The Jets are still a very serious threat in my opinion. Yes they got beat bad in week 1 but they really limited Rodgers against that pass rush in his first game action back almost like lets get his feet wet without getting him killed. The 49ers have one of the best if not the best roster in the NFL and the Jets schedule is very soft so I expect us to have them as competition.

Everytime Spector has been called upon I feel he’s done at least a decent to above average job

When you run a system with smaller guys these things happen. Thomas Davis had 3 ACL tears, 1 of which was with McDermott, pulled his hamstring and broke his arm. Davis weighed 235 Shaq Thompson another McDermott guy has had hamstrings, knee sprains, shoulder issues, and recently fractured his leg. Thompson weighed 230. Luke Kuechly who everyone knows was a star retired due to concussions also tore his labrum and had shoulder surgery. He weighed 235. Bernard is 225 pounds. He plays the Kuechly role and is 10 pounds less. Milano is 223 pounds. He plays the Thomas Davis role and is 12 pounds less. Taron Johnson plays the Shaq Thompson role. Johnson is 192 pounds while Thompson was 229. Look at how banged up the Panthers guys got in the same McDermott system and they were bigger than all 3 of the Bills guys. This will continue and is more likely to happen to the 3 as they age. Small bodies break down when colliding with bigger bodies over and over again

Honestly, it’s not crazy even if they take on a ton of dead cap. Trade him for a 2nd or whatever and get your new franchise QB. You still have good offensive skill in Waddle and Achane and could use that extra capital to build an Oline around him. Dolphins wouldn’t do it probably but if I was GM I’d start thinking about trading away pieces now that Tua is out possibly for good and take the cap hits while your QB is on the rookie deal

I always hate the Jags games. We seem to struggle with them mightily and they seem to give Josh fits. Lawrence and Etienne always seem to play at their best against us. The difference is the Bills are finally at home against them. Everytime we lose to them it’s in Jax or the one time in London. Irs a game the Bills need if they have hoped for home field

If there are two teams McDermott and staff prepare for well it’s the Dolphins and Ravens just don’t know how the injuries will affect them

Overall good news on Bernard. Means we should get Johnson and him back in a couple of weeks. I have faith in Spector as I thought he would get a chance to compete for the starting job when we didn’t know what Bernard was. I am worried about depth for sure. Spector had gotten injuries and Williams is still undersized. I know people love Joe and even Ulofoshio but I don’t want to see them playing real games yet. I expect a vet to be signed for depth here in the next day or two to the PS

James Cook ran for a total of 1500 yards in 4 seasons at Georgia. That is 375 yards a season on average. In his junior and senior seasons he ran for 303 and 728. Now he did split time but he was never the # 1 RB at Georgia as a lot of time they split him out wide and kind of made him like Achane is used for the Dolphins. So no not a lot of people expected him to become a 1200 yard runner in the NFL including myself

It’s funny cause Cook was known more as a WR than RB at Georgia and no one including myself expected him to become the type of RB he had become. His hands have been shaky at times but so far so good this year. His one true weakness is his pass blocking which is why Ty Johnson is out there on 3rd downs

They were clearly willing to let Miami run it as much as they wanted. Made some big run stops and then forced their passing game into bad decisions

I know Oliver is getting a lot of love as he should but Daquan Jones also had a really good game and it was Austin Johnson who planted Thompson on the Cole Bishop PBU

I fully expect Hamlin to continue starting until they feel Bishop is ready. I also don’t think he’ll change it until there is a reason to.

This was my immediate thought after the game as well. We should near the Jags especially at home but they are a team that seems to fluster Allen a lot and Lawrence always plays well against us for whatever reason

The Bills have had some bad luck with things but referencing Milano, Bernard, and Johnson they are all undersized for the things they are asked to do in the NFL. Johnson is one of the best slot CB's because not only can he cover but he's a really good player coming down and tackling but that involved a guy under 200 pounds constantly taking on offensive lineman, TE's and bigger running backs. Milano and Bernard are 230 pounds at best and constantly taking on 300 pound lineman. Those battles take their toll over time.

I mean the guy who makes the most sense that has a history with us that isn't retired(Klein) is Andre Smith Jr. I'm not sure the Bills want to go down that route as hes predominately been a ST's guy but he is a veteran and knows the way McDermott does things. Zach Cunningham is also available don't know how much he has left in the tank but might be worth a flyer.

I didn’t watch Rousseau a ton tonight but the one play I did see was the hustle play on 4th down to catch Thompson. He was chipped by Jonnu then pressed the LT into the pocket, disengaged and ran him down

Benford Shakir Cook Entire DLine Ill give Ingram some love but the ball fell in his hands twice but he caught en

Ja’Marcus Ingram looked like a man who was like wtf am I gonna say I’ve never been interviewed in my football career

Time to head on over to Finheaven

Achane is a stud but made of glass. He’s a fun player to watch tho

He will eventually replace Hamlin. Don’t see them taking Rapp off the field

Good play by Bishop !!

Get Benford out idc if Codrington is in there

The backups are now in thank god

Damn good job by Toohill there
