EmotionallyUnstable

If Cooks is healthy, he’s active for me.

Myles Garrett is still on the Browns? I thought we traded Epinessa and two first rounders for him? All jokes aside, a wild hypothetical: just imagining what it’d look like to not have Hairston this season and instead have Myles Garrett.

Cook is now up over 1400 yards averaging 5.2 YPC. He is just behind league leader Jonathan Taylor by 28 yards on 1 fewer carry. It’d be cook if he could overtake Taylor, which I could totally see happening given the recent developments with Indy and Rivers.

Up to 37 (25 passing, 12 rushing) following today’s Patriots game. 3 more to go with 3 games left.

Well it didn’t help Joey Bosa was taken for a ride about 4 years off the snap and Shaq was trying to diagnose with him in his lap. He over plays his hand and it’s cut up underneath and Milano is unable to get off the guard. At the end of the day, you need to limit that play on the back end. No reason that should go to the house.

I will be curious what your take aways from him will be. Off the top of my head, I can think of one missed tackle (whiffed on the back on a swing pass) and two instances where he was a step late to a gap to fill or for a tackle (one on a Maye scramble). The Bills issues in run defense was and continues to be not a single particular issue. It’s been a mix of so many things. Even today, both of those long TD runs should not have been anywhere near what they were (Bishop terrible angle, Hairston/Epinessa lose contain). They’re working through a ton of stuff up front, dealing with the likes of Jordan Phillips and Larry O too often getting handled. I think Bernard caught a lot of that heat becauze as the C and leader of the team who plays a position historically thought of as “thumping”…ppl are clinging to him being smaller and less explosive and pinning a lot of the defensive struggles on him. Some definitely are. He hasn’t been great. He’s also made his fair share of plays too. When Shaq came in and was laying the wood and made some solid plays, people love it because it gives you the sense that they’re more stout. Yet today they surrendered 177 yards on the ground in the first half and no one seems to be pissed about Shaq in the first half. It wasn’t all on him, but some of it was. They should be held to the same standard.

This has been true but not today. Players have ups and downs, and today was a tough one for him in the first half (as it was for most). No it’s not a certainty. Bernard wears the C and just got a sizable extension and raise. Both the front office and the coaching staff obviously believe in him. I would be very surprised if they chose to not play him. Their run defense was still awful today, and Bernard is a more athletic and capable in coverage, which it is not secret they value. As far as moving Bernard to Will, I think this is an offseason move you could potentially see if they found the right guy. The more likely shift is having Shaq play the strong side LB in place of Williams when they’re fully healthy at the position. This is correlation, not causation.

Shaq had a very rough go in the first half. The Pats exploited his speed and he was unable to overcome some of the positions he was put in today. I think he still has a role here but they’ll be going back to TB when he’s healthy no doubt

Shout out to Prater who again was 5 for 5 on PATs despite having me nervous

Loved the rock the baby TD celly in honor of the newborn, despite me disliking their name selection of the child. Congrats to him. IF he is back next season, it will almost certainly be on a reworked or restructured deal. if they’re willing they can restructure beyond that. 9 million in base salary and 2.5 in option bonus all could be spread out to lower his cap hit. I just don’t know if they’ll hitch their wagon to him any longer or want to move on entirely

Good thing Matt Milano is nice at football because I’m pretty sure he’s zero fun at parties, if he were to even attend.

Ya I want to see it in the playoffs before we worry about next season for Bosa. He has all the physical tools, and he’s made some splash plays at big times. He’s also been mid and sometimes disappointing especially against the run despite always being physically dominant. He does not seem to have good instinct or awareness at times. Despite Beane and McDermotts years long crusade to bolster the defensive line, we somehow find ourselves playing a defensive tackle at DE…and next year it isn’t lining up to be any stronger with the only returning DE NOT coming off significant injury is Groot. Hoecht and Landon Jackson will both be off major ligament repairs, and Solomon isn’t trusted to even play the position he’s listed as. He’s even lost out on the NASCAR package. People laugh and roll their eyes when I say it but prepare yourselves for a round 1 DE in 2026. That all said…Bosa and Groot are going to be relied upon heavily come playoffs. I suspect when they make it there, it will be a 3 man rotation with Epi spelling the top two guys in a rotation.

I know he usually throws up before games, but did anyone ask about Allen spewing on the sideline today?

Gotta love the 2025 billls. Spotting teams 10-14 points before actually trying. SMH

Groot is a bum I thought
