Paup 1995MVP

Bringing in Pittman from the Colts AND a high draft pick would be an excellent makeover of the WR group. Can we make the dollars work on that is the question?

And this seems to be a different Bills team as well. At least the last 6 games. Everyone playing with a lot more grit and toughness. We certainly did not dominate the Chargers Pats and Dolphins on the scoreboard. But we never panicked and made all the plays we needed in each game to win. Same with against the Steelers. Although I thought we dominated them as much as anyone in the streak other than the Cowgirls.

The refs blew that call bigtime. It was obvious that Spector completely possessed the ball in bounds. You could see that in live time. Not sure why the refs couldn't see it in live time or on review. The rule is pretty straightforward that if a player with any part of his body out of bounds touches the ball, its dead there. But that didn't happen in the Bills-Steelers game. It was a fumble by the Pittsburgh TE, recovered by Spector in bounds.

Super elite is probably overstating his ability at this point in time. But he still can be a force for us going forward. He should have at least one more real good year in him in 2024. And after that its anybody's guess how much is left in the tank.

I agree with everything you said about Harbaugh, except letting Sharone Moore be our head coach. Don't want him running the show. Very conservative on offense. Not a good play caller. And he was crying after we beat Penn State. Emotion is good. But bawling on the field after beating a rival, is a little weird in my book. I would be happy with Jesse Minter taking over as head coach. (His defensive scheme is top notch.) And bringing in a new OC with a little more innovation.

Michigan alumni here. Harbaugh has created a great culture w the program. Players love playing for Harbaugh, for the program, for the school, for each other. Not many enter the portal like a lot of other programs. We play hard nosed physical football in both sides of the football. It’s like 1990 all over again. But it worked. I hope he is back. But if he leaves, our DC Jesse Minter should get the job. He is tremendous. We have a real tough schedule next year. And our QB is going pro. We play Texas Washington Oregon USC and Ohio State. That maybe tougher than the AFC West. Lol

We have one more win then the Steelers this year. They are a tough physical team. And so are we. Playoff games should never be easy. Look at the Bills-Colts game from 3 years ago. Came down to the end. If Josh plays well we should win. But we have only beaten the Chiefs, Chargers, Pats and Dolphins by 3, 2, 6 and 7 pts. And all 4 games were in doubt in the 4th quarter. Only the Cowboys' game was a blowout. But we are battle tested. So we should prevail.

Their defense is not physical. It’s that simple. They did not want to tackle anyone on KC last night. Defense is a mindset. They don’t have it. We do.

Diggs is not dominant now. Whether he is next year remains to be seen. WR is a young man's position now. He can be a good possession receiver for us the rest of the year, and hopefully next year as well. We need to scheme the offense through Shakir and Kincaid and make good use of our RB's not named Latavious Murray. Hopefully Diggs makes some solid plays when his number is called. And the same for Davis. But this is not the same Diggs of his first 3 and a half years playing for us. The coaches need to know that. And scheme accordingly. I would also play Shorter this week, and sit Sherfield. Guy looks like he has no idea what route he is supposed to run. How we play this Sunday and hopefully in the playoffs on offense should be a big determining factor on whether Brady returns or not. Coaching is obviously important. But you can only do so much with the talent on the roster.

His accuracy has been off the past 2 games. He hasn't been terrible. But certainly not spot on with his ball placement-not even close. Our receivers do not get much separation if any at times. But he still has missed some throws that he should make. If we are going on a run at least to the AFCCG he needs to be better regardless of the pieces around him. He is the straw that stirs the drink-if you remember that saying from Reggie Jackson w the 1970's New York Yankees I believe.

Well said. I like our chances if Josh plays well. Which he should-but needs to find his accuracy again. Our defense was flying around today. Bernard Douglas and Oliver were awesome. I think our D has played really hard this year. They will beat up Tua. Should be a great game.

Murray should not play another snap for us. We got about 6 or 7 solid games out of him early on in the season. And that's it. He is done. Had a very good career. But there comes a time. Roll w Cook Johnson and Fournette, and we are very good at the RB position.

You said it perfectly. Shakir is the best we got right now. Its really shocking what has happened to Diggs' play. Lets hope our guys find a spark this week.

Our receivers as a group do not get any consistent separation. They also drop a lot of passes. Sherfield should not be on an NFL field. He is terrible. Kincaid and Shakir are our two best threats right now. Diggs and Davis did not do much today. And Knox was invisible. Josh wasn’t great by any stretch. But the entire receiving corps needs a major overhaul in the offseason.

That’s the best you got? The original poster makes a good point. Our 1st round pick isn’t getting the ball thrown to him and is not a big part of the offense. That’s a legitimate question and concern. Doesn’t mean he hates the team.

What are you his mother or father? Its a figure of speech big boy. Von has had a good career. But I never loved his game. More of a Demarcus Ware and Chris Doleman fan to be honest as far as where Von's ranks historically with the best DE's. But that's one man's opinion. But what is fact is that Von Miller should not be out on the football field right now. Maybe next year he will be closer to what he used to be. But right now he needs to try and get well. Any other player on the team who was playing w that little effort and effect would not be playing for long.

Von stinks and Phillips can’t play more than 3 games w/o getting hurt. In the playoffs we will be better w AJ and Poona both playing. God I hate Von. I think Bruce Smith w a week of practice could still outplay him right now.

The Dolphins are not beating the Ravens in Baltimore. Winning the division in Miami will be the high point of the regular season. And that momentum will take us to the Super Bowl.

Who was better in goal in their prime then Hasek and Brodeur?

Exactly. QB’s used to be just bludgeoned. Guys came in high and low, and could hit you in the head w impughnity. And the QB’s never whined. They just staggered off the field. Remember Billy Kilmer and Sonny Jurgenson. They looked drunk the way they moved around on the field. Qb’s have it easy now. Easton Stick would have been seriously maimed in the old days. The way the Bills treated Dak Prescott is as rough as it gets for QB’s in the modern NFL. Not a lot of mean gratuitous violence. But Josh would have been a baller in any era. Mahomes would have been cheap shotted whenever possible for all his whining. Was hoping someone on the Raiders would absolutely drill him late on the sideline today. Lol

Great point on the refereeing. On the Charger TD. Poona Ford was blatantly held as Stick ran around the right side. The calls were very one sided. Just like in London against the Jags. And in Philly against the Eagles. But we won on a nice drive at the end of the game. And the defense played well w a lot of injuries. We don’t really have a #1 WR anymore because Diggs can not consistently beat DB’s down the field. He can still play. But not dominate. And Kincaid has been put into mothballs. But this is a resilient tough team regardless. And will be a tough out the rest of the season. Especially if the O line plays at a high level. The original poster needs to get a grip.

When Epenesa is ready to play, Von needs to sit. He played way too many plays tonite. And was useless.

I think the Chiefs would prefer to play another team then us as well.

Bills defense played well. They gave up one TD on the road. The TO's were bad. (Harty brings nothing to the team and is wasting a roster spot.) And the penalties on Brown and Morse were like a 4th TO. That being said, we still made some big plays and were the better team. Diggs has become a possession receiver who can't get by guys deep so much anymore. He seems beat up, and weary. But ran some good routes in crunch time to make some important catches. Need more from Kincaid down the field. But Its Christmas weekend. And we had to fly across country and play on a short week coming off two very big emotional wins. Lets enjoy the win. And now we control our destiny to the playoffs. I like our chances going forward regardless of how close this game was.

That's a very fair point. I think Kincaid has not been utilized the right way for most of the year. He has wheels and can get down the field. And we have not thrown much to him vertically. He has not been nearly the impact guy he was at Utah. And compared to Sam LaPorta he has not matched up. I like his game. But I think an offseason in the weight room will help him be a more physical player that is needed as a TE in the NFL.
