Says the guy who thinks Zach Moss deserves more carries after 3 years. 🙄 Let's take it one week at a time like the coaches preach and pump the brakes. 3 of our wins have come from defenses ranked in the bottom five. Our first real test is this upcoming week against KC.

That's your opinion. The reality is 3 of the defenses we've won against rank in the bottom 5. The toughest we will have faced will be against KC. What's your score prediction btw?

We haven't even played a top 15 defense yet, we will against KC. The closest was the Dolphins. I still think we're good, just think we should pump the brakes on running the table talk after KC. You should use more range in your context.

You sound sad that I pointed out we beat a team with a 29th ranked defense without their best defensive player? It sounds like you are sad. Don't be sad.

Yeah and none of their receivers have scored a TD this season, so what's your point, again context matters.

The Steelers also might be the worst team in the NFL this year, so I'd pump the brakes.

It's amusing how fickle some fans are and how disappointed they always get when they're reminded this is the NFL. We just whooped a team that ranked 29th in defense. Allen is still our leading rusher, we still face several good teams after the bye week, and injuries won't just magically stop. Let's not put the cart before the horse, context matters.

I wore my Josh Allen jersey during the game for the first time. It was a hard decision, was trying to decide between my Bills hoodie I wore during the Rams and Titans game or my other Bills hoodie during the Baltimore game. But I felt I needed a blue color to align with the team, so went with the jersey.

Or slips when he gets a huge hole. But hey, I'm not a coach. 😂

You need a pat on the back random TBD poster? Here's you a pat on the back. Clearly his ankle isn't bothering him anymore.

More reason to trade for Barkley 😈

No it was at Tre White's baby mama's baby shower.

Gabe is one of my favorite players and I had high hopes for him this year, but he should sit this Steelers game. Teams will catch on if he's a decoy, he was hobbling on the ankle during the Miami game and it's clearly still bothering him. I'd rather him heal up more and possibly be ready for KC. Otherwise it's just going to linger all season.

I think if we were to trade for Barkley, this week and maybe next week would be the weeks to make a move. I think this week would be great because we could potentially use him for the KC game. Schoen and Daboll weren't really in Barkley's canoe when asked about a potential trade of Barkley earlier in the year. I wonder how much of that has changed these first 4 weeks of the season. But can you imagine trading for him this week and having him for the KC game? 🍻

By comparison, if you chose a lesser, similar amount of carries from Singletary to Moss, Singletary's numbers are much better too. In the end, it's clear a decent amount of people still believe in Moss. But I think his role and skillset don't make sense. To me it seems like he filled that role because it's all we had, not really earned. His last performance is more consistent with his career production. If you gave him the same amount of carries that game as Singletary, he still gets less than 2/3rd's of what Singletary got. Besides a 30 yard run over 3 years, I haven't seen any real potential in him or any staple run that he's earned the role of our between the tackles RB. The difference is Singletary shows more with less than Moss does, to me at least. I haven't said to cut him yet, but I do think the fact he's making more this season than Gilliam (who I believe could be that role), Gabe Davis, and Shaq Lawson, it does make me consider that, but I just don't think it makes us stronger unless we're making a FA move with the new cap space. And $1.2 million isn't a ton in cap space. So to me it sort of is an "it is what it is" type thing for now.

3 carries for 6 yards, one 5 yard run. Great job. We should totally use him more often. 🙄

We should give Zach Moss more carries, he's averaging 6 ypc.

Like I said, let's revisit at the end of the year and see if his YPC holds up. I'm betting it won't based on three years worth of pattern observations. But you're right, I'm not a football coach.

Clearly you're a guy who doesn't look at nuances or details. Oh wow, 6 yards per carry even though more than half of them came on one carry, lol... let's revisit this thread at the end of the season and see if he keeps that up. Looking at his pattern of play, I definitely don't believe he will. At this point, he's taking carries away from our two best playmakers at the RB position.

Injury excuses as benefit of the doubt are genuinely stupid, but hey, with that logic why not go ahead and give him a 4 year extension. Maybe after he's given 1,000 opportunities he'll finally show some contributions. When you look at his career total, he's regressed in this offense every year and he doesn't offer anything that we don't already have. Singletary runs better between the tackles than he does. But you're right, I'm not a football coach, lol.

Great so we're still waiting after 3 years for his potential to develop and ignoring the fact he regressed from 4.3 ypc to 3.6 last year. If you take away his 43 yard run yesterday, he's been averaging less than 3 ypc this year. But I get your point, Peterman was a hall of famer in practice too.

I'm not blaming Moss for the loss, but I am confused after 3 years why he continues to get opportunities and not make the most of them. I totally understand a lot of people here get excited that a 3rd year change of pace RB finally had a run more than 30 yards, but I don't when I consider all of our skill positions. His 3 other carries yesterday resulted in 1 yard each. My point is he doesn't add any real contributions or talent to this offense.

You seem to take this personally. I acknowledged I'm not a coach. That doesn't mean I don't have any football IQ dude. The guy hasn't been a playmaker so if you are a coach and all you have is practice performance as an excuse why he's on the field, that's called ignorance. He doesn't really offer much as a change of pace back. He's basically the same size as Singletary. Even in his limited role he's turned the ball over a lot. Maybe you can enlighten us about his practices Mr. Snide?

I'm just highlighting the pattern over 3 years worth of games where he hasn't been a playmaker for us. But you are right I am not at practices. 🙄

I've seen every play of him as a Bill, he's our worst offensive playmaker and yet yesterday we kept feeding him the ball. One drive early in the game was all Moss. How and why is that even possible?
