After seeing the additional video angels this morning, what's everyone else's take? I can't see it as anything other than a deliberate act. With the training that goes into being a pilot of any aircraft, this just seems so off. Is that just my bias? The one that's closer and shows the plane going into the water is very hard to watch. Hard to fathom it's real life and not an action movie CGI effect.

The team needs the Jimmy's and the Joe's...

If you've ever played a sport beyond the high school level, you'd know that once the season starts, you're never truly healthy. The coaching staff often resorts to the familiar "are you injured or just hurt?" rhetoric. At this level, it’s not about the love of the game anymore—it’s about results. Injury or no injury, the only thing anyone remembers is the outcome. In this case, he was in position to make the play, and that’s what matters. On a side note, I’m sure Allen is dealing with more than just a broken hand right now, and the only reason we even know about it is because of his high-profile status. That said, I’d conservatively estimate that at least one-third of the league is playing through significant injuries. This is why the average NFL career lasts less than 3–4 years. Enough with the injury excuses—it’s just part of the game. I've wrestled with kids who were amazing athletes with PCL tears, missing ACLs and other debilitating injuries who performed at all-American status in a much more demanding forum. Sorry if I'm not sympathetic to an overhyped and over drafted millionaire who came up short.

Too soon on Coleman. We can thank Poyer for ruining the second half of his season. I think he had serious injury to both wrists.

Does the lingering knee issue make his hands go to sh!t? Poll the whole NFL at this time of the year. I suspect 1/3 of the players on the field are in rough shape.

This is from the Over the cap website. The simple non-second level moves were as follows: Allen - a simple restructure using a generic formula suggested by the site made about $9.9 million available. I think an extension could be even more impactful. Miller - post June 1 cut, ~$17+ million Jones - Post June 1 cut, ~ $4.5 million AJE - Post June 1 cut, ~$6 million Trubisky - Cut, $2.5 million If they wanted to cut Milano post June 1st, about another $9.5 million could be freed up. Hope this helps.

See my earlier explanation and hypothesis on how he was able to ascend to a first round grade, in this thread. He played the NFL/Bills. Our organization unfortunately fell for it. Good for him and his agent.

With not a lot surprise moves I was able to get them to 35+ million in cap space.

Sure handed? Also, that "catch" against Denver would have been overturned if they got a challenge in on time. "Usually sure handed" isn't how I'd describe him.

The Eagles did it last year, so it's possible. They changed a CB, Nickel and both safeties for this season. And somehow found an All-Pro LB on the market. The Bills just need teams as dumb as they are to let a guy fall to pick #40 that played at an all-pro level 3/4 of the year. If only they had a chance at Cooper DeJean 🤬

Can we hire the Rams defensive scout? They found rookies that provide better production than the Bills high priced JAGs.

Do we have a Dan Reeves situation here?

Can you send him the breakdown for TEs under the age of 24, DTs and DEs while you're at it? It would be a great favor for all of us. I had no idea Kincaid was a man playing against boys in college.

The two stud defensive lineman are a necessity. They can help cover up the garbage behind them. I had high hopes for Rousseau this year. Looks like they need to start over there too. AJE - The guy picks 2-3 games a year to show up and give us hope, then disappears to remind us all that we are stupid for having those thoughts.

How about that awful angle Hamlin took on the first drive? Douglas can only play zone and I'm not sure what Hamlin can actually do. Our best player in the secondary can't be a nickel corner.

He was already an older rookie when he entered the league, which likely means he peaked physically during his college years. In many cases, he was a man playing against boys—physically more developed and mature than his younger counterparts. The difference between being 22/23 years old versus 19/20 can be quite significant, even in subtle ways. At the college level, being slightly faster, stronger, and mentally more mature can provide a considerable edge. However, at his age, it’s unlikely there’s much room left for physical improvement or untapped potential. Now that he’s competing against fully developed professionals, his limitations have been exposed, and he seems to be just another guy (JAG). That’s fine in itself, but the issue lies in the resources and hype that were invested in acquiring him. Unfortunately, his performance so far hasn’t justified those expectations.

A sad and harsh reality for us fans. And this was a prospect that was traded up for.

He's soft. I agree, I do not see fight in him.

My god. We have eyes, it's not conjecture.

It's a catch old guys make during the Turkey bowl 9 out of 10 times. For an NFL player, yes, it's not a hard catch.

Unfortunately he can't carry Mike Gesicki's jock. Sad thing is MG was signed to 2.5 million dollar deal. If you're going to have a fake TE, at least get one that can catch and create mismatches.

Douglas was abused too. How lucky was he when Brown put is foot out of bounds on that comeback throw? Douglas was facing the wrong direction, and he comes in after waving his hands, giving the no catch sign. Like he had anything to do with it.

What has he shown you on the field that he's good at? It's the NFL, every one of these players this deep into the season is hurting, not one of them is 100%. He's got the anti clutch gene. Get what you can, while you can.

Samuel is on this roster next year, due to his contract. He's better than Kincaid at working the middle of the field anyway. Kincaid should not be keeping anyone else off the field, he does nothing above average.

How about his less than stellar effort blocking too? He was all around awful.
