That was play of the year by Josh Allen!!!

Tough call on Jenkins. Good letter of the law call. Jenkins had an opportunity to just tag him and certainly avoid his head.

Play action
TE screen to Knox

Chris Meyers is terrible. Johnston is ok

I like commitment to run but how about we give the kid with speed a few carries

Little bit puzzling. You would think they'd want to have McKenzie available in a game where the underneath routes/gadget plays are likely to be emphasized.
Makes no sense but neither did starting Peterman on the road. We fans no so little

Moved this past week. No satellite signal at new house. Trying streaming Sunday ticket for the first time. Will be interesting to see what type of delay. May not be posting in real time as much

Yes generally the offense needs to score more points than the defense gives up...

Eagles inactives look good for us:
WR DeSean Jackson
CB Avonte Maddox
RB Darren Sproles (always kills us)
LB Nigel Bradham (get well XTC!!)
G Nate Herbig
T Jason Peters (hahahahahaha)
DT Tim Jernigan
That is a good list missing. You are right about Sproles. Jackson was not going to be a factor in this wind but without him they have no one that can get deep.
Double the tight ends and man up on the outside WRs.

30 MPH winds. Makes no sense to make Foster active. McKenzie is better with end arounds.
Also why Perry over Yeldon? Again they will need short passing game and screen plays.

Why would you be embarrassed if you do not participate?
Personally, I'm looking forward to this hatchet throwing thing and the videos it will produce.
And, by the way, how do the Bills put an end to Bills Mafia? Closing the stadium down and playing in front of nobody?
Short term - Police the lots, put out a statement no more table jumping, tell the players and coaches no more using the term Bills mafia, don't allow obviously intoxicated people into the stadium
Long term - Build a downtown stadium cut the capacity to 64,000 seats, increase ticket prices and price out the drunken idiots

Do you actually think the Bills mafia is some kind of secret society of table smashers?
No but it is an awful look for the Bills which in the end is an entertainment business that needs to protect its' brand.

They’ll most definitely need a lot of it if they want to re-sign a lot of these guys
No they don't. They already extended Hughes and Hauschka. Poyer and Hyde are under contract.
They have basically said they arent bringing Shaq back with how he is being used. Nsekhe and Feliciano signed two year deals.
That leaves Spain and nobody else.

The season Record is not always the reason GMs are fired.
Beane has been on his role 2.5 years.
In that time hes
- completely resolved the cap.
- Drafted a high potential QB for the offense and the defense.
- solidified the back up QBs position
- put/kept together a top defense with young talent
- rebuilt an offensive line from trash to treasure
- completely overhauled a WR corp, RB room and tight end room
Is the winningest Bills gm since John Butler (that’s 20 years ago folks)
Anyone thinking he’s going anywhere anytime soon for job performance is delusional
He's not going anwhere....
But since you brought it up,
1. He created the cap mess with his trades/cuts
2. So far so good with Allen but still has a long way to prove his is a franchise QB
3. Oline is average but all in all the players he signed have done well. He cant be blamed for Incognito and Wood. But he continued his practice of overpaying for guys(see Star and Murphy) Morse is highest paid center in the league and he barely makes the top 10 in performance. Feliciano is far better than I thought. Nsekhe is below average. Long is a waste of money.
4. WR group is a mess but he had a significant hand in making. He traded away Watkins and traded for KB( a move I thought was good at the time). He made great signing in Brown. Beasley so far is ok.
Don't agree with not picking up 5th year option on Lawson.
Wallace is looking like a great find. Foster not so much anymore. Duke is TBD.
I am admittedly biased to win now mode. They will never have a better schedule, they are relatively healthy, and they have a chance for a deep playoff run in a weak AFC. I don't care about draft picks next year, I want a proven pass rusher and a player that can stretch the defense.

Bills organization needs to put an end to Bills mafia. Its going to turn into a national embarrassment soon. Our fans travel and attend away games perhaps better than any team in the NFL. That is the story to tell. There are Bills fans all over this country and we can make up large percentage of the crowd.

Run the ball early and often. They are ranked low in pass yards but that is a bit skewed based on some big chunk plays. Bills offense has not shown an ability to get those chunk plays.
Run the ball early against inexperienced DT. Against cover zero if you can get past the line there is no second level to prevent a big run.
This is the game Singletary should break out. I'm thinking he gets 15-18 carries for 135 yards.
Once they establish the run then hurt them with play action on deep crosses to Kroft and Knox. Use the WRs to run off the safeties and the middle of the field will be wide open for the tight ends to take advantage. It's the best throw Allen makes.
One worry is pass blocking by Gore and Singletary. I don't think either are any good at it. They will need to step up this week.

How many times will people hire Pats assistants only to see them fail. Colts must be so happy McDaniels pulled out. Brady is in decline and guess what the Pats offense stinks.

Jests aint trading him to Buff or NE.
They won't get comp pick automatically.
But I would welcome his talent.
Don't agree about not trading in the division.
Yes, comp picks are not automatics but they filled many holes with free agents last year. If they re-sign some like Spain and Feliciano(don't recall contract length) they should be able to have a net negative number of free agents.

Terrible. They will look ridiculous.
As above, would love to see the dark blue jersey, white pants, and red helmet as a throwback version once a year.

He's an overpaid space eater that is average at his job with no other player on the roster that has the body type to take the pounding he does.
They overpaid because they wanted Dareus out.
He would be getting less snaps if Harrison wasn't hurt. Now he is getting more. Guys with his body type that can occupy blockers are hard to find. He is just an average football player who is being paid like a top 10 talent. Who cares? It's not affecting the team's ability to sign anyone.
Close the thread.

I think Williams is an upgrade over J. Phillps. Not sure he can replace Star on run downs. I get the sense you could line up Oliver and Williams together in nickel. Not sure if they would work well paired in the base defense.
If it only cost a 3rd, I would make that trade. If he leaves in free agency, they would get a 3rd round comp pick back. Maybe he plays well next to Oliver and they sign him long term. They would have the cap space to do it.
All that said, they need an edge more than another DT.

Im fine with a lottery for the bottom 10 or so.
I don't think they are tanking in the terms of trying to get #1 pick. They are just rebuilding by trading assets to get future assets. Nothing wrong with that.

Trade a conditional 6th and bring him back to AFC East

IMO, Wentz is a one dimensional quarterback in that if you eliminate Zach Ertz as a target for him, that offense struggles mightily. He's poor at distributing the ball. Their Lions and Cowboys games are blueprints on how to do it.
Jalen Ramsey figured out how to guard these elite pass catching TEs. You play them man to man with a CB when they line up outside. No matter how skilled, they can't outrun a DB. Don't take your linebacker or safety to the edge. It leaves you vulnerable up the middle. DBs are comfortable operating in open space. Linebackers are not.
He will get his catches when he lines up tight and the Bills play zone. Just try to limit the third down conversions.

Beat the Eagles in any fashion and the narrative will change dramatically no matter how wounded the Eagles are right now.

Look at that ball move in the wind
