Lot of teams are much worse off at tight end. We have talent, although some of it’s unproven talent.

Zero chance they’re looking for tight ends. That’s one of the deepest positions on the whole team. I get none of them are Kelce, Ertz or even Austin Hooper but there’s plenty of talent to make an impact on this team. Got to keep getting Knox and Kroft involved in the pass game to see what we have

I’d be all over that one. Not sure the eagles can part with him though. Desean is hurt, Agholor isn’t very good for them. Dealin Alshon basically means they have no receivers left for next year for sure. Philly is still in the hunt, selling off Jeffrey now tells the fans the season is over don’t bother coming to the rest of the games

Lamar is literally Greg romans wet dream for quarterback. Say what you will for Roman but that guy knows how to design run plays possibly better than anyone in the nfl. Since the pats D is so elite this year I am looking forward to seeing if they can stop the Baltimore gimmick and of course I’m hoping buffalo makes them look silly running it too. The offense they are running is extremely complex to defend but on the flip side quite easy to execute. as far as the quarterbacks go, I agree with the above Cleveland should of done Barkley first and quarterback at 4. But... they landed at top 5-10 corner. I doubt most of the teams would change up. I think Cleveland, New Jersey, buffalo and Baltimore would all keep what they have.

Golladay is one of my favorite non bills players. I mentioned yesterday about bills trades and Atlanta should be selling off some pieces minus Julio and Ridley. I can see buffalo swinging at Vic Beasley as a one year rental maybe hoping to get some pass rush out of him. It would be a cheap get like a 5 or 6 or something really low since Beasley is making a ton this year and is the last year of his deal. If I had my choice I’d get deion Jones but I don’t think he’s available.

I don’t think any real difference makers will be available this year for the trade deadline. Doesn’t mean someone with a little potential can’t be found but I don’t think we will see any elite players on the move. You could see maybe Vic Beasley from the falcons for say a 5th as a one year rental type deal. Falcons should be big sellers (they aren’t trading Julio or Ridley sadly) but their season is done. I’d love to see Quinn fired and a giant fire sale in Atlanta though. What a wasted group of talent

The prototypical #1 is not needed in today’s NFL. It’s actually worse for quarterbacks in some situations to have to force feed targets to those guys. Look at the very top receivers in the league. Most of them are on losing teams. Look what Rodgers did without his #1 yesterday. It’s a new league and the name of the game is weapons not #1 receivers. I have said since free agency josh has enough weapons that a good quarterback can make this a potent offense. Beasley and Kroft should be under 10 yard chain movers. Duke and Knox should be able to get your jump 50/50 balls. Foster and Brown are your deep threats. Only brown has shown he’s a threat anywhere not just deep. Plenty of weapons. We are as good as the saints offense. Just a matter of josh using his weapons correctly and making plays.

I too am concerned with the designed Allen runs. I have to wonder at this point if they think the best play comes from josh when he’s running and gunning. Ya know best way to get him pumped up and in the game after ripping a run and getting hit. And I really like Jordan Phillips and he makes some impact plays, but it’s really concerning that some of these big plays are immediately followed by something incredibly dumb. Famous saying is what? Act like you’ve been there before. In the end though, we are off to a near perfect start and primed to make a playoff push and be a scary team to play for some of the favorites. I was yelling for some blitzes. Definitely missed Milano out there today next to tremaine

I don’t care what Knox did today. Obviously not his best performance. I care about what he does in the future. Kid has the correct tools to be the next wave of great tight ends like Ertz. After Kroft, then the smith signing and how well Sweeney has played I didn’t expect Knox to see much playing time so he’s already ahead of the curve on my timeline. Got to put the good plays, and bad plays on tape for the coaches to nitpick and get better in practice.

I don’t think it was anything too serious, Williams had a good impact on the run game on a couple plays.

He’s done so little in Tampa because Winston is a horrible quarterback. They like to use Brate in the red zone and have seriously messed up not getting Howard involved in the offense. That said why would they even consider trading him right now? His value is at its lowest, he’s on a rookie deal, wouldn’t make any sense to trade him unless they were getting a prime time player like Melvin Gordon or something similar

So we’re getting von Miller for a mid 20’s first rounder? Sounds good. Which end spot is he playing? We cutting Hughes playing time more? Or Lawson who has arguably been the most impactful on the line? I don’t think he helps this defense as a linebacker dropping into coverage. I mean I get it, he’s Von Miller, but I’ve always been the “if it ain’t broke don’t fix it” kinda person. On top of the fact that there’s zero chance the broncos are letting him go that cheaply. At minimum they would have to get 2 first rounders for him.

I don’t think he’s ready, it’s not like adding green can hurt the team (minus the draft picks it’ll take to get him). I just don’t see the point, everything good about AJ Greens game is everything bad about Allen as a quarterback. Allen is kind of terrible most times at any real timing throws or throwing to where his receiver will be. He’s definitely not very good finding his mismatches pre snap. He’s not a cerebral quarterback yet. What good is adding another weapon if he can’t see wide open guys in the middle of the field and throws it 15 yards past them to a receiver blanketed? Technically green would be the #1 on the team talent wise, I don’t think he’d have #1 production at all here though

It makes zero sense for Cinci to hold onto him unless he’s already agreed he will sign back up in the offseason. Why not get something now in a totally lost season for them when they may end up with nothing. I’m not sold the bills should be a team willing to spend heavy on green but somebody sure as heck should. If, big if, he’s healthy he’s a legit #1 receiver even with injury bugs. I’m not sold on buffalo trading for him because I don’t think it matters who you bring in, until Allen can see the field what’s the point? He can barely utilize his weapons now. It’s like giving a kid studying for his learners permit the keys to a Ferrari and saying have fun. Allen cannot see the field yet, he can rarely make the correct decisions. Adding in an all pro receiver sounds great, but he’s the only going to be targeted 2-5 times a game the way this season has looked.

I can’t see this being “the year” they make any real noise. Not from what I have watched anyways. The pieces are there, the team is in great shape. All this playing to the level of your opponent stuff and of course Allen’s hit and miss style of play gives me concern they can’t really hang come playoff time. I would need to see way better execution and explosiveness from the offense

Well it’s official, we need a new whipping boy on here now. Good deal for both teams

Pretty sure he’ll be looking for a new job tomorrow

He definitely flashed some this game, and his physical run blocking looked great

Not really, his hit on Doyle wasn’t even that bad to warrant an ejection and now a 12 game suspension. It was illegal sure, but his hit warrants an ejection, and the Allen hit doesn’t? Prior issues are not part of the game day judgement calls

I don’t think anything was meant to be dirty about it. But come on, there’s zero chance prepping for this game New England’s coaches didn’t say “if he leaves the pocket make him pay for it” and that’s how it should be. That’s how I would want buffalo to attack Lamar Jackson or any other quarterbacks capable of taking a game over with their legs. With that said, I felt it was a dirty hit but not an intentional one

Burfict was ejected, and now suspended the rest of the season for a nasty hit on Doyle and I’m still not sold it was dirtier than the Allen hit. Doyle was trying to get up not being held up by an opponent to tee off on. Im not a “refs are paid to be against us” kind of person I thought the game was called fairly for most of the game. The hit on Allen was dirty though in my opinion and he should of gotten a personal foul and I would of supported ejection as well. If Hughes makes that exact same hit on Brady he would of been ejected and possibly suspended today too.

I expected some growing pains as he got used to his new weapons. But I am actually losing some faith he’ll ever be able to make the correct reads on the field and get the ball out with any kind of normalcy. His ceiling for me was a faster Big Ben and I figured his floor was more cam Newtonish. But what I’m seeing is Fitz 2.0. I have not given up, obviously I want him starting every game this season, but to be that bad yesterday rather he could of brought them back or not was kind of sickening. We crushed peterman for not being prepared, turning the ball over and not being ready to perform at this level. Allen looked like he should not be in the league yesterday and that should be concerning to everyone who is a fan. The only positive I can take from this Pats game is he has some film to study this week on the worst parts of his game and what needs to be worked on.

I too wondered what the heck they were thinking. That quick pass drive worked so nice. Where was all the fun misdirection with Roberts and McKenzie and jet sweeps and stuff to limit the pass rush some more. It was disappointing they found the “key” that one drive and never found it again

They lost because of Allen today plain and simple. Rather he finished the game or not he made some completely meatheaded plays. I haven’t given up on him yet but he’s played enough to start making these adjustments. His need for the big throw and homerun VS the safer shorter route is maddening as a fan. I hope he’s ok, and I absolutely want him starting against another pretty nasty defense in Tennessee. If he can’t learn from his mistakes and get better then at least we’ll know by seasons end if he’s franchise material or not. He needs to play every possible down though this season.

Great drive. Great play calling there. Why cant they start games like this?
