The Bills have averaged 28 points per game since Brady became OC. Just saying!

I’m from Buffalo (Williamsville actually), graduated from IU, live in the ATL and my wife and kids went to UGA.

This may have happened before, but this is the first time I can remember that UGA, Indiana U, the Bills and the Falcons won the same football weekend.

Ben Watson.

The truth is Mahomes is in a Tier by himself. Call it the GOAT tier. The Josh is in the next tier down. After Josh there is a whole lot a potential. Burrow has to stay healthy. Lamar has to win in the playoffs. Stroud is in his second season. Love is now hurt and is only a 2nd year starter. Murray can make plays, but is short and can’t stay healthy. Who knows what Herbert’s deal is. I like Baker and maybe he is putting it all together. Stafford is on the back part of his career. Rodgers should be done and Wilson is done. If I were choosing a QB 3 to play for my franchise I’d pick Stroud, Love and then Mayfield. I’m a UGA season ticket holder and the two greatest performances I’ve ever seen in college were Mayfield at Oklahoma in the Rose Bowl against GA and Stroud in the Chik-fil-a Bowl for OSU also against GA. Those two nearly willed their teams to victory. It was amazing to watch. I also respect Burrow, but he can’t stay healthy.

So far this season Derek Carr, Mayfield and Kyler Murray have been staking their claim to being in the top tier of NFL QBs. How's that for a shocker.

Don't forget Josh has the most fantasy points and Hailee Steinfeld.

As we have seen with Geno Smith, Mayfield, Goff, Tannehill, and now Carr and Darnold, sometimes all the QB needs is the right coach and a good O-line. Young is in a terrible situation. Bad coaching, bad line and lousy weapons. I’m no Young fan. He’s no bigger than Stetson Bennett. I doubt he’ll ever be great in the NFL, but he needs to be in a better situation to have any chance of succeeding. I like the idea of Dalton playing out the season. Let Young learn from bench this season and then use next off-season to get him what he needs to succeed.

What was the EPA last season after Brady took over? The Bills are 9-2 since Brady became the OC.

Hard to steal a game from UK when you call 9 penalties on GA for 85 yards and only 4 for 23 yards against Kentucky.

Arizona is dominating LAR so far. Maybe our victory over AZ is better than people realized last week.

Yes, Miami should have never allowed him to re-enter the game in 2022 against us and should have never played against Cincinnati. Players have to realize that teams don't always have their best interest at heart and the Tua situation in 2022 is the clearest example of that. The Fish believe that Tua gives them the best chance to win. Therefore, if cleared, they will play him. It's up to Tua and his family to decide for themselves when and if he plays again. Knowing how guys like Morse, Kyle Okposo, etc.... love to compete, my guess is once Tua is cleared he'll suit up again. Look at the play in which he got hurt. He launched himself head first in Damar. Tua and Tua alone is responsible for this injury. Now it's time for him to deal with the consequences. Miami has a fragile QB, they just invest 230 million in him, have 29 million in cap space, yet the have one of the worst O-lines in the NFL. If Beane was their GM, there is now way on G-d's green earth that he'd allow a big $ fragile QB to play behind such a line. He'd have spent money to fix it. Has Miami's GM received any criticism for his handling of this team?

The OP poster should be banned for bringing this stat to light. Somethings are best not talked about or you are tempting fate.

Personally, I think the Bills should go for it 4-3 or less every time once the pass the opponents 45 yard line. I mean f--- field goals, f--- punts. With Josh and this O-line no excuse not to pick up 3 yards when needed.

What a friggin' nightmare. UK played great and UGA slept through the game. They were lucky to win.

There are many “passing” plays that are essentially long handoffs. Running down their throats is great, but it’s a lot easier if they have to respect the pass and therefore can’t put 8-9 in the box.

Nick Wright is still an idiot.

Here is what I don’t get about the Fish. The Bills dominated their lines on both sides of the ball. The Fish’s issues on the lines aren’t new. While they have 42 mill in dead cap, they still have 29 mill in cap space. Can you imagine Beane allowing crappy lines with a fragile QB and 29 mill in cap space. I can’t. Football, despite all of Miami’s speed, is won in the trenches and the Bills proved that again last night. If the Fish ever want to field a truly good team, they need to spend the money and fix the lines. I’m very thankful for their GM’s incompetence and even more thankful for Beane.

If I have one criticism of the Bills in this game, I’d have liked to see a better gameplan to run out the clock than simply rushing up the middle on nearly every play. Short controlled passing with high completion % is in the playbook and utilized consistently. I’d like to see some of those patterns run late in games like this one as well.

Sometimes I think they should publish possession time for when the game is actually in doubt.

Heard today on NFLNetwork radio that players can wear guardian caps in game. Where is Mark Kelso when you need him.

Narrative: The NY jets and Miami Dolphins have more talent than the Bills and will be better football teams in 2024, causing the Bills not to win the East and maybe not make the playoffs. Tua is now out for the foreseeable future. Rodgers looks a shadow of his former self. It is pretty clear so far this season, that the AFC East still runs through Orchard Park.

The Jags do seem to occupy some Josh headspace. Maybe it’s their Josh Allen raises his game against our Josh Allen? We are actually 9-10 against Jax all-time with 2 straight losses. However, last season was that BS London game. My guess is that game doesn’t sit well with McD or the Bills players. Monday night at home with 11 days to prepare should help.

You can see the players confidence and trust in the coaching and systems grow with each half of football. Can’t wait until game 6-7 when the players are fully bought in and the coaches have a better understanding of what each guy can and cannot do. Brady’s ability to change the offense from week 1 to short week 2 was impressive. In week 1, 12 personnel was run most of the game. Last night, it was mostly 11 personnel and they still ran the ball often and well. They also set out to feature Shakir and Kincaid. My guess is Brady will have another new wrinkle for Jacksonville. By the time we get to week 6, DCs’ will literally have no idea what the Bills tendencies are, because there aren’t any. We can run down your throat, go heavy, go 5 wide, feature a running Josh or feature throwing Josh. We have the personnel to run just about anything and the key is the Oline that keeps Josh clean and opens holes for Cook and Co. It’s just fun to watch.

I trust McD and Babich to play the right guys when they are ready. Nice to see Bishop get in the game. Hopefully Edwards gets up to speed as well. With Lewis and Ingram getting great in game experience, Hamlin playing solidly if unspectacularly, and the injured guys returning to health, the areas of concern, CB depth and the entire safety group, seemed to be falling by the wayside and the defensive backfield is becoming a strength of this defense.
