Let's gooooooo Bufffaaaaalllloooooooo!!

Yea I saw a fair bit of that game. Kid can play. And I agree w/ Rams. They've got a few pieces but it is half a rebuilt team half the old guys and all a bit disjointed.

Yea that does ring a bell now you say it.

Yea gotta be a numbers game, right? And Elam does one thing - backup boundary corner - he can't play inside, he doesn't play teams and so he is vulnerable when numbers are tight.

Oweh having a game.

Baltimore Pittsburgh in a fight.

This is a proper Ravens - Steelers game

Yeeeesh Tucker is done.

Sneak on 3rd down get half a yard then decide to turn around needing half a yard and hand it off? Okay.

I think Drake Maye can play.

So Jordan Phillips was one of those. But Beane was still Assistant GM in Carolina when he came out, but he brought him to Buffalo when Miami cut bait. That first spell did work out (spell 2 less so, let's see on spell 3). The other guys who are in my mind for that were on, or are still on, the Practice Squad. Which is what makes me think he'd have to make it through waivers for the Bills to make a move.

It is true. It's been an issue multiple times this season. In the two losses they were dreadful passing on first down too, Houston in particular. Conversely at Seattle their first down passing was really good. It's something they absolutely need to self scout on at the bye. It should be the easiest down to pass on but the Bills have struggled to do much of anything through the air on first down other than wide receiver screens.

We don't know exactly but given he is in a cast pretty safe to assume its more than the normal risk of injury in an NFL game.

I think the maturity we have seen from Josh this year has been really impressive. I'm not sure it has always been a strength of his, but the past year we have really seen that growth.

I don't remember that story but if its true expect them to have some interest. Beane has done it a few times gone back to guys he liked at the draft who didn't pan out elsewhere. Not sure they'd claim him because they'd have to put him on the 53. But if he makes it through waivers then I'd imagine the Bills might offer him a PS spot. Yea me too. I thought he was a day 3 guy.

No I got the point. But as you say it is designed this way from months out. We know the two networks get to protect one game a year from prime time and we know for a second year running CBS chose Bill - Chiefs. So I don't think it is startling or susprising. It is just the way the broadcast contracts work.

There are no other CBS games in the late window. There are only three late window games and the other two are all NFC (9ers - Hawks) and NFC at AFC (Falcons - Broncos) so are both Fox under the normal broadcast rules. I am sure anyone who isn't a fan of those other 4 teams will have CBS on and be watching Allen and Mahomes but the lack of a broadcast map is because CBS only has one game.

If Cooper was properly healthy, sure. If he isn't personally I'd hold him out.

Actually not true. The 13 second game he was very good indeed. Easily the Bills best defensive player.

Get. Him. Healthy.

If I am defining "move forward" as the next two years it is Josh Allen and Taron Johnson. I do think Rousseau is close if we are thinking realistic price. If someone offered me a top 5 pick I'd probably trade him. But nobody is going to. For anything approaching a realistic price he might just be the 3rd guy.

That is interesting actually. Makes me even more of a mind that I am not forcing him out there this week if I have a chance to get him fully healthy and have him as a weapon they haven't seen before at playoff time. I know he is hardly some unknown quantity, but if the DBs haven't got a feel for how it is to go against him, his release, his level of physicality etc I can't help but think there may be some, slim, advantage in that at playoff time.

See @NewEra's post earlier about yards given up in the run game with Groot on the field vs without. It appears to me based on the actual evidence that he does "overcome the scheme" to quite a large extent actually.

That's awesome. I have seen Zidane, Messi and Maldini in the flesh I think they are probably the best 3 players I have had the pleasure to see live.

Not only our best win but I think the 2nd best team we have played after Baltimore. I'd take them straight up vs Houston.
