BBFS dictates that the Bills must be cutting better players in favor of worse ones.

Be concerned... very concerned. Even OLs they had hoped to develop on the ps are now gone. It’s a good thing they kept Ducasse around.

I understand the reason. Neither QB is good enough right now.

I’m guessing their 21st spot in line for the waiver claims might have affected the outcome somewhat. We’ll probably find out at some point .

It’s a fair question. I had wondered what AJ ‘s potential was and have to say I expected him to win the job and be the opening day starter. After that, who knows ? While injury didn’t help, he failed to impress. My overall expectations weren’t very high once it was clear the Bills weren’t getting a Bradford type to start the season while a rookie was being groomed. I don’t think Peterman is anything more than a career backup, so overall my hopes have only been downgraded slightly. . Anything more than 5 wins would be a pleasant surprise to me. I wouldn’t bother. Season is in the schitter if you’re down to QB 3 anyway, so it may as well be a Logan Thomas or Braxton Miller type that can do something else. They might just grab a QB though, as it doesn’t seem like they’re going to find the OL or WR help that is desperately needed.

I wondered this as well. Every little detail....

It’s a league wide problem , not just Bills. There are few quality O linemen available , few College programs churn out NFL ready linemen and the Bills are in cap purgatory this year. Tough situation to deal with. Lol. Wonder if he worked in a morning deuce

Good point. I also can’t think of less “ sexy” waiver wire claims for this team than CB and P.

Claiming players means you assume their existing contract too. I think teams probably only claim players they actually want, but your scenario is possible if it went down that way.

Damn. Probably ps candidates . Hope the Bills claimed a few OL or it went from bad to worse.

I think CLE being first means they get whoever they put a claim in for.

True, and I agree. The thought of Mack on this D with the potential of Edmunds is pretty intriguing.

Book on Bojorquez is “ big leg, inconsistent ball placement “ . Fwiw

Lol gotta be a Joe Klopfenstein transaction in there somewhere !

Yep, this year is the painful one. Last year was a tear down with no expectations, surprisingly resulting in a playoff berth. That created new expectations, but this year is the “ cap purgatory” year resulting from jettisoning all that dead wood. Including an average to slightly above average QB that wasn’t good enough for “ the process”. The goal is being set higher than an odd playoff appearance here and there. This year is really about getting Allen some live game action and seeing if Peterman can be a long term backup while hopefully honing McDs defense. Next season the cap jail is over , quality FA can be added while using retained draft picks to find studs at cornerstone positions. It’s a tall order, but I’d rather see a swing for the fences than a team that can make a solid double now and then.

This is correct , NOV 1988 division clincher.

He probably does. I’m hoping for a waiver wire claim at this point or even a trade. This WR group is among the worst the Bills have had since probably the Chan Gailey years.

How did he respond to the coaching / film grading that he would have received on those plays ? He has speed, and that can’t be coached. Other things can. Who should they have kept? There were overlapping skill sets and maybe guys who don’t play ST’s. There’s also familiarity with the staff. Anyway, we’re talkiing about a down the depth chart WR here. I don’t know if anyone other than Benjamin and Kerley ( who is a WR 3 anywhere else but a WR2 here) are much better. It came down to speed and other factors most likely.

He has speed, and must have a good attitude toward coaching. Maybe can play some on teams. Anyway, it says at least as much about Coleman as it does Foster.

I’m excited for Sunday and the return of Bills football and the NFL. It will be interesting to see what Daboll does. I’d say he decides to play small ball with Pats style concepts, healthy doses of McCoy ,a few low risk shots over the top off play action. I’m fully expecting a double shot of reality with this offense, followed with continuing struggles on D that we saw in preseason.

Man, how can you comment about the Bills or Buffalo’ s image on this board and still have sympathy for the victims and their families? Heck , even for the killer. He must have been mentally ill and somebody (else) should have noticed and did something about it. How could he have been allowed to rent that truck and buy fertilizer? How , how, how ....You must be a horrible person and should be publicly shamed! C’mon Freddy. How can your thoughts be about the Bills when reading this ? Horrible people on this board. For shame, for shame. ? Right. It was the Christmas Eve game vs Miami for the division , Reich started at QB

Hmmm. I just don’t see it. Not a huge Cousins guy, but I see that MIN defense absolutely terrorizing the Bills sad sack offense. It’s a strong candidate for the Bills worst offensive outing of the year, a real “ set the DVR - watch a better game- skim through the post mortem “ type affair.

Reports are that OAK strongly preferred sending Mack out of the AFC. Jets were very interested too. The deal would have had to be much sweeter than CHI offer to trade Mack in conference . This team isn’t just a player away, they’re in year 2 of a total teardown / rebuild.

2-2 with this schedule and our inexperience at QB plus OL issue ? I’d be over the moon about it, sign me up.

As long as Castillo is here, Ducasse will have a job , unfortunately. He must have compromising photos of Juan or something.
