Florida Bills Fanatic

I was thinking that they're more like JESTS fans but I'm okay with the Raiders.

I was mildly impressed with Tyrod in the first quarter of his game. Clearly, Houston will be a train wreck but Tyrod won't be the reason. I wish him well. He's a class act.

It might be O-BLAH-DEE or O-BAH-DA. I'll ask Paul McCartney....

Excellent breakdown of the game. I think you nailed it. It's great that you take the time to do this for all of us. I was a bit surprised by the burst shown by Singletary. He hit the hole quickly and decisively. That was missing last season. Their best running plays were the draws, dives and traps. When they tried to run the outside stretch plays, they went nowhere. This o-line is not very good at a zone blocking scheme. They are best at straight ahead, hat on a hat power blocking. It was clear that the younger db's struggled playing in the complicated Mc'D zone. There were several apparently blown assignments. There will be lots of teaching moments for them in the video from the second half.

A lot of people had it initially wrong on Allen but they still want to talk about his first season and a half. What they don't want to talk about was the poor state of the roster at that time. The second half of the second season improved because some of the additions to the offense started playing well together. Allen was part of that improvement and benefitted from the improvement of others. Allen's work with Jordan Palmer apparently had a huge impact in year three. Allen deserves the credit for putting in the work and making the improvement. It kills some people in the media to admit that they had it wrong with Darnold, Rosen, and to a lesser degree Mayfield. Cowherd is the kind of guy that acknowledges when he was wrong. He also calls things as he sees them without mincing words. I listen to his show when I can.

That's correct but he flushed the game by himself with a notably horrible flurry of bad play. The opposite of our favorite 77 seconds of football.

Not when your guy can throw rockets and the visitors send out a noodle arm to play QB. Wind and cold weather separate real QB's from the wanna be's.

I thought Bennett was a head case coming out of college and was a "me first guy". Bills were loaded with team first guys and I believed he would create a problem. Fortunately, none of that happened.

I was at the game with more than a couple of cold "pops" consumed and ticked off because I felt the Bills had played poorly. I also hadn't been on board with the Bennett trade. Two minutes later, I was back on the bandwagon and denying that I had ever doubted the wisdom of the trade. The best part of the whole thing was watching Elway on the sideline when their game fell apart. Unfortunately, I was also present in London when E.J. gave Bills fans the exact opposite game experience. I believe it took him only slightly more than 77 seconds to give the game to Jacksonville. Luckily, there was a great pub down the street from our hotel.

Looks to me that they're just trying to keep pace with the JESTS. Maybe it's just a Meadowlands thing. Either way I agree that they are run very poorly.

It is common for GM's to interject themselves into some negotiations for the sole purpose of driving up the price that other teams have to pay. I don't know whether or not that was Beane's intention but I would not be surprised if it was. I believe Beane is fairly strategic in his actions and sees things much differently than the average fan.

Houston has had some very good seasons but has slowed down significantly. His work against the run hasn't been good at all. His signing looks like a move to add some depth in hopes of getting some rotational work out of him. I don't picture him being a high snap count player anymore. Seems like $4 m is a reasonable gamble to take.

I think he uses some foot in mouth therapy on a regular basis.

Ertz seems to have picked a strange alias. Where did he come up with "Bug"? I guess he's desperate to sneak past the mods. Just sayin'

Just when the Jests fans think they are crawling out of the bottom of the league, stuff like this keeps happening. The longer this goes on, the better it is for the Bills. Their front office keeps demonstrating a degree of ineptitude that is increasingly difficult to understand. On the other side of this, the Wilson kid needs to understand that his success in the league is not guaranteed. Rookies as talented as him have failed in the league because they didn't take full advantage of their opportunity. Missing time in training camp is not on the road to being successful.

I can't say that I disagree with you but the fact that John Miller is still on an NFL roster tells me that Cody Ford may have some surprising value. Ford has been banged up for a good part of his time in Buffalo and that may have had some impact on his game. In addition, young players have a lot of trouble with zone blocking schemes and Ford really struggled with it. I expect him to see a bunch of preseason playing time as an audition for a potential trade. I do expect him to be gone before the start of the regular season unless there a bunch of o-line injuries.

I don't really care whether either one of these two clowns ever play in a game ever again. It seems that the Packers won't be inclined to do anything to help these guys move on to another team. They also don't seem to be afraid to let things run their course. They can hold Rodgers through the term of his agreement and can go the franchise tag route with Adams next year. The players can undertake an expensive hold out, retire, or report and cause trouble. I still believe that all of this is mostly about Rodgers wanting to control when he leaves GB and wanting to pick his new team ( like Brady). I'm just glad that Buffalo doesn't have this kind of thing going on.

This time of the year, sports writers need to stick with decaf. Never forget that they are trying to sell stories, clicks, and advertising. Much of the ongoing drama is much ado about nothing. Rodgers won't walk away from $35 M, Thomas won't miss a significant number of games, Henderson will be just fine for the Rams, and SF won't have a mass exodus to IR like last season. Tampa Bay may or not win the NFC but it won't be a cake walk. They were lucky to avoid a bunch of injuries. They may not be that lucky two years in a row.

I've been to a lot of Bills games in different cities and have seen a bunch of seriously bad confrontations with fans from other teams. The worst places for me have been Philly, Meadow Lands (Jets), Miami, and KC. It doesn't surprise me that some nut cases take things to this kind of crazy extreme. It's sad that two lives were lost/ruined by this. For what it's worth some great visiting fan venues for me have been Indy, Nashville, Cincinnati, and Jacksonville. I found their hometown fans to be cool with fans from visiting team.

You've got that right. Apparently wanted to take it easy during training camp and underestimated the recovery time. Just another case of paying a guy and having him check out. If this had been a contract year for him, I would bet the surgery would have been done months ago and he would be in the rehab process. The Saints need their few remaining top end talent guys to carry the load this season and Thomas does this. This is why a lot of owners don't like paying high end contracts.

Let's see how this runs its course before throwing the guy out of town. If the Bills end up having a bunch of guys missing games because of unvaccinated players, the pressure inside the locker room and the front office will force some action. There are a relatively few players on the team that are not expendable. Cole is not one of them. I'm hoping that common sense will prevail and the players either get vaccinated or comply with the negotiated protocols. If they do neither, then I'm okay with the league dropping the hammer on them in the form of fines and suspensions. Lots of people talk big until it's time to back it up.

Eric may have been the best pure athlete to play in Buffalo. The front office hit a home run when they drafted him but failed to put even an average team on the field for a good part of his career. I hate to see a great player wasted like that. I was lucky enough to see most of the home games during his time in Buffalo. Opponents always gave him a lot of attention but most times it did not matter. He made contested balls luck easy.

Whether people believe it or not, AP is probably packing his bags. He still seems to have more gas in the tank than the rest of the free agents out there. I also expect some guys to be released that may have one year left in them.

I believe 12-5 is likely but wouldn't be shocked to see 13-4.

Bills don't need to waste a roster spot that could be better used to look at a young player. He's a great guy but it's time for him to move on.
