  1. I don't know where you have heard that from. It isn't true. Yep. Salt and malt vinegar. But not on "fries" as in thin cut. On thick cut chips.
  2. I agree in the sense that I think giving the Bills a "home" game when they are so significantly disadvantaged by the aclimatisation is a bit ridiculous. The Jags should have played the Bills first and then had their "home" game the 2nd week. But stadiums are the issue. Wembley is Jacksonville's nominated home ground and was available last weekend but not next (because we are about to enter an international break) and Spurs window is this next two weeks when Spurs are away followed by a blank weekend for internationals. That may cause people to rant about the concept of the international games in the first place but they have been incredibly successful for the NFL and they are not going anywhere. This is the first time the Bills have had to give up a home game since the series started, so they haven't been too harshly treated.
  3. Passer rating is imperfect. It is still better than QBR.
  4. And on offensive holding I think it is a conscious decision. Think they have been asked / told to back off on calling it.
  5. Adoree Jackson is mainly a nickel. He isn't a very good boundary guy.
  6. I think they believe Jonathan would be snatched up. That is why they didn't dare cut him. I think they really like his potential. I think what they will likely just go with what they have, it won't mean any fewer guys up on game day. If they need to bring someone up agree Ingram makes sense but I think they'd only elevate him for a game if they need him.
  7. They had two runs blown up in the backfield which has been a real rareity this year. That cost him a combined 4 yards. He had a 1 yard touchdown run that brought the average down too. His other 9 rushes were for 32 yards. 3.6 per pop. Perfectly respectable day. The Bills just went more committee at running back yesterday. All 3 backs had 30 yards.
  8. I know but the jetlag is real. Take it from someone who lives this side of the pond and has done that journey plenty.
  9. I thought they came Tuesday (they have in previous years) but turns out not. They only travelled Thursday and arrived Friday. Josh Allen.
  10. The Jags have already been here a week. That's what you think. I'm expecting a call up for Sunday. Taking my cleats to the stadium just in case.
  11. Letting Waddle go would be a mistake IMO. I think Wilkins is the one you let walk if it comes to it.
  12. Okay they won by more than two scores in Denver..... but otherwise this prediction held up pretty well
  13. It's hard to do that from the box. I put that more on Joe Brady.
  14. What is interesting about Josh through 4 weeks is he has been better at home rather than on the road. I feel like to this point in his Bills career it has often been the other way around. He was flawless yesterday. I am glad he got a perfect passer rating because I thought his decision making was perfect yesterday. He played Quarterback literally perfectly.
  15. I'm not sure Ridley is a "true" #1. He more like a 1B / very high end #2 in my mind. I think a true #1 remains a need on that team.
  16. I don't think one equalises the other. I also think the Bills can get it done. But I think this will be a tough game.
  17. I don't think he is done coaching. I think he will be back as a defensive coordinator in 2024. But not in Buffalo. Agree part of the reason the Bills held onto his rights is if he DOES get a HC job they wouldn't want to miss on the pick. I expect they will hold onto those rights until the 2024 HC hiring cycle runs its course and then grant permission for Leslie to interview for DC roles. I expect a first time HC who is a relatively young and inexperienced guy from the offensive side to hire Leslie as his DC. I wonder even if Ken Dorsey would consider him should he get a HC gig?
  18. That is laughable. We actually played more zone as the game went on to my eye at least.
  19. I got 9/15 this week and two I changed my mind on yesterday BOTH went against me. I originally had the Buccs and the Texans and flipped them both. Grrr.
  20. Hope so. But having done the US to UK flight a fair few times in my life the jetlag is a killer. I'm sure the Bills have a plan but I'd rather be in Jacksonville's position of having been here for 2 weeks. I do think the Bills should win but I expect an ugly, scrappy kind of game. It is our hardest game until Philly IMO.
  21. Yea he was okay weeks 1 and 2 but he was exceptional last week and having a monster game yesterday. So gutted for him.
  22. This is his 11th year. He has played more than 14 games ONCE and has played fewer than 12 (i.e. missed at least a quarter of the season) FIVE times. If he had stayed healthy he might be in the Tyron Smith, Trent Williams conversation as top left tackle of the past decade. But he isn't because he is simply always hurt. Romo is horrible. Why they stopped him tipping plays I have no idea. Because it was literally the one thing he brought beyond high pitched squealing. He is like the drunk guy at the bar who just talks incessantly and makes 8 "smart guy" predictions in the first Quarter and when one of the 8 hits in the 4th is giving it the "seeee I tooooolllddddd you" yea mate... most of what you said was nonsense. I think the book is kind of already out. He loves throwing to the middle of the field and he is elite when his first read is there because he gets it out so fast and is very accurate. Once you can take away that first read he will give you chances with the ball or he will hold it and give you chances to rush him. It's easier said than done. But the Bills did it brilliantly after that first drive.
  23. 1. Mahomes was hit as he threw which affected the throw that is why it wasn't grounding. There was no receiver in the immediate area but that area wasn't where he was trying to throw. 2. Yea the officials have backed off offensive line holding this year across the league compared to the last two seasons IMO. The play where Ed Oliver got dinged yesterday he was CLEARLY held and we got away with one on the drive that ended up with Diggs' 3rd touchdown as well where looked like Dion had a pretty good hold on a defender. That is holding, but they have just not been calling it as much league wide. 3. That was a B.S. call.
