  1. I’m sorry - there’s no way around it. When your 2nd round DE, who many thought had a 1st round grade, is not dressed then it’s a disappointment. Im sure there have been examples before, but I can’t remember a time when a high profile DE prospect started the year as a healthy scratch. Not good
  2. Funny how they removed the Bills logo from his helmet and then basically recreated the Bills logo in the lettering LOL
  3. Maybe he was a great leader in the locker room but I really didn’t see him offer much on the field. Even on Special Teams he didn’t seem to standout - including the time he failed to recognize NE’s punt block formation which led to a TD. It was fun watching him try to run a dee route in the playoffs
  4. Not filling in good. He needs to shave it off
  5. Yeah these type of subscription services have been real successful marketing tactics for a lot of smaller companies. I guess the appeal is that they make good gifts to people. But personally I never liked the idea.
  6. Easy choice is San Fran.... but I’ll say Seattle
  7. Hard pass. I’m just not a fan of these “boxes” that these online companies are trying to push.
  8. The weird thing about picking Miami to win 10 games this season is that it would seem to contract the plans the organization has for Tua. Many believe Fitzpatrick is the bridge QB and will turns the reigns over to Tua at some point this season. If Miami is 10-6, there’s a good chance that probably doesn’t happen. Not so sure they want him to sit the entire year. But then again, it worked great for Mahomes - so who knows?
  9. They won’t have an additional RB spot on the roster, so that means if they sign him its Yeldon’s roster spot
  10. I always thought that Peter King looked a lot like Norm from Cheers
  11. What did Duke in was the playoff loss in Houston. He had a tremendous opportunity coming off a good games versus NYJ. In big moments Duke came up empty including failing to make contested catches twice (1 in the endzone at the end of the half) and dropping another pass toward the end of the game. His calling card was that if he could get his hands on the ball, he could make the catch. His play dictated the opposite. If Duke makes one of those catches, you can easily argue it would be a different game. From that moment on, I think it eliminated any thought that he could be a contributor at WR and the team knew they needed a significant upgrade at WR. I like Duke and hope he catches on with another team as well. I think he has pretty good talent and could contribute on ST’s. I don’t think he’s a starter but can him helping in 4 wide or different passing packages
  12. I’m shocked that this is actually a news story. Clearly Smith used “parking cars” as a euphemism for being out of the league or not playing in the NFL. Putting this in the headline makes it seems like he’s literally parking cars. The author must be on a pay-per-click deal He also had the TD catch that was ruled incomplete on NE. Pretty sad that’s considered a “highlight”
  13. Which is why you’ll likely see Jon Feliciano make the initial 53, only to go on IR the next day. So you may a lineman like Ike Boettger released today only to be signed tomorrow
  14. Rosen’s not coming to Buffalo. Not happening.
  15. I think he’ll bounce around as a backup or a fringe starter for teams that desperate for a QB.
  16. Foster’s value is more on ST’s than as a WR. I’d be surprised if they can trade Foster or Croom but then again Beane did get a 6th for Russell Bodine - so you never know
  17. Sal played this one very straight which makes sense but there are always surprises and he didn’t really account for those.
  18. Maybe.... he’s someone that could probably get brought back on the PS
  19. He also had somewhat of a checked past
  20. it seemed that Smith’s penalties came at the worst possible times
  21. I think we could be in store for some known players not making the team. It’s all but certain that the rookies will have a spot INT he roster which will give the Bills 5 WR’s + Andre Roberts as WR/KR. I don’t think they keep 6 WR plus Roberts, so that means the following are likely gone: Robert Foster Duke Williams Isaiah McKenzie I don’t these players will be out of work for long. The OL could be interesting as well, if you believe the reports that Daryl Williams and Cody Ford got some work with the 1st Team OL. If people like Ryan Bates can step up as OL swingman, then I think either Brian Winters or TY Nsekhe could be gone. I don’t think they could trade either. I think that Murphy stays and the team tries to sneak Daryl Williams on the PS. I don’t think there’s much value on the trade market and that they are better keeping him in the DL rotation Some other possible cuts that I think could happen: FB Pat DiMarco - I have a feeling the team loves the versatility of a younger Reggie Gilliam. Also they’ve filled a few voids on ST, so they no longer need DiMarco here. RB TJ Yeldon - With Taiwan Jones on the team, I’m not sure there is much space for Yeldon. Yes he can play ST’s but it wasn’t enough to keep him active last year... it might not this year. TE - Jason Croom - Theres just not a spot for him at TE. TE - Lee Smith - less likely but if Williams is playing OT and Ford is inside, Smith on the become less valueable as a blocker. He also wasn’t very last year. QB - Jake Fromm - Logic tells you this doesn’t happen but reports out of camp are that he hasn’t impressed. The team also like Davis Webb Is there a spot for him anymore? Daboll doesn’t use a FB much and this year you’d expect the Bills to run a lot of 3 WR. I know he was valued on Special Teams, but the Bills brought on Taiwan Jones, Tyler Manekevich, and Andre Smith as upgrades. I think there’s a decent chance they move on
  22. I never got to that point with Tyrod until the 2017 season, though the loss at Seattle really made me wonder, because while he played well - he wasn’t able to bring them back from behind when it mattered. To his credit, he did lead the Bills to a lead very late in the 4th quarter against a playoff bound Miami Dolphins team and in the process threw for over 300 yards. I thought he had turned the corner that day for the better.
  23. No - that’s a distinct possibility for sure. But I think that he’s still fast enough to gain some good yardage scrambling.
  24. I don’t think we’ll see a whole new Tyrod in 2020. He’ll be exactly what he’s been his whole career. We’ll see him make some good plays with his legs, take care of the football, and probably hit a few nice deep passes downfield. If the team can get ahead he’ll do a very good job nursing that lead. I don’t think he’ll be the QB who can bring you back when falling behind or the QB who can lead the team to a TD on the last drive. If anything, we know that Tyrod is a really good person so I’m rooting for him in SD.
