It was a list specific to 2023, no? Or that's how I was thinking of it. Wilson wasn't the same ferocity of tire fire he had been in 2022, but he still wasn't a top-10 guy in '23.
I really don't think any of that mattered to Stroud when picking the listm

When Stroud came out with his list of top 5 QBs, what jumped off that list was that all 5 players are people of color.
I don't even have an issue about him naming people of color. If that's how he lists it's fine. But at least be humble and not include yourself after being in the league for a cup of coffee.
Also, the most offensive thing to me is that if he wanted to name all people of color....pick better ones. Dak over Jordan Love is an abomination. Heck Russ Wilson has a better career resume than Dak.

Chiefs Colts is intriguing.
On the one hand, this will be a VERY desperate Chiefs team facing a losing record for the first time in a really long time.
On the other hand you have a Colts team that needs to prove they can beat talented teams.
It should be a battle. I'm rooting for the Colts here. We need to take care of our own business of getting the division lead before I worry about seeding. Chiefs losing pushes us closer to a wild card spot if we can't catch up
Jets/Ravens could be interesting. Our old buddy Tyrod is starting for the Jets. Obviously, we should be Jet fans this weekend.
We should be wearing our orange and black stripes as well as we NEED Flacco to ball out and bet the Pats. Unfortunately, as slim as the odds were...they got slimmer with both Hendrickson ruled out and Chase scheduled for a one game suspension. Maye should put up some big numbers on that Bengal defense. Start ALL New England players in fantasy.
I'm actually hoping the Steelers beat the Bears. For the sole reason being, if they keep winning Baltimore can't pull ahead in the division.

With Q Williams joining Kenny Clark I personally think Dallas has the best IDL in the NFL.

This is an awful Monday night match up
Truth
There are routinely long periods not the season I forget that the Raiders still exist. Which is a shame because they are a once great, historic franchise.

Starting with 2018, and only counting players who are still active:
Tremaine Edmunds LB of course. Even OP acknowledges him.
Harrison Phillips DT. Started 17 games for 3 years and all 10 this year for Vikes, 59-74% of the snaps. Vikes #5 D last year, 14-3 and in 2022 13-4. Solid.
Siran Neal CB. Played 17 games for MIA and 11 so far for SF as a STer. SF currently 7-4
Wyatt Teller G. Starting for Cleveland at G since 2019. Has been to 3 probowls and 2nd team AP twice. Might remotely be any good.
Ray Ray McCloud WR. Has played on 5 different teams since leaving the Bills, including 12-4 Steelers, Conf Champ and SB with the 49ers. Largely PR/KR Led the league in PR in 2021. Also saw significant WR snaps with PIT in 2021 and ATL in 2024. Ya kind of think he might remotely be good if he lead the league and played in 2 conf. champs and a superbowl.
2019
Devin Singletary RB. Solid year for HOU in 2023 with more yards than he had in B'lo. Currently playing for the Giants and his YPC has tanked.
Cody Ford G. Started every game at G for Cincy in 2023, all but 1 in 2024, all so far this season. He ain't an all pro, but they haven't found better.
2020
Isaiah Hodgins WR. For a player who was not "Remotely any good" there was a lot of heartburn here when we lost him to the Giants on waivers. After an OK year in 2023, he lost playing time in 2024 and gained it back this year. Played a lot and had a decent game last Sunday. We'll see how he does now Daboll's gone
Dane Jackson. Back with the Bills now. Played ~40% of the snaps for CAR last year in 9 games and 3 starts so they might have thought he was remotely any good
2021
Matt Araiza. P. Punting and holding for the Chiefs. Lots of heart burnings here about that.
Nick Broeker G, Playing for Houston, mostly ST. All 9 games this season
Alex Austin CB. Has been in New England last 3 seasons, playing ST and CB. Has started 5 games at CB in the last 2 years.
That's 11 players besides Edmunds who were drafted by the Bills, went elsewhere, and saw significant playing time. Several STers, but when a guy is leading the league as an STer he might be above "remotely any good". 6 have been starting.
I know, @BuffaloBillyG, there I go with the facts again
Actually, my friend that was an excellent bit of information. Haven't even thought about Siran Neal in years.
You're on point. Once upon a time, when the Bills released someone they were out of the league not long after. I remember so many picks that we had that just flamed out of the league. Some would get second chances elsewhere (Ko Simpson springs to mind) but they wouldn't stick.
-
It was fun to watch. Kudos to the other 10 guys that didn't do anything so blatant that refs were forced to toss the flag.
Hopefully, he can keep it up. If he can he just may earn himself a few extra offensive snaps and touches. Another chance for him may be a good thing.

People forget that when it comes to football, NFL players are a lot smarter than many give them credit for. They don't have to be explicitly told they are running a clearing route, they understand the play design, they know what the reads are given what the defense shows. They know when it's a run play.
They know when they aren't getting the ball. Remember Bishop (I think) saying he could read Worthy's body language and tell when it was gonna be a run play?
But it doesn't help the offense disguise anything if all the players on the field don't at least give a plausible FAKE of effort.Poyer signed to the Bills practice squad on August 27. He walked into the Bills locker room before the season started.
Does not track.
Never let facts distract from a cool conspiracy theory.

Stroud has been slow to recover from a concussion. The last I heard he's still considered iffy for the Bills game considering it comes after a short week. We may be facing Miles Davis, who hasn't been bad in relief. I don't think he has Stroud's mobility though.
Davis Mills is who we would be facing. If we go into the game and piss down our leg...well Miles Davis it is.

If he has a calf injury I think it would be pretty hard to see him make it back on 4 days rest for Thursday night.
This was the same player that gave the Bills a fighting chance in the divisional round against KC in the playoffs when they had to come to Buffalo by fumbling thru the endzone at the half yard line when a TD would have put the Chiefs up by 2 scores late in the game which led to the drive Allen missed Shakir in the endzone thanks to Dawkins getting shoved into Allen by Jones as he threw and then Bass missing a FG to tie.
Fumbling has definitely been an issue for him throughout his career.
Over his career he has 14 fumbles on 401 career touches, including playoff games. That is a LOT of fumbles for that few touches...it's 1 every 28.6 touches.
It's even worse in the playoffs...regular season it's 10 fumbles on 340 touches (1 every 34 touches). In the playoffs it's 4 fumbles in 61 touches, one every 15.3 touches.
I'm going to go out on a limb here. I think if you showed these stats to Beane he would say "Yup, I'm well aware" and still sign him.
The thing is, Beane and McDermott are a lot of things. Thorough happens to be one of them. I predict that they both knew those numbers and are willing to absorb some of the bad for some of the good. They needed a jolt to the offense. They needed a jolt to the return game. He can provide both. And he did in the first time he touched the ball as a Buffalo Bill. I think they are willing to take the bad plays in stride if he can provide a bit of needed juice.
The guy had 3 days of practice and hasn't touched a ball in a live game since preseason. I think the likelihood that he wouldn't have his best game right off the bat was high.

Let's see what his practice participation is this week. I don't expect him active Thursday. He was ruled out fairly quick. I think he survives.
They gave Codrington a LOT of chances before cutting bait. And he offered nothing as a CB. Hardman at least may offer something on offense.
My prediction is he's inactive due to the calf this week, and yes I think it's a legitimate injury, and then he has 10 days to heal up, get more practice time in and be active the following game.

After Hairston played all 53 snaps against Miami and shadowed Waddle on 40 of 41 snaps, there’s absolutely no reason to platoon him and White. Coach can make this defense much faster and more aggressive with a few changes in personnel but he won’t do it. Poyer playing 80% of the snaps while the Bucs gash us is another issue - not entirely on him, of course, but the defense as a whole and its reluctance to go with youth.
Absolutely. And getting gashed by the run, in no world should Bosa be the leading DE in snap percentage.

Bishop is the future of the room. Rapp, Poyer and Hamlin should be wishes well on their future endeavors. Hancock shows some promise. Lewis is a valuable piece, and would like to see him play more NCB going forward.

Some notable things. WR snap counts almost even (except Hardman).

The people who don't like McDermott's in game management but want Stefanski have clearly never watched a Browns game.
It's got the same feel for me as the people yelling for Brady's head because he's "too cute" with the play calling, but pine for Daboll to be back.

Agreed. Milano, Tre, Poyer, and Rapp need to not be starters or on the team in anything more than a vet min deal. I like they idea of their presence to helping with new guys, but that's it.
All I can think is that McD was worried about a trick play. I even thought that as I found it off the Bucs were conceding defeat.
Honestly, I dislike the idea.
As we see this year, if any of these guys are on the roster, they are one play away from seeing significant snaps. I'd even throw Jordan Phillips on the list. I think having a guy or two like that could be a benefit, but if you're filling the bench with guys that have no business on the field anymore and injury bug hits .. you're in deep trouble.

Mills has won the last 2 games for the Texans. He's not incapable. Gonna be a challenge either way IMO.

Loved Micah but I think Bishop has a much higher ceiling than that
I look at it as he has the potential to have Hyde's instincts matched with Jarius Byrd's ball hawk abilities.
He's a very exciting player to watch. I believe he and Max will really shore up that secondary for years to come.. especially if Benford remembers how to play football.
-
A couple of seasons ago, the Bills let some vets walk on defense. It was time. They said goodbye to Poyer, White (who are both oddly back) and Hyde.
This off season I feel it's time to do the same. It's time to shed some longtime guys who just aren't what they used to be. Obviously, Milano, Tre White and Poyer need to be upgraded. But, they need to take a serious look at Taron Johnson, Rapp and even the newcomer in Joey Bosa as guys that probably shouldn't return.
It's really telling that once Rapp went out our secondary seems to have pulled it together, and is always stronger when White is on the side watching Mad Max play. It really speaks volumes that when Taron is out, the slot is covered just fine. No drop off at all. Games Milano have missed have actually had better LBer play.
For as many assets that they have sunk in, the best thing they could do is to cut the dead wood off, let the young guys get experience and reboot that defense this off season

It's been a confusing season.
I think if before the season I was told we would be at 7-3, I would have taken that. And been quite happy. But the reality of the situation hits much different. When you combine:
- The Patriots record and them beating us head to head at our house
-Getting run out of Atlanta by a team that hasn't won a game since
-Getting trounced by Miami
-The fact that Burrow got hurt, Cincinnati has struggled
-Lamar and almost the entire Raven defense was hurt, they struggled
-Kansas City is not the same
It just feels like a HUGE missed opportunity this season. Losing 2 very winnable games to Atlanta and Miami really suck. Could and probably should be 9-1 right now. The path to the #1 seed was right there for us...and it's now way tougher to get there. So even at 7-3, it still feels like disappointment.

Regardless of your thoughts on Stroud and Rodgers, they are definitely better than Mills and Rudolph. That’s why they are unquestioned starters.
In a black and white world, you would be correct. In a world with nuance, that's not always the case. Just because Mike Tomlin views Rodgers as an unquestioned starter doesn't make him right.

Really hope Coleman isn’t active again. In theory his punishment could be one game if they were serious about it just being for disciplinary reasons.
Yeah, I agree. I'm big on going with what's working, and yesterday without Keon it was working well.
The only caveat I have is that if Kincaid is still out, which I expect, AND Shakir had any kind of setback, I would have him active to work in the slot with Palmer and Gabe outside.

I think our momentum carries over and we get off to a fast start.
