Totally agree. Yes the O Line has improved dramatically. But we still have a long way to go. I think they draft a OT very high this year. I cant recall the last time we have even a serviceable RT after those years of watching Jordan Mills get beat. I know Ford is a rookie and with as high as McBeane was on drafting and moving up to get Ford, was really hopeful he could turn into an elite T but i have serious doubts right now.

Excellent write-up as always, you make some great points. I do disagree with this, "Or, look at the Bills’ final offensive play. In September the Pats forced Allen into several bad decisions with multiple blitz packages, including several six- and seven-man rushes. They knew Allen would be prepared for the all-out blitz this time around, and Allen didn’t see it once, until the final play. Then, true to form, Belichek wanted numbers. He knew that numbers would maximize the opportunity to get a free rusher at Allen and get either a sack or a hurried throw." Most of what you say is accurate but the errant throw REALLY happened because both tackles were useless. Dawkins fell down and Ford whiiffed. (They got pressure on Allen the play before because again Ford whiffed) . The Pats had only one free rusher IF the tackles did their job, what you say was a jailbreak of three guys coming at Allen. Allen usually can easily avoid on free rusher, he could do little with three guys coming at you. The last play blew up because both tackles failed. besides the rushers missed by the tackles, Not sure if it was coaching or bad luck or inexperience, it looked to me like the Bills O Line choked at the end. Allen didnt help matter overthrowing an open receiver on second down. The Bills chocked, it wasnt some brilliance on the part of Belichek, at least no in the last series imo.

Well according to all the sports psychological "experts" i hear on TV, Brady has turned into the GOAT because he was snubbed in the draft and the Patriots thrive on the negativity of being hated. Always thought the Brady narrative was utterly asinine, if he really is still holding a grudge nearly 20 years later he needs help, badly. Maybe he should chill and go make out with his son again.

Fuller has speed the Bills would be hard pressed to defend.

Quite possible. There was one game this year were we tried to run Gore with a heavy package and we got stuffed repeatedly, i dont reacll which game., the Redskins? Regardless, i looked up his stats, Gore has 5 games this year where he averaged less than 2 yds/carry, that is pretty dismal.

The heavy goal line offense that gained one yard on 4 attempts is concerning. We have seen that in other games as well with Gore running in heavy package. You have to seriously question Dabol on such calls.

Bills are an excellent matchup with the Texans. The Texans live and die by the big play in the air. They have an impressive dual threat in Hopkins and Fuller WHEN Fuller is healthy. One of the reasons the Texans appear so streaky is Fuller has missed a lot of games and the Texans Offense suffers mightily, not the Broncos debacle. The Texans D line is shaky, even with Watt coming back they dont improve much, Watt is a shadow of the player he was. DJ Reader at N is actually emerging as a good player. Whitney merciless is far above average LBer and McKinney and Cunningham are average. and D J Reader at N, We shouldn't have to fear their pass rush although Romeo Cremell is a great DC and after watching J Allen recently wil blitz the hell out of us. Their weakness is the secondary. You have Jonathon Joseph he was over the hill 5 years ago still starting. They just picked up Heargraves for nothing and listed as their 3rd CB dont be shocked if you see a lot of him. J Allen has the potential to have a very good game. Texans special teams is improving and actually made some plays last week including a good kick return and a blocked field goal. Defensively the key to the game may be our secondary, esp safeties stopping the big plays. Watson is so elusive pass rush doesnt mean much, think of Lamar Jackson not as good or consistent a runner with a much better and stronger arm.

Yep, Pitt is going to pull out all the stops tonight. If I were them i would treat this as a must win game.

Yep, Josh's frustrating starts is troublesome. Playing Pitt at home with a great defense is NOT the place you want to fall behind or even have the game close late in the game.

I would prefer screen passes out of the shotgun but you are probably correct, has he as to run to open up that D

JuJu Shuster is out, huge..the other threat is 5 11 James Washington, if Tre can man up on him one on one (good matchup height wise) we might be able to make their offense one dimensional. And the Line has moved from Steelers -1.5 to a pick em, that is huge bullish for the Bills.

No actually what will happen is the media will make it LOOK like they are trying to hide something . We are talking about interactions with a foreign governments, very very dangerous thing to testify about. 1) "I do not believe you didn't vote for Trump " I dont care WHAT youe believe, fact is I ddint. 2) "I don't know the crimes yet" One of the most asinine comments i have ever read, yep you accuse other of hiding his crimes, of course crimes you dont even know exist. Again you have zero credibility but this point to a laughable extreme. "I dont know the crimes yet" HILARIOUS

Kool aid drinker, funny i didnt vote for Trump. Regardless, please list Giuliani's "crimes", i for one dont want to "hide his crimes" so please, enlighten us all.

You realize there is a thing called executive privilege and it is there for good reason. You can put the entire country at risk when you start compelling the executive branch to testify and we have certainly seen the US judicial/political system is not setting menaigless beyond perjury traps. And there is also a thing called attorney client privilege and Giuliani is one of Trump lawyers.

Speaking of bad calls, there was a long pass on 3rd down late in the game toward Beasley? was clearly interfered with, i never saw the replay so i might be wrong but I was stunned McDermott didn't challenge it for PI. Yes I know most are overturned but it was a huge play and we then punted with time running dangerously low, i thought it was a terrible no challenge on hos part. Am i missing something?

All true and i thought he was going to come out and drop a turd against Dallas ion Thanksgiving, his first national prime time game but he didn't.

Yeah that is the sad reality, his composure on pressure was often terrible, he also bailed on one where he just threw the ball wildly in the air, lucky that wasnt intercepted.

Agreed, Josh was not at his best yesterday and it followed a trend where he has a very poor start, but i cant blame it all on the wind, he has done that on multiple games this year. Have to question pre game prep and coaching. I am not "upset" about the loss, we did prove that we can play with the bet team in the NFL. A few drops and a few accurate throws we could have won that game (the Ravens incredibly bad timed penalties that weren't needed certainly helped).

I found the show bizarre and somewhat boring. Davey was a wimp, as was his father, the dog had a goofy voice. Not sure why i watched it except for the fact there were only three or 4 networks on.

so do i , my former avatar was a avatar of the sex toy thrown on the field during the Pats game which had written on in "Brady's D*&%$:, i was asked to replace it

I guess i will be the first, yest the are the best team in NY, the only team in NY for that matter. Considering where the jets and Giants are it is an easy question regardless.

Yes all very pitiful excuses for presidents. Thank god Jeb Bush despite his elite pedigree and millions of $ went nowhere. Joe is entitled, he is above being asked serious questions, he turns mean instantly. He epitomizes everything wrong with our government and politicians highlighted by the graft and corruption drug addled of his worthless drug addled son.

?

Yeah lets see how far this goes, might just be a money grab, I am surprised it is into getting more publicity. I thin this is probably thread worthy.

How can anyone not be embarrassed watching Biden? There aint no way Biden is going to be the nominee, anyone with any commons sense knows that, the man is corrupt, borderline senile, prone to attacking when confronted, a walking human gaffe machine. He gets mean and nasty in a heartbeat, that is from decades of being in power and not really answering to anyone, people have to answer to him, he is above the common person. A Trump-Biden debate would be must see TV. Trump will be abusive to Biden and hit him with zingers to upset Joe and Biden will turn mean in a nanosecond and come back swinging, at his mental state right now that might be literally swinging. I think the nominee will either be Hillary or Michele. the Deomcratic party will nix the Biden candiday just like the did Bernie next year.
