    Just give me Palmer, Hardman, Shakir, and Kincaid healthy for the tourney and we are good.   Gabe, 14, and Knox are nice to have. 

     

    We'll be on the road in any scenario, so just want to beat the Browns and Jets and I am good.  Regular season is pretty much those two games.   

     

    Who cares whether the Pats win the division.?  Better they have a 1st place schedule next season.  

    Is it though?  Burrow and Mahomes aren't going to be in first place, and Lamar might not be either.  I don't know which AFC Division we get next year where we play everybody, but it's quite possible that 2026 is the ideal year to be playing a first place schedule.

    Bills sign Brandin Cooks

    there's a somewhat decent chance he can at least clear gaps for other WR's  which he was doing quite a lot of for Olave and Shaheed 

     

     

     

    When Harmon posted those tweets, he knew that Cooks was leaving, but didn't know where he would end up.  I suspect he will be at least mildly enthusiastic that he ended up in Buffalo.  If all he does for us is give us well executed clear out routes (i.e. "love of the game routes" or team-friendly routes, that will be a big win for us.  Elijah Moore should have been able to do that role, but he obviously was not successful at that.

    I mean doesn't hurt to see what he has left I guess. Hasn't played a lot so he should have fresh legs.

    He's taken 422 snaps this year with the Saints.  (Olave leads Saints WR with 602 snaps).

     

    Khalil Shakir leads the Bills with 436 snaps taken.

     

    Cooks main role has been to run clear out routes for the other players (mainly Olave and Shaheed).  He's done that very well, and gives full effort, unlike some guys when they know that they aren't the primary read on a play.  He's also been playing on a team with a noodle arm QB.  A safety has to give him at least some respect - if you just ignore him Josh will find him no matter how far down the field.

     

    I think people will be very surprised how much difference he makes to the offense.  I wouldn't start him on my fantasy team because I don't think he'll catch a ton of passes, but the offense as a whole should look better when he is on the field.

    McDermott statement in presser is telling concerning our offense

    The best our offense has looked this year is when we played with tempo. I’m assuming everyone on the team feels that way you can visually see the change in body language. It was what we did against Baltimore, it’s the only thing that worked yesterday, it was here and there trying to get caught back up and it was effective at times before the end of halves. Even the run has been better with tempo. I’d say kill the long, slow monotonous drives and start playing with some urgency. It’s absolutely when Josh plays his best. You have to live with the risk of a mistake but it gives us back the sharpness 

    Playing with tempo requires you to put your best 11 on the field and keep them on the field for the whole drive.  You can't have mass substitutions on every play, because then the defense must have the opportunity to make their own subs.  But not allowing the offense to sub takes one of the joysticks away from the OC, and we can't have that.

     

    Plus our best 11 is 13 personnel, which with Kincaid out has to be 12 or 22 personnel.  It's stone age but it can work.  I remember an AFL playoff game, Raiders-Chiefs, and the Chiefs ran out of the straight T formation the entire game and threw only 2 passes.  The weather was fine that day, so it's not like that was the excuse - they just decided to pound the rock and it worked.  Might not work week in and week out, but against a banged up defense like the Dolphins had it should have been dominant.

    Let's take a second to appreciate James Cook

    in The Stadium Wall

    Posted

    I've been wondering if keeping Cook out on passing downs might also be part of the strategy to keep him fresh.  He's a shifty back so doesn't take too many square up hits where he plows into a LB or DT - more glancing blows.  In pass protection, you need to square up, stand you ground and take on a LB or Safety with a head of steam, which can be a more violent collision.  If actually out in the pattern not as much of a concern, but in pass pro it adds to wear and tear.  And it's not a touch, so for fans it doesn't count but for the player it still is violence.

    Shaheed to Seahawks

    A fair price for Shaheed would have been a single fifth.  This was an overpay for a guy like him. 

     

    I did want him but I can see not paying that much.  Plus if either Palmer or Davis gets back to full health we might not need him as bad.

    This was a way bigger game for the chiefs than the bills for this specific season.  If you’re saying the chiefs performing well doesn’t matter as much cuz they’ve won superbowls recently I can definitely get behind that though 
     

    chiefs are kinda on the outside looking in of everything now.  Feels like they’re behind in tiebreakers with everyone that matters and they don’t have too many sure wins on their schedule looks like it’s just ten and LV.  The Baltimore tiebreaker could be huge for them at least knowing Baltimore is probably gonna go on a run 

     

    bills would’ve been ok at 5-3 as far as wildcard goes I would think.  I think bengals browns jets dolphins wins would’ve been pretty safe and put them at 9-3 (7-2 in conference) then you just need 1 or 2 of the remaining 5 games against pit,Houston,tb,Philly,NE

    I agree.  Really, going into Sunday I viewed this as a must-win for both teams.  The Chiefs didn't win, and now they are 2 games behind Denver for the division.  Yes, they can still sweep the Broncos since they play them twice, but if they split the two game they are very unlikely to win the division.  And if we somehow end up in a tie breaker scenario with the Chiefs, we have that advantage too.

     

    Most of the pre-game hype focused on the regular BILLS-CHIEFS and ALLEN-MAHOMES angle, and not on the playoff picture as it stood on Saturday.

    it’s injuries. Can’t trot AJ Klein and Kair Elam out there in the AFCCG. 

    It's not just that there are injuries, but when the injuries happen.  In-game injuries are extremely hard to work around.  Same goes for any late-season or playoff game injuries, even if they advance to the next round.  If the backup has 3 or 4 games to ramp up before it really counts they can learn from their mistakes and maybe not be as good as the guy they replaced, but not so bad that they are a liability.  As much as it sucks to lose Hoecht now, it would suck much worse to lose him in week 18.  And lately for the Bills, we seem to have regular late-season or playoff in-game serious injuries.

    Single father with a toddler here. I don't have the time to get into this kind of analysis, so thank you guys. I have a genuine question for you.

     

    What seems to be the identity of this passing offense? To me, it looks like Brady still doesn't know what he wants the passing offense to be.

     

    They're have been a few drives this season where the passing looked quick and decisive. I loved seeing it as I think it opens up the rest of the offense. People say the WR corps is terrible. I don't necessarily agree with that take. Kincaid is elite, Shakir is a good slot. Palmer and Moore have had success as separators. So what's the deal?

     

    Anyway, thanks again. 

    I don't think it's possible for them to have an "identity", where they run what they want to run every week and beat you with it.  They need to change it up each week based on the opposition.  "Everybody eats" shouldn't apply within a single game, it does apply across the entire season.  One week it's Kincaid, another it's Shakir, another Palmer, another Coleman.  Any given week somebody should be the primary focus, but it shouldn't be the same guy every week.

    Kicker decision between Bass /Prater

    in The Stadium Wall

    Posted

    One thing that might keep Bass on IR is I think there is a limit to the number of times a team can move a guy off of IR - I think that number is 8 but I could be wrong.

     

    Can't predict the future, but the Bills could have a rash of injuries at some point and might need every one of those moves before the season is out.

     

    If Bass is just as good as Prater, then Prater is just as good as Bass.  So what are you gaining by bringing back Bass and dropping Prater?

    Convince Baltimore that Kyle Hamilton stinks and they should trade him to Buffalo. 

    I mean, he did blow the chance to block a game-winning FG.  They should be ready to dump him.

    Bills 4th Round Pick : Deone Walker - DT - Kentucky

    in The Stadium Wall

    Posted

    from PFF

     

    Pros
    Very quick first step for a player of his size
    Has a baseline for a variety of pass-rush moves
    Has the length to play 3-4 DE
    Hand usage is quick despite also very long length
    Good natural power in his upper body

     

    Cons
    Not a lot of weight in his lower half despite weighing 340 pounds — ankles/calves are skinny
    High-waisted build makes it tougher for him to sit in his stance with leverage/power
    Pops up quickly out of his stance
