  1. There is no way Knox plays here on his 2026 number. He takes a pay cut, or is cut, or signs an extension for a lower AAV than his previous deal. Depends a bit I think on where Kincaid is after this year as to what the Bills preference is. If they pick up Kincaid's option I think less likely Knox stays long term. If they don't I can see them wanting Knox under contract at least through 2027. Hawes is a good player and an excellent blocker in particular but it does make me laugh a bit that in the drought when we didn't have much at tight end most fans here HATED the very concept of a blocking tight end that was keeping whoever their favourite pet project was off the roster / field. Logan Thomas or Jason Croom or Chris Manhertz. Now when the top of that room is strong a blocking tight end is loved. Lee Smith was a really solid Bill in both spells who was undervalued by fans.
  2. The last time the Network had a word with Tony Romo it turned a refreshing, honest, detailed new color guy and turned him into a shreiking, cliche ridden, opinionless identikit broadcaster who wouldn't sound out of place on Fox's D crew.
  3. No OC that has had Josh Allen ran him at a higher clip than Dorsey that is a fact. The low margin of error comes from the lack of elite talent around Josh not from the scheme. The scheme actually does a pretty good job of maximisng the talent. I also think there is a bit of wanting it both ways from the critics. They want the offense to be less Josh centric to give him some help and when the OC designs an offense that means Josh needs the cape less frequently, save for against the very best opponents they go "low margin for error!" This OC's record speaks for itself and while of course any OC with Josh Allen should be able to have this success the predecessor was going whole halves without scoring before getting fired.
  4. I am not kicking him to the curb either. I think he can still play. He just isn't quite the top 3 pure nickel in the league he was at his peak.
  5. He has banged up and missed games last year and the Bills always try and run more base against Baltimore. That explains #2. He isn't quite the force now though that he was Taron. Last year was probably his worst since his rookie year. And Cam Lewis played really well in his absence yesterday.
  6. Where are all the Breece Hall truthers today? If you don't let him run gun straight through you (and the Bills didn't) he is done. I've seen tankers with quicker changes of direction. The touchdown run Cook had is a 3 yard gain for Breece Hall.
  7. No offense works when you are playing against 40 points without the Quarterback being excellent. That goes without saying. Brady has without question raised the floor of this offense since he took over and he has done it without affecting the ceiling that was there under Dorsey or Daboll. Sure the defense getting better would help. But that isn't on Joe Brady.
  8. Leadership. That is what his calling card was. Agree that his defenses in Detroit were not great. Anyway.... beware of Aaron Glenn.... he might punt!
  9. One slight amend.... Von was easily the best pass rushing outside linebacker in football. That is another piece of the puzzle in terms of impact for the Bills v Bosa. Bosa is a much more natural fit for our scheme than Von was. Von made it work that first half year because of his ability but he was never really comfortable as a hand in the dirt defensive end, and post ACL the Bills basically never even asked him to do that and just rushed him from a 2 point stance.
  10. I agree with most of this. Bosa is closer to his peak and much more physical and, frankly, a more natural fit for our defense than Von ever was (though no question Von played well through his first 10 games with us until the ACL). But at their best a better overall player? As in at their career best? No way on that. Von is a future Hall of Famer, and quite rightly. Bosa's peak was never that.
  11. Yea agree. I actually thought poked in eye. While that can be serious most times it really isn't. I was pretty calm even though Romo was losing his mind. Romo is ***** dreadful. Bring back Solomon Wilcots from the drought era.
  12. I think he has done a good job. I think the lack of explosives in the pass game is about receiver separation (or lack thereof) deep. Last night the offensive line really struggled pass protecting early too and so they went run heavy in large part to back the Jets rush off IMO and it worked. Now are there still plays where I think they get too conservative from time to time? Yep. But overall I think he is doing a really good job. The one thing they HAVE to fix between him and Josh is the alerts. We are alerting into run plays that go nowhere way too often. Sometimes we seem to be alerting and then running against looks that do not look conducive to success. I think it is just a bit about him and Josh going back and looking at what the principles of our process are for when we alert and what we get into. That is my one gripe so far. On and too much Ray Davis. Who is kinda meh. We scored 30 and basically stopped trying for the last 3 drives.
  13. Quite
  14. Honestly do not give a flying fox.
  15. He has the talent and he can make plays. But he makes a LOT of mental mistakes still.
  16. It would be an issue because we saw yet again that Williams is lost a lot of the time.
  17. I'd argue it was the best pass of game.
  18. It's called the Kair Elam factor.
  19. Cook Bosa Logue Bernard White Cybo
  20. Romo likes everyone. What a cringey creep.
  21. Yea I am not criticising it. Just thought it was interesting.
  22. Starters coming out on offense. Interesting I think they pulled White before Benford at corner.
  23. Tyrod just injured Lewis. Prat.
  24. Bishop timed that blitz up better than last week 😆
