Was Brissett always this hefty?

Yes. You get 70’s OJ. Murders didn’t happen yet.

One of the RB’s. Whoever was the best at short yardage and catching the ball.

The Teller thing is hard to process. O Line play is a bit of a black box to most fans including me. But given how bad the Bills O-Line has played and that the Bills traded away one of the best Guards in the NFL for a 6th rounder suggests something ain’t right. Add in two 3rd round running backs that look pretty bad the majority of the time and paying Spain then cutting him weeks into the season. Things kind of points to the running scheme or the lack of will to run the ball. Not the players. Bloom has certainly come off the Daboll rose pretty quickly.

I suspect if we lose to the Jets, we’ll find out how the offense feels about the coaching. Zero balance and no commitment to the run… my guess is the O-Line feels like they’re not put in a position to succeed. They’re certainly playing that way.

I’d love to know if there’s a stat on how fast a RB gets to the LOS. I guess that’d be hard to measure based on how far behind LOS the RB gets the ball and what route they take to the LOS. Yes the run blocking stinks but seems like our RB’s run with no violence or aggression. Just like a QB holding the ball too long effects pass blocking success, a RB who can’t hit a hole hard effects the run blocking.

Yes. Without context, I’m not sure what that number should mean.

So now what??… McDermott is gonna have to earn his money.

No way he makes it to us on waivers if he has anything left. Somebody will grab him for $570k.

When your left tackle becomes the stay puft marshmallow man in the off-season then contracts covid setting him further back… When your second team all pro WR decides to become the face of the anti vax movement… and I’m sure Josh’s contract might be in his head a little bit. Good news is Beasley seems to be 100% football focused now, Dawkins still has 2 months to progress and Josh’s issues are correctable.

It’s pretty amazing to me how league wide and even in college that it seems so hard to run the ball in short yardage situations. That’s not a Bills specific problem. The world’s gone pass happy and teams have built their OLines accordingly. Teams that can run the ball when it counts are the teams that are gonna have success in January. My 2 cents are that teams like the Bills have gone overboard on the analytics. When you’re in a tight game and can’t pick up a yard on the ground, it’s very hard to win.

I’d be fuming. And if he had a history of bad-mouthing the organization for not doing everything they can to win, demanding a trade and threatening to retire, I’d be furious.

So the guy who cries about the front office not doing enough to win can’t even get vaccinated to help the team win. And no this isn’t about the pros and cons of the vaccine. It’s about winning.

How come nobody else is picking this story up yet? Seems like some guys have false positives. Update: story just hit ESPN

I actually think you need a camera on every player. That’s the only solution. The selectivity of flags thrown today is what drives people nuts. Players will stop holding if it’s called consistently. The problem the League has is the majority of penalties called could be called on every play and fans rightfully ask why it was called in that instance and not another.

Not really apples to apples comparison if OP doesn’t have a dome and downtown does. If $450m is the real difference and UB will kick in money if it’s downtown, it might not even be more money to build it downtown.

I watched the first couple minutes of his dads video. Most of the plays he’s only open after Mayfield is running for his life and the defenders leave Beckham. I don’t even think Josh would’ve been able to make those throws.

Fletcher’s dead cap is philly’s problem, not the Bills.

I think Mitch probably has a lot of say here. He signed for way under market. If he likes an opportunity and wants to be traded, I think the Bills will comply if it helps us.

This plus it was a lot easier for refs when teams ran the ball more plus there are a lot more rules. The illegal contact, pass interference, holding, breathing on the QB, lowering the head, defenseless receiver…Almost an impossible job now for the refs on the field.

If Josh is hurt, we are done. I’d rather have an all pro Guard protecting him than a backup QB

This actually makes a ton of sense all the way around. And I’m sure Mitch is tired of holding a clipboard. He got his reset. An extra 2-3 months of being a backup probably overkill for him. I’m sure he’s ready to ball again and there’s a fair amount of teams who’d play him the rest of the season.

If true, it’s gotta be for a player or players.

I commend the Rams in going for it, but they clearly don’t value draft picks the way the rest of the League does. If I was looking to unload a player for draft picks, they are the first phone call I’d make.

Whoever’s available that could most help the running game is who Beane should go after. There’s always games where you need to control the clock and grind out a win. A Guard, a RB, another TE… they probably all could help. One difference maker there would be nice.
