40 tackles. It’s hard to accurately guesstimate numbers when switching schemes and supporting casts. I get stuck watching the Pats game a lot and I’m confident that Flowers is much better than Murphy/Lawson. I take the better player and expect his stats to follow suit when being put into a better situation. I read a good article back during camp comparing Flowers and Hunter from the Vikings. Similar careers so far though Flowers hasn’t been afforded the opportunity of playing with another pass rusher. Hunter got 5/72 with 40 million guaranteed. No small commitment, you sign Flowers you need to expect his numbers to grow. DE is one of the few positions I’d overpay for. With Allen on his rookie deal and the abundance of dead money coming off the books this signing would make sense. They could then use the draft picks on a few blue chip offensive guys. The Bills have spent some good resources on building a defense, another pass rusher would make it next level. I’m not picking on Lawson/Murphy. Murphy’s health is the concern and even with Lawson’s improvements the Bills aren’t in position where they have to settle on a serviceable player. I’d be open to keeping a guy like Lawson as depth if he comes on a reasonable deal, I value him more than Murphy.

4 sacks and 17 tackles from a guy that is in and out of the trainers room as much as anyone. “Common sense” says bail on that player and be thankful that the cap hit is minimal. Don’t double down on a dissapointing signing, admit a mistake and move on. As Gunner said above, now would be a great time to get younger at DE and get a stud in place behind Hughes. This won’t be popular here but if I’m in charge I’m paying Trey Flowers big money, he is worth it and is just 25. Then I’d still be able to use the most valuable picks on the other side of the ball. Other options are Frank Clark, take a flyer on Fowler etc. I’m not heading into the 19’ season with one legit rusher. The Bills are in position for a big turn around next season and have plenty of flexibility in FA and in the draft. Their hands aren’t tied and staying the course at DE is a fail. You can disagree without being snarky.

The hit is 3.5? The difference is 5 million to keep him? I’d rather keep the 5 million and put it towards a more reliable player. They could also use it on a situational pass rusher if they plan on keeping Lawson. Trent has done nothing this season and his body looks like it’s toast.

Two DEs that can’t rush the passer aren’t worth much. Murphy isn’t moving well at all and bringing him back at 8.5? is an unnessecary gamble. Go back into FA and spin the wheel again.

I can’t speak for others but they do give me a complex. The Bills always come up small so I compensate by loving on heavy hotties. Life is all about balance.

I usually hate high horse posters but the crying about refs is getting ridiculous. It’s not just Bills fans it’s fans all around the league. Look at the Bills. Do they lead the league in penalties or are they close? Do you think every group of refs is just out to punish the Bills and the Pegulas? If Charles Clay didn’t resemble a zombie from the Walking Dead the Bills would have won the game. The league should make make some decisions to reduce the amount of penalties called but I haven’t seen a fail Mary, tuck rule type of call in awhile. The Steelers lost their mind about a false start, It was a bad call but is that what lost them their game? Or was it because Ben lobbed an interception in the redzone and then special teams allowed a returned punt for a TD. Play the game quit bitching, players included.

Didn’t Lamar get concussed yesterday?

Benjamin ate the process.

It was only half a punch.

I just don’t think the Oline deserves any blame for today. A competent group of pass catchers would have made the difference today. Josh had time and displayed patience. He ran when the play broke down. I will rewatch tomm in a sober frame of mind but i’m giving Josh an A for today.

I’m hammered but I can recall serveral ocassions where JA was bouncing up and down inside the pocket waiting for a WR to open up and then deciding it was best to run. When the Bills get better WRs he will be a nightmare.

I felt like he had plenty of time on the majority of snaps. Maybe I’m wrong, it won’t be the first time. I was thinking he would really benefit from a legit WR core.

It’s like a thank you card and a f U card all in one for Sir Charles. Keep sucking 85.

I actually think making that fat ***** run and earn his money is the best the team can do.

I love you Jerry.

I’m just here to say ***** Charles Clay. I know that will get edited, I hope the stars are in caps.

So true. “Shove some lettuce in their once in awhile” - Bill Burr

I was expecting a fountain of youth joke. ?

I think Jackson is out for Carolina, he is their only good corner and he pulled his quad last week. I don’t think you can go wrong with either QB in this game. Cam is a bit safer but Jameis is the one with a higher ceiling in this game to get 28+ in my opinion. Panthers have a run game that COULD limit Netwon’s numbers.

He was in a drunken fight back in June.

The NFL is overreacting. The fans are all just being dramatic. The Chiefs made a mistake! Maybe find a link which contains a mirror, post it and then proceed to look into it.

Thanks for sharing. That’s an awesome thing to do.

Hunt was in a drunken fight back in June. I don’t think Hill had two incidcents.

Doug Williams thinks it’s small potatoes.

Oh boy. I’m the one that provided his snap counts from each individual game. That’s not even what we are talking about. You have said 4 or 5 times they don’t play the same position. Either your lying or you aren’t reading what’s being written. Urlacher himself agreed with the comparisons that LVE was getting as he was leaving Boise st. Have a good weekend John.
