Is that the only one he's reeled in all year? It feels like it. Let's hope that wrist is good to go.

To be fair, I don't know if there is a ton of choice in the matter and running it back might be the best of bad options. The Bills are currently ~$30 million over the expected cap for next year. While that in and of itself is not hard to get out of, I highly doubt they are going to be bidding on high priced free agents. With the Von Miller situation looming with a lot of uncertainty while his deal could be reworked, how much money do we want to backend on a player in the twilight of his career? Dawson Knox (while I enjoy the player) has not lived up to his contract so far but it can't even be looked at until 2025. Is Stephon Diggs really as unhappy as the media and his brother keep spouting, because if so he's not going to get locked in for longer to make cap room. I currently place 0% on probablility that Tre White is back and 100% speed Week 1 of 2024. That's a lot to saddle on a fresh young Head Coach, and I don't know any retreads that don't have the same or worse warts than McDermott? And if Joe Brady looks like the real thing, how do we cut bait on McDermott and keep him around?

For the most part I agree with the individual points. But 2024 is going to be rough. Our salary cap is stretched near breaking even if we pull every lever available. We are either going to be rolling with an unknown as HC and losing a promising OC, bringing back a troubled OC, or throwing a QB coach in over his head as HC. Our core is aging and while decent we have yet to see superstar play at DE. 2025...with Kincaid, Bernard, Cook, Torrance and Oliver pulling their weight I think we are going to get another pass of a young core in Josh's prime.

"The Bills Organization has been questioned about Miller's whereabouts, responding that the last known sighting was Thanksgiving Day 2022"

The worst part is that the Bills literally can't afford to cut him straightaway. The man has been a non-factor this year. It's time to move on.

I want to be upset at that, but damn that's funny

I mean if he is going to force himself into the field that's good for us. I've seen six month minimums cited for non contact sports. If he pushes it in less than 3 he is going to seriously injure himself and it's all his fault

With the money that gets thrown at #2 WRs the Bills just can't afford and should not attempt to bring him back

The comment I have heard from people who know more football than I do is this: That was an option route, meaning that it comes down to split second decision making from the QB and WR. However, part of Gabe Davis' job in that role is to realize that the Eagles are in Cover 0. They are coming in an all out blitz. Once he beats his man, he has to know that no one is ahead of him to clean up. Even if he and Josh aren't on the same page the moment that the ball is loose, if Davis turns and looks when he beats his man (as he is supposed to) with the touch Josh put on that he has the time to work back and make a play. You can argue the wisdom of trusting Davis in such a spot, but that is a big execution flaw when the coverage was so beat.

I know that we are rightfully Doom and Gloom today, but I want to give a tip of the cap to Joe Brady. He did a darned good job planning and calling for the game. 500 yards of offense, 4 TD with 2 field goals missed. Josh looks day and night better. While I want to see if DCs catch on in the rest of the season, so far this is the lone bright spot in my mind. That we hung around with Dorsey for so long with things not working is reason enough for me to say the McDermott era needs to wrap up, and it is paradoxical that keeping McDermott is our best chance at keeping Brady.

That's insane. They have too many concussions if they actually believe that. They even point out that intentional grounding was worse than the sack and fumble recovery. it makes no sense if you think about it for two seconds.

I love the optimism. And it's possible. KC is looking beatable. The Eagles, Chiefs, Cowboys was always "realistically two out of three". Brady has Josh on fire again. But there are still lingering issues even if we do and make a run

Look, it absolutely can get worse. But this one hurts.

Davis is a free agent. Let him go. He was a nice #4 piece who is exposed as a #2

I want to give Brady a legitimate shot. My only worry about making him HC is that's a ton to throw on the guy who was the QB coach 2 weeks ago. It's hard to gripe when the offense put up 500 yards, 34 points and Allen looks like his old self. If he can adapt through the end of year I would like to see what he can do with a full off-season to install. Right now that is literally the only the only justification I can think of to run it back next year

How good Brady has looked as a playcaller in the last two games is the only compelling reason I can think of to give this coaching staff another shot. The Eagles D is also pretty dang good and the Bills put up 31 in regulation in the pouring rain with the refs screwing them over. It's a severe indictment that it took this long to hand over duties from Dorsey

Who is ready to hand the team over to Joe Brady? Because I can't fault him too much But seriously, can we check those refs bank accounts?

Nooooooo defensive time out

No block in the back on that one

Did we run on every play that drive?

I think he's a good #3/4

Wait did the Bills get a turnover and use it to get 7 points on offense? Are we allowed to do that?

Honestly it's the opposite for me. The Eagles have a quick strike offense with Brown and Smith. Hurts isn't a noodle arm but he doesn't have a cannon like Josh This is probably a jinx but I want as much variance as possible

Harty for Lane Johnson. I'll happily take that of surprise inactives. I'm really hoping this is a game we can steal: chilly, drizzly weather, short week for the Eagles, a week spot on their right side O-line (no Goedurt or Johnson)

Personally disagree. Not just because I'm married to one. I muuuuuch prefer my contempt to Boston and NY fans
