Looks like we are going to see him tomorrow so hopefully he steps up.

The last few games with Brissett there were flashes of greatness. I obviously still believe in him. It wouldn’t surprise me at all if he had a top 5 receiving season next year. He’s the guy I’d try to deal for but doubt that they will. The only hope is that they’re hitting the reset at QB and may want the ammo. If I am ranking the OSU receivers in terms of dominance over the last handful of years it would look like this(ish): Jeremiah Smith Gap MHJ small gap JSN Carnell Tate Wilson Egbuka Olave

I wanted OBJ before pretty much every move until now. Even though he was showing signs of decline, I would have taken him before the Rams, Ravens and Dolphins (may be forgetting a stop or 2). It’s now been since that Rams Super Bowl I think since he looked like a good player. That ship sailed for me. Finally ready to let go of it…

Ironically, the double down likely would have been Franklin (or maybe Baker). They seemed like the guys that “slipped.” Baker looks like a disaster. Franklin would have ended up as the Benford to Coleman’s Elam. Franklin isn’t as good as Benford but the point being, he looks like a solid starting WR.

As an interesting exercise, I’m curious how you and @GunnerBill would redraft the guys picked in the top 2 rounds? To recap: MHJ, Nabers, Odunze, BTJ, Worthy, Pearsall, Legette, Coleman, McConkey, Polk, & Mitchell are the guys.

The reality is, if it was anyone OTHER than Skylar Thompson they probably would have won.

My thought is that they should sellout to stop the run. Play like you did against the Panthers. The Texans aren’t a great running team but that should still be the focus IMO.

He might play well. The Bills defense has been bad (particularly against the run). The point was, and is, regardless of how he performs this week, he’s a better option for the Bills than Stroud. Mills playing over Stroud is absolutely a break for the Bills. It doesn’t guarantee victory but it improves their chances.

It’s the same game plan as it was against Carolina. I agree, that the execution is the challenge. Get the lead and then just tee off Mike Glennon 2.0. The Panthers running game is better than the Texans but their defense is better than the Panthers.

I don’t consider the Chicken Littles on this message board as experts. 100% “of experts” is the number. If Mills goes out there this week and throws for 350 yards and 4 TDs, Stroud plays the next game. We have officially gone crazy on TBD.

100%. That’s not hyperbole. With the exception of you and a couple of other message board Chicken Littles, it’s 100%. There’s a reason they are trying to get Stroud back in the lineup. 🤣🤣 When he’s cleared he’s not going to sit behind Davis Mills. 🤣🤣 We have officially lost our minds here. @GunnerBill hit on it earlier. I’m old enough to remember people mad that we had to play Dalton instead of Bryce Young.

You want the worse player. Mills is the worse player. Dalton is worse than Bryce Young. Next week Rudolph is worse than Rodgers. Flacco is worse than Burrow. Just sell out to stop the run. It’s not rocket science. If you get beat by Davis Mills, you deserve to lose.

What are we doing here? 🤣🤣 Yes, Stroud has regressed. He is 100% a better QB than Davis Mills. 🤣🤣 Go to the Texans message boards and get their thoughts. See who they think is a better player. Read any expert. 100% of them will say Stroud is better than Mills. Mills would say that Stroud is better than Mills.

That’s about as bad of a loss as you can have. You can’t blow that type of lead.

The Bills catch a break…

I would try to bring those 2 back. I’m assuming that’ll cost about the same as Torrence. I’m thinking Anderson fills one spot next year. Agree on the WR. I don’t think they can focus on the draft for that guy. They CAN gamble on George Pickens I suppose. He looked incredible last night. Can you depend on him? Who knows but the talent is there. Great call. He will be against Christian Gonzalez too. He does suck. Lol, everything posted is some manufactured way to pump him up. Lol, earlier in the thread we talked about ignoring his last 17 games but looking at his first 5. 🤣🤣 The Bills score more points when he’s out of the lineup. I haven’t compared the average depth of target for Ladd vs. Keon. I’d like to see it if you have it. If you compare Keon to other Bills receivers, I’d imagine that 41% is by far the worst. He plays with the MVP of the league and is one of the least efficient receivers in the league.

I don’t think that gets MHJ. It MAY get BTJ. Harrison was really coming on with Brissett at QB. The Jags seem fed up with BTJ. The Bills tried to get him at the deadline. I don’t know what was offered but they were trying. I’d imagine that they’ll try again. The trade that I keep throwing out is Torrence and a pick for Higgins. The Bills aren’t going to pay him $20m+ a year (I don’t think). They have some depth there and can get there number 1 that way.

Oh no, we aren’t doing this. Over the equivalent of the last 17 games, Coleman has caught 41% of the balls thrown his way!! He doesn’t get volume because he doesn’t get open!! Ladd has caught 64% of the balls thrown his way this year and 73% of them last year. Don’t you think if Keon were open more they’d throw him the ball more?!?

This is probably right. It may be as soon as Thursday. I think we may be without 2 guys on Thursday at WR. I’d play Moore over him but I don’t think that they will. If Keon is dressed, it will be in a limited capacity but the Bills play a bunch of guys. He is going to have a couple of chances. If they throw him the ball 4 times, it can’t result in 1 catch.

If he becomes a star in his next step, I hope it’s a Wyatt Teller situation. I know Teller is in the AFC, but he went somewhere that would never be real competition. If Coleman becomes a good player I hope that he does it in a Saints jersey or something like that.

I don’t mean to jump back in but they aren’t the same. McConkey is going to have another 1,000 yard season, 80+ catches and at least 6 or 7 TDs. This is on the heels of a rookie season where he had 82/1149/7. That isn’t the same as Keon. No matter how many ways, we cut up and manipulate Keon’s numbers to fit our agenda. It’s not only not the same, it’s not similar. If Keon had either of those years we’d give him a key to the city.

So, we are cheering for the Bills to move closer to the 1 seed and for Baltimore & KC to miss the playoffs. Works for me

He could but it doesn’t look like Allen is going to slow anytime soon. Josh Allen has played 43 regular season games since the start of 2023 (I’m not counting the game he took the snap and left). In those 43 games he has 37 rushing TDs!! They’re using him more in the red zone and I don’t think that will ever change. He’s way too efficient down there.

My feelings on Bishop are documented on here. He looked lost but had a high ceiling. His RAS was really high. He was worth the investment in case he harnessed the athletic upside. I do not usually have an issue with character concerns. For the right talent, you push it to the side. Diggs caused some headaches. They shouldn’t have been so quick to move on. Marshawn was immature but playing at a Pro Bowl level to start his career. That’s not like Coleman. If he had 1100 yards and 7 TDs as a rookie, we would look the other way on his immaturity.

Lynch went to the Pro Bowl. He had an 1100 yard season and a 1000 yard season in his first 2 years. He scored 15 TDs. He was a top 15 pick with little risk. There’s no comparison between the 2. I didn’t like when they let Jason Peters go either. I did like the moves to dump Boogie Basham, Cody Ford and Kaiir Elam. Those guys, like Keon sucked. The difference is they didn’t have people willing to lay down in traffic for them. To be clear, I’m not ready to move on from Keon because he’s immature. I’m ready to move on because he’s a bad football player. He has MAJOR flaws that I don’t believe you can overcome. If you can get a warm hot chocolate for him, take it.
