On we go.
Here's to Ralph Wilson, Wellington Mara, Bob Timberlake, and Pete Gogolak for making the Super Bowl possible. Great story if you want to check it out.

I honestly had to get onlne and look at the Bills depth chart to see who plays for them. I have to admit I haven't watched a game the Bills have played in for years they are just one of those teams I know nothing about.
Did you know Micah Hyde plays for them?
And he's played at a very high level there. How good would he look in our secondary right now?

Yes, he made pro bowl last year. Their safeties are solid and Tradavious White is a solid corner. Jerry Hughes had big game rushing the passer vs Vikes. Online is weak and receivers are worst in league, Kelvin Benjamin has had the dropsies.
We'll see. I'm sure that's what the 17 point favorite Vikings thought.
We opened as 10.5 point favorites. Too high for me.
No. I mean when an offense is struggling, especially their pass catchers, GB's secondary will cure their ills. Sorry. I'm having flashbacks lately.
This will be a good measure of this teams grit. The Bills D is legit. Let's see how the players and coaches have accepted their sloppy 1-1-1 start and if they can perform to their potential.

You go back to that Dallas/GB Playoff game after the 2016 season, they might not win that game without Micah Hyde. He showed a sign of what he could do in that game with some of the big plays he made.

Looking forward to watching Jim Kelly throw to Andre Reed.
Their D Line ate up the Queens. I'm not sure our OL is much better. Have to chip Jerry Hughes, give help. Screen pass game should be a staple this week.
I thought Kelvin Benjamin could be Herman Moore.
I was rong
MM is too stubborn on giving the OL help, even Spriggs.
What is the over/under on Micah Hyde posts?
Aaron Rodgers needs to practice with the team. If he cant then start Kizer.
To think Rodgers can just roll up on Sunday and knock out the game plan with no reps is wrong.
Rodgers is out at practice again today. This really, really matters on game day.

Wasn't he the racist guy?
Ok, I've shared here before how the only two times I've made the trip from Rochester to Lambeau have turned out to be the games after Rodgers broke his collarbone. This year I arranged to go to Bill's game so naturally I had a stroke when he was carted off during Bears game. I wish he was totally healthy for this one, but at least I'm not laying out tix, airfare, rental car and hotel to see Seneca Wallace, Scott Tolzien and Brett " Bazooka Joe" Hundley. Wondered who else from this site will be at game?

I first heard this argument on NFL Radio prior to the Redskins game. I scoffed then realized during that game how correct this argument is. I agree. Let's hope Rodgers proves us wrong!
Bahktiari is going to have to have a big game this week. Jerry Hughes was credited with 10 pressures, a sack and forced fumble last week vs Queens going against Reilly Reiff. LeSean McCoy will also be returning to Bills this week (hide your jewelry) after sitting out last week with rib cartilage injury. Bad time to lose Wilkerson.

*Raises hand*
Will a Bills fan in tow, as well.
10 things I'd like to see this week.
1. 15 touches for Aaron Jones. 20 would be even better but I think 15 should be the minimum. I don't care if it only nets 30 yards. At least they tried to get the ball to him. I do think that 15 would net 80 or more even with this Bills defense. Get another 5-10 touches for Jamal Williams. Give up on the Ty Montgomery thing already.
2. More consistency from the defense. They have played well in at least 1/2 a game for the first 3 games. It's time to put together a 4 quarter effort.
3. Someone besides Cobb on punt returns. Cobb is pretty good at this and sure handed but it's a high risk position to put him in and it seems like 90% of the time he's calling for a FC anyway. I'd like to see Alexander returning punts. I think he could be a poor mans Deion Sanders there.
4. Someone besides Ty Montgomery on KO returns. He's too stiff. Valdes-Scantling should be returning kickoffs.
5. Keep Rodgers in the 30's for drop back attempts. And keep his jersey clean.
6. Get Tramon some snaps at safety. Get Josh Jones back on the active roster. Less Brice.
7. Probably will get lost in the numbers game but it would be nice to see Jamon Moore active.
8. How about a Mercedes Lewis sighting? See: running game
9. Nick Perry might be out with a concussion. Time for Reggie Gilbert to flash that preseason potential in a meaningful game.
10. With Wilkerson out for the year Adams or Lowry need to step up and grab that open spot.
I will be at the game with my wife, my season-ticket-holder brother and his wife.
Spriggs and inability to commit to TE help/run game.
Good chance the Packers will get boatraced like the Vikings.
Montgomery has actually been pretty productive with his snaps. He's not as dynamic as Jones after the mesh point but he's had some big runs and passes out of the backfield. He's more valuable as an WR/RB than pure RB but he poses matchup problems and has been cashing in. You keep him involved in the O and the O will benefit.
I have been pounding sand for Marcedes to be mixed in with 2TE sets. The only play I noticed him on last week was a complete wiff on a block that got AR sacked in the first half. Hopefully just a glitch for him.

We do what we do.
People need remember how many new elements there are on O on top of the fact AR isn't practicing. We're used to seeing a proficient offense that typically has little change from year to year. Only 2.5 of their WR's have any experience. RB has been a shuffle since Lacy blowed up. OL has had a lot of turnover. Starting TE's are also new in town.
I think the offense is still developing and there is a lot to be excited about. Just have to find a way to hold their ground on the OL and work through the growing pains.
I, my son and grandson will be there. Row 1, visitor's side. Hope the rain holds off.
I expect a better game from the offense. Rodgers will actually practice more this week. Bulaga will probably play and Cobb won’t drop a dry ball. All three RBs will play and do well against a tough defense but the other Aaron will be the best. Our defense will be tested by the long ball. Teams have seen our weak point and will test it with a strong armed QB who also has the threat of running. I expect at least one RTP call...
But I really think we will do better,call me an optimist.
Is there info out there that Bulaga will play? Just really concerned that he's now having back issues.
Allen sounds like the kind of QB that could eviscerate Dom via long ball/running. Burks should help with a shadow on the runs and yes, hopefully we get improved play out of the safetys.
Very PAWsative news:
Aaron Rodgers (knee) and Jimmy Graham (knee) both returned to practice. So did CB Kevin King (groin), who missed last week. This is Rodgers' first Thursday pads practice since Week 1. https://t.co/jOfAG1ExnB pic.twitter.com/aRGwlavz1h

Only three players not practicing; Nick Perry (concussion), Muhammad Wilkerson (ankle) and Justin McCray (shoulder). Perry was watching practice — a sign he's progressed through the protocol. https://t.co/2f2ufA2OIq

Alexander on punts? They have enough problems in the defensive backfield, don't need Alexander to get hurt.
Mike Prior did it first.

Honestly I think Cobb would be a bigger loss than Alexander right now. Assuming that King's groin issue doesn't linger too much longer. If we are going to have a starter returning punts I'd rather have the younger fresher legs back there.
Alexander and Valdes-Scantling. Make it happen, Zook!
