Show us the other QBs and how they stack up for the season. What is Mahomes' % for the season, Jackson etc... One game is meaningless as the gameplan changes week to week.

I don't think we can call Coleman, Shakir and Cooper a talentless group of receivers.

For the above stats to be relevant, show us how Josh compares to other QBs. I think you'll find similar numbers.

This season Josh is completing 64.1% of his passes. Career is 63.6% This season his yards per attempt 7.9 (tying a career high). Career 7.3. Yards per catch is 12.3 (tying a career high). Career 11.5 TD per attempt 6.3%. Career ave 5.4% Interception rate .4%. Career 2.3% Adjusted Yards per attempt 8.97 (career high). Career ave 7.28 Someone is getting open.

Can the Jags trade us Josh Allen already (or the DL formerly known as Josh Allen)?

Yes we do still need a WR who can take the cover off the defense, but we have needed for ages a WR who can win 50/50 balls. Coleman looks to be that player. As I've written before, if Samuel can comeback healthy, I'd love to see the Bills use his speed to go for a deep ball or two. Yes, I know that's not how he has been used in the past, but that is really the only role available on the Bills after the Cooper acquisition. The Bills now have two good boundary receivers in Cooper and Coleman. Cooper the vet who gets separation and Coleman the rookie who makes the tough catches. We have the best slot receiver in football in Shakir (is that even debatable anymore?). We also have 3 backs who are good at catching the ball out of the backfield and a pass catching TE capable of playing any role asked of him and even he has a capable backup with blocks the run well. So what role in the offense is left to Samuel? Gadget plays and deep throws.

Isn't that your job?

I guess Tank Dell is the man now in Houston.

Bye- Bye. The Bills are deep at RB and Gore showed in is limited time that he can play in the NFL. No need to keep Evans. Better to give him an opportunity elsewhere.

I don't miss him on the Bills, but I'm sorry he is hurt. The NFL is better with him playing.

A couple of facts. Didn’t the Bills just set the record for most games played with either a win or loss by one score or less? As to playing depth players, the Bills rotate to varying degrees 3 RBs, 5WRs, 3TEs, and 9 DL. They also have played more LBs and DBs this season than ever but admittedly this stems from injuries to starters. Only depth OL don’t play much except Anderson who plays regularly. As to the close games, I think you’ll find that many were against similar high end teams. I’d also like to see the home vs road splits. Where I do think the Bills need to change, especially when (if?) the LBs get healthy, is to play a 3rd LB against tough running teams like Baltimore. Our D scheme is a terrible matchup against them.

He is serious and stop calling him Shirley.

Jets on their way to missing the playoffs for the 14th straight year. Maybe the Sabres will end their streak before the Jets end theirs.

Very proud of my Dawgs and Hoosiers. Great win by the Dawgs at Texas to put themselves back into the conversation for a playoff bye. Special shoutout to my Hoosiers. First 8-0 season since 1967. Great energy for the Gameday visit and nice honors for Lee Corso. Very proud of how they, with a backup QB, played stellar defense and opportunistic offense to pull away from a game Washington squad. The Hoosiers demolishing of Nebraska the week before looking even better after the Huskers gave OSU everything they could handle. They should be ranked now as a top 10 team.

Why can’t Cook, Kincaid, Coleman, Cooper and Shakir build HOF resumes? Cooper adds another couple 1000 yards seasons he could easily be in the conversation. The others are still NFL kids. Coleman is just a rookie. Shakir is proving himself to be one of the best possession and YAC receivers in the NFL. It’s way pre-mature to put a ceiling on any if these guys careers.

I doubt the Bills will make another trade before or at the deadline. Last season there were only 6 trades on deadline day and only 15 total from Sept 20th through Oct 31. Given our limited cap space and how infrequent NFL trades are, the Cooper trade is likely Beane's only move.

Toronto, Mexico City, London UK, San Antonia and Oklahoma City.

I think you need to drill down further. In Dallas CeeDee Lamb arrived on the scene in 2020. Cooper became the No.2 receiver in 2021 as Lamb emerged as a star. Cooper went to Cleveland after that and had two great years, with year 2 in Cleveland being superior to year 1 (17.4 yds per catch vs 14.9). He was sent to Buffalo because Cleveland needs to rebuild again. In Oak the problem was Derek Carr and the offense they ran in 2017 forward. They moved to a more TE/RB type offense to help Carr. In 2018 Oak's leading receivers were their RB and TE. Carr's poor accuracy lead to lousy TGT/Catch ratios for all the receivers (RB, TE and WR). With his rookie contract coming to an end and him being a poor fit for their offense, they shipped him to Dallas. Dallas traded him to Cleveland as he was being paid to be a No. 1 receiver, but was clearly No. 2 behind Lamb. Oak receiver a 1st for Cooper. Dallas only received a 5th for Cooper as Cleveland took on his nearly 19 mill in cap.

That 20 yards a catch is nothing to sneeze at.

Nabers (6th overall) 39 Rec 427 yds 3 TDs in 5 games (10.95 yds/rec) Thomas (23rd overall) 30 Rec 513 yds 4 TDs in 7 games (17.1 yds/rec) Coleman (33rd overall) 16 Rec 326 yds 2 TDs in 7 games (20.38 yds/rec) Harrison (4th overall) 17 Rec 279 yds 4 TDs in 7 games (16.41 yds/rec) TE Bowers (13th overall) 47 Rec 477 yds 1 TD in 7 games (10.15 yds/rec) Maybe Beane and company knew something after all? I compared Coleman to Higgins and Pittman on draft day and I think the analogy still holds.

‘You don’t tug on Superman’s cape, you don’t spit into the wind, you don’t pull the mask off the old Lone Ranger and you don’t mess around with”..Pat!

Everyone should just be thankful that we have 3 good backs and good OL that creates holes for them to run through. I do wish we’d find a way to get Cook into space on the outside more consistently.

Besides a great pedigree and good play each time he has entered a game? Nothing!

1st half vs 2nd half 1st half - bad game plan 2nd half - good adjustments

Considering he is the backup and McGovern is the starter who remains healthy, what did you expect?
