ColoradoBills

Did you read my earlier post? Is it Knox calling the plays? Can you give the Bills new OC some time to gameplan him properly? Can you give the new OC some extra time due to his "bigger fish to fry" concerns with a banged-up OL/WRs? Can you give the new OC some credit for introducing a RB pass catching scheme to work up? I'm so glad I still can see your posts. You do amuse me.

Well said. Fans getting all over Knox is a bit foolish but it's the way of the world anymore. The offense in general is nowhere solidified yet. Bills got a new OC and has had a banged-up OL/WR core. Bills have some issues in the run game to boot. Knox himself is bang-up and has had a pretty rough summer with his family. I'm not criticizing OC Dorsey, but he's still got a lot to do and learn. I don't think enough Bills fans can appreciate what Dorsey is going through. We all need to give this thing some more time. Well said again. He doesn't start getting big money until 2024. Funny thing is after that they can get out of the contract pretty cheap. Hmmm, maybe Brandon Beane knows what he's doing when it comes to what Knox will or won't be doing by them.

21 It is a little weird. It could be just waiting to see if a player actually takes a 53-roster spot or just elevated for this week's game. Beane is very low on cash, not sure if some of the reasoning is based on saving a few bucks. With players potentially coming back to the roster soon, Beane might leave it at 52 if he can get away with the bodies he has for another 2 weeks. A trade is always possible, but the only positions the Bills can afford to move out of are DL (if everyone is getting healthy) and RB. I guess an LB could also be available being Smith can return after the bye. Any trade would also have money issues to consider.

I actually see these bad team matchups as a good thing. Most of these ugly games and bad teams get hidden every Sunday, with only the local fans having to deal with it. If yesterday's game was played on Sunday no one would be talking about it. It is a good thing for the fans of these bad teams to be in the spotlight. It will light a fire under ownership down to coaches and players. Look what the Colts have done with their organization. While not anything as bad as the Wilson trade, the Ryan deal was stupid too. Next week's game between the Bears and Commanders is the same. Perpetual suffering fan bases causes by bad ownership and mismanagement.

So, the Colts won a "close game". Does that mean they are better than the Bills? I read that in a thread.

Haack with a perfect hold!.

No. The Bills/Browns had Edwards/Anderson as QBs. Thier combined 2009 salaries amounted to a rounding error for Wilson/Ryan's pay.

Bradley Chubb gets his name mentioned.

I will always thank John Elway! One of the best moments in Bills history.

I know most fans hate games like this. I'm just enjoying the laughs I'm getting.

That's the strategy in Buffalo, where C.J. Spiller is going to earn his paycheck this season, according to Bills offensive coordinator Nathaniel Hackett. "It's real simple," Hackett told WGR-AM on Wednesday, via The Buffalo News. "We're going to give him the ball until he throws up. So he's either got to tap out or throw up on the field. Let's just put it that way."

Yep. For all those that need a reminder of the trade. Traded • Russell Wilson • 2022 fourth round pick (#116-Eyioma Uwazurike) to Broncos for • Drew Lock • Noah Fant • Shelby Harris • 2022 first round pick (#9-Charles Cross) • 2022 second round pick (#40-Boye Mafe) • 2022 fifth round pick (#145-Darian Kinnard) • 2023 first round pick (?-?) • 2023 second round pick (?-?) on 2022-03-16 PLUS: A 5-year Russell Wilson extension for $242M that ends in 2029 when Wilson turns 41 and becomes an UFA. Wilson has a dead cap of $107M next year.

Jags game is a morning in London.

Yes. They play outside the country and a Sunday Night game too.

It keeps going. They play the Chargers next Monday night.

Trainers need to oil Ryans wheelchair.

Here is a data driven article on close games. You may or may not like what it says. It's only 4 years old....so add to it if you want. http://www.optimumscouting.com/news/nfl-s-close-game-analytics-how-lucky-wins-or-losse Interesting quotes: The truth of the matter is that studying how teams earn their wins and losses the one year can tell us a lot about what their next season is going to look like. Many will say “stats are for losers,” but teams which win a bunch of close games in one year tend to have drastic negative regression the next year. ......... Teams which win close games get worse the next year. Teams which lose close games get better the next year. The NFL has basically incentivized this phenomenon with their salary cap, draft and schedule systems.

Not only Crowder not going to IR, which is puzzling, is there any word on how Kumerow is recovering?

I use the Pritchard Scale.

Tre works his way back in at LCB. Looking forward, it's Dane Jackson's future that is very murky. How much are the Bills willing to pay him next season? He's a RFA next year and there is no way he stays on the Bills for an "original round (7th) tender". Multiple teams will give him offers. The Bills could match whatever that cost is but will they with Elam and Benford needing to play. Putting a 2nd round tender on him probably ensures he stay but it's a one-year deal at $4.3M. Once again, is that too much for depth if Elam and/or Benford can play. He would be an UFA the following year and most likely moves on anyway. Neither choice is great for the bottom-line Bills point of view. I really like Dane but it's going to be a numbers thing next season. It's a slim chance, but he may be a "tradeable" asset by the deadline. If not, I think the Bills end up losing him for a 7th in 2024.

He took 57 snaps the first 2 games. He had only 28 the last 2 games. I don't know why but once the DL gets back to normal maybe it will go back up.

I never liked Zach Moth.

Devin is an UFA in March so you might get your wish. Until next year nothing else will happen.

So, what is your recommended actions? Do the Bills cut Devin? Demote him to RB3? What is the bottom line here?

He's not going to be ready until November of even December. If the Bills were interested, it would be because they do have an opening for him. He signed with LA last November for $1.25M, but he made another $3M in incentives. If he wants the same type of deal, I doubt the Bills would do it unless they were really hurting.
