40 plus MPH winds like the home NE game last season.

I was gonna say... If I am judging their complete games, Elam was better in coverage Monday night than Benford was and he tackled well too. Not sure why the convo needs to be "Is Benford better than Wallace". Elam is the guy thats going to progress more with his talent base. Its a wonderful bonus that Benford is a ready made zone player and a great find for us!

Lots of good coverage relevant to this discussion. Its funny the fiery debates that occur here when this validated source (validated by real NFL players joining the show at times and agreeing on their film review based assessments) paints the picture very clearly, time and time again. Yet folks still think they know better somehow, incredibly.

Jackson should be a go

Kupp gets into the cover 2 holes better than most. Elam didn't really look lost, he was playing the underneath zone coverage assigned. What he at times didn't do was recognize and close the gap quickly enough. It was potentially equally as much the fault of the over the top zone coverage man to come up sooner.

Happy Birthday Scott!

Ain't nobody (Titans included) running the ball on this team this season barring injuries or unless we are allowing the run passively.

Yes, and?

I would imagine the Bills are done trading with WAS based on what went down with JDM. Good thought otherwise.

Bernard lacks speed that’s for sure but is pretty dang instinctive ( as shown in back to back plays)

OJH played a complete game on Saturday. Looked good to very good as both a blocker and big receiver with box-out capabilities. He's the 2nd best TE on the Bills for sure if he stays healthy.

He may or may not be able to overcome the injuries and work out for this team BUT if what you said was true he would have been cut the next day. The teams e v a l at 20 times the level of joe fan. Big, long people look lumbering out there often times. Its an illusion.

Sal is part of the bills organization. So if it was him specifically, then sure it's possible I suppose.

Under this regime since 2017, the only advantage the sideline reporters have over fans is the amount of visual exposure to practice. Nothing else leaks. Sideline reporters have no additional information regarding how the Bills organization feels about the development of one of their players. Period.

Until we see any of these new young QB's eating up chunks of yardage in the passing game (like Burrow or Herbert for example), ain't none of them gonna be overly much of a problem.

Watching all of Willis's plays last night showed that he's got a terribly long way to go as a passer. Pocket presence was also not quite a good as I expected. He might be a "problem" in 3 or 4 years if he works hard.

The Patriots announcers are clinging hard to any historical success references they can make mention of. It's kind of sadly pathetic. I kinda like it.

Fair points... To me, Andre made his living over the middle and revolutionized the position where Wr's didn't dare to go prior too often. And in no way was Irvin stronger than Reed, or tougher. Irvin was very very good for sure and indeed faster! Emmit was great too. The Boys had the best O line in ball too. That helped. Of course the Bills line were no slouches either.

Thurman>>>Emmit but it was never really looked at that way across the league. Michael Irvin was also quite good of course but was always thought of as better than Andre Reed nationally which is also false in my opinion. Not being on a team winning the bowl hurts individual players reps way more than it should in what is the ultimate team sport.

Nothing could be more ideal for the real game. Would give opposing defensive coordinators nightmares!

For the slower thickheaded ones that start or linger on in threads just like this one for weeks on end (or more) trying to be uber critical or "real" in evaluating the Bills staff such as Beane , you're missing one very simple truth in the NFL. Having a top roster, GM , coach and staff will almost always get you a ticket to the dance (say, a deep playoff run) but it does not guarantee you a dance with the queen. That goes to just one team and to go with that great roster and staff, there are a hundred uncontrollable variables that affect who gets to do that on a year to year basis. (Cincinnati made the Super Bowl over BOTH BUF AND KC) With that said seeing a topic "Reviewing Beane" just brings me to a giggle when I think how far the entire Bills franchise has come under he and McD in so many ways. As a fan or evaluator of your team, what you want is a roster and staff that can get you there consistently. They get you there every time they are "supposed to" (barring QB season ending injury, etc.) and even a time or two when they weren't expected to. We have that. Don't forget to enjoy it for an unsure amount of remaining years while Allen is in the very good to elite range.

How did this thread go 9 pages? It's weather (ie wind and precipitation and cold). Period. Derrrrrr!

Those wango wings at Dino are seriously good! I like the dry rub ones too!

Who's the "exec" that is literally laughing/mocking the idea that players actually develop? Esp late 1st rounders and 2nd rounders. Dude needs to shut up and look within maybe :). This is why there are perpetually poor organizations (hell ,we were one for quite some time aye?) in a league that drives everyone to the median.
