Elam a healthy scratch part deux (now part TRES) (now part QUATRO)

Yes, as the season wore on he improved -

I think it's likely we will get burned over the top by Hill or Waddle at some point. But to me that is preferable to sitting back and watching Miami complete 10-15 yard slants at will all game where Tua gets the ball out almost immediately after taking the snap -

Fleezoid is right. Elam actually looked good in real games last year when given the opportunity. You are not going to have a prayer of slowing Miami down playing soft. The ball is coming out too quickly and their receivers are too fast. Incorporating some press coverage, while riskier, offers a better opportunity to get home against Tua by making him hold the ball just a bit longer. We need to be physical off the line against their smaller receivers, something which Elam excels at. I'll take a few holding penalties in exchange for throwing off their timing -
It's Early of Course but the Schedule Now Looks a Lot Easier

Yeah but I'm order to do that they had to play soft coverage with 3 deep safeties and Mostert was able to run wild. I still can't forget that dude trampling us repeatedly in the snow last December -

Sure Allen will put up his numbers, but can we stop their offense? We better, because a loss in week 4 puts the Bills in a massive hole in the division. Assuming both teams win next week, a Bills loss to the Fins in week 4 would leave Miami 4-0 (2-0 AFC East) and us 2-2 (0-2 AFC East). They would have essentially a 3 game lead with the head to head, which will be very hard to dig out of given the second half of our schedule is much more challenging than the first. And before we say look at last year, the largest deficit the Bills faced at any point (with tiebreakers) was 2 games. The Bills got back into it quickly because Tua got hurt against Cincinnati. If he stays healthy (and I realize its a big if), I'm not sure I like our chances to win the division. Week 4 is pretty close to a must win for the Bills imo -

There's plenty of reason to be concerned about Miami. Their offense looks like the best in the league. They've won 2 consecutive road games without playing Armstead, and that Oline which was supposed to be a weakness has looked reasonably good in his absence. The defense under Fangio should figure to be improved over the course of the year. Have you looked at their schedule the next few weeks? They get Denver at home, at Buffalo, then home against the Giants (without Barkley who is out 3 weeks) and the Panthers. If the Bills don't beat them, the Dolphins are looking at 6-0. Not sure why people underestimate them. They were always the bigger threat to the Bills than the Jets. Unlike New York, they also have a competent coaching staff -
Meanwhile over in Bengal land, there is weeping and gnashing of teeth

Joe Burroughs is the man 💪 -
Unreal. How is that conclusive?
-
Brilliant play calling by the chinhole
-
I'm almost there lol. Fins are going to be a major problem. Don't even want to think about the ramifications of a loss in that week 4 game. Ouch
-
Not me. Whatever helps the Bills more is the only thing that matters
-
Just an alert, the Dolphins are a far bigger threat to the Bills than the Pats. If Miami wins tonight they will be 3-0 going into the Bills game (they play Denver at home next week). That game will then be a must win for Buffalo to avoid falling way behind in the division. Rooting for the Dolphins tonight is just plain stupid
-
Damn. Moved the ball decently on both of their possessions so far and have zero to show for it
-
I love the morbidity in this thread
-
Would've loved to see Denver pull off a miracle. Could have been a major downer for Washington going into next week. Oh well
-
That game next week won't be a gimme. Should be a win, but better come ready to play. They have some pretty good weapons on offense too
-
Dallas sure isn't having a problem moving the ball against the Jets
-
This thread is brilliant
-
Where are all the morons saying Cook stinks and can't break a tackle? Dude has been excellent both games
-
I have no idea who the best teams are. One week (and 2 meh games from the Eagles) is nowhere near enough to determine that
-
Yet again with Swift getting jobbed. He should go up and punch Sirianni in the face lol. Hurts and Mahomes are the kings of BS touchdowns
-
That was such BS. And yes I am starting Swift in fantasy lol
