  1. Shakir and Coleman are good fits for this offense. Shakir is never going to be a dominating WR but he is good at the quick passes and YAC. Coleman is not consistent at creating initial separation but is good at scramble drill which helps hero mode Josh. Palmer is average as can be….I would not call it a good WR corp. Due to Josh, we may be able to make it work this year. Hope we draft a few players for him next year.

    Yep. 

     

    They have been better coached and better schemed but they also just have better players who execute their assignments better. 

     

    The Bills have the worst outside receivers and the worst starting safeties among any team that is a realistic competitor.


    paying Josh Palmer, Curtis Samuel and Elijah Moore nearly $20 million combined this year for basically nothing tonight….thats why you draft WRs early so you don’t have to overpay for scrubs. $20 million would have signed a good safety this offseason.

  3. The Chiefs certainly are not done after week 1 but their are certainly a lot of things to be excited for as a Chiefs hater

     

    1. The Chiefs now have to deal with two HOF coaches and Harbaugh who have had success at the NFL level. From 2020 to 2024, the Chiefs had lost 4 non-final week of the season divisional games. They already have one loss this year.
     

    2. Though I believe the Chiefs have done an admirable job of at least trying to add receiving talent via the draft, none of them will seem to help these next few weeks. Worthy may be done for awhile, Rice is out another 5 weeks, Skyy Moore they traded before the season, Jalen Royals was a healthy scratch. The Chiefs could get away with a bad receiving corp for so many year because Kelce was their top receiver. Prime Kelce is gone though so they don’t have someone to bail them out on offense.

     

    3. The defense that anchored the team the last 3 years did not look good vs the pass. They still looked good against the run. But for a team that has averaged less than 23 points on offense (also seen this last game) per game since 2023, that should be a big issue. Especially when they have the 11th hardest projected strength of schedule.

     

    Go Bills!

    AP interviewed Thurman Thomas regarding the RB position becoming devalued in today's NFL...as usual, Thurman always has interesting thoughts.

    Also, an interesting tidbit on Cook and his holdout...from what it said in the article, this is part of a larger plan amongst the RB's to start driving the position's value back up, as they talked about a text chain among the RB's talking about this, and Cook seemingly held out in relation to this goal in mind.  Not sure if this angle was covered or not while it was going on, but essentially it seems like Cook is part of a larger ploy at work by the RB's to force teams to start paying them better.


    It’s not really new. They started on this a few years ago.

    It does feel like it's going to be that kind of game, doesn't it? I don't see this defense stopping Henry and Jackson--except via turnovers, a big exception--and I'm confident that even the Ravens defense will have trouble with Allen and Cook. But the relative difference between the units is lopsided. 

     

    To put it another way, Allen/Cook > Jackson/Henry, but Ravens D > Bills D. 

    To put it still another way, the Bills O would absolutely destroy, shred, mutilate the Bills D, while the Ravens will merely destroy it. 😕


    The ravens are more talented overall, but they were more talented than the Chiefs last year and lost week 1. Jackson and Harbaugh are 0-2 in week 1 road primetime games. The Bills have lost one home week 1 game with McDermott/Josh (non-primetime). Week 1 of the last year of Highmark and being a night game should give a nice edge for the Bills which is why they are favored by Vegas in the game.

  6. Pretty inconsequential 

     

    it’s very rare for an MVP to go back to back so that probably factored into the people that wrote in the article not listing Josh

     

    McDermott would probably have to go 17-0 to get coach of the year since the Bills have been a perennial contender and have Josh Allen

     

    Dawkins is probably the biggest snub but feels like the at is mostly just a name award and Dawkins probably isn’t as big a name as most on that list.

    Daequan Hardy didn't do anything this preseason to make me think he be on the PS squad over somebody else.

     

    Everyone else lines up well enough. Latu over Davidson is a little surprising I guess, but Davidson looked rough in the passing game.


    No KJ Hamler, feel for the guy. I wonder if he'll end up somewhere else.


    I remember Hardy getting injured in the first game, he may have not been 100% the rest of the time. He showed a bit last year that people were happy he made that practice squad.

     

    I think Davidson and Hamler got passed over for other vets like Phillips, the Guards, Dane, Franklin and Po since you can only have 6 on a PS I believe

    Glad he made it, he earned it over Moore. I wonder if we are going to keep 6 WRs though, hasn't been this regime's MO but maybe they decide Moore is a better player than like Chase Lundt.


    With Shakir and Samuel being injured for so long, I think Moore makes it. Sounds like Grable to IR so Lundt probably makes it too

    Only one draft pick released so far. 

    Curious to see if Lundt makes it to the final 53. Anyone know how much he did or didnt play in Tampa game? 


    I believe he played the entire game at LT. My guess is he makes the roster since Grable and Anderson hasnt practiced in weeks.

    I’m confused…..we resigned Epenesa. Douglas gave us a good season and Singletary was our primary RB for 4 seasons…..how were those wasted picks?


    They aren’t wasted, they just aren’t difference makers. AJ has played in like 12 playoff games and hasn’t gotten a sack lol

    We’re not allowed to question the amazing Brandon Beane, he drafted Josh Allen when the WGR guys said not to, so he gets a free pass on every decision he makes remember?
     

    We don’t need WRs fellas, we’ve got to draft multiple average D lineman every year for our amazing D that shows up every playoff against KC…No need to find a few playmakers who can develop cheap with Josh and maybe get some separation and make a clutch catch in crunch time. We trust you Beane 🙄


    Thankfully we signed Cook long term. Otherwise we likely would have drafted another running back in the top 4 round with a sub 5 RAS this upcoming year
