We do good against the run...as long as the other team doesn't have a talented runner. Our wins: Jets Dolphins ×2 KC (CEH hurt in game) WFT (Their top RB is laying the year on a cracked leg) Houston Losses: Pitt (rookie in 1st NFL action) Tenn Jags (did well here) Colts. Big time difference in levels of competition. Saints have Kamara (if cleared), Ingram who has run very well simce rejoining the saints. Same story, new year. This defense dominates poor teams and struggles against teams with actual talent

While it's safe to assume that the game score had something to do with snapcounts... Hughes-3rd biggest cap hit on the team. Almost $10M for the season....21 snaps. Addison-5th biggest cap hit on team. Just over $8M for the season....18 snaps. $18 million dollars sitting the bench for a bulk of the game. Bet we could have signed a decent G, T and still found a DE to give us 39 snaps with not much drop off from what they turn in on an average week.

Lack of depth at key positions. Too much depth at some positions. Too many slots for guys that only add special teams reps. Not having an identity other than "We have Josh Allen". Choosing continuity over making upgrades. I would guess somewhere mixed in there on some levels there many be political divide becaise, let's face at...these days it affects almost every workplace in some way.

Never said it was all in the DL though, did I? Merely pointing out that sinking that much money and those high of draft picks on 1 position group is not yielding the results that make it worthwhile to make such a huge investment. Investing so highly at that 1 group costs the ability to upgrade at other places. It's one of the reasons we have zero quality depth at key positions. And it really isn't even effective. The idea that "our D is having a terrific year" is highly highly suspect. Our D has played a lot of back up and scrub QBs as well which help the numbers. It's like about 6 weeks ago when people were not happy with the offense in the red zone and were told "Average 40 points a game. Shut up". This team and the way it was built is starting to show real flaws. Many of which were also flaws last year and were inadequately addressed. Sorry but box scores and rankings are only part of the story.

Is it though? If Kamara plays (out today) they have a real 2 headed rushing attack with him and Ingram. Same guys that hung 230 rushing and 4 TDs on us a few years back. Today felt a LOT like that day.

The thing is...there SHOULD be blue chippers with the high draft picks spent there. And with the names you listed I would bet at LEAST 2 of them are resigned.

Is Jack Nicklaus is grandpa, too?

Well, as I said in the OP...in theory I can see how it would be beneficial. However, at any given time we have around $15-20M of cap space sitting the bench waiting for their turn. That could be money to get a G or T. So I do believe the cause has a negative effect. And again, I cannot recall one game in McD's time here that it made a noticed difference late in a game.

I wasn't even gonna mention the RB rotation...but that's another peeve of mine. At one point today Motor had a few nice plays. Then Breida came in and had some production. Then they forced Moss in because it was "his turn" and we lost momentum.

Not only that...but players like Groot and Oliver really could use the snaps. Give them more in game experience. I really feel like players develop on the field and the sharing reps slows development. Oliver for example could be much further along than he is now.

Let me start by saying I totally get the philosophy behind it and can even see some merit in theory. Aside from QB in my eyes the most importantly position is the fellas that chase the QBs. However, we have a DL that is costing us around $40 million against the cap this year. Invested big money and high picks. For "part time" players. That's a HUGE amount to invest in players that are not full time difference makers. What each one has on common right now is it this point in their careers each one is a JAG. Sure, Groot, Oliver, AJE and maybe possibly Boogie have some upside. And Hughes used to be solid. But NONE of them have anything elite in their game right now. For the Pro-Hughes crowd. I know he "gets held oh so much and it's never called". But in reality it's way less than it's portrayed as. It's odd that his sacks dropped off for the most part when Mario left. And yes...he gets pressures. Wonderful. You know what he doesn't do? Take the QB down for a loss of yards. Kinda important. Our whole DL gets pressures at BEST. We have no one that's can semi consistently take a QB down. To throw a baseball term out...they have warning track power. We need a home run hitter. Even the lack of guys that could get home and pull a QB down would be easy to look past if they were stout against the run. They are not. Then you have young guys like Oliver that start the game on fire a lot of the time and just kinda disappear. Almost like they get out of the flow of the game. And I cannot recall ONE game where our "fresh legged DL" took over a game late and dominated an exhasted OL. Instead we voluntarily take our better players off the field for a good chunk of the game and sub in lesser players.

Seriously, dude. Go take your pride in a Bills loss elsewhere. Sad, lonely F'n pathetic trolls.

Eat a dick

Jonathan Taylor: 51.90 fantasy points today on Yahoo.

Going forward...Moss just needs to be inactive. Breida has earned more playtime.

Games out of reach....so let's play the guy with cracked ribs now and pepper him with passes. Great thinking.

Oh ***** right the hell off

Man, at this point wonder if the Bills consider playing the 2nd team with the short week and Thursday game ahead.

Ton of Wentz's passes getting tipped. We have to snag 1 or 2 of those.

These better be some damn good halftime PB&J's this week. Backed in a corner. Gonna have to play mistake free and force some turnovers. They can come back. Will be difficult...but time to scratch and claw back.

The way this game is going it wouldn't shock me too see the Colts block this kick and return it.

Moss is terrible at football this year.

We are just getting bullied. Starting to remind me of that Saints game a few years back when they just roadgraded us. Really need to start pushing back or this may get ugly

And we are squandering what could be a golden opportunity to catch them.

HOW DO THEY FREAKING LET HIM ESCAPE THAT
