[Will Ford be on the roster week 17?]

12 minutes ago, eSJayDee said:

He was a 2nd round pick.  At the time, I don't think anyone was calling it a reach (some even considered it a "steal" as I recall).  He's still on his rookie contract so he's got a reasonable cap #.  Ideally, he gets "injured" & we can save the roster spot.  Otherwise, come off-season, he's probably worth a low draft choice for someone to kick the tires.  By virtue of this logic, I hope he's still on the team.  That said, I hope he doesn't see the field.

Just cut him and move on, he’s not getting it 3 years later, he’s not going to.

Then that proves it. Our OL is the worst in the NFL. Daryl's sleep walk was hilarious. Beane has to completely dismantle this disgraceful group. Our RB's are garbage but our OL quit today. Coaches sucked today and so did JA. You can kiss any MVP goodbye. 

Don’t disagree 

[Offensive Line is Garbage]

Ford is the worst player in the league, not exaggerating, he should be cut before they get on the plane.  Honestly, how can they keep him on the roster?

[Where will Odell end up?]

The Chiefs make sense if they can find a way to fit him under the cap.

 

Of the teams with room, Seahawks should be calling, Steelers and Bengals all could justify him as a missing piece.

So....it looks to me on the naked eye test that Groot has a hell of a lot more then 3 pressures in the other games.....am I wrong?

He seems to be around the ball a lot, but the stats can be a little deceiving.

Zero chance of this happening.  

I fear as much, hopefully he gets an overwhelming offer in FA and save the Bills like all the other mediocre LBs fans clung to.  Won’t be this off-season, but I can still have hope for the next year.

Wish our punter had the leg our kicker has.

Yep, worst move of the off-season, other than not addressing the G position.

[Blockbuster trade?]

Just now, NewEra said:

LB?  Are you serious?  We play nickel 99% of the time.  Milano and Edmunds aren’t going to be replaced gone we trade for.  Did you mean G and CB?  We could upgrade cb2…..but I don’t see any reason to upgrade Lb

CB would be nice too, but yes, a LB is still needed and I pray the McD sees what everyone else does in Edmunds and has the balls to replace him in the off-season.

[Blockbuster trade?]

Find a G or LB or Both, that’s the weakness of this team.

[If we get to the SB...any fear of Tampa Bay?]

My biggest “fear” for this team is not making a move and having to ever run Cody Ford on the field again.  A turnstile at least bottlenecks people enough to slow them, he can’t even do that.  If he gets on the field vs that line, Allen will look like Maholmes in the SB.  Something HAS to be done to make sure he never makes it out there again.  The Phins stayed in the game for 3Q because of the OL, can’t have that against a real team.

I think to poach a PS player, you have to put them on the active roster.  Are Russell Okung or Mitchell Schwartz worth a 10 game rental?

Hell yes.  The G position is going to kill the O if they have to run Ford out there.  Frankly, he should be off the roster by EOD today and never come back.   There are street FAs that are better options.

[What are your thoughts on Ed Oliver?]

He had a nice game yesterday, gotta have more of that play or he can officially be labeled as a rotational DT with nice upside. Not the guy you pay 15M or a top 10 pick for.  Thought it was a bad pick at the time and I stand by that.  I think this regime has just a little too much pride to not pick up his option, but unless he completely breaks out, they should not.  
 

He joins the growing list of guys they have over drafted and given too much opportunity to.   Thus far, only Allen has been the only early round pick worthy of the position picked.  Edmunds, Ford, Oliver, Eppenessa, and Basham are all looking bad in terms of their production vs the picks to get them.  It’s early on Boogie and Epp, I’ll say Groot looks like a real good pick, but this had better be his floor, not ceiling.  If he keeps growing, that’s going down as a great pick.    If we really get down to it, the first 3 rounds have not been great under Beane, Brown may also be a nice pick, but time will ultimately tell on that.

[Are the Bills classless for scoring a TD against the fins with 1:14 to go? Try too take your homer hat off and explain.]

Statement made, you played us tough, now go F yourself.   We need that killer attitude and I’m glad they showed they had some.  The 2 pt conversion was one I would not have taken, just because of injury risk, but end of the day, you play to win and stupid ***** happens in every game, so don’t leave the score to chance.

[Do you think Saints will call about Trubisky?]

Simien is a solid player, they have no reason to panic.

[Warning for those trying to relocate...St Louis settlement could be in the billions of dollars]

I think it would be far more likely that a team moves there.  This makes me wonder though, did Cleveland pull the same stunt to get a new Browns team back there and we just never heard about it?

 

I could see the Chargers or Rams getting a buy out of sorts to get out of their part of the SoFi stadium deal and go there.

[Our RBs Receiving totals]

It is when you’ve lost two games already to talent inferior teams. Was 31 points enough, or 20?  The problem is too many points are still being left on the field , and Most of that is on Josh. As Jonn Fina just said on his podcast w Joe miller , Josh is looking off many wide open shorter route receivers, and esp did that during the Titans game.  Yes his completion % was high at 77% or so , but there is no reason it could not have been 80% or more, and it cost us two fg in the red zone early. If we get tds there , 14-0 , makes it harder to keep using Henry.   It felt like Josh wanted to prove he was the qb to expose the backup cbs of the Titans deep , ( Finas assessment, who btw is excellent to understand our line play and game plans in general) , rather than go to frequently open receivers like the backs.  The next ti the last drive while leading and a chance to go up 2 scores was an example of hero Josh mindset rearing it’s head and he should be past that in his 4 th year now. He is capable of better , like against the WFT, and he has been great against weak teams with big margins fir error ( KC was a good game against a horrible defense )   Just need him to take the open backs when there during playoff time and not contribute to losing any more winnable games that will put us on the road for the playoffs

 

Josh is an amazing talent, he just needs to remember it’s not all about going deep, it’s about efficiency and scoring and getting the backs involved adds another red zone threat. Will admit tho , I don’t trust motor very much in the passing game yet. I also think Daboll need to simplify all the packages in the red zone. No consistent identity and it seems no one is getting consistent reps to become proficient yet. Check out Finas podcast, it’s new, well done. Off tackle with John Fina I think! His rookie year was super bowl 27 in Pasadena. He was only called for 7 holding penalties in 9 years with the Bills, something amazing and proves how good technique is lacking on our current line! It’s a stat he is very proud of ! 

You are going to get lit up for saying Josh isn’t playing the best he can, but you are exactly right.

I didn’t because they have to beat on each other and have a much more difficult schedule ahead, but yes, they could be in the race.

[Will lack of Tough Games hurt the Bills?]

End of the day, the W-L record determines seeds in the playoffs, I’ll take 17 soft games and a top seed vs being “tested” and having to face those teams that tested us again in the first round of the playoffs.  As it stands right now, it looks like the Bills and the Titans will be fighting for the #1 seed, who’s schedule would you rather have to get that seed??

Flacco should just refuse to go out there, he can retire now and only miss the game checks, bonus has been paid by Philly.

Allen is missing less throws than ever imo…seems like a lot of people on this board haven’t watched other great qbs and they compare josh to some mythical perfect qb that never misses a throw and always finds the open guy. Everyone’s a critic when a play doesn’t work but josh is making tons of plays every week with this so called ‘hero ball’ that you are claiming lost us a game in which our defense surrendered 6 straight scores…what a joke 

Did ya read what was right in front of you?

19 minutes ago, CincyBillsFan said:

I don't agree with this at all.  Allen isn't playing well? Really? 

 

Some folks watch Allen through a magnifying glass noting every little thing he does wrong.  Then they apparently watch the rest of the NFL through a curtain not seeing that EVERY QB misses open throws; that EVERY QB doesn't see open receivers and that over the course of a game EVERY QB makes plays that contribute to both winning & losing a game.

 

 

 

He is not playing his best, as I said, still good relatively speaking.  His only big games have been against trash D’s, so as much as I love the kid, you also have to be objective with it.
