I think the poster may be referring to the white helmets with standing red buffalo. I think it’s been 2-3 years for those?Correct. Thanks.

When was the last time we wore the throwbacks with the red buffalo helmet? Seems like a long time.

Sorry. I was wrong it is 4 games but 4 calendar weeks once designated to return to be added back to roster.
I thought it was 21 days once designated to return?

I listen to Joe Marino and Locked on Bills. I like his takes for the most part, and I like that he has an episode every day, and they're not too long—usually about 30-35 minutes each. But sometimes I'm looking for something different.
Wondering if you all have ones that you go to during the week that you think are good.

You mean like those two interceptions, both of which came on first down?Yeah, kinda wished we had run the ball instead.

When Solomon inspires more trust against the run I think we'll see his snaps climb.
Seriously. Solomon has shown a couple of flashes, but he was completely manhandled on one of the TD runs in the Miami game last week.

Bills really leaning in to this "let them run" approach...

Von isn’t a LBer, he was just listed at that so he could wear 40 before the rule change. He's a DE.
Interesting that at the Fins game on Sunday he came out of the tunnel and was introduced as a LB.

I love advanced stats like EPA. Sort of.
The reality of the Fins game is that Miami gained something like 400 yards and scored 27 points.
If not for an unlikely 61 yard field go with 10 seconds left, we might have lost the game.The D needs to get better, whatever EPA or DVOA may indicate.
True, although on the other hand, they did hold the Fins to 10 points in the first half. The second half was ugly, but it was also ugly for the Fins on defense as well.

Anyone know why the Bills let so much time run off the clock at the beginning of the last drive? It felt like they weren’t completely committed to being able to drive the ball down the field and instead chose to bleed clock so as to make sure Miami couldn’t. Pretty risky strategy in my opinion.
Not sure, but I was pretty concerned about a quick 3 and out in that situation, which would give the Fins time along with 2 timeouts. I was okay with bleeding some time off the clock, apparently trying to make sure only they would have a chance at a winning FG.

Yeah I hear ya. I just think that was their best chance to win the game in Buffalo.
Watching that video made me realize, on that 2nd and 14 where Allen had the ball batted down, Cook was wide open on the right side and would have gotten very close to the first down.
Not that it ended up mattering with the Poyer penalty, but holy cow. When it was 3rd and 14 (and later 3rd and 9) I was pretty nervous about going 3 and out and giving the Fins another chance.

Bad teams like the Chiefs pushing Eric Bieniemy out and replacing him with Matt Nagy? Or the 12-4 Chiefs firing their DC for Steve Spagnuolo?
Good is the enemy is Great, and it has never been so well illustrated as watching everyone with Battered Bills Fan Syndrome being happy to stick with coaches out of fear that it could be worse.
Yall treat every suggestion of getting better as a direct insult to the current guy. Brady has done a good job so far, I actually like him a lot. Doesnt mean we cant do better or shouldnt be looking to do so.
I suspect this will not be a popular take, but it's a pretty good one.
I'm not advocating for getting rid of McD or anyone right now, but if your goal is greatness, or a championship, or whatever is the top of your field, then settling for good only keeps you from getting there. The trick is distinguishing the ones that *can* get you to the top from the ones who *never will*.

My brother in law, a Bears season ticket holder, is hoping they will fire their coach now after yesterday’s game.

…according to DVOA.
I don’t know what DVOA is, and I definitely don’t know what it means, but I do know that I will no longer pay any attention to it.

I think he’s waiting until there aren’t any video tape players anymore… -

Especially with the safety situation I keep asking myself "what's going to stop our run game from having a repeat of last time?"
Mostly if the Fins decide to bring the safety in and stack the box to keep the run game in check. At which point Brady and Allen would say “thank you” and light the skies on fire.-

That was an awesome catch.
Not sure if I missed something but it looked like his "Both feet" were the left foot 2x.
Everyone focused on the "shin" It looks like the right foot did no come down until his left was totally out of bounds.
I thought that too, but even if it’s the same leg anything other than the foot would count. The shin definitely touched before the knee went out, so that counts as a foot + another body part.-

Damn. Really nice writeup, @SDS. Another TBD old timer gone. I always enjoyed his Bills optimism.

True, but also you were a kid like eight or nine decades ago.

I started the somewhat infamous WR thread lol and said this is the most complete O under 17,OL ,run game and with Coopnow WR, was dead wrong on that btw and the D looks phenomenal, gets a very very good Von back, hopefully Benard but they're playing this scheme at an extremely high level
Sky is the limit for both groups and the team
Props for owning that one.

Yeah, I watched it. There was absolutely NOTHING scary about Miami. Tua has started 3 games. The terrible Jaguars fumbled away the first one. The Bills put their foot up Miami’s ass in the 2nd one, and they got beat by the Cardinals in the 3rd one. All at home. Miami is not a good football team. Sure, upsets happen but the Bills will shred that Miami defense once again this Sunday.I mean, to be fair, Achane is outstanding and a pretty big threat if we can't take him out of his game.

Not sure they are going to roll him out there this Sunday. To be safe, wouldn't you ramp him up by letting him practice for a week? Hasson Riddick of the Jets didn't play the Steelers game, but I do admit it's a bit different for Von who had the whole training camp and played the first 4 games.
Why not? It's not like he was injured, he's just been waiting around to play, working out, staying in shape, and probably studying film. He's got to be itching to get out there and cause havoc.
