I have never seen a defence play that much cover 0 in my life.

They sent people every play.

Hopefully Pittsburgh does the same and the Bills are more prepared.

Sad part is he’s one of the few guys who can hold his own physically. He’s like the only guy not named Okposo that weighs at least 200 lbs.

Lost in the Buffalo sports shuffle this weekend was UB going up 18 at DePaul and then holding on for dear life to end DePaul's 9-0 start.

Steelers have a good defence. I think the Bills matchup well with them though. They should win and punch their ticket to the playoffs.

Smith-Schuster is back this week.

Yeah, was surprised the Bill's did not use 1 RB screen to try and slow them down, play calling was a head scratcher sometimes

Does Mike Tomlin win coach of the year ? He loses Big Ben, Antonio Brown, Bell, while JuJu and Connor have both missed extensive time this year and they are 8-5.

There's a lot of talk about that. Though, if San Francisco wins the Super Bowl, or even gets there, it's going to be hard to say no to Kyle Shanahan. John Harbaugh deserves that nod too. I could make an argument for Sean McDermott too but I just don't see him taking over those 3 nor do I like sounding like a homer.

Even some crossing routes or some bunch formations to allow the receivers to get free of the press man.

With no safety help they really needed to hit a few deep balls yesterday and it didn’t happen.

Emmanuel Sanders would have looked good in a Bills uniform yesterday 🤷🏻‍♂️

I think McDermott belongs in the conversation, a win on Sunday will help the cause. There are still games left to be played.

It's going to be hard for them to justify not going receiver in Round 1 next year, especially given what their draft position will be.

I think it's nice that they're letting him work even though he's clearly disabled from his hips down
- jcragcrumple


Can't tell if they're playing him so much to try to move him or because they genuinely think he's effective. He's a UFA after the season; I figured they'd just consider it a sunk cost and put him in the press box.

Gotta be a showcase. Botts doesn’t let an asset walk for nothing. If he can’t move him, he will resign him, because you can’t let an asset walk for nothing....

I think it's part of Krueger's coaching technique

When Johansson had an awful game, he played him a ton the next game

Bogo was awful against Calgary, so he played him a ton the next game.

He tries to let guys play through it.

He did the same with McCabe earlier in the year until he made it painfully obvious he wasn't going to play himself out of it

You can get decent O-Line help at a reasonable price in Free Agency, and the later rounds of the draft.
