At least they gave up on the Cook up the middle play....

The Bills should have travelled much sooner- Monday at the latest. If they were "ordered" to not leave until Friday they should have ignored it. One day to adjust to that time zone and that kind of travel? No way. Hindsight is 20-20.

In short, she's awesome and does an excellent job. Listening on One Bills Live with Tasker and she is knowledgable, super articulate in a classic DeeJay kind of way and passionate about sports and the Bill as Harry Cary used to say. The Bills are lucky to have her, hope she stays but probably won't. ESPN for sure.

The tropical storm is going to be dead center at game time. Heavy rain, 40mph gusts.

The Bears did not develop Fields very well in his previous two seasons. They hampered his development with conservative play calling shackles during the last two seasons. This might be justified since he only had 1-1/2 years of college start under his belt, which may beg the question why did they draft him in the first place. They definitely should have been in trial by fire mode last season and jut let him fly. As a result he is gun shy and scared at this point. He may not have been a franchise QB at this stage but it seems like it isn't all his fault.

Definitely happier after I figured out how to multi-screen using the Roku remote down arrow. Switching between games was not as quick as last week. I still prefer DTV though because- No switching between input modes between locally televised games and YT games. Really miss the NFL mix channel that had 8 games on one screen and all of the scores listed on one screen. There is no place to go on YT to get a list of every score of games played and in process.

The way the offense ran yesterday is exactly how I wanted the Bills offense to be for years. Dominate TOP playing a possession style move the chains offense and make the other QB sit on the bench. So efficient. I will personally be super happy if they can keep it up.

After taking a peak at upcoming games none of them look that difficult any longer. Anything can happen but it looks easier from this view at the moment.

The fact that the QB does not have to look at the ball to receive it under center allows him to keep his eyes on the field from the start of the play. I wish they would use it more.

I did watch, not saying that is how the Bills use the 12 but how it is mainly used. I think it can be used effectively on pass plays too.

12 personnel is mainly used for running plays. Some teams actually use 3 TEs.

Right you are.... they could have won ugly. https://www.nbcsports.com/nfl/profootballtalk/rumor-mill/news/nfl-fines-chazz-surratt-for-tripping-on-jets-game-winning-punt-return-touchdown

Not perfect but definitely reasons to be encouraged. Still early but it seems like the right move.

no other effin quarterback i would want on my bills. i do wish he would stop swearing.

i wondered the same thing during the game

is it wrong to like Maddy ? PS is it also wrong to like Lindsey Moppert of channel 2 sports wearing tank top and sweat pants during the news?

I say Josh is smart enough and has been around long enough to take on more responsibility- he should be allowed to make the offensive play calls. having to be leashed to an on the job training OC is holding him an the team back.

Josh should call the plays.

I thought play calling was disconnected at best.

yes

many teams struggled out of the gate this season. in all honesty i would rather have them lose their first one like this and improve as the season goes on (which they will). last season they came out of the gate beating the rams and titans and everyone was crowning them already.

Will he beat the Lion's rookie Sam LaPorta's specs ? YES ! 5 receptions, 39 yards 7.8 avg 14 Long TD 0

watched most of the game yesterday and TE was average at best. made a few solid open tackle run stops, nothing spectacular. one or two tackles for a loss. as for coverage, Pack TE luke musgrave caught 3 balls out of 4 targets. One strange note, not sure how the Bears and NFL let him wear those Bills red long sleeve but i thought it was a cool gesture!

Gets the job done but not perfect. 1. The two games shown locally over the air were blacked out on YT so i had to keep switching between YT and DirecTV, kind of a pain. 2. The game to game switching on YT was decently quick. 3. Sign in was a PITA, had to switch my phone browser to enable location tracking so it knew my viewing market and could validate my TVs Roku YT sign in. 4. I did not order Red Zone but thought I would at least get the multi screen option without it, no such luck. 5. The broadcast was fine, one or two minor glitches like a brief repeat loop. 6. Really miss the DirecTV NFL mix channel where you could see all the scores at a glance. 7. Overall still prefer DTV Sunday Ticket for the NFL mix and not having to switch sources to see the locally broadcast games.
