What is your objective?  Please stop with this…

Serious question, why? There's def luck at play here, but also testament to out med staff and that state of the art facility

He said Allen went down and got back up? I think we are too critical of Thad sometimes 🤷🏻‍♂️

I am aware of what he said and how he said it.  That is the basis for offering criticism.

I am loving the reports of the defense stepping up so far.  Dont get me wrong I love offense, but the bigger weakness coming into this season was our defense.  They were good last year, but they didn't have the edge to them where you felt you could count on them in big moments or against better teams.  Looking forward to seeing this unit tested out the gate against the Rams offense.  

I characterize last year’s D as good but far from dominant. And I think that’s just the nature of McFrazier’s schemes more than anything else.

I don't know if I agree with it being a scheme issue.  

 

It's really hard, in todays NFL, to have a clutch/dominant Defense - especially against elite QB's - without a reliable pass rush.  

 

Replace Hughes or Addison with Von last year and we are the reigning Super Bowl Champions.  That Defense, even without Tre, isn't getting torched by Mahomes evading pressure all day.

I think he's only allowed to report the negative camp news TBH.

This year will be the test.  We have a legit pass rushing DE, a solid interior rusher in Oliver, and maybe we have something in AJ or Rousseau.  This D should be scary in obvious passing situations.

We learned early on to couch the news in a certain way, like “everything turned out fine, but you’re not going to believe what your son did at school today”. It heads off that sinking feeling of terror in your gut. “It’s ok, alright, tell me the rest”. But that doesn’t get as many clicks, I guess.

That works some with skunk spray, but the Jets are in another league all together. Worth a shot I guess. Nothing to lose but some tomato juice!

Isn’t Knox like the 4th or 5th best TE in football?  How much better can they get?  It’ll have to be a first round pick and probably not where the Bills are picking.

We’ve been so starved for good TE play that we think last year he was a stud…compared to other TE, though, he was solid, but nothing special imo

The most TE dependent of the top 15 TE's in the NFL last year...but he did have some big TD's for the Bills in the playoffs. He is in his FA year...so he needs to produce or they move on. Of more concern to me is the zero mentions of anything OJ Howard has done on the field. Zero.

No, he’s really not.

Knox has a flaw he has stone hands he’s a terrific athlete and not a bad blocker also will make amazing catches but he has a flaw he drops easy passes. 
Now you know why he loves to play with Allen. Josh makes anyone look good certainly not Vice Versa.

Knox has pretty bad hands.

If OJ Howard is a bigger concern then you’re expectations for him were higher than they should be. 
 

He’s mediocre.
