Hopefully I can get this in before this thread gets buried. Bills had their backup 1T and 3T today, and the guys backing them up are a practice squad player and a guy who had been inactive. The lack of NT was detrimental to the DL, you could see it start when Jones went out but losing Oliver was the kiss of death. Poor DTs + small LBers results in what we saw today. I love our small LBers too, but this defensive performance was predictable. All the talk of the offense, but Bills MUST bring in a legitimate NT by the trade deadline.

And a brutal drop

Jordan Phillips is an ok 1T, Settle is garbage. 3T is a massive weakness, it’s super important to the defense and we have no one.

The Puna Ford gamble was a massive miss right now, this team is toast without another NT.

Bills need to make a notable move at NT. Ford, Settle, and Phillips are rotational guys only. Vickers is garbage.

Where do I sign? Ken Dorsey Offense is clearly a bad fit for Josh Allen.

What did people expect with Phillips and Settle? We knew the DL would struggle today.

We’ve seen Allen throw picks on that route combo before…

I noticed Diggs in the slot, makes me wish we had 2 consistent outside guys.

They have had pretty mediocre QB play. If BB can get a decent QB I think they are competitive again.

Brown tripped, and there were 2 other fights going on.

I meant when we have a healthy Matt Milano as well.

I think not having Jones and Oliver will cause trickle down effect and we may be surprised by the level that the defense struggles, but I think the offense takes care of business. 34-21 Buffalo.

I hope so! I love Taron Johnson, but I think the coaches would love the opportunity to sub Dorian Williams in for Johnson on some situations.

He was like 26-26 before the game, he’s fine. Just saw the video of Allen breaking the huddle before the game last week. I’m so happy there is still someone yelling “I love you Josh Allen” in a high pitched voice 😂 Cole Beasley would be proud.

It’s like a high impact hug. You’ll feel pretty good after. This is my hug technique recommendation.

I think, without Oliver, you see a dip in the overall performance of the defense. Ford, Settle, and Phillips do not demand double teams, which will have a negative impact on the DEs on passing downs and LBers on rushing downs. If the DEs are being hemmed up, that creates problems with our secondary which isn’t all that athletic. That is the trouble I was talking about, there is a path that the Empire could take advantage of our DT depth. Not saying we lose, we just won’t have the defensive performance we are all expecting potentially.

What kind of turf are they using?

Gabe is tough to figure out. Statistically, he’s solid. He's catching 70% of his passes and has 2 drops. He is on pace to have 1000+ yards and 10+ TDs. Game to game, he’s inconsistent. Seems he will have a 5-6 catch 85-100 yard game then follow it up with a 1-2 catch 30-32 yard game.

Football is now on 4 days a week, coverage 24/7, and accessible almost anywhere. The game is safer a little bit more every year and players are playing longer and longer. 15 years ago Josh Allen would have maybe 2-3 more seasons left. Jerseys and tickets are expensive, but watching from your couch is cheap.

Hate in Goodell all you want, but the game is worth significantly more money and it’s safer than ever before.

If football doesn’t result in serious injuries anymore, what’s even the point of watching? #Sarcasm. I have no issues making the game safer, players deserve to have futures after football.

I can see Bernard becoming the new Jordan Poyer from a leadership perspective.

First 2 games he was, middle 2 he was solid, last 2 he’s been phenomenal. They way he and Hyde ALWAY step up when injuries start to mount is incredible. Only gets worse. I’m 2 years older than Murray.

It is also completely ok to not be playing your best football in September and October.
