Well that’s what happens when your RB has 146 yards at 13.3 a pop !

Cook is taking Rico Dowdle to school

Nah, I will. I’m not doom & gloom like 75% of this board. I’m enjoying the greatness in the moment and having hope

Cook is going to propel Allen to a championship the way Terrell Davis did for John Elway. This is insane production

Taron Johnson got torched. Thankfully Dalton overthrew it.

Go arrest them.

Josh absolutely obliterated that defensive end’s ankles.

Nah. A running back def would not have 80+ yards in ONE quarter under Dorsey.

Why rush 1st down ? Run the clock out and have more time to draw up a better play.

Initially didn’t, but Looked like he was in to me on the last replay.

I’m glad someone got the reference

That was a gorgeous strip. Text book

Allen’s outlet was wide open on 2nd down. He missed him horribly. That would’ve been time to beat the blitz

I’m happy we deferred and got a 3 and out. Then scored points. Even if it’s 3, I’ll take it. The defense is what I am most worried about.

What the hell is even that ?

2 different picks and 2 different years. He is twice the prospect Elam was. I should correct myself. There is no way Maxwell Hairston would be a healthy scratch on the 2025 Bills defense.

Hairstons rookie progress will define the season. I hope they bring him a long slowly, but I don’t think that’s going to be possible when facing the Chiefs. The Bills truly need all hands on deck. All of Bills Mafia should keep a close eye on this game.

Absolutely no way in heck would a 1st round rookie CB ever be a healthy scratch on this putrid defense. I bet you he’s not even fully healthy yet, but McDermott is so desperate for a spark at corner they’ll take the ups & downs of a rookie and hope his elite athleticism can cover some mistakes/ big play ability.

People get too caught up in positions and having only one of a certain thing. NFL offenses are very complex. To me, a football player is a football player. Keon Coleman to me just seemed like a reached/forced EJ Manuel type of pick. And the whole “looks like Tarzan, plays like Jane” thing. Garbage pick. Maybe Beane can get a conditional 6th for him next offseason if he’s lucky. 😆

RANDOM THOUGHTS BEFORE GAME Bills win this one comfortably. The attention on them has been largely negative for the past 2 weeks. Despite what the players/coaches say, they do listen to what’s being said. It is so important for the Buffalo Bills to establish an early lead. This is the key to their success for the entire season. If your defense can’t stop their RBs then let your offense stop them. I think (hope) Brady opens things up a bit more. We’ll see an offense w/ more James Cook in the pass game and heavily featuring Tight Ends. Keon Coleman needs to be phased out of the offense. More throws down the middle of the field. We need Josh to consistently extend plays and give receivers more time to get open. Also big scrambles up the middle. Vintage Josh Sprinkle some James Cook runs in there, but don’t fight fire with fire. The Panthers will be trying to keep Allen OFF of the field. Brady needs to MAXIMIZE drives. This is what you do against Mahomes, not Carolina. final prediction: 34-17 BILLS

I think this is the best news of the month. So glad it wasn’t for the Chiefs. Better to have Hairston take on Dalton/Young than a motivated Mahomes.

Hard to get interceptions when teams are running it down their throats every week. Here’s my 2 steps to fixing this problem. 1) Score fast and early 2) Rush the passer

Decent #2, but I think Buffalo is much better overall in the TE department. Kelce is washed and Gray has never really taken that next step people thought he would to replace him. Hawes gives the Bills so much more versatility because he can block as well as a linemen. I feel like Knox has lost a step, but could still be deadly if Brady knew how to use him. If Kincaid could just stay healthy he has big time potential. No one has elevated themselves as Allen’s go to receiver. I also don’t understand why the offense itself is not centered more around the TEs, one of the bigger strengths of the team. Joe Brady needs to go watch some old Gronk/Hernandez footage to see how to use multiple TEs and a WR room full of slow slot receivers.

Noah Grays got zero TDs on the year and 9 total in 4 1/2 years.

Welp, what are you gonna do ? We have a punchers chance with Josh Allen and Cook. I’m not giving up on the season. The Bills need to A) get in the playoffs B) get hot. That’s it. We just have to hope the Bills can coast on their offense to win enough regular season games and hope McDermott figures out the Safety position by the postseason. Very uncharacteristic of him as he usual gets the most from his defensive backfield. I don’t play fantasy football so I couldn’t care less about stats & rankings. The good thing is the AFC is just a bunch of very good teams, but no one really jumps out as “elite” to me YET.
