Not so sure about that. It officially goes till next Tuesday and Beane strikes me as the kind of guy to wait it out to get good value and not give up too much capital. Yes, he went all out for Miller but we're not getting a Miller now. It might be a decent role player but not a star.

We're the best team in the league without having to employ scumbags. Yes, I want to win a championship, but, no, I don't think Hunt is worth that bit of difference he would give us. If he's truly remorseful for what he did and has gone out of his way to express that and change, then maybe... But most bad people don't change and apologies are lip service. Let's win it all with good people like Von and Josh and all the rest.

I'd be in favor of adding a back in the fourth or fifth round next year with good size (220 lb plus) and good but far from elite speed (4.5 to 4.6). Cost-control contract for a few years. Other than a guard and safety, I can't see us having too many needs and I think a bruising back with some decent wheels would be a good lower-round pick. The thunder to Cook's (hopefully speaking as it's unproven) lightning.

Yes, it's early but we already beat our nemesis and no other AFC team should scare us. Given the crappiness of the NFC any rational observer would have to say the Bills are SB favorites. I'm really glad Von is hear to help manage the team's mindset because the goals and expectations are loftier than they have been in decades.

I wasn't a huge fan of Singletary before this year but I am pleasantly surprised at his improved burst and/or vision hitting the holes early. Regarding his average, however, isn't it very possible it's inflated by playing with Josh Allen? Defenses are totally keying up for the pass and don't mind if Motor "gashes" them for almost five yards a carry. Also: do you have confidence in Singletary for third and short and goal-line stands? I don't. And I don't want Josh running all the time. I'm not against Singletary but I would be much more confident with a bigger-bodied back who's good at grinding out the tough short yards. And for not a lot of draft capital — I'm talking something like a sixth rounder. I just know that Moss ain't that short-yardage back.

Yup... all the trading for a back talk. And I assumed the Browns were already throwing in the towel and looking for picks.

Huge turnover for San Fran!!!!

Garoppolo is looking good... But they need to get TDs not FGs to beat the Chiefs.

49ers TD! This could be good...

Ah, my bad... All this RB talk and I was thinking Nick... Not the Broncos.

Would love to see Bosa repeatedly pummel Mahomes. That would make my non-Bills Sunday.

That special teams play by Peoples-Jones on the punt was fantastic. Didn't know you could hit a guy in that situation.

If he were some humanitarian who gave back to the community in Buffalo (maybe he does and I don't know about it) and he was a humble player whose demeanor and play looked focused, people wouldn't do this. But to many he comes across as not serious about the game and combined with his numerous mistakes, many people have no compunction making fun of a man who makes millions to — sometimes — catch a ball.

His best line was when after someone didn't know who 18 Keenum was he said to the camera, "I gotta throw more touchdowns." Takes some guts to do that, try tp push his jersey knowing full well people won't want it — and people might even diss Keenum not knowing that's the guy talking to him. Good for him, knows his role and accepts it and can even joke about it.

Some are complaining that calling McKenzie "Lil' Dummy" is mean spirited. Yet McKenzie made fun of Hyde's season-ending and potentially career-threatening neck injury (Hyde couldn't believe it and, funnily enough, did not find it funny). So do we really need to watch what we say about a mistake-prone player who likes to dish out the worst kind of humor himself? 🤔

If trying to win a second Super Bowl and salvage his diminishing legacy as a player who can win doesn't motivate Rodgers, I doubt that some bon mots from a guy called Tim Harmston will.

I normally don't trust middle-aged men with haircuts like that but it was an entertaining read. "Rodgers leads the league in frumpy expressions and negative body language on the sideline, which makes him, like Josh Allen, a unique double threat." We don't have beat writers who can do that.

I like your options 1 & 3: getting safety help and David Montgomery — a proven back who's over 220 lbs (our heaviest back, Moss, is listed at just 207). Shakir and Crowder are more than fine at slot, IMHO.

Great vid and breakdown. Appreciate both McCown's insight and self-deprecating humor as he said multiple times he'd take the easy throw (where our Josh takes the challenging throw and succeeds. That throw to Diggs up the middle with 2:05 left and a safety just over top a few yards, ball in the air almost 25 yards, was crazy for it's timing and accuracy into coverage with safety help. As McCown says, the best moments in sports have an element of trust and Josh trusts Stephon. Wow.

SIngletary is 203 lb. Moss is 205 lb. I'd feel better about having a guy who can push the pile on 3rd and inches who isn't outweighed by many safeties. Singletary is doing much better this year than I expected — he's decisive and more explosive. But he's not a pile pusher. Adding a guard I'm fully on board with but trading a 5th or 6th for veteran running back who is at least 220 lb and can get short yardage would be nice. Or we can keep giving it to Josh on third and short and pray for no wear and tear, let alone major injuries.

Dorsey almost half agrees with you. Against the Chiefs Diggs played in the slot 46% of his snaps.

Good to hear KC fans are decent and hospitable folk who are kind to the fans of their mortal enemies. I still fu***** hate the Chiefs.

Cool woman. Good thing she's not a mortician.

I don't have the exact numbers for an average but here are the top players in the league "win" rates: https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/34536376/2022-nfl-pass-rushing-run-stopping-blocking-leaderboard-win-rate-rankings-top-players-teams Top 10 guards have a pass block win rate from 95% to 98%. Thus even a the 10th-best guard "loses"(or perhaps has a neutral outcome; not sure what a non "win" is here) on one out of every 20 plays or maybe 3 times a game. Top 10 guards have a run block win rate from 74% to 83%. Thus the 10th-best guard loses (or perhaps has as neutral outcome) on one out of every 4 plays or 15 or 16 times out of 60 snaps. Perhaps this (or stats that are more robust beyond top-10) can start to give us an idea of how often a good guard "wins" and "loses." I think it's folly to expect perfection over 60 snaps.

This is worth the price of admission alone. Thanks for doing all that. Most people thought Saffold was a waste the first few games so he either got better last game or a lot of folks were really wrong in their estimation of him.
