McDermott used the whole "this is our biggest game of the season" spiel last week for the Jets game. I know the players know this is a super important game, but it worries me. Patriots know that their season is over if they lose to us this week. The weather is gonna be real crappy and we haven't played well in crappy, rainy and windy games under McD with this roster. We are the FAR superior team in terms of talent. But I need my fears assuaged, anyone help me out here? That's because every game is the biggest game of the season to them. They don't prepare any different. That's a good thing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hapless Bills Fan Posted October 29, 2020 Share Posted October 29, 2020 7 minutes ago, eball said: Ask 30 GMs (leaving out Buffalo and Cleveland) right now and 30 GMs select Josh Allen #1 overall. The off-the-chart measurables were never in doubt; they just didn't know if the accuracy "problems" were real or not. Combine that with what we know about his intelligence, work ethic, and leadership? Sorry, there is little question who GMs would take in a re-do. You could be right. On the other hand, Troy Aikman and Terry Bradshaw were still opining that "a 50% completion QB is all he'll ever be" after the KC game. I don't know how representative they are of opinion "inside the NFL" but they certainly do have some chops they know something about football. There seems to be a substantial amount of "Let a Man Get a Reputation as an Early Riser and he may Sleep Until Noon" in the football world as everywhere. At this point, the QB class of 2018 may be generally perceived as over-rated. I think that the viewpoint on Josh Allen is changing around the league, but I think it's changing from "high ceiling dark horse who may or may not make it" to "possible he may become good, capable QB". Please note that Belicheck usesThe "new shinies" are Murray, Herbert, and Burrow with Lawrence on the horizon. I'm not just not sure about that 30 GMs thing. But I think 30 NFL GMs seldom agree on anything, and much as I love Josh Allen and want him to be The Man, he's still maddeningly inconsistent.

NE knows if they lose they are done. In more recent news..... their QB's also threw 4 ints last weekend and they got blown out at home. They are a 2-4 team, can't score. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ndirish1978 Posted October 29, 2020 Share Posted October 29, 2020 Do we have any DTs aside from Oliver who actually ARE practicing?

No drops. no whiffs on blocking assignments. No movement on the line. Etc. There was a good article in the Athletic I read this morning detailing all of the individual errors our offense has had. Way too many indivdiual mistakes. I hope the O has addressed these. Kinda embarrassing really, when you see it in print. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And how would we be in a hole if we are in first. You are not making sense *edit, if you mean half because the jets are given (which, no game is ever given) those two games would still only bring them to 1 and a half dependent upon our results.

I swear we've seen players not practice until like Friday and get cleared to play after concussion protocol. I guess if he is out, it's better that the coaches are certain of it earlier in the week than later in the week so the backup can get more 1st team reps.

I don't think Buffalo Rumblings is correct on this point. We saw Hyde stretching and then later on a bike yesterday - that could be either stage 2 or stage 3. We see him on a bike today - that could be anywhere from stage 2 to stage 4 depending upon what he does today when the reporters leave. I think he could be limited on Friday and still be cleared. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
