We knew about Hoecht but not Ogunjobi https://www.nfl.com/news/bills-gm-free-agent-signings-mike-hoecht-larry-ogunjobi-facing-six-game-suspensions-for-ped-violations

I think this would be a terrible idea. 1) Tanking is NOT a big issue in the NFL. There's only a few examples of teams tanking an entire season in the past 20+ years (IE Colts for Luck or Browns for Garrett). There's been any number of janky final games of the season like our game vs Pats last year, but I don't see how this proposal would help that. 2) This would make tanking MORE blatant. Teams would be in a desperate scramble to make it to the minimum number of wins to keep their pick, and as soon as they reached it they would trade/bench everyone to ensure they don't win any additional games. 3) Any team that loses what would've been an early 1st round pick is going to be severely crippled going forward. Can you imagine being a fan of a team that can't make it to the minimum number of wins and then loses their 1st round pick? That team would lose all it's fans in a few years and fold...

Who coulda guessed that giving a massive contract to a 33 year old pass rusher (Miller) wouldn't have worked out? Or a PED abuser in Hoecht? Beane targeted these risky guys and it blew up in his face

Grading extensions this offseason from best to worst 1) Cook: A+ 2) Allen: B+ 3) Groot: C 4) Benford: D- 5) Bernard: F

Heck you can add Bernard and Benford to this list. It's insane that 2024 was a "cap reset" year where we purged a ton of older players and traded Diggs away resulting in about 90 mil deadcap and our cap situation is ALREADY back in the crapper. Beane has done an awful job on recent contracts and managing the cap

Not really. The last 7 minutes of the Ravens game and the 2nd half of the Bucs game were about it. Watching this defense is soul crushing. Can't stop the run. Can't stop 3rd downs. Can't get sacks/turnovers unless we're playing Fields or Dalton. This defense is mostly bend AND break. We're sometimes bend but don't break. It feels like this offense runs 10+ bubble screens per game, half of which get tackled for minimum gain (or a loss). The offensive philosophy seems to prefer draining the clock over scoring points in an effort to protect this god awful defense.

Not the first time he's damaged that elbow. Rookie season missed 4 games with UCL sprain Elbow tear in 2022 week 9 that he played through Elbow sprain in 2024 week 16 that he played through (repeatedly shaking his hand trying to get feeling back).

Best we can do is blame injuries and blather on about complementary football

Bills 23 Texans 13

Honestly Bernard should be benched as well. Hopefully he's dealing with an injury that's making him play as poorly as he is.

It also could've been a completion. I think both of his INTs yesterday were good risks to take. The first one he makes a risky throw to avoid a safety. The second one he tried forcing a throw on 4th down - an INT is preferable to an incompletion on that play.

I'm confused by the analysis on the INT. Kubiak says there are 3 good options, but Shavers is the only guy remotely open? And that was a slow developing route. It's still a god awful throw by Allen, but I disagree with the analysis that he had multiple good options on the play.

Jalen Hurts is aggressively mediocre. He got benched for Tua....

Keon's been benched twice (once last year and once this year) for 'disciplinary reasons'. McD left it vague but being late or missing practice is a good bet.

Pretty awful game for the defense IMO. The defense allowed 14 points on the Dolphins first 3 drives. Then had a stretch where they played pretty well from the middle of the 2nd Q into the 4th Q. Then gave up a couple of long TDs in the 4th Q to put the game away. Both of Tua's interceptions were just arm punts

Theoretically it's possible. In reality 11 of our 25 sacks on the season have come against the Jets and Panthers. As we're not going to play Justin Fields and an injured Andy Dalton every week I'd put money on the Bills finishing outside the top 10 in sacks this season.

Yea, I think this particular play the early pressure by Jones makes Allen skittish. He steps up in the pocket and takes (the also wide open) check down to Hawes. I'm still not sure why this wasn't a catch. Looks like it went right through Hawes hands? Big picture does our WR corps suck or do we need to use them better? I think it's both. In terms of talent this is probably a bottom 5 WR corps, but we don't use them well either in this offensive scheme.

We had the 22nd overall pick. WRs still on the board at the time: Justin Jefferson (22nd) Brandon Aiyuk (25th) Tee Higgins (33rd) Michael Pittman (34th) WRs selected before 22nd: Ruggs (12th) Jeudy (15th) Lamb (17th) Raegor (21st) Trading up for Raegor or Ruggs would've been a disaster. Any of the other 6 WRs (on a rookie contract) are probably a better choice than trading a 1st for Diggs.

You're completely ignoring the fact that if he made the FG the game is over (for all intents and purposes) and that making the FG is more likely than missing it. We had an identical in-game situation back in week 3 against the Dolphins that was barely talked about because Prater executed and made the FG.

Sauce has been garbage the last couple seasons with refs actually throwing flags on him for clutching and grabbing. Getting 2x1sts for him is absolute robbery. I think it's a delayed course correction for them. They shouldn't have signed Wilson and Sauce to those monster contracts going into a season with Justin Fields as their QB. If the Jets don't bungle it (like they always do) they could be a real threat by 2027

McD's blunders from this game were timeouts. He had no reason to use a timeout before KC's field goal. The timeout before the 4th and 17 actively hurt us by giving KC more time to come up with a play.

Laughable that they paused the game for a minute to have a ref huddle and they STILL blow the call. Just have NYC buzz in and tell them it wasn't a penalty

Trent Murphy when he wore a denim suit ?

They both went to William and Mary! Tomlin is 0-6 in his last 6 postseason games and they've allowed a whopping 38.3 points per game. The PIT offense has turned it over a bunch of times in those games, but that highly paid and ranked DEF has been awful as well.

What in the AI slop did I just read.... Life in the spotlight isn’t always glamorous. Recently, actress and singer Hailee Steinfeld has been making headlines for a deeply personal reason. She’s been candid about Hailee Steinfeld emotional struggles in her marriage to NFL star Josh Allen.
