Sammy Watkins' Rib

Play action all day. Please.

As you say nobody would take him and anyone who would give you a conditional 7th in 2025.

It already feels like the Bills have let the typical close games they should have won slip away. The game that if they would have won would have gotten them the 1 seed and more importantly than the first-round bye, the more favorable divisional round match up. Get ready for BIlls @ Chiefs VI this January. If that happens, since 2020 we will have somehow played the Chiefs at Arrowhead 6 times and in Buffalo once.

My question with BB is whether he retires mid-season or not. This thing could snowball quickly for the Pats. They just lost 34-0 at home to an average at best team. They are missing their two best defensive players for some time. Apparently have no QB. And they came into the season with one of the worst groups of offensive skill players. Pats are on a two game losing streak and they have been outscored 72-3 in those two games. They have @ Raiders, vs. Bills and @ Dolphins coming up. This could snowball into a 5 game losing streak if they can't find a win against the Raiders. And a historic minus point differential.

Pass rush seems better. Before Milano went down, the linebacker play was WAAAY better. Everything else is probably a wash to this point.

Didn’t the offense three and out on it’s first three drives? The TOP would not be so bad if the offense could’ve move the ball in the first half. as others have mentioned, the offense was perfectly healthy as well. Zero excuses for their lackluster performance in the first 3 quarters.

Was hoping Von would make his debut next week. But it seems he is cleared and what's one more week going to do at this point? But if he doesn't go I still feel pretty good about AJ and Floyd.

Right. Remind me how many rings Burrow has won. It's one thing to have that argument with Peyton and Brady when Brady had three rings and Peyton had zero early in their careers. Bengals might not even make the postseason this year at the pace they are going. That is going to put a big dapper on the Burrow is so great in the postseason argument if the guy can't even show up to the dance. Of course, the reality is the Bengals defense has stepped up in the postseason and carried Burrow and the offense while the opposite is true in Buffalo. The Bills defense takes steps backwards in the postseason and Allen and the offense carry the defense as far as they can take them. You mean like Mr. Butt Fumble, Mark Sanchez?

I'm not sure this is accurate. If you go back and watch the week 2 and week 4 targets that Kincaid got against the Raiders and Dolphins respectively, his two biggest games in terms of targets and receptions thus far, an interesting thing pops out. Against the Raiders all of but one of Kincaid's six targets came when he was playing on the line. Often, Knox was also on the line on the same play. Then against Miami the script was flipped. All of Kincaid's targets came from him being in the slot. And oddly enough Knox, if he was on the field, was also in the slot on all of Kincaid's catches. It seems to me that Dorsey wants Kincaid and Knox to be 100% interchangeable. This would seem wise as it does not tip the hat to what the offense or either player might do on any given play.

Wide Left indeed.

I’ve always loved Allen on the road too. I would say small sample size and the Jets D is by far the best we have faced this year. And that game happened to be on the road. I expect another below average offensive output when we play the Jets again in Buffalo. We do have two really nice late season weather games @ LA and @ Miami that should help Allen’s stats late in the year.

The fact of the matter is Allen has never been on a team with the 1 seed. I think the last five MVP's from most recent have been Mahomes, Rodgers, Rodgers, Lamar and Mahomes. In every instance they were all on a team that finished first in their conference. In your scenario, if each player has those stats, they very well could give it to Mahomes if the Chiefs are the 1 seed.

I expect Benford back. Sucks losing Tre but we didn’t have Tre for most of last season and when he did come back he wasn’t the same player he was before. In my eyes the secondary is still at least as good as last years unit. I say better though because between our two great safeties, Hyde and Poyer, I think Hyde is the more crucial piece and we were without him last year. Also think he might have more left in the tank they Poyer.

If the Bills get the 1 seed Allenwill be MVP. I don’t see Mahomes having stats advantage this year that can overcome Allen and the Bills having the 1 seed. It is very early but IMO we have three man race right now with Allen, Mahomes and McCaffery. Lamar could factor in but let’s see if he can last a full season. Also seems unlikely they would get the 1 seed over Buffalo or KC.

The biggest deciding factor for MVP has always been team record and specifically obtaining the 1 seed in your conference. Bad weather does not play a factor in that regard. Also of note this year, Bills play at LA Charger and @ Miami in two of their last three games of the year. Weather won’t be a problem for either.

Team just looks better to me though. O-line, running game and linebackers really stand out as improved units over last year. And it doesn’t feel like any of the other units have regressed or taken a step back.

I’m still not even 100% sold on this theory of Allen needing to calm down and him having figured that out. 1. Not sure he needs to calm down. 2. If he does, not sold we won’t see one or two more repeats of the Jets game later this season. So many of Allen’s great WOW plays are also plays where the first instinct should be don’t try this just throw it away or eat it for a sack . But for every bonehead play Allen makes, he makes two spectacular plays. The real difference in the Jets game is that the Bills could have handed the ball off for the rest of that game in the second half and likely gotten the W. But we will have playoff games where we rely on Allen having that 2:1 ratio of WOW plays to boneheaded plays.

He needs less time in the film room! Just ball Josh. Oh, and check down to Kincaid A LOT!

Feel like even with the week 1 performance he should be the front runner now. Should be some big moves in the odds after today. Allen will surely overtake Tua who was the leader before today’s games. I’m just not sure he will leap Mahomes although he should in both my biased AND unbiased opinions. I got a good feeling about this one. Nearly the entire national media was crapping on the Bills before this season started. Factor in the dreadful week 1 performance and it only makes sense that this is the year Allen does actually win the MVP.

Give it a little more thought. we. only. beat. undefeated. teams.

It was sometime in the late third quarter when I finally noticed #20 out there and had to remind myself who that was and why they were in the game. I really don’t recall hearing his name called all day. Since the entire Bills D seemed to have a really good D I have to imagine Rapp played well too. Stat sheet shows 6 tackles (second on the team) 5 solo. He’s a UFA after this year. I wouldn’t mind at all another look at Rapp next week and letting Poyer fully heal up.

Great. I had a feeling we would lose to the Jags next week. So we will beat the Eagles. Then pick in the top 5 of the draft.

Once again, only Diggs has more receptions. Should we throw to Diggs less and Kincaid more? He’s the Bills number 2 receiver now and I expect his usage to increase as the year goes on. He won’t over take Gabe for yards but he should be right there in that #2/#3 spot for receptions and targets all year.

You do know that through 4 games Kincaid is second on the team in receptions right? I would say that is the definition of immediate contributor.

That is why Father’s Day is always such a big day for Josh down in Miami.
