Waiting for "update traded to the Pats"

The fact that someone went to lengths to write all of these lines for the players talking is wild. “We need something engaging for fans on our social media. Any ideas?” ”Carpentry. Everyone loves working with wood…” The bone of contention is that they didn’t have Eric Wood involved is the absolute let down. That’s the only way this could have been decent. Reminds me of the time at a previous job where the boss talked about his boat bottling love for 30 minutes prior to a union contract negotiation. Everyone was eager to talk about it to him lol

when Beane signs calls, you are about 2 years from being out of the league.

Mad max expected to play…. special teams.

What's the longest a Mcd d has gone without forcing 1+ turnovers in consecutive games? I'm actually fairly confident that we will get this back on track

KC sent high picks for various failed wrs from other teams and traded their best for a 1st (and more) and he had a like 1600 yard season for the fish. It's fine, losing what should be a 3handle pick is not so much to lose to get a high quality talent with problems on a cheap contract. We have our wr dollars in shakir, Samuel, and Palmer (that's like 30mm a year) and they barely produce (heck, two of them are hurt). Sometimes these guys need a change of scenery and I'm sure getting targets from Josh in the playoffs will excite whatever love this kid still has for football. I just read mad max will be playing, along w the roid champions. If Milano and Bernard can get health, along w dq, that's a ton less holes on the d. Throw in this kid on o and kinkaide back, and all of a sudden the talent level of this team is HUGELY improved over what we had vs ATL.

If we could only be so lucky. Keon and a 2nd works for me. I love Keon and I think he has a future in this league in the right system with the right QB. I don’t think the Keon + Allen + Brady equation is a match. And with Shakir and Kincaid taking the snaps in the slot, Keon is the odd man out.

Chris Olave sounds like he's out. But you never know if that's posturing for better compensation. But with the news that he's been talking about an extension with him, I tend to feel that's true. The interesting part of this to me is that they haven't said Rashid Shaheed is off the table. To me, I've been all in on the idea of making a deal with the Saints. If you can't pry Olave free, pivot to Shaheed. His speed, separation, and deep threat prowess would provide just what we need to get people from crowding the line and shutting us down. I'd be more in on Shaheed than a lot of the other options people are pivoting to in this post.

I am betting Kincaid plays tomorrow

Tons of Bills fans here, going to be a fun one if they can get it going.

If not for the Hochuli ref crew and Rousseau being Offside, we're likely undefeated and not worried about tomorrow at all. I think the team comes out tomorrow and reminds us that they're still kings of the division and a legit SB contender.

The mental part is always tough to judge. I don't follow college football - does he have a history of being disinterested? My guess is that if he did, he would not have gone in the mid first round. As you noted, the talent is undeniable and he has proven he can play at the NFL level. I am sure the correct suitors for the trade are looking into what caused him to regress this year. If the proverbial change of scenery is all he needs, then this is the perfect time to buy (low). Coleman is not a problem child. He just hasn't consistently produced. But, I wouldn't give up on him just yet.

100% Forcing fumbles is a skill Recovering them is luck

We knew last year was one of those great seasons when the D took the ball away and the O did not give the ball away. It’s a market correction. You see it all the time in the NFL with various things. Last year KC was like 11-0 in one score games. This year they are 0-3. Bottom line, if the Bills can eliminate their own turnovers and penalties they can still win plenty without forcing opponents turnovers.

Stetson for the game or just stick with the regular ball cap?

Punching at footballs is a fine approach to a turnover seeking defense ( along with sound tackling of course). What isn’t sustainable with turnovers is the fair amount of luck involved recovering them. The ball takes funny bounces, and even when doing the correct thing -(ie falling on the ball vs trying to pick it up) it still goes the other way sometimes. This has happened many times already this year. INTs have been dropped. The opportunities have been there, and they usually are. The luck just dries up at times.

No, but we have Allen.

Also, Shaq Thompson dropped a sure pick-six towards the end of the game.....those two plays go the other way and maybe the Bills win, and there would be a lot less hand-wringing going on around here......

Panthers 27 Bills 13

I think for this game the five core skill position players will be Hawes as TE 1, Anderson as TE2, Shakir, Coleman/Samuel and Cook. The 6 OL package returns. With all the cage rushes and blitzers coming we need to keep Allen upright and utilise Cook and Davis to run with a maximum of 4 guys actually running routes.

Bills 24 Panthers 23 It's not pretty but Bills eke out a win.

HOF or bust

The young man definitely has some juice about him. hope to see some of that soon but not expecting too much tomorrow.
