This is an interesting way for a punter tryout. I appreciate the Bills thinking outside the box, ticking off ✔️Beloved ✔️Hard working ✔️ Delicate shovel hands for holding
This is exactly my concern.
What if he suffers frostbite and can't field the snaps from Adam Lingner... er Reid Ferguson?

BUCK BUCHANON, OTIS TAYLOR, JAN STENERUD, WILLIE LANIER, QB LEN DAWSON AND COACH HANK STRAM.
There are 25 former Chiefs in the Pro Football Hall of Fame... and arguably more that are deserving based on their careers mostly in the AFL. There are 12 former Bills in the Hall of Fame.
Also the Chiefs won 3 AFL Championships, the most of any team.
And they've won the most Super Bowls of the teams that were in the AFL... tied with the Raiders and Broncos with 3.
The Hall of Honor at Arrowhead Stadium is virtually the American Football League Hall of Fame.
Like it or not, the Chiefs are the standard bearer for the teams which came out of the American Football League.
Hate and respect.

Neil Smith used to do a home run swing sack celebration. During one Bills-Chiefs game, Bruce Smith decided to return the favor.

I remember DeBerg broke his pinkie one year and played with a comically oversized cast on it. The cast was so disproportionately large that you couldn't help but think his chiropractor was seeing dollar signs watching him play.
42 minutes ago, freddyjj said:The early 80s Marv Levy led Chiefs were a sorry roster. Bill Kenney or Steve Fuller at QB with the late Joe Delaney at RB and Art Still at DE. They were like Bills during Jauron Era.
As some here know, Joe Delaney died trying to save others. He didn't know how to swim but he saw three young boys drowning in a lake and tried to save them. Of the 4 individuals, one boy survived. Delaney was also known for other acts of charity and kindness.
19 minutes ago, freddyjj said:Kemp’s 1966 Bills lost to the Lenny Dawson led Chiefs in 1966 AFL championship game at the Rockpile.
So Dawson was 1-0 vs Bills.And by virtue of that win represented the AFL in the first Super Bowl where they lost to Vince Lombardi's Green Bay Packers.

I can’t help it, I do miss the days of Leonard Smith and even Kurt Schulz.
As long as you don't have posters of Jack Tatum on your wall... not sure when/how it happened but Donte Whitner is a media personality out here and he's known by the moniker "Donte Hitner."
I don't remember us calling him Hitner when he was with the Bills but it's possible I've forgotten.

I'm not sure where Moorman lives but my old boss who owns 57 acres on Ellicott Rd near the Orchard Park-West Falls border once ran into Moorman hunting on his property and had to tell him to punt.
Remember the year we were so bad that the Bills Media team decided that a photo of Moorman punting out of his own end zone would be a good way to entice season ticket holders to renew?

Toney, we’re better off if he played. Him being out should move the line to bills -1.5. He might be the worst player in the NFL
Toney ran a 4.37 at the combine but is averaging 6.6 ypc this season. How is that even possible?
I seem to recall that the Giants wanted Devonta Smith in the first round and the Eagles traded ahead of them to take Smith. The Giants then traded down and selected Toney.
It was a Dave Gettelman pick.

Maybe I'm basing my opinion on his special teams play but I'm pretty sure he can bring it as a DB.

I don't recall which game but Neal essentially negated Kelce in one regular season game several years ago.
21 hours ago, Limeaid said:In that game Neal repeatedly legally hit Kelce within 5 yard section and disrupted his game.
I recall that too. Between the uncertainty with Taron and at boundary corner, and the Rapp injury it wouldn't surprise me to see Neal get some defensive snaps.
Also I wonder if there's a plan B that doesn't include Cam Lewis if Taron is unable to go... Dane seems to be a good candidate to play slot. Or could they try Elam at slot?
McDermott has some chess pieces to play with.
23 hours ago, Rico said:Agreed, I would’ve liked to see Rapp blast the Meathead. I don’t think Neal has it in him to do that.
Neal has some deficiencies in his game but being physical is not one of them.

22 hours ago, Brand J said:How sweet it would’ve been if Dorian Williams would’ve been allowed to grow this year. McD doesn’t trust he knows what to do on the field so he’s behind both Spector and Klein. I’d have to believe a crash course in experience (and mistakes) would’ve molded him into a pretty good starter.
You're making an assumption that might not be true.
The Bills barely made the playoffs and had zero margin for error over the last 6 weeks of the season. It was absolutely the right move to play Dod(b)son and it would be wrong to assume that Williams didn't progress as a player simply because he didn't get every snap.
I would trust McDermott to know how to develop the younger defensive players.

Didn't we use that logic with Dorsey too? It's not like our offense has been lighting up it, it's just that Brady loosened the reigns on Allen, which any of us would have done the same. I'm not ragging on Brady, but I'm not overly impressed and would love the opportunity to get a great, established OC.
Uh oh, someone's feelings get hurt?
Brady loosened the reigns on Allen with regards to running the ball.
As far as passing, he's tightened the reigns. Josh has been more disciplined as a thrower since Brady took over.
17 hours ago, GunnerBill said:If you want to have no interviews until after the playoffs then you need to lose something else out of the calendar. The obvious candidate is pre-season which would allow camp to start later meaning you could move the break back and give people all of July off. But the NFL won't do that.
It hasn't helped that they added another game to the schedule. I remember when the Super Bowl was played in mid-late January.
This year's game is on 2/11.

Screw you. Just shut up!!!
16 hours ago, GunnerBill said:They are very likely conscious that Belichick has the power here. They want to turn the screw a little bit. Don't jerk us around we have other options it is yes or no.
The interesting part of the Falcons/Belichick interview is that it didn't include Rick McKay who has been GM, President, and then CEO for Arthur Blank for 20 years.
I wonder how McKay feels about being asked not to be in the room.

1 hour ago, QB Bills said:
Maybe it's just me and I'm romanticizing the latter Daboll years, but the passing offense still seems a bit disjointed, does it not?
A lot of the success seems to come down from broken down plays that Allen has to improvise on as opposed to guys being schemed open or even the odd gadget play. I agree that a big chunk of Allen's success will depend on him just not thinking and going off-script at times but I think back to some of the games he had earlier in his career and how they made everything look so easy, even against some really good defenses.
Keep hoping every week that they can get things together but I don't think that's happening without a new OC. On the other hand, I think Josh is that good where he can single-handedly win you the next three games to make this point moot but I would still love to see what he could do with some fresh blood in the coaching room.
I think 2 things:
1) Bills fans are spoiled. By objective measures this has been and continues to be an elite offense.
2) That said the offense is a work in process due to the change in coordinators. I expect the offense to look more coherent next year after Brady has the offseason to make it his own.
1 hour ago, Wraith said:The passing game has been up and down this season but the timing of this post is odd. The passing game was very efficient and well-structured against the Steelers and even against the Dolphins it was moving the ball at will until the red zone.
Yes. The passing game is improving. It's trending in the right direction. Brady is incrementally adjusting things and Kincaid and Shakir are becoming bigger factors.
IMO the thing that will make the passing game perform and look efficient is for Josh to continue to take the open layups. He's been getting better in this area since the Dorsey firing. Josh is a very underrated short thrower. He can throw wrist flick darts all day long if he stays disciplined. He can manage the short horizontal passing game very well and now that we've sufficiently replaced Beasley I expect to see higher completion percentages and fewer interceptions as we did in 2020 when Josh completed 69.2% of his passes and had an interception percentage of 1.7% (this year it's 3.1%, the highest since he was a rookie).
The Bills offense is trending up and just in the nick of time because it looks like we'll need to win in a shootout to advance past KC.
13 minutes ago, BIGFOOTspaceman said:I still want to see Allen and J. Brady concentrate more on the short passing game. The Bills did at the onset of the Steelers game but kinda went away from it. Most of the time I feel like Allen gets "Big Play" drunk and that's how the Bills end up in those lulls not moving the ball effectively and not scoring.
We have a winner.
People get confused by the phrase "Let Josh be Josh."
If it means running the ball... yes.
If it means spraying low-percentage throws downfield... no.
As a passer, Josh is most effective when he's disciplined and works short to long.

That’s all perfectly fine - so long as it’s made clear that these things are purely subjective analyses. These are people watching tape and assigning grades on a scale that they created.
My main problem with them is these two sides of their business are conflated together and now everything is shrouded under PFF’s data analytics. And they really don’t seem interested in speaking up and differentiating the two to the public.
To the bolded... if that has to be explained to people they most likely won't understand the explanation.

Not to defend PFF, but "literally putting a coaches grade next to a PFF grade" doesn't really prove much considering how many meatheads are coaching in the NFL. Coaches are constantly wrong when evaluating talent and situation.
Yes player evaluation is highly subjective... even for NFL coaches.
17 hours ago, Einstein said:Is this really surprising?
You can have two NFL coaches grade a player completely differently.
Two GM's too.
That's why some will trade down in the draft and others will trade up to get the player that the other left there.
It doesn't mean PFF sucks. It means HIS coach graded it differently.Subjective even for NFLscouts and GMs.
17 hours ago, Buffalo716 said:Their grades are highly subjective because they do not know the play call
Pro scouts who work for NFL teams and scouting syndicates also don't usually know the play call.
16 hours ago, MJS said:Wow! I'm a huge fan of JJ Watt now. Absolutely savage. I love it.
Dude is a meathead and he spurned the Bills so strikes 2 and 3.
16 hours ago, eball said:You really think some schmuck sitting at home "grading" a play when he doesn't know the play call or the individual player responsibilities is the same as a coach grading a play?
1) One can't assume the competency of PFF evaluators. Some have worked at high levels in the NFL as coaches and players.
2) Your argument dictates that only the handful of people who know the play call are justified in judging the results. This argument then disqualifies NFL coaches and scouts who usually don't know the play call.
16 hours ago, BADOLBILZ said:Just like scouts grades. Totally subjective because they do not know the play call.
Exactly.
16 hours ago, Einstein said:to be honest, I disagree with several of PFF grade. Ed is just one of them.
but keep in mind that two NFL coaches may disagree with each other on their own grading.so, in my opinion, that’s not that unusual.
Correct.
15 hours ago, Mango said:I don't disagree on this topic, but JJ Watt is also a dummy.
I have no other value to offer to this conversation.JJ Watt is Gronk without the rings.
14 hours ago, Punch said:Meanwhile, PFF grades are "molded by the NFL" as our old friend Matthew Coller tweeted (I'll reiterate for the third time, I do not necessarily wholeheartedly endorse PFF):
Andre Whitworth, Paul Alexander and Bobby Slowik? Not bad.
Critics of PFF are assuming the caliber of the evaluators without actually knowing who they are.
14 hours ago, hondo in seattle said:The play a couple of weeks ago when Josh threw to Gabe in the endzone and was picked... How do you grade that? Did Josh just make a bonehead play under duress? Or did Gabe go to the wrong spot based on the defense? How does the PFF grader know? Even if the grader is a former All-Pro, he can't know. He can only guess.
So PFF is the only entity capable of this type of error?
How about QC coaches and advance scouts? Most scouting evaluations, including those done by NFL scouts are done without knowing for sure each players assignment.
The same goes for esteemed and highly-credible evaluators like Greg Cosell.
Critics of PFF seem like they don't understand the intrinsic nature of player evaluation... or maybe they just want to complain about something.

He’s a very good coach no question… that said I’ll have a hard time believing he will be able to beat the Chiefs in the playoffs going forward if they lose this game…. Chiefs are as vulnerable as they’ll ever be under Mahomes/Reid.
The Bills finished the last game playing their 5th and 6th linebackers and their 4th and 5th cornerbacks. That's not even including the Taron Johnson injury.
The Chiefs have had 2 more days to recover and prepare than the Bills.
