No. I want him deactivated until he's ready to play. My point is that he couldn't even beat Alec Anderson right now. This version of Von Miller is not even an NFL talent. He's being abused by bottom tier tackles. We may need to accept that like Tre White, he'll never return to form. This injury at his age is often a career ender.

You don't need "game reps" when you're playing below practice rep quality. When the dude can beat Alec Anderson, he can start getting game reps.

It's a balance. Hollywood Josh will never win a thing in this league without a miracle of circumstances where the best teams and the best QBs get bounced in big upsets or due to injury. Patrick Mahomes didn't become the best QB in the league until he stopped playing hero ball all game. Tom Brady became the best QB in NFL history 5 yards at a time. Josh and the coaching staff have overcorrected on reigning in the Hollywood, but they can win this way, and the hope is if they let just enough out, they can win a lot. Dorsey and McDermott might not be the right guys to do this, but this is most definitely the best chance Josh ever has of getting a Super Bowl and/or an MVP. Boring football is championship football.

I'm not saying he should sit around, but he could be doing the same thing he's doing in games at the field house when there isn't a game on the line. He's in a really bad spot right now and needs to re-learn how to move laterally. All he can do right now is run in a straight line, and someone with that skillset shouldn't be active on game days.

He looks worse than useless out there. He's a liability. They should have given him the full 21 days to recover and he should be inactive until he can be productive. Right now AJ Epenesa is a far superior player that shouldn't be taken off the field to give Von reps unless it's garbage time.

Expect the Bills to be emotionally exhausted 3 months from now.

Who ar eyou going to bench sou he can get reps? You already have Von, Groot, AJ, and Floyd as pass rushers with Shaq also playing a rotational role and one of the best run defenders of the group. Clark brings nothing to our group at all. Hard pass.

Without White, Jones and Milano, I think this will be a bottom 15-10 caliber unit. People really don't appreciate what Jones does for this defense. The whole unit revolves around him, imo. If Benford misses significant time, I expect us to be worse than that. We'll get bailed out in the stats by a soft schedule where we get to play some truly awful offenses, but I expect to get completely lit up in January against good teams.

Offense is humming? Like a car with a dead battery?

If Milano played in a 3-4 he'd be an ILB. a 3-4 OLB is just a 4-3 DE in disguise.

There is no good. The season died with certainty yesterday. An already bad run defense lost its two most important pieces, and we do not have an NFL level talent to replace Milano. Our offense still doesn't have the consistency required of a championship team and is unlikely to get it before the end of the season. The worst part is that the team just has no grit. It's a very soft culture McD has built here and ultimately it will be our undoing as this team loves to shrink in big moments.

Comparing our team to last year's team isn't very meaningful, because they weren't very good either. Unfortunately i see a less than 5% chance of this team being able to win a Super Bowl this year. It'll be one of the 49ers, Eagles, or Chiefs the rest of the teams in the NFL are playing a different sport and should just be happy to get to play football. We likely didn't have the pieces we needed before the injury to Tre White, and now having lost our two best defensive players, we certainly don't. Epenesa is nice surprise, but unfortunately he's int he last year of his deal and will likely be out of our price range as a rotational DE. Unless Beane plans on making a trade for Pat Surtain and Roquan Smith, this season is going to be a wash. Hopefully we at least see Bernard, Williams, Torrence, Benford, Kincaid, Shakir and Groot develop this year so we have a realistic shot in 2024.

Allen didn't make any big mistakes and made some good plays, but he played the entire game too tentatively and it resulted in delayed passes. He had two deep underthrows that both would have went for TDs, plus numerous underneath throws that got out of his hand too slowly (swing passes to RBs come to mind) that caused players to have to stop their route and killed any chance of YAC. He needs to process faster and get the ball out if we want to take the next step as an offense.

the quad boxes are great. I'm on a 65" tv and have no problem paying attention to each game. I wish they had a channel that had all 4 up at all times. I do this on my pc with streams often.

Because they're the best team in the league with the best player in the league and the greatest TE of all time.

Bar Bill are some of the best wings int he country. It's impossible for anything to be 100% better than them.

There are a lot of great QBs out there making great plays all the time. I love that Josh is our QB, but there's other guys out there that have taken their teams to conference championship games and Super Bowls that are pretty great too. That's not even talking about the young up and comers.

Unlikely. He's a major coverage liability that will show once he's a a part of the offensive gameplan. He's a 5th year journeyman and is what he is at this point imo. I expect safety to be a high priority draft pick over the next year or two with possible placeholders like Rapp coming here on short deals as we try to stay competitive at the position. There's a chance we make FA signings for guys on the rise like Poyer and Hyde were, but I don't put Rapp into that category.

You're watching the wrong stuff. Watch Brett Kollmann, JT O'Sullivan, Joe Marino, etc.

I'm more of a Billy Joe fan - Both Tolliver and Hobert. Look at this cast of elite passers:

You may want to look at the QBs of 25 years ago real quick. I'll help: https://www.pro-football-reference.com/years/1998/passing.htm Guys like Doug Flutie, Steve Beuerlein, Tony Banks, Neil O'Donnell, Charlie Batch and Erik Kramer were all starting QBs.

It is, but teams go on rushes like that over the course of a season. It's the exact kind of opportunity that you need to combine with elite talent to win a championship.

I think you're a little off the mark. Yes, there are a handful of juggernaut teams. If that's all you care about, your point makes more sense, but that's been true every year since forever. If you take (in no order) Buffalo, KC, MIA, DAL, SF, PHI , the league is super interesting. You have an evolution going on in Baltimore right now and Lamar Jackson is playing the best football of his career. The Indianapolis Colts are way better than anyone expected them to be and could be the next big threat to rise over the next couple of years with a QB that looks like he has all the tools The Houston Texans are likewise putting some interesting games together behind another highly touted rookie QB The chargers appear to be a great Head Coach away from being very dangerous The Commanders have shown a lot of grit under first year QB Howell, and while it doesn't seem he has a the makeup of a franchise QB, he might be bale to make them respectable as they retool under a new Coach The Lions are 3-1 and right now look like the 3rd best team in the NFC. They should coast to a Division Championship for the first time since 1993 if they keep it up the 3-1 Buccaneers led by the constantly maligned Baker Mayfield would be the story of the NFC is not for the aforementioned Lions. Baker is playing the best football of his career and may have just needed the right environment to reach his potential.

They played a 4th game yesterday and he had 3.

He's been on IR...
