It was half a retooling. The job of refashioning this roster for Allen 2.0 was a 2 offseason job. But so far so good

Also @Freddie's Dead - I think we should be at Taron Johnson automatic gameball status. He is the 2nd most impactful player on this football team, week in, week out.

I don't care about Basketball so all that is lost on me. They actually didn't hand TB the job in camp. He battled Tyrel Dodson for is and they were hoping one emerged. Bernard won a pretty uninspiring competition and started. It's fair to assume had it gone badly they'd have flipped to Dodson quickly. They didn't have to. Bernard earned the right to stay on the field. That's always how it works. As for Beane giving McDermott a warning... this shouldn't need repeating again but Beane is NOT McDermott's boss. He has zero power to warn McDermott of anything. They both report independently to Terry Pegula.

I don't think the Dline is helped by how they are playing behind them to try and protect the safeties - especially in the run game - but I think the pass rush from the front 4 has been really disappointing for the most part. AJ and Greg have flashes but not consistent enough. Ed Oliver had a great game in Seattle but otherwise is having his worst season since 2020. Daquan Jones has fallen off a cliff. Von has been suspended sure, but has struggled to make an impact. It's not been great. How many of them have as few elite talents as this Bills roster? I dunno. I just don't see the game changers beyond Allen and Taron Johnson.

When Bishop played he gave up two touchdowns. If that is the alternative it isn't really an option.

No, no, if they do I was wrong about this team. I have been of the view since the spring that this was obviously a reload and that they would win the division anyway but wouldn't go far in the post season. If they do, however it happens, I will gladly eat crow.

Dinosaur coach with dinosaur football

Hmm. Jack Sawyer as a top 30 player? I mean I haven't got stuck into this class but if Sawyer is a top 30 guy it's not a good class. I think Pearce is a bit of a projection, similar to Carter. Need to see more of the other guys.

Saleh is a good defensive coach. Agree it is surprising how bad they have fallen off but he was a big part of their defensive success IMO. On offense their QB doesn't give a damn. And that is always a problem. Arizona's losses are Buffalo, Detroit, Green Bay and Washington. No disgrace losing any of those and other than a stinker against the Commanders they have been jn the games. They are a good team.

Where are all the "Jets will make a run" guys? They suck

Doesn't matter. Pegula is committed to him. It will take actual failure not perceived failure for him to be fired.

No chance.

They got a little bit unlucky with Edwards, sure. But he is a backup level player anyway.

Bizarrely it is New England we are suddenly looking at to lose haha.

Agree with the bolded. Can we do it 3 Sundays in a row? EDIT: Said it at the time though - that week 1 win was a proper win. I think Arizona is good

That isn't true of me at all. I am just of the view this team still has some flaws and while they can beat anyone on their day to win 3 games in a row against top teams in the league in the divisional round, AFCCG and Superbowl... I dunno I feel like that is going to be tough. They are doing great so far. They are finding ways to get it done. I'm delighted. I just don't think this version of the Bills is as talented across the roster as previous verions. I agree. I give the Chiefs the benefit of the doubt because they have that championship pedigree. They know how to get it done.

Despite being down our two best receivers.

I would if they didn't have Championship pedigree.

I can't. He is physically outmatched every week and so he gets taken advantage of some. But in terms of knowing his responsibility and being in the right place I have a ton of respect for him. I don't think he is a starting talent. But that isn't his fault. It is Brandon Beane's that we are having to start him.

Yep. And Eli had an elite playoff run. Flacco in 2012 too. But it will take that and some bounces IMO

I've only got three this week: Mack Hollins Taron Johnson Taylor Rapp Not a game ball but I also thought Cam Lewis in his dime role had a very nice game.

Yep. It's a nice position to be in. I'm still not seeing a true Superbowl contending team here tbh. I think if we win a playoff game this year that is our reasonable ceiling. Of course Josh could play out of his mind in the playoffs and we get a bounce or two and who knows? But I don't think that is realistic tbh.

Surely playing the Bills in goalline you tell your outside defenders stay outside. Make Cook put his foot in the ground and go up the middle.

Of course the Chiefs win. Of course they do.

Perfect play for the Bills. A 3rd down and not a touchdown. As long as we don't turn it over this is done.
