Highly doubt many teams worry about the Bills passing game too much when they know or #2 WR is McKenzie. He should be the #4 or 5 who plays a few plays bringing in some special surprise type plays. Overall would prefer they draft a pass rushing De in the 1st round as they are harder to find in FA. Draft a WR in the 2nd or 3rd, but also sign a good FA WR who starts next year. WR often takes some time to develop, would rather not rely on a rookie for that. Also draft one O lineman, tackle preferred. Don't sign Spain and move Ford inside.

2017 was a 3 way tie, San Diego, Balt ,and Buffalo so then head to head goes out and don't think we even played Baltimore. Having said that, the likelihood of the last playoff spot coming down to only two teams tied at 9-7 is fairly low IMO. So good chance head to head does go out the window. At 10 wins not as likely to se three teams tied at that record. Likely Indy loses next week, Oak has a good chance of winning out as far as teams they are playing. But they've also lost three straight,. so who knows. Tenn may lose all three or win only one remaining game. Even if Buffalo loses the next two and beats the Jets' they are very likely in. Supposed it's possible to have a 4 way tie between Buffalo, Texans, Tenn, and Pitt, at that point, who knows who's in and out.??

I have to imagine opposing teams aren't too worried about facing our offense when they know our #2 WR is McKenzie, no offense to him, but he should be the #4 or #5, guy who comes in for a few change of pace plays. They need one more top level offensive lineman, likely for RT Knox also has made some pretty amazing plays too, way to soon to give up on him. He's caught more passes this year than he did in college, he's a project that will take some time. But understand patience isn't something people here have. Need instant success or he's a bust.

Either way they needed a TD-PAt and a TD with a 2 pt conversion. If they miss the 2 pt on either TD score, then they'd need another TD and a field goal. Either way they needed the same scores, only thing for debate is the order. Could also argue going for two earlier gives them more time to know what they need to do the remainder of the game as far as 1 or 2 scores. It's also possible that if they miss the two and need two scores with was it 7 minutes left, they'd try an on-sides kick. The odds of on-sides kicks being sucessful is very low, the only ones thta work are when the receiving team isn't expecting it, certainly more likely to happen with 7 minutes to go than say 2 minutes.

OK, but then who is your return man? On punts could use Hyde, but that can be risky if he were to get hurt. Even if you were to dress Williams, he'd be like the #5 WR What they need is a big body #2 WR which Williams isn't, not this year anyway and likely never.

If you're moving Ford (which I'm fine with) why do you then need a guard? I'd think Morse, Ford, Feleciano, and Dawkins is a good 4 to start with. Wouldn't be upset either if they moved Dawkins to the right side either. Moving Ford back and forth as much as they have including during pre-season hasn't helped him or any rookies development for that matter. Agree overall, we're a year away. Need another good legit WR, doesn't have to be a #1 either but a good #2 i.e. Brown clone would do. One lineman, a bruising RB usually they can be found in FA. On defense, one or two DE and OLB plus overall LB depth

That's something that can improve with experience.

Give it up! Williams isn't playing, even if they were to activate, he's not seeing the field. Likely if they didn't dress Roberts it would be someone else other than Williams. Give up the love fest and say good bye as barring a huge off season improvement, not likely he'll be here next year..

They're going to have a lot of work to do for that as feel overall there's too much talent to end up in last to get Lawrence. Need to trade many for picks or something to get that bad that fast.

yes I've reddit too. A friend told me the new site works even better. Didn't know about the Mafia thing on FB, will have to check it out

Guess I may need to watch it at my friends house who always finds these on line streams that are available. Well can at least use the 1:00 game as a model off where to find it.

Agree but then why does it say NFL-Network on 506 sports? Actually last nights game for example on 506 lists it as Fox/NFL-Network. The link you found that lists a Boston station broadcasting the game would make it appear it will also be on local TV. I'm not in Western NY though so will it be on local TV all over the county I know even Monday night games on ESPN are always available to be broadcast over the air to local flagship station. I don't understand though why the Thursday night games are being shown on two different stations though either Fox and NFLN?? How does that help either with ratings? That always annoyed me as very unfair when I lived in Rochester. So if a game was on ESPN on Monday it would also be on local TV in Buffalo and the home city of whatever team we were playing. Buffalo only though, no other stations like Rochester could show it. But if the Bills didn't sell out, then Rochester, Syracuse, etc were all considered part of the home market and the game was blacked out. Very much NFL having it both ways. Just saw your last post about exclusive on NFLN. The flagship station I mentioned about Monday night games also could explain why Boston station is showing it over the air. Likely also Buffalo station will air it. But anyplace else, you're out of luck! (like me)

Correct the Bills NE game, all the Saturday games are listed as NFL network. Does that mean no over the air broadcast, or just produced by NFL network?

as was stated, much more experience on the Balt. side. Also Greg Roman is the ultimate guy suited to coach Jackson. He did a similar thing in San Fran with Kap But like in San Fran will it be sustainable? Roman is being quoted as a potential hot HC candidate. If someone signs him, they better hope to also draft another Jackson clone for QB. Otherwise he'll look like he did in Buffalo as the OC.

The game against NE, see that is listed as NFL network. Does that mean no over the air broadcast? Or will it be like these Thursday night games which also list as NFL network, but are on Fox? Believe that means produced by NFL network, but Fox is airing them??

JJ may be the most football knowledgeable owner in the league, but he's the least football knowledgeable GM in the league.

I agree with good chance he doesn't last long either due to injury or teams figuring him out. Was a bit surprised that you think he has a weaker arm even than TT?? and I thought that was the biggest knock on TT, a weak arm.

I'll be surprised if they sign Spain as likely will try for a big contract which someone will offer. Think the Bills would rather draft a guy for that position, cheaper and aligns with the "build thru the draft" concept.

Kind of surprised with the Bill's recent success, we haven't heard anything from Hitler as to what he thinks these days. Last I recall he had a meltdown after the TO signing.

Was listening to someone from ESPN talking about him in glowing terms; a players coach, a disciplinarian, great a defense, on and on. Couldn't help but wonder, so then why was he ever fired if all this is true?

If the Bills were to win out or at least 3 out of 4 including this week, I think he'd get it. If they lose to Balt. and Balt. keeps the #1 or #2 seed, likely will go to Harbough in particular with what he's done with Jackson who was the #32 overall pick. And a great defense too. Ditto for Beane.

With as many people who decline, should be easy for him to go, particularly since it's now in Orlando, not exactly the hotbed of the world. Seems the only ones interested are the young guys who haven't gone before. Mahommes, Jackson, & Watson will be picked for certain, however good chance one of them will not be available as playing in the super Bowl (Maybe will happen to Allen too) so the next choices would likely be between Allen and Mayfield. Likely little to no interest from Brady and Rivers to bother going

So then you call in sick! LOL As bad as Kraft is doing, wonder how long they'll still keep the naming rights?

Would surprise me CBS wouldn't be upset as they'd have three late games then without having the doubleheader game as you're moving @ San Diego to a day game i.e. 4:05 I don't really like it with a Saturday afternoon game the following week.

Exactly, then we'd have five on the active roster. Can't see that happening. Based on what I've read here, believe it's too much dead money to cut Star this off-season, need to keep him at least one more season. Agree, Shaq does worry me a bit too in having a great year in a contract year. If they cut Murphy I just worry about bringing in two new DE in the same season though we did bring in 4 new O-lineman and that worked OK. Reading your list of FA, not many DE on there. On Miller, voidable by him or the team?
