The 4077th

Gotta have faith

Wow, something weird going on with the schedule on TBD, it brings up the 2022 schedule for me 🤷🏻‍♂️

Kincaid made some nice catches too

No. No. Noooooo. Benford exited the last 2 games he played with injuries (concussion). This is getting ridiculous. If true - time to trade for a CB.

Nice! I especially like those bolded above.

Meh….2023 7th rd pick

I like the looks of this practice squad, except I think they could do better at CB than Hardy…maybe still a chance with the last spot

I was curious on the PS details. At this time I thought I’d share with others who might not know all the details: When the COVID-19 pandemic shook up rosters in 2020, the NFL decided to expand practice squads to 16 players. With an exception: NFL teams can have 17 players on their practice squads, with one caveat: One practice squad member has to be a member of the NFL's International Pathway Program. Of the other 16, 10 must be rookies or second-year players. so, Up to six of the 17 players can have unlimited NFL experience, which is a big development in recent years. Previously, players could have no more than two accrued NFL seasons for eligibility. Every Tuesday, teams can designate four players as protected, so they can't be placed on another team's active roster from that day until kickoff. Two players can be promoted to the active roster on game days. Then they return to the practice squad, unless the team offers a one-year deal. Teams can't activate a player more than twice; after the second time, they must decide whether to promote him to the active roster.

Wow, did not see that coming. I guess they are getting the band back together. thinking on it, I guess I like him over Hamlin as a backup.

The Seahawks released Marquez Valdes-Scantling after they couldn't find someone to trade for the veteran receiver and the $2.5 million that remains on his one-year contract. From a financial standpoint, that had to be a tough move to make since he's guaranteed another $1.5 million on top of his $1.5 million signing bonus. But from a competitive standpoint, it was their only choice absent a trade. Seattle signed Valdes-Scantling to be their WR3 and to help replace some of the speed their offense lost in the DK Metcalf trade. But because he doesn't play special teams, he couldn't be any lower than that on the depth chart if he wanted to make roster. Rookie fifth-round pick Tory Horton clearly outperformed him over the summer to the surprise of no one at TBD…

Surprises? maybe: WR: Shavers made the 53, and so did Moore and Samuel OL : Lundt made the 53, Gouraige did not (I thought they really liked him) LB: Shaq Thompson made it. We didn’t see much of him…and Spector was Waived/injured. DB: kept Codrington - as a returner, because he stunk as a CB. And Dane Jackson was waived. And IR’ed Hairston. Is there another move coming? S: cut Forrest, there was hope he was gonna be a savior…kept Hancock I didn’t notice him- maybe that is a good thing. QB: cut both White AND Buechele…I guess that makes sense as only 1 goes to PS..

No way was I implying we should sign this “Booger”! somehow vengeance if he is done in the NFL…

#Panthers releasing edge rusher Boogie Basham, per source. Former second-round pick with the Bills.

IR rule changed. On cut day you can put 2 onto IR , designated to return.

This will definitely be an interesting 1st game. lines will have to play hard nosed football to stop the Ravens run game, and establish the Bills run game. Josh Allen factor = Lamar Jackson factor. i think the Ravens D is very good, Bills D still a work in progress. with Shakir out / limited , need Kincaid, Coleman , Cook and o line to step up early. Maybe see what Palmer can do, but I don’t expect much this week. How about double tight end sets to heavy the run game, with some Knox and Kincaid enabling a dink and dunk passing game? A close game with JA just that much more…Bills 34 to 31

Drop kick?

Announcer about Buchele: that guy has got some moxie!

The Oline (looked like Feney was first there), did get a good second effort pushing the pile to get Gore the TD. Didn’t notice anything else from them

Boat was Delivered in 2021…..before the stadium “deal”? articles written in 2025 are a little late.

Bring in Asante Samuel for a visit? I know right now the Bills are up against the cap, but may be time for some creative “financing”

Meanwhile: Howie Roseman and the Eagles continue playing chess above BB’s level. The Eagles are trading for former second-round receiver John Metchie III, a league source confirmed to NBC Sports Philadelphia on Sunday afternoon. According to ESPN, the Eagles are getting Metchie and a 6th-round pick, while the Texans are getting TE Harrison Bryant and a 5th-round pick. Bryant, who signed with the Eagles in free agency, was facing a numbers crunch and was unlikely to make the 53-man roster. So this is a low-risk, high-reward trade for Howie Roseman. It’s the second trade this summer for Roseman, who previously acquired CB Jakorian Bennett from the Raiders for DT Thomas Booker IV.

I guess rather than the snarky comments, I was thinking there might be enthusiasm, as it could help prolong Josh Allen’s career. And other older vets might see another advantage of playing in Buffalo. Less chances for Miller, Milano, White type injuries?

During the Brandon Beane interview last night, he commented on the new stadium will have a real grass field. I did not realize that! I am thinking that is a good thing for the players. opinions?
