That was last year my guy.
move on
I forgot playoff games mean more than the second game of the year.. my bad..
The Bills were just over .500 at one point last year and half the fan base had written them off as pretenders too.. just an observation.
Just now, Big Turk said:I forgot teams actually punt...
I was so disappointed when we gave up on a 4th and 1 😂, I know why, but I had some seriously stupid hopes of a puntless year.

Do you have to keep up with this talk? What is with you?
I’m a realist.. homers gonna homer.. the Bills are forever going to be known for the team that ***** the bed in :13, the Browns collapsed in the second game of the season which took multiple fluke plays. Guess who will remember that one? Nobody. I know Buffalo fans feel like the cool kids for the day, but 3 games ago the team choked like a cheap hooker. You can’t claim to be infallible and judge a team who also blew a lead that was as easy as doing the right thing (Chubb could easily have fallen before the goal line and run the time out).

He's the plus version of Sammy Watkins. Never lived up to his draft position, has supreme physical talent that he doesn't usually live up to, teams can't wait to be rid of him, occasionally goes off in a game or two, and in general he is pretty dumb.
I don’t think he’s THAT useless, he’s had a couple years of really good play. His career kinda parallels Crabtree thus far.-

The defense allowed two touchdowns in under 2 minutes. Even after the onside recovery, they still could have stopped them and they didn't.
They allowed Flacco to move the ball from the 47 yard line to score the go ahead TV in 50 some seconds.
Sounds so familiar.. like giving the opponent extra time and then giving up 50 yards in 13 seconds.. crazy.

Well they were actually down 3 and just needed a FG so only needed to get in FG range. It was a ***** up to be sure. But a good team doesn't let the Jets do that to them.
Flukes happen.. end of the day, no Bills fan will ever have an argument about holding up late in the game again. Wide right held up for years.. now we have :13.. I sure as ***** hope that failure just leads to 3 straight SB wins.

You mean in a really close game between two really good teams? That's your comparison?
Complete fluke situations.. tell me any time you would say, “kicking the ball off with 13 seconds, the opponent needs a TD to go ahead” you think there’s a chance. No different than “ up 13, kicking off with 1:55 to go” you think there’s a chance.
stupid ***** happens.
Brissett isn’t great, but their run game is and their D is under achieving thus far, this is a better version of last year’s Patriots. They will be in the playoffs.

I think the Browns could go 2-6 in their next 8.
Falcons, Chargers, Pats, Ravens, Bengals, Dolphins, Bills and Bucs.
I think you should be prepared to be really wrong.

Didn't they just lose to the Jets?
Yeah, didn’t the Bills lose to the Chiefs on some fluke BS too?
Up 2 scores under 2 mins to go, complete fluke. They SHOULD have simply fallen down and won the game.. sounds similar to what the Bills SHOULD have done too.

I know people dismissed the Browns after the whole Baker / Raper thing, but this team is going to the playoffs.

The Browns are going to be a problem in the AFC, they can run you over and throw it over you (with a real QB). Even with Brissett, they are going to be a playoff team.

Yeah, I was never interested in CMC this offseason, but was very interested in Barkley. I thought if we could say flip Devin or Moss and like a 4th round pick for him, it was something I would have pulled the trigger on.
At the same time, I am definitely a believer in Devin, so I am not worried about the run game too much. I mean our lack of run game is strictly by choice, not from the lack of ability too. Devin has shown he is quite good when given the opportunities, but the pass game has just been decimating defenses and unstoppable, so they really haven't needed to run much yet. But when we do, I really like our new blocking scheme and think Devin can be even better when given sufficient rush attempts like he was the last part of the season last year and playoffs.
I just wish they would stop rotating Moss in, let Devin take those rush attempts, it's not like he has a heavy workload. I also can't wait to see Cook get more involved too, still think he will be a nice weapon for us as the season wears on.
I absolutely agree, they need to give Motor all the carries. It’s not like they are running 30 times a game. He’s getting the load of a team that splits carries and STILL giving some up 😂.On the other side of things, I think Cook should be inactive. He can’t pass protect, he can’t run between the tackles and because he can’t do either, he’s only in there to catch out of the backfield and everyone in the building knows it, which means he’s nothing more than a slot WR who lines up in the wrong spot. Until he can offer SOMETHING besides being a pass catcher, he needs to either play out of the slot (no room for that on this team) or not dress. He’s a wasted roster spot. Adding to this, Moss should also be flat out cut and bring Duke Johnson back to take his spot as a guy who is a decent runner, better pass catching back and can at least keep JA from being destroyed.

Hopefully, it’s a situation where he feels fine and McClappy says he can’t play unless the doctors clear him, the docs aren’t sure and he wants to get his own voice.

My bad, you are correct, I was mistakenly thinking about Saquan when both were being talked about during the offseason. Thanks for catching that.
Ok, so yeah...0% chance IMHO we would trade for CMC then. If the one year rental is off the table, there is just no way we will absorb any contract at RB given we have other important players contracts looming as it is.
I was hoping we would make a move for Saquon last off-season, if we could have stolen him for a late pick when the Giants were being stupid, he would have been a nice piece to add for this year. Maybe he ends up on a prove it deal next year and we get a nice rental player.2 minutes ago, LabattBlue said:Did you read the post of the person I replied to?
I took what they were saying as, OBJ would be an upgrade to Kumero and a nice insurance policy, meaning a #3 possibly 2. I think people grossly over estimate Davis vs the real elite players in the league. I’m saying OBJ would instantly (if healthy) be #2 to Diggs the way he was to Kupp last year.

You think OBJ wants to come here as a depth player, and be happy sitting on the bench game after game?
He’s not going to be sitting if he’s healthy, he’s going to be on the field as the #2 option.
-
To the point of the OP, I’m going for OBJ all day, he’s a player at a position of absolutely zero depth. IDGAF what the homers think, beyond the starters, we don’t have a single player on the outside that’s anything more than a replacement level player. Davis has never been more than a mediocre #2, I know there are high hopes/expectations, but he’s never done it. So the reality is it’s Diggs and a bunch of Jags, until Davis proves he’s more than that. Even so, if Diggs goes down, there’s nobody who’s even remotely capable of making up for that. To have the opportunity to put OBJ out there with Diggs and Davis would be awesome, to know if somebody gets hurt, you have a REAL second option is priceless to a team w Championship aspirations.

Honestly, I wouldn't be surprise to see either happen, although I feel like CMC would be significantly less likely. We can actually fairly easily fit him in here cap wise this season, but he is a one year rental, they are not going to pay him next year as Free Agent no matter how good he plays. This is a passing offense, 0% chance they invest in a RB contract wise. With that being known, I can't see Beane giving up a valuable draft asset we will need (and they keep succeeding with) to keep young talent coming into this roster with all the player contracts we have given out to keep or add important players.
Plus Devin has shown to be very good for us when given rush attempts, we just haven't rushed the ball. Not saying he is on CMC level, but its not like we have a problem rushing the ball, its that we just don't do it very often. But the reason I said I still won't be surprised if we traded for CMC (even though I think its very unlikely) is because I do feel like Beane is all in on a Super Bowl this year...so he may say F it and just pull the trigger if he felt that got us over the top.
So...coming back to all this, I think the most plausible scenario is OBJ obviously, but even that is not a certainty.
Actually he is not expensive this year, and we can easily fit him in. That being said, I think there almost no chance we trade for him for reasons I already posted. But just saying the cost part of it isn't really relevant because we can fit him in and this is the last year of his deal.
This is not the last year of his deal, he’s signed through 2026, it’s probably not even the last year he will see on this deal, it would be 18M in dead cap to cut/trade him next season too.
There’s no way the Bills would take on his deal, I’m not sure anybody would honestly.

Mahomes had a PLAYOFF team backing him up FFS.
He had a #1 and # 2 WR
The Bills had who?
Zay Jones and McKitrich
Bob Foster and Ray Ray

Okay...they looked as good as Blackshear did in preseason. Or is that argument only valid with Blackshear. Both CBs drafted in this draft are starting. It is not a thin position. We've got better CB depth than any team in the league. Cook did not sit behind, I think you're talking about White. They split carries. Both backs were used by Georgia, rather effectively, I might add. The speed of the game in the Pros is faster. RBs need to learn quite a lot when they make the jump. He's had a handful of carries thus far...and you want to judge his career on that?
I see your Homerism will not be reasoned with, good day, Go Bills!-

Well if a player is really one the team does not want to lose they can offer to pay him a bonus to not sign with another team.
The minimum pay for being on the active roster is HUGE in comparison to practice squad, most players will take it.
33 minutes ago, BananaB said:One less RB they can shove into the rotation. Last year a two man rotation didn’t work so they cut it down to me one and had success. This year they come out with a three man rotation and it looks to be our weakness again.
Gotta love it. McClappy makes me want to McSlappy him for personnel choices at times. RB is one he sure hasn’t gotten right yet.
2 hours ago, Bleeding Bills Blue said:How much time does Cook need to learn?
Buffalo tends to draft for traits. You highlighted everything he struggles with and literally said nothing positive about him.
- Fast - 4.42 speed, but also it seems like its a fairly sudden speed out of his blocks.
- Patience - doesn't just blaze right into his blocks
- Solid hands - mismatch against LBs
- Cuts - Has the ability to make cuts with speed to gain additional yards
None of which matters when you can’t get on the field because you can’t block and the fact he doesn’t offer anything from a running perspective means they basically drafted a slot WR who lines up funny.
Hope I’m wrong, but based on the current track record of RBs in the McBeane era, I’m betting I’m not.

damn. I would have to rewrite my last post. 😞
my point standssome stats are useless
How many games was Tua benched?
How many games was Josh benched?
please
Lol, if the Bills had Fitz, Josh wouldn’t have started, so that comparison is also useless. JA had no business playing his rookie year and it was obvious. What we got to see is what would have happened if Maholmes played his rookie year AND you took away the whole team in front of him 😂

And one pass for 7 yards in the second game of the season.
As to the rest of your post...Moss and Cook are good backs. Cook just needs more time to learn. Blackshear looked great in preseason but that was against backups, so you can really gauge. He may well end up being a good back.
CB and LB in the second? We drafted two of each and those 4 players are looking very good right now, so your argument is lost on me.
I trust Beane and McD more than the average fan. Teller was a mistake that they readily admit. I think they do know how to draft, though as evidenced by the end result.
How would you classify the LBs “looking good” based on the fact they haven’t been on the field outside of garbage time?
CB is easily the thinnest position on the roster, you can’t see how we could use another top talent there?
How much time does Cook need to learn? He couldn’t start at Georgia, sitting behind a back that’s barely hanging on to a roster spot in the NFL. Yeah, he’s got a couple of nice traits, but he’s never done anything with them. He’s a pass catching back, that offers zero versatility, no blocking and is useless between the tackles, sounds like a hell of a 2nd round pick. I know you think you got Dalvin Cook, but you got Cooper Manning and don’t recognize it yet.

At this point, there’s not even a borderline starter on the roster outside of Motor. Have to do something.

In other news the Bills third string running back (Cook) had 53 yds on 11 Carry’s against a regular season NFL defense with Case Keenum under center
Apparently you missed the part where TN pulled most of their key guys too. That became the 4th preseason game. He also looked terrible between the tackles yet again.
