    Bottom 5 in 4th down attempts last 3 of the last 4 years

     

     

     

    I'm sorry but you're completely wrong.

     

    We have been bottom 5 in the league at going for it on 4th down, 3 of the last 4 years.  

     

    Is that bottom 5 in attempts on 4th down or percentage of 4th downs attempted?  Just asking to understand better

    Does James Cook leave or get an extension if he keeps this level of play up?

    Bills might be facing a tough decision heading into 2025 if Cook has another good year this year.  Cook will be on the final year of his deal in 2025...so do you think if he keeps playing at a high level they commit to him with an extension or do you think they avoid having an expensive RB and either try and trade him or just let him walk in FA?  

    Sounds like a question that can't be answered until after 2024.

    I was a lit.tle surprised we didn’t even workout Fournette.  Not that he’s a world beater, but he may fit a role.  I don’t know enough about Ty Johnson

    I heard Fournette was going to come in for a visit.  He did not.  If I am guessing, as Ty Johnson was on our practice squad, and we were going to bring Fournette in for a visit.  Maybe another team was looking at moving Ty Johnson to their 53 and he chose to be elevated to the Bills 53 (maybe for less money?).  So, we didn't bring in Fournette.

     

    Regardless, I would think/guess Fournette would come in for a visit next week or soon.

     

    This is all my personal speculation, fyi.

    I'll just say this, if Ingram is activated instead of Elam, then we know that there is a SERIOUS problem there. Hopefully that won't be the case.

    Agreed, that is the very interesting question.  Ingram comes highly regarded after training camp.  But, shouldn't jump Elam on the depth chart, but, it would not surprise me.  Ingram is 6'2" also which is an additional positive attribute, just an fyi, I am not saying height is ultra important, just interesting.

     

    I hope Elam can play in the NFL.  He did last year (and well most of the time), so, I think he can.  I also hope he was just outplayed by Dane Jackson and Benford thusly below them on the depth chart this year.  And, didn't dress because he didn't play special teams.

     

    I hope Elam steps in as next man up and does a good job!  I think and hope he can.

     

    Go Bills!

    As to the entire idea of this thread: Didn't we learn anything about the NFL yesterday? Last week, every talk show told us how unstoppable the fish were. The fish were already booking their tickets to Las Vegas. They were making room for the Lombardi trophy in their display case. And then a game happened.

     

    One game at a time, people, and you better be ready to play every game.

     

    Hmmmm? Who do we play next? Oh, yeah., the Jacksonville Jaguars. That vial you have in your mouth right now comes from the memory you tried to bury deep in your brain of the last time we played them. Never forget how awful this following sentence is:

     

    We lost to an Urban Meyer's coached football team--he did not even last the season that year.

     

    One game, one week at a time, people, one game at a time!

    I agree with you mostly.

     

    But, last week with the Fish, that was the media pumping up storylines.  The media helps pump up narratives for Vegas to be successful.

     

    But, yes, one game and week at a time.  Weekly matchups and preparation can change a game in a big way.

     

    Hopefully the Bills defensive game plan has helped other teams learn how to slow down the Dolphins offense.
