yes they were 52 and 53 yarders There are some kickers who are much better in that range Bass was 3 of 3 at 50+ prior to Sunday nite 2 of 3 at 50+ last year

And that’s the game.

Oh. My. God. What was that? That was Knoxian

Let’s start by seeing if we can establish some grounds for agreement: I do not think we currently have the same level of offensive talent currently that we had in 2021. We did not do an adequate job of replacing Sanders and Beasley, who were both “on the downhill slide” but better in their respective roles in 2021 than Davis and McKenzie in 2022. We have the potential for a better run game/pass catching RB and a better pass catching TE, but that potential has not yet been realized, That said: do you truly believe that offensive talent was the issue in the Bills missing out on the AFCCG by 13 seconds in 2021? If you do, can you outline your arguements for that belief?

I’ve been favorably impressed by his running prowess tonight I’m thinking we might be correct now though. Almost 4 minutes left and Jags have the ball

I thought so but evidently I thought wrong

Why? His knee was down Correct One (butt) cheek also = two feet

Seriously? He’s gonna get hit regardless so might as well make the catch

I’m starting to get that vibe from them. Their defense looks legit. Still, it is the Saints here.

What the hell was that, Carr? OK, I guess he expected a different route to be run So am I getting this right, the Saints OC has been the Saints OC for 15 years? May be time for a change

With a self-respecting competitive football team, it shouldn’t be But I don’t think we can count on the Saints to help us out with this one. WTF was that playcalling by the Saints on 3rd and 4th down?

I think he looks like a horse. A very talented well-bred horse who is good at football, of course Ewwww.

May I have a fresh tomato on it with pepper and salt?

Huh, I thought their defense is looking pretty solid There is the fumble, and the punt muff miscue of course

Oh, man! Shaheed almost hauled that in!

It’s the county around Jacksonville

Ouch, slammed by your own guy and injured. Friendly fire hurts!

I know, right? Now, he could have meant it a little differently. Like supposing we'd scraped through the Jags game, then the Giants game....I could see saying "we're not winning the right way". As far as I can tell from clips and box score, nothing stood out as unusual or wrong with those 2 Vegas wins. In that context, it does come across as "wahhhh, Meyers and Mayer got more targets than me!"

TBH, if Kincaid put up Henry-like numbers I'd be OK with that. We could use the 30 1D and 8 TD he put up his rookie year.

If you're so tired of this team, could you freakin' go to sleep already?

Pats injury report. Per Sal Capaccio Jonathan Jones was later upgraded to "limited"

Was Ed just ruled out somewhere? This morning, I thought McDermott said he was hopeful he'd be practicing tomorrow.

No. Christian Benford is not on injury report; Dane Jackson was a full participant Both of them are ahead of Lewis and Elam on the injury report Ja'Marcus Ingram has been elevated from the practice squad for the last 2 games with Benford and then Jackson unable to go I imagine they will use his third elevation if Elam can't go. Lewis is an interesting question. I'm not sure how they'd handle it if he can't go; he's kind of their "DB Swiss Army Knife"\ They might have Damar Hamlin active as a ST'er and 4th safety.

To be clear: there are fans micro-analyzing every aspect of the franchise's functionality and decision making. I don't tend to think I'm one of them - at least, I'm not starting threads about who we should fire and opining that this or that player is a bust (that I know of) However, absolutely NO microanalysis or detailed scrutiny whatsoever is necessary for the macro-analysis of what the Bills fans suffered at the hands of the Patriots for Years, And Years. and Years. Then toss in "Just Give it To Them" You get "“Thief, thief, thief! Bill B! We hates it, we hates it, we hates it forever!”

*sigh* this begs the question "what is a real difference maker"? It sounds like the kissing cousin to the question "what do you mean by #2 WR?" Previously we were at "if him doing better doesn't make our team results better, then I gotta think he's not making the team better". Well, he is, clearly, making the Bills team better and has made the Bills team better since he was drafted in the 4th round. But if we're now talking "real difference maker" as in "guy who can totally take over the game if you manage to shut down the #1", we're now into "I'll take teams with two number one receivers, Alex" and the answer "What are Miami, Cincy, Philly, and San Francisco?" If we want to say Gabe Davis isn't Jaylen Waddle, Tee Higgins, Devonta Smith, or Deebo Samuel - well, No. No, on the evidence to date, he's not. Fair enough. He wasn't drafted in the 1st or 2nd round, either. The Bills are trying to get WR Champagne on a Beer Budget, is part of the issue. That, is a very good question.
