I think this is a valid discussion point from the game. The Bills DL didn’t have much impact against the Steelers, and dominated against Miami. Against a strong Washington OL, the individual numbers and splash plays from out DL did not appear to be there. So it made a lot of fans wonder whether the DL was really good or if they just feasted on a weaker Miami OL

Why was that? Did the line just not get any push? Or was Heineke getting rid of the ball. I don’t remember seeing many blitzes so my guess is that we dropped the maximum amount of players in coverage and let the DL rush with 4

LOL I wouldn’t go that far but I think the Brady vs. Belichick debate is looking more and more one-sided each week

I haven’t watched him much this season but in the preseason he looked good and made Tyler Kroft look like an All-Pro

Assuming that his career continues to ply out the way it has, the Bills have a REALLY tough decision when it comes to re-signing him and I think it will come down to money. In a perfect world, I have no doubt that the the team would want to bring him back. The problem is, he’s likely going to a demand a top tier LB contract. I could be wrong but I don’t think the Bills will give him that kind of deal - especially when Josh’s contract kicks and other players like Diggs get new deals. Of course, he has two years to change the narrative but if I had to put money on it, I’d bet that he continues be to a good, not great MLB He did some good things but also missed a big tackle and was out of place in coverage. Overall I’d say Edmunds is solid but he doesn’t seem to make the big game changing plays that Milano or even Tauron Johnson has this season.

Yeah Houston hasn’t forced NFL to make a decision on Watson. The trade would probably force them to make a decision

I hope this isn’t true because Watson fixes a lot of Miami’s issues.

There’s no point in signing Josh Gordon. I’m not really sure if better than any of the top 5 WR’s on the roster at this point in his career, and he doesn’t play special teams. IMO a perfect addition (on paper) is Richie Incognito. He’s a solid veteran guard and has largely been praised as a teammate since leaving Buffalo. His play is good and he would help mentor some of our younger players. Of course reality is he left the Bills on terrible terms, and I can’t see the Bills trusting him enough to bring him in. Also it wouldn’t make sense for Oakland to trade him. But a player like that is what the offense needs before a Josh Gordon

There is something beautiful about the MNF lights on that bright green astroturf. The Monday night atmosphere in Buffalo was always rocking

It was an amazing game to watch. One of my good friends has season tickets. He filmed the very of the game once Buffalo won and you could see the people in the row ahead of him legit tearing up in celebration. I remember feeling certain that 2011 was the year that the streak would be broken….

Congrats to Shady if correct. He was a great Buffalo Bill and probably the biggest reason why they made the playoffs in 2017

Yep no problem with that, because it’s for a good cause. It’s more along the line of “people are knocking the Bills, so let’s raise money for charity in their name” that I don’t love

This was a pretty cool and organic gesture from the Bills fan base. It got a little old when Bills fans started to do the same thing whenever anyone trashed the fan base or when the Bills owned Lamar. I’m all for charity and giving back but there were plenty of good causes in Buffalo - including Josh Norman’s venture - that didn’t get as much support

Ryan Talbot’s house

Hell no. There’s at least 58,000 season ticket holders. 700 is nothing and actually I’m surprised the number isn’t higher.

I think so too. I’m not a fan of establishing a running attack but I think they need to run more time when facing a lighter box, especially when facing a strong pass rush

Peyton is actually really good at describing what’s happening on the field - especially with the QB’s and play calls. He’s kind of entertaining too and would make a great game analyst Eli is ok. He talks less and tries to make jokes at his brothers expense. I feel the show is missing a host to keep things moving and balance out the conversations between the Manning’s and the guests but overall it’s cool to watch.

I was watching the Manning’s during the game tonight and the was that Detroit defended Rodgers was almost the same as defenses are doing with Allen - dropping 7 or 8 with 2 players deep. Peyton talked about the importance of a check down game or calling a running play. He said that playing that type of defense is basically saying “we don’t think you’re patient enough to check it down and will force it in double coverage.” I think that Beasley and Sanders could be really helpful here

About the same amount for Levi Wallace’s dirty “taunting” penalty

I’m bummed because now we don’t get to hear Bills fans embellish Tyrod’s stint at QB and how he singlehandedly broke the streak! Seriously though, just another terrible break for Tyrod. Between a bad situation in Buffalo, and injuries at every stop since, his career has been very unlucky The Texans? Or the Dolphins?

I think fringe wild card is Tua’s ceiling as QB. I think that if your team is good everywhere else he can take you to the playoffs. But I don’t think the team goes anywhere

If you take the 2nd quarter out of the mix yesterday, Allen ended up with a decent day.

It’s not a perfect comparison given the college careers and draft status but there are similarities. Fans really want Tua/EJ to succeed and will make a million excuses for him, despite the fact he doesn’t really pass the “eye test” and it doesn’t seem the org is 100% behind him. The funniest argument from Miami fans was using Tua’s 7-3 record as starter as evidence why he is a better QB than Justin Herbert. It’s funny but Fitzpatrick won one of those starts for him and the Miami defense won the other 2 with a turnover to end the game.

Do you think the score is any closer or that Miami capitalizes on some of the empty 2nd quarter trips to the red zone? I know the sample size was small but it seems like Tua was a deer in the headlights and while his OL did him no favors I think his head was spinning with the free blitzes that were coming through

This is what I’m thinking. You give him time to show his potential. If he doesn’t, then don’t re-sign him to a big contract
