Duct Tape is good as injuries pile up.

I’m on board with run more slide : get out of bounds more. Don’t take on tacklers near the sidelines.

New theory: getting NFL players ready for 2028 Olympic flag football?

I heard C Biscuit was at Tempo. Take that for what its worth .

The problem of the McDaniel Shanahan system is that it is too reliant on a singular All Pro caliber weapon that is ultimately injured due to overuse. McCaffery & Hill are both older and approaching the point in a career where injuries take longer to recover from. Thankfully the Bills use Diggs at a much lower rate.

We need more DTs any All Pro 1 Tech’s on the trade market?

More clapping.

We have Murray. Same back.

Apparently the OL can be up to 1 yard past the LOS at the time of the pass leaves the QB's hand. It looks like the Pats Center was at the 27 yard line. This should be a challengeable play if anything. Being that it occurred under 2 minutes in the half it should be an automatic review.

Fire Shanahan.

Elam & Dorian will all be better pros than the guys who are starting that are 5 years older.

Was Milano, Tre & Da’Quan.

The Bills pass defense is the number 1 issue, and can only get better.

The reality is Josh is performing nearly at the same level while the defense is battered and injured. Has Allen played without the top 3 players on defense?

I think Allen is playing up to his 2020 and beyond level. You really can't ask more of Allen outside of asking him to run the ball.

I've said this before and I'll say it again, Dorian & Kaiir are the youngest players on this roster. I'd prefer them both playing, learning on the job, as their draft position and athleticism are far superior to their replacements. Will they make mistakes? Of course, but you want them learning now, the time is now, rather than letting them come in the roster after a lesser talented veteran suffers injury. Many have argued this team isn't going anywhere. You can't replace the entire roster in a season. Better to see what these guys are made of and give them experience and possibly confidence going forward.

Honestly McDermott could have elected to call a timeout to help Bass when the winds started gusting before the kick. Another issue was Martin's spot. Upon replay it showed not the ideal placement of the ball as Bass' foot contacted the ball. Unlike an ideal place kick the ball wasn't hit in the sweet spot due to poor placement (ball looked angled to the left) / caused either by a bad snap or Martin hold miscue. Bass reaction points to displeasure in the hold and / or disbelief in the wind. Clearly if the wind speed was 0 mph you can get by with this effort. But when weather is a factor the snap, hold, and kick timing have to be in-sync. At the moment the ball left Bass foot you can see the typical end over end vertical 90°, was more a 75° end over end rotation. This causes the ball to take on more angular rotation and any gusts are going to affect the ball after it reaches maximum velocity and height. Norwood's kick was a perfect end over end, but his hips did not rotate. Bass kick was heading straight until the ball speed slowed and the wobbling of the ball caused by bad hold wind speed caused the ball to sail right.

Right now it seems to me that Allen is getting his stats with 4th quarter comebacks after slow starts due to poor execution of the designed and scripted offense that begins the game. Perhaps Allen should call his own plays in a stripped down no-huddle high tempo offense. Peyton Manning was able to do this and wasn't Einstein. Is Allen smart enough to call his own plays?

Bills rushing totals so far in 2023: 35/183 33/168 29/104 29/128 24/81 22/97 14/29 Guess which are the 3 losses.

Shakir lacks RAC, but he does catch virtually every ball when targeted. Kincaid too. The two laggards, Davis & Knox need less targets and snaps.

This a good point. I think if Bass had made that one FG and you were a FG wins, then you do burn clock. Being that you were down 18-22 you a zero margin for error, and scoring a TD was the right decision, regardless of clock. And you prefer a 2nd and goal from the 1’ line. The Offense needs to score more than 25 to win if the D and ST get rolled.

Belichick with a bit of gamesmanship per usual with his 17 players injury report. Keep ‘em guessing.

Scrap 12 for 11. And play Kincaid 90% of those snaps in 11 or more. Knox is a blocker and RZ only target. He’s just not good between the 20s.

Let Gabe rotate with the others.

If we go 14-3 yes.
