How did this guy survive all the layoffs?

Also, while it's still very early in the game, there are not a lot of guys drafted after Shaq that stand out as better picks. Obviously Dak Prescott would have been nice, but nobody saw that coming. When you look at the guys that a team would have reasonably drafted at 19, the Shaq pick holds up pretty well so far.

(5-3) x 2 = 10-6

I would agree that he threw very well last night, but I don't think he played very well on the whole. Usually it's more the other way around, and usually the Bills win when it's that way. Also, he was not the only one, so it's still hardly on Taylor. Let's hope they all bounce back after a long break and we can forget about all this!

Yes, lets instate a lame college rule because someone from our favorite football team fumbled in a blowout loss. Come on, everyone loves the "he didn't know he wasn't down" play - it adds a little random excitement into the mix. It's also fun when the defender thinks the ball carrier is down, so he gives up on the play and the dude takes off. It makes the game more interesting now and then, and it doesn't happen often enough to be a problem. The Bills had their pants down in so many situations last night. Let's not change the rules to aid and abet poor play.

Did anyone else think the D was trying too hard to strip the ball instead of tackle the guy?

One would think they could flip the 6th rounder they just acquired in the Dareus trade for a decent backup RB.

Someone should start a thread about this.

I hope Marcel gets his head right one day. I really think he's a good dude who has been through more horrible stuff in his young life than most people experience in 80 years. On top of all the tragedy, he has the burden of living up to his talent, others' expectations, and Terry Pegula's money - money which I'm sure does little to ease his anxiety. I'm sure there are plenty of days he just doesn't want to get out of bed.

This is all getting a little ridiculous. They're 5-2, folks - the season isn't even halfway done yet. We have seen this movie so many times before - can we please see where they're at in 5 more weeks before we anoint everyone?

I saw that - I think if he doesn't get flagged, he's going to mess himself (or someone else) up badly. There was one play where he dove in late, head first with his entire spinal column just stacked up in a nice, neat line. Gave me the willies.

Can't stand watching games refereed by Hochuli. That guy wants to call a foul on every play.

Very flattering, and mostly true when talking about the fan base and geography. But the Pack has a legacy of greatness spanning decades, with multiple great eras, legendary QBs, and most of all championships. The Bills have been really good for about 20% of their history, and haven't won a title since the '60s, in a league that no longer exists.

I'm with you - why even bother for such a low pick? Better to just keep him in the rotation through this season. He's been disappointing, but he's still a better DT than anyone on the team not named Kyle Williams. I would rather have his services now and straight up cut him in the off-season, than lose him for a likely-meaningless draft pick.

Yes, because the team needs more guys who have been concussed to the point of vomiting.

If Trump bought the team.

I would say yes if the running game was on par with last year, but it's not.

Probably not a playoff team this year, but very close and certainly not as bad as many seem to think. They are a solid team that can win any given week, but they don't have the offensive firepower to actually win every week. That's about all there is to it.

Four pages and no mention yet of his high motor and lunchpail?

I love me some JT and I'm not afraid to admit it. Also love boobies.

I have always thought it is long past the time when the old guard needed to step away and let the Bills be their own team. Jimbo hanging around the sidelines kind of reminds me of the "cool kids" coming back to their old high school after their first year of college, to brag about their glory days and remind everybody of how much better it was way back when. On top of that, it's a totally new game now. A lot of what worked in the 90's in terms of both the playbook and the types of players who execute it, just doesn't apply anymore. Jimbo may have a lot to offer in terms of motivation and mentoring, but he can't be handing out pointers on strategy and player evaluations in a league that is so different from the one he played in. I agree with Jerry Hughes - it's time to make the sideline visits a once-every-year-or-so thing, unless he's legitimately on the payroll with a defined set of responsibilities. Otherwise, it's time to be respectful of the guys who wear the uniform today. They don't need the helicopter parenting.

It's the good old "We have to be better" assertion. When your team's coach is talking like this, you know you have a mediocre team.

It was awkward timing on Jones' break in relation to the flight path of the ball, leading to a big turn, an awfully long reach, and unlikely catch. Not sure if you hang that on Zay or Tyrod. I guess it could have been thrown a little shorter, but perhaps Jones didn't time his break right or take the correct angle toward the ball. We'll never know. What we do know is the Bills laid an egg on Sunday, and that's not one or two guys' fault.

Also, no major injuries.

Also loved the Matthews catch and run. I was surprised at how big that guys is, and he was running hard and fast - I like the cut of this guy's jib and could see him becoming a fan favorite.
