A little forward looking .... but Pittsburgh’s Smith-Schuster appears to be a ways away from returning. https://steelerswire.usatoday.com/2019/12/03/steelers-cardinals-injuries-james-conner-juju-smith-schuster-nfl-week-14/

Per Spotrac Kroft dead cap in '20 is $1.6 million. If they could upgrade with Hooper that would be worth it, he's really good.
Kroft contract is a good example of Beane/front office structuring contracts in a prudent way. His base salary next year is $4.5M but had only a limited amount in guarantees thus only $1.6M in dead cap if released.
Hooper, Knox, Brown, Beasley and either FA WR or 1st round WR pick plus Singletary out of backfield - now you've got weapons.
Background on Kroft contract

This is why I love PFF .. after last week for the year they have Josh Allen at the #26 best QB. They really show the truth to the phrase "there are lies, damn lies, and statistics". Behind Fitzpatrick - check; behind Mayfield - certainly; behind Winston - who wouldn't take Winston over Josh; Haskins - well why not [I live in metro DC and I am quite certain the redskins would be willing to trade their whole draft for Josh - but PFF statistics say ...] .... bahahahaha

As many have pointed out, this is very much not true. To put it in perspective ...
Allen is tied for 16th in the league in throwing TDs. Which is far from bad.
Wilson tied for 9th as a rookie and 9th again as a soph. Those are absolutely not similar numbers, in terms of rankings or gross numbers.
And those TD numbers came on 383 attempts as a rookie and 407 attempts the next for Wilson, while Allen has already thrown 366 passes. Allen has thrown a TD on 3.1% of his passes last year and 4.4% this year, while Wilson racked up TDs on 6.6% of his throws as a rook and 6.4% the next year.
Josh is improving, and the outlook is pretty solid right now. But he certainly hasn't produced similar passing TDs numbers with Wilson's first two seasons.
But he steals some of his own passing TDS by running it in ... Josh has 16 rushing TDs for his career .. Russell Wilson has 22 for his career. We are also comparing Josh to a future HOF QB who was more pro-ready coming out of college ... it is all about improving ... which he has done in spades

So the 49ers give up 2 extra points per game than the Bills and were on the road at the Ravens and lost by 3. The Ravens are at Buffalo and while I can see being favored ... really thinking 6.5 is VERY high.

Another advantage Josh Allen provides is his ability to score with his legs. With 16 in his first 2 years he is 36th in tds for active players) this ties him withTyrod Taylor and is only 3 behind Russell Wilson.

Based on simply taking the numbers from the first 12 weeks if Josh just matches his exact production in the final quarter he would end the year vs last year would be:
Passing;
Att: 320; Comp: 169; YPA: 6.48; Pct: 52.8%; Yds: 2074; TD: 10; 12 Int
Att: 499; Comp: 300; YPA: 7.08; Pct: 61.5%; Yds: 3454; TD: 21; 10 Int
Rushing
2018 - Att: 89; Yds: 631; Avg: 7.1; TD: 8
2019 - Att: 124; Yds: 573; Avg: 4.6; TD: 10
If you had predicted these 2019 stats at the beginning of the year ... I would have likely thought you were overly optimistic .. great progress.

I'm the first to admit when I'm wrong and that I drone on about a few topics - turnovers, replay challenges for all plays, and how bad Murphy is come to mind.
I would like folks on this board to admit if they really believe the officiating of games is fixed or even influenced by certain owners and teams. Complaints about the officiating is one of the most annoying things about this board and in particular the in-game thread.
My hunch is most of it is just frustration but I'm also a bit scared to see how many people actually think the fix is in.
I think better teams and better players will get the benefit of the doubt a few times a game. But I also think that is no different in any sport. I also think the officials make amazing spots and calls in full speed real time the vast majority of the time. They also miss things, but not to the benefit or detriment to any specific teams.
I think in a way you believe that there is inherent bias ... the ref has teams they like.. or the ref gives the benefit of the doubt to certain teams or certain players. If it happens just 2 plays in a game when the other team is on offense if they ran 50 plays that means 4% of the possible plays on offense were slides to the favored team .. that is significant

Great conversation on why the Bills are the type of team that represents us from GMFB. Enjoy .. America’s spirit animal .. nice

The Dallas Cowboys will be feasting on Buffalo this Thanksgiving Day. Get ready for a butt whooping guys not going to be pretty
What is this prediction based on? Do you get to claim some prize if the Cowboys win? Just a little more than the Cowboys are going to feast on Buffalo would help this post be more than totally irrelevant.

It appears it is a plot with Daboll .. hence why he calls a run play on 80% of 1st downs .. just trying to get us in 3rd and long. Seriously it is sooo maddening that he is such a vanilla play caller on 1st down
Just rewatched the game ... and including plays where a penalty occurred there were 35 first down snaps for the Bills 26 were runs or a whopping or right around 74%. Of the 9 passes most went for very good gains ... except a throw-away on a well diagnosed screen and the interception where JA had plenty of time but just had the pass get away from him. I would like to see a bit more diversity.

Serious ?
Why can't we play like every play is 3rd down then? Daboll opens the playbook so much more effective on these 3rd and longs and let's Josh play to his strength.

A couple of interesting tidbits 1) Buffalo's Defense only played 50 snaps on Sunday to Dallas Defense's 70 snaps .. this late in the year and with a short week you would think that may have an impact if we can keep our offense on the field. 2) This is an interesting article from CBS sports that details some of the game mismanagement for the Cowboys against New England. If we can get ahead early .. they could be looking over their shoulders and start making worse decisions. https://www.cbssports.com/nfl/news/sorting-the-sunday-pile-week-12-cowboys-at-a-crossroads-with-jason-garrett-jerry-jones-situation/

It's more that the Cowboys are better then any of the teams that the Bills have beat this season. Are people here really confident that when they need to start playing the better teams in the league when they have to score more then 20 points, that the Bills will not have a problem doing it? They scored what the Broncos defence has averaged giving up all season.
Score was the average but they gained 100 more yards. They were in control and milked it.

Jason Garrett has a record of 4 wins and 5 losses in the Thanksgiving game since he took over ... so not a big advantage. Oh and the Cowboys have opened as a 6.5 pt favorite .... that seems a lot.

Who ya got?
Is this which team is my favorite team .. that I want to win the Super Bowl .. or the team that should be favored to win the Super Bowl. If the first .. then we have some rebels in our midst .. if the later we have some delusional folks in our midst. The Bills have been better than expected. I figured they would go 8-8 and now I am looking at 9-7 with a hope for 10-6. Would love to be wrong, but as of now .. the favorites have to be NE and Baltimore. Having stated that Go Bills ... as I would love to be wrong.

Can Lamar Be Stopped???
in The Stadium Wall Archives
Posted
It was considered a bad game .. because if your quarterback is only producing 200 total yards .. it is a really bad game. If any quarterback puts up 200 total yards it would be considered terrible, but for some reason in this case it is still great but not as great as his other amazing games. Running or passing the goal is to get as many yards as possible to put yourself in a position to score as much as possible. I am not trying to take anything away from what he is doing .. but as of now we still don't know if he will be a bust, need a bust in Canton or somewhere in between.
