Bills 23 Texans 21 Sleep may not be easy Thursday night

I'll be pleasantly surprised if this is an easy game. Texans have a good defense and their offensive woes may work their way out vs our defense. Short week and away games is a bad combo. Defense has to get stops. On offense, hope they mix it up as much as possible to keep their edge guys from causing too many problems. Keep passing to RBs. Need a zero to low turnover game as well.

The thing I keep coming back to is Beane was the money guy at Carolina. He doesn't have the football background. That helps to explain the uneven early round drafting and his insecurity. His philosophy of paying home grown guys is ok - he just keeps handling out pretty big contracts to decent but not excellent players. Eventually that puts you in a bad place, and here we are.

I wish I agreed with you but I think the new stadium is one of multiple reasons Pegula won't change from McBeane. I see the Dungy comparison but he won a SB at Indy. To me this is Marty Schottenheimer all over again.

Yeah I agree that unless change happens at the top not much can change below. This team needs talent. OC: somebody from the outer branches of the SF Shanahan tree. But not McDaniels. DC: someone from outside the building. A Spags disciple could work.

Believe when I see it. But I think it's a good move if it happens.

He wouldn't be the first athlete to fall apart for a while after getting married. Plus the Bills ecosystem right now is not the greatest. Hope he gets out of it sooner than later.

I can't believe Spector could see the field again in any uniform, least of all the Bills. Please please stay healthy Bernard and Milano!

He clearly has the athleticism and was somewhat of a project coming out of the draft. I'm definitely encouraged by his play lately. The hit on Kelce was a satisfying watch. It can work this year along with Poyer's experience as long as we don't get caught out by Poyer's athletic decline as he gets older.

Especially when Coleman is the only WR on the field. That's what bothers me the most. We run the 13 personnel and we just don't have a threat on the outside. He blocks well but that is not enough. He is what I thought he'd be. When the coaches realize that, get someone else out there, and break the news to Allen is the question.

Of all the injuries we have this year, this one leaves the biggest void IMO. I felt like he was the potential difference maker.

Closer than you'd think due to slight post-KC letdown, road game, massive injury list, and Dolphins sometimes play us close. Bills 29 Dolphins 25 No idea how they get to that final score but whatever

Most encouraging offensive play of the game was the pass to Knox in the first half, followed by the pass to Cook in the second half. Need more imagination on offense. McDermott put on yet another master class in timeout strategy 😋

McDermott will be calling that soft zone in the old folks home. Injury to Hoecht is bad.
