Sure, it could .. maybe people who have some strange doom complex can provide more detail as to why they think this will happen … or they can just make themselves feel better by posting negativity, absent explanation, about their team. I actually wouldn’t pick us to win this game if I had to make a choice. I absolutely think we can, but we haven’t shown anything in terms of player execution, consistency and coaching this year, or against this team, that makes me confident in that. …but I’m not going to plaster social media with “this might get ugly” posts so that I can cope better. This team deserves better than that and if they want to be taken seriously, will come out and win Sunday Night.

This is the “embarrassing defeatist talk” I referenced. Talent wise, there is no reason that should happen. It would be a major red flag reflection on Allen and the coaching staff. Von is still working back, Douglas will be getting acclimated, Allen healing up from a shoulder injury and Knox is out, but coming off a mini-bye, they have enough healthy talent to win this game…and they ****ed around enough already this season that the excuses have run out. ….and they also know that.

The defeatist talk from some is embarrassing, but it’s definitely a “show me” game for a lot of us. Bengals losses can be blamed on Burrow’s injury. Bills losses are blamed on… what? Offense has been healthy and is an inconsistent mess. Defense has injuries that, Rasual Douglas aside, will have to be worked through. We showed we couldn’t stop them for a game and two drives last year. Our offense made their DC look like an evil genius. It’s in Cinci. We’re absolutely talented enough to beat them, but we need to see a lot more from this team than they’ve been showing.

I wouldn’t have moved Elam for anything less than a 4th, so if the offer were less .. I’m good with it. He’s likely the inactive CB4 from here on out and then we’ll see if Year 3 Kaiir Elam can become anything. Would rather take a shot on something finally clicking for an elite athlete at CB than give him away.

No offense to what Tre used to be, but Rasul Douglas is better than what he was this year pre-injury.

There seems to be whispers of a potential Suh signing at some point. It does seem interesting that reports are we were so heavy on CB before the deadline and next to zero reports of us on a DT/LB.

If we aren’t trading for an elite/elite potential corner, Rasul Douglas is the next best tier. Straight up G who should excel in our scheme. Douglas/Benford makes outside corner, at the very least, solid .. at best, a strength.

So we now have a 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 5, 6, 6, 6? That’s a lot of Day 3 picks…

Yea, I don't think they have to be an either/or... Especially if Elam does get traded.

It's .. fine. I agree. Wallace would give us reliable depth to play at a similar level to Jackson in our scheme. It doesn't move the needle, but helps prevent it from dropping any further.

Imagine posting the eyeball emoji as an athlete and an entire fanbase is basically begging you to not be looking at us.

We will need picks, but yea.. 10 is overkill. Offense looks pretty much set, but will likely need a WR early in the draft to replace Gabe. Defense might look a whole lot different.. Linebacker is set with Bernard, Milano and 2nd year Williams, but as we sit here today.. only Von, Rousseau, Oliver, Benford, Johnson & Poyer are under contract.

Bills interest in Jaylon Johnson is 100% legit and has been reported by both national and local reporters. That's all I've heard in relation to Bills verified interest in anyone.

Yea.. Beane has been pretty good at drafting, and with the emergence of Terrell Bernard, AJ Epenesa and Spencer Brown, the Day 2 stuff is blown out of proportion. My biggest issue with his drafting, and this may change as the need for immediate impact begins to outweigh potential, is that some of these guys take too long to become a factor for us as we spend too much of their rookie contract waiting on them to pop.

Bears just sent a 2nd rounder to the Commanders for Montez Sweat

49ers seem to be overkill on defense. If i'm them, i'm working the phones for offense because Purdy has shown that he needs everything around him to be elite.

I mean... we'll probably be in line for another comp pick 3rd next year with Gabe and/or AJ potentially leaving. If they want two of them, I'm not giving them 2nd's, but I'll give them two 3rd's if they're one this year and one next.

The Raiders can say they won't trade him.. and they probably won't, but his situation isn't just the typical veteran star player on a bad team wants out. He signed there to play with his best friend in Derek Carr. They then shipped out Carr and stuck him with terrible QB play.

The thought did cross my mind of Buffalo moving AJ and then adding on the DL to replace him, but I think that's way too many moving parts and the Bills are typically pretty loyal to their guys.

1) Adams, if he’s available 2) Jaylon Johnson 3) Billings or Suh 4) Linebacker If we go defense, I’d hope it’s a two-part move.. say a trade for Johnson & signing Suh. We’re either going to have to light people up on offense or fix the defense to a level that they are a Top 8 unit again. That would take more than one trade/signing.

NFL does a great job with almost everything publicity wise, but their trade deadline is typically the lamest thing ever. (Joe Buck) “Hey Adam, can tell us what happening with this trade deadline that we’re trying to hype up for the network!? (Adam Schefter) ”Nothing”

I would assume a trade for him would include assurances between Beane and his agent that the parameters of a deal could be worked out long term. He’s been open to signing with Chicago and it hasn’t come to fruition. I’m sure there’s an idea of what he’s looking for and whether or not we could make that happen.
