“worst record since 2018.” 🤣 Doom and gloom post. Does it really matter if the Bills are a division winner or a wildcard? Is homefield really THAT big of an advantage? I think we learned the answer to that question last January.

He was pretty bad in 2020. I can’t him doing much this season.

I don’t think it’s as much Cook as it s the OL struggling badly today. There were plenty of plays where Cook had nowhere to go. Maybe the simply should have tried to throw some of those delay runs out of the playbook today

That’s were I am coming from too. The #1 playoff seed is valuable because of the bye. Every other seed is basically the same. I know it’s hard to win 2-3 road games in but it’s been done.

I just want to get into the playoffs. All that matters is getting healthy. The #1 seed and the bye would be great but we’ve seen in years past team knocking the #1 in their own house. If we can’t get #1, I really couldn’t care who or were the Bills play. it’s a new season. Homefield is nice to have but if the Bills are gassed or playing short handed like last season, it doesn’t mean anything. Just get healthy and get in

I can see what you are saying with the inconsistency of the offense. it seems like they are really good or kind of flat. The problem is given where the Bills ranked in offense last season and likely this season, you can make the argument that Dorsey has done a good job. I guess it all depends on what McDermott and Beane think and based on the comments from Beane last season, they seem to very much support Dorsey.

Yes…he’s the hot seat. That’s why they signed him to a contract extension

So much can happen in the final 13 weeks of the season. There’s no guarantee KC or any team stays healthy. One injury to a QB or another high profile player and most teams are screwed

How so?

The Cossell interview was so weird. Right off the bat she started asking him about Jacksonville, without discussing his thoughts on the previous week’s game as usual. Greg was like “whoa have you guys come down from your big win last week already?” It was like he knew that he should be discussing Miami before Jacksonville and he was trying to get her back on track.

Didn’t Von also say the Bills were signing OBJ?

It’s been a long day 🤣

I think the “locker room cancer” storyline is a bit dramatic though I don’t think he goes from being a healthy scratch with horrendous tape this season to suddenly a superstar in Miami. If I’m a Dolphins fan I don’t hate the trade. They are getting Claypool as a rental for next to nothing. If he helps then great. If not, then they didn’t give up much. It seems like a potential low risk/high reward situation. On the other, I don’t really see how Claypool fits in with the Miami receivers. Are you going to take Hill, Waddle, or a route runner like Berrios off the field for Claypool? Is he better than Chosen/Carcraft? Maybe…but we’re talking about WR4 snaps for a player that doesn’t play special teams. Maybe they are thinking he’s a bigger body who might be a red zone target or a WR for 50/50 balls? It’s possible, but then again these aren’t passes that Tua throws a lot of. Passes in the screen game? Claypool is probably the 4th best WR option on the team, maybe 5th if you line Achane at WR. Overall I don’t think he’ll have that big of an impact in Miami but you can’t fault them for trying.

You really do have to rack your brain to find some of these moments.

Good call on the Houston INT. That goes back to his rookie season though!!!

My view was that he was mostly average which is not a great return for a player you traded up for in Round 1. Out of his entire career I can only think of a few main highlights: - The huge hit on Lamar Jackson that knocked him out of the Division playoff game. - Knocking away a deep pass from Mike Gesicki over the middle in the wildcard game against Miami. - Absolutely crushing a running back causing an incomplete pass in the same game above. Am I forgetting any others?

It’s already happening - I saw a few Bears are asking why Edmunds isn’t stepping up last night

Like Poyer last week, it’s more than likely a good sign that he finished the game injured from a long-term injury perspective. Rosseau may have to miss a week or two, but hopefully he’s fully healed and ready to tear it up again. He’s having a great season

Ok I missed that part

It’s gotta be hard being an athlete in the age of social media and 24 hr news cycles. I would try to do my best to avoid social media during the season but it’s probably easier said that done. If this is his burner account…which is a huge “if”….he didn’t really do much other than defend himself as a player. It doesn’t seem like he said anything too crazy. He didn’t ***** on the fans or trash his teammates or coaches. Everyone is entitled to their opinion, but at the end of the day he’s the one living out his dream and making millions of dollars. But man, he was the whipping boy this week. One fans made the comment: ”of course, we drafted the one lineman from Notre Dame who sucks” 🤣

He seemed to be complimentary of the Bills in his interviews which is cool.

There’s a lot of good footage of McGovern handling Javon Hargrave last season. He’s pretty good at pass pro

I think it’s a feeling of reality - knowing that postseason > regular season. It’s nice to win games and division championships but if you aren’t on a roll and/or healthy going into the postseason you end up losing in a division game. Also we know that being the #1 ranked team in power rankings, the team that’s favored to the Super Bowl, or the team with the best DVOA doesn’t guarantee you anything. basically, I think we know a lot can happen but we are taking things week-to-week

There zero chance that Daboll gets fired. He inherited the mess left by Dave Gettleman/Joe Judge and won a playoff game. He’s earned the trust of the org and probably prepped them for a step back like the Bills in 2018. It’s going to take atleast two years before Daboll’s job is in jeopardy

He’s a good player and probably deserves a spot on the 53. His only chance to playing in Buffalo would be multiple injuries. The move to Atlanta is probably the right choice
