    Bills work out OT La’el Collins

    I think he is washed. He certainly looked it last year with the Bengals.

    To my mind, “washed” would imply being worn out, right? But he’s only 30, which really isn’t too old for an OT. If he experienced a significant decline in play from his time in Dallas, one wonders what other issues there might have been, and can he be fixed?

    Davis to the Packers?

     

    Green Bay Packers Expected To Sign Buffalo Bills 24-Year-Old Star Weapon (Report)

     

    Gabe Davis would be the Packers’ receiving yards leader with his 2023 total despite not gaining a yard in three of the last four games.

    Davis, who has 595 yards this season, could be poised to take the step up from supporting Stefon Diggs to No. 1 wide receiver.

     

    The 24-year-old may not have the best regular season going at the moment, but his postseason performances could make him more valuable to certain teams.

    Davis turned in a 100-yard game last season against the Miami Dolphins and had 201 receiving yards versus the Kansas City Chiefs two years ago in the divisional-round thriller.

    Well, I suppose an article featured in "Wisconsin Sports Heroics," titled, "Green Bay Packers Expected To Sign Buffalo Bills 24-year-old Star Weapon (Report)," containing only blithe conjecture, and written by a die-hard Packers fan, with an associates degree in General Studies is exactly the reason Simon created this thread.

    To be fair,  Esther plays a mean electric violin,  along with being very hot. 

    Most of the Bills fans I knew there traveled considerably less than 2500 miles. I drove 400, most were within 100 miles living in SoCal.

    Imagine when the Bills were bad,  how many fans would drive to Toronto,  if the team had moved there,  after just giving up 63 points,  2 days before Christmas?

    I do hate that vibe though,  it's worse at basketball games.

     

    Here's a funny little LAMP: I live in Los Angeles, and work in the motion picture industry in set lighting. A couple years ago, I did one of her music videos, and yeah... she's hot, and a legit musician. Also super nice.

    I always felt like we underrated Singletary. 

    I agree. The notion that Harris was an upgrade, or even a lateral move, was ridiculous to me. They had almost identical stats in many categories, including ypc, but Harris did that on the Pat*, who were predicated on the run. And the one category where Motor was far better was the simple stat of availability. I don't believe Harris has gone one entire season without missing game, but Motor routinely got mashed, and would pop right back up like he was made of rubber. I'm definitely a fan of his.

     

    But, I also suspect the main reason he was cut was his lack of receiving skills, and his poor drop rate. I know that on paper, his drop rate wasn't so bad, but I do believe that several of his drops came on check downs. You can't drop check-downs on a spread offense!

    I was at the game yesterday.  Coolest stadium I've seen.  Nothing pathetic at all.  

    Can't find one negative about it.  

    I was there too. It is a gorgeous stadium. I think we can agree that the Chargers' fan base was pathetic, though. Pretty embarrassing when the opposing team (from 2,500 miles away) has a louder fan base than the home team.

     

    I also didn't much care for the way the Chargers' production team directs the game day experience. They try to go for this young, nightclub vibe, with Esther Anaya as their deejay, and all the very loud house music. Very different, I thought, from the Rams games at SoFi.

    "Josh sucked until the final drive..."

     

    His passing record post interception:

    - Successful 4-yard pass to Diggs

    - Successful 6-yard pass to Diggs

    - Successful 16-yard pass to Shakir

    - Successful 36-yard pass to Davis

     

    - Successful 6-yard pass to Cook (negated by penalty on Brown)

    - Successful 28-yard pass to Davis (negated by penalty on Morse)

     

    - Successful 17-yard pass to Knox

    - Successful 8-yard pass to Diggs

    - Unsuccessful deep pass to Diggs

    - Successful 11-yard pass to Diggs

    - Successful 15-yard pass to Shakir

     

    Admittedly there were issues early on, but would disagree with him sucking until the final drive. Sucking up to and including the interception, yeah, can maybe accept that. Even the sack, I preferred him to protect the ball than air it. Martin then stepped in to help him out.

     

    There's been a lot of complaining about Martin on these pages recently, and I don't get it. He was certainly solid yesterday, including booming a 60 yarder out of the end zone. Tough to do.

    The reality is we were lucky yesterday.  Josh was bad Josh until the last drive.  Cook had a pivotal fumble.  The defense let a guy with no experience in the league almost win the game for the Bolts.  The only guy that played really well was Oliver.  
     

    Just admit they sucked yesterday and got lucky.  They won’t be that bad every game; I suspect they’ll squish the Fish like Josh always does.  But they sucked yesterday and have too many times this year against inferior competition and that’s why they’re in the position they’re in.

    Gabe Davis also had a great game.

    I liked hearing Oliver talk about Poona. I was at the game, and I didn't even realize that he had gotten that sack-- I thought it was Oliver. The emcee at SoFi literally did not even mention a single Bills player's name once. It will be interesting to see how my perceptions at the stadium match up to what was presented on TV.

    I just got home from watching the game live at SoFi. A few observations from the stands:

    • Not a good showing for offense or defense, IMO. They both allowed a crappy Chargers team to stay in the game.
    • What's up with Diggs? Has it been a few weeks now that he just seems off? 
    • Gabe Davis looked like the best player on the field tonight.
    • Last week I was impressed with how well Joe Brady play-called. He found things that worked, and stuck with them. In this game, he found things that didn't work, and stuck with them anyway. That frikkin' jumbo package with Edwards in as a sixth OL-- always announced as an eligible receiver-- hand-off to the RB in whichever direction Edwards was taking up space for around two yards. It was infuriating. By the middle of the second quarter, I said to my 13yo, "they gotta stop running that play..." And they never did. Every time we'd hear the ref say over his mic, "number 76 has reported as an eligible receiver," my son, and I would look at each other in exasperation.
    • Having both Phillips, and Epenesa out was huge. Daquan Jones can't come back soon enough.
    • One thing that was pretty incredible, that I was not expecting: Bills fans literally outnumbered the Chargers fans, and were literally twice as loud. The players must have noticed this.

    Are there actually Chargers fans  in LA?

    Oh yeah, absolutely. I’m at SoFi stadium now, and I’ve seen several.

    It's 70 degrees. Let Diggs wear what he wants to wear.

     

    He was probably sick of wearing a parka

    It’s actually a very frigid 65 degrees here in Inglewood. All the LA natives are wearing their puffy North Face jackets.

    I gotta say I hate it. I love Josh he’s an amazing QB that does not need to do this, it’s embarrassing. I was talking to my buddy who is an Eagles fan about this about 4 or 5 weeks ago. 
    I hate it in hockey and in soccer, it’s the most embarrassing thing a great player can do. Once again Josh is GREAT, he’s gotta stop flopping when he’s hit, it’s a terrible look. 

    Specially when he’s out there trucking guys and stiff arming when he’s running. He can’t fall like he was shot and flail on the ground looking for a call when he’s touched in the backfield.

    In fact, I think the flopping is downright necessary. It's often the case with physical QBs that they just aren't protected as much as the Tuas of the league. I remember when Michael Vick was in his prime, he wouldn't draw an unnecessary roughness flag ever. It's probably less of an issue now than it used to be, but think back to the egregious horse collar Josh got in the Eagles game, with a ref, about four yards away, staring right at him. If Josh gets fouled, he's gotta let them know.

    Belichik to LAC is so obvious and might be the perfect offseason match in years.

     

    If it does happen the Chargers will be an instant SB contender next year.

    You never fail to entertain.

    Maybe he'll bring Mac & Cheese Jones-- just to punish him for ruining his legacy in NE.
