I hear you but there are certain things you can take out of that game… I mean to be that sloppy offensively(the starters) is a bit of a concern… and Dawkins looked out of shape and bad…. Elam continued to struggle and they’ll have to tinker at MLB. 

 

I'm really annoyed at all of the pre-snap penalties on offense.  I'm legitimately concerned about Dawkins, who hasn't been the same player since Covid.  I'm not particularly worried about the defense despite a couple of big plays.  The receivers look pretty damn good.

 

I still expect this team to come out on MNF and beat the Jests.  If that doesn't happen, or the team looks bad/unprepared, I will gladly concede that McD deserves scrutiny.  I'm just not willing to put much stock into preseason results, even when the starters are playing.

Gouriage will be practice squad.  He has potential but not ready for prime time yet.

Aren't you afraid some other team will steal him off of PS?

Maybe.  We’re going to lose some guys that are NFL quality players.  When you’re as good as the Bills are it’s going to happen.

speaking of the Darby to the wolves theory, i havent gone back to watch, likely wont.... but saw a few others suggest Brown was being asked to handle TJ 1 on 1 all day. Hoping thats true and part of the struggle. We still have time to correct things. Dawkins looking fat this time every year is starting to grate on me.  Stay in shape! Training camp isnt time to take the training wheels off. Show up in respectable shape conditioning wise, and not distracted with trying to get your weight down.  All focus should be on GEL'ing and setting an example for the new/young guys, you're a pro, act like it.

Yep.  And if you actually watch Brown and not just blindly yell about him, you’ll see he did a good job against Watt.
