GB…don’t overthink it. The Vegas line only moved from -14.5 to -14 after the trade was announced. Flacco got bumped from being a starter in Cleveland and hasn’t been the same as that small run he had in Cleveland two years ago. He was not good in Indy last year. I do think he will slightly improve their offense, but not much with their horrible O-line.

No, the entire year 2024. You can look for yourself here - Snap Counts by Team - Footballguys

This year or last year? This year, yes in a 5 game sample size. The 20+ game sample size is much different.

Beans and Sean - Should we miss the SB again
Nihilarian replied to Cubanmist 1's topic in The Stadium Wall
Hey, I agree with a lot here. However, that #1 WR we had in Diggs faded at the end of the season and went invisible in the playoffs the last few times. The good teams can take away a #1 WR and perhaps even two of them. Buffalo had the #! scoring offense in 2024 without that #1 guy, who is almost always a diva and wants the ball every play. A #1 WR isn't going to make or break this offense come playoff time. Diggs' last game for Buffalo against KC, 8 targets, 3 receptions for 21 yards! All game long. The Chiefs had LJarius Sneed and Trent McDuffie at CB...two of the best. Sneed was covering Diggs in the first half and went to cover Shakir in the second half. This CB hadn't allowed a TD to anyone all year long until Shakir caught a TD in that game. And yeah, Buffalo ended up drafting Kaiir Elam because the Chiefs traded up right before them in the draft to steal away CB Trent McDuffie. Elam was a mental case, and he needed to go after getting smoked by KC last year. The main reason the Buffalo secondary looked so bad against the Patriots is simple. Tre White played poorly and was toasted by Diggs. If the rest of the secondary were playing up to par, he wouldn't look so bad. All of the Buffalo starters are having a subpar year, except perhaps Cole Bishop. A player who missed a lot of time at the start of last year and is still learning as he goes. Christian Benford, who was a star CB the last two seasons, is not looking so good this year. With Dorian Strong out and Hairston on IR, things might not get better until after the bye. I wouldn't be surprised if Beane traded for a CB at this point because who knows how long it will take to get that #1 pick up to speed, as he hasn't practiced since July? The Buffalo defense is doing better than it looks, considering all the problems they have right now. Then look at the Baltimore Ravens and all their injuries 1-4. I can't even imagine what this board would be like if Buffalo were 1-4. -
Actually, he's right minus KC. Philly, Wash, Det, Cincy....etc....(what he posted earlier) their #1-#2 guys play consistently at over 85%

Well, you always need to get better. I don’t think an argument can be made that the Bills are better than a bottom 5 WR room. Will that ultimately cost them? TBD. It did cost them dearly the other day. Amari is obviously cooked and looked so out of shape in his brief return this offseason. Who is this year’s “Cooper?” Olave? Jakobi Meyers? Doubs? DJ Moore? I’d try calling Arizona and offering a 1st and whatever WR they want for MHJ. It’s a long shot but maybe it’s just not working out there? I saw an article today with the OC there saying that he didn’t do enough to get him the ball. Maybe you can slide in and buy him cheap from a 🗑️organization. I think there’s about a 2% chance Arizona would listen but it’s worth the call.

Copy pasting myself from another thread: "I'm stealing this information from Joe Marino's all-22 analysis. Leading up to the game Joe said the Pats have weak coverage LBs, and that one of our priorities should have been to get them into their base personnel and throw the ball into it. In his all-22 analysis he revealed that we got them into base personnel on 14 plays. But we only passed on 2 of those plays. Both passes were 20 yard completions to Kincaid. The 12 runs averaged 2.8 YPC... That represents a massive missed opportunity. We got the looks we wanted but didn't take advantage on nearly enough of them because our identity is that we run out of heavy personnel and that's that. Stubbornness hurt the offense on Sunday night." I'm starting to worry that Brady game plans for his players' strengths but he doesn't game plan for the opponent's weaknesses.

From the moment video began to circulate on Sunday of Cowboys owner and G.M. Jerry Jones showing the New Jersey state bird to Jets fans at MetLife Stadium, it was obvious that the NFL would impose a financial punishment. And Jones was fined $250,000 — despite his laughable claim that he meant to give a thumb’s up instead. https://www.nbcsports.com/nfl/profootballtalk/rumor-mill/news/an-intentional-thrown-drink-isnt-much-more-expensive-than-an-inadvertent-middle-finger

That is incorrect. The teams that play the most games rotate their WRs/TEs. Go look up the snap counts for 2024 Philly, Washington, Buffalo, and KC.

Some changes you would like to see this week
Ethan in Cleveland replied to zow2's topic in The Stadium Wall
How about a few two back formations? Cook, Johnson, and even Davis have shown to be capable pass catchers out of the backfield. Might be a nice wrinkle to throw out there a few plays a game? -
If we don't trade for Diggs who is to say another team before us in the draft does...case in point the Eagles trade pick #21 to Minny for Diggs and then Minny takes Jefferson 21st overall and we own the 22nd without Diggs or Jefferson, would you want Jalen Reagor instead? I mean yes other WRs drafted after turned out better but if go what if you can't say for certain everything falls the same or ideally if we don't make our trade.
-
And right now we average 243 passing yards and I'm assuming 30+ PPG? So we don't need a Cooper?
-
That is offensive to be honest. He's a PS level player for most teams. I get it that often times those are run plays. But that means you are really telegraphic your play calls.

Bring back Douglas and Cooper?
Ethan in Cleveland replied to Ethan in Cleveland's topic in The Stadium Wall
Thanks! I'd still swap 6th for a 7th and Douglas if the Dolphins would do it. Then let White retire during the bye week. -
In the 8 games that Cooper played, the Bills threw for 264.4 yards per game and scored 35.5 PPG. In the 8 games that Cooper did not play, the Bills threw for 203.6 yards per game and scored 28.1 PPG. For those of you that don’t think that 7.4 PPG difference is significant, the Bills finished 2nd in the NFL at 30.6 PPG. If you subtracted 7.4 PPG and were at 23.2 PPG they would have finished 12th.

Thanks for posting this Dave. I'm going to copy and paste a few short snippets, and none of this should be a shocking revelation: As Joe points out later in the article, it was a known issue in the offseason that we had no vertical threat on the roster. Even more shockingly, we had the same problem on the roster last year which forced Beane to trade for Cooper. So he doubled down on his previous mistake and his answer to the problem was to yell at Jeremy White on live radio. Real nice. This regime has neutered a lot of what makes Josh Allen special and that more than anything should spell the end of them if they don't make a drastic change soon.
