Just restocked the deep freeze with 200lbs of local beef yesterday. It's a dry white meat at Mom-in-law's today (I'm no longer allowed to fry turkeys at T'giving cuz then nobody eats her bird:-) but fresh fat steaks tomorrow!

I won't disagree with you about his talent or his skillset, but I still have less than zero interest seeing him in a Bills uniform. I think he's dumber than a bag of hammers. I think he lacks any sort of resiliency or grit. I think the fact that he regularly displays the petulancy and reliability of a 9 year-old is a raucously flapping red flag that makes me not want him anywhere near the Bills locker room.

1) Dave Wannstedt - We knew it would be a conservative defensive primarily focused on gap control but I had no idea it would be this passively vanilla. Not a close second 2) Marcel Dareus - Should be whipping way more asses than he has been. 3) George Wilson - Has become a JAG who's losing snaps to less able players 4) George Catavalos - SGilmore's technique is beyond atrocious, both AWilliams and GWilson have regressed and it still seems like nobody is coaching Leodis. Catavalos is halfway out the door. 5) Donald Jones & TJ Graham - This team desperately needs more quality WR's and neither of these guys has done anything to separate themselves from a below average pack.

Calling two of the most established and well-respected members of this board liars is not likely to end well for you.

Fair enough; he's talented and driven enough to have carved himself out a nice little NFL career. But the amount of effusive praise I've been seeing strikes me as a little bit outsized for what he really is. Far better than I could have ever put it. Thank you

Everybody wants us to jam it up in there on 3rd/short, but the back is not the problem, imo. Despite Chan's excellent design, teams do not fear the Bills air attack because our WR corpse is just awful, we only have 1 marginal TE and Fitz is a gutty top level backup. As a result opposing defenses are wildly attacking the LOS with little fear of what's going on behind them; watch that game tonight (or any week) and look how much pressure teams throw into the trench on every down, especially short yardage downs. This OLine is not built to overpower people, it's built with smart agile guys who understand angles and sustain blocks in space. They simply do not have the personnel to line up and knock people off the ball and it doesn't really matter which back they try to do it with. Hell, I think Brad Smith is a very crafty short yardage ballcarrier but even when you go Wildcat and play for a number advantage (that you still don't really get) we still have to fight to get that yard.

A pass rush specialist with 2 sacks in 4 years? That might be a bit of a stretch.

I'm so goddamned handsome I don't need a nose. You are fortunate not to have the same problem

I wouldn't call it being a downer; it's been obvious for a long time that you understand what you're watching and you're just being accurate and a realist. I really appreciate the kids effort and I'm happy for him that he's been able to keep a job in this league and make himself some scratch. But he's a non-factor in the run game and is usually well-handled by NFL OT's.

Shame on me but I just don't know what so many people are seeing in this guy. He's been getting a ton of snaps this year and rarely produces tackles or pressures. He's been in the league since '08 and he's averaged about 1 tackle a game and has a career total of 2 sacks in 4 years He might serve as decent depth until we can find a younger player with more upside, but he's just filler in this league

Probably like a completely different guy if his OLine hasn't got him killed by then He really took an ass-whipping tonight, didn't he?

Never. I'd rather miss the postseason than root for them

Ooof..... Not what I was hoping for Although watching a lot of Stillers games I became familiar with Bruce Arians and I'm not too worried about that anyways.

That's the first QB I've really seen look uncomfortable against teh Bills D all year and he was that way right from the get go. Probably rookie jitters from a youngster lacking confidence on a short week of prep

Who do we have next week to get back to within a game of .500 after a 10 day break?

That first play was George Wilson's fault; he took a horrible angle that ran him right out of his own zone

Thank gawd. Now you can watch a miami possession that never should have happened

Thats the 3rd/short dive to Spiller into a stacked house that you guys have been crying for all night

wildcat on 3rd/short? I want to see the board meltdown

This is a great Scott Chandler down

Yeah I hope he jams it into a 9 man front 3 times so we can punt it back to them with 1:40 left

probably; it was too sick a catch not to It will get reviewed and miami doesn't have to risk one of those timeouts they desperately need

if he caught that its an obscene play

I want to see everybody physical at the LOS from sideline to sideline

That Moore's fault He hasn't shown me much of anything this year
