Bring a 3-4 DE in a 4-3 system isn't an issue as being a 3-4 ILB in a 4-3 system.

It's about teams stockpiling long term prospects. It will create long term imbalance if teams payers may want to play fir can sign and keep players on a roster. Thus is why they have a practice squad so teams can develop players but they can't be protected from another team. It's the same reason why IR rules were changed that say a player is done for the season. Teams would stock project players on the IR until injuries occured then activate them or they will keep them on the IR to develop them.

This was a weird week..... 1. bears block a FG and leon lett it to the 1 and are fortunate to get the ball back and get a FG out of it. In OT RB thought to have run 73 yared for a TD bt found to step out, later they get OT TD for win. 2. Patriots come back to get a TD for the win. 3. Detroit is down to 1 with a 1st and goal, missed 2 tries, then on 3rd down they try to get a TD and think so but rules down befofe breaking the plane with 8 seconds left. By rule a 10 seconf=d run off ends the game. 4. Giants seem to wake up in the 4th quarter to go ahead 21-14 with 21 unanswered. Eagles tie it and then make a long FG to win it on the last play of the game. 5. Browns wer down by 21 late in the 3rd 28-7 come back but fall short 31-28 and they got the ball back to tie at the end of the game. BTW----Buffalo is in first place.....

OP YOUknow Luck didn't play last week. ????

Saw this when it happened...it wasn't pretty. He should be done for the year

Based on pick value charts.... KC would have to make the super bowl for it to break even. I expect them to be a 17-23 place team...a playoff wild card team or a team who just miss the playoffs st 9-7 or 10-6. Any team can beat anyone else on a given day. KC got big plays on offense abd defense made key plays on dedense forcing FGS and stopping on 4th down. It seems the last few years new england defense has been generally poor over the early part of the s4ason before it makes adjustments.

If the Chiefs narch down for a TD I would go for 2 and make the score 36-27

It would be different if it was an inland track hitting sat the nc/SC line and move inland. The track isn't doing that. If it goes much of the length of Florida and goes ashore it will he a borderline TS^hurticane that runs parallel with voadt. Charlotte gets rain but not enough to cause a site cgamge. If this goes into the gulf then more land to weaken it and it's jut a rain event like friday/saturday with harvey. Sure some area will flood but not enough t cause a game to be postponed.

Buffalo would not host the game. The forecast now could have this off the Atlantic coast next werkrnd. Charlotte is too far from the coadt yo have a major impact that would result in game being moved. Miami, jacksonville, Tampa are places that a land falling hurticane could result in games needing to move the following weekend.

This is a tad silly.... Even without a changeover at coach and /or gm how many players from 5 drafts ago are still on the team ??? Also let's not forget to factor in trades of players to other teams for players and future picks vs giving the false impression buffalo drafted all busts.

I'd ask for a 2nd

You can't claim vested veterans cut. Those players are free to decide where they sign lie the DB from denver that there was talk of buffali kicking the tires on a trade who got cut.

It's how football works. They restructure it at something like $6M or so with incentives. We're he a free agent he would not get anything north of $10N from another team. More likely a lower bade with bonus clauses if he becomes the starter.

For a good season you need health. Having Watkins out hurt. Of their 8 loses, only the NE game at home was a l8sd. The others were loses by 8 pts or less or they had 2nd half multiple score lead. They win 3 of those 7 games (one being against mia) and they are 10-5 and likely playoff bound with a win if not clinched already. This 3 games can come down to a play or two made or not executed. Many 9f these buffalo put up points but the defense failed.

It will not happen.... First off in the nfl there isn't the kind of trade value on players you have in other leagues. You won't be trading players gor high firsts. Yes buffalo is up against the cap so there will be some players who are not re-signed and walk away. It's hard to predict how the team will be next year. The issues will be.... 1. Who starts at qb. I don't blame TT. Is he a star qb..no, is he adequate yes. 2. They could draft between 9-15. They could look st QB or the find s CB yo replace Gilmore who is likely let go.they could draft an OT or LB here too. 3. I don't know all their cap structure, dead weight and all....looking to next year... They have Watkins, Shady, and Clay on offense snd much of OL under contract. Woods likely not c9ming back, but secondary WRs could be replaced. On defense they have a strong from 7. Gilmore likely gone so they need to replace him (draft pick) Likely cuts to open up space....Carpenterand Graham.

1 CLE 1 130.5 2 SF 2 120 3 CHI 3 123.5 4 JAX 3 127 5 LA 4 120 6 NYJ 4 124.5 7 SD 5 131 8 CIN 5.5 125.5 9 CAR 6 123.5 10 PHL 6 133 11 AZ 6.5 111.5 12 BUF 7 100.5 13 IND 7 118 14 MIN 7 118 15 NO 7 125 16 TEN 8 113 17 BAL 8 118.5 18 TB 8 119 19 DEN 8 132.5 This doesnt include tonights game...... next week the only movement outside of W/L can only gain or lose 2 in opponents victories from the non common games each team has. IF teams are tied in wins, and in opponets wins then its decided by a coin flip. Buffalo draft 9-15 in 2017.

assuming no ties..... NFC Cowboys have clinched division and home field Giants have clinched a WC spot Atlanta has clinched South currently #2 Seattle has clinched the west currently #3 Doesnt matter what happens on Monday---Green Bay at Detroit in week 17 is for the division title. If Detroit loses to Dallas on Monday night then this game could turn into a winner in playoffs loser is out. DET beat DAL ---clinch a playoff spot. hey would be in the #3 spot and Seattle would move down to #4 under that situation with DET and GB tied at 9-6 into week 17..... WAS win and they get WC #6 seed IF WAS loses to the Giants.... TB has a difficult shot of getting into the playoffs......besides needing WAS to lose, they lose a 9-7 tie with DET based on common record (should DET lose to GB). If GB loses their tiebreaker goes to strength of victory tie breaker. Prior to the houston game they were tied with winns by the teams they beat at 58.5. GB has HOU win which adds 1 to them, TB has KC tomorrow, and GB had DET on Monday. With TB and who they beat most of the teams they beat play each other which limits the growth potential. GB teams dont have as much of that problem so they are likely going to end up ahead of TB. In the AFC..... PIT clinches division with a win and BAL is eliminated. IF BAL wins then they are tied and with BAL sweeping the season series they have the tiebreaker for week 17. KC win they clinch. KC loses, OAK clinches the division. OAK has clinched a playoff spot NE has clinched the division and a bye HOU has clinched the division. IF HOU and BAL are tied BAL will have the better conference record for seeding. IF HOU is tied with IT it will come to stregth of victory. OAK and NE games will be at the same time since #! seed is at play where OAK W and NE L then OAK is #1 seed. MIA clinch a WC with a victory or a DEN loss KC clinch a WC with a victory over DEN and brings MIA in with them. KC can clinch division with 2 W and OAK loss DEN over MIA based on common games record MIA over KC based on common games record MIA over PIT based on H2H PIT gets in with a tie with MIA and DEN/KC because of better conference record With BAL its division or nothing. KC doesnt get in if PIT, KC, and MIA are ll tied at 10-6 for WC spots PT get 1st WC because of conference recor, MIA gets 2nd because of common games against KC. DEN can not pass KC in standings. They can only be seed 6. current guess for schedule for week 17: NBC -- GB/DET 1:00 CBS AFC SOuth,, CLE/PIT, BAL/CIN, , and BUF/Jets. IF BAL wins on Sunday then BAL/CIN would be the primary 1pm game. 4:25 CBS NE/MIA, OAK/DEN KC/SD 1:00 FOX DAL/PHL, NO/ATL, CAR/TB, CHI/MIN 4:25 FOX SEA/SF, AZ/LA, NYG/WAS--If DET loses on MNF then WAS win would get them a wild car spot. might have OAK/DEN and SEA/SF flip between FOX and CBS

They need to be so 9-7 and everyone else is 8-8. Buffalo tied with miami at 9'7 miami gets the tiebreaker based on common games. They went 0-3 vs 1-1 in non common games. So denver has too lose all 3 left. Pittsburgh or baltimore have to go 8'8, the other wins the division. Houston and tennesee play each other...I think the last game of the season so the loser of that game and indy need to lose another game. Miami win next werk...buffalo is eliminated.

Harbaugh isn't leaving Michigan and college coaching unless he is fired. He went back to college fir a reason...he prefers it ovet pro football.

1. Win out to finish 10-6. 2. Miami lose another game 3. Denver loses to OAK and NE to get to 6 loses 4. Tennessee lose a game 5. Pittsburgh loses another game. Buffalo would have h2h against PIT Buffali would lose common games to Tennessee but beat Denver based on common games if they lose those games.

deaspin tweeted about it....

Seattle fans have been know as the 12 man for quite a while. Actually Texas A&M trademarked the name so Seattle has to pay n annuala fee to be able to use it.

I have said this in other threads on this.... Going into the season I felt buffalo could win one against NE and the games st Seattle snd Cincinati would be hard then the games against the jets, fins, raiders, steelers, and ravens were going to be competitive snd we may lose some of them. They go 0-3 in the first group and 4-3 in the second group gets them to 10-6. Seeing what we see now Cincinati isn't as good, pittsburgh isn't good on the road. Seattle isn't ad dominant. They also finish 4 out of last 6 at home. If they can get to 5-5 by week 10 they should be in good shape. I think they can be 6-4 or 7-3 after werk 12 would be great. New england has gotten some breaks with arizona not kicking a FG snd now rothlesburger being hurt. Those were two games I thought NE could lose.

Cincinnati seems weaker this year Pittsburgh may be strong at home, but the game Is in buffalo. They should sweep miami, beat sf, jets, browns, and Jags..6 wins here.That put them at 9-2. Then you have NE, at sea, at oak, PIT,cin. Win 1 of those 5 they are 20 wins and a good shot at WC, win 2 and at 11 wins, a WC spot is a near certainty.

Went for fg because they felt 5he defense was strong snd get a 3 and out. Try to win rather than tie. On the fake punt they also figure defense was strong and 3 and out and a FG making it a 7 pt game and they get the ball with time on the clock to march down.
