It’s October, 2022 and Mitch Trubisky is no longer the starter of the Pittsburgh Steelers for the upcoming Bills game this Sunday. While we can’t be confident enough in Kenny Pickett to write Mitch’s ticket out of Pittsburgh yet, Pickett showed enough promise in his first game to open the conversation — is there a chance we can get Mitch back next year? In looking closer at his contract, Trubisky is due $10.26M next year and only $2.26M dead cap if cut: https://www.spotrac.com/nfl/pittsburgh-steelers/mitchell-trubisky-21743/ Personally, I think he would be one of the best backups in the NFL and I’d love to see him back. He’s known to be a big fan of Buffalo and good friend to Josh. The Trubisky Watch is on.

This is the issue. Every player on a potential Super Bowl team should have a role. Moss being on the active roster, playing zero special teams, and getting less than 2 yards per carry on his 6 snaps is a problem. If Moss doesn't play, that means you can make a guy like Shakir active every week... or open the spot to a guy like Raheem Blackshear before he was taken off our practice squad. Who would you rather have?

This isn't worth a new thread, so I'll just put it here: https://frontofficesports.com/lawyer-massive-delay-in-former-bills-punter-matt-araiza-probe/ Almost a month after his release, Matt Araiza still hasn't been served with any criminal charges. I am NOT saying he's innocent, but what a sad story if he was ... and we all forgot about him immediately.

Zack Moss had a 43 yard run in a huge hole against an exhausted Dolphins team. Apart from that, he has 12 rushes for 35 yards this season… less than 3 yards per carry… and he doesn’t play special teams. Somehow, he’s even worse than last year. You could tell McDermott wanted to bench Motor after his fumble, but then realized Moss is a complete joke and Cook just isn’t ready yet.

He was unreal today. Single handedly shut down several plays that would have changed the game for Baltimore. INCREDIBLE.

I think it’s a little different when the “us” is defending the mistreatment of a young man and carelessly putting his life in danger.

Didn’t expect so much hate on this… I don’t hate Dolphins fans, or Tua, or you. There’s no superiority happening here… just not understanding how a concrete fact became so blurred with one contingent.

Is anyone else observing the trend of Dolphins fans doubling down on Tua being “fine” during the Bills game? All over Twitter, all I see is an “us vs them” mentality from Dolphins fans and it’s really embarrassing to watch. Objectively, all of our hearts and minds should be with Tua and nothing else. Is this a normal reaction? I feel like if Josh (god forbid) had a similar situation we would be angry at THE BILLS for allowing him to play… not mad at everyone else. What am I missing here?

How does this effect the Buffalo Bills?

I was going to make a separate thread but let’s keep this here. Groot is #7 in the NFL in sacks right now with 3.5 The leader has 4.5. It’s looking like we officially hit on the pick, which is so huge for this team.

How about slamming Moss up the middle twice in a row for no gain, followed by a strip sack fumble on our own 5. Zack Moss should be inactive every week. The runs at the end of the game were nice, but ANY running back would be able to beat a gassed defense that late. Scratch him, please.

It's a shame the Bills are so banged up. Tua is going to look decent against our 2nd string DB's and our offense is going to put up points, so he'll be slinging it. I think we win, but it probably won't be a beat-down, so regardless we'll have to hear the Tua hype and how "explosive" their offense is for another few weeks.

I hope Tremaine Edmunds has an unbelievable season. Then, I hope we Franchise tag him and trade him for a 2nd-3rd round pick. Or, let him walk and hope he gets top 3 money so we get a 3rd round compensatory pick.

Dolphins winning games! Tua is actually good! Uh oh, daddy’s home.

“Got a tel ya” is all time Buffalo dialect I don’t think you did that on purpose, but I like it!

Let's say hypothetically OJ did kill both Nicole Simpson and Ron Goldman ... Does he deserve peace? Think about the parents of Nicole and Ron. Think about them, themselves. They never get to spend another day on earth. If this were purely a football thread, I'd say yeah, he's a wonderful football player. But we seem to be talking about his character and his mental state, so I don't particularly hope he's relaxing and happy given what he allegedly did.

Happy for him and simultaneously totally fine with him leaving.

I’ll be the one to say it. Bills play Steelers in less than a month. Tough news for them, but good news for us. Wishing him and Najee a speedy 5 week recovery!

Ok… so 4 down linemen, plus Edmunds down… that’s 5 D-Linemen. I assume you would want at least two linebackers (Dodson and Milano) and two Safeties … which leaves two corners. That means you’re taking Taron Johnson off the field. So, you think our best defense is: 5 DL 2 LB: Dodson and Milano 2 CB: Elam and Jackson 2 S: Hyde and Poyer Do you see any issues with that against a team that might want to pass?

So… you think that Edmunds would be an upgrade over Von, Groot, Basham, and Epenesa and we should put him in at 4-3 End … because you’d rather have Dodson, Bernard, or Specter at ILB? Why would we downgrade two positions for absolutely no reason…

Said it pre-season and will say it again. The combination of Ken Dorsey and Aaron Kromer >>>>>>> Daboll and Bobby Johnson. Love Daboll and Johnson for the pass, but they couldn’t figure out the run game for sh*t.

I actually don’t think he handled it well. A lot of subtle comments like “it felt like a fluke” and “it was 10-10 if you take away the explosive plays” makes me feel like he still isn’t fully owning the loss. I guess you can’t expect him to be truly humble, but you could feel the internal struggle and his dad and agent hyping him up like “this was their super bowl” probably shows you where his ego comes from. On a related note, I would hate to have a player on the Bills do a postgame show with his dad and agent and air out all his dirty laundry after games.

Personally, I loved beating the Patriots twice last season and not punting either game. This one is fun though because it was the only game on TV, it was the first of the season, and nobody has anything else to talk about for 48 hours.

I really can’t stand comparisons between two different sports. There are 5 guys on the court in Basketball … one guy has way more impact on every game than in Football outside of the QB position. You can literally win a championship with just two incredible guys.
