I wonder if we don’t see Howie Roseman pull another card out of his hat and trade us a back up DT for Elam, who will obviously turn into a pro bowler in Philly.

No chance.

There’s a lot of college experience to look at. He’s no where near as bad as Davis, but you also need to realize a large part of why you don’t have a bigger sample size was the drop/ reception rate last year. In 20 targets he had 2 drops, 10% rate, and a 50% reception rate. His college experience shows similar track record. He’s got a lot of skills in the open field, but a great WR, he was not.

He’s dramatically improved, don’t get me wrong, he’s obviously put in work. I do think he can be a contributor. His catch rate is largely due to the “type” of catches he’s asked to make. He’s sitting in zones and catching simple crossers, they are “high percentage throws” by definition. He kind of looks like Diggs did early in Minn, he’s shifty, looks to have greatly improved his routes, where he fits is the question. I’m certainly not expecting him to make the jump Diggs did, that’s not a reasonable expectation, but anything close would be amazing.

Shakir’s hands are far from elite. If he can just catch the ball routinely, he can be a good player. Kincaid looks like an athletic Jason Whitten, not Travis Kelce, but he’s also got some serious room to add muscle. With time in the weight room and some technical refinement on blocking, he could become a similar player to Kelce.

Anybody know a grocery store to buy crow meat? I need to start cooking up my meal. He’s been very good and I was very wrong.

No, it’s to make it a risk for them to kick it. They miss w 16 seconds on the clock, Bills get it there w 2 time outs. If it’s just running down, snap it at 3 seconds, no risk if they miss, so essentially you give them a free opportunity to take points with no risk.

It forced them to NOT try the FG. If the clock is running to zero they can kick, if they try it and miss w time on the clock they give the Bills a good chance to score before the half.

I agree 90% of the way. Knox is a starter for a lot of teams, TE is almost as void of talent as QB around the league. His numbers are basically smack dab average and he’s an exceptional athlete. He would start on a good number of teams. Now that contract? My Gawd.

Agreed.. then you are either hyped for Sunday or in the pits because there is no hope. Unfortunately for me, my season is pretty much like the Bills, riding on Allen to score 28 a game.

Pretty exited for this game, about half my fantasy roster is going, going to be a big scoring week, I have Evans and White, who should both have career days and Allen, Kincaid and Davis, all who will score a lot trying to keep ahead of Baker.

I mean.. ok, but if you are going for that, talk to the Giants about renting Saquon for the year.

I don’t know what the deal is, or what’s happening behind closed doors. What I know is he looks like crap for basically every game outside of Miami this year. I know Diggs came into camp HOT over something going on w Josh and the Coaches. Regardless of what they spin it to be, I think evidence points to Diggs feeling JA isn’t playing to his ability and the coaches are holding him accountable.

Not a process guy, off the list!

No argument here and it cost them the Jets game. On the last pick when he had 25 yards of open field and no reason not to take the easy first down, he heaved it to double coverage and killed them. I don’t know wtf is going on with all of that, but he’s playing like a shell of the player we know he can be. Is it the coaching? I’m sure it is, but they said the same thing last year and he still took off and won games for us. This year it’s obviously different, so what clicked in his head? Whatever it is, it’s not for the better.

Question to that, how do we accelerate those guarantees to this year AND add another salary?

Absolutely. The need for a real 1 or at least someone who can play the role properly is so blatantly needed, it’s painful at this point.

I do think something is off with JA. I don’t know if it’s his attempt to play “boring football” and he feels like he can’t do that without remaining calm all the time or what. He has flashes of what we used to see with fire in his eyes and looking like he’s having fun playing the game out there. Aside from the Miami game, he doesn’t look the same. Maybe the weight of having to carry the team is getting to him. If he’s not perfect, the offense sputters, even if he does what he’s supposed to do, the defense has already let him down a couple times this year. Also, when you lose Tre, Milano, Jones etc all in one game, everyone knew the pressure was going to shift back to him even more, again. On one of the post game shows yesterday they were talking about it, Josh had responsibly for over 75% of the offense.. he can’t do it all. I don’t know if that’s the game plan or if Dorsey is trying to roll with what the game is giving him, but it’s still enormously reliant on JA being perfect. When he misses he’s persecuted, but he had what we are feeling wasn’t a good game and still had 66% completion percentage, even with 41% of his snaps being under pressure, that’s really good. We are asking for absolute perfection…. To beat a 1-5 team. Obviously, everyone is speculating, but JA is under more, not less pressure to carry this team, after an entire offseason of saying they had to take some of that away. I’d be pretty dejected too.

That’s extreme. I’m in.

Yep, was discussing this before the game.. I could easily see them missing the playoffs.

I am worried about this one, I could easily see the Pats catching some lucky bounces and the Bills O sputtering enough to get beaten. I sure hope I’m wrong, I’m rolling JA out as my fantasy QB this week (and every week), along w Davis so I’m hoping something works out.

I’m gonna go ahead and say no. For that math to check out, you would have to say Bernard is incrementally better than Edmunds, more so than Milano is better than Williams. Milano is an All-Pro, Williams is not close. As cool as it would be if he can make it to be a pro-bowler, there’s just no chance of closing that gap to Milano by the much in this season.

Doubt we’ll see him, but good for him, much nicer paycheck this week.

Ever heard of LIV Golf? Never count the Saudis out from trying to do something crazy and throw HUGE money at it. They could go after a guy like Williams and whoever might be coming up as FA for the year and flip stuff on its head real quick. Take away the young stars by offering more money than the NFL will.. get weird quick.

I agree, I think Hyde and Poyer are gone after this year, wouldn’t mind Hyde coming back on a reasonable deal like Poyer did, but Po looks cooked. AJE is going to get paid, make no mistake. Pass rushers get paid, he’s on pace for at least double digit sacks, he’s been batting down balls, causing havoc. While it’s great, the better he plays the remainder of the year, the less likely the Bills can pay him. Unless you consider 15+ a year “reasonable” he’s a goner. The Titans are in a tough spot. Supposedly, D-Hop wants to win, and they clearly aren’t going to, but they also need to know what they have at QB and that’s a lot harder to figure out with no targets to throw to. I’d venture to guess, they won’t trade him, he’s cheap and pretty valuable to them. Adams is just too much to make happen.
