Why not both? Cleveland has had such a good defense the last few years. If they had anything resembling an NFL level offense they would have been going deep in the playoffs IMO. This Judkins kid is really good tho

Josh is so good in any interview. Just so effortlessly likable.

I wonder if it's money that was counting against the cap that now isn't. Something such as GameDay bonuses from some guys. If they weren't active, that cash goes back to the cap. So Milano missing time, Samuel not being active the first three games, Oliver missing time. If any of them have a bonus based around being active, that money goes back to the pot.

Man, this is exactly the type of early season "gut check" game we had with the Patriots year after year during the Brady era. We would grab a couple of big wins, head up to Foxboro with hopes and dreams of something special, only to have Lucy yank the football away and see out Charlie Brown Bills fly through the air and crash. And we end up getting crushed. Now, we are on the other side of that. I give Vrabel and the Pats credit. They have looked better than last year. I do see the hope they have with Maye.kid is pretty good. But at the end of the day, Lucy will pull the Ball and the Patriots will crash.

Yeah, there has been growing groundswell over the last week that what we saw wasn't actually what we all saw and that he was actually pretty good. Because Joe Marino told them that.

Haven't heard but the end zones being whited out would look pretty good for a night game IMO

Ok, who are the 3 people that picked 3+? I feel like we have the right to know so we can keep them from pointy objects.

Honestly, even putting aside his legal issues, he wasn't good last year anyway. I really wouldn't want to be the GM to take on all the questions about a once great but now apparently mediocre kicker.

I guess I would fall more in the "hopeful" category then the "confident" one. Getting Oliver back will help. Milano back would be a bonus. Still not sure what Hairston will add...but it can't be a huge dropoff from what we have had out there and he has the potential to be a bonus The PED guys. All areas that we could have an improvement. Will we? That's anyone's guess. I do think if we see results closer to the Saints game (they converted 5 for 13 on third) we will be ok. If we see more weeks like the Dolphins game even after those guys get back I think we need to see McDermott take back play calling.

I voted 1. I think he gets a short TD reception. Vrabel likes to try and "stick it" to teams. Example: him trying a "home run throwback" against the Bills. I think the Pats will have some play earmarked for Diggs to score. Being that Diggs has primarily played slot for them, I'm curious to see him go up against Taron.

All fair points. However as we have come to know Josh has that inner drive to succeed and improve. That's not something that is learned. I think he would have succeeded in spite of the Jets. Either with them if they were patient enough, or without them as Sam Darnold has been doing over the last 16 months or so.

People were saying Daboll was really good too. Then he left the Josh Allen bubble. Brady has had success here. And he had success his year at LSU with Burrow/Chase/Jefferson. If he goes somewhere without a franchise QB he's doomed like so many before him IMO.

Baltimore was 6-11 on third down. As you said the Jets were 0-11 (but 3 for 3 on fourth down), Miami was 10-15 and that helps boots the season numbers and the Saints were 5 for 13. So the Dolphins game aside teams are 11 for 35 against the Bills on 3rd down. That's 31.4%. That would be good for #2 third down defense in the NFL. Now I'm not saying execution and/or play calling can't be better on 3rd down. They can. But with the small sample size of 4 games, perhaps it's not as bleak as we think and can show improvement.

Honestly Josh is one of those guys that are just sickeningly good at whatever they try. Like I would GUARANTEE the first time her tried bowling he broke 150 and had a turkey.

I'll agree that Allen could have been ruined by the Jets. But I also think much of the reason for his success was his inner desire to improve and the work he did with Jordan Palmer. I don't think Palmer gets enough credit for Allen's progression.

He's a 6'5" almost 240 pound man that can run through you, around you, over you or leap you. He may even be the world's first human/buffalo hybrid. Someone need to check his DNA. He can throw passes that make you look silly. And he will tell you all about it. I'd hate him if I had to play him too. Could you imagine the alternate timeline where the Jets actually took him instead of Sam Darnold? We would hate the dude so much.

That paper has been on the downswing since Larry Felser retired.

While you're correct in saying that NFL teams have to take each other seriously and not overlooking opponents....that doesn't have a darn thing to do with how FANS are allowed to view things. I also agree that basing your enjoyment level on a Super Bowl win is absurd. Mainly because we have no hand in the outcome. Even a day where the good guys lose in the scoreboard can be a fantastic day spent with friends and family making memories. So while it's ok to have fun win or lose and just enjoy the wonder that is Josh Allen and this version of the Bills....it's really ok to have independent thoughts about how they could be better. How and where they improve. There's no sense in gatekeeping how others view the game. So, perhaps after spending my life watching 4 straight Super Bowl losses and 17 years of missing the playoffs, it's reasonable that come Sunday's nowadays, I go into the game with expectations. Because this franchise has become that good.

Milton Williams being out would be really good for us.

Agree. He's the worst one on the Thursday night panel by far. I disliked Richard Sherman as a player, but even he's pretty good as a talking head IMO.

Wooden? Bah, that thing is gonna cause splinters. Couldn't even spring for something like carbo fiber? Ralph....uh ...I mean Terry is cheap.

I really like Whit. Good in front of the camera and comes across as an overall likable dude. Would definitely drink a beer with that dude.

I was pretty vocal last week on having Gore active against the Saints to see what he could do. I stand by that. The thing about the RB position is you earn snaps and carries based on performance. Not only in games but in practice and the film room. His usage would suggest he has not done that. There are backs that need a few touches to get into the flow of the game and he may be one. Unfortunately, that's not going to happen when you play behind a guy like Cook. So find someone that doesn't need that. We NEED someone that can absorb 5-8 touches a game to lighten Cooks load. But those touches have to be positive plays...not whatever it is Davis is doing. We have now had Baby Gore in the building for over a year. I'd say let him show what he can do.

Yes. Obviously, KJ Hamler is the key.

Through 4 games I see no reason to switch back to Bass. And with how he's done here so far this year if we do make the switch and cut Prater, with the way kicking goes around the NFL he will be on another teams roster fairly quickly IMO. I wouldn't risk it. Keep Prater. Give Bass the chance to fully heal. Next year, bring in a kicker to compete with Bass. At the very least it saves wear and tear on his hip.
