    I don't mind Romo as others do.  Even the neutered version we have been seeing for 2 seasons

    He's always indulging in hyperbole when he has nothing to say. Every player and coach out there is one of the best in the business, the best to play the game, one of the best in the league. Praise praise praise. I'm not hearing much analysis.

    The bills 2025 draft looks great? What? Lol.

     

    Walker sure. Hawes looks like a good blocking tight end.

     

    Hairston we have no idea. 
     

    We haven't got much at all from the draft, outside of walker and Hawes

     

     

    Dorian Strong looked good, and Hancock showed something last game. Sanders had his moments before he was injured, Chase Lundt was worth keeping around. Even if Jackson is a bust, it could still could be a lights-out draft. They certainly need an infusion of youth and talent.

    The only way I can see it being remotely possibly is if we're literally the *only* team in the entire NFL offering a 1st for him. Any other team that offers a 1st will both be in another division or conference and also perceived to have a higher pick.

     

    It stinks that the Dolphins and Jets are both sellers with pieces we need, but are inside the Division and unlikely to assist a rival. Especially one that's Draft slot is looked at as one of the worst in the league.

    How about two number ones? Waddle would take the offense to another level, with every other offensive position set for the time being. On defense, if McDermott can't manage with that slew of draft picks the last two years, well, the offense will have to carry him.

    First, they are only young once.  Don't miss anything.  They'll be out of the house before you know it.

     

    Second, who is the scheduler here?  Clearly this party should have been during the early game 1-4pm window. However it's too late for that so,

     

    Third, Bills theme, game is on.  Have a good time.  Worst case stream it on your phone discreetly.

    Totally agree. Always choose your kids if you have a real choice.

    Coleman doesn’t win 1v1 battles. He’s won 4 of 12 contested catches. Puka wins like 80%, if my AI is correct.

    Right, we've seen that, but my point is that he's not getting the contested catches he thrives at: high jump balls. He's only getting balls he sucks at, like back-shoulder throws on the sideline comeback. He isn't good at boxing out, at least on those throws. I'm saying he might reliably catch only ONE kind of ball, but on those he might be unstoppable.

    No 1 seed?! We’re still doing that?

    Coleman can’t separate, run routes, or even show up on time. While I think Brady is average, the Coleman thing is on Beane.

    I don't think he needs to be fast, separate, or even run routes. He could be an amazing, unstoppable asset--a go-to guy--with nothing but jump balls. He's 6'3" with a 38" vertical and excellent timing. Who is going to stop that? Answer (to date): Brady, who insists on throwing him everything EXCEPT the jump ball. It's perverse, like him benching Cook in crunch time. The one time I remember a really high ball might have been a throwaway in the endzone (forgot which game), and Coleman, who had no chance to land inbounds, went up and caught. THAT'S how you use Coleman, Brady. 

     

    If the Bills give up on Coleman, he very might become a star on a team with a coordinator with enough brains to use him properly.

    Huge game- no matter how the Bills try and downplay it.

     

    its a must win game, and a statement game.  
     

    Bills already lost to NE at home.  Defend our turf!  

     

    Bills D shows up huge today imo.  Hoecht and Deone give me hope!

     

     Bills O and Joe Brady make me nervous.  We need Josh to play like it’s the 4th quarter against the Ravens.  We need to run Cook down all game.  Let’s see lots of play action,  12 and 13 personal, and pass out of 12 and 13 personal.  Joe- that’s how you get your average at best WRs to make plays- because they are not going to win against man to man. No simple minded generic game plans Joe.  Step up and scheme WRs open like it’s your job, which it is.

     

    GO BILLS!

    Brady and Coleman both have to earn their pay today. In my view, Coleman's poor showing is mostly on Brady, who hasn't done anything with this offense, at least the passing. We're all down on the WRs, but Brady has the best QB in the league to work with, along with Cook and Kincaid, which ain't nothing. Have we seen any innovations, any creativity? Imagine what Shanahan or Reid would do with this offense. 

     

    If Brady is going to show he's more than a chump, today is the day. I'm hoping the light will go on and he'll install plays for the personnel he actually has, including Coleman. Putting aside the Jets game (for obvious reasons), the offense hasn't played well all year, not for more than bursts here and there. That may be on Allen to a degree, but I put most of the blame on Brady. Let's see if today he finally shows why he should continue as coordinator.

    On a more serious note, while today is absolutely not the end of the season I think a loss today is likely a severe blow to our #1 seed hopes from earlier. The Colts keep winning as do the Patriots, Broncos and Chargers 

    The loss to Atlanta was a shame, since it was winnable, but no big deal in the big picture. The loss to NE was both a shame and a big deal. So winnable and so important.

    I don't know that at this stage in his career Keon is able to succeed playing as a dedicated X against a good D, if that is what they intend. In terms of physical attributes, including a slow 40, I think of him like A. Boldin, who did line up outside. But Boldin came to the NFL as a more polished product after a successful career at FSU and was known to be a good route runner. Keon is raw as talents go,

    Agree. He's more of a basketball player playing football. That can work, but it limits him, or at least his particular skill set is limited, I would say to jump balls. He can climb the ladder and bring it down like no one else. But he hasn't seen many balls like that. Instead, Allen (or Brady via Allen) feeds him a steady diet of outside-shoulder throws on comeback routes, or has him turn and sit down in the zone, hoping he'll break a tackle and go. He excels at neither. In fact, he is particularly bad at both. For some reason, he doesn't or can't box out in the first case and, in the second case, he catches with his body. 

     

    In short, he might be a receiver who is extraordinary at one thing and pedestrian at best at everything else. You can't ask him to separate, run a wide range of routes, or even make routine catches with much consistency or YAC. But he can sky for the ball, maybe like no one in the league. If we can see this, why can't Brady?

     

    Of course, if we can see Cook is the only weapon on offense besides Allen, why can't Brady? Are we seeing a pattern?
