Yeah he's really turned it on this year, decent returner I think as well. It's worth a look IMO.

 

Seriously doubt Vegas will ever let him leave, but imagine Hunter Renfrow on this Bills team? Younger, quicker, and always seems to make the big play.

I'm giving away one club seat for the Jets game in the Tickets and Gear forum.

Just saw a local weather report here in Rochester about a front coming through on Sunday 🙄. Said they wernt sure of the timing yet as it's early, but could produce rain, wind and potentially snow for the game depending on when it arrives. Seriously, can we just catch a break

I have to think this is very bad for Zach Wilson. At least the bills can play defense and run the ball.

Weather has affected our opponents more negatively than the Bills. Our opponents' collective team passer rating through 8 home games this season is 60.9.

That’s less about weather and more about the quality of QBs that have played here. Wentz is at the top of that sorry list.

Are we getting Ian Eagle again or Nantz and Romo Sunday

Last year, opponents had an 82.24 rating in Orchard Park (well below league average) and over 90 when the Bills played on the road. The Bills played some very good QBs at home last year too (Mahomes, Wilson, Herbert, Goff, Roethlisberger). Allen's passer rating at home last year was over 100 -- a differential of nearly 20. In the postseason last year, over two games opponents had a 77.3 rating and the Bills team passer rating was 95.2. Again, differential is what matters. 

 

Basically, over this season, last season, and the 2020 playoffs, the Bills team passer rating differential advantage hovers at around 20 in every instance.

Gutsy move or rookie ignorance?  lol

Love it.  Regardless of what sort of career Echols carves out, he'll have that memory of intercepting the GOAT for all time.  It was a total show of respect, and I'm glad Brady didn't turn him down.

don’t you love how consistently the worst window of weather every week in Buffalo is exactly during game time? 
 

BTW, wind gusts at game time are estimated to be around 30 MPH. 

[Bob in STL]

We never worried about weather in the Kelly/Marv era.  We actually welcomed bad weather.  

 

It just shows how much the game has changed, and how differently the two Bills teams are built.    The "If its too tough for them its just right for us" mentality is gone.  

 

Daboll better have a run game, with a run package, in the game plan.  Not only for this week but for next week as well.  We need to 

have a more diverse attack and not depend on Allen passes and Allen runs for 90 % of our yards.

I really like Hunter Renfrow as well. Would love him as a Beasley replacement if he ever hits FA.

A few things were the reason for this:

 

*  The Bills had a HOF RB and a back-up RB that would have started for most teams. 

 

*  The Bills had an O-line with multiple all pros.

 

*  The expectations of QB play and offensive production in bad weather in Rich Stadium games was a lot more realistic then the video game expectations of today.  As I showed yesterday with a post detailing some of Kelly's less then great home games, the Bills often won these games sloppy and absent "good" QB play. The key here is understanding that "good"QB play in bad weather conditions is a completely different thing then hen the weather is good.

 

Going forward next season the Bills have to add a BIGGER RB to complement Singleterry; a second TE that can block/catch the ball; one BIG nasty guard and at least one BIG WR. If thy do this they will be able to handle the bad weather that is Buffalo in November - January.

We get Kevin Harlan for the finale!  Love that guy's energy.

Yeah, but to win the Super Bowl a great passing game is a must.  Weather will always been good for SB given the venues, like LA this year.  Ground and pound not ideal in the ultimate game.

Dont worry, Daboll will still call a bunch of Josh designed runs just to show how much of a maverick he is up there in the warm booth sitting on his as$
