  1. Tre could never run with the fastest guys in the league. He has looked as good as I expected him. I was really impressed when he pass defensed that quick out on third and short last week. It was great anticipation and awareness. That's his best play since returning. His worst play was probably that long completion that Fields hit to Jones on the first play after the Davis fumble. That ball should have been an INT. It was floated out there and hung in the air forever. White showed no explosion after tracking the ball. All that said, If I was Cinci I would test him deep. I don't think he can run with Chase and if the Bills leave him on an island that is dangerous.
  2. OP, can you explain why the 2nd INT was not an unforced error? Allen missed a wide open Cook and sailed the ball over his head to the LB. Just because Allen blamed the wind doesn't mean it was not an error. Agree with your assessment this week of Brown. He was solid again. Saffold is regressing terribly in pass blocking. He started the year ok but is now getting consistently beaten especially to his right side between the G-C gap and right into Allen's face. At least that is what I am seeing though I have spent more time watching Brown than Saffold.
  3. Ok that never happened. They tried Ford at RT his rookie year and he was terrible. He was ultimately benched in favor of Nsekhe. The following year he was moved to Guard but got hurt and only played 7 games. They brought in Williams to play RT and he was great for one year then regressed terribly the second year as a BIll after signing a big off-season deal. Williams was moved to RG mid-season where he played reasonably well.
  4. AJ has had 3 maybe 4 good games in his entire career. He rightfully is last man off the bench now. Lawson is outplaying him by far. I will say he had a decent game against the Bears after another non-existent game the week before. Is he better than Basham? Maybe but that is a really low bar.
  5. He was never great in preseason. I would have kept him over Kumerow but that is the only guy he would have ever taken reps from. No way was he making the roster over Crowder who beat out McKenzie for the starting slot spot. He's 77th in YPC at 10.6 YPC which is more like a TE stats not an outside WR.
  6. Bass has been solid. A starting CB is probably more valuable than a PK. Even the worst PKs make the majority of their kicks so you can argue his value above replacement isn't that much. Really not trying to take away from Bass as he is very good and probably ahs the chance to be with us the longest. However in terms of immediate impact, I would say Jackson being able to start last season and this has kept the Bills D competitive. Not sure why everyone has turned on Davis. He has nearly 800 yards as WR#2. Not long ago we would have been happy if WR#1 got 800 yards. He doesn't seem as focused as last year. I really didn't like how he did not fight for the PI in the end-zone last week. He has more drops than in the past but he still has some amazing sideline and contested catches - ie. Steelers game vs an All-Pro FS. So I guess I would say for me the order right now is, Jackson, Davis, and then Bass. But in 3 years time I can easily see Bass being the only guy left on the Bills' roster from this class.
  7. No proof but just seemed like this guy was more steroid than athlete. Probably a first ballot HOF inductee because before the injuries set in he was being compared to LT in terms of dominance on the defensive side of the ball.
  8. Cmon I'm a Josh homer but he had two brutal INTs. Against Cincinnati or KC that could cost the Bills the game. He needs to be better.
  9. Our RBs are so odd. They both have high YPC and for Singletary he has done that multiple seasons. That said, I don't trust either one of them to pick up a 3rd and 1, break a tackle, or run away from anyone. They both seem to have very good vision though. CJ Spiller had the worst vision of any RB I've ever watched in a Bills uniform but may have been as athletically talented as all but OJ. Cook and Singletary read blocks reasonably well and have that little sudden burst in the hole. Maybe Cook has the speed to break away from guys but we've only seen it on a few runs.
  10. Unreal. The one guy that probably needs to be observed more than any other and they miss it again.
  11. Holy hell. If this is true what the hell happened during the game to allow him to keep playing??
  12. Same way Adam Gabe did. Be named the OC with a HOF QB that covers up all your mistakes.
  13. Nobody says Beane and McD suck. Literally no one. But don't act as if they are not infallible. They make mistakes just like every other HC and GM.
  14. I switched from white hat to red hat at half-time. I was thinking about this thread when I did it.
  15. Beane signed Frank Gore a few years ago so I'm not sure how you justify your first sentence.
  16. As it stands now Bills get they bye and Miami would play KC and Chargers would play Bengals. Those could be two upsets which would then set up Bills Miami 3rd game in division round, and Chargers then beat the winner of Baltimore/Jags. All of this sets up perfectly for my prediction of Bills Chargers in AFC Championship in Buffalo. To be clear I had Chargers winning the AFC West not a WC team, but I still like my chances. For the life of me I can't remember who I picked in the NFC. I'm too lazy to go back and search for it. Maybe Dallas / Tampa in NFC Championship???
  17. Wagner everything Edmunds is not
  18. Yeah right. Peterman is still cashing checks. Wilson is white. Only black QBs get run out of the league that fast.
  19. At least he used his TOs correctly this game.
  20. Lol. If they had drafted Herbert, Flores would still be the head coach.
  21. I hate the Fox crew except Howie. Really disrespectful of the moron host to not even be able to pronounce Tua's name.
  22. Groot and Lawson are playing well. Basham and Epenesa are doing enough to not hurt the team. As others said Epenesa was invisible last week and was decent against the Bears. I like stats but his 6.5 sacks seems like one of those stats that doesn't tell the whole story of how he plays.
  23. Tua sucks so bad. Really nice play by Packers for that DB to continue to drop and not chase Hill.
  24. Jumping Offside really helped the Dolphins. It probably saved 30 seconds of clock that Green Bay could have used while getting the first down on 2nd and 1.
  25. Well yes but I was commenting on the last drive. Using the TO then was wrong too. They should have just run a play and not wasted the down.
