I was looking at a projection of draft positions, 4 of the top 6 picks were Cinnci, Giants, Miami, & Jax (Bills were 24th BTW) Jets who also have two picks were a little lower. Of those four, the only one for certain needing a new QB would be Jax. Carolina was also in the top six and think the other one was Washington who both could use a new QB though there may be some hope in Washington. Certainly Washington and Carolina would want to try and move up, but neither of them have 2 first round picks. Of the three teams with 2 first round picks, Jax, Jets, Miami; Jax may have the best chance of having the two best picks. Certainly alot can change in the order between now and Jan, but of this one mock I was looking at made me think Jax had the best chance to move up to #1 overall because they may have the two best picks and two of the teams ahead, Giants and Bengals likely wouldn't need to move up.

Team that is in pretty good shape for draft picks is Jax. They have their own, plus the Raiders. Jets have their own, plus Seattle. Likely the Raiders pick will be a better one than the Seattle pick. Assuming Jax only wins 2 to 3 games, likely would give them a top 5 pick if not better. Add in the Raiders and could get themselves up to #1. Not sure if they have anyone left worth trading that would net a fairly high pick, if so, should do it as would likely make them weaker so lose more. Three #1's or two 1st rounders and an extra 2nd could maybe get you to the top depending on how far you'd need to move. For Jax, not likely a huge move.

And whenever they got inside the 10 yard line last year they'd give it to Frank Gore, and a cloud of dust later, we'd be one yard closer! on a good day! Would be interesting to see overall how the team did in general inside he 10 to 15 yard line as seemed like even when passing, we struggled with scoring from in close. Granted, that's probably the toughest for all teams. But last year, the defense would know as soon as Gore walked onto the field, the handoff was going to him. Since the field is now shortened, a little easier to blitz too which Allen tended to struggle with. Having said all that, don't think the problem is the running backs, more maybe the O line and last season Frank Gore.

The concept is good, but think he may be seeing things that aren't really there and yanking it back too many times.

Of all the so called sports shows on, LeBatard's show is probably the least sports oriented of them all. He wants to have a 4 hour show of laughing and joking and showing everyone that most of us all take sports too seriously. So to that point it's easy to put a blooper reel of Josh Allen "highlights" together. They've been going down that path so easy to continue and face it he did and still did this past Sunday provide a fair amount off material for this point. They don't care about the good plays, partly as has been stated no one wants to be proven wrong and they really aren't a sports show to begin with. Interesting too how he's been cut down to only 2 hours.

Sorry I just don't handle dumb ideas well!

Why? What does it accomplish other than putting the team in much worse cap trouble next season? Since you seem to think this is a great idea, please tell us who all you plan to cut next season to pay for Ertz and all the other players that need to be re-signed like Milano, extensions to Edwards, and Allan for starters? The method to being successful in the NFL these days is to get good to decent play from rookies ion cheap contracts sprinkled in with high priced high skilled players. There's 3 or 4 threads already discussing whether the Bills will be able to afford Milano next year already and you're just trying to make it worse. Knox had think it was 2 catches on 3 targets I saw?? With the WR the Bills have it makes more sense to play 3 WR than 2 TE to start with. And even with whomever is at TE with the WR's the team has, how many targets is the TE actually going to see? Will be surprised if Knox's numbers this year are much better than last year mainly because he won't be targeted as much. Your logic is to sit or take focus away from a cheap rookie contract for potentially a small improvement. And lastly we really have no idea how good Knox may even be and by bringing in someone like Ertz, you're taking playing time away from Knox so we may never know. Take away last seasons drops from Knox and he had a hell of a rookie season considering how weak the overall offense still was. Stick to your day job!

Thought the kickers they worked out last week were all no names. Thought more of a Covid protection. The coaches saw many more kicks by both Haush and Bass than anyone in the media ever did. I'd imagine the competition may not have even been nearly as close as the media made it out be be based on the kicks they saw, may have been why they released Hausch as early as they did. Having said that my guess is Bass has a much longer rope with this coaching staff than fans will give him.

Ok so I did this the other night and for the test asked for pizza near me and it went to Buffalo. Tried it again now using a browser I had not opened since I did this experiment on Thursday, but now it's defaulting back to my actual location. I do recall the other night too about asking me to OK current location, today I didn't get that pop up asking me. So how do I reinitialize? Or is the problem while I didn't use that browser since Thursday, I have used other ones, so that reset it? And if so how do I un-reset it?

But yet his PATS were right down the middle. Exactly without depth perception you can't tell. You can't say it was no good either. Though the ref can and from looking straight up he called it out. Really, how can you determine depth perception? If you can tell me that kick was in, please tell me the lottery numbers for Tuesday.

Agree and maybe besides muscle memory, it's plain old brain memory, being the first game he forgot how often he'd had it stripped out last season. He did improve as the year went by on the fumbling, will be interesting to see next week. Wouldn't be shocked either of Dabo gets a talking too from McD about not calling so many runs and putting him positions to be hit. You wonder WRT the gameplan how much of the specific is McD aware of. Like does he know how many times Dabo plan to call a run. Likely that's not even known prior by Dabo, may more just happen. But McD may tell him to makei happen much less.

But the one difference I see with Brown is his potential replacement is already on the roster in Davis. By next year he'll have one year experience under his belt. Where as this year with Murphy, there really wasn't a young cheap replacement for him. And they don't have a star on the other end like they do in Diggs. Hughes is good, but not a pro bowl type. I think Brown is worth keeping, but not sure how they can afford him and sign someone like a Milano unless the cap does go up a fair amount more next year than expected. I'd make the same argument to for keeping Milano as his replacement is not currently on the roster

Did you see the video from Miami of Ohio where the kid was positive, was told to quarantine so had the party at his house. He didn't go out, so figured he was following the rules!

That's exactly what I said. From my post Also sounds like most people develop symptoms within a week of exposure, but in some cases can be up to 14 days so to be cautious require a 14 day period.

Interesting as I just read an article on the Athletic who praised Oliver's game and commented how he created havoc for the Jet's. But I'm sure you know better!

The other somewhat surprise cut could be John Brown as he has a pretty hefty cap number assuming G Davis continues to impress unless Brown takes a big paycut. Smith too is an obvious one, maybe even Spain.

I voted for two, but could easily go with one game and maybe two scrimmages with another team as a viable alternative.

I clearly recall that pass to Knox, however he was throwing across his body on the run, with two Jet defenders about 10 yards closer directly in the throwing lane. So he had to be able to get it over their heads and still drop in with no ability for Knox to go deeper as was already in the far corner. Was a clear miss, but will give him the benefit on that one. Plus I believe they did still score a TD on that drive, or was that the first drive where he fumbled like 1 play later?

Common sense?? So are you proposing people who go to Miami come back and get tested and if it's negative they are fine, no worries? It takes up to 14 days after exposure before you could test positive and in turn pass on to others. You could return get tested every day for the first seven days and be negative, then stop being tested, then on day 11 you have the virus in you and are capable of passing it to others, and BTW could still test negative. Now you exposed the virus to others, finally on day 12 you develop symptoms yourself, get tested again and it comes back positive. No idea what your logic is that a negative test would mean you don't need to quarantine?? Having heard to from a couple of people who actually were sick with Covid, health officials were only concerned with the people they interacted with in the 48 hours prior to them developing symptoms. So apparently 5 days or so prior to a person having symptoms, they aren't able to be spreaders. Also sounds like most people develop symptoms within a week of exposure, but in some cases can be up to 14 days so to be cautious require a 14 day period.

It's hard to understand how Allan can carry the ball so loosely. He's one of the biggest strongest guys on the field, but you think by now he learn that he needs to better protect it and cradle it to his body. There were a couple other times, he could have just as easily fumbled it based on how he was carrying it. Maybe it's a case of WR and RB have enough experience running with the ball and defenders trying to strip it, that they just naturally protect it better. Josh with more limited times running with the ball, he is used to doing it against other who are much weaker so he can get away with it, but not in the NFL.

The kick was very close, but how can the announcers or anyone looking at a view from the end zone tell depth perception. I'll take the refs position right under the post as having the best view. Could it be a mistake, possible, but no one can tell from the TV replays unless they have a camera on the bottom of the goal post that shows the kick which I didn't see any replays of.

As long as DTV offers them the most $$, likely won't change. Wouldn't be shocked though the next contract DTV doesn't offer as much now that owned by ATT so that may be good news.

Just hop they don't get conservative in the 2nd half like they seemed to often happen last season when the game wasn't completely out of reach.

Is it my imagination or are Bass's extra points just look so much stronger than last year? They would have been good from 40 yard!

Just saw a shot of Gruden on the sideline. Looked like he took up a new hobby to stay busy, eating??
