Ethan in Cleveland

Its a complicated question. We see when it works but typically we don't see all the times you get burnt blitzing. Now perhaps that completion would happen with or without blitzing. I'm in the camp if you can generate just a few more negative plays on defense its ok to give up a few more splash plays by the opposing offense. Our defense is death by a thousand cuts and just hoping the opponent bleeds out before we do. One strip sack or pick 6 can change the entire game. One 25 yard completiongiven up probably not so much. That said, they were rushing Miller against their RT and he was bull rushing most of the time. Would be nice to see a bit more creativity. The Milano sack was as much about Miller looping inside as it was about the blitz.

Its a 45 min flight. Takes less time to drive to the stadium. I did find it odd that they had the players drive to Orchard Park only to take a bus to the airport. Seems like it would have been easier to just have them show up at the airport

First Gilliam is not good at being a FB. You are correct many teams carry a FB - this article https://www.sportsrec.com/290825-drills-for-football-fullbacks.html states 19 out of 32 that have a FB under contract. Some unbelievably have two. So 13 teams out of 32 agree with me.

Gilliam sucks but sometimes the defense makes plays too. Both things can be true. Its beyond stupid to carry a FB on a NFL roster. And please don't tell me he can play TE too. That's nonsense. The modern way to play is with two or three TEs and you just line up a #2 or #3 TE as an Hback.

The drops are real. Just like with Knox it is so infuriating because they make the super difficult catch look easy. He's a great #2. And dirt cheap. We are lucky he has been so good. I'd still prefer coaxing Sanders out of retirement over OBJ and his bad knee if they really want to make a move to help the WR group.

Agree I don't see it, but Detroit has won three in a row and gets a beat up Bills team on national TV. As with most opponents of the Bills, it will be Detroit's SuperBowl to beat Allen on national TV. Bills need to be prepared for their best effort.

Especaily since the best ST player they have was acquired via trade two weeks ago. Jones, Matakevich, and Kumerow have no place on an NFL roster especially when you carry Gilliam at FB and Sweeney as whatever he does for the team. I can live with one of those three but not all three. I now they only play 2 LBs most of the time, but look what happens when either of them are hurt. The linebacker play is terrible. As for addressing depth, Beane targeted the offense by retaining Bates, signing Saffold, signing Howard (didn't work out but felt it was s good gamble)and bringing back McKenzie. If White had not gotten hurt I'm sure last draft first round would have been OL or WR. He tried to get a pass catching RB in free agency but the player changed his mind and then Beane took Cook. I would have gone WR or OL instead of Cook but it addressed a slight need. I hope next year's draft is WR, OL, OL and safety in no particular order. Obviously FA will affect that but they really should be going heavy on offense next year. They need a young WR for insurance incase Davis is too expensive to keep and no Shakir is not that guy.

Davis has had drops but he has also made some amazing plays. If you think that teams have depth all over the place you are just wrong. Look no further than your example of KC. They lost both starting OTs in the playoffs a couple years ago and that cost them a SuperBowl. Look what Buffalo did to KC secondary after Matheiu was hurt in the game. Virtually no team can withstand the injuries the Bills have and have the record they do. Rejoice in the fact that we have Josh Allen and hope that his 2 and 1/2 game slump is over.

All due respect to Gonzalez, Gronk, and Newsome, but Kelce is the best TE in NFL history. He is unstoppable.

No team looks unstoppable all four quarters of every game. During the game I said McD did not have them ready to play. But as the game evolved the team responded under adversity as well as it has in any game I can remember. Yes it was the Browns but the Browns are closer to a 6-3 team than you think.

Seems to me they are leaving Taron Johnson on an island to help the outside guys. Even then the safeties are rotating over late. McD and Frazier have mixed it up with some man coverage. But still for the most part they are a zone coverage team on third down and opposing offenses seem to be able to line up their #1 WR against the Bills weak point. Maybe that is just coincidence. I would be fine if they only rushed 3 and dropped 8 on some of these really long distances. The Milano blitz worked but they got beat on the blitz yesterday too. Get White, Edmunds, and Rousseau back and things will get better.

I think this was one of McDermott's finest moments. I have long been a skeptic that he will be good enough to win a SB. Today I thought there was a chance he could have lost the team and the season. The defense was getting gashed and our superstar QB was playing scared. The superstar WR was coming off the field obviously upset at how the game was going. His calm nature served the team well today. Yes we all snipe at his clapping but it was precisely what the team needed today. Instead of getting into a shouting match with Diggs or dismissing him to the bench, he spoke to him like an adult. No one will know what was said, but you could tell from Diggs reaction he felt heard and understood. That is a trademark of great leadership. When the Bills hoist the Lombardi trophy at the end of the year, the season recap will highlight this game and that moment that turned around the season!

Better yet Josh didn't force the ball to him on the first play after the conversation like Lofton suggested. Josh kept taking what defense was giving.

Well if you are going hypothetical you have to remember those dropped TD were on the same drive so it really was only a 4 point difference if they caught one of them

They scored 31 points. WTF do you want

Why is Miller out there??? Play any stiff at DE.

Also means no red zone turnovers...

I know I'm a broken record but I ask as I have for multiple seasons, why is Gilliam on this roster??? He is really not good.

Bernard small enough to go low and fall on the ball. Nice draft pick Beane. That is 5th level chess

Wow these refs are terrible but they got that call correct

OPI missed

Lofton is a moron. If Rousseau and Epenesa weren't hurt Miller would be on the sideline watching up 18 with 4 min to play

Chubb misses Edmunds at MLB...lol

Pick 6 here by Milano
