    RB and WR markets are actually insane.

    You can’t ignore the market. That doesn’t mean that you can’t take advantage of inefficiencies though. I’m certainly not saying that. I think we agree that we overpaid for Palmer. The fact that we signed him day 1 of free agency should tell us that was likely the case. I agree that we should avoid moves like that.

     

    Elijah Moore OTOH is a move I like a lot. Not because I think he’ll be an elite WR, but because we got him cheap and he has a chance to be far more productive than his contract would indicate. A major part of why we got that deal is because of Allen. Moore is willing to take less money to play with Allen so he has a better shot at a big payday next offseason. That’s the leverage we have and we should be taking better advantage of it.

     

    Look at the trade deals the Patriots got on players when Brady was there. We should be going harder after quality players at discount rates when available too. We haven’t taken advantage of that either. 

     

    As for the RB market, there are only a few players worth a big premium and we don’t have one of those. There’s no reason to overpay at that position unless we can get a Barkley or Henry type talent. 

    Hard for me to say we overpaid on Palmer when he hasn't even been on the field yet. We also don't know who else was trying to sign him at the time.

    Bills 6th Round Pick (#1) : Dorian Strong - CB - VA Tech

    One game away from the Super Bowl last year. An injury to our best CB played large part of that loss. I'm sorry but to me in football you can win a lot more by stopping the opposition and score than trying to outscore the opposition imo. 

    gotta do both...

    Alright, let me ask you this, “if the Bills are to win a Super Bowl, what is the likeliest way?” I’ll say, our MVP QB is the most important piece. I don’t think a case can be made otherwise. The most important thing is for him to go in with a loaded gun.

     

    They don’t believe that. It hasn’t worked. Lots and lots and lots of people over the years could have taken Josh Allen to where he has gotten. Instead of trying to cover holes, they should be making his fastball faster and then covering the holes. They are sending him out with a bottom 5ish group of pass catchers again. That’s malpractice. if you look at the asset allocation they’ve given him WAY less than any other top QB has been given in terms of playmakers. The draft value charts will illustrate that. My question is why? It hasn’t worked so why keep trying it that way? You win BECAUSE of Josh. You aren’t going to win a Super Bowl because you have the 8th best defense instead of the 14th best or whatever. It is Josh Allen.

    Except you can't win a Super Bowl unless your in the game and he Chiefs/Bengals won't let us in the game. Better D wins those games. We scored plenty of points.

    Camp Battles - Stock Up or Stock Down

    Stock Up:  (Rousseau and Oliver were in mid-season form today)

    Here are some guys who I thought helped their cause today

    1) Ray Davis

    2) Frank Gore Jr.

    3) Hardy

    4) Ingram

    5) Andreessen

    6) Q. Morris

    7) Z Davidson

    8.) Bass - 3 for 3 baby!

    9) Jonathan

    10) Martin - 6 punts - 52.8 yard average

     

    Stock down:

    1) Trubisky - at least 2 of the sacks were his fault for not getting the ball out quick enough.

    2) Hamler 

    3) Shavers

    4) Shorter 

    5) Edwards (OL)

    6) Collins (OL) He looks done.

    7) Epinesa - seems to be struggling against 2nd/3rd stringers??

     

    I think Jonathan, Ingram, and Hardy did a great deal today to help earn jobs on the 53 man roster.  Andreessen may have played his way onto the practice squad.  

     

    I'm bullish on Shakir, Samuel and Kincaid, but Hollins, MVS and Coleman have not impressed so far.  Coleman has an "excuse," but Hollins and MVS don't.  The good news for them is Hamler, Shorter and Shavers have done much either.  Granted Trubisky is throwing the ball to them, but I'm not really seeing them get open much.  I hate to say this but Davidson looks better than any of the depth WRs.  

    I agree with a lot of what you have here. Gore looks far down the charts and Hardy didn't make plays.

    Brisket takes skill and time.

    Love BBQ
    Cattle country for sure
    Davis and McKenzie are alright by me. and not just for the footballing skills  : D

     

    Go Bills

    Anyone can smoke pork...3, 2, 1... Brisket is an artform.  That said, I'll take KC BB over central Texas, which beats Memphis and then St Louis. Carolina doesn't enter the discussion, but I love it too! Lived in all these places and therefore feel qualified to judge. Myself, its a simple Traeger job done right.

    The 1-10 defense

    Jam them at the line, Kelce and Hill. Don't allow them into the secondary. Even with a 5 yrd penalty, they burn clock and only have one play left. Then double team both play them over the top with safeties. Make anyone else beat us on that one last play from the 30. They'd need 35-40 yrds to get in FG range.

    Great win for the Bills

    Thought Dawkins played well considering he was coming back from a week off due to the COVID. Great game by OL overall. Losing IB is bigger than most think. We lose another IOL without Felicia coming back likely going to be a problem. Still like to see ore off tackle and wider runs than we have called. No push up the middle so we need to look elsewhere. Maybe some misdirection off tackle? Great game though! 

    Run and stop the run.

    FFS NO! NO!

     

    We needed to throw MORE than we did; it was the only successful thing we did tonight.

     

    The fact that we refused to try is a major reason why we lost.

     

     

    No, failing to stop the run is the biggest reason we lost. Tough conditions for the pass dependent offense. No way the Pats should score any points throwing the ball less than 5 times!

    we did stack the box, didn't help.

    Not all the time, but I agree....we suck.

    Agreed. What was Leslie thinking? How many total passes did the Pats throw and yet we didn't stack the box with DL? Stop the run and make them throw should have been obvious pregame and certainly once the run got out of hand. We can't run or stop the run.  Until we can, Josh and the Wrs are going to bein a difficult scenario. 

    This O-line is why the Bills won’t win it all this year.

    Need to trade for an OL at the deadline. DL for OL? Morse is barely average, maybe.. when he's not concussed... The rest simply blow. Spencer Brown is a good find. He is the best of the group. Felecia has regressed, lost weight a plausible reason? Dawkins not back yet and was never a great run blocker. Williams never the answer as a RT. G play is very sad. That said, they aren't bad pass blocking as a unit, but cannot dominate at the LOS and will continue to be dominated by the elite DLs.
