I had to come around on 17 for Allen. I like it now, but I wanted him in 9. - I still don't like Edmunds in 49. 

 

I feel like because he's a white dude with white wristbands (at least I think he had white wristbands, but that may be my imagination) there's a level of awesomeness and uniqueness that makes 61 acceptable there. 


It took me a minute to come around on Edmunds' number.

Ultimately, it came down to two things. One, Edmunds is halfway between a LB and a DB anyway, so a number in the 40s actually sort of makes sense. Two, if Edmunds turns out to be a great player, he can sort of "own" 49 as a jersey number. For me, when a player is sufficiently great, he's the first person I think of when I hear a certain jersey number. 80 is Rice. 83 is Reed. 7 is Elway, 4 is Favre, and so on. Edmunds could be the greatest 49 to ever play. 

As for best numbers by position, I'm in agreement on all but the following. We're probably going to have to settle this with a duel. Contrary opinions are not allowed.

 

QB: 12

 

FB: 40 

 

TE: 89

 

CB: 24 (did you really say 31, you wreckless lunatic?!?!)

 

S: 31, 39

Interesting that the two routes were deep passes to Diggs.  Jet's played two deep safety and a lot of zone against the Bills, taking away the deeper passes but got ripped up with the short stuff.  My guess is that Miami will play more man and if protection holds up will net some attempts from Josh to the wide outs for deeper passes.

I actively root for WR's that wear numbers in the 80's and assume they will be great players. I loved Amari Cooper with the raiders, then he went to Dallas and went from #89 to #19 and you can forget it. (also, he has cowboy stench, so)

 

 

 

Numbers matter. Anyone who tells you otherwise is lying to you. 

 

Calvin Johnson wore #81, Zay Jones wore #11. 

 

I rest my case. 

I’ll be sure to let Diggs, Brown and Beasley and Davis that you aren’t actively rooting for them! Poor guys. Wait you hate mckenzie too  :(

He's like if a DB ate a linebacker and all his family... 

 

I do understand the "he can make it great" argument, and that brings me consolation now. I just fundamentally disagree with LBers in the 40's.

 

QB: I grew up post Kelly in the era where 12 was Brady, so no. That won't do. 

 

FB: I can probably come around on this. Gilliam looked so dang good in 41 though. 😪

 

TE: Flip a coin, that was my second choice after 86.

 

CB: 24 should definitely be on my list, my bad. 31 is a good one if you're gonna be in the 30's. What other 30 would you put a CB in? 

 

S: I refuse to have a safety in 39.

It's not my fault they've made horrible career choices.

That blue on white is one of my favorite combos. 

 

 

 

 

Somehow this will fix his fumbling problems... 

 

I remember Tiki Barber had fumbling problems early in his career and Tom Coughlin corrected it by having him hold the football a certain way. Maybe the Bills RB coach could help here. We don't want Allen running all that much but when he does then he should at least learn how to protect the football. The Bills could have built on the 21-0 lead over the Jets if this were the case. I don't want his fumbling to cost us games down the road.

It's so great to see more and more and more the intangibles Diggs brings.  He just seems to be someone who constantly demands excellence for himself and those around him, and will work on it - and them - until it is reached.  All the talk about the energy he brings too.  Championship caliber.  Couldn't be more psyched to have him on the team.

Here are some O/U game props on DraftKings:

 

1st half points: 10.5

Final Bills points: 23.5

Bills TDs: 2.5.

 

Would you take the over on all three?

Every time we play Miami a bunch of people get all scared.  We have lost to Miami one time in the last 3 years.  Yes, I believe their coaching is better.  Yes, Fitz can get hot or cold.  Yes, the game might even get close.  Nope, I don't fear losing.

 

In fact we have pounded them points-wise. 37, 31, 42, 17,  22, 24. 5-1 since 2017.

injuries piling up already. 

 

this will be the norm this season. Teams with quality depth will win, those who don't will suffer 

I'm grateful we have Beane.  I think he has built quality depth throughout the line-up. Losing guys like Milano & Edmunds a few years back would have been hard to overcome, but Dodson & Klein (hope I'm spelling them right - didn't know they really existed before Sunday) came in and both played well, imo.

 

That's something the Bills did really poorly during the drought.  Usually during that time, when the starter went down, the next man up was a textbook JAG.

I’d take the over on all 3. I think they score at minimum 28 on Sunday.

Same here. There's an upside to all this Allen disrespect. It keeps betting lines low. I cashed in nicely on the Jets game. 3.5 Diggs receptions, 1.5 Allen TD passes, 220 Allen passing yards. No brainiers.

Their secondary vs our wide receivers is super interesting to me. Stefon Diggs and John Brown vs Byron Jones and Xavien Howard is an interesting matchup.
