Of course it does! When we choke down this garbage: https://nypost.com/2025/08/27/lifestyle/how-to-get-food-freebies-to-celebrate-taylor-swift-travis-kelce-engagement/ 😔😟 I just got diabeetus:

Veteran salary for PS is $17,500 to $22,000 per week. So his salary is somewhere between $315-396K assuming 18 weeks.

AND people only use the towels with clean hands AND pull fresh towel from it. NOT as bad as it looks... Maybe a little blue light would go miles in the psychological department.😏

Both of those were top quality starting players that we traded Day 2 Picks for. We're not talking about Amari Cooper level WR's or the kind of quality CB that Rasul Douglas (who was specifically traded for bc he was extremely adept at Zone coverage) was in 2023. We're talking about Practice Squad level players with "potential". You said those kind of players "get signed off the street mid season and learn enough of the playbook to play all the time", "like every season". Those two don't apply to that statement.

Before the season started, Shakir was getting nowhere near the love he did once the season was underway. Ty Johnson started '24 as third on the depth chart, and finished listed as co-#2. But yes, I believe he will continue to be utilized as the third down back, as I said. I'm not sold on Palmer, as most folks on here are, any more than I was on MVS last season. Who knows? But, I have no idea what your point is. Are you saying that Allen won't average 8+ different targets a game, as he did last season? I don't think you are. But, you do seem to be suggesting that Moore, Shavers, etc. will not have the opportunity to move up in this offense the way Hollins did last season, which I certainly do not agree with. Not saying they will, but they will have the opportunity.

Depends on who they got to replace Andy. I could see a new coach come in and keep the same playbook and let Pat do his thing and not mess anything up. Sort of like Barry Switzer did with Troy Aikmen and the Cowboys.

Actually most people thought Shakir followed by Kincaid would receive the lions share of targets following Diggs’ departure. As to Ty Johnson, he is the 3rd back in the RB rotation. As much as we the fans like him, he only had 25 targets last season. Baring injury to Cook or Davis (G-d forbid) his role will remain similar to last season. Josh attempted only 483 passes last season (all attempts 495) the second lowest he’s attempted in a full season. If you round that to 500 attempts, how are you allocating between Palmer, Kincaid, Shakir, Coleman, Cook, Davis, Johnson, Knox, Hawes, Shavers, Moore and Samuel? Last season, the top 4 pass catchers received 57% of the targets. With the addition of Palmer, a healthy Kincaid and an improved Coleman, I’m expecting that number to increase to 62-65%. Also the backs had 17% of the targets. I’m expecting that to remain steady. That only leaves 20% (or about 100 targets) of the targets to be allocated between, Moore, Shavers, Samuel, Knox and Hawes.

Why "other than a heavy defensive draft"? Why leave that out, and the same with "no eye popping free agents"? If Joey Bosa isn't an eye-popping free agent, your definition is arguably too narrow. Bosa - if healthy, a legitimate concern - shows every sign of making a serious difference. Same with Hoecht although I hadn't expected him to be as good as he has seemed to be in camp. And our two rookie DTs are making plays, Sanders here and there and Walker fairly often. They'll show a lot of inexperience, particularly early in the year but around halfway though they're reasonably likely to start making a visible difference, IMO. There's also the chances of real second-year improvement from guys like Cole Bishop, Coleman, Van Pran-Granger and Ray Davis. I'm a bit less hopeful about Solomon, but if we're lucky. There's reasons for concern as well. The injuries in the d-backfield sure haven't helped. But I think there's very reasonable likelihood for last year's terrific offense to play in the same neighborhood and for the defense to take some real steps forward, particularly in terms of the pass rush. On a team that came very close to the Super Bowl last year, that's a hopeful outlook. The rubber's got to meet the road. Still a lot to prove, but the same is true for every team every year, really.

The Eagles did this last year, and I’d say it worked out very well for them

They dropped Keleki Latu (who made some nice plays blocking, and on ST) off the PS, I assume to make room Poyer. A bit surprising to me, as there are no TEs now on the PS. I suspect this PS is not altogether set...

I agree. I never watched before, so I hadn't seen players cut. I'm sure a part of me might enjoy seeing them go through that but it just seems wrong.

It's remarkable to me that you leave out Ty Johnson, whose receiving abilities, along with his pass pro, make him what Josh Allen refers to as "the best third-down back in the league." He will likely be relied upon every game in third down situations. Those receptions aren't "leftovers." In 2024, Allen averaged 8-9 receiving targets per game, and only two players saw more than 60 targets in the regular season (Shakir, and Kincaid). But it's way too early to say who's going to get the bulk of targets for the season, anyway. I don't imagine anybody was predicting last September that Mack Hollins would get over 50 targets on offense-- fourth most on the team. I don't think there were too many people who predicted Shakir was going to explode into the team's leading receiver at 100 reg-season targets. (Shoutout to @Alphadawg7, who did make that prediction). Samuel, Shavers, Moore, and the rest will get their opportunities on offense, and if one of them shows up more than the others, they will get more targets. For all we know, Josh Palmer could be this year's MVS. Be that as it may, my point stands. It'll be fun to see how many different receivers Josh hits in a game.

Let me know if anything becomes available. Thanks all

We traded for Amari Cooper last year mid season. we traded for Rasul Douglas midseason the year prior. The defense and offense weren’t that complicated for 2 vets to come in and contribute without practice squad reps.

I remember Yankee talking heads saying he was like Gunnar Henderson. Well a couple of years latter it looks like they were wrong. But never fear, his agent is Scott Boras which means he will be a FA in a few years and could be a Yankee

No sense in Mitch playing and your giving White some seniority by allowing other teams to make their decisions on him free of injury. Buechele Needed the tape as well. Looks like it turned out ideal for everyone. Let’s question something else how

Why wouldn’t teams go CB/CB in the draft.. first and second rounds. If you have one ONLY, Benford, why not? Best case is they both start in nickel. The best of the duo plays outside corner, other guy nickel with TJ7. The competition pushes them to their max potential. Win-win-win. Worst case should be that you’ve got your CB2 no doubt and the other guy is Elam.

he is going to get cut when we bring hairston and gable off IR

I find this whole thread to be batshit crazy. They are going to get married and it has absolutely no effect on any of our lives.

The Bills always make it look hard. Big plays, a lot of times they’re broken plays and Allen scrambles to throw or scrambles to run (someone over). What I’d love to see is the Bills get more creative in the element of short yardage passing designs tobe called in RB running play situations. Know what I mean? The screen game to anyone but Shakir is weak to the point of completely counterproductive. We know they used to be good at tight end play designs.. where those been?? Have the play callers.. Dorsey and Brady.. been to Josh dependent on what they are signaling in and not working hard to be innovative and expansive? Imagine if Josh had an experienced master play designer and game day caller. How about a defensive coordinator that knew how to screw up an opposing QB’s afternoon in the playoffs.. Because bottom line is he has not had any of that so far.

Did you even read? Nothing we stated said that you are just making stuff up

Was watching/listening to a podcast on the YouTube where a guy that was totally committed to his take that the Bills and the Chiefs are at exactly the same spot as last year, all things considered. Basically, nothing’s changed. Until they beat them in the playoffs it does not matter… ….if we brought in Garrett AND Parsons. It would only matter AFTER they beat the Chiefs in the playoffs. Ya wanna know what I’m really disgusted by… is that bad thought creeping’ into my head that this is all a dream and McDermott and ALL the Bills coaches, and front office staff, and almost the whole roster is just simply average. Middle of the pack. And that it’s Josh Allen who is the whole f’ing show. Like for reals. That frightens me to hell.

"overburdened with mitochondrial challenges" indeed

What the hell is that supposed to mean? I was asking about the strange numbers you were writing to me. 1 hr and 54 seconds? Are you being some kind of fukwit, or worse? Or perhaps, we have no idea what each other is talking about. What does 1hr 54 seconds mean?
