Seems like they weren't scared enough of the NE passing game to force start Williams with the playoffs looming. A little concerned that Spector is made of glass and hopefully ulo will be ready next year or we may need a free agent reserve/draft pick to provide some depth.

I don't know how much more Von can improve but he looks to me like he's the best we have at getting to the qb. I don't think he's earning all the money he's making and I don't think he dominates or will dominate anymore but I hope he can get some qbpressures in the playoffs. I like the pop he's showing as well as the quicks. I've seen him straighten some big dudes up for the last few weeks. Hopefully he will continue in the playoffs and I hope we keep him on the field a little bit more.

Harrison Philips is doing well in Minnesota. I saw a sherfeld jr name plate at some point but I'm not committed enough to the thread to look up where he's playing. Dobson too.

DaQuan sporting some tape there?

Watt went out with an ankle yesterday, I didn't see if it was longer term or not. Pit does have some decent pass rush behind him though. What happened to Mahomes is a reminder to make sure your oline room is as deep and talented as possible.

And here I figured you were the guy with no inside voice. "Why are you yelling, I'm sitting right here?"

I have an older Sequoia that's been very good to me. My 2006 doesn't have a magic 3rd row, if I want the seats out I have to wrastle em', but I assume you can get that with something 10 or so years old. From a reliability standpoint it's been awesome. 210K on it and nothing major as well as nothing irritating. Things like I've only replaced one tail-light and one fog light on it. Interior pieces are in good shape. No issues with the 4 wheel drive. I got it mainly because it will pull 6000 lbs, but it's also got a nice amount of drivers seat room which I find useful. I would recommend if you don't mind the gas mileage.

Do you just kick it now instead?

Oh no, giving Mack special instructions

Probably should have run that one

I think within one yard of the line, no

Outflanked us out there. That's a nice call.

Well, I don't look at it as McD, it's the entire coaching staff as well as Beane and company. So I think the things that have improved this year: Both coordinators - Babich has hit the ground running. I thought he would be blitzing more, but he is orchestrating and bend but don't break defense pretty well. I am hoping that if our base defense gets gashed like it did against the ravens he will have a wrinkle, but other than that I think he's done a fine job. Brady has done a nice job blending the running and passing. Most of the time the offense has a decent rhythm (other than maybe early in some games) and we have been able to score when needed. The former ref making the calls on whether to challenge or not has been a good add. Seems like we are at least challenging things that make sense. Beane went out and got Cooper. It hasn't paid dividends yet but I'm hoping he will be a big part of the playoff offense, it seems like he's still nursing that wrist. For me, it's really the dynamic of how the coaches interact with each other and then how they interact with the front office. I think Babich/Brady and MCDermott are in lock step where in the past I don't think that's quite been the case. Daboll was pretty well documented and I have to think Frazier was a little soft for McD because of the way McD blitzed when he got ahold of the d last year. There doesn't seem to be much head shaking by McD in the press conferences after the game this year. I know everyone likes to pin everything on McD, but there is a level of autonomy that the coordinators get to do their own thing - they have the day to day leading of their group to do. I think the 2024 group of coaches has gotten a lot out of these players. I'm pretty excited about us getting a little healthier as we move toward the playoffs and think we have a good shot of getting to the super bowl. My only bbfs downer is around Bass. And it's a pretty big ledge considering our history.

With the 32nd pick in the 2025 draft, the Buffalo Bills select....

They could expand the practice squad some. Negotiations will be interesting at the next CBA. Like for international games, as a player do you require a bye afterward? Are there other requirements the players should have around some of this scheduling? Plus the discipline process, grass vs turf vs crappy grass or turf, I'm sure there's a bunch of other things to work out.
