Ave separation per nextgenstats (overall league rank): Shakir - 4.1 yards (7th) Kincaid - 3.4 yards (32nd) Keon - 2.9 yards (63rd) Palmer - 2.2 (100th)

Not if you have intel that he’s not going to be taken, meanwhile you have him rated best / best for what you’re looking for.

I still don’t get this critique. We just extended Shakir 4/60M. We followed up Samuel 3/24M with Palmer 3/29M. And we drafted Keon. Bills heavy investment has been in their QB, Oline, RB, and TEs. We’ve built the offense around these positions, and despite that they’ve still invested in WR. You can’t invest in everything. You appear to be taking issue with their fundamental philosophy of how to build a successful offense in 2025, rather than specifically underinvestment at WR which they’ve clearly invested in. I don’t think your argument even makes sense tbh unless looked at from the context that they’ve screwed up philosophically to the point that they don’t even understand the core competencies of their best players (i.e. Daboll>Brady).

People need to remember Keon is Josh tax. This was his pick, or at least someone he campaigned for (before signing his second extension). Telling Josh No in that spot is easier said than done. Edit: it’s a little like when LeBron had “war room” meetings with potential Lakers FA summer of 2021 and picked Westbrook, and then LeBron fans all blamed Pelinka when it didn’t work out. No. With Kincaid having so much success this year as a big slot, it’s tough to see Keon’s short-term impact dramatically improving. We can still hold out hope he matures and slowly learns his position before his rookie contract expires.

I tend to think the wheels need to come off way worse for Ravens to consider that. Some guys on IR but lots just banged up and will be back in a week or two, including Lamar. Fully healthy, that team could win every game including SB. Us trading for CB is dependent on Strong’s prognosis imo. Even if Hairston comes back and looks good, that’s still only three boundary corners including Tre who looks like he’s playing safety half the time cause his cushion is so large. Dorian looked like a keeper. Huge loss imo.

We need to do a better job of recognizing when teams are in base defense and if so audibling out of the run and into something that has the chance of completing downfield.

Josh had guys open both 2nd and 3rd down early in the play. Super frustrating.

Thank goodness for Shaq Thompson. That guy is low key saving our defense.

We deserve to lose this one

Terrible decision

Nice job by Josh hanging in there and finding Knox. Looked like he was going to bail early but thought better of it.

Not only are we not getting push, but NE is in our backfield a lot

This has all the makings of turning into the Steph Diggs revenge game. We should have seen this coming.

Sean wants more complimentary football so expect Cook to get the ball more.

We used up all our time outs so NE could have enough time to score. Well done.

This game is rigged by NFL. No other explanation for all these BS one-sided holding calls.

*****

Counter: these holding calls are BS

This is crazy. Goodell in Hochuli's ear piece to start this one.

Drake Maybe

Another Hochuli who likes the sound of his own voice a little too much

I think we have to consider trading for someone now. Losing Hairston so early on - who knows how far behind he really is - and now Strong who looked like he could've been CB2 full time if needed...Ingram and Lewis are better nickle/dime guys.

I'm still on the fence about Brady as a play caller but in terms of the direction we've moved our offense - run oriented, tough, multiple TE/HB alignments - for which I have to assume Brady has had significant input, he's been great for us there.

Interesting that so many here are still calling him a 3T even though he’s lining up as a 1T at least half the time if not more to my eye. Walker can play both. I’m not sure what more a 4th rounder needs to show to be considered an immediate hit. Even if all he ever is is a quality 3rd DT (what he’s already giving us now), that pick is a winner. Fans are going to freak out when we inevitably have to pay to replace Daquan in FA next year but I’m in Walker and feel like between him and Ed and whatever we can get out of Sanders, our DT room is going to be a big plus for years to come.

Bills are more likely to extend Knox than trade him.
