There’s just NO LBs at the second level to meet the run.

If the measuring stick is playoffs, they’re at least that good. They’re not winning a SB with this defense though.

Groot usually has 1-2 really good games a year. Maybe this will be one of them. He owes us after that penalty.

If receivers are allowed to run unopposed, turn around and make the catch, down after down, it’s just too easy. Too soft. There’s no challenge.

“Bills haven’t beaten anyone with a winning record. Give me the Falcons.” These talking heads are insufferable.

Even though Poyer is not what he used to be, he’s gotta be an improvement over the 2025 edition of Taylor Rapp.

Zero accepted. But yeah, I don’t believe for a second they played that cleanly.

I would’ve rather had 1st and 5 than 2nd and 1. Downs matter.

Reminiscent of the Patriots and “we’re on to Cincinnati.”

Sam. Freaking. Laporta.

She is. I like Caitlin Clark but liked her less when I found that out.

I don’t know for the life of me why DBs dont communicate to switch if receivers cross in man coverage. It’s like a basketball pick play. Communicate and switch it!!!

What tree is the Ben Johnson offense from? Love the creativity I see out of that system.

Maye looks like the truth. His skill positions are pedestrian and he has no running game to speak of, but he still finds ways to move that offense. He has great awareness from what I’ve seen and throws an even more catchable ball than Allen. If New England stays healthy, they should get a WC spot with that soft schedule.

It’s super impressive that he can go to an all new offense with different language/plays and be able to run it, even if ineffectively.

Maye throws a very catchable ball.

I remember when the Jets O was so beastly against Pittsburgh, many around here were calling them “Baltimore-Lite.” What an insult to Baltimore that comparison was.

Get Fields out of there, if for no other reason than wanting a spark.

Yeah, guys like a Chase and Jefferson are in the one percentile of receivers in the league.

Yeah, only Lamar Jackson consistently has receivers that are “high school” open. For most in the league the receiver will usually have 1-2 yards of separation and it’s on the QB to either throw them open, or put a pass right on them when they’re open. I do think this offense needs more pick/rub routes and less WR bubble screens. We’re not getting blitzed much so those screens are seeming like wasted downs. Too much horizontal passing for my liking.

Seems like there are a lot more injuries in today’s softer league. Guys were far more calloused up back in the day with two a day practices and legal harder hits. There was no “defenseless receiver.” I think because guys were more calloused, they probably knew how to protect themselves more. Soft tissue injuries also weren’t as frequent because they were on the field all the time.

What is Daboll’s approval rating now after last night’s win? Are Giants fans happy with him or do they still want him gone?

Dart should’ve been playing from week 1. He was impressive in the preseason too. They may have beaten KC with him at QB.

Yeah, Marino said going into the game the Patriots struggled mightily against multiple TE and RB sets where the QB passed and we did it a grand total of 2 times for 43 yards. That’s just piss poor scouting by Joe Brady and the offensive staff. You’re supposed to attack a team’s weakness, what they don’t do well and force them into adjustments which would then open up other opportunities. We didn’t force the Pats into anything. I almost never feel like the offensive or defensive staff schemes specifically for opponent and is ahead of the opposing coordinators.

The annual lulls are like clockwork. The Bills have an excellent September, where they look like the best team in football, followed by a dreadful October and early November, and then start playing well leading into the playoffs before an injury depleted defense does them in. Same script year after year. Except this year they haven’t been as stellar in September, squeaking past the lowly Dolphins and Saints (yes, I know both were double digit wins). Maybe that breaks up the Oct/Nov lulls a bit.
