Okposo looked totally washed today. He led the team in dump-and-changes playing against AHL guys. Do we really have to play this guy?

From NFL.com per Gregg Rosenthal:

Bills coach Sean McDermott is the rare defensive coordinator-turned-head coach who has embraced an aggressive offensive philosophy because he saw that a sound defense and running game would only take him so far. The Colts may learn a similar lesson Saturday.


This can't be right.

Would rather him go to the Jets then the Chargers.

Daboll and Herbert would be unfair

The Jets are in our division are you serious?

Sorry but I don’t believe you are right at all. I said it before and I’ll say it one last time. I wouldn’t worry about Hutton as the backup but I’m not sure about Ullmark as the starter. He has the tools and if he does grab hold of the number one job this team will make some noise as a playoff team.
Do not empty the cupboards on any upgrade.

Hutton had a below .900 save% last year

marty was talking about a pure shutdown line to go against the opposition's top line which means a lot of ice-time for the likes of eakin, okposo, gus/his replacement...the third scoring line could very well be centered by routsalainen with tage on the right side...

if that were to be the case, a top-six role on the right side for cozens might be where they end up going...or if olofsson moves to the right side, maybe left wing on that third scoring line...

a lot of ??? right now but we saw today how much of a difference being in game-shape and game-ready (routsolainen) can make...especially on a team where a vast majority of the players haven't played in 10 months

From my understanding the Chargers GM and Daboll don’t like each other.

This goes all the way back to their high school days.

But you are correct in that that combination could be deadly.

I may be crazy but I’m also right. Shouldn’t do it anyway as he is one of the top scorers so far this season.

This is an interesting one: the Bills are scheduled to tryout QB Chad Kelly, nephew of the legendary Jim Kelly.

Perhaps a look at a possible reserve/future candidate.

Yup he looked bad. Good thing he ordered his peloton 4 months after covid and didn’t workout at all at the beginning

Eww ..... easy pass. The funny part is. With the broncos he was 1 week away from starting.

Then was on drugs or drunk in a strangers apartment sitting on the couch

Cut the next day

I believe the Bills and the Colts are the two best teams equipped to beat the Chiefs this year.

It’s a shame they meet in the wild card round this feels like a divisional playoff matchup

The colts have a QB that can’t throw it over 20 yards in a dome.

The colts have some god awful loses too.

They almost lost to the jags on Sunday.

Their defense hasn’t been good for a few games

I find it interesting they are bringing him in now

Like they could have brought him in during last off season...I think they wanted to make sure Allen was the guy before bringing in the "bloodline".

Plus as a player he isn't bad, he's just not good at the whole being a decent person thing
