I think there is less pressure than the media claims. Top 5 GM, top 5 coach. Won’t be easy to replace.

And would look pretty cool too.

As the topic implies, let’s speculate over just who might be rocking different digits in 2023. There are two players who come to my mind immediately. The first, is actually Tyler Bass. Now that skill position players can rock single digit numbers, Bass’ #2 might be at a premium. Khalil Shakir immediately comes to mind, as does a certain recently released 30 year old wideout who could be on our radar. Why else might Bass change his number? For the first time in his career, his college number is actually available. The previous resident was some practice squader who got signed away, not sure if it’s been discussed. The second guy, and I think this is a slam dunk, is James Cook. I love the way 28 looks, but he was 4 in college and his brother wears 4 for Minnesota. I really don’t think Jaquan Johnson will be brought back, and Cook never updates the number in his insta handle, so what other proof do you need? Who am I missing? Is there another guy you think will change numbers?

I felt while they could definitely improve (and clearly are), but I didn’t consider either to be ‘bad.’ Neither did Finna, he just wanted more from those two. IMO both made strides in 2022 *Edit* After looking at their splits, Epenesa actually played better after Von went down. Groots production significantly dipped after the ankle injury.

John Fina also called out 2 guys I’ve defended: Groot and AJE. He said next man up doesn’t mean you become Von, but it does mean you show flashes and produce. He was unhappy with the performance of both.

Locked On Bills is an amazing podcast with amazing insight. The elbow injury and arm angle is definitely plausible to being a part of why things got weird the last 9 weeks. John Fina hit the nail on the head yesterday as well. I’m sure it can and I’m sure it was, BUT these mechanic changes will affect his accuracy, which we saw. It’s made very clear in the podcast and the next episode, Bills didn’t lose because Allen’s injury or because “they ran out of gas.” They lost because of poor blocking schemes and a poor overall offensive game plan. Injuries, also, became a huge issue in the end.

It was a misunderstanding He thought Denver DC was a restaurant.

Watson has proven to be a much better passer than Jackson. I’m not sure I pay that if I’m the Ravens, and they could get multiple first round picks in return for him.

I hope that’s all we have to worry about in 2023

2004 Brian Moorman lol

He had more catches than Davis did last year… It wasn’t a blip, his drop and catch % have been consistent his whole career so far. There is no rebound for Davis, he needs a breakout. Bills need a backup plan if that doesn’t happen.

😬😬😬😬😬😬

3.7 drop percentage and caught 62% of his passes. Would give us crazy speed outside. Isnt he Smoke’s cousin?

Always hated that saying

He should be on a plane back to Buffalo right now.

I am just THAT good.

Here’s the game: rank our 24 free agents from most likely to least likely to re-sign. Unrestricted free agents: OG Ike Boettger WR Jamison Crowder LB Tremaine Edwards OT Bobby Hart S Jaquan Johnson RB Taiwan Jones QB Case Keenum LB A.J. Klein WR Jake Kumerow DE Shaq Lawson S Dean Marlowe P Sam Martin LB Tyler Matakevich OT Justin Murray DT Jordan Phillips S Jordan Poyer OG David Quessenberry OG Rodger Saffold RB Devin Singletary TE Tommy Sweeney OG Greg Van Roten Restricted free agents: LB Tyler Dodson CB Dane Jackson CB Cam Lewis Obviously you don’t have to do all 24, but I figured this is the perfect time since no one has been re-upped or tagged yet. 🦬

If they grabbed him, that may even take the pressure off Gabe Davis.

At the same time, the best way to get a raise at work is to tell them you’re leaving.

Damn. Let’s hope a new WR coach can help since he has the tools. I feel it’s a confidence and mental thing right now. You definitely don’t want every ball being a 50/50 ball.

Parris Campbell - Slot WR - Played for Indy last year. I don’t love Chark, drops and catch % are an issue.

He needs to improve his catch percentage (51%) and get better about drops (10%). Specifically, he needs to get better with physical corners. Lets see if a new WR coach can help him, his book isn’t closed yet but he didn’t show the growth we all expected.

He was on the roster the same time as McKenzie, not only did he not beat him out “easily,” he didn’t beat him out at all.

Obviously a bunch of dudes on a MB know more than a 10+ year NFL vet.

It’s just crazy to me people care this much about a guy who, odds are, would be no where near the starting lineup on this team since he seems the best to be outside. He likely may not even make the 2023 roster here…
