  1. Hope everyone’s enjoying their Saturday night! I’m sure some of you are watching this LSU-Georgia game as well. Not particularly close so far, but two very talented teams loaded with NFL prospects and I can’t help but imagine a few of them in Bills jerseys. Give me any of Justin Jefferson (WR-LSU #2), Clyde Edwards-Helaire (RB-LSU #22) and Rashard Lawrence (DT-LSU #90) and I will be very happy on draft night. Jefferson looks so athletic, separates easily, and has huge YAC ability. Edwards-Helaire is so impressive as a receiver out of the backfield and runs with the power of a back who weighs 20-30 more lbs than he does. And Lawrence is so strong against the run and has a endless motor. Know it’s a bit early for draft threads, but it’s fun to think about how this team could get even better in the coming months. Anyone else jumping off the screen for you guys that might be a fit for our Bills? Cheers!
  2. My initial reaction was to be disappointed that we didn’t get a shot at signing this kid in FA. However, think his play has plateaued a bit to the point where he is certainly not worth that money (especially from a playmaking standpoint as another poster mentioned above). Very happy with Edmunds and Milano. Let’s draft 1-2 more and also see what we have in Vosean next year
  3. Agree 100%. Think any reasonable person could have seen this coming which says a lot about the Jets former front office. Regardless of what side of the 'pay vs don't pay RBs' debate you are on, shelling out big bucks for Bell never made sense behind that terrible O-line. Going back to the offseason, the top two Centers available were Morse and Matt Paradis (in some order) and most people expected one of them to sign with the Jets given their huge need and cap space. Not sure how Paradis has played in Carolina, but Morse (although slightly overpaid) has been a massive upgrade over Groy who is out of the league. Our front office has their priorities straight and let's hope our division rivals don't learn their lessons. Go Bills, excited for this game tomorrow!
  4. More optimism from the local and national reporters...Jay Skurski (Buffalo News) picked us to win 24-21 this morning. https://buffalonews.com/2019/12/05/buffalo-bills-nfl-scouting-report-devin-singletary-baltimore-ravens-skurski-analysis-news-2019/ A few thoughts: 1) A lot has been said this week about defenses not having 'cracked the code' on the Ravens' offense yet. Baltimore has played a tough schedule, but I'd argue that no team has the combination of an elite secondary, strong defensive coaching, and versatile/athletic LBs like Edmunds and Milano like our Bills do. Edmunds, with his speed and length, could be a great equalizer if he brings his A game and both LBs have the ability to cover the multiple TE looks that the Ravens depend on. I'd like to see us play 5 down lineman (Hughes-Oliver-Star-Phillips-Lawson with Lorax rotating in on passing downs) and bring Poyer down into the box to help vs the run. Fade Hyde towards Hollywood Brown's side of the field to protect against double moves and possibly give Siran Neal more snaps at slot given his strength vs the run. 2) Baltimore's weakness on defense is runs off tackle. Seems like a good week to bring back the jet sweeps/misdirection plays and force their guys to make plays in space. The more touches for Singletary and to some degree McKenzie/Foster in the run game, the better for this match up. 3) If there was ever a game where Roberts was going to break one...we're due! Happy Friday and Go Bills!
  5. Pete Prisco of all people is picking us as the upset special this week...predicts that both QBs will play well and the Bills win 21-20. https://www.cbssports.com/nfl/news/pete-priscos-nfl-week-14-picks-bears-upset-cowboys-bills-end-ravens-winning-streak/ Have to say that if we hold the Ravens to just 20 points, we have a great chance to win this game and solidify that playoff spot!
  6. @whatdrought Not only do you have one of the best avatars on this board but I find myself nodding along with 99% of your posts. No different here, like the idea of a WR in the first (or edge rusher if the value is there) but unsure about Shenault. PAC-12 is kind of a soft conference in terms of good pass defenses as far as I can tell and I believe he has also been very injury prone. We spoke about Henry Ruggs III last week...I’m probably behind on this but have you seen his chase down and tackle on INT Vs Tennessee back in October? Well I’m officially on board, I’d even be open to trading up into the high teens to get him if we have to. Harris is our ideal complement to Motor, would grab him in the third probably (but worried he could go higher after the combine). Another poster recommended signing Derrick Henry earlier in this thread, but Harris probably has his ceiling, is a better receiving option out of the gate, and would be a heck of a lot cheaper. Here’s the play by Ruggs I mentioned. Anyone who hasn’t seen this yet, skip to 1:24 and prepare to be shocked. Won’t show up on the stat sheet but I had to rewatch this 7-8 times and I genuinely don’t know if I’ve ever seen anyone move this fast on a football field before. Was previously in favor of adding a bigger/taller WR to our group but speed kills and why not add to our group of Smurfs? Go Bills!
  7. This hasn’t been talked about enough! Would love to see Thompson in a Bills uniform. Has been misused as you pointed out so potential buy low value most likely!
  8. Also this...never forget I bet this dude can’t even stand up on a horse either...
  9. Legitimately believe that Baltimore, Seattle, Green Bay, Dallas, and Kansas City are the only teams that wouldn't make that trade (considering that the Pats, Saints, etc. who have great QBs that are older would make this trade for the future). Potential counts for a lot in this league and now that he has improved his accuracy so much, he's matching his insane physical traits and intangibles with production.
  10. Need to get that 10th win first but as you pointed out, our away record bodes very well for a potential playoff run...KC and Houston are looking vulnerable after we manhandled the Cowboys' #1 offense and a legit MVP candidate in Dak. REALLY wouldn't mind it if the Titans stayed hot and won that division either...a playoff game in Nashville might as well be a home game in Buffalo. Imagine the legions of BillsMafia that would travel to see us get some revenge/closure for the Music City Miracle (Robbery). ?
  11. This! As mentioned above, Dallas still had some momentum after we wasted the Star INT and our kicking woes. Absolutely game-changing play by our #1 pick which gave us the momentum and confidence for the rest of the game. Dallas never recovered...suddenly their O-line didn't seem so impossible to beat and our defense played lights out after that. Had to remind myself this wasn't all a dream this morning...go Bills!
  12. Allen Cole Singletary Star Oliver Milano White Coaching staff And sleeper pick...Kevin Johnson!! How many times did we hear Gallup’s name? Twice?
  13. His strip sack was a huge turning point in the game and looked like a classic Aaron Donald pass rush sequence. He was heating up last week, now he’s ON FIRE (*NBA JAM VOICE*)
  14. If we play fearless the way we have the past 3 weeks, we can beat anyone in this league. That might actually be the truth for the first time in what...20 years??? Enjoy it guys, best thanksgiving in a long time!
  15. Honest question...do other teams have a guy like this who can’t buy a holding call? Or is it just Hughes? The amount of my life I’ve spent yelling “Holding” at the TV while Hughes is being mangled unnoticed...smh
  16. Wow this is a shocking halftime show. Much prefer the stress of this Bills game haha
  17. Great pass breakup by K Johnson. Hyde needs to not be hurt. Finally got some pressure on Dak there
  18. All those posts this week about the refs making up for screwing the Cowboys last week...dead on so far
  19. Anyone else still teary-eyed from that Jim Kelly intro? That guy, what a legend
  20. Happy Thanksgiving from Belfast, Northern Ireland to all my fellow Yanks back home! Can’t wait to get back to Buffalo in a few weeks for Xmas and the Jets game on 12/29! Jeff Heath being out along with Woods and Vander Esch is big for us...the middle of that defense should have some gaps to run through and fingers crossed for a few blown coverages as well! Go Bills!
