Schefter hasn't tweeted anything about it. It also hasn't hit any news. I think you must have seen something from a fake account.

They will likely restructure Klein in 2021. He is owed 6.5 million and has a dead cap hit of 4 million. They will do what they did with Kroft and guarantee him a deal slightly above his dead cap and void out the last year. They probably would make his deal a one year 4.5 million deal. Considering he is a plus on special teams he can just slide back as a specialist. It would be better than just burning that 4 million. What a trash signing.

I don't see how you don't make a trade for a one tech. It shouldn't be super difficult to find one for a 5th. Tomlinson from the Giants seems like a fit. If you feel like there is one on the street that is better bring him in, what are you waiting for? Overall the Bills need a lot of help on the roster. But the one tech is the biggest need. It helps the pass rush (moving Ed to be more of a true pass rusher) it helps the LB corps who need the help badly and it addresses the poor run defense. Get er done

I have confidence in Josh and the offense to hang in a shootout. Sadly I wish the defense was better or at least more consistent. Maybe they can get a one tech and solve some issues with the defense.

The games in the back half of the season stack up like this. Unfavorable - Seahawks and Steelers Toss up - 49ers and Cardinals Favorable - Chargers, Broncos, Pats and Fins The Bills in my opinion will go either 4-4 or 5-3 to end the season. I think the Bills lose both the Seahawks and Steelers games, split the 49ers and Cardinals games and then win either 3 out of 4 or 4 out of 4 of the rest. A key is getting a split against the 49ers or Cards. A split there gives you a margin for error in the other 4 gimmies. Honestly it is all worthless one week at a time. If this team can upset the Seahawks it will be that signature win and set themselves up nicely to push for 12 wins.

The Jets and Titans gave the Bills a soft zone to take away the deep stuff. Against the Titans Josh got impatient and took shots deep and it didn't work out. Josh carved up the Jets and easily took what they gave him, but he just struggled in the red zone. Against the Chiefs Josh got blitzed in bad weather and it wasn't pretty. Against the Pats the running attack was cooking so they just stuck with that. Overall I don't think Josh or the WR's are a problem. Josh just needs to adjust his game to what the defense is giving him and things will pan out.

I think Trump holds Texas, Georgia, Ohio and Iowa. But Biden gets AZ, NC, Wisconsin, PA, and Michigan. Florida is a true toss up but if Biden gets those 5 states Florida is irrelevant. It would more likely show that Demographic shifts and high black/hispanic and youth voter turnout actually occurred.

Ted Cruz is horribly unpopular in Texas, he won because of hate for Dems and Beto going less populist towards the latter portion of his campaign. Trump on the other hand is the GOP and is popular within his deep red base. They are equally as motivated to come out. It will big tighter margins but I still think Trump takes it by 4ish points. GA is honestly more in play in my mind as I think that will be a 1-2 point margin

Ah tictok haha, I still would be amazed to see Texas turn blue. Trump won Texas by 9 points in 2016, it would be amazing if that margin was tightened to 3 points but it would be a dam near electoral miracle if Texas went Biden. For one I believe that Abbot and the Texas GOP would stop at nothing to tip the scales in any recount of a close margin. Secondly I just don't see a 9 point margin closing in just 4 years. I think Georgia is the more likely Biden win and even then I think Trump holds Georgia. Trump won Georgia by 6 in 2016 and the turnout in early voting is very high for Dems and not as high for the GOP. It would still be an amazing turnaround if Biden flipped a 6 point margin but it is more possible than a 9 point margin.

I do feel bad for Edumonds, no true one tech and he is hurt. I think he has some issues but I don't think he is a bad player. In fact I think he can be rather good if he had a one tech to keep linemen off of him and got coached up some more. I still hold out hope for him. In 2019 when the team was getting run on due to issues with the DT position (sound familiar) Edumonds was the B word boy of this board and then suddenly when Lugiet was signed and Star turned it on Edumonds played like a dam near all pro.

Can you elaborate what the "tic tac" thing is? It seems like the early voting data I have seen still favors Trump by a slim margin and I think day of voting will favor Trump. I see Texas as going Trump by 4-6 points. Tighter than any race in recent memory but still a comfortable victory. If anything I think Georgia is in play more. Trump won Georgia by a smaller margin in 2016 and turnout seems to be higher for Dems in early voting. I think the margins tighten to 2 points in Georgia a much smaller victory margin

Woof, not good. Luckily the defense scored a bazillion times for the Fins. A couple of nice throws and some drops by WR's that weren't on him. But not a great debut for Tua. Maybe he settles down.

If I told you in 2012 that the Bills would make the playoffs 2 out of 3 years and be 6-2 with a very good QB and a solid semblance of talent around the roster these fans would have taken that in a heartbeat. I get the frustrations with the run defense and the close games against mediocre to bad teams. But good teams in the NFL beat bad and mid-level teams. The Bills are a good team, maybe not a great team but a good one. This year is about Josh's development and trying to get the defense to be decent enough to give Josh a chance.

Looked pretty good to the eye test. Not sure if the Pats D-line is that good or not but if you aren't going to maul a bad D-line then who are you going to maul? Honestly I feel confident in the O-line if they can get Ford back and replace Winters with Ike. I don't hate Winters but it is clear that he is a backup caliber player.

Final Electoral Count will be Biden 334 Trump 204. Biden swings Arizona, Penn, Michigan, Wisconsin, Florida and NC. Trump takes the swing states of Ohio and Iowa and hold Georgia and Texas but he can't break the blue wall and loses AZ, NC and possibly Florida. Not buying Texas going Blue. It is possible that Texas goes blue but I have been hearing that the past few election cycles and each time it stays red by a fairly comfortable margin. I get that margins in Texas have been tightening each cycle but I don't see Texas turning blue just yet.

Talent was never the issue with DK. Talent wise he was a freak athlete with enough football ability. But the issue was health. He has a long injury history particularly with back and neck injuries. So we will see if his health will hold up, because he is completely dynamic when he is on the field.

I feel like this team throws more screens than the fans give them credit for.

Basing it on his history of concussions and the fact that the team likely would want to be extra cautious with him. Considering the timing of the bye week sitting Mitch out the next two weeks would give him nearly a month while only missing 2 games. Now granted this is without knowing the severity of the concussion. A mild concussion might only require a week off? I also am basing this off of the concussion he got last year in camp where they seemed to shut him down for a month.

Yesterday's offense did concern me in the first half. They put up 7 when they easily should have had 7-10 more and put the Pats down at least 2 scores. The turnover cost a chance at 3 and put the defense in bad field position where they coughed up a field goal. The defense played well in the first half actually owning the Pats for the most part. The offense couldn't get those extra scores. Then the script flipped in the second half. The offense put up 17 points whereas the defense gave up 15 and needed a turnover to not have the game tied or possibly give up 21 and lose the game. I think this team has to learn to play complementary football. Too often has one side of the ball stalled while the other has played great. It has been very rare that both sides of the ball are playing well at the same time.

5 or so games in 2011.

And gets them closer to the bye, this team is really hurting for a bye, seems everyone is banged up. Hopefully the trade deadline gets the Bills a trade for a one tech.

People forget that the run defense last year got derailed from weeks 7 to 11. The freaking Redskins ran over this team. The rush defense looked solid weeks 1 to 5 but then Harry got hurt (and still hasn't recovered) and Milano was banged up after the Titans game. But they got Milano back healthy, signed Lugiet and got Star going. Overall they had issues with the run last year but because the team finished strong in that respect it got swept under the rug

All wins count equally, you have to take care of the teams you are supposed to beat and then pick off some of the games you aren't favored in. I fully agree that the Bills need that signature win against a likely playoff opponent. But while you are looking for that win you have to take care of business against lesser teams so that you can make the playoffs.

Both weeks were important, you not only need division wins but you also need to get fat against bad opponents. This is a tough two game stretch and you needed to go into this stretch 6-2.

2008 was a mirage on a lot of levels. This year this team will likely still win 10 or 11 games. This team has issues that even adding a true one tech won't solve. But this is still a good team, just maybe not the contenders some like myself thought.
