When the Bills played the Ravens earlier in the year, Samuel was injured and was certainly unable to fill this role then, however, now that he seems to be fully healthy could this be the best way for him to contribute to this week's game?? How much would having someone fast enough to simulate the speed and shiftiness of Lamar help the Defense prepare??
I believe McKenzie was scout team Lamar a few years ago when the Bills beat the Ravens in the playoffs, so there might be some credence to this strategy.
Thoughts??
I think it’s funny that “the best way for him to contribute for this weeks game” is to be on the scout team when he led the team in yards last week

Aaron Rodgers hated his offense at the end and kept complaining that it was totally predictable and basic. He would not be a forward-thinking, inspired hire.Aaron Rodgers also loves Nathaniel Hackett as an offensive coordinator, who has not built many successful offenses.

They are. But you won’t hear about that from any of the “pundits” this week.
To be fair, there is/was a lot of great offensive lines in the playoffs this year. It depends on where you look to an extent, but one source had the eagles, ravens, Commanders, Packers, broncos, and Bucs all graded higher than the bills. Lions and the Chiefs were right behind the Bills. Another source had bills at 4th with Broncos, Ravens, bucs graded higher, and the chiefs and lions right behind the bills.

Vrabel in some sense is like McDermott. He has struggled to get his team over the top...Always solid and very good in the regular season...they could beat any team..but then always choked in the playoffs (2-3 record)
Getting the 1 seed with Ryan Tannehill is pretty damn impressive if you ask me. Even with Derrick Henry, that’s a taller ask than having Josh Allen IMO.

Well obviously playing for over 20 years and being one of the best players ever....you're going to break the usual longevity records (scoring, minutes played, etc.).
But LeBron is certainly NOT a guy who showed up every day---you're joking now right? Had Jordan dogged as many games as James, he could have played 20 years and own every record.
Bulls were "stacked with talent?? Those were roll players that he made into champions. HE didn't demand to be traded to all star teams.
Nobody can claim James is the killer that Jordan was. I'd rather have a QB (Allen) who is like that....not a guy looking to pad his trophy case, mess with coaches, owners and rosters to please him while he takes off late winter. He is a perfect example of how the NBA has changed to the point that viewers are tuning out in droves. He has taken over the league and it's popularity has suffered.
Had James stayed in CLeveland (1.0) and elevated those roll players to AllStar status and won 6 rings, then we could have a meaningful discussion of who was the greatest. But that couldn't happen with James.
He's a legendary whiner, by the way. If you followed the league at all the past 20 years you would already know this.
Roll players??? That’s a laughable take. Dennis Rodman was the best rebounder in NBA history, by a wide margin. That’s not something Jordan did. There have been analytics articles that have claimed Rodman was the “MVP” of the league some seasons, based on a statistical analysis of what stats correlate to winning (offensive rebounds was a big one). He was a 2x Dpoy. Scottie Pippen was a 7x all star and led the league in steals one year. Those aren’t role players by any means.

With this defense, it only takes one bad game on offense to get knocked out, and the odds that we’ll have 1 bad game out of 4 playoff games is much higher than 50%.

What’s up with everyone thinking we lose to the Lions?
Ill take Allen over Goff any day of the week.
I do admit that the Lions OC is a savant and they have many weapons, but I won’t be shocked at all if McD limits them quite effectively.
Im more worried about the 49ers. They are desperate.
With our run defense, Montgomery and Gibbs scare me. It would not surprise me if they ran for close to 200 yards against us.

Hall had more total yards last season than Cook, and is outpacing him this season on a per-game basis. First impressions also matter and Hall was extremely dynamic before the injury his rookie season, averaging 98 total yards per game and ripping off 5.8 yards per carry as a lead back. Cook started off as a second string back and had a lighter workload, so it makes sense that he’s viewed in a better light like that.

We can conclude Coleman is an upgrade now. Even if he proves not to be consistent, that is no different than Davis (as you mention) and if Coleman is inconsequential in the playoffs, that is also not different than Davis. And given he is already showing a much higher ceiling, we can safely say he is an upgrade. (I was not a Davis hater, nor a Coleman lover as a pick, but the eye test is pretty stark at this point)
Gabe Davis being inconsequential in the playoffs is a pretty wild take IMO. The 13 seconds game he set the record for most TDs by a Wr in a playoff game, and had the 9th most yards all time. Outside of that game he was significantly less effective, but he averaged almost 70 yards and nearly a TD per game. He also made a lot of difficult catches in the playoffs, I distinctly remember a couple of great toe drag catches against Indy in the playoffs.

1. Steelers being up 3 games on the Bengals. Not surprised that the Steelers defense is at the top of the league, but I am surprised their offense has produced enough to be undefeated so far.
2. Vikings being 3-0. Sam Darnold at QB and a tough schedule so far. Enough said.
3. Washington beating the Giants 21-18 with the Giants getting 3 TDs and the commanders getting 7 FG. Not the way you’d expect to see that score.
4. Jayden Daniels with a 80.3% completion percentage, topping the league. Any player with an 80%+ completion rate is shocking, but it being a rookie is even more so.

Brock Purdy helped lead SF to a Super Bowl in his 2nd season. He threw for 4200 yards and had 31 TD passes.
He deserves to be right where he is.
To be fair, last year he had: the best Rb in the league (not really even a debate, 300 more rushing yards than anybody else, 2nd in receiving, only off by 30 yards), the best TE in the league (though Kelce was close), and the ~3rd best Wr Duo in the league. The Wr is more of a debate, I put the dolphins and eagles ahead, but the Vikings, Bucs and maybe others have an argument there for sure. Regardless, it’s still a high end unit and the 49ers definitely have the best group of skill positions on offense in the game right now. Jimmy garrapolo had virtually identical stats in 2019 without having CMC or Aiyuk on the team, but he’s definitely not a “can carry his team” type of player.

Yep. To me the trade and contract looked like it was simply a case of an owner throwing a tantrum and demanding that he get his new, shiny toy (aka FQB). In response to a question about it Haslam has even said that he was sick of "being in QB purgatory".
Barring another big off the field incident Watson will be a Brown through at least next season. That's because his guarantees would void. The earliest that they can
realistically move on from him is after 2025. At that point the Browns could take the lion's share of his salary and cap hit for his last season under contract (2026) and dump him for a throwaway pick. He's obviously got this year and probably next to prove he is worth a but contract though.
I’d be a little surprised if other teams would want the baggage Watson Carrie’s if they’re not getting a star QB. Signing him near vet minimum? Maybe. Trading for him? probably not.

Yep and all of these names were in the "run first era" you look at the carries these guys had compared to cooks... big difference... 60-100 more caries between the 2 years for each of those players accept Fred.
To be fair, aside from Thurman Thomas, none of them had a Qb in the same ballpark to play with as Josh Allen. They’d face a lot more stacked boxes than Cook.

People said the same thing about Andy Reid in Philadelphia LOL and he's not a different coach
Sometimes it takes years and years to build the team... Andy Reid has had 11 years building his team in Kansas City.. Sean McDermott has had 7 years
Andy Reid went to a franchise that was actually good in the 5 or 10 years prior at points.. McDermott took over a team that won 17 years with no postseason
Worst drought in sports
Patrick mahomes worst record against any franchise is the Buffalo Bills
We certainly can beat them anytime any day it just hasn't felt that way.. like wide right or 13 seconds
We're not far away from beating them and we absolutely can win super bowls
By the end of his 7th year, Reid had already won a Super Bowl, and the year before was 1 play away from beating the Pats to make the Super Bowl. By comparison, McDermott has made 1 conference championship, in which the team was down 38-15 in the fourth quarter. Through his first 7 years, Reid had 2 seasons of elite QB play, while McDermott has had 4.

I don’t think we’d get any more than a 6th for Clapp, as a depth (6-7) offensive lineman on most teams. We already have plenty of mid-late draft picks(with expected comp picks we have 3 4ths, 5th and 2 6ths), so trading our key depth for another doesn’t make sense. Clapp has played center and guard, and if any of our 3 starting interior lineman get hurt, he probably slots in the lineup (either at guard, or shifting McGovern to guard and taking over at center). We got lucky last year with a healthy oline, but shouldn’t count on it again this year. Quality Oline depth is more important than an 11th draft pick with little trade up value.

As a Bills supporter, I am hoping that the Bears have the worst season possible in 2024 and the Bills get the first pick in the fourth round of the draft next year.
2nd worst season, ideally the Vikings are worse.

I think it all comes down to $$$$. Cap is 250mil. Say 45m for QB, 35m for elite wr, 30m for edge and 30m for left tackle. 140m for 4 positions. 110m left over. College football is loaded with all kinds of receivers. I lean towards Green Bays approach. Draft a couple each year and unless you have an outright superstar stud, just churn thru them. An elite QB will find them. They have one in Allen. Great topic Shaw. Can't wait to see how Allen/Brady respond this season. Seems like all the talking heads have the Bills imploding, maybe it's justified. I don't think so but I am a diehard, psychotic Bills fan. First live game I attended was oj's rookie year at the rockpile.
Except 0 LTs in the NFL make 30 million, the most expensive is at 25, and only 5 make 20 or more. There’s 1 DE that makes 30 or more, and only 12 that break 20. Wr is closer, 3 make 30+, and 18 make 20 or more. No team is spending anywhere near that kinda money on 4 players.

I think he was. If not, why did you wait for guarantees to kick in?
I can only imagine that something happened in the offseason that either hit critical mass or exacerbated the fault lines.
Now, long term, the team might see benefit: they were already over the salary cap for 2025 and likely got a top 45 pick
But this is going to hurt short term
Could have been a difference in return, maybe we wouldn’t have gotten much at all if we traded beforehand, and Beane preferred getting a second.

I bet that is why they never reveal the rules for the picks. It allows them to mess around with them and leak some crap like playing time matters. They ought to dish out the picks biased purely on record. Worst team gets the best pick. Every team over 500 nothing.
Isn’t that just how the draft works already? Why even do Comp picks at that point.

Not one RB drafted or undrafted FA signed

That’s a pretty wild take honestly, Thurman Thomas won league MVP while Cook is not even a top 3 Rb IMO.
