Regarding Ray Davis, it looks like the sophomore slump is officially busted. It possibly started with his kick return TD against the Texans but more significant was the game against the Steelers. Before the Pittsburgh game Davis had 24 carries for 44 yards... 1.83 yards per carry. Last week he had 9 carries for 62 yards... 6.89 yards per carry. The 15 pounds he dropped during the offseason has him looking more agile and it seems like he's understanding the blocking schemes better. Hopefully he'll be able to assume a larger share of touches to keep James Cook fresh for the playoffs.

…or skip PPP and straight to the dumpster? 🤢 🤮

Two out of three ain’t bad.

Wrong thread.

Seriously, what a whiny little B.

Can mods move this to PPP? Any mention of Trump will inevitability devolve into a brutally toxic discussion.

Damn that field is pretty.

Political cartoon about the Democrat Party being called "Wrong thread" by grandstander Priceless.

I’m not arguing that injuries haven’t hurt us; we’ve clearly had a ton of them at key places. My point was that, aside from Hoecht, players that we’ve lost for the year haven’t materially made this team worse, and in several key areas that actually cost us games earlier in the season have clearly been addition by subtraction. You can applaud the staff for overcoming injuries of late, and it’s warranted, but some of the personnel decisions early in the season hurt this team significantly.

Go BILLS! Go USA! Canada…. You’re cool too 😎

I’m not going demean myself with responding to a ludicrous idea of not the NFL. I will not bring politics into a Bills/NFL forum. This has nothing to do with the poster, but who knows the motivation of this story, and hopefully the mods will do whatever their needs are for the forum. I just don’t even at a restaurant or a sports bar bring up the hotbed of politics. This country is so polarizing on these issues. How about we stay out of it on many of our favorite forum to talk Bills.

It is OK to have a run first strategy as part of their arsenal. If you choose to limit the scope of your capability to running the ball, you are inviting opposing defensive coordinators to focus their scheme to shut down the aspect of your game that you depend on. That doesn't even touch on what it means to have one of the elite passers in the league and choosing to use him like a backup game manager.

And now its bit him in the butt

A QB whose has the ability to scramble and make plays simply should not be getting sacked 7 times. How in the hell does that happen?

never said to give up on him. breathe. good coffee is cheaper than therapy. the quote I stated was based on mike mamula being drafted.

wont say he's a bust because so far he's shown to be exactly what the scouting report said Moulds was a physical freak who finally lived up to his ceiling I'm not sure Keon's ceiling is very high to begin with

Here is a stack rank by average contract value. Then it shows the sacks, TFL, QB Hits, sum of all 3, then the sum of all 3 divided by games. Rousseau is the lowest in the per game count of any DE making what he makes, and you don't find anyone lower than him until you hit Hasson Reddick who is making 6 million less per year. His per game counts put him firmly in the 11-15 million dollar range.

In the outgoing Highmark Stadium, the Bills use A-Turf Titan 50 which has a low G-Max Rating which measures the shock absorption of the field. It's considered a soft playing surface. However the NFL will be using 2 different measures when approving playing surfaces for 2026: "the BEAST, which is a traction testing device that replicates the movements of an NFL player. The other is called the STRIKE Impact Tester, which helps determine the firmness of each field." It's not clear if A-Turf Titan will be approved but of course it's a moot point because of the natural grass field in the new stadium. That raises a separate question... the assumption that most are making is that any and all natural grass fields will be approved however it seems possible that the league will implement standards for them too.

I think it is still too early to close the book on Keon, but the first several chapters have not been what we hoped. OP is right that folks had the same view of Moulds, so I will hold out hope into say week 4-5 of year 3. If we don't see it by then, we ain't gonna. Lack of professionalism to date is, however, a serious negative indicator.

Agree, certain people who dislike a certain person seem not be able to grasp that..

He "dominated" the game against Houston with 2 solo tackles, 0 sacks, 0 pass knockdowns and 0 forced fumbles? He played a fundamentally sound game, yes. But our are expectations really that low where we consider that performance, "dominating" and "taking over the game"?

It's getting to the point where I'm no fun anymore I am sorry Sometimes it hurts so badly I must cry out loud I am lonely I am yours, you are mine, you are what you are You make it hard

I am most of the way there...It became clear Franklin lost the team and was pouting. He wasn't coming back at that point. Sounds like him and Kraft had a falling out last offseason - Basically Kraft wanted to go full NIL buying top players; Franklin wanted to pay his guys and not pay for recruits and transfer guys. Franklin won. Big money spent on DC Knowles. BIG money to Allar, Singleton and Allen. Inexplicable money to people like Liam Clifford and Dom Deluca (500k each). Refused to play young players....Then the team crapped the bed...and (im assuming) Kraft went into - "I told you so" mode...and everything was lost. It had to happen - as sad as it is/was. 2 good years at VT and he will leave for the first opening at Florida/FSU/Miami. For sure - Kraft has botched this search, but he landed in a great spot. However, Campbell on 24 Nov is MUCH MUCH better than Campbell on 5 Dec...but it is what it is. Sitake was never coming here. DeBoer was (apparently) interested (despite what he says publicly) - but the win over Auburn and making the championship game killed that. Kraft let this play out too long - and pissed off Sexton. Thats not great. But money talks. Especially to Agents. Sexton will be fine. Re: Smith - He was always going to stay. Dude is more Penn State than anyone. We need the continuity and his recruiting. I think it will be fine. Re: 8 years - meh... The devil is in the buyout terms. Even then, Franklins $59M buyout became $9 after he took the VT Job. Heupel isn't worth a response. I've hated Tennessee since that crap they pulled with Schiano. I'll just add his ignorant comments to my list. Im really excited to see what Campbell can do with a $30M NIL budget and the ability to attract 4 and 5 star players. There needs to be a "you're all in - our you are out" conversation with existing players. Cant have the resentment on "Not Terry" percolate. Terry is uniquely positioned to help there. Hopefully they can keep young studs like Koby Howard and Chaz Coleman. Howard specifically was held back by Franklin - so he is probably less inclined to go to VT. Not sure what they will do at QB. I prefer Grunkemeyer...but I can see Rocco Becht come over from ISU as well. Should be a fun next 30-60 days - then see where they land roster wise.
