I mean, they gotta do what they gotta do. If he is injured then he is injured. Not a good time for it. About to face an elite offense. Coverage will have trouble as it is. We have pretty much zero pass rush when he doesn't play.

People really underestimate how good Edelman was. Dude was a tough physical receiver that consistently found space to get open, had good hands, and was a great YAC guy. Maybe he isn't a HoF player but he is highly underestimated. In his prime, he would be a clear #1 on this team and no one would be even close.

Especially in run defense. They have been much better with Bernard off the field. He was excellent last year. Dunno what the problem is this year. Maybe just hampered by injury. I dunno, but his play does not meet his expectations this year. The defense was almost instantly better when he went out against HOU and that continued against PITTS.

Could be an indicator that Bosa is out.

As I told another poster, you are making that comment post games played. I made my comment pre games played. This stuff is going to change week to week at this point because everyone is so close in record. I already showed exactly that. Of course, as I said, that was pre games played. Now its a new week and the Bills beat Pittsburg which was my main contending point that having another team with a tie breaker would be bad.

The kid is legit. He has some elite skills. Whether he ends up in Josh/Mahommie territory, I think it's too early to say. We will get a better picture next season when he plays first place schedule and teams have more film on him.

The blocking should get more credit for Cook than people give it. We have a good line. We use more TE blocking sets, fullback blocking, WR blocking all probably more than any other team. I am not saying Cook isn't great. He is, but he isn't #1 in the league. A lot of his big runs are before contact. I was looking for another stat, that I didn't find yet, but I was surprised by this stat... Cook only ranks 15th at seeing 8+ in the box. I honestly thought it would be closer to the top but it isn't.

A lot of reshuffling is about to happen over these last weeks. I don't mind peoples optimism. Nor do I mind their pessimism. Good to have some balance IMO. Personally, I am not going to get too high over beating the Steelers. They aren't that good on either side of the ball. Bengals are at least good on one side. Pats arent great on either side but they are good on both. Browns are good on one side. Eagles, I dunno what the hell they are TBH. Then there is the Jets; a garbage team that would probably hope to lose for a better draft pick. I think the one seed is out of reach. I also think the division is close to out of reach. The way the games this week went, has me at least confident we get into the playoffs now though. Anything can happen in there.

Before all that, I wanted to kick the FG. I felt at the time that taking the points was more valuable given how the game was going. Just like in the HOU game, had we taken FGs instead of not making it on 4th downs, we probably win that game. Its not like this game was a shootout or even a team capable of doing what KC does with end of game scoring. In saying that, it was the false start that ruined that. They called TO either because they wanted to see their defense and put their best play in there or they didn't like the play they had called against the D they showed. Not sure. Either way, I am fine with that. I didn't need them trying to rush another possible score after another drive. Those things can result in picks or fumbles as well, which would just have given Pitts another score attempt chance. At the end of the day, people will criticize it no matter what they did in that situation.

He is definitely one of the best podcasters. I'd rather listen to him then the guys on WGR even. Locked On isnt even a Bills thing. There is one for every team. I think there is anyways. I've seen a few guys from some of the other teams. If they popped up in my feed during the game week, I would try and give those guys a listen as well. The other ones I have watched don't hold a candle to Marino either. I don't think Marino is always right though. Not even sure who you were commenting to but thought I would add my 2 cents.

Its not likely. I said it could happen. Which it can.

This team always has a good plan for Watt. I said before the game that Watt doesn’t play well against us. Granted, doing it with backup tackles on both ends was next level.
