That video link of Elam's play this season is pretty wow. Man, he is terrible. Just terrible.

That's not true regarding awareness on the first play. Smith argues and shows that Coleman never looks at where the DB is, and the way he catches it illuminates this. This is a play that arguably could have gone for more yards if he catches it with his hands and turns upfield immediately rather than hugging it and slowing down. Maybe he's gunshy because of the fumble vs NE, but that's not elite (or even good) receiver-level play. As for the other one, it was a piss poor effort. I don't think that's debatable. During the game thread, commenters thought so too. He doesn't come back for the ball at all but just stands there. Maybe it wasn't a great route combination, but you gotta do better than that.

He's on pace for 1,008 yards and is clearly playing well.

This is brutal. But I cannot disagree.

As @Kirby Jackson so aptly put it, Meyers is the final boss of the JAGs.

Love this! Thanks for the link.

There was a breakdown of his game on video in the offseason. He is a terrible route runner who takes way too many steps, presumably trying to juke people. It slows him down and makes it very easy to cover him. He is just not good at the running and getting open part of football.

The price should in theory go down, though, if a team gets the player for fewer games. Maybe not, though.

Tell that to Von Miller!

The reffing in that game was pretty terrible. It cost the Bills.

Taylor played well in that Seattle game despite the loss.

No one here is going to complain about an overpay in a win-now year.

This game is over.

And Washington has zero points. I realize and hope that changes momentarily …

Omg - did not realize josh johnson was still rostered! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Josh_Johnson_(quarterback) The ultimate pro football scavenger! Tampa Bay Buccaneers (2008–2011) San Francisco 49ers (2012)* Sacramento Mountain Lions (2012) Cleveland Browns (2012) Cincinnati Bengals (2013) San Francisco 49ers (2014) Cincinnati Bengals (2015)* New York Jets (2015)* Indianapolis Colts (2015) Buffalo Bills (2015) Baltimore Ravens (2016)* New York Giants (2016) Houston Texans (2017) Oakland Raiders (2018)* San Diego Fleet (2018)* Washington Redskins (2018) Detroit Lions (2019) Los Angeles Wildcats (2020) San Francisco 49ers (2020)* New York Jets (2021) Baltimore Ravens (2021) Denver Broncos (2022) San Francisco 49ers (2022) Baltimore Ravens (2023–2024) Washington Commanders (2025–present)

Fair point! But … AFL. The NFL was way more talented in the first half of the 60s.

If the Bills beat KC, this is actually a good thing for the Bills.

??? - SF is 26th in points per game, 13th in yards per game, and 21st in points per drive. See my post above about the corresponding Bills’ metrics.

The Bills are currently 4th in points per game, 3rd in yards per game, and 4th in points per drive. The rushing game is 1st in yards, 2nd in TDs, and 3rd in ypc. Allen has his second best qb rating of all time (after 2020) and is on pace for 41 total TDs. There is a huge problem at the boundary receiver position that has to be dealt with, but the last 1.5 seasons may be the best coordinated o-line game in franchise history. Brady has flaws, but he absolutely has strengths.

But entirely expected. Hopefully Sanders’s development can be accelerated. That said, I have no idea how severe whatever injury he has is.

Cook is the league's leading rusher on a per game basis. The Bills have played one less game than Indy.

Anyone interested in Calais Campbell? He'd have to agree to a trade (no sure thing), but he's still productive: https://www.pro-football-reference.com/players/C/CampCa99.htm. AZ's season is probably over given that division and I can see them being sellers.

Haha! I give the prize of worst of all time to Marangi. Marangi had the benefit of handing the ball off to arguably the greatest RB of all time (he's certainly in top five) and an excellent line. Indeed, the whole electric company played pretty much every game that season (Joe D, Reggie McKenzie, Mike Montler, Dave Foley, Paul Seymour, and Donnie Green) and OJ led the league in rushing (1,503 yards in 14 games). And Bobby Chandler was a great player at that moment in time. Considering the relative contexts, I think you gotta give the prize to Marangi: a 35.3 percent completion rate, 7 TDs, 16 INTs, an 8.7 percent sack rate, and a 30.8 rating. Peterman's two ratings were 38.4 and 30.7, but he was on low-talent squads (especially 2018).

FWIW, I thought Davis caught that pass and that the Bills would have won a challenge. It wasn't a sure thing, though, and it was too meager of a gain to waste a challenge on.

Shaheed has had 215 touches in his career (receptions, rushes, kick returns) and has had 4 fumbles. Seems normal, more or less. Maybe slightly on the high end in terms of percentage, but it's in the range of normal.
