  1. That’s why Im shocked Waddle is listed as questionable. I can’t see any way he plays on Sunday but it sounds like they are optimistic. The fact Hill returned so quickly is amazing though his numbers seem to have plateaued so maybe it’s a factor since Tenn. so maybe it’s still a factor
  2. I mean, this is hardly a surprise. Outside of Diggs which receivers really separate? I’m almost certain Beane addresses this in R1 this season. The good news is that Dalton Kincaid does a really good job getting open. Josh just needs to look his way a bit more than he has. I think next season is going to be a big year
  3. This article does a better job than I could: https://www.pff.com/news/nfl-week-2-what-rushing-over-expected-tells-us-about-rb-prop-bets#:~:text=This is where rushing yards,is at defending the run. Basically a weighted stat like the EPA, so it takes into account the context such as a 6 yard run on 3rd and 20 etc….
  4. We’ll see. It’s not just his 3.0 YPC this season. He was among one of the lowest starting RB’s in the RYOE metric. He’s a name player on the decline. Won’t be in the league for much longer
  5. Kind of seems like a waste of a roster spot for a player who doesn’t play special teams. He’s not all that good
  6. Meltdown? They lost to the #2 and #3 seeds in consecutive years. Not really egregious losses
  7. He’s right guys, check the Bills record under McDermott in December. It checks out Starts with the QB…
  8. Beane did a good job accumulating draft picks and I believe he’ll use these to trade up. There’s to be a lot of holes on defense especially in the secondary and d-line. My fear is that they go heavy on defense and ignore the WR position or fill it with “value” FA’s. The position needs an upgrade and the Bills have to start thinking of life after Diggs in a season or two
  9. I’ve never been there in person, no. It’s hard to tell from TV. As an away team Buffalo is represented well. Not just from loyal traveling fans, but also from WNY who are all over the US - (except for Buffalo 😂)
  10. I don't quite see how a home crowd could be under < 50% especially when the visiting team is not really close in proximity. LOL that wasn’t a mixed crowd game, it technically was a “home game.” It was more like a neutral site game
  11. I always think the worst, so I chose option 2. It’s probably not logical, as much as it is superstitious and being pessimistic as a lifelong Bills fan. Trying to think of it as an impartial fan, despite it being a road game, I think Buffalo comes in with a huge advantage from a health standpoint alone. Not having Chubb and Howard is going to hurt the defense. I don’t think Hill is close to 100% as he was earlier in the year and even if Mostert and Waddle play, both aren’t going to be close to 100% as well. You can also think that Miami wants to bounce back after being humiliated - they probably won’t play that bad two weeks in a row. But at the same time Buffalo’s offense didn’t play great either and there’s just as much of a chance of them bouncing back too. Either way - I am 99.9% certain that McDermott will be HC next year even if the Bills get blown out 56-19 on Sunday. Not as sold on Brady, especially given McDermott’s comments about Diggs, but I think he’s likely to return as OC.
  12. Only 5 were DNP… Just like Miami, there’s a good chance the majority of the 15 player listed as Limited go on Sunday.
  13. If you watched the preseason in 2018, you’d know that Peterman looked really good playing against bland defenses and second and third teamers. Also there were still some like John Gruden who spoke highly of The Peterman as a prospect. So even though he had a horrendous game in San Diego, it was was a small sample size. There’s a lot of hindsight about Peterman too. The consensus from some is that McDermott was crazy to bench Tyrod. But if you lived the 2017 season, Tyrod was struggling to pass for 200 yards…200 yards! His performance was on a steady decline culminating with a 56 yard outing against NO. Yes a starting QB passing for 56 yards in 4 quarters. In that game, he was the worst player on offense. So turning to Peterman was an attempt to for a spark. The Bills weren’t moving the ball through the air much or scoring points, so I’m guessing he thought there wasn’t much to lose. It was a knee jerk reaction and a mistake McDermott has owned up to. But the move wasn’t as far fetched as some want to portray. Look at Tyrod’s stats that game. Tyrod would remain a very limited passer but the best thing he did was not throw INT’s and hand off to Shady. It was the Peterman. He did several of these videos:
  14. Some many Bills fans lie and pretend they were at the game. The game was blacked out which seems unheard of for a playoff game. I thinks fans began to suffer from fatigue and IIRC the Bills got destroyed by Houston the previous week and most thought would lose again. There no way that many people were at the game. Not sure why people lie
  15. I think Jessie’s article shared everything that needs to be said regarding her heath. My guess is there’s no update regarding the brain damage she suffered with her heart failure. Typical start/stop progress for recovery after a major medical incident. But it sounds like she struggled with speaking and basic functions and that’s likely why she’s been out of the spotlight and away from the business. At least this is what I hope. Definitely a very sad situation
  16. I think there’s a lot of truth to this. Kincaid has tremendous potential but needs to be used correctly. LaPorta is used much better in Detroit’s offense but if you swapped both players I don’t think LaPorta puts up the numbers Kincaid did in Buffalo. It seems like Kincaid was being used in the “safety valve” role that Cole Beasley used to have which would explain his low YPC. I never got the impression that Dorsey and the offense were great running plays out 12 personnel and I think that was part of the problem.
  17. Hey @Beck Water Banged up Bills is a real life PT named Kyle Trimble. Kyle Brandt is the Angry Runs guy from NFLN.
  18. They’d go with San Fran vs Baltimore
  19. I don’t buy this at all. First off who in the blue hell is CJ Caggiano and how does he have better sources than anyone else in the NFL. Smell the BS
  20. To be fair, a lot of coaches would do the same thing.
  21. If anyone heard the Mike Vrabel interview this week - it’s clear that coaches and players don’t see things the way fans do. Miami and McD want that AFCE Divisional title. To your point, I don’t see Miami rushing back a Jaylen Waddle like they might have if Sunday were a playoff game. But I also think they’ll have Mostert give it a go, rather than resting him. Also, I don’t think Miami believes they can win 3 in a row on against winning teams on the road. They don’t believe they can win outside of Miami Gardens, which is odd considering the home advantage isn’t that good Let’s be honest too… there’s no guarantee the Bills win. Miami would win the AFCE, give some key players rest, and get 2 home games as the 2 seed.
  22. Unless Miami plays in the Super Bowl, I think it will play out similar to Daniel Jones. He’ll get a new deal around $40-$45M - enough to put him in the Top 10 for the moment. But I also think they’ll also level room for a potential out. If Miami plays in the SB I can see him getting a Hurts like deal
  23. This is a real good point. How about Polk from Washington? He seems to be trending upward. Might even be able to get him at the top of R2
