Actually what was more puzzling was the run play before that put the ball on the right hashmark. Prater prefers kicking from the left. Had the ball been on the left hash, Prater may not have hit the upright.

I'm an open-minded guy but, objectively, I don't. I just don't get this one. It looks to me like Trump is playing favorites with a friendly leader. Their worthless pesos aren't going to help with SNAP/health care here.

Not worried about Jones. More just pointing out that the Colts went out and did something, while we did diddly-squat.

The Bills actually have one of the highest amount of players under contract for 2026 at 40. 9 of them are on IR currently so it is easy to forget them. Knox, Samuel, Rapp, and Ty Johnson are almost certainly not returning on their current contract. Maybe Bass as well. Starters that will need to be resigned or replaced are LG, C, DE, LB and Safety. DT and CB we already drafted replacements this year. I think you may be counting K and P as starters that need replacement - those positions don’t require a large investment. In any case, the roster status is not that dire that we couldn’t afford to make a trade without crippling ourselves. We will never know what conversations were had. If I was Beane I probably would have tried really hard to land someone to try and improve the roster, even marginally, this year when the path to a Super Bowl seems less daunting than any year I can remember during the Allen era.

Thanks for this. Good stuff. I don't completely agree that coordinators are not worried about the Bills going deep. In the piece by Kubiak in the news that someone discussed, Kubiak said that teams are playing two deep a lot against the Bills. Right after I read I happened to see a replay from the Chiefs all-22, also in a thread, where Allen threw to Shakir, I think, in the right flat for a nice gain. It was just what Kubiak said - two deep safeties. And the play worked in part because those guys were so deep. Once Shakir beat the first defenders, he had a lot of running room, precisely because the safeties were still 15 yards away. Whatever. I really the last sentence. The Bills didn't make that choice this week. They made if eight weeks ago, if not four months ago. This is the way they want to play. It doesn't make sense to you. To me, I sort of get it, but it sure seems odd to choose that style. And the big problem that we've often mentioned is that what they've actually is a good style for piling up wins in the regular season, but it puts the team at a disadvantage in the playoffs, where the talent and intensity goes up. It's in those games where a true deep threat can be valuable, if only to stretch the defense.

If teams look closely at his metrics they will see that he's helped immensely by being a pull hitter in Yankee stadium and that it's unlikely to translate into similar results almost anywhere else. So if you are giving him a 5 year deal you gotta' figure something more like his 2024 Cubs numbers.

We are leading the league in yards/game. A big part of that is the run game and Coleman’s blocking helps a great deal. What Brady needs to do is give him better routes, but we are doing this without having a so-called burner to stretch the field. If all you want is a guy that can run fast straight down the field then just bring back Hamler.

Republicans win married women. No idea what battles R’s are picking with moms.

Have a good laugh.

maybe, like I said, Republicans should stop picking fights with moms. They have gone too far, pick your battles

If Moore and Samuel are faster than Shaheed, then they certainly have not shown that on the field. Who cares what Samuel ran at Ohio State 6 years ago, in shorts? Shaheed never ran at the combine because of injury, but he could well be a sub-4.3 guy and it shows up on the field. He is also, undeniably, a great kick returner, which Moore and Samuel are not.

The dolphins always seem to hang around and play us tough. Be nice to beat them like 33-3 for a change

I predicted this thread a week ago.

Maybe we can try Deone Walker out at quarterback too! He'd be a handful to stop on RPO's

You're giving Brady way too much credit. He's not using Cook to his potential. Before this past Sunday he was getting only 52% of the snaps, being removed from the field on 3rd down. He finally was used on 3rd down in the passing game this week! As to Shakir, and other WRs, how many passes are behind the line of scrimmage? The constant criticism on this Board is that Brady is limiting this offense not because of the talent, but because of his schemes. So I respectfully disagree.

If we had a backup DB with 4.2 speed I’d say sure throw them out there on a gadget play or two and see what happens. Hairston is too small and too important to risk letting him get blown up by a DL or LB. Small sample size I know but so far he looks like he’s already the best DB on the team.

What is a groyper

This is a really good take. I mean, I don't know the talent well enough to know if there was a guy who would really help, but I agree that Beane needs to, and apparently did, operate with brains and not overspend out of desperation. In thinking about the additions the Bills might have needed and gotten, began to have different view of how they run their personnel. When the Bills need a guy at a position because a starter has gone down, they don't sign free agents to replace the injured guy. They promote from within, and they sign a free agent with potential to grow and block him into the bottom on the depth chart, on the practice squad. Then they work their way up, maybe passing someone, maybe just waiting in line. The Bills do that because what's most important to them is having the guys on the field execute their assignments. They don't want to take a talented free agent and plug him into a system where he doesn't know or do his assignment consistently. Even the vets they brought back have had to work their way up from the bottom. Poyer, Philips, Gabe Davis. Tre White. That philosophy makes the Bills less likely to make a splash at the trade deadline, because the Bills prefer to fill holes with the next guy in line in the system.

Lmaoooo

Beane was interested in bringing Von Miller back. Wow. Again, he's always into nostalgia signings.

Bills win, did not trade future picks in a Superbowl winning season, so all good.

Oligarchy!!

I thought Toohill was pretty good in the rotation last year before his injuries. Kind of surprised he didn’t find a home this season.
