My guess is Beane gives Bosa a number we can work with and lets him look around with the door open to a return. Then depending on what's out there he'll make a decision. If a bottom dweller offers him 25mil a year and the Bills offer 15mil; you can't be entirely blind to the money or the situation you would be in.

Strangest injury I’ve personally witnessed was a kid on the opposing team to my little league baseball team. We were in the All-Star game and in what appeared to be an attempt to show off, dove at line drive redirected the ball off his head and got a concussion and a mean goose egg. Mind you, it was a ball hit straight to him. Another story I have is of an almost dire injury. Fred Jackson lived across from house while he played here and his wife divulged at the block party that he almost missed a game due to cut caused by trying to jam down trash in a bag and a can cutting his palm bad. It was prior to one of those snowed in games we had with him; so we were all snowed in. So Fred called the Bills, told them what happened and that he couldn’t escape his house by car/truck and the snow was still falling at a good pace meaning plows weren’t coming anytime soon. So the Bills got inventive apparently, scrounged up two larger snowmobiles that could fit 2 people on them and proceeded to pick up Fred, and take him to an open Urgent Care or something like that for a Tetnis shot and stitches. That Saturday to reach the airport, the Bills actually sent out snowmobiles to multiple houses to pick up players that were snowed in. I actually remember seeing the tracks and hearing them leave.

Effectively we have two issues; player deficiencies and less than 2 mil in cap space to play with. You are likely looking at giving at least a 2nd for a player because you’d need to send Samuel the other way.

Josh’s problem is a combination of play calling, personnel and his own game being conditioned in a negative way. Josh has regressed in footwork and patience since about Week 3 where early signs began to show. How I see it is that Allen isn’t trusting his receivers to get open on their initial route. He was burned too much in the first few weeks and has only got more skeptical of his guys finding a hole. He has two starters he likes in Shakir and Kinkaid. Coleman fails to catch over the shoulder catches and it seems like far too often our guys are blanketed. Allen as such hesitates because he doesn’t trust his guy will get to the spot and/or bails out of the pocket hoping to create a broken coverage by brute force. He had to do that as a rookie when he lacked enough legitimate targets and again he’s using that playbook. Jackson Hawes has been a favorite extra target for him as he gets open often since he’s the blocking TE and gets broken coverages at a high frequency.

I don't see a realistic opening at all until after Allen has already been lasso'd by his shirt. Until 2 has got to Kinkaid's depth, Moore is still in a borderline unreachable spot without high risk for interception.

Allen’s play seems to be caused by the lack of openings are making him regress and lose his footwork

It seemed like we snapped it before he threw the flag, I want that checked

I’d trade a 2nd for him but I fear he’s bad due to being a headcase versus something fixable.

I remember prior to the Saints game Eric Wood said something that stuck with me since. He said the Bills defenders, on average pull off more turnovers because they are actively coached to do so. While this year we haven’t seen it happen as much as per usual; it certainly could be a cause for the tackling issues we have. Angles for strip tackles differ from sound tackle angles.

My guess is Hairston plays in a rotation with White to prep him for KC where he’ll need to likely just run with Worthy all day. Poyer and Bishop on the back end with Hancock in reserve.

We will make a trade this week; Beane has many flaws but one he doesn't have is an unwillingness to make moves in season

The tush push might, but QB sneaks certainly won't. Just get the 1st; tush push until its banned

Everyone Eats when everyone comes to the table hungry. Everyone Eats fails when everyone already had snacks prior and only 1 or 2 are somewhat hungry. The food gets left at the buffet and Allen has to try and throw go-home bags of leftovers at the uninterested crowd. The perfect scenario would be a WR1 who has a similar persona as Allen, in that he puts team success over his own personal accolades. He may not put up 100 yard games with 15 targets weekly but will certainly be there when needed. Allen plays better when he can throw to anyone but still needs someone who can at least give him an outside option anytime he needs one. Shakir can be his Beasley but he needs a new less ego filled Diggs.

The OP was right though about Allen; he looks like a guy trying to press for results. Dahlin seems to have the same internal issue that causes mistakes to be made. A desire to win so great that you lose composure and/or effectiveness and start making mistakes due to it. For instance, I think part of his reason for bailing from the pocket lately is less due to the the OL struggling at times but more Allen trying to generate a combination of time and a change of angle. If his players can't get open he's desperate to brute force them open because they rarely strategize guys open. Without Palmer and Kinkaid, suddenly Shakir becomes the only serious threat to beat man coverage. The play prior to the game ending interception was a masterful run commanding Shakir from the front like a General. My guess is his throw was meant to either be a high ball for Coleman or he was tossing it through the endzone to avoid any chance of intentional grounding. Problem was a guy got their hand on it and made for an easy pick. Completely bewildered by Coleman's regression of late; he played great against Baltimore and even made some great catches against NYJ and Miami. But these past two or three games have been horrid.
