I could be reading spotrac incorrectly, but it looks like we would trigger 45mm in dead cap by trading Diggs. He is 100% untradeable for that reason alone. Diggs is the same diva he's been all 8 years in the league. We just have to deal with it PS - he's worth the headache

Far and away the best run-game coordinator out there. Only 1 season outside of the top 5 in rushing yards (his first season where SF finished 8th). God awful in the passing game though. Would be interesting to see what he could do with a throwing QB. If Dorsey gets a HC offer I would consider taking a look at Roman.

No, Josh didn't lead the league in INTs. Dak had 15 INT in 12 games. Mills had 15 INT in 15 games. I'm including games played to illustrate that the 2 QBs with more INTs did so in fewer games. For OP: do you have how many of the aborted snaps happened with Morse at C as opposed to a backup ? I remember at least a few of these that did have Morse

I think it was a combination of many factors 1) Lots of incompletions 2) Not many running plays 3) Lots of official reviews 4) Injuries 5) Not many sustained drives 6) Dolphins routinely using every second (and then some) of the playclock. The game was taking so long that CBS even started skipping some TV timeouts!

I'm somewhere between Daboll and Shanahan. The G-men have been a joke of a franchise in recent years and pre-season expectation was probably ~5 wins. Daboll turned them into a legit playoff contender and resurrected Daniel Jones career. Shanahan came in with high pre-season expectations, but then had his #1 AND #2 QB get injured. He now has the team setup as legit superbowl contenders with a rookie 7th rd draft pick starting for half the season.

After watching the Bills/Dolphins game 40% After watching Ravens/Bengals game 60%

I've had a lot of negative reactions to my rankings, but have yet to see anyone give a reason why that's wrong. Maybe I should've swapped the 49ers and Cowboys. 1) Cowboys: A 10 possessions: 5 TD, 4 punts, and end of game 2) 49ers: A 10 possession: 4 TD, 4FG , 1 punt, and end of game 3) Giants: A 9 possessions: 4 TD, 1 FG, 2 punts, end of half and end of game 4) Vikings: A- 8 possessions: 3 TD, 1 FG, 3 punts, turnover on downs 5) Bills: B 16 possessions: 4 TD, 2 FG, 3 turnovers, 5 punts, turnover on downs, and end of game Are we curving these grades based on quality of the defense we're playing against? That's the only consideration I could see for MAYBE moving the Bills up this list. It's not like Miami has a good defense.

I was getting flashbacks to Jarvis Landry on Aaron Williams.

How could it not be the most viewed when the game was 4 hours long? In all seriousness it's how exciting JA is to watch (the good and the bad) in combination with the Damar incident.

The Vikings only had 8 possessions and had 3 TD, 1 FG, 3 punts, and a turnover on downs. The Bills had 16 possessions and had 4 TD, 2 FG, 3 turnovers, 5 punts, a turnover on downs, and a clock killing drive. Vikings offensive performance was better than the Bills, and I don't think it's all that close. Kirk throwing it short of the sticks on 4th down to end the game was hilariously bad, but I'm trying to rate their game as a whole, not just 1 play.

Not sure why we're excluding the Cowboys/Bucs game I'd rate the offensive performances as: 1) Cowboys 2) 49ers 3) Giants 4) Vikings 5) Bills Those other teams might not have had the explosive plays that we did, but they moved the ball more efficiently and didn't commit turnovers.

I stand corrected, but it's a mistake either way

Are we talking about the Saints game that they rushed the ball 48 times for 298 yards and 6 TDs? Tyrod had a crap game but the DEF was soooooo much worse. The Bills were 5-4 after that game and in the thick of the playoff hunt. Benching Tyrod for a rookie 5th round pick Peterman was one of the worst sit/start decisions made in Bills franchise history (with the benefit of hindsight it might be THE worst). To get back on topic.... Letting Hodgins get sniped from our PS and replacing him with Beasley/Brown was a major mistake. Beasley/Brown almost cost us this game. In the first half on a combined 4 targets they had 0 receptions for 2 INTs and a failed 4th down conversion. THREE turnovers on FOUR targets. That's difficult to comprehend. Beasley somewhat redeemed himself in the 2nd half, but that was not nearly enough to make up for the catastrophic 1st half.

Yea... I would need to know who he was talking to and what they were talking about. A teams QB doing everything he can to improve and win more games is normally a good thing.

That's fair enough. I think this will be a very challenging offseason for Beane. With Allen's contract kicking in we're already over the 2023 cap with only 39 active roster players. We have 4 basic routes for the pass rush 1) Free Agency - this would require a ton of contract restructuring to bring in a difference maker. Particularly if we keep Edmunds and/or Poyer. 2) Draft - can we really afford to allocate more draft capital to the defense? Our offense has been neglected for years and is bad outside of Allen/Diggs. If we replace those 2 guys with league average players this would easily be a bottom 10 offense 3) Trade? - this is a tough option. We don't have extra draft capital and I don't want to trade any of our quality players. Getting mid round picks for our rotational guys isn't going to move the needle in obtaining a quality pass rusher. 4) Stand pat and hope Von Miller returns at 100% and/or other guys currently on the roster (IE Basham, Epenesa) improve. Personally I'm leaning option 4, but it does depend on who is available at our draft picks. I'd like to see our draft picks heavily weighted towards O-Line or WR but if there's a fantastic pass rusher there we should pick that guy. I don't think anyone would complain if we draft another Groot late in the 1st.

I'm all for unloading those guys, but what type of value would we get? I have a hard time believing we'd get better than a 4th for either of them I think the plan for pass rush next season just needs to be cross your fingers and hope Von Miller returns to play at the level he was prior to the injury.

Depending on context sometimes you really want Skylar to give you a hard time

Not a big surprise here. The Von Miller signing was our "all in" moment. We're not screwed for the future like the LA Rams though

As with many scandals it's not about the actual transgression, it's about the coverup. If Vincent had explained his actions and thought process (and perhaps apologized) this would be a non-story. His initial reaction was to follow the rule book and say the game should continue. Then, after the situation progressed and he had more discussions with Bills/Bengals/other NFL officials he ultimately agreed that the game should be postponed. Instead he's lying about it and saying he never once said the game had to resume. That's why this is a story and why he looks like a major asshat.

I think my issue with this team is that we're not playing up to our potential. The last time we brought our "A game" on both sides of the ball in the same game was week 5 vs Steelers when we were leading 31-3 at HALFTIME. Since then there's been a lot of up and down on both sides of the ball. There's been a few "A" performances by the offense and a few by the defense, but it hasn't happened in the same game.

It's not up to the NFL - the decision rests with Miami team doctors and the independent neurological consultant. Bills at -10 though... Vegas certainly seems to think there's no chance Tua is playing and Vegas is normally right.

I think it's concerning. I have a really hard time seeing us beat the Bengals or Chiefs if our DEF plays like that.

We're objectively worse than the Chiefs even though we beat them head to head on the road ? That's a take I guess

Everyone is at risk for commotio cordis and it's not something that you can really manage. It's an exceptionally rare combination of being hit with enough force in the exact right spot at the exact right millisecond. If that does end up being the final diagnosis I see no reason why he couldn't return to the NFL. Chris Pronger suffered from commotio cordis in '98 after being hit in the chest with a puck and played in the NHL another 10+ seasons.

I'm still mad at McD for benching him in the Chargers game. I wanted to see 10 INTs in 1 game
