More proof that he should not be taking up value cap money and roster space. He certainly was not missed.

I hope you have a great time. And here’s to the Bills capping it off with a big win.

I would love to see him as an outside LB'er, but that would mean we need a true run-stopping Middle Linebacker, and a switch to a 4-3 scheme. I don't see either happening. But we did use a 3 LB'er set on several plays against the NE this past weekend.

Money talks.

That’s great news. I, for one, am tired of the Star bashing here at TBD. Whatever his reason, they’re his and his coaches to wrestle through. They are all smart adults who know when something personal is more important than one’s job. Trust them and their discernment and judgment.

But let's be honest, it may have been the worst easy pass of Josh's career. Kumerow was wide-open from the start of the play; yes, he dropped it, but it was a great effort to even make a play on a very poorly thrown ball. Reminds me several years ago when I was coaching. We're playing the #4 ranked (D3) softball team in the country and their all-american pitcher is throwing a no-hitter against us. Our #7 batter hits a shot to right center field, the center fielder make a great effort on the ball, dives for it, lays out straight and it hits her gove but she can't pull it in. I later found out the coach instructed the official score keeper (from the home team of course) to give the CF an error to keep the no-no in tack. It was a hit in any other situation. I was not happy. .... Good news, that same gal for us broke up the no-hitter two innings later 🙂

What a strange world we live in, several TBD posters defending Bill B.

Eli Ankou continues to get decent playing time. With Star's situation, he has been a good contributor this year and may be in line for a full call up soon.

"You are what your record says it is!"

I see what you did there. And, if we're reading this and taking the time to post something here, then of course it was the highlight of our weekend 🙂

My answer to the thread title: Ryan Bates!

TBD is suspended reality! 🤣

So Bengals vs. Browns in week 18 is the equivalent of the NCAA Basketball Play-in round games.

I do hope so. But the lesson of Jacksonville should linger for a long long, and longer, time.

Beasley is on his last days in Buffalo, even before yesterday. Signing McKenzie would make that even more probable. I think Beane and McDermott have tolerated him this year because they had to. Next year, they won't do that, especially when a competent replacement is already on the roster. As for Star. I'm withholding judgment. Let's see what this personal issue is. When he is not playing, he is missed. Even yesterday, the run defense was adequate but certainly not great. When he is 100% all-in, he makes a difference. And let's face it, almost every team is trying to find that behemoth athletic guy who can be the run stopper in the middle. Star may not be a star, but he is compelling--and I do not see any easy replacements like in Beasley's case.

They do have 7 wins. And they have two really good TEs, and a perennial All-Pro QB. This in not a gimmi game. They are capable. Think about it, they are only 2 back of the Bills in wins

Thanks Shaw! Always a pleasure reading your reviews. The game analysis is never over until you and Virgil make your unique contributions with your own unique styles. Thank you! And your point today is spot on: Josh Allen is a special talent and he played a phenomenal, as only Josh Allen can do, style game. Jaw dropping throws, great decision making, huge runs, flip passes, and inspiring leadership. When we needed him most, all his best qualities were on display today.

At least he's honest. Can't fault that. Way more honest than the National media types.

Yes, have your starters back sure helps. Hopefully this is just the beginning.

Which one of these is not like the others?

That is too bad. He has been playing well lately.

He looked ill, winded all day.

The threat of that guy on the Practice Squad.

That is a classic!

That's a great picture in every way it can be great.
