Bleeding Bills Blue

Michael had no problem throwing them under the bus. Sounds like a family having a falling out and him taking it public. This likely goes nowhere and gets settled because at the end of the day itll probably be two millionaires fighting over a couple million dollars.

It's their life story too though. He doesn't have a life story without them. If he's just looking for an equal share he needs to prove he didn't get it. As for why now? Thats a good question. You'd think he would have had this conversation with his agent when he signed in the NFL, or maybe his book agent when he wrote his autobiography in 2011. Maybe it would have come up in the autobiography? Who know? Seems like they had money before they even met him as well https://www.franchisetimes.com/article_archive/auspex-capital-unwinds-rgt-management-with-dose-of-philosophy/article_654b7608-e9b5-5062-929f-e96db26aaa2e.html

I'm fine paying a wide receiver. Trade a decent pick if someone becomes available as they almost always do, if I'm paying a premium I want a more premium player than Davis has shown to be at this point.

Didn't Texas A&M have it like 70 years before the bills though?

Not really at all... someone earlier had pointed out a missed tackle on brissett earlier in the game. I just wanted to include that he was in on some plays as well.

Being big and fast will only get you so far. In fact its likely to get you injured and sacked a lot tbh.

1 year starting is a big concern. Culpepper started for 4 years. Newton only had the 1 year starting (plus another Junior college year where he won the NJCAA championship)... but he won the heisman trophy and a national championship. Richardsons team went 6-6, he didn't put up much in the way of numbers, and its hard to get excited about some of the big wins when the team stat line includes 54 carries for 374 yards and 3 TDs. It's going to take some time - pocket management, blitz diagnosis, reading the field, using your eyes, rhythm passing... he needs a lot of work. I'd avoid playing him this year at all if i could - but i expect he'll play a game or two at the end of the year once they're out of the playoff picture. I also expect that he'll suck in those games. I know hooker is older, and is recovering from an injury... and levis is older and has a lot of the same wrinkles... but they just seem like better players when it comes to what happens on the field. You used the 4th overall pick to draft a redshirt player, who might need 2 redshirt years.

They drafted a TE and a guard seeing that... they needed better hands and another weapon, and just trying to build a strong offensive line requires draft resources or a ton of money. I was hoping one of Sanders or Simpson might slip to us in the 3rd, and it didn't happen. Not gonna judge a rookie based on his first camp - bernard on the other hand is a year plus in and still doesn't seem capable of playing at the speed needed to be successful. I do think Dodson/Rapp/Milano/Johnson are all going to be blitzing a bit more than they have in the past - hopefully dodson can prove more valuable in this role than edmunds.

He did have a stop on one of the back to back brissett QB runs on 3rd and 1. Pretty much ended the game right there.

I think it'd have to be the astros simply because i don't know that the orioles can match their starters in a series - and they're the defending champions.

And yet he soldiered on and led the team in tackles 🙂 Their top 10 running game managed 51 yards on 19 carries. If you want to add in the QB scrambles you have 26 carries for 80 yards.

Just for some context - The lions had the #4 Offensive in football. Coming off a 3 game winning streak (and following this loss with 3 more wins). They had 3 turnovers total in that 7 game stretch and 2 were against buffalo, and it was among their mediocre to poor outings on the season. And also dodson played 10 snaps in that game - klein played 71. Dodson did play the entire game against Cleveland. It should be noted that the game was 28-10 and the Browns gained 150 yards on offense after that 3 score lead was established, as well as 13 points.

I'd be open to it but at the fair market value of what you think he's going to produce. I like him more than slayton who got 6M AAV, but his numbers don't really line up with JuJu at 8.5M AAV. The big issue is his agents going to point at allen lazard getting 11M AAV on a 4 year deal - which feels like a lot. We don't have cap space to pay a #2 WR 11+M AAV, let alone one who has as many wrinkles as Davis.

The kid can catch - he's 6'4 250 and has huge hands. He didn't run at the combine but he looks the Ertz part. Knox is a solid player in that 50-75 target range, and his rookie year drops seem to have mostly been fixed. 2 athletic tight ends, one in line, one you can move around more, it can create mismatches and favorable run fits. I don't know what else you really want in a pass catcher on offense. Speed i guess is the name of the game right now, but i'll take hands and a student of the game over that in most cases.

Eat 6 hot dogs and tell me you don't want to be at your home base 🙂

Last one i went to, my ticket was free from a friend, and it was dollar dogs and sodas. I ate 6 hot dogs, walked down to field level and took some pictures, then left sometime in the 4th quarter to beat traffic.

The 3 players listed are not good players in what i've seen. Not to say that our RT situation has been much better. Hunt seems pretty solid at RG, and Armstead while older is still everything you want in a left tackle. The problem is their QB is a lefty and austin jackson is just not very good - tons of athleticism but hes just not physical enough. Our guy is similar but overly physical and penalty prone.

Pass protection is a big pivot - going from a team running options and generally running the ball more than passing... to a team that passes considerably more than they run. He also plays a position that had a returning starter.

6'3 230 - guys a load to take down. He ran a sub 4.4 40 at the combine (2014 but do with that information what you want :-))

Super bowl ending last year was pretty bad - that holding call at the end just abruptly ended the game when they swallowed their whistles all game long. Pretty weak call, and then factoring in that it was 3rd and 8 with 1:54 left, and philly having a timeout and moving the ball mostly at will... just felt fishy to me.

I watched mostly Fields highlights, but i did watch him play against buffalo and he looked terrible. Cold and windy game so i guess that can't be discounted - allen also looked pretty terrible. I just felt like buffalo focused on containing fields and he had no answer. They literally lost the last 10 games of the season including winnable games against miami (2 chances to score in 4th quarter, punt and turnover on downs), detroit (3 and out and turnover on downs in 2 minute drill) and atlanta (down 3, intercepted in 2 minute drill). He doesn't flash much as a rhythm passer, so teams can play a bit deeper in their zones which tends to result in tougher windows. You can blame the line a little bit, but 91 sacks in 2 seasons and a career sack rate of 13.4 is worse than tyrod/kaepernick/vick etc. - and his 14.7% sack rate last year is worse than Rob Johnson's career in buffalo. There's bad offensive lines, and there's the habit of holding the ball... i don't think you can say its just one or the other.

That probably pushes a LB off the roster - or hamlin. I don't think they like lewis more than hamlin tbh.

Maybe Lawson. Depends how many DBs they keep too. This is how i have it. I cut Mancz because he's not good and you can just put him on the PS for a 3rd string center if needed. Tough to see a full need for 6 LB's when we rarely play more than 2. Matakevich is on PUP at the moment so you can just flip flop him with Klein.

Both Gilliam and Morris play special teams, so that gives them some roster advantage in the back end of a 53 man roster. I believe Matakevich is on PUP at the moment, so I'm not sure where his status is at the moment. Klein can play special teams too - it's always tricky when you're talking about a 3rd stringer though. The majority of a 3rd stringers snaps are on special teams, so you probably evaluate that when saying i want this guy or that guy. Whichever defensive player is injured at the time he comes back most likely.

https://www.sportskeeda.com/nfl/news-which-quarterback-longest-active-regular-season-starting-streak-nfl-examining-top-5-qbs-available I think it matters less as a "season long" loss, once that happens you're done anyway. It's more like, if Allen misses week 10 MNF against denver - can the backup step in and do enough to not kill us? Are we better off with Barkley? If you think that, then you have to cut K. Allen, and look to add someone developmental to the practice squad.
