The timing of this is the strange part. It could have been done sooner to get a shot at a Keenan Allen or Mike Williams.
Something really strange happened very quickly. Odd
The Bills wouldn't have been able to fit those guys under the cap irrespective of the trade. The trade actually results in less cap space this season so trading him sooner wouldn't have helped anyway, even if we had the room to pay Allen or Williams.

This guy is a weirdo. He doesn't like people that use utensils to eat. https://www.thefalcoholic.com/2023/7/29/23812255/falcons-mack-hollins-eat-hands-soft-atlanta-falcons
I hope he can block and be a WR5.

They were both extended this offseason through 2027. I'm not sure why people think we would be getting rid of either of them after this year.

He was picked before us. We didn't pass on him.

Ran it once and only once. Bills went 15-2. Started out 12-0. Lost to the Chiefs by two points, and then the Cowboys by three points.
James Cook had an eye-popping 2080 total yards. 1515 rushing yards on 306 attempts, and 45 receptions for 565. 14 total touchdowns.
Damien Harris also had 123 rushing attempts, with 1060 total rushing + receiving yards.
Allen only had 210 yards rushing.

Hate a week 17 championship. If you have some powerhouse players they're on teams likely to take the foot off the gas when you need to win out.
It makes things interesting, though.
Most leagues have their championship week in the 2nd to last week of the NFL season. Now that there are 18 weeks, Week 17 is the championship week for most leagues. I agree that Week 17 championships didn't make any sense back when there were only 17 weeks in the NFL season, for the reason that you described. I don't recall there being many examples where teams are resting guys in the second-to-last week though.

I sure did. Dominated my league all year long and got knocked out in the first round this week because of week 14 bye weeks, injuries, and Travis Kelce taking the week off. Maybe my best played year of all-time despite not winning.
I would strongly recommend that you push your league/commish to have your playoffs run from Week 15-17 in future years. It doesn't make any sense to have playoffs begin in a week where there are still bye weeks (although I think it's silly that the NFL has teams with byes as late as Week 14 in the first place) because the the exact issue you experienced. You shouldn't have your star players unavailable in the playoffs because of a bye week. I'm sorry that this happened to you

No. He's 28 until November 29th.

For context, only seven running backs in the NFL broke 1,000 rushing yards last year, and that's with the extra regular season game. One of those was Zeke and he had 1,002 yards. The Bills are very likely to be a pass-heavy team again, and between the known RB committee, and risk of injury in general from the RB position, it's highly unlikely that Singletary gets enough volume and/or is efficient enough to break the 1,000 yard mark. Is it possible? Of course. Just don't bet on it.

When did he talk about his underwear? He said he had black and gold shorts on.

I like Klein but he is replaceable. I'm hoping they can let Hughes go or trade him. Imho, his better playing days are over. Not sure how he figures into the Bills cap.
Hughes is a free agent.

No thank you. I'm not giving up anything for a guy on the last year of his deal who couldn't get on the field or produce as a 2nd round pick. I don't care what he ran at the combine three years ago. The probability of him coming here and producing in a meaningful way is low. You can draft a guy in the 6th or 7th that would come with a similarly low probability of production, but at least that guy would be on an extremely cheap rookie deal for the next four years.
I'm not even advocating for drafting a WR flier in the 6th or 7th round. But if I'm given the option between a guy like him (one year left on a deal, has no production despite draft capital, more expensive for that one year compared to a rookie late round pick) and a late round pick (four year deal, no production either but at least has an unknown ceiling, and a cheaper contract), I'm going with the latter.

McCaffrey has barely cleared 1000 scrimmage yards in the past two years combined. Running backs don't tend to get more productive (or healthier) after their age 25 season. Panthers could easily see it as getting some value back for damaged goods.
I understand what you are saying, but I don't believe that the Panthers are actively looking to cut bait on him. Even if they were, I don't think they would move him for that kind of package (i.e. "taking a loss," so to speak). For them to consider moving him, I think that it would take a return that would be more in line with the player that earned the large contract, and not a return that assumes he is just going to be hurt moving forward.
Respectfully, we may just need to agree to disagree. Go Bills!

The Panthers are not trading Christian McCaffrey for Beasley, a 3rd, and a 5th. I was going to say that this isn't Madden, but then I realized that this trade would never happen in Madden either.
If the Bills somehow did trade for McCaffrey (as part of a different trade package that would need to include better compensation, and not a 33 year old WR on the last year of a deal), they wouldn't be trading for him to use as a slot WR. Maybe a hybrid RB and WR, but primarily as an RB.
Regardless, I just don't see this trade happening in any scenario.

Because that's exactly what Beasley is - he's just a guy and always has been. On top of that he's extremely expensive on a cash strapped team (we save over $7M by cutting him), and he's old.
He's the definition of a cap-casualty
Also, Kupp in his worst season was better than Beasley's best.Just an FYI - While Beasley's 2022 cap hit is $7.6M, we would only save $6.1M in cap space because he has a $1.5M dead cap hit.

What about when the receiver touches down twice but with the same foot before going out of bounds? I think it was Sanders or maybe Davis that did it yesterday. It seems to count as a catch if the call was right
If we are talking about the same play, it was Gabe Davis. It was initially ruled a catch, but there was defensive pass interference on the play. Upon looking at the replay, it was clear to me that it wasn't a catch, but there was no reason for Saleh to challenge it because even if they overturned the catch, the defensive pass interference would've been enforced and would've resulted in the ball being in the same spot anyway. So Davis got credit for a catch that wasn't really a catch.
As some others have pointed out here, the interception thrown by Allen certainly looked incomplete once they showed that other replay angle from behind. The ball seemed to clearly hit the ground and the defender rolled over with it not even under full control. I couldn't believe they let that stand.

Swift.
He’s immediately our primary back. Allows Moss to be what he should be, the rotational back. Swift is also a great receiving back, giving Josh another threat in the passing game.
The Lions aren't trading Swift. I don't know why anyone thinks he would be available. He's a young and talented player on the 2nd year of his rookie deal.

What about Hines? People talking about Marlon Mack…I’d rather use the guys we have. But Hines is a different story. Different skill set and can change us.
Hines is a part of the future for the Colts. They just extended him in September, and they know that Mack is gone after this year. Their future is Taylor and Hines in the backfield, and they want both of those guys there due to their differing skillsets. There's no reason why the Colts would want to trade Hines.

He's a young kid, on a nationally televised show with a first ballot hall of famer and his brother (who'll prolly also get into the HOF on the back of two signature wins against Tom Brady in the Superb Owl, but otherwise career can be described as "fine") that he probably grew up watching on television. You could tell he was being extremely guarded, making sure he picked his words carefully and not take any obvious bait that could be twisted any particular way or used as bulletin board material. I also think that being on camera gets in Josh's head a bit and he comes off as somewhat stiff and wooden.
In my opinion, it's all very deliberate and purposeful. I don't think he's nervous or anything in front of the camera. We know Josh has a bigger personality than what he showed (just listen to some of his Mic'd up clips), but he is purposely being very careful, polite, and calculated, so that he doesn't cause any controversy. Is it boring to watch for any non-Bills fan? Sure. Is it better than him saying something stupid that can be twisted and made into a story? You bet. He knows exactly what he's doing.

The Bills lost the game on an unimaginative play call on 4th-1 from the 2-yard line.
This is just hindsight. As others have pointed out today, Josh Allen had been 13/14 on converting 4th and 1 QB Sneaks in his career, with the one failure being a botched snap situation a couple years ago. The QB sneak was a virtual lock to get the 1st down from a probability perspective. You would be crucifying Daboll and McDermott if they ran an "imaginative" play call like a jet sweep to McKenzie that gets stopped for a 5 yard loss. Just because it didn't work out doesn't make it the wrong call.

Should not have called for a sneak. We needed a play that had a chance to result in a TD, not just a first down with only 20 seconds left. Brain fart by Daboll/McDermott. Going for it absolutely the right call though.
No, we didn't. We still had a timeout.

I don't? I'm new to this. I don't know why I thought I had to pick every team when there are 32 teams and only 17 weeks ugh. I may rethink that pick then damn.
No worries. Generally, the more people in a survivor pool, the more risk you can take on with your picks because there will inevitably be some big favorite that loses and knocks a bunch of people out at once. To win a large survivor pool, you might need to stand out from the crowd. Of course I wouldn't want to take a big risk every week. In a small survivor pool, going with more consensus picks might be a better strategy as others might take an unnecessary risk early in the season and lose. As always, YMMV.

Yeah I have to pick the Jets sometime. Wish I picked em last week haha. Eventually everyone is going to have to be bold. There are some crappy teams out there. For the record, my first choice was what you picked then I decided to go bolder.
No, you don't.
WR Treylon Burks
in The Stadium Wall
Posted
He was never an A.J. Brown clone. That comparison came from someone who didn't really understand how they each played the game and was more based on their similar size. Yes, Burks has the size/look of a classic X receiver, but he didn't and still doesn't have the skills to beat man coverage consistently to win at the X. He'd be better suited as a big slot.
