Knox had WAY too many drops to be considered a decent TE. Sure he has nice ability/potential, but there's no way to know yet if he can stop dropping the ball. "It's mental" - sure, but that doesn't make it easy to fix. I'm not sure there's any position on the offense where I'd take the Bill over the Chief, and as stated above, our OL is mediocre - too many people are fooled into thinking they were are a good line in 2019 b/c they weren't 2018's complete dumpster fire. OTOH the Bills defense is better than the Chiefs by enough that the offense doesn't need to be "top 10" like I see so many using as a benchmark - middle of the pack (aka 16th) offense would be enough to make this team 12-win material.

The OL remains a far bigger concern than Josh and certainly the DL. The OL was a mediocrity last year - they just looked good to us because they weren't the dumpster fire that was the 2018 OL. We've got to hope Ford improves, and Nsehke and Williams can stay healthy, if they are going to do anything better than be average. Star was a likely CUT before he opted out. He did not hold his ground nearly as well as you hope for for an expensive NT. Jordan Phillips was the single biggest point of failure in the run defense. Numerous instances of him getting out of position available here and elsewhere. He also would not have made this team's roster. The two of them were being replaced: Ed Oliver, Harrison Phillips, Quinton Jefferson, Vernon Butler are your DTs - which one gets cut for the two they lost? At DE Shaq was good enough, but not even a starter. Addison and Epenesa will fill in just fine.

I could picture Gore punching Gase in the mouth.

The real answer ^^^^^

Which probably won the game for the Bills Who IS a Gase-type?

Oh the glory days 4 years ago when we had 6!!! Bills named Williams AKA - TRUE "Bills" They didn't win that much, but c'mon, what's important? 2015: Aaron, Duke, Karlos, Kyle, Mario 2016: Aaron, Chris, Duke, Kyle, Mario, Mike - if only Karlos could have hung on!

I believe this. They had already signed Butler, Jefferson, Addison long before he bailed. He was a Hauschka-like gone. Addison's a DE but his signing plus Epensa reinforces the fact that Jefferson is there to play DT. Horrible Harry coming back, Oliver's not going anywhere. Butler and Jefferson signed to real contracts makes 4 DT that would start in front of both Jordan Phillips and Star. Jordan Phillips was THE major liability in multiple games - Eagles notable among them. He wasn't playing the scheme well - too much freelancing which did get him sacks but killed the Bills on runs.

From all accounts RAID doesn't matter for speed with SSDs . The improvement is barely noticeable - I foolishly went that route RAID 0 with a work machine ~6 years ago - it was pointless (and expensive for the dedicated card). RAID 10 to make a bigger, more secure against failure disk is all good if that's the aim.

This is from last year on Hard Knocks, right?

OL is the weakest position on this team. Josh Allen had the worst pass protection of any QB in Houston since David Carr played there. +The Bills have too many good DL as it is. NO

Uhm - more like they ignore doing any real research on the Bills b/c the small market doesn't matter to them.

Tampa and Indy have better futures with QBs at the end of the line and visibly in decline. NE?? LOL ESPN is garbage - yet again.

Sure - but for how long?

That's not a hint of anything about the Pats* - all he did is state who he'd prefer himself.

https://www.cnbc.com/2019/11/10/nfls-richest-billionaire-owners.html That's what CNBC says. "His company, East Resources, sold most of its assets to Royal Dutch Shell for $4.7 billion in 2010. Pegula used some of those assets to build a portfolio of sports properties, including the NHL’s Buffalo Sabres and the Bills. " For a relatively small and economically struggling city like Buffalo to have such wealthy team owners is an incredible blessing. Among other things, it means we don't need to spend a lot of time fretting about the OP... The internet. It's amazing. Also noteworthy from the list, I thought - Terry Pegula is the 2nd youngest owner in the top 10 (and the very actively involved Kim considerably younger than Terry) - so not only do we have wealthy owners (both of whom are area natives too), we probably have a lot more stability ahead than most.

Given that the poll number is running at 92.41% right now, I'd say you nailed it!!!

Sounds like he's perfect for a Gase-coached team then!

Include this closeup if they can't figure it our on their own...

TE is the only question now - and if Knox can just get rid of the drops he can join the list of plus-players on this team! Hopefully someone bought him a jugs machine for his house!

Pretty annoying since Deshaun Watson was widely praised for nearly an identical play - the difference was Watson was pitching to a veteran TE who was heads-up, Josh Allen was tossing it to the not-quite-ready-rookie Dawson Knox. So kind of Jerry Sullivan with a slightly different shtick. The main difference that Sully trolls his own fans.

Kraft's behavior involved 2x 50+ year-olds - help me with the comparison.

I'm with you on your general idea that the schedule is much harder, but Goff as a QB?? The guy is QB garbage - just behind Trubisky for the biggest bust in the last decade. They covered up his play by stocking the roster - and are now suffering the salary cap and draft pick consequences. Rams have a lock on 4th place in their division probably for a few years. You also left out Wentz and Dak from last year so a bit misleading.

I care less about when except that it seems a bit silly to delay a late Summer start when that is most likely the BEST time to be playing with a looming fall rebound in the disease. I guess my version would be get started, play as much as works, if it rebounds pause - not cancel - and resume again after the second wave.

Bad math dude. it's a ratio of .0097 which equals .97% NOT .0097%. Roughly 1/100 which is pretty much what has been suspected all along. Makes it 10 times as deadly as the flu with the massive downside that it's more contagious because the symptoms often don't show (and we don't have a vaccine). As I said - bad math in Gordio's post. If it were really .01% it would have killed only 33K Americans after it had infected everyone - and that's a number we are proven not to care about. Comparable with the annual flu: https://www.cdc.gov/flu/about/burden/preliminary-in-season-estimates.htm But again - the offered math was off by a factor of ONE HUNDRED.

I suspect that number is low by a couple of digits, but if it really were that low, it would be insanity to disrupt the world for such a small number. We all have to die of something, and most things come in a lot higher that .009%. We don't live our lives around it.
