So, who do you all got for the PR/KR this game? Does McD trust either McKenzie or Stevenson? 
 

i would actually go back to McKenzie on punt returns, as scary as that might be. 

No chance.  Hyde and only Hyde all game.  The ball will be a brick.

i hear ya. But McKenzie gives us a chance to actually take one to the house. Plus, I worry about Hyde getting injured back there. 
 

It’s tough because we cannot have a muff.

And that’s why I don’t think there’s any chance it’s Isaiah. The way I see it, in this weather, there’s a much greater chance for a muff than there is a chance someone takes it to the house

That piece from The Athletic is REALLY SOLID. The following quote, analyzing Mac Jones's decision NOT to throw the ball downfield on a play-action opportunity, is EXACTLY how outside analysts should process their own limitations. Rare quality in the broader ecosystems of sports commentary. 

 

The author writes, "Instead, he checked the ball down. Without knowing exactly what Jones saw or what he was instructed to do, we can’t say definitively that this was a bad decision. But the point is the Patriots are going to have to capitalize when they have opportunities to make plays downfield" (emphasis mine).

It's weird w/ Edelman. I could not STAND him as a player.  Found him to be extremely annoying.  But he's kind of likeable and hilarious now.

Inside. Pats are practicing outside.

I saw some players wearing shorts at Bills practice Wednesday. I just don't get it.

Unfortunately, so many Bills fans (and fans in general) are STILL stuck on old clichés about football, and a conditioned lack of trust in organizational decisions stemming from over a decade of obvious ineptitude. But the sport in general, and the organization in particular, have evolved beyond our collective nostalgia and shared trauma. 

 

The stadium (and the internet, and the living room. or the garage or wherever) is filled with unbearable NFL experts whenever the team isn't cruising to victory. We design narratives to fit the way results interact with our beliefs.

Depends upon the wind.  They obviously don’t think McKenzie tracks the ball well enough or handles it bouncing well enough in wind.

I want whoever is the most dependable at catching the ball or getting out of the way, the offense can score the points.

I'll just stick with Micah Hyde at this point but I'd like him to actually catch the ball when it can be easily done. Against the Jets it seemed like they told him to never catch the ball, strangely.

I am curious about the percent of time the Bills practice inside ahead of a game against the Pats* versus other opponents. Can there still be concerns of outside practices being watched?

I agree, as long as there is no wind. He seems to have trouble tracking in bad conditons. Stevenson is just not savy enough at this point--my only memories of him is running straight into his own teammates. If the conditions are favorable, I go with McKenzie, he is a threat to break one every time--but how are his hands in cold weather? If not, it is Hyde.

Sure, if you find a person who spends millions of dollars producing a documentary On why they cheated and who they are, I bet he is a blast to be friends with.

Do you know why the surface of the wood finishing in the Bills WR room are so smooth? Because of Emmanuel Sanders.

100%. They have been found guilty of cheating multiple times over several years time…to think it wasn’t happening all along is naïve. Glad they aren’t my team. The wins would feel tainted because in my heart I would suspect they used extraordinary measures to accomplish their success.
