Ray Davis fits Buffalo nicely, hard nosed with great vision for a RB. |

First time in a while where 'bend don't break' didn't have a big breakdown. - Lunaion
I just hope at some point they realize that does not work against the good teams. They give teams way to much space in coverage knowing at some point there will be a penalty/bad throw/drop.
But playoff time against good teams that a recipe for disaster. We play that defense against Burrow and we are toast. |

This current Bills team isn’t perfect but just win the division. Like I said after the Texans game.
That Texans loss means nothing. Just win the division and see what happens.
With the jets and dolphins are 2-5. How many more wins do we need |

Tua comes back next week a workmate said this am. Not sure how accurate that is, but he is a difference maker in that offensive system. |

If I remember rightly, he came back out after that. Haven't heard any news, but sounded like was just a tweak. |

Thought he came back from the Head Injury but went to the Lockeroom for the Ankle. I could have missed it though |

I was thinking the same, but then thought I was seeing him in on tackles afterwards. Maybe I'm mixing up him and Benford's number or something. Can't find anything new online, but it does say he left the game for both the head and ankle injuries, nothing about a return on either...so who knows. My bad if this is fake news. |

No worries Quinner! Just was trying to find stuff. Would be a big loss again if it's more than a tweak. |

What do you expect to change? It's been the same D for years. Same strengths and weaknesses every year.
A lot rests on a the LB's. Will they ever be healthy?

If the Bills win their games against the Jets and Dolphins, I don't think the Jets can catch them. They'd have to go 9-0 just to get to 11-6 and they'd lose the tie breaker. Dolphins would have to go 9-1. Neither seems likely.
So 6-4 with Ws over the Jets, Dolphins, Pats x2, Seahawks and Colts. Bills can lose to the Chiefs, Lions, Rams and 49ers and it won't matter. Even 5-5 with wins over miami and new york means it's likely over |

Winning the division looked very difficult heading in to the season. That crumbled unimaginably fast.

Hard not to be scared by years of their D being a speedbump in the playoffs against top teams.

Well there weak inside the Hash marks and they get exploited come playoffs. And there D line tends to get manhandled. |

They also get consistently destroyed by screens and TE's.

I think to a degree they allow it because they're never allowing anything deep. |

6 years and 3 coaches later and Henri Jokiharju is somehow still the best option they have to pair with Dahlin |

Think they have very limited options. A 2 RD 3rd pair doesn't work. It's gross that KA does this to his coaches, even if it's what Donnie asked for.

Interesting discussion.
I did a high-level scan of the lines through NST for each of the games and found a mixed bag.
Benson does improve the line's advanced stats, but even w/o Benson, that line does ok w/ Scoring Chances For and High Danger Chances.
Tells me the pucks aren't getting on net or are not taken frequently enough.
Quinn needs to step up as does Cozens.
Edit, I kinda liked my suggestion from the weekend...
Benson - Kulich - Cozens/Quinn.
Let Those two guys battle for the RW position |
