Who do you take off the field to put Williams as the 3rd LB? Groot? AJ?
Not happening.
Let's not overthink this.
Well, technically it would probably be Taron, but I certainly wouldn't want to take him off the field for any reason.

Selfishly I'd love another international game - London was a blast. As it now stands, next year's road schedule is lame, none of those cities looks like a fun place to go party for a weekend.
Atlanta's not bad...

Did anyone notice if spags was lining up Jones on the edge at all yesterday. I know he plays that card in the playoffs.
I didn't notice that but Marino on his podcast was talking about Van Demark's play and that he did well even with Jones lined up across from him a couple times.

I guess I'm in the minority, but I saw that and watched it multiple times, and I actually thought it was his last-gasp attempt to knock the ball out (just way off target). I thought it was much more convincing than that ridiculous player from the Colts.

A lot of current NFL fans have no patience. Back in the day, you didn't think twice about a guy taking two or three years to develop (unless he was a high draft pick---1st/2nd rounder). Curtis Samuel nursing a turf toe is another example...so many fans wrote him off already. Terrell Bernard is another example (wasted draft pick, barely played his rookie year). Shakir is another guy. And the list goes on. Some players just need a little time to develop, heal, acclimate to a new team/QB, or whatever their circumstance is. But most fans don't want to wait for it. If it's not there immediately...move on. We are actually very lucky. We have a staff that is very good in the player development area...sometimes you just have to wait for it.
And yeah, Cam has been ballin' out!
Part of it also is that the Bills have had stability in the coaching staff for many years now. It’s hard to develop younger players over several years when the staff is constantly turning over. Once a new head coach comes in with his staff, many of those development players, drafted by the previous regime, are dumped—or they get new position coaches and/or new systems, and end up not really developing at all.McD and his staff are very good at developing young talent, and it also helps that they and the system have been around now for many years.

If they can put cameras in pylons, why can't they put a camera inide the top of both uprights looking straight up??
That way they would have a clear view of wether the ball went directly over the upright or not.
Seems like a simple fix to me.
Might be tough to make a call especially if there is just enough wind to make the uprights shake a bit.w

It’s good for my health, better for theirs.
Telling your boss oh it was a Bills game last night doesn’t seem to have much impact when you’re working out of Durango, Colorado. I personally think they just need to get on board.
Looking forward to James Cook getting 12+ rushing TDs after the break and more people talking about it. AFC Kamara.
Durango is a pretty cool place!

Sure would like to see a couple of TDs tomorrow by #88 again, just like in that game...

But where can you find dirt at OBD?
I mean, there's a literal mountain of dirt sitting just outside the new stadium.

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.

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*.
