Agreed. I am not saying they are a 7-8 win team. They are solid and on the rise. I just think we are way better this year and it will show. They will lose some games which you'd consider easy wins for them after SNF.

Spot on. And I'd say it is not only about the one game, I have a feeling that Bills not winning SB last 2-3 years made even posters who are otherwise very smart and rational way too skeptic and critical. Makes me love these forums less than before. God I hope we win one soon.

I find it crazy how PS guys can get this level of interest on these forums. We are talking about players who see the field so rarely that it doesn't matter. And I don't see any problem with bringing back guys who they know. It is not like they are "occupying a slot" instead of some NFL level players. There aren't such players, since those are on actual NFL rosters. Sorry Kirby but this thread is ridiculous.

Anything can happen but you are overestimating them. They lost to Steelers and Raiders managing to score grand total of 27 points combined. Diggs won't play like this every day. Maye won't play like this every day. Even with our 3 turnovers, we win that game 8 out of 10 times. They were good and lucky. We win 13+, they win 11 at best. Oh and we won't lose to them again this year.

Van Noy played against Texans

McD played this one like a pro. Lost to Pats so they can get in instead of the Chiefs. That's a hell of a 4D chess right there.

Yeah we are committing turnovers and penalties but Benford, White and T. Johnson playing really bad tonight is a huge factor too.

Well Dolphins - Panthers announcer was too enthusiastic but on the other side Romo and Nantz sounded like they don't care at all.

Wow Rico Dowdle, a guy I've never head of, has 206 rushing yards against Dolphins already

Tie it?

I am just saying it is a little wierd. There is some standard in NFL announcing and this guy surely is different.

Eagles and Broncos might have a word with you...

Is it me or the announcer at the Dolphins game is a little more enthusiastic than he should be?

They will win some meaningless games like they always do, and let Titans pick first.

Bet before today they won't make PO. Odds were 3,83:1 (not sure what does it mean in US betting system). Seemed like free money to me. They will be 1-4 today, then have Rams, Bears, @Dolphins, @Vikings, @Browns. At best they will be 10-7. Steelers are always 9-8 without a QB, they'll be 11-6 with Rodgers.

Don't tell that to @HappyDays

That's not it. Their cap numbers haven't changed IIRC.

Bumping this with quick question: My fellow nerds who lurk Sportrac from time to time, anybody has an idea what they changed last couple of days? 2 days ago the had us about $2M over, and now they have us $2.8M under. Anybody knows where did that come from? Is there a new restructure? I don't see any and I don't see any other reasonable option. But I am sure they did something lol. @DrDawkinstein @ColoradoBills @BillsFanForever19

Did we elevate someone? I am not able to find it.

Agree that it is hard to judge RB when he gets random touch here and there. It seems that it applies to Davis as well. Last year he started one game vs Jets when Cook was down, and he was really good once he got some flow. But like Gunner said, if he needs flow more that some other backup RBs, then we need someone else, since he will never get consistently going behind Cook. And I disagree about him not missing holes. I watches All22 of two games. In Baltimore game he missed one hole early, and after that was doing fine. In Saints game he had 2&4 during that infamous drive, and to my eye he missed the hole between McGovern and Cybo and went to the right. I'd say it's a first down if he just went through that hole.

Hmm Williams is injured? I must've missed that one. He finished the game, right?

To be fair to Davis IIRC he also looked pedestrian last season with limited touches, and then one game (at Jets?) when Cook was out he got 15+ carries and looked really good. So maybe he just needs some rhythm. On a related topic, I re-watched 3 snaps before that 4th down failure and here are my thoughts: 1st down - Cook makes 6 yards out of nothing, should've been 2 yards max. 2nd down - Davis runs hard and gains 3 yards, but I think he missed the first hole between McGovern and Cybo and it would've been first down if he just hit that hole. 3rd down - Johnson has no vision at all and just runs to the wall of bodies. One simple cut to outside and he gains 1st down no problem. Cooks gets that one for sure. Can anybody have a look on 2nd and 3rd downs if they agree?

My random thought is that after watching little bit of All22 again that even though Josh is fantastic he is also a human and makes simple mistakes sometimes. In our 4th drive (3rd one was the INT) on 3rd down he scrambled to the right and had wide open Ty Johnson right in front of him and from no reason at all he chose much harder throw to Samuel 20 yards further who slipped and we punted. OL was really much worse than before fwiw. Van Demark in the first place, but Torrence was also beat to his inside shoulder at least once. EDIT: Forgot to add that I saw 3 plays when Kincaid was open downfield but Josh didn't have time in the pocket to find him. One more second and big plays are there.

He was

This offseason he had ONE, I repeat ONE option to do what you want him to do - trade for Metcalf. And we have no idea if that trade was even on the table for the Bills. Maybe he didn't want to go to Buffalo. We don't know. And it would still require crazy contract. Or tell me what other options Beane had. I am not saying it was completely impossible to do something, but it's not like Beane had a ton of options and decided to ignore them.
