I am HIGHLY aware of the LSD game. But … overall he wasn’t a wild pitcher.

Doc had a pretty darn good walk rate over his career: 2.9 walks per 9 innings: https://www.baseball-reference.com/players/e/ellisdo01.shtml

Kirby has been saying the same for literally years!

Just throwing this out there re: Shaheed: https://saintsreport.com/threads/just-how-fast-is-rashid-shaheed.496430/

This just occurred to me: is the Bills receiving corps the trash mob you have to fight your way through to get to the final boss of the JAGs?

This is exactly true. He hasn't been that bad. At this point, he's a mediocre NFL CB -- a JAG, but a legit NFL-level JAG. The people behind him are worse -- way worse.

“Final Boss of JAG WRs” is brilliant!

I did not realize that. Thanks for that info. I will confess to not having watched any Titans games.

I didn't include him because I just don't see Philly getting rid of their best receiver in a year in which they're trying to repeat.

Well, they dropped two INTs (Cam Lewis and Shaq Thompson).

I didn't bring up Meyers and Wilson can definitely play outside.

He is a first round talent. Who have the Bills drafted in the first round since Josh Allen who is better than him? The only upper echelon receiver they’ve had in this era was obtained by trading a first round pick.

Going through the league and looking at teams that aren’t going anywhere and who possess a genuine #1. Jets: Garrett Wilson. They are not trading him, and certainly not to the Bills. Dolphins: Waddle. I actually think he is slightly more plausible than Wilson in terms of willingness to trade, but only by a tiny bit. And I can’t see him being traded to the Bills at all. I would trade a first for him, though. Browns: Jeudy. Maybe? He’s a better player than many think, but the Bills haven’t had luck with Browns castoffs these past two years. Bengals: Chase/Higgins. Neither is being traded. They are being saved for next year because Cincy has the QB. (Ravens: Nobody because even though they are 1-5, they appear to still see themselves as still in it.) Titans: Calvin Ridley. Plausible. Raiders: No one moves the needle for me. Giants: No one; Wandale Robinson isn’t a position fit and is a JAG anyway. Saints: Olave. Perfect, but I just don’t see the Saints robbing their offensive minded head coach of his best receiver. I would trade a first for him. Saints: Brandon Cooks. This is basically an Amari Cooper move. No thanks. Cardinals: Harrison, Jr. Not happening. At the end of the day, the only people I’m seriously inquiring about are Olave, Ridley, Jeudy (maybe), Waddle, and Wilson, but with the expectation that the latter two are no-gos.

That was blatant, textbook DPI. It was the right call.

Does any team have more holds called on them on kick returns than the Bills?

Kinda my point.

It is remarkable. It’s shocking that they are only down 14.

Not to justify the reffing, but that is a catch in my book. His left hand had total control of the ball all the way through, and the fact that it hit the ground is irrelevant given the Bert Emmanuel rule. Players make one handed catches all the time, and that’s basically what Kelce did there.

This is pretty amusing: https://forums.theganggreen.com/threads/2025-nfl-season-week-6-jets-vs-broncos.101041/page-36

ESPECIALLY when the qb is Fields and he’s been sacked 8 times up to that point.

I thought it was behind him, and on the replay the fact he slipped seemed to be because of that. Fields is so bad.

I would absolutely put in Tyrod now.

Deion ran a 4.27 40 coming out of FSU!

October 1987: two first round picks and Greg Bell for Cornelius Bennett.

The Athletic didn't really say that. It said that even his bad games are good games (and the stats bear that out for the Pats game - he was in fact reasonably good but not great). In any event, scoring only 20 at home is not going to win you a ton of games. The pick in the red zone was, however, pretty egregious. As soon as he threw it, visions of Devin McCourty from a couple years back leapt into my head. It was a terrible decision and looked like a pick the moment it left his hand. He hadn't thrown a terrible pick like that in a long time.
