Injuries are working their way up the list of major issues.

This is going well.

That injury report is insane

SC, I’ve now been saying this for weeks. Some posters called me too Pollyanna about the team, but this is a systemic problem. Beane screwed up the WR room royally, McD bears blame for continuing to support ready and even Babich. The solution is simple. Terry steps in, and dictates, not asks McD to take over defensive play calling duties, Babich can manage practice, camp, etc. Beane is told he’s done at the end of the year. Terry personally calls Daboll and asks him with his wallet to come back. It is non negotiable. The first pick will be a trade up for a WR. McD has done a lot of good for this team, so that’s why I’m not saying to can him, and besides when he takes over defensive play calling, we always look a lot better.

I wondered the same other than it was dead cap. As far as purely talent, Moore could’ve been better. He was misused by Brady (shocker). I pray it’s Cooks, Davis/Shavers alternating, and Shakir. Kinkaid was limited TR so we’ll see. If he’s a little banged up, just use Knox wisely. What worries me is no Brown and Dawkins.

the GM caused this money issue with bad contracts... and you don't have to spend a lot of money to get get good players its called a draft.. but apparently he not good at those either. the rams managed to win a Super Bowl and do a full rebuild and they look like one of the best teams out there AGAIN. meanwhile we have the reigning MVP and cant even get to the Super Bowl, because the HC could not stop and team march down the field with 13 freaking sec... 13. What a joke.

I'm curious to see if anyone signs Moore to become a starter. He would likely get more reps, and possibly even be featured. How is no one talking about this?

Bills 17-15 Steelers

We would have to clear more cap space to cut Samuel. So cutting or restructuring someone. Didn’t have to with Moore. Like others have said Moore also wanted to be used more.

Heartbreaking yes, but we’re you profoundly sad?

Cooks/ Shavers Van Demark / Lundt Edwards / Anderson McGovern/ Granger Torrence / Anderson Grable / Lundt / Anderson Knox/ Hawes/ Latu Shakir / Ty Johnson Gabe/ Coleman Allen / Tribs Gilliam Cook/. Ty Johnson/. Davis Bosa/ Epenesa Jones/ Ogunjobi/ Phillips Walker / TJ Sanders Rousseau / Solomon / TJ Sanders Milano/ Williams / Franklin Thompson / Andressen/ Spector Hairston / T. White/ Hancock Benford / T. White T. Johnson / Lewis / Hancock Bishop / Lewis/. Franklin Hancock/ Poyer

I totally agree!!! That hit that he took from behind that shook him up should’ve been worse than that! That defender was a half-second away from delivering an even worse hit than he did. Josh has to know you don’t get that type of time against NO defense in the league. Just throw it away…

To simplify the Moore stuff - he wanted more targets, an effort to get him involved rather than the tiny role he had. Not unexpected, it’s the issue with Brady’s offense and I had been saying for weeks stop trying to get every guy on the bench involved, especially splitting reps between Moore and Samuel, pick one and get that guy more involved in the offense. And that guy should have been Moore over Samuel.

Many in here are dismissing the Bengals, but Burrow dinks and donks our defense to death!!! McD has never figured him out whatsoever!!! We have a very high chance of losing that game!!!

As frustrating as he has been, I really hope these past two weeks got his head right and he goes out and has himself a game. Maybe a "Mossed" moment over Ramsay for good measure. ...I am probably being greedy

Unusual hill to die on

I could see it too, but it actually would be a big deal. KC and Buffalo are the only 2 teams to reach the playoffs in each of the last 6 seasons. Thats a short list, and not insignificant if it plays out.

Pickens is a guy who can hurt and threaten defenses badly downfield, and he plays with a second guy like that in CeeDee Lamb. Having that makes Dak so much better… and in the big moments you saw Pickens close out the Chiefs by getting open on a crucial third down in the 4th Q. Like Davante Adams, AJ Brown, Puka Nucua, Devonta Smith… every great team has one or two such guys. Stafford is having his best ever season. The Eagles don’t have the QB to make them as lethal as we could. Even the Chiefs with very little cap room have Hollywood (who was such a guy for the Ravens) and Rice, plus Kelce. The Bills of course have never had two, and have zero since Diggs left. So if we could get at least one we should absolutely do that. I would trade a first plus Keon (see what we did there) in a heartbeat for Pickens.

Agree since Houston was letting us run… but balanced offenses take what the defense gives you. One issue with Brady is he doesn’t seem to adjust his play calls to what the defense is actually showing on the field.

Only possible Super Bowl winning teams this year are Rams and Eagles. Such a strange year

Was it contract orientated disgruntlement? I’d venture it was more the lack of use. There was some games he was an afterthought which is peculiar because all they did was swapped Pickens for DK and seem to funnel all the WR production through him. Was Tomlin proving a point and letting him know he isn’t bigger than the team? Probably and he might be right to do that. But when you have a guy of Pickens’ talents I would venture to try and have him the absolute focal point. Especially if it means “his head is screwed on”. Pickens will get the bag whatever happens. He’s either playing on the Franchise Tag like Rapoport has alluded Jerry has said or he’s tagged and traded like Frank Clark from recent years who was handed the bag after the trade. Pickens may be a head case but he’s got undeniable talent. Elite even.

I guess I'll match your eye roll emoji... Your choice of the word "featured" (not Moore's or Rapaport's word... your word) is incorrect. Rapaport said Moore wanted more reps. You continue to insist that "more reps" = "featured." Then you tried to substitute and then equate "starter" for "featured." None of those 3 things are the same. NFL teams run 11 personnel over 60% of the time meaning that every team has 3 starting wide receivers. Moore was 5th in snap counts. He could have had more reps without becoming a starter and he could have become a starter without being featured. He wanted more reps. Anything beyond that is your own imagination. Good night.

That's some serious semantic stretching to be like "though he wanted more snaps even after having just single digits less than both the starters - that doesn't mean he wanted to be a featured part of the offense". Why do you think someone wants more snaps? No player says "if I'm on the field more, I'm happy. Don't throw me the ball, just give me more "snaps".

I still disagree. Moore was 5th in WR snaps for the Bills this year so it's still a stretch equating wanting more snaps to wanting to be featured. And now you've offered that he wanted to be a starter but being a starter is still not the same as being featured. There are plenty of starting wide receivers that aren't featured in their offenses.
