I appreciate the catch radius concerns but unfortunately we have guys like Davis, Murray and, lately, even Diggs who are dropping regulation passes hitting them right on the chest or belly button. Shakir is not one of those. Feed the guy who moves the chains!

I think it's a combination of all the issues raised. Where Josh is concerned, my thoughts shortly after the Patriots loss were that he put on some weight (I doubt he is 237 pounds these days) and spent too much time in the off-season playing golf and doing podcasts, and that it was the first summer he didn't attend Jordan Palmer's QB academy. I have seen nothing recently to change that viewpoint.

I would argue that Shakir could be the guy. Has sticky hands, often catches the less than perfect passes and looks clutch on third and medium to long. He may not be a WR1, but he's the best according to my eye test.

Sadly I cannot see a way this game doesn't enter nail-biting territory. The offence is spluttering and the performance of the OL is up and down like a honeymooner's arse. And they are up against a good defence. All that said, I reckon we squeak out a win. Bills 27 Pats 23

I am not worried about Diggs in the slightest, he is due for a biggie against the cheats.

You're a real party pooper Chongli.😁 Looks like we'll have to settle for watching the Ravens v Fish game on ESPN, with the ol' tissue box placed strategically over the score ticker.

It's definitely getting flexed to SNF. In fact, NBC have already released the promo:

49. EDGE LEONARD FLOYD, BUFFALO BILLS Floyd was let go by the Los Angeles Rams as they dropped from the most expensive NFL team in 2022 to the cheapest in 2023. Still, he has made a handful of splash plays this season, with several coming in key moments as the Bills defense struggles overall. Floyd has earned 65.0-plus pass-rush grades in four straight seasons, and his 37.5 sacks over the span have flown under the radar as a top-10 mark among edge defenders. Floyd is long and rangy, with good burst but only adequate bend around the edge. He tends to impact more plays than the box score indicates, thanks to his good instincts to get his hands up to deflect passes or disrupt throwing windows.

Your opinion is, well....poo

Cowgirls - what a bunch of downhill skiers!

I don't think he's too far off his best, it's just that the margin for error in the NFL is so small. Needs a big confidence booster against the Pats so he is in the right frame of mind for the fish.

The best thing about this game apart from the dub - that Terrell Bernard did not tear an Achilles tendon, which was my immediate reaction when he started limping on that non-contact play.

By all means, give us your breakdown.

You arguing with a thigh doctor's prognosis on a torn pec? Anyways....I'm off to see my arse doctor about a hip replacement.

Thank God the game is live in Australia on ESPN, this Peacock thing is so damn stupid.

Absolutely.

There are some interesting threads over at Cowboyszone.com, with perhaps one of the most interesting ones titled: "I believed in you Dak, and you let me and my son down"

....and he hit guys not wearing Bills unis. What a novel concept.

He almost got the half sack but Phillips got there first. Otherwise, I didn't see much from him.

Maybe an honorable mention for Brady too, eh?

They got well beaten by the Chiefs DL, then completely flipped the script today. Hopefully they (and Aaron) can keep it up.

We were missing half of our starting defence going into the game (Tre, Jones, Milano, AJE and Hyde) against the best offense in the NFL. I gave us about a 20% chance of winning and yet we thumped them by 3 scores. Never been so happy to be so wrong.

At this point with Epenesa probably out for 2-3 weeks, we just need rotational-level play from Von. Anything more is an unexpected bonus.

Maybe we wear the red unis for the rest of the year and tell Rapp our guys are all QBs - will that help?
