Ed_Formerly_of_Roch

I will say on the spot, when the play first happened and watching it live, my first thought was he started the slide to early and don't think he made the first down. Seeing the replay, yes was a poor spot and he made it. But the refs don't have the benefit of replay. Maybe they should, but then the games would be 4 hours long and we'd be staying up till 1:00 till the end of the game.

How many times do you see a game winning FG attempt with a running clock and time expires as the kick is made. Most of the time teams either end up kicking with maybe 15 seconds left with running clock or the clock is stopped. My point being this was somewhat of a very uncommon situation so easy to say afterwards what they should have done instead. I'm actually surprised the Ravens didn't fake an injury as you do get one extra a 4th TO for injury if a team is out outs. After the one the rules change as to how handled.

Was listening to ex Ryan's comments yesterday. They were discussing if Ravens should have went for it on 4th and 3 at the end. He says Ravens problems are they and he was actually referring to Harbaugh is they play like they still have Ed Reed and Ray Lewis on the team and their defense is going to win the game for them. But these days their offense is their strength and they need to play that way, but they don't.

Recall when Diggs first came to Buffalo, Allen was quoted as saying I told Diggs there are 3 things I want in a WR, catch the ball, get open and can't recall the 3rd, but wasn't anything much. So yes Allen likes the "Get open" type of guy, go wherever you need to get open. Recall reading last spring that Hollins had a reputation of not running his routes exactly and free lanced often. That may be why the Bills didn't sign him. While Allen may like that type of mindset, for the most part coaches don't. Diggs was good enough that the team put up with, but Hollins wasn't.

He's a good insurance policy in case someone gets hurt, and everything I hear/read, very little saving by getting rid of him, either being cut or traded.

Could be. It could be one of these things, if all the WR s are healthy, then Samuel sits because the #5 WR needs to play ST. But if someone is hurt, then Samuel plays and likely has more snaps than Moore.

But who should they have sat instead? You didn't answer that part. Bosa, Groot, AJ, or Solomon? the punter, the backup center, who? And if you say Solomon why wouldn't you expect a 5th rounder with a year under his belt to be better than a rookie? Is Jackson likely better than the backup center , Green probably he is , but players not dressing are based on numbers by position, not overall.

Any links to the roster with players by position and inactives? Never mind, found it https://x.com/BuffaloBillsPR/status/1964823990566081018/photo/1

Really which DE should they have sat? The only one you could make an argument for would be Solomon. But the only difference between them is Solomon was a 5th round pick with a year experience and think a year experience trumps the difference between a 3rd and 5th round pick. Would it be less disappointing to see a 5th round pick with a year experience not dressed?

Actually it was #23, but yeah that was the guy I was thinking of when I said McConkey

OK I was thinking of a WR maybe taken in low 20's?? Thought that was McConkey??

Yeah but sounds like he's no longer being considered a role player, now he's treated as a regular every down starter. Do agree was near end off 1st round and they were a strong team, but their WR room isn't the best either. Would they have been better trading up a few more spots to get a guy like McConkey and maybe they tried?

Taking a guy like Worthy for gimic like plays isn't a bad idea, but taking him in 1st round, and then using him as an every down player is risky. Could turn out this is the only injury of his career or was just lucky last year. Was funny injury happened right after announcers said KC plans to use him more this year

I am a bit surprised based on the normal responses here that we're up the page 3 and haven't seen anyone take the conversation about a groin pull into the gutter yet. We must be getting more mature around here!!

So that probably would be OK except when you're down 2 points and at the 25 yard line with 3 seconds to go in game. In that case I'd take my chance on FG over scoring TD. If the same happens with 10 minutes left, I'd be more OK with going for it as you likely don't need 25 yards for the first down and even if you do get stopped, you have another 10 minutes to figure something else out, revert to plan B I assume Bass is on the recall list that can be brought back after 4 weeks if ok?

I read they are going to cut Poyer, so they can sign Davis, then move him to unable to perform list, then resign Poyer

A much better title would have been: Isaiah Likely likely to be out for the Bills Ravens game

I remember those days, Pat Summeral and Frank Gifford on CBS and Curdy Gowdy and Al Deragodis (sp) on NBC then Merlon Olson for awhile

OK should have known Jackson, other names, no idea on their background

you sure? I've read they do count towards the cap??

So have Phillips, Poyer, Davis, and who else are the vets?

Agree we didn't lose a starter or even the first backup coming onto the field. A week ago there was speculation whether Carter was going to be cut, so really doubt we need to worry about replacing him. Very likely he wouldn't have even dressed unless someone else got hurt and now that they signed Phillips, he may have taken the injured players spot first. Add to that we have a DT coming back in 6 weeks which many speculated Carter may have got cut then to make room

Are you new around here? LOL I Sander's doesn't have 3 sacks Sunday night, and Hairston and Int (even though he's on IR) somebody here will say they both suck or Hairston is injury prone. It takes very little here for posters to draw a negative opinion on a player. Seems like it's to show how smart they are. Agree, think Kincaid can be much better than Knox long term. Will be interesting to see if he has worked on his blocking some too.

If you look at the year they both had last year, Knox was the better overall TE. But Kincaid certainly has way more potential to be the best, but needs to show it, until then, hard to argue with Andrew Son. Kincaid certainly looked good in pre-season so hopefully by mid October there will be no doubt who is the best and the answer will be Kincaid. Also agree that to say Kincaid sucks says you're pretty much clueless.

Didn't see this posted from BN A league source told The Buffalo News on Sunday that second-year defensive tackle DeWayne Carter tore his Achilles tendon during Wednesday’s practice and will miss the year. The news was first reported by NFL reporter Jordan Schultz.
