  1. That price is insane. What are the Niners thinking? It's not like he's going to be the piece to put them over the top. So glad our GM is smarter than this. Could we use some reinforcements? Yes. But parting with that much for any RB is insane.
  2. Just goes to show you how important the big guys up front are when it comes to LB play. Both Maine and Milano are playing fast and free because the guys up front are keeping them clean and allowing them to work. I can't tell you enough how much of an upgrade Jones has been in place of Star. He's done more for this team in 4 games than Star did his entire tenure with the Bills. Add in the fact that Groot has been an absolute monster with both Boogie and AJ taking big steps forward (not to mention we have some guy named Miller screaming off the edge as well) and they are just creating so much chaos up front that it isn't allowing offensive lines to immediately get to the second level and block our backers. The exciting part about all of this is that I think we're only going to see us get better as the season goes along as we get some guys back from injury. Maine and Milano are already balling out, and they haven't had our best DT on the field in Oliver pretty much all season, his primary backup in Phillips (who is playing like a starter) for the last couple games as well, and that's not even mentioning a top 3-4 CB in the entire league on top of all that. It's just night and day to see what these LBs can do when they don't have to worry about shedding blocks every single play. They are playing free and fast and it is really noticeable. The only thing that is going to stop this defense, and this team really, is injuries. If we can find a way to get and stay healthy, we have a chance to do something truly special.
  3. He's had a rough go for the most part with his very limited opportunities. But I think that's most of the problem.....he's not getting a real opportunity. Backs thrive on touches and getting into a rhythm, picking up blocking tendencies of the line, and getting a feel for how defenses are playing you. Because he only gets a couple snaps a game, it is impossible to settle in and get into a groove. So, he gets on the field, presses because he wants to do something meaningful with his 1 or 2 touches, and in turn makes mistakes. I would love for the staff to just tell him going into a game that he's going to get multiple full series in a row and not just a random play once in a while. Unfortunately, I don't see this staff doing that. Our best hope to get anything out of him is to get up big and allow him to come in and get some real work and almost be unstoppable in that time to force the staff to give him more playing time. Honestly, I feel bad for the kid because I think he just needs a real chance to show what he can do.
  4. Watching the game live, this is what I thought he was going to do. In my head, I am thinking Bass could hit from 60-65 max, so my target line was the 45. Not saying he would have made it, of course, but he has the leg to get it there. Would have been a tough kick for sure, but I would have liked to at least have the chance to try it. Getting out of bounds there was not worth the extra 5 yards. Heat of the moment with everything going on, I will never blame Dirty, though. Just an unfortunate set of circumstances.
  5. I can virtually guarantee you that even when Tre is back and ready to go, he won't be out there for every snap. He's going to be worked in slowly so he can ramp himself up to full speed over a number of weeks. I think we will still see plenty of Jackson, Elam, and Benford for quite a while to come. The last thing we need is to just throw Tre back out there and overwork him, not just to protect his knee, but from other injuries as well. No matter how hard he's been working out and will come out and practice, anyone that is injured like he was will be more susceptible to new injuries by coming back and playing too much too soon. Long term health is the goal for Tre and being able to get the young kids more more important reps is going to be an added bonus. This is all about the big picture and having as many guys healthy as possible to go out and win after game 17 is over.
  6. After everything we went through Sunday, I heard they made a call to the architect to make sure they installed high powered infrared heaters that will be set at 115 degrees directly over the visitors benches that will be turned on exclusively for Dolphins games so they can get a taste of home when they come here. They will pair nicely with the high powered fans that will be turned on when temperatures reach 30 degrees or lower.
  7. Ugh....got me. Luckily it wasn't a ton of money, but still.....
  8. Anyone have anything they love in this game? The under? Player props? Need to make this game interesting somehow!
  9. Ugh..... Hoping for the best for Hyde. Usually getting a 2nd opinion means whatever the issue is, it is pretty serious. Forget this game, I'm worried this could be the end of his season, if not worse. Obviously, his health is the #1 priority and I hope that he makes a full recovery. That said, with him out, Tre already out, and now Jackson and Poyer not practicing today, what was once the strongest group on our team is now 100% backups and rookies heading into a game against maybe the best WR group we will play all season. Not ideal to say the least.
  10. So, as of today, our entire starting secondary is not practicing. Far from ideal heading into a game with 2 of the fastest WRs we will face all season.
  11. It was more like 1 good quarter and half of the yardage he had was from RAC. The only thing Dolphins fans are getting this week is a reality check.
  12. Since Josh got pulled before the 3rd quarter was over, I think we should remove Tua's 4th quarter stats to see how they stack up with equal playing time!
  13. Anyone still on the fence about adding OBJ when he's healthy, just remember this tweet. We are one injury away from Jake Kumerow being our #2 outside WR.
  14. Sounds like no Davis tonight according to WGR and Jeremy Fowler. Here's to Shakir bursting onto the scene tonight and balling out! Jeremy Fowler @JFowlerESPN #Bills WR Gabe Davis (questionable, ankle) is not expected to play tonight vs. the #Titans, per source. Team has held out hope but playing was considered an uphill battle since Saturday's injury. Out, barring surprise.
  15. I think he looks a little stiff. Kind of looks like a guy trying to hide the pain a bit. But who knows....maybe I'm wrong. Just the way it looks to me. Now, regardless of whether he goes tonight, I full expect to see 10 active and get quite a bit of run. Hope so, because he reminds me so much of Bobby Trees. Maybe not the most physically gifted guy, but he's such a nuanced route runner and has a knack for getting open. I think if he has to come in and play a big role tonight, he won't disappoint.
  16. Yeah....not happening. I believe networks can protect up to 2 games per season. While we don't know what games they are for sure, I would bet quite a bit that this game is one of those protected games. It is the biggest regular season game of the season. No way a network would voluntarily give it away to another network.
  17. There are so many stats that start with "Josh Allen of the @BuffaloBills is the first QB in NFL history to have..." Even unicorns are starting to look at Josh Allen wondering what type of creature he is. One of one. #BillsMafia #GoBills
  18. There is a lot that can be said about this game. Of course, we could all just go on and on about Allen and the offense (outside the turnovers), but this post is making sure the defense get the recognition they deserve. 7 Sacks 3 Interceptions Allowed 52 yard rushing Allowed less than 250 total yards All this without arguably their 2 best defenders......Tre for the entire game, and Oliver for most of it after his injury. They ate tonight. If they play like they did tonight every week, I'm not sure who will beat us. We played a B- game on offense tonight with all the turnovers factored in and we still scored 31. We clean up those turnovers, we could have put up 50. The defense made up for a lot of offensive mistakes. If the offense cleans things up and gets up by 2 scores early on teams, we will be blowing a lot of teams out. Not only was the pass rush unbelievable by everyone, but we played a more physical game tonight than I have seen us play on defense in a long time. If we stay healthy and get Tre back to where he was pre-injury, we're going to be an extremely hard team to beat. On to MNF. Time to go out and take some revenge and right a major wrong from the last couple years. GO BILLS!!!!
  19. Well, it was a mixed bag in that half for sure. Fact is, there is no doubt in my mind that if we play a clean second half, we'll win by 2 scores. So, the question is, can we get out of our own way?
  20. This game blows......we're dominating yet only up 3 because of our own stupid mistakes. Drops that become INTs. Fumbles. Kickoffs out of bounds. Not getting a guy down on the ground on 4th down. Allen is out here basically throwing a perfect game and the rest of the team can't get out of his own way. So frustrating. We should be up 14. Pray it doesn't come back to haunt us.
  21. They can make excuses all they want, but that was delay of game.....almost by a full second.
  22. I like Dirty, but that can't happen. Seems like bad things happen to the guy far too often. Wish 10 was active.
  23. Here's to winning the first game of the 22-23 NFL Season and winning the last game of the last game of the 22-23 NFL Season. BURN.IT.ALL. #BillsMafia #GoBills
  24. Awesome...... Now get to work on Oliver. He's going to be a tough one, though. He's going to want to get PAID. Here's hoping the salary cap just explodes even higher than the projections indicate. Going to need all the help we can get. Luckily with the way Allen's contract is structured, the Bills will be able to create huge cap space any year they want to by converting his salary into bonuses. That will greatly help with the flexibility we will need for guys like Oliver and hopefully Davis down the road.
  25. If the reports are true of his locker being cleaned out and his nameplate gone, they are probably putting the final touches on the termination. My guess is if the Bills do this right, they may be able to get back some, if not all. of his salary or something. That's probably what the holdup is.
