Yes. An intregal part of that brief, albeit magical period in September 2008 where it looked like the Bills might not suck for a change.

During the drought, there were so many project and reclamation DLs that always got my hopes up.
 

Stroud.
 

How about a Marcus Jones? He was a stud for TB, but then got here and had microfracture knee surgery (which at the time was a death sentence, but now is like nothing).
 

Then there Chidi Anhatou, who commuted from Toronto!

We have to attack and create turnovers.

so with Mills starting instead of Stroud how does that change the Bills game plan for Thursday? I

 

If at all or any. Thoughts?

My thought is that they should sellout to stop the run. Play like you did against the Panthers. The Texans aren’t a great running team but that should still be the focus IMO.

I'm expecting a painful day when the Bills D gets shredded by a back up QB and Josh has to outscore whatever they give up. Sweep the leg!

man, Stroud missing so much time is concerning

McD used to eat rookie and backup QBs for breakfast. Like clockwork. Then, something changed and there’s no QB you can automatically write off. 

Exactly. Each week this year is like a box of chocolates lol

You want the worse player. Mills is the worse player. Dalton is worse than Bryce Young. Next week Rudolph is worse than Rodgers. Flacco is worse than Burrow. 

Just sell out to stop the run. It’s not rocket science. If you get beat by Davis Mills, you deserve to lose. 

I think the Bills defense under McD demonstrated several years ago in the wind game against NE that they strive to make offenses one dimensional... as long as that dimension isn't running the ball. The more things change...

I think they’re gonna play a lot of 4-3 since Dorian had a big game last week and Thompson seems like he’ll be back.  Dorian has been a bit of a rollercoaster so we were probably a bit hesitant to have both Milano and Williams out there the way Milano has been playing but the Bucs kind of forced our hand and it went well when we did it 

 

can probably give benford safety help on Nico and I think things will be pretty tough on mills

Not so fast, not so fast.

 

CJ was incredible his rookie year but has regressed in each of the last two.  He is NOT a good QB this year.

 

Now as far Davis Mills, one would THINK he is inferior but he had a heroic comeback in Q4 versus the Jaguars (team that crushed the Chargers Sunday) and had a solid game versus the lowly titans, 2-0,  for the season versus CJ 3-5.

This reminds me of the legend of Mike White.

A Davis Mills game?

I remember that playoff game against the Dolphins a few years ago when Tua didn't play. Some scrub named Skylar Thompson did and he put up some decent numbers against the Bills defense in the Bills 34-31 win. Watch Mills do the same this week.

 

18 of 45 for 220 with 1 TD and 2 INTs and 4 sacks and a 44.7 rating.

 

It was all the Bills turnovers that had that game close.

 

Get your facts correct.

The reality is, if it was anyone OTHER than Skylar Thompson they probably would have won.

Reality in this world is in the eye of the beholder.

Allen had 2 INTs, 3 fumbles and 7 sacks.  That WAS the headline of the game.
