    Again, he was their swing tackle so he should have been at least somewhat ready. If they really had absolutely no backup in case their starting LT went out other that to throw a rookie RT over there "hours before the game" with minimal preparation then some coaches need to be fired.

    Fair enough, but from the sound of it, it's not like he was likely logging a ton of time during practice at that spot.  The QUALITY of his play sounds more like being a rookie to me.

    Should Davis start over Sanders going forward?

    I was irate to know Sanders ever started over Davis. I made a really old thread about how mad I was

     

    I thought the Sanders signing was a good one because we needed depth in case of injury like we did at the end of last season.

     

    Then to see Sanders taking all of his snaps? Pfft. What a poor roster decision. Wonder if that was Beane over McDermott. 

     

    Wasn't Davis dealing with some lingering injuries to start the season?  But in general, I agree - as much as I like what Sanders' experience can do, Gabe is just a solid WR who will only continue to get better with MORE starting reps!

    Given the position switch he had to make a few hours before the game, I'm kinda amazed at how much grief he's getting.

    Switching from one end to the other AIN'T easy with little to no practice time - and Carolina doesn't have a bad D-line at all.   Yes, the taunting penalty was stupid and obviously any o-line penalty always hurts, but I like this kid's attitude a LOT.  He's going to be good for the Bills for years imo.

    I’ve been a Bills fan for 62 years.  This year I’ve noticed that, for the first time in my life as a fan, the losses don’t bother me much more than watching say, the Broncos lose.  My family and friends offer condolences, but I don’t need them.   It’s just a football game. 

     

    It wasn’t always that way – I used to agonize over each of the 492 losses.

     

    I’m not sure exactly when, or how, this happened, but it happened.  I can watch the Bills fail at the end of the game against the Titans, I can watch them fail again against the Patriots, but I don’t get upset.  (Okay, when they lose to Jacksonville, that’s different.)

    I have found myself in almost the exact same place this season in terms of how upset (or not) I get after the losses.  Maybe because I've been down this road so many times ... but maybe because last year's losses got me so upset I'd stew for days and days to the point where people I know were commenting on it.  That's certainly not a unique feeling around here (being upset at a loss) but it's not exactly healthy either.  This season I've rolled with the losses (agree on the Jax one tho) with real comparative ease.

     

    Is there something wrong with me ???  I'm not any less of a fan now than I've been the previous 33 years - maybe even more so now.  It's weird, but something has changed for me.  Maybe just not letting myself be a slave to the outcome of the Bills maybe?  A pandemic making me feel that life is too short sometimes?  Maybe finally finding some zen place in the back of my reptilian brain?  Or maybe realizing how lucky I am to be retiring early next year?

     

    Whatever the reason ...  it's definitely different this season.  🤔

     

    Thanks as always for sharing where you're at Shaw!  Always appreciate your efforts.

    Is this the week for Mitch Trubisky ?

    It all comes down to Josh’s health.  If he’s able to play, he should play.  If he’s a misstep away from a blown Achilles or ACL or whatever... sit him. 
     

    If he does play I hope he has a brace on.  

    If he does play with a brace, that's likely taking away one of his main weapons.  Have a hard time imagining playcalls going forward will be designed QB runs - and everyone will absolutely hold their breath every time he hints at scrambling out of the pocket.
