LOTS of snaps for Gilliam today. Lean into the run. James Cook EARNING that paycheck today

He's inactive

Donald Jones and David Nelson would see significant snaps on this team...

Lucky Horn couldn't come up with that. Taron burned again.

Smart

He was in on the last defensive series

Love Taron. But he's just not it anymore.

Go Bills!

His knowledge will come in handy. And if he's replacing Rapp it really can't be much worse. Biggest danger with Poyer is the risk of getting a "hit on defenseless receiver" flag.

Wow. Was a good player and seemed like a good human. Wayyyy too soon. RIP.

Baker has actually said that Stefanski was pushing him to play when he probably shouldn't have. Then when they finally shut him down it's been reported that Stefanski wanted to move on to Watson.

With the season being 17 games, every week is a must win. This one is most important because it's the next game. "Pucker Factor" is low. We routinely have lost back to back early season games under McDermott and finished strong. I expect a long win streak starting today.

I think it's absolutely bonkers with the glaring need at WR that the local media isn't badgering McDermott or Beane for updates on Gabe Davis. Complete radio silence on his rehab.

Well in that long rambling response, there are a few things I feel I probably should point out. 1. I don't disagree with you that Poyer being brought back should never have happened. But it did. And that's where we are. And yes, having his experience next to Bishop will help. I, too would have rather seen someone else brought in. 2. You can't, by and large, predict injuries. Especially in rookies that were fairly healthy in college. Ironically, the guy they drafted with I jury concerns has been fine. It's a rough sport. 3. People still refer to "the process"? That's hysterical. 4. Pegula hasn't shown he can produce a championship caliber team. But outside of KC and Philadelphia, who has? 5. Carolina coming in on a 3 game streak won't help them when the ball gets kicked off today. Nor will the Bills 2 straight losses hurt them. It's the 60 minutes after kickoff that will define today. 6. Here's a swerve. I don't care if KC beats us next week. We always beat them in regular season and lose in the playoffs. Maybe a loss to them in regular season flips the script. 7. I love the hidden "FIRE MCBEANE" rhetoric. Let me guess. This has been your stance since 13 seconds.

Josh Allen is at his very best when the Bills can consistently run the ball. This is true for most too QBs. Gotta use the legs of James Cook early to open up the pass. We absolutely need to see Ray Davis step up. Any down he's in is basically a lost down. We need to have him going so Cook can take a break when needed without killing the drive.

The way he handled the Baker Mayfield situation, he screwed himself.

Really looking forward to seeing how the new faces on defense do today. Let also hope Brady didn't use the bye week to come up with more cutesie plays. Just like up, win your matchup.

Yes. I'd let the Jags pick. Our first rounder this year should be higher than what the Jags spent. And much lower than the cost would have been to move up for him last year.

I think (barring injury to himself or another CB) around 10 snaps. 1-2 series type deal.

If anything, he's got those alligator arms and is contact shy because he's afraid of the hits. I get it. And I'm probably going to be downvoted to oblivion for even mentioning it... But this coaching staff was able to get Hamlin in the headspace to take on contact after his incident. I think they can work their magic to get Thomas ready to play again, too

Disagree. They don't really need another WR, let alone a costly one. Now Pittsburgh, that's the team I'd watch out for

I agree. So far this year there have been 3 key components that were outstanding last year that have regressed to the means. Forcing turnovers are one of them. Second was the low amount of sacks given up last year. Third is the fact that no one outside of Allen caused a turnover last year on offense.

His offense has been toast since they changed how they call presnap motion and he hasn't been smart enough to adjust. He frequently abandons the run for extremely long stretches of the game even though Achane is their best weapon and players just don't seem to respect him. Why would we want that here?

Maybe it would wake Keon up a bit. A bit of actual competition would be good for him.
