I was looking forward to watching the talking heads talk up how well Buffalo's defense stymied one of the two hottest teams in the NFL in the Ravens. How the Ravens were dominating their opponents and ran into a buzz saw in the Buffalo Bills. Nope, it was all either about how the Ravens need to get more weapons for Lamar like the Bills did by getting Diggs for Allen or how Roman didn't call a good game or how Lamar needs to be better. 95% of the conversations are in terms of how Baltimore lost the game and very little of it was how Buffalo's defense caused the Ravens to play poorly. The Bills will just have to go out and win again this weekend.

I'm a day one believer of Beane, especially so after the Watkins trade and everything he did despite all the teeth gnashing from the peanut gallery after his year one moves. With that said, the Teller trade for me was one of the more disappointing moves (not in hindsight) but at that actual time. He was known in college to have that mean nasty streak and in training camp. He did struggle against the pass as you mentioned but my thoughts were that he had the potential to be a good guard in this league. Never did I think he'd be All Pro but I did believe he could be a good one. It's ok, I won't continue to belabor the point and second guess Beane because everything he does is methodically calculated which I love in decision makers but if I had to choose one move that I second guessed at the time it was trading away Teller. Kudos to Cleveland for targeting Teller in that trade.

So all the NFL talk is not about the Bills winning but of the Raven's shortcomings. Frustrating for fans but most likely added fuel for the Bills players. They thrive off of this.

McDermott is a conservative football coach - He is like Jauron Beane made a huge mistake trading away Dareus and Watkins Beane has no plan or is incapable of bringing in good WR's and weapons for Josh Allen

There you go again. It does give them extra motivation, the Bills relish making themselves out to be the underdogs, McDermott has said as much and Hughes just recently said the same thing. They watch the TV “expert” talking heads and they use that as additional motivation to face their opponents. Things aren’t nearly as linear as you believe them to be.

And Edmunds was still dealing with his shoulder issue.

I blocked this guy months ago. His PPP takes and posts were the worst on that side and that is saying something.

19 days is the NFL average. It depends on history of concussions and severity. https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.newswise.com/articles/return-to-play-after-a-concussion-is-19-days

It didn't look like there was a hit to the head, perhaps maybe now down on the ground. Not sure what happened there.

It's not a matter of running to run it's a matter of running efficiently enough to keep the defense honest enough to knock them off balance. Green Bay is a great example of that.

You can say that again!

The offense isn't played in a vacuum, it's played with an awareness of what is going on in the context of the entirety of the game. The way the Defense was playing, the offense did a fairly decent job of moving the chains and helping the field position game. We also missed two field goal kicks and the winds totally took away our deeper pass game which allowed Baltimore's vaunted DB's to sit on the underneath stuff. Considering the conditions they did what they needed to do to win

If his foot becomes a lingering issue then maybe it wouldn't be a bad idea to bring even more blitzes.

Watkins is inactive? That’s shocking.

I feel the same. I’m not sure that the Browns are the better matchup as their offensive line is dominant and they have the best RB tandem in the NFL. They also are very effective at the play action not to mention they have one of the best edge rushers in the league. I suppose I would rather play the Browns but I think they matchup pretty well against us.

I get what you are saying but there is no way to really practice deep passes in swirling and gusting winds. Once the ball is lofted high enough the wind is gonna take it where it takes it. If the winds are gusting better to not even try passes longer than 30 yards.

You’re like a robot. You don’t believe in intangibles, the process. No emotion

After all this you still are not a process truster. Maybe you should change your TBD name to PartTimeProcessTruster

Great job!

Yes. And Penfield should douse himself in it as well

Because this thread is about Sammy Watkins and I’m responding to it. If you don’t like it, don’t respond to me.

Garappolo is slightly better than a decent game day manager. He can win you some games and put up really nice numbers when the game plan is solid, but if he has to go off script and going up against a good defense then he can’t win it for you. If he had been our QB against the Colts this past weekend, no way in hell the Bills win.

Aside from being brittle he doesn’t have what it takes mentally to be the player his talent merits.

Josh Allen has by far the fastest measured throw out of any QB in the past 10 years. Lamar has one of the weakest ones.
