    I just can't handle a week of "See this is why we never trust the Bills" all over the TV.

     

    I stop watching and listening to sports for 4 days after a Bills loss... Long week at work this week, really need a win.

    You mean two weeks. With the bye, we'll be living with the media (and fan) narrative for a long time. I hope it's a good one. I hate that lazy "good Josh/bad Josh" story line. So many people want him to fail. 

  2. I was impressed that the Bills offense went from a very-run heavy game against the Pats directly to a very pass-heavy game against the Seahawk. Daboll is innovative and flexible, a dangerous combination when you're on the other side. I can see him keeping the Cardinals off balance with some new twists today, maybe bringing Dawson into the game in deep outs (and making him earn his pay finally; I bet he's desperate to prove himself). I'd say look for a lot of Singletary, Moss and designed QB runs today. I'd love to see some sweeps and screens, too, especially some more "Smoke screens." On defense, losing Wallace may be more of a plus than a minus, sorry to say. He has value as a nickel back, maybe in Tauron's role, but that's about it. Marlowe and Wallace are the real losses. Bad timing. I wonder if Jaquon Johnson will finally get his chance. He's very small but very talented.

    Levi is healthy. He’s not great but tbh I trust him more than Norman 

    Oh, yes. I'm guessing Beane and McD. had Norman in mind strictly for nickel or dime, not CB. He can't cover the long speed anymore. I wonder if he can replace Tauron at nickel, though. 

  4. Zooming out a bit, I don't think the Bills have changed much at all since the start of the season. They never were as good as the hype early on, nor are they as awful as the disparagement they're getting now (Bleacher Report just called them "lightweights"). On balance, I'd say they're about as good as they were last year. There's hope, though: the potential of the offense (getting Smokey, Ford and Feliciano back) PLUS the potential of the defense (Milano and Levi back, Dane Jackson emerging, Tremaine regaining form, some 1-technique guy stepping up) exceeds last year potential. They still can be a dominant team if all the pieces fall into place.

  5. McDermott benching Murphy and Harrison reminded me of Levy  refusing to play rookie Henry Jones against Washington in the second Super Bowl even though our safeties sucked, and later benching run stuffers John Parrella and James Patton in the last Super Bowl when Dallas ran the ball down our throats. Murphy and Harrison might not have been playing well, but they're probably our best linemen against the run. Fine not to start them--send a message--but to inactivate them? No hindsight is needed to see this as just bad coaching, especially on a rainy day when it was pretty likely the Chiefs would try to run the ball.
