Hating on Poyer as a Bills fan might be one of the lamest things you can do.
he laid it out on the field.
he was clumsy leaving and had the questionable plays for a rivali can value his contributions without being super eager to bring the shell of him back for charity

Looking for 2 for the saints game, can a traveler get 2 for the saints?
I commit to wearing zubaz on the flight from Nola if so

he would be a good fit there. You basically only have to run two routes in that offense.
and one of the two is run blocking-

I enjoy my ryobi! Battery length would be my only complaint
ditto but have plenty of Ryobi gear so a few backup batteriesHearing it’s a thick turf - I definitely notice the struggle a good before before it goes out so I do my really thick section first and the average sections go fine through to the end. I’m normally right on the edge of 1 charge

Yes. I don't believe bulliten board material has any real impact on mental state. Players convince themselves it does. Normally as a results based narrative after the event. Nobody ever talks about the bulletin board stuff when they lose. It only matters when they win. It's the reason! It isn't. It's mumbo jumbo.
yup- we tell the stories that prove it and ignore the ones that don’t fit.
Heck this thread uses a story from a Super Bowl as if the players would otherwise coast

Nope. You normally need two mini reloads during a 12-15 year run with a HOF guy. Last year was one of ours and we made the title game. The next 3 or 4 seasons the window is wide open.
yea if not now I don’t know when.there should be only two options for this: I believe we are among the absolute favorites for a Super Bowl this year OR fire the entire front office and coaching staff because I don’t think we are a favorite

Saints winning 6+ games with a guy who is almost certainly not going to be their QB 2 years from now is just a bad move.
yea absolutely no reason to burn cap space on a qb putting them in purgatorylet the kids play

Fitzpatrick or Tyrod Taylor.
the only unlisted consideration is costthey are both good but at the expense of perhaps a heavy role player elsewhere?

Yeah, the off field stuff sped it along and made it an easier decision, but he was falling off a cliff last year and unlikely to recover.
Before all the off field stuff there was already talk about how he was a "technique" kicker, but that specific technique can only last so long and once it goes it's gone.
I'd say it was a 50/50 split on the cause.
framed differently:if he was a lethal all pro still - I think almost no chance he’s gone now
without the allegations but playing like he has been- I think he’s on the roster but legit fighting for his job in an open battle.

I think that this is a major part of the disconnect. Just because he doesn’t “need” a number 1 doesn’t mean that the offense wouldn’t be better with one. That’s obvious. The question becomes, can they keep winning with a bottom 5 WR room? We all hope so. Would they be better off if you plugged Metcalf at the top of the depth chart (for example)? Of course they would.
You need to remember that the Bills were +24 in turnover differential last year. No other team was more than +16. Other than that no other team was more than +12!! That’s a massive gap. If the Bills even fall to 3rd best in turnover differential we are talking about almost an extra turnover a game that they either commit on offense or don’t get on defense. This is often lost in these conversations. The Bills had the fewest negative plays ever (turnovers and sacks). We shouldn’t expect that again or even close to it. When that regresses, even if it’s still good, will the playmakers around Josh be good enough to overcome it?
last year was the proverbial first 5 games with Fitzpatrick in regard to getting a lot of luck.
Not something we are used to. But as you note, it usually normalizes.
even with a very good unit, odds are we lose about 10 in the differential.
do we have the horses to still maintain the point differential?

Yes, and it’s also one of the reasons I’m not a “worry about the future” kind of guy. You really never know what could happen in the blink of an eye to change your (or a loved one’s) life.
yup - scratch the dumb risky stuff that isn’t even much fun off the list, but still live big with the things that are actually worthwhile.-

So I guess there's some "good" news to this -- it does in fact appear as though it was a complete accident and Elway did nothing wrong. The dude just fell off the back of the cart and landed on his head. Still tragic, but no evidence of negligence or foul play.
ive always said it with guys fighting at bars- sometimes even a minor shove lands with a stumble and fall and all of a sudden it’s a “tua” situation or worse.
those dumb luck moments, like slipping out of a golf cart, turning severely life altering really are a perspective changer. I don’t wildly change my life to prevent every last trip/slip/fall… but there are definitely moments where I catch myself and tighten up behavior more quickly than once upon a time.

Why? He’s an actual better version of Mack Hollins, good in the locker room, and certainly not good enough to demand a high target share.
He ain’t perfect but no one on the Bills is either.
I think his departure was a not inconsequential piece of Josh going from turnover king to cleanest player in the league-

Lol...id say that part is also justified....73% FG, 11-19 on 40 yards+.
Ouch...
yea, if he was a 30 year old all pro it might have been a football decision to weather the storm -

I agree. I don’t think they want to put that much in the way of resources toward a playmaking WR though. I do not like that plan, but it’s the one they’re going with.
at some point I’m pretty cool with pushing enough chips in that we may need a reset year after it but hopefully with a trophy in the case instead of just division bannerslet’s get our all pro pass catcher(s)

I didn't say it was an easy catch. But it hit his hands. Even he would say he should have caught it. It's not an indictment of the player or indicative of future issues.
It actually is reassuring that he was injured because that would explain his lack of deep targets last year. Almost everyone during the season was questioning why he was mainly running 5 yard out patterns and not the deep seam routes like the TD he scored against the Steelers in the playoffs. He has enough tools to be a great WR even if he will never be a great blocker.
yea im not giving a pass on the drop but im hoping it explains the overall usage for the season. Was frustrating not to see him putting more pressure on defenses given what he was drafted to be.
should’ve caught that pass but statistically they will happen sometimes. Hopefully no trend but a bad play.

likewise sometimes they do not, or even get worse. Who knows with him…but it’d be nice if we didn’t have to count on getting better to be what we need

Not speculating about this accident, but its kind of common knowledge in Denver that Elway is a big drinker. Maybe too big.
The article say that it wasn’t negligent operationsounds like it’s very possibly the terrifying freak accident of banging your head on cement when you fall and just having terrible luck.

The best college players tend to be captains of their teams. The best college players also tend to be drafted into the NFL.
this has to be at least a portion of it. There is likely some “tie goes to the earned captain profile” in our room though if there are two closely ranked and ones iffy on leadership -

If you depend on a defense to get turnovers to be good, you're already thinking poorly. I'd rather take a top 5 defense with bottom 5 turnovers then top 5 turnovers and 20+ defense.
I get the WR takes, but the fact is even with a #1 we aren't going to force-feed them the ball. They've shown that all year last year and from what I can tell thats not going to change. What does it matter if the receivers we have are capable? Keon is still a "?" but Shakir is proven. Knox is proven (to a point) Kincaid should hopefully bounce back. Palmer should be decent. Find me one more average or better outside receiver and I don't see the issue. Which, by the way, we weren't likely to find in the bottom half of the draft.
If they sign Moore then thats even less of a reason to be ticked since they obviously see the need and are looking to address it. I understand why Beane acted like he did, and I agree with most everything he said. Jeremy has been fixated on this WR thing for years.
That he hadn't finished his route, or there was a miscommunication with a rookie and quarterback, what does a star QB trying to bully his way through 3-4 defense only to fumble the ball say about HIS football acumen....
Edit: Or throwing into triple coverage? Or throwing a death ball in the middle of the field? the list could go on
Going to call him a bust too?
come on - you don’t think that spreading the ball was a result of having 4 WR2-3 and no WR1?if we plopped a chase or Jefferson in, he just gets hollins targets?

I have a hard time reconciling this….
last year was a reset year where we overachieved. Some lucky bounces, relatively good health and an incredibly weak division.
coming out of the reset our reloading includes Joey bosa, Josh Palmer and hoecht?
Sounds like running it back with the reset team, no?I worry we may see more games like that early season ravens-Texans pair where the team really struggled. On offense.

Right. We have a top-scoring, high powered offense averaging over 30 points a game, and Allen still has to pull out victories with super human plays. That's a Defense issue.
We are in large part top scoring because we are taking a mortgage on Allen’s future to do it
if he falters even slightly we are cooked

ultimately the eagles won by overspending the cap at an unholy level.
I’d be fine with it but we’d be well served to acknowledge they amortized on wild levels so they could have playmakers everywhere instead of rationing.
