Phillips especially. I'd sort of forgotten what a beast he was. Also, I know it's a simple typo, but I love the name Shag Lawson. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wasn't worried about the defense and although they made big plays last week, they aren't consistent in any phase of the game anymore. Some weeks the pass rush looks good other weeks it doesn't. Some weeks they avoid the big pass play. Other weeks they don't and honestly the run D is mediocre at best. Injuries to Milano and Edmunds really hurt early. However, Wallace, Klein and others are wildly inconsistent. Also where is our LB depth after Klein. Honestly, the Bills needed to find some help on defense at the trade deadline if they want to win a playoff game. Maybe someone will cut a decent player that we can utilize. I think they've been missing alot of players this season and their depth is getting tested and exposed. Players are being forced to play in spots where they weren't expected to. Star being gone has changed roles for many of their interior linemen. I think Jefferson was going to split time between DE and DT and is now forced into a full time DT role. Milano has played only 2 full games. Edmunds looks hurt when he's playing. Klein was likely expected to fill in for Lorenzo Alexander's LB role, so maybe 30% of the snaps, and instead is being counted on to play all of them because of Milano. Norman and Wallace have both been hurt and missed large parts of the season. Edited November 12, 2020 by Lanny 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it's great that fans support Josh Allen. It seems like a strange commentary on our society that it took a sport figure's grandmother passing away for them to get it. I hear you. There’s something *very* specific going on with Bills Nation and Josh Allen. Maybe not all of it entirely healthy? On balance though, it’s setting up to be beautiful and enduring. Prominent NFL players have close family members pass away several (?) times a season. You rarely (never?) hear anything like this coming from it. Also worth pointing out that the Andy Dalton experience greased the skids. Finally, it’s often the case that people need to be (feel) inspired in order to give to a charitable cause. I think about something like Live Aid. Why did Queen need to rock the stage so that comfortable English people would help starving people in Africa? Not sure - but it’s an old story.

There are established metrics, thresholds. Of course, those may vary from organization to organization (i.e., the NFL’s standards may differ from, say, a local college). Also, there’s some “art” to the scientific process of determining who’s in and who’s out. I’d been fairly ambivalent about what Norman’s brought to the team. Him having Covid isn’t helping.
