If the Bills go with just two active RBs, Kroft and Sweeney may both be active. Otherwise, I'd expect Sweeney to be inactive.
Knox or Smith goes first, Sweeney has earned his spot.

I am pleasantly surprised by Allen, he's been accurate on short throws and hasn't broken any fingers, I appreciate that.
The Run D has been good overall.
Very few 3 and outs.
Singletary looks good!
Not so pleasant, WRs outside of Brown and Beasley have been nearly invisible.
Not a lot of pressure from the DL.

If this is a dig at Rich Stadium, I boo you loudly.
Sincerely,
Old Man Seasons1992
New Era Stadium is old. The sight lines are wonderful, the tailgate experience is like no other. The creature comforts suck. So its a little dig, but not a serious one.

I'm hoping that the Darnold sickness buys him at least another year. He can blame the kicker for week one. He can blame Greggo along with the Darnold sickness for a while. Hopefully this leads to 0-5 at least. Starting out 0-5 their playoff chances will be pretty much zilch. Hopefully after that he gets some "moral victories" of some kind along the way where he can point to those things as improvements, as long as it is not at our expense of course, and sucker the Jets into giving him another year.
Exactly! We want them to come back and win 7 or so games this year. Enough to show some "growth" and keep him there another season. This Darnold sickness is a huge blessing for the anti Jet fans, this will buy him at least 3-4 games after Darnold gets back and probably the whole season. He might have been fired at mid season and replaced by Williams until the end otherwise.

Would be nice to think that Bills fans are on their way to passing Steelers fans as the best travelers in the NFL.
Gotta see what a real stadium looks like somehow. ?

A lot of homerism here. Mayfield has shown it in college and last year as a rookie, he works hard, has a great arm, can make plays on the run, generally makes good decisions with the ball and WINS. The media got behind him and the Browns, now we have a bunch of people trying to poke holes in him and say Allen is better.
Last year we heard from everyone that Allen's line was the issue, but we're willing to ignore the issues Cleveland is having now when looking at Mayfield.
We heard Josh has "it" and finds a way to win, no matter how ugly, what was the outcome of the game people are freaking out over?
Every week the excuses come in for Josh missing guys that are open. Brown was wide open, for a td, but who cares? We scored on that drive anyway. Mayfield misses OBJ once and now he is innacurate.
The offense sputters here and they are still needing time to "gel", forget that for Cleveland.
C'mon guys, judge with the same standards and quit trying to feel like your qb is clearly better because you are tired of hearing about Cleveland. Most of you sound like jealous school girls defending your boyfriend. As it stands, Allen has had a mediocre game that nobody wants to talk about because it was a win and a solid game. He made improvement from last year, thus far. He was still picked 7th overall, its not like he should be getting a pass for not playing well, the team invested a FORTUNE to draft him, he better be good. Mayfield had a far superior rookie season and started off this year with a pretty mediocre game one, against a team that didn't suck so much they allowed him to recover. Then had an average game, where he shockingly beat the ***** out of the same team Allen barely scraped by in his mediocre game.
Let's breath a second and realize they are both young, both have new weapons and both were high draft picks with lofty expectations. Both are going to wow you at times and both are going to suck at times. It's nice that Allen has picked things up and is progressing. Mayfield will be fine too.

I love the "pay Tre" logic. Tre is good, not elite, you just don't get better by not trying.
-
I hate to say it, but id do it. He's one of, if not the best in the game right now and offenses are passing more than ever, if you want to win this year, the path is through NE.
The O is going as far as Allen does, period. Theres nothing thats going to magically make him better, other than time.
The D needs help to be elite, this guy is an ass, but hes good. Bring him in, pay him, set it up to be out of the deal cleanly in 3 years.

We have a #1 pass defense sans this clown.
Honestly do not care if a player is confident and feels strong in their game, or if they diss every QB in the league, but the attention-craving divas get under my skin.
Check that ranking after the Pats game. Brady will drop 150 and 2tds on Wallace alone.

The Steelers could well pick in the top 10, what a ***** trade. When I first saw Fitzpateick to them, I really thought it was Ryan, that would make sense.

I think as of now it’d look like:
1. Baker
2. Lamar
3. Allen
4. Darnold
5. Rudolph
6. Rosen
Obviously I think this has shaped out to be a pretty darn good group of QBs. I think Allen could potentially be the best QB of that class but I never expected Lamar to be so good, what a shocker! I had to put him #2 but he could simply be hot water, who knows?
I think Lamar will crash and burn when teams follow the blueprint we saw in the playoffs. As of right now, I can't say Rudolph is better than anyone after less than a game.

And the Patriots will have played 2 of those 3 teams. So week 4 will be the first real test for both teams
Lets be real here.. who has something to prove, last year's SB team or the 6-10 team? It will be an indication of how much the Bills have closed the gap, but by no means are the Patriots worried about that game. I would go so far as to say that game doesn't mean much for either team, both want to win, but its game 4 of a long season. It will be a bit of a measuring stick for the Bills, hopefully they compete or win.

2 on the road against any NFL teams (this excludes MIA) is a tough start.
Ravens got @MIA then win a tough one home against ARZ - what are they?
NE is 2-0 against two teams that look like garbage.
I actually think Arizona is a better team then either the Jets or Giants, but the Ravens got them at home, so thats a little break in the right direction for them.
The Ravens are NO Where near as good as people have them rated. They got Miami good.. could have easily lost to Arizona... they are going to get rocked seceral times this year. The bluprint is out there, stop the run, make Jackson beat you through the air. Score points early and they can't come back.
-
I think the Giants have a couple of chances to Win, the Jets look to be in trouble. I'm rooting for them tonight, Cleveland is way more talented and a much bigger threat to take a playoff spot. I wouldn't be shocked to see the Jets get blown out or come out and win, tough to guess which teams will show up.

and you know what the funny thing is, EOBF, I love how no one views that as coming back and winning the game...it's only that the Jets lost it. They had 4 turn overs, how did they lose it? Oh yeah, because that wasn't enough against our D, and our offense then outscored them.
and btw, to Everybody Else, we won that game in the second half because of our D AND BECAUSE of Josh Allen, not in spite of him.
DC, honestly, it is a good point. However, those games were on the road. We were 2-6 on the road last year. We already have two wins this year on the road and i will take that. Throw in Miami (honestly, go ahead) and we will have 3. I think we need just 1 more to make this season work out the way some of us hope.
BTW, did you like those victories any less because they were against the Jets and Giants?
I don't like them less because they were against those teams, the Jets is a big win for playoff hopes, so freebie or not, you need it. Making sure the AFC record is good is going to be a big factor in the wildcard. The Patriots get the same games, I'll chalk thise up for wins for them too. Until the Bills beat the Pats, I'm not convinced they are in the same conversation, so to me, the Bills are playing for WC. The good part, the other divisions are more competitive and SHOULD beat up on each other more. That could be a huge help in tie breakers. The schedule is actually setting up well for the Bills this year. Realistically, they should have 5 AFC wins pretty easily between the Jets, Phins and Cincinnati is not looking good. They have some work to do elsewhere, but nobody outside of the Pats stands out as an unbeatable team. The Pats could fall, but its asking a lot.

Everybody Else: "The Bills will get their due when they start to win."
Some of us: "Yeah, we are winning...we were winning at the end of last year, but we are 2-0 right now."
Everybody Else: "Well...who have you beat, though?"
Some of us: "We beat that one team that you ALL thought was better then us..in their house. Then we beat the team with a 2 time Super Bowl Champion at the helm, who has never lost to us, and a RB that you guys literally cream yourselves over...on road."
Everybody Else: "you have no offense, though, and this is an offensive and passing league."
Some of us: 'We have the 9th overall offense in this league, and we are 15th in passing yards. We are top ten in Offense and Defense."
Everybody Else: "...?...Silly rabbit, Trix are for kids!"
Some of us: "What?!"
To be completely fair and honest, its hard to find an easiernstartnto this season than the one the Bills got. Quite honestly, the first 3 games may very well end up being 3 of the top 6 draft spots.

The Steelers might be alright with Rudolph, he was a solid prospect coming out, he did pretty well yesterday.
The Saints better throw Hill in if its going to be long without Breese. I get that Teddy is the more accomplished player, but my gawd he was awful yesterday. If Hill is what Payton thinks he is, its time to see it, if not, they are staring a top 10 pick in the face if Breese is out for the year.

Not meaningfully.

If Ford wasn't such a good run blocker, I would be much more worried.
In fairness, the Giants did a lot of blitzing this game, especially in the second half. I think that explains a good deal of the pass pro problems.
Ford can road grade, I'm just not sure he has the feet to be outside. Normally, I'd say "kick him inside and let him play guard", but at the moment, the best player on the OL is manning RG, so you would have to flip him to LG and Spain hasn't deserved a demotion either. Hopefully, he can pick it up and prove he can pass block. If they can't stop a blitz/alow it to shut down the O, they will be getting blitzed all year. You know the Pats wont be scared to let it fly, they have DBs they trust, it could be ugly if they don't figure it out soon.

Holding penalty on Morse was a joke.
Yeah, looked like a garbage call, Morse is still having a few little issues, but no TC doesn't help that.

What really struck me was the respect Jenkins was giving him on the nifty comeback he caught on the 98 yd drive down in our territory. Jenkins was off a good 5 yds as they took off down the field.
When was the last time we had a WR that demanded that and then had the ability to stick it in the ground and comeback for the ball?
I noticed it as well, Sammy was the last guy you truly had to respect. It was nice to see.

It probably didnt matter but the only other possible tackler, Knox pushed his guy into that guy, too, effectively blocking two of them. That was a fantastic effort, technique and block, especially for essentially a pass catching rookie TE.
His entire college career was blocking, he also happens to be fast and has potential to be a pass catcher, hence he was a lower pick. He's really good at blocking and missed a perfect throw, so which is he really?
-
How can anybody give that an A? Maholmes put up better numbers by half time. THAT'S what an A looks like.
I have it somewhere around a B minus. His innacuracy on a handful of throws cost points. His ability to step up and make some great throws was alos hard to miss. The execution in the second half played a big part in the slowing down, missed opportunities killed drives more than conservative play calls. I do want to see them come out with a killer mentality and absolutely pour it on a team, theres no prize for being nice, go build confidence and WIN a game, instead of being happy the other team didn't.
-
He's still pretty inconsistent, which one would hope he can clean up. That ball to Smoke was just awful. The McKenzie catch was more than a lot high, and the missed ball to Zay would have been a big play. He's threading some needles and missing water falling out of a boat in the same series at times, I don't know what to think of it.
The accuracy thing will follow him until he does what La?ma?... sorry threw up in my mouth twice.. until he can do what Lamar Jackson is doing. Jackson is hitting wide open guys as they jog into the endzone. I wouldn't trade QBs, but thats what is inflating Jackson's stats. Its the simple things that hes doing and Josh still seems to miss all too often.
-
This line is VASTLY better than last year, but still is struggling quite a bit. Morse has had some penalties, I'll credit more to just getting going in the season.. Dawkins, Ford, Nseke have struggled quite a bit. Spain has been solid Feliciano has been a REALLY great signing. The tackles worry me. They aren't turnstiles like we have seen in captain wind Mills, but certainly not playing to the level they need to in pass pro.

Jacksonville is already imploding, if the Stache can pull out a win its all the better for us. Tenn and Houston are the more likley teams to be in the WC race, Indy could sneak up I guess, but based on today's knowledge, Jax for the win.
By the way, the NFL has ***** the bed hard on both MNF and TNF, at least 1/2 of those games are of zero interest to anybody outside of the team fanbases amd most of the decent games come early in the year when theres not much on the line. MNF is more useless.
