may we hope that child grows up knowing love and support from both of his or her parents.
Dude has got a major split in the road moment here... one that has forged a winning attitude in some of the greatest men ever! Or revealed to everyone and themselves the ultimate act of cowardice, immaturity and selfishness of their own character.
For all parties involved I hope Stef picks the right one! Hes young enough to right the ship that is his life, relationships and attitude, and wind up a better man for it. I can say without a doubt in my mind, I'd be proud as heck to see him pick the high road on this one!

I generally agree with you...
Know draft rating boards they fo factor in system fit. Buffalo playing a 4-3 D they are downgrading players whk might only be a 3-4 fit. Similarly roster needs factor in. Buffalo having Allen isn't using a 1/3 day pick on a QB now.
With Watkins it was injuries that did him jn.
Others its just not doing well enough at the pro level.
What's not there yet in scouting is the ability to measure the player alone vs teammate effects
We've seen players drafted high that suck but then go to a new team and succeeed. Success in league is so heavily dependant on system fit.
No, injuries, specifically how they lingered, were a symptom of 'No Brain Disease', significantly worse than CTE. Dude admitted to getting drunk EVERY night! He didnt put in any work in the film room. Finally,
HE CUT HIS G*D** CAST OFF WITHOUT MEDICAL INPUT OR EVEN MEDICAL SUPERVISION!
DO YOU KNOW WHAT KIND OF RARE COMPANY THAT PUTS HIM IN? PEOPLE WHO HAVE CUT THEIR OWN CAST OFF - PEOPLE WHO HAD MEDICAL INSURANCE, LET ALONE THE LITERAL BEST IN THE WORLD?!
Absolutely. F'n. Bonkers!

All good points.
Id be shocked they didnt have one and that they could not add one based on rules. But they also can't wear their socks the wrong way so you may be right.
Josh has worn one before. Not sure if just in practice or in a game.
Will be interesting to see if this is just temporary or if his wife will make him wear it permanently...lol
Of all the things she could make him wear, this would be the least cruel! Veggies arent the only thing better for the body when raw

I doubt he is getting much out of the production meetings.
“What’s the plan this week? “
“we want to establish the run and convert 3rd downs.”
The biggest advantage he has is getting to interview potential coaches or players to joining the raiders. It can be under the guise of a production meetings, but he has access to coaches and players like no other team has
I didnt think anything of the media side of this... teams can choose to say or not say things but great point on the legal tampering loophole.
Owners didnt care at the time because its good for value of all the teams... now the bill is due, and theyre scrambling looking for mistakes on the receipt.
Im just going to decide not to care. Until proven otherwise, anybody leaving my team to g2 Raiders is making a mistake 🤷♂️

His interviews are definitely red flags - he comes across as an Adam Gates type (without the weird googly eye thing).Interesting! Is their one that sticks out? Can't say ive seen it, I may have dismissed it myself a week ago... but seeing that Lions celebration, and post game handshake with Campbell was a major red flag.
The guy could've got another HC job a year early, and he stuck it out to try and wrap up 'unfinished business'. In the business that is the nfl, thats a move that should leave you beloved.
Wonder if players think he was to busy interviewing during post season, to help them try and reach a SB. That'd be my guess with the limited info we have.

My unpopular opinion is that QBs make themselves. The coaching doesn't matter nearly as much to that outcome as people think. I'm not saying coaching doesn't affect how well the offense as a whole functions, just that great QBs will be great no matter what coach they get tethered to and ditto for bad QBs. Daboll was dubbed a QB whisperer because Allen became elite under his watch. Turns out he's closer to the guy that had 30th ranked offenses for the vast majority of his pre-Allen career.
Nobody should have expected Ben Johnson to show up and "fix" Caleb Williams. I'm sure some Bears fans are disappointed but that's only because they had an unrealistic expectation. I continue to believe they will move on from Caleb Williams next year unless he shows massive improvement over the course of the season. Johnson isn't going to risk his first head coaching shot on an underperforming QB that he isn't tied to. He'll get his handpicked QB next year and then we'll begin to really see if he can live up to the hype.
While I think their can be exceptions, I think all evidence we've seen has been contradictory.
I think itd be foolish to assume that teams like Cleveland, NYJ, and Chicago have repeatedly "guessed wrong"... year after year.
If you look at these teams individually it certainly looks like these teams are ruining prospects, that would've panned out elsewhere.
When you combine these teams and a few others, its pretty ubdeniable IMO, that from an odds perspective, theres no way these teams have had that many bites at the apple. Some years theyre accounting for the first 2, 3, or 4 qbs taken overall!
There was an article on this recently on how different teams have handled high drafted QB's, amd looking at the details, its pretty easy to see where a bunch of these QB Factory teams go wrong.
Might be unpopular, but i do NOT think Josh is anywhere what he is today if he landed in Cleveland or NYJ that year.... gun to my head answer? I think he fully busts out with how raw he was. We forget how much work, and support he received his first 3 years here, to refine that talent.
Do certain prospects have a higher chance at NOT busting? Sure they do, but a quick glance at these teams over the last 15 years, without a single one of their teams hitting on a QB prospect.... chances are even the best prospects would bust if taken by these teams! (IMO).

They appear to have Bosa on a snap count, preserving his elderly physique for future use in more important situations.
Filed Under: Things I think are a good idea.
Not enough of one honestly. Unless theyre letting him get some extra time first few games, with the intention of ramping it wayyyyy down.
Even so he was on the field way too late in Jets game. Dude should see a few 3rd downs in first half and then hopefully we're up enough to get him in a ballcap

Watching the Jets game again, and also thinking about his performance against the Ravens… Hawes is a baller.
The guy LOVES contact. I genuinely think he craves it. He engages the block, drives his defender backward and does not stop until after the whistle.
I can’t remember the last time i’ve seen a Bills TE who can block this well. Maybe ever?
He may make Knox disposable. Especially with his constant propensity to drop balls.
Lee Smith who can run routes? Yeah, this dude is going to be beloved here. Dude has been plug and play at a position I think most would argue is the hardest college -> pro transition too. I expect some rookie up and downs but dang, this is the type of role player that gets the juices flowing. What a fit for the offense

So basically an Edmunds 2.0? That's not exactly instilling confidence for me lol
Are you nuts? Getting even a Tremaine lite, surprise boost out of a 3rd rd LB'er at this juncture would be an 8-run HR... on rookie deal salary. Sure itd be awesome to get some amazing play outta the kid, but at this point we'd be doing really well to have him just not be in the way.

Just seen Elam is leading the league in yards allowed by CB so far this season. 232 yards.
Man, this one is such a mystery to me. Has all the traits, appeared to work hard and know how to prepare. Hes now in a defense that suits him well. But thats the draft in a nutshell

Damn I’m hoping they give tua another 200 mil extension. If we just win Thursday, I think there’s a good chance that will be Mcnerds last game. If we crush them, I think it would be all but a certainty
This reflects on the GM to be in a position where you may need to fire your HC 11 DAYS INTO THE SEASON LOL
I like Mike M, but damn this couldnt have been more clear that he'd lost the locker-room going into the end of last season. To just roll a guy out like that anyways is brutal decision making.
Its possible GM Grier wanted to move on from the HC, and the owner - Stephen Ross, said NAH I'm not paying a guy ~$16M ($4m x 4, i believe) to no longer be the coach! If so thats an even worse reflection on the franchise. Imagine blowing up an entire season over $16M ($$$ he pays one way or another).
*Hate to see it* 😆

It's been amazing watching the turn on that board from McDaniel is a genius. Best hire ever to...dear Lord let Buffalo smash us so we can get rid of this nerd...😂😂
Will 100% get roasted, HOWEVER, if Brady gets a HC job, I'm 100% bringing in McDaniels (a guy with a major chip on his shoulder) to run the offense.
The dudes brilliant, but the team has turned on him. What he lacks in leadership, he can earn in respect with our guys. Also, there are plenty of coaches and even player coaches, set up as framework where he wouldnt have the same issues here. This job would look like a trip to DisneyLand with Josh running the offense. Also, I see him as a guy recognizing his ceiling and not wanting to leave a coordinator position for HC job, allowing us some continuity.
Fangio (situation is how i picture McDaniels playing out) is a guy good enough at his job to warrant some tire kicking for HC again, but seems like a guy happy to be in the best role for him. Would absolutely love to have an offensive version of Fangio, controlling the offense and not having to sweat a new OC getting a HC job every year.

Yep that's true, but would you bet money on the chargers to win the division over KC?
I definitely wouldn't As good teams always rise in December.
I remember in 2023 the bills were down like 4 games in the division with 6 to go and they still caught Miami and won the division lol.
Good call! ... just did LOL I might regret it, because that division is going to be a dogfight. Denver is going to force some foes to split series with too

I have a hard time enjoying it while seeing the Eagles allowed to false start on every Tush Push.
The NFL better get this addressed before we play them. And better not wait until after the Eagles beat us in the playoffs (Super Bowl) to fix it like they've historically done.
We should already be scrubbing up on executing it the way they do. Hell, start executing it that way in games right away. We can get good at it ourselves.
Or
We start executing it the same Offside/false start like they do during regular season.... now you got 2 teams doing it that way. More attention on it. Maybe they'll start calling it right once the fans moaning loud enough. If not we can at least match their energy.

What I like is that this team is not playing mistake free football, but is still winning. Teams that play their best football in September generally don’t have deep runs in the playoffs. The fact that we’re missing starters on defense, and the suspensions…. It is going to leave this team in very good shape towards the end of the year…..
Hoecht IMO is going to be such a hugeeeeee add. We're missing his versatility, its going to be a key to this defense. It allows us to hide what we want to bring. Hes got juice rushing the passer, and very good in the run game (something we're going to need in playoffs so much)... Hey suspension is helping manage his load already

The entire goal of the season is the 1 seed. If they don't achieve that it's a huge hit. They are in good position now but it's way too early.
If they can play aggressive D the rest of the season like they did yesterday they can get it. The only way they will fail is if Buffalo gets complacent, reads the press clippings of how great they are...and don't take lesser teams seriously. Injuries and turnovers also play a huge role in getting upset.
1. #1 Seed
2. Rack up some blow outs to help manage guys health & get the rookies extra start time, so they can hit the ground running for playoffs.
On that 2nd note, I saw Deone Walker getting double teamed what felt like every snap he played AND hold strong against it! Dude turning into the defenses Spencer Brown would be so damn huge

Thursday night games are awful. I'm glad it's a home game against a team on the slide. Just get the job done and make good use of the mini bye.
Amen, a short rest, September game in MIA heat would suck (its night game though, so atleast we wouldnt get literally cooked).
Me thinks that locker room knows they stand no chance without a new coach, and are going to give a terrible effort. We should try and jump out 10-0 / 14-0, to cement that. Id love to get out with a W and be able to do some load management for starters

Feels like a we hate our coach game coming up.
Dudes a fish outta water there. Their GM should pack his bags too lol "We have a young coach struggling with leadership... LETS BRING IN JALEN RAMSEY!" (I know hes gone now, but that stands out symbolically to me)
I feel bad for McDaniels. Hes clearly not cut out for this role, hes a playbook/playcall kinda guy, but they really fed him to the lions with setup for failure.
Remember that one class you were in in HS, with all the ISS/Detention Magnet kids in it? And that day the really sweet soft spoken, usually lunch monitor came in as a substitute? Where they didnt give her a lesson plan? Yeah its that

It is very possible that the first and maybe only loss will be the Eagles, but it will likely be one of those odd games where we lose to a bad team in a game that we are favored and just have a bad outing. One of the Pats games, maybe. the Texans in Houston will be tough.
I was looking at this game yesterday, 2nd to last week, but what formerly wouldve been last week of the season. Its so important to lock up the 1 seed prior to that game IMO. I DO NOT want to have to play them right before playoffs, with a possible rematch, if we handle our biz this year.
Absolutely crucial to be able to sit our guys that week fully, or roll them out for a 1st quarter only "stay sharp" only kinda game. Could be even bigger if we got to rest our guys/play vanilla, while getting a chance to see their starters while they need to win a game late!!!
Thats far away, but handle our biz week to week, and this could potentially really pay off IMO

Not gunna lie it spooked me with how alarmed he looked. For a brief moment I had some kinda Hamlin moment flashback.
Anybody else?
Probably a bit tense after seeing a popular news story video on Twitter earlier this week. Good sign to spend more free time here on TBD thsn that other app this week. Especially for Victory Monday!

Well they played very little football this summer because McBeane were trying to get to opening day healthy. And that's what it looks like when a talented, vengeance-fueled opponent brings it to a team that isn't anywhere near physically prepared for that level of intensity. But late in the game they both came up with big plays recovering a fumble and stopping Zay Flowers for no gain. Unfortunately, the Bills have been the primary offseason fixation of their next two vengeful opponents as well. They don't have the luxury of easing into their schedule. That's why they were playing football at practice yesterday instead of the usual.
^^^
I said the same thing but not as well as this. Complaining Ed is out, I fully get, it sucks!!! Blaming them for a hard practice, when its football, is a bad take. I still prefer this approach to teams that let starters hit it hard in pre-season games!!!

Many were devaluing Parsons, saying “bUT He CaNt dEfeNd the RuN!” and citing his one game against the Bills, but it’s the amount of plays he disrupts that makes him such a valuable defensive piece. He would’ve been a great get for Buffalo - but I too would’ve shuddered at $47M/yr. There was no need to even go that high with the next closest edge rusher millions under that.
what will that look like in 2 years by comparison? What will the NFL salary cap look like next year? Or in 2 years?
Its been 10+ years of Fan community getting sticker price shock, anytime somebody at any position, who is top 5, signs a new deal.
1. You need a QB
2. You need to protect a QB (more than LT) // You need to disrupt passing game.
To me DE > LT, because one player can have much more effect than the other. Have a nasty LT? Pass rush LB can go to other side. Elite pass rush makes your DB's lives so much easier. DE is by far the 2nd most important position in the NFL. Salary cup is always going up. Next man up at a position is almost always going to reset the market.

Diggs' Drama

Its not just points though. Its the ease with which they do it at. It's about extending drives that dont result in points, from 2 First Downs, to 3. Reducing the times we go 3 and out. More cracks at 3rd and short than 3rd and long or medium. Having the ability to beat a team with an entire playbook.... having an entire section of a playbook left untapped when the playoffs roll around, for when you REALLY need a first down, or a drive for 3points.
We are regular season points kings, no doubt! The defense in the playoffs needs to be better, but theres more than 1 way to skin a cat. Having the defense step up and playing 10% better against KC gets it done! But getting an extra 10% outta the offense gets it done too. Sometimes leaning into a strength is better than spending extra time/effort/resources into something you're not good at. There is a reason you don't go to the urologist to clean your teeth! If you know something and do it well, its a heckuva lot more valuable to increase resources at doing that thing better.
