Dr. K

Not surprising. Daboll knows him. I expect he'll see the field a lot more in NY.

Yeah, they do! And nobody in the NFL has written a better play than Marlowe’s DR. FAUSTUS. Plus, he’s a great private eye.

If the Bills also traded to Dean Marlowe, I'm much more pleased by that.

I really don't see this trade as improving the running game. He'll be no help whatsoever with the short yardage difficulties. Singletary is much better than he is, and we haven't seen enough of Cook to know whether he could do what Hines does. I'm with those who think Moss is going to show much better than Hines for the rest of their careers. As others have said, this leaves the Bills with zero power running option (not that Moss was tearing it up in that area).

I hope this satisfies those fans who want the Bills to acquire somebody just to acquire somebody. I'm sick of that kvetching and I was not convinced they needed to do this. Or if they did need to, I was more worried about safety and backup o-line than running back, frankly. I don't see how this is going to help the Bills with their biggest problem in running, short yardage situations, at which they have been terrible. But certainly Beane knows more about what they need and who fills the bill than I do.

The ball absolutely hit the ground.

I remember that Falcons game, and yes, he looked really bad, inexplicably, in that game. Especially since it came late in the season right after they had beaten the Pats in New England and he was playing his best ball. I think even a freak like Allen will have those bad stretches. I expect he will get it out of his system against the Jets.

Very ugly second half. Reminds me of the Atlanta game last season. Allen can hope that’s his worst of the season.

The new stadium is on the other side of Abbott Road. So it would be a very long tunnel.

Exactly. Take those routes away and force Tua to throw outside the numbers, and he will collapse like a cheap tent.

Watch out for Cincinnati. They are going to be hard to beat for the rest of the season.

Take away passes between the hash marks and Tua will be useless.

Not so much these days.

No relation to Dwight Gooden (if you remember him). I am a college professor/writer, the kind of Ph.D. doctor who can't cure anything but your bad grammar but can tell you all about Herman Melville, and my last name starts with a "K."

Who cares, as long as the Bills are in it?

It doesn’t matter what they say. I’d just as soon have them talk down the Bills as much as possible. The proof will be when the Bills win the title.

RIP Dan Quisinberry. I was a fan of him--great relief pitcher for Royals.

Do you really think, if the Bills had the success that the Chiefs have had, that Bills fans would be any better? That there wouldn't be just as many Bills fans who would act like jerks about the team? To imagine so is, in my opinion laughable.

I lived in Kansas City for many years, and have an affection for the place and the people there. They are for the most part decent, open, midwestern folk not so different from people in Buffalo. I have never wavered in my support for the Bills, but I did become a fan of the KC Royals and that has stuck with me. Remember, before he was coach of the Bills, Marv Levy was head coach of the Chiefs.

You are very clever. Thanks!

Is there some evidence that Hodgins doesn't know the Bills' playbook?

Beasley was DONE as a Bill. I appreciated how hard he played for them, but keeping him on this team would not have done the Bills any favors.

Crowder has a broken ankle.

Idiot Tim Graham over at The Athletic singles out this play as a sign of Jackson's greatness, as if being saved by a miracle from an interception is some sign of his prowess, a "pinpoint heave" that "made possible" the catch.
