is on Beane's radar. Could be. It's really odd to me that no one has taken a flyer on him thus far. He is older but he still seems to be in good shape and it was pretty obvious that he helped the offense out even though the production wasn't there. I wonder.

I was holding out hope for a DT, but this kid can really move the needle too.

I think Grant next to Oliver could do some damage. Understand the need for CB, but a defensive line that can put the fear of god into an offense....that's what I want. I also expect, the front office wants that too. The coach also thinks the DL needs to get better.

Nicely done! Now add video.

I think Beane might be considering moving one or both of those late 2nd round picks to earlier 2nd round picks. Stay put in the 1st round and then move up in the second. That seems more likely than moving up in the 1st to me. Most agree that teams don't have more than 20 1st round grades in this draft but there are plenty with second round grades. By the time the Bills pick at 30 most of those 1st round grades will all ready be gone. Basically, we can maximize talent by getting 3 highly rated second round guys, since our late 1st round guy is really going to be rated as a 2nd. Am I crazy thinking this way?

They gotta be thinking about going DT with that 1st pick.

I believe you are not allowed to fly if you are in concussion protocol. He got on the plane.

The score isn't going to be close enough for officiating to matter....

Bills 34 - 24

The last game, the Ravens ran some blitzes where they overloaded rushers from one side, usually, the right side and it was pretty effective. Josh is going to be prepared for that this time. I agree, the passing game is going to be opened up more. I expect there will be some passes on 1st down and 2nd down. They can't blitz every down. I also think our group of receivers will have the Ravens' defenders heads spinning. By the second half, they'll give up on the blitzes and send more people out into coverage, to no avail. Add in Josh's uncanny ability to go off in big games, I think the Ravens are in for a very rude awakening. i don't care that the Bills only scored 10pts the last game. That is not happening this time. Not even close.

The Bills don't have to change their scheme. All they really need to do is keep the running lanes closed up with the big boys and then send a speedy run blitzer from the edge to hit Lamar every play. If he is handing off to Henry, doesn't matter, Lamar still gets hit. If Lamar keeps it, all the better, he gets sacked. The run game can easily be stopped. Our defense was fooled by eye candy the last game. Don't expect the same result this time. They've got lots of tape on this Ravens attack and I think the defense is going to be prepared. Force Lamar to try something else like roll out to pass to avoid getting hit. I fully expect the Ravens to lean into the run game, though. If this is what they want to do, I honestly think that will play into Buffalo's hands. With that big offensive line of theirs, it's going to be dirty work for the Dlinemen. Perhaps we see a practice squad DT called up for this one.

This could be a big game for the RBs as receivers.

38-20 Bills Good defense, but can't stop this.
