Tyrod and Heineke were my two offseason QB2 hopefuls.

I said today might be a good day to take Pittsburgh to cover….

Good for Pickett getting in there after taking a brutal but legal shot to the knee. I can’t believe Pittsburgh had their rookie QB throw 50 times against the best defense in the league on his first outing.

I feel like the recipe for success does not involve your rookie QB throwing the ball 50+ times against the best defense in the league on his very first outing.

Phew, not the only one…

I hav no problem with Buffalo going OL at 32.

I think Poyer being so incredibly lights out plus Hyde’s serious neck injury mean they re-sign Poyer so that they can keep the focus on OL this draft.

There generally agree with this. I do think the Bills have a plan of going IOL early and often in the 2023 draft. For whatever reason we just seem to not be able to get it right the way we have been other position groups. I think part of that is McBeane and part is Daboll. Kudos to KD for upgrading to Kromer.

I think the best way to make is to change formula for scheduling. Play everybody in your division 3 times. That ensures everybody in Europe is home half the season.

The amount of double teams Jerry Hughes receives in his career is impressive. Can somebody smarter than me explain how Von isn’t the top of your third list? I read it as him having the highest win rate in the league.

Agreed on Davis. Shakir can play inside and out, this might be a good opportunity to spell Davis a bit early so he’s available/fresh if needed late in the game if needed. But McKenzie makes it interesting as well. Part of the value add for Cook was he could line up in the slot. I would like to see him get some more opportunities there this week. This is a relatively low pressure game that could help him find a stride possibly.

I’m in Europe for work at the moment so missed this one. But god am I glad I am here for the comments. Seems like Russ is so busy cooking he’s having trouble playing football.

I agree until the second paragraph. Austin, a vet can get away with asking to leave. Although I think his career is probably over or super close to it. But Hodgins has spent two years injured and the Bills have kept him around. I’m pretty high on Isaiah, but two years on IR then demanding a release from the PS is likely career suicide. Not to mention, if he can show anything in Buffalo it likely opens a lot of opportunities down the road.

I think he’s toast and was likely going to be released shortly so retired to save some safe. I don’t think he had a million offers this offseason like he tweeted. He ended up on a banged up TB teams PS and had zero production. He was an integral part of righting the ship, but unfortunately the writing was on the wall for him.

Right, my first thought was “what an idiot” and also an “a-hole”. Part of me feels for the guy though. He’s about to lose his entire family because he just can’t quit. It’s messed up.

At one point were down 13 starters….That’s over half a football team.

Meh, and I’m not undervaluing the Chiefs. Im generally a bit of a Debbie downer in the Bills, but it took 110 degree field temps and a comedy of errors/injuries for the Bills to lose by 2 in Miami. There’s nothing about this Bills team that leads me to believe they can’t beat anybody anywhere.

He is playing well, and I am super pleased with his progress. But maybe we pump the brakes on the "on another level". Most of his time on the field the first two weeks was clean up duty when the game was won. And the last two weeks were Tua's 18 drop backs and the super rainy Baltimore game. He can certainly become a stud. But maybe we wait for a little bit larger sample size.

I agree. I am just going off the injury report the way it stands now.

This might....miiiiiiggggght be a good came to take Pittsburgh to cover? Occasionally back ups/rookies can come in without tape and make things happen. -14 is a lot, Pittsburgh isn't good. But if there is one game they keep it close with us, it might be this one?

The guy can’t even get through practice as a back up to the back ups without going on IR. He won’t practice for another month. At which point we’ll have Tre, Dane, and Elam. Elam is the press man sub at that point. Tre isn’t coming off the field in an important goal line situation. He was a fine pick up for what we needed given the injuries. Until he wasn’t when he got hurt again. By the time he’s ready he will be an emergency rotational player.

Rhodes is likely CB5 when this roster is healthy and 4 while Benford heals up and Tre is back.

I know that’s the case. But there is a Dibellas I go to in Albany and it sucks. Their “Buffalo Chicken Sub” is chopped grilled chicken. It’s really weird. Buffalo Dibellas is fine thoug.

Its only a reasonable alternate if you ignore the replay. The goal of the evaluation should be to determine if the symptoms could be a product of a concussion. If so, you get pulled. You can’t risk messing with your brain. The goal shouldn’t be alternative differentials to explain why it isn’t a concussion.

The thing is that an EMT at the OP vs. West Seneca JV game wouldn't OK that person to return to the game. If Tua started to lecture about string theory it wouldn't matter. The evidence on the field alone is enough to keep a pop warner kid off the field. I likely wouldn't be allowed to return for another shift in my bar league hockey game. In order for Tua to return you have to throw out evidence and/or be willing to explain it via something else.
