As much as I’d rather have Hyde in the lineup over Hamlin, you can’t do it at this point. It’d be a bad look for the Bills to bench a healthy guy who’s been there since day 1: participated every day of OTAs, training camp and has started every game thus far. If you bring him in, I agree, it’s for an advisory role, but Hyde has been on record as saying he’s not interested in coaching players.

Without having numbers to back it up, I’d venture that Beane has had far fewer misses on draft picks than almost all other GMs. Because of that, the Bills roster has depth and is solid across the board. Where he struggles is in identifying blue chip talent, though there’s largely luck involved, as the blue chippers (if correctly identified) would go much earlier than any Bills pick. Knox was a serviceable TE signed to a bad contract and then we traded up for Kincaid with the expectation he’d be a Laporta or Bowers for this offense. Didn’t love the move at the time. It’s still plenty early in Kincaid’s career, so hopefully it does happen at some point. The chemistry between he and Allen needs to become tighter.

Combination of name recognition and a couple of plays he made in nationally televised games. I wonder if we could use that designation this offseason and fleece some other team in a trade? The irony is Hamlin is one of the top 3 guys on defense I’d love to upgrade.

I think it happened after the Dunne piece to be honest. Blessing in disguise.

FTFY

I see him getting handled 1 on 1 pretty easily. Both him and Oliver. It’s shocking that neither guy isn’t more disruptive. At least get off a single block.

100% should be the approach, but you’ve gotta commit bodies to stopping them. Light boxes won’t get it done against that group, unless you’ve got a Ted Washington on the DL.

If they are the 6, they’ll duke it out with PIT in the wildcard. Actually the way it’s shaping up, I think those two teams will see each other regardless. I don’t think the Texans finish with the 3 seed in any scenario, they’re not strong enough.

Don’t think so. Ravens will be the 5 or 6 seed, can’t see the Bills dropping to 3.

At least Barkley went to an NFC team. Thanks, Giants.

Thought they’ve just been feasting on the NFC LEast, but looks like Philly’s defense is legit.

How long was the other one he missed?

When the Ravens are playing their best football, they’re arguably the most dangerous team in the league.

That should’ve been illegal contact on #14 Hamilton for the Ravens.

Once it was clear they’d make the playoffs, I stopped rooting against their regular season wins. Our 2nd round pick will be determined by how quick they get bounced from the tourney.

Who says there’s no significance to the number 13? Week 13 is a wacky one!

We want PIT to win the AFCN if we believe KC takes the 1 seed. That way, assuming higher seeds win, the Ravens will travel to KC in the divisional matchup and the Bills will play PIT.

Seems like these coaches were watching the Bears implosion and have erred on the side of caution.

Riq Woolen is a tad bit overrated I see. 6’4” CB with 4.3 speed, but I keep seeing him get burnt. That should’ve been a TD to Devante Adams, poor catch, even worse pass.

Glad he didn’t go to the Chiefs. Would’ve been one of those annoying Welker/Edelman reliable type players we would’ve had to defend.

Has to be entirely mental with Elam, not physical. If he was as mentally adept as the likes of Jamarcus Ingram and Cam Lewis, he’d go on the field in special packages ahead of those two. He may very well be CB2 next year if Douglas walks. I’d like to see he and Douglas platoon the position myself, Douglas has been rough as of late.

It’s supernatural how KC keeps winning

What’s the go to Lions message board? I’d like to see how their fans feel about the Bills.

Same thing I was thinking. Def illegal man downfield, linemen were even engaged before the pass was caught.

Declining the 5 yard penalty there is dumb. What if a player jumped offside? Or committed another 5 yard infraction? GB wanted the 5 yard defensive penalty because they’d probably go for it on 4th and 1. Don’t give them another down where they could get something flukey, push it back 5.
