Cornerback.. most people would be surprised to find out has the highest rate of head injuries and concussions for any position
You could basically add neck injury to that
The speed of the game at that position.. with everything flying around.. it's a very dangerous position

I don’t think that gets it done. They got a 1&2 from Dallas (I think). We would have paid the “division tax.” It would have been 2 firsts and that STILL may not have happened.
They would have taxed the crap out of us
Generally when you trade an All pro or a pro bowler you're trying to get them out of conference

I'm not talking about the whole DL, just about how badly the Bills needed to find help at DT today.
And while I like Rousseau and Bosa, there really isn't much behind them either with Hoecht gone.
The Bills have clearly wanted that unit to be the #2 strength of their team for years and needed to do work today to maintain that effort.
Instead, they chose to do nothing about what has always been their top priority.
I hear ya Simon I wanted something to get done
But I'm also not going to believe the season is over because they didn't
I do BILLIEVE Simon... This team is better than last year in my eyes and we lost by three in the AFC championship

I'm sorry, but that is an awful rotation at arguably the most important spot on the chess board, and suggesting that Oliver is going to return from a serious injury and immediately be effective is probably nothing more than whistling past the graveyard.
This team hopefully has another dozen games to play and I don't think there's any way they can make enough plays to win enough of them with that massive, glaring problem right smack dab in the middle of the LOS.
I don't put that much relevancy in pro football focus but they said we had top 6 defensive line going into the season
We lost Oliver but you don't go from sixth to 26th.. we have a good front 4 still... We're like 8th in the NFL in sacks and it's not because coverage sacks typically
We still have the ability to have a disruptive front 4.. bosa and gregg are going to decide what happens to this team in January on defense
The defensive tackles are good enough... And they're still room to grow with gelling together.. for sure I would have liked to add one body but I don't think this means we can't win the Super bowl because we didn't

It’s a bottom line business, he missed and Mahomes was on the 40 when a pooch punt starts him inside the 15 with 5 seconds less on the clock. When you beat KC 4 times in the regular season and lose 4 times in a row in the playoffs , coaches decisions get questioned. Don’t be satisfied with losing.
Last time I checked the bills won
And the past has no relevancy on a future meeting

Walker also got put on a dolly a couple times at key moments.
And we are not anywhere near 4 deep at DT.
In fact, the only three guys we have healthy right now are Jordan Phillips, Larry Ogunjobi and an inconsistent rookie(
). And they are playing in front of an injured, ineffective LB corps(e).
I don't care about WR, but this is a real problem that could hurt this team badly.
When we have DaQuan Jones, ogunjobi , walker and Phillips that is not a bad four piece at defensive tackle
In fact that's much better than what the Chiefs have
Again there's no all pros in there but if they are healthy that is a beefy 4 pack that has different skills too
Walker isn't perfect, coming off the bench in a rotation.. with the ability to toss Creed Humphrey is certainly not a small feat
Again nothing says they're all going to be hurt.. we going to the playoffs with those four guys potentially getting Ed Oliver back that is a good defensive tackle room
The linebackers worry me a lot more than the defensive line... Our defensive line had five players over a 73 grade against the Chiefs
Might be banged up but they are playing at a good level.. Jordan Phillips was one of the few defensive players who made plays against the Chiefs in the playoffs last year
I'll take him as the number 4... He's always been a good football player here
The defensive line as a unit has been our best unit all year.. definitely not the linebackers or the secondary

I think Joe Burrow is really good.
I also have traditionally rooted for Joe Flacco.
However, with what Joe has been able to do in Cincy I have to ask...is Burrow really THAT good?
I am hoping that we get the Flacco that we played the year before when he was in Indy.
It's because Joe flacco gets rid of the ball faster than burrow even though flacco traditionally doesn't have a super quick release
Flacco also doesn't have any pressure on him.. so he could just let it rip

It wasn’t a chip shot, it was 50 yds. You keep defending this guy’s in game decisions, how has it worked so far? He didn’t make it and Mahomes had the ball with enough time
to run 4 plays from the 40.
McDermott Punts it everybody says he has no spine
He trust this kicker who has been kicking good.. and is an NFL veteran.. boneheaded mistake
Half of this board says he always plays to not lose and not to win.. guess what he played to win

Jones just had a FIVE TURNOVER game, 5! They're taking a huge gamble here because if Jones is not the guy the loss of those two 1st round picks will prove devastating. As it is even if Jones is the guy that was a very steep price to pay for a corner that hasn't looked that good over the last 2 seasons.
It's ridiculous price for a corner
I would trade two first round picks for deion Sanders.. sauce is good but that's a crazy price

Okay Bufalo76, great idea! 🙄
I'm teasing you but c'mon the bills are top of the AFC
Nobody has a head and shoulders better AFC team
I 100% believe they would beat Indianapolis

We’re down to barebones on the defensive line though. Unless Solomon, Jackson and/or Sanders show up and make some plays, sustaining another injury to the DL could sink us.
I certainly would not have been angry if he made a move on the defensive line
But compared to most of the league.. and looking what we did to mahomes
We actually do have a lot of veteran talent with some young guys
Injuries happen in the NFL... But season ending injuries still are not that common
Just because we had some guys go down early doesn't mean everybody on our D line is going down.. Chris Jones could go down tomorrow, so could Myles Garrett
We still are 4 deep at defensive tackle and good ends... Even AJ is playing well
Walker literally tossed Creed Humphrey on Sunday like he's never been... Even Jordan Phillips made plays in the playoffs last year against the Chiefs
We've invested so much in the line over the last 4 or 5 years it's going to be the best part of our defense in January barring really unfortunate circumstances
This team is better than last year and we were three points away from the Super bowl
-
I'm not going to get to high or low
We literally have young players who are still coming into their own.. we have a good mix of established veterans and up-and-coming players
People are acting like the bills are not tied for the fewest losses in the NFL.. all the talk about how terrible our offenses but we're top of the league in scoring
We just bullied the Chiefs .. and they were more healthy than us
Bills Indianapolis in the AFC championship game? Daniel Jones reverts, Josh Allen gets the monkey off his back
This bill's team is absolutely top of the AFC

This team threw more alley oops and dunked yesterday more times than they probably have in 2 years combined lol
I will say the one thing.. I love Syracuse basketball
We've had plenty of good teams over the years.. but the last couple years, especially when our back court was Buddy boeheim and Joe Girard there was good shooting ability but not much in the athleticism department
We got some dogs back there.. Nate kingz and Naithan George are good , Donnie Freeman , JJ starling coming back... Kiyan dropped 15.. this team has explosiveness and has not had in a while

Theres a brand new one in OP that I'm sure the Bills would love to have them play at.
considering it's on natural grass and it gets beat up easier they're not having UB play on it often
The Ralph has been hosting sectional playoff games for decades and I don't even know if they will do that anymore cuz it takes place in late October.. where they play like six high school championship games there
The new stadium with real grass can't handle that

Well sure, achilles tears are just one of many connective tissue injuries NFL players can endure.
No I don't mean they're Achilles didn't pop lol
I agree with you that peds put stress on your ligaments and tendons that they didn't see back in the day
I'm saying I know people who went to the NFL that used peds but they never popped positive on a drug test because they knew how to get around it

The majority of known MLB juicers have denied or deflected to this day. That doesn't make them innocent. If you know professional athletes, especially in more violent sports, then you know many of them have or will utilize banned substances at some point in their careers.
I especially don't love combat athletes as evidence for how other leagues and athletes operate. Notoriously corruptible young meatheads and governing authorities.
Well that's my point I know ped users who have made it to the NFL
They don't all pop positive either.. they know how to get around testing... The cycles are timed

Most of this reads exactly like propaganda for the league AND the players, especially the textbook plausible deniability defense of blaming a trainer's negligence. Like these insane, very wealthy gym rats are just taking whatever they're "given" by well paid trainers without understanding potential risk/exposure. There would be litigation galore, wouldn't there? Prior to an initial positive result, players can push the envelope with respect to offseason regimens and testing schedules, no? Sometimes they push it too far and run into bad luck with respect to testing dates. But I don't think many of them unknowingly take "supplements" tainted enough to result in 6-game suspensions. Or if they did, then we'd hear more about that.
Considering most MMA fighters and boxers and athletes who pop say they all were given tainted supplements I'd say I do hear a lot about that regarding drug use
Very few come clean and just admit to being steroid users
there's always that ex athlete who says tons of people in the league are on performance enhancing drugs... The Mitchell report in baseball back in the day had tons of baseball players names on it
And I'm sure a lot of football players were using too

Donors usually foot the bill for big chunks of that stuff. They pay, you get, but yes you are right the stadium and facilities in general are a problem for growth of the programs.
They literally have a brand new Field House that is top the line for Mac standards
Their football budget is always towards the top of the Mac
They just don't have the stadium but that's because nobody wants to pay for it.. like including the school
UB consistently has players at the top of the award lists for the Mac and all Mac teams so they don't struggle recruiting compared to other teams
They struggle keeping coaches

Couldn’t see the opener with this YouTube TV/espn spat. Looks like Kyle looked great.
hopefully JJ isn’t out too long.
I know it's just the opening game against scrubs but we really haven't looked at sharp in a while
I thought before the season if they gel they could be a tournament team and there is a lot of talent

There was a Bills player (not regarded as particularly cerebral) who being interviewed by Dunne about a concussion which left him lying on the field initially unable to move. Dunne asked if he thought about retiring. He said "no". "Why not? Why take that risk?" The player asked Dunne if he'd had a concussion. Dunne said , "actually not too long ago, playing basketball in a rec league". Player said "You took the risk of a concussion for a game you played for free. I'm taking the risk for over a million dollars to set up my kids and my family for life." Dunne pretty much had nothing to respond to that.
Exactly
Every man knows the risks on that field.. nobody walks away from football with a perfect body
It's a game.. even though it's a very violent game.. but it's a privilege to play that sport for millions of dollars in front of millions of people around America
It's a privilege not a right

I don't think conventional stretching is as simply/directly correlated with injury prevention as many believe. These guys stretch. But one of the biggest issues is that they consistently overdevelop many muscle groups (often with the help of PEDs which can be actively deleterious to ligaments and tendons) without commensurately emphasizing stability and connective tissue strength.
That's an issue that is true but the NFL prides itself on its strict drug testing whether you want to believe them or not
I know our dude is coming back from popping positive but he even said it was not from long-term steroid abuse that he actively was doing
But that he stopped checking up with all the supplements his trainer was giving him to make sure they were NFL legal and obviously some was tainted
But he doesn't seem like a perennial ped popper like Brian Cushing
But yes those types of drugs that increases muscle mass doesn't increase your tendons or ligament strength and that's major reason why they are blowing out nowadays

2025 Edition Trade Deadline Deals

Absolutely
Like I said I do believe in our defensive tackle rotation and its ability to grow but there could be guys available for a third fourth or a fifth .. or a combination
Obviously years remaining on their contract and the cap hit means something but they could have got a pure run stuffer if they were looking
