Most electric player? I don’t know…he’s good and has had some flashes over a decent NFL career, but let’s not go crazy here.

So in one topic you say how you hate the whole “power of prayer” thing during this ordeal, and here you worry about a handful of fools who might think the Bills forfeited? Might need to recalibrate

I doubt very strongly that there will be any type of "roster lock" like you describe. This flies in the face of everything the league has done insofar as making sure teams get as many healthy bodies on the gameday squad as possible, up to the 53 limit.

Did anyone noticeably slip at any point during the game? I think Tua stumbled once, but not really a slip.

I just don’t get this line of thinking…have we not seen multiple examples of teams doing exactly this? Hell, with that amount of time it would be very easy to envision 2 Hail Marys from roughly mid field. Who the hell wants that, vs a chip shot FG?

Have you watched NFL games recently? There are several teams with complete secondaries made up of back-ups and practice squad guys.

I tend to agree, but it also feels like they haven't really learned from some of their mistakes (other than the NE game). 3rd and long D, holding penalties, having 2 or 3 surefire plays to gain 5 yards, etc. Getting better in these areas would absolutely make them more playoff-ready.

But can you really keep playing that card when you are the one largely (totally?) responsible for having those sub-par QBs on the field?

…and the Pats😂

Keyvon Seymour sighting in Baltimore/Denver game

OK, I'll play along....so what? Should we throw him the ball less? Bench him? trade him? Send him to WR University this summer?

Good Lord....someone is actually finding something to complain about with Stefon Diggs after what he's produced last night and all year. Unreal.

Are you actually referring to Vegas odds-makers as “outsiders?” …making YOU the insider??

For all the doom and gloom about the late game D....huge goal line stand and INT vs Balt; interception of Mahomes in final minute to protect 3 pt lead; Goal line stand vs Minn with < 1:00 up 4, and then again in OT to give the offense a chance.. I know it hasn't been all roses, but come on.

And you want to be my latex salesman?

A Patriots-esque move...let a guy walk, he kind of disappears, then bring him back for pennies a couple years later and he fits right in. Like J Phillips and Shaq did this year.

I also thought Hamlin had a poor game. He seems fast as hell but loves to dive (and vs KC, miss) when tackling. Not a good trait as a Safety.

His past play as a gadget guy/ punt returner/ Beasley replacement led to an increased role this year. It just ain’t working. The drops, stumbles, and no YAC ( which was supposed to be his thing) are obvious. Especially compared to legit NFL receivers on this team and across the league.

Stifle yourself - that ball was perfect. You lead him AT ALL and you get your WR killed

Oh he will suit up from time to time, maybe get a couple carries. But this move is essentially replacing guy #53ish on their roster. It's not to plug him in as a significant piece of a puzzle.

Is this for real? Ugly?

Blackshear will never be heard from again, most likely. He’s #4 on a team with a superstar and 2 legit RBs (Foreman and Hubbard) ahead of him. Good for him though to get the paycheck.

I think the casual fan loves the storyline of a guy who is somehow SO good at their job/sport compared to everyone else. Bellicheat was that guy among NFL coaches. Rather than showing humility, his crappy attitude toward the press and others when he did lose makes any current criticism very enjoyable to me.

This doesn’t sound right

The bolded is true when you hit a home run on drafting one of those premium position players. What if the more likely scenario happens and the player is "good"...that second contract gets a lot trickier as other teams with cap space will over pay for "good" CB', DE's, etc. I also think you could spin your argument to taking RBs early...most RBs come out of the gate in peak or close-to-peak performance. Why not draft one and get great value for 3-5 years? Let him walk when that second contract comes up, and start back over. Spend your FA dollars on other premium position needs.
