The Red King

Let me think abo...no.

Has anyone said that? Most outright state "I would have preferred Blackmon..."

IIRC Houston can't use the Oilers/Oil well, as the Titans still own the rights to the Oilers. Isn't that why it was such as slap in the face when the Titans wore the Oilers throwbacks against the Texans last season?

Oklahoma isn't cold? We get more snow, but lake-effect keeps it warmer. Midwest gets real cold. Take it from someone that grew up in Nebraska!

Still need a deep threat, or opposing teams will just pinch in and cover short to mid. Gotta stretch that D.

Love this move. Now draft a speed demon WR to stretch the field and with Allen's cannon arm he can suddenly threaten anywhere on the field. Would be very tough to defend.

And how was our defense in the Divisional Round? I seem to recall losing starters in all three levels of defense, and attrition from there. Not to mention I think three players (punter included) getting injured in the Wild Card the week before. In 2022 we lost Von Miller, who was playing fantastic, Tre and Milano. Knox, I think? Oh, and of course, we had a player outright die on the field. Allen, while playing all games, did not look the same at all after injuring his elbow in the Green Bay game. This isn't a thread I made to lament injuries though. It was simply an honest question of, is the organization doing anything to try and cut back on these injuries, and is there even anything that could be done? That's all.

Please, please tell me you're kidding. 😆

Just curious if those in the know, know if Buffalo is changing anything about their conditioning program. Yes, every team has injuries, but Buffalo was absolutely crippled by them, both in number and the quality of player taken down. And it's been two seasons in a row now. To be clear, I'm asking seriously. I'm no doc, or that knowledgable about the specifics of the different injuries or how teams handle this kind of stuff. I know it's been bad luck, and I honestly don't know if there is anything we could change/improve to try and help cut down on them. I think this team can go all the way, and would hate to see a third straight season sniped by yet another epidemic of injuries. I hope we're not playing overseas this year. And I'm not thrilled we're at Detroit again. Hope their turf doesn't claim more victims. >.>

Wasn't Oliver being double-teamed b/c whatever the rest of the line was, wasn't doing jack? Real hard to get to the QB when the O can just focus on one guy.

I gotta think this has to be tied to him holding for Bass.

Why do some people keep handwaving his injury? Dude was playing solid football until the Detroit turf reached up and bit him. His pressure sealed a win against KC two years ago. I say this because some people talk like he never did anything for us and his production just fell off a cliff due to age. Now, his age+injury is a concern. He may well be done. But with all this extra time he might just come back strong. No way to know. That's why I really like this contract. I think I'm okay giving him each chunk of money at its respective tier, and more then happy to give him all that money if he gets all those sacks and gets us to the Super Bowl.

Miller pressured Mahomes into throwing a pic that sealed a Bills' win over KC two years ago. That's just one example. People seem to forget Von actually looked good until he got injured. Can he bounce back this year? We'll see. But stop saying he never did anything for the Bills. Wanna blame something? Blame that garbage turf in Detroit.

Not surprised. Josh is more bullish then nimble when running. Works great on the field, but not so much when playing Tag.

Sorry. I might have gone a bit over the top. Just getting real tired of seeing Von Miller brought up in threads where it's irrelevant over and over. Talking about a bad coaching move? Compare it to VM. Talk about another player's contract? Someone's gotta bring up VM. It's not just you, I know. But as I go through theads here, no matter what they're about, I wait for someone to mention him. And it almost always happens.

Please tell me you're kidding. You're honestly claiming the VM deal was worse then the Wilson trade? I get it, you don't like the VM deal and saw another opportunity to b...complain...about it in an unrelated thread, but dear god. Yeah, I don't see Broncos fans going, "Yeah, that Wilson deal was terrible, cost us top draft picks, saddled us with dead cap hell, but at least we're not Buffalo! I mean did you see that Von Miller deal? Now those guys are screwed!"

Hey, in his defense he was playing injured (happened when PIT blocked the FG). I have no idea why they thought playing him instead of signing someone off the PS (or streets) for that game was a good idea. Wasn't the poor punter's fault.

That cap hit is brutal. For that much, I'm shocked they wouldn't just keep him this season while breaking in a new/future QB. Instead, they just went full scorched Earth on him.

A Tua-led offense reminds me of our Frazier-run defenses. Capable of wrecking mid-to-low tier teams. But if the opponent can counter (in this case by forcing Tua to go past his first read), they are simply unable to adjust. We're seeing their ceiling with Tua. I think with high-enough seeding they can win a home playoff game, but will never reach the AFCCG unless they are the #1 seed, which I don't see happening.

We need a speed receiver to stretch the field. We get a fast enough one and pair him with Allen's arm-cannon, *any* pass play can be a potential TD. Opposing Ds will have to account for that.

Do the XFL rules allow for an onside kick?

On its own? Can't answer, too vague. How good were the Bills? How about their opponent? What was the final score? Were there turnovers (Buf turns the ball over four times, that's not on the coach). Were we in position for a winning chip-shot FG we shanked. Did McD blow the game through poor clock management? Did he play it too safe and punt on 4th and 3 with one minute left? Too many variables.

People here were all too quick to throw him to the wolves without a shred of evidence. And, once cleared of all wrongdoing, just left him there. Should have signed him the day after we got eliminated. You know he's gonna light it up, steal a game or two for them, and kill us at some point late in a game where they run it three times to kill the clock and then cannon a punt to bury us deep when we need a score and there's, like, thirty seconds left. We deserve this. This is karma. Good for Matt. He didn't deserve any of this, and once cleared didn't deserve to keep sitting and waiting. I actually hate KC a little less for this.

I think extremism is the issue in this thread. * No, injuries were not the only thing wrong with the Bills. It's wrong to say that the team was perfectly fine and would have easily gone undefeated w/o injuries. * It is, however, equally ignorant to say that those injuries were a "non-factor" that all teams had to deal with. Buffalo had a lot of key injuries, and came into that KC game decimated in comparison.

Diggs' dead-cap hit this season would be higher then what we're actually paying him. It would quite literally cost us more to get rid of him.
