    Time out on extra point

    in The Stadium Wall

    Posted

    My guess is it was a multitude of things. Bills players obviously in that scenario we’re celebrating a huge play that just occurred and it was likely that the whole team was celebrating in some fashion.

     

    The play was also a sudden change of possession, FG units are made up of all 3 sides of the ball. It was unlikely all 11 guys were corralled in time after the celebrating and were all over the sideline to be found. 
     

    The FG at the time was crucial in the game. The Bills were up 3 points before the XP. Don’t want to take the chance of missing because we rushed the FG team in bad weather vs taking your time and making it a touchdown game 

    Colts to bring in ….. Philip Rivers for workout

    Cincy could cut Flacco….


    Why would Cincinnati release him? I see people saying this. If that’s the case why not Russell Wilson or Jameis Winston etc. I’d think it’s more likely an NFC team would release their guy but technically you’re not allowed to tamper right now with guys under contract nor should the player know that a team is interested. I know that doesn’t always happen obviously with Slay and Philly but they shouldn’t

    I'm not saying you 

     

    But look at even some other Patriots fans here who are getting into it with the Bills fans here ... I've never thought about going on another team's forum yet plenty of AFC people have their fans on our forum 

     

    And there's pot stirring

     

    You're solid dude

     


    I feel like we don’t go to boards of other teams mostly because in comparison to here those boards are dead. We also have a lot of knowledgeable fans on this board as well, though we do like everyone who have people talking out their ass as well. 
     

    As for the other part, if you tell me I can be the 5 seed with Pittsburgh as the 4 seed  and then my road is a NE/Den team in the divisional round I’ll take my chances. Doesn’t mean Buffalo will win all 3 games either but I like those odds over playing a Houston or Baltimore team or even KC if they squeeze into the 7 seed

    MNF: Eagles vs. Chargers (no Bills stuff please)

    As for KC's chances, don't sleep on Miami.  The Dolphins and Chiefs have the same record (6-7).  The Dolphins play at Pittsburgh, Cinci and Tampa Bay in Miami, and at NE.  The Chiefs play the Chargers in KC, at Tennessee, Denver at home, and at Las Vegas.  KC's schedule is obviously easier, with two cupcakes but also two tough games that happen to be in KC.  But, now that Tua has actually won a cold weather game, going in to Pittsburgh for what will be a trap game for the Steelers could open the door for a late run.  I particularly want Miami to be playing for something in their last game, against the Patriots. 

     I want the Chargers to be highly motivated when they play the Texans.  If they lose tonight and at KC, that makes six losses so even if (when) they beat the Cowboys, the Chargers will need that win against Houston.  Go Eagles!


    Yup I’ve said it too Miami is kind of a weird dark horse. Their schedule isn’t easy but none of those games thru can’t win. I want them to lose to the Steelers though so Pittsburgh can stay a top of North

    More Bengals Blunders. Trey Hendrickson to have surgery.

    I said it in another thread that it’s hilarious and Hendrickson played this injury perfectly. 
     

    Im going to hold out because I’m way underpaid and want an extension. Bengals refuse to extend him and give him like an 18 million dollar pay increase. Gets hurt all season and might be too old and injured for the Bengals , who are financially conscious, now to franchise him , so he’ll still be a Free Agent next year , healthy and get a good contract. 
     

    I usually don’t advocate for this, but with Mike Brown being a cheap ass I’m okay I’m with it in this scenario

    Idk man.  If we have Bernard, Shaq and Dorian in the fold, I think we can snag a LB in rd 3.  There’s been a handful of solid LBs taken in rd 3.   I’d rather not wait til the 3rd rd for a WR or DE.  
     

    as it stand, we have Rousseau, Solomon, Jackson and Hoecht (who might kiss some time early).  If we resign Bosa or another legit pass rusher, then maybe we can wait on DE, but we’ll probably be in the same position again next year.  PS squad guys and defensive tackles playing snaps at DE.  
     

    Investing a first or 2nd into WR (via trade or draft) seems like a no brainer, no?

     

    if your point is that LB is so important in McDs defense that it needs a stud to operate, I can dig it.  You have a better understanding of if that is the truth than I do, but I currently think a good pass rusher would help more significantly than an off ball LB.  

     

    Well said.  
     

    Another thing about Cam, I love his effort out there.  He’s at a physical disadvantage against everyone he draws, but he has the advantage in heart.  The kids gives it 💯 + every play


    I don’t disagree that WR and DE are also a priority  and a high one. I think that’s why Taron Johnson gets kept unless there is a player they just can’t pass up on the board in the draft  or in free Agency. 
     

    The bad news is we won’t have the draft pick capital of the last two years. Now certainly Beane can manipulate that with trade downs and trading away players( Keon Coleman ) etc but as it stands right now they are not in a great spot to add too many impact guys through the draft. 
     

    If we cut the usual suspects for next year. Curtis Samuel, Taylor Rapp, Tyler Bass and so on and the cap increases like last year we should have somewhere in the neighborhood of 40 million under the cap which seems like a lot but comparably it’s not

    I agree that Taron will be retained.  Regarding the secondary as a whole, We are set at 3 of the 5 starting spots (Benford, Hairston, Bishop.  I’d give Hancock 50% chance to fill 1 of those spots (at either nickel or S).  We’ll see how he progresses but he has the physical traits and seems like a bright kid. The Strong injury really hurts as he looked like a solid backup with potential to be a decent starter.  
     

    The LB situation is pretty crazy.  Shaq and Milano both FA’s.  Bernard and  Dorian under contract and will be back 💯 unless Dorian is somehow traded.  Shaq is our best LB atm imo and Milano has been playing better and has been a core player.  
     

    How can we move on from Shaq after how he’s played?  He wants to play for McD and considering his age, I doubt he’ll be getting a big pay day.  He should be back if he stays healthy the remainder of the year.  I could see us moving on from Milano and should probably draft a lb in the first 4 rounds.

     

    I think the plan will be to draft a LB, slot, S and CB to develop.  Hancock (and possibly Savage if he fits well) could compete for a starting position.  Bernard, Shaq (or Milano) and Dorian + draft pick.  
     

    I hope that our priority resources will be invested into WR, OL and Pass rush.   Unless McD just wants to load up on man coverage specialists and go blitz happy, we need to replace (or resign) Bosa.  We’ll be getting Ed and Hoecht back and they’ll help immensely, but we’re sure to lose another pass rusher to injury again next season. More talent getting after the QB please.  Can never have enough 


    So when I mean 2nd level I mean MLB/WLB/NCB. I actually think our back 4 for the future is set. Benford, Hairston, Bishop, Hancock. The loss of Strong(if he is lost) is big because it would have given the Bills a solid cheap 3rd CB. We have zero depth though in the back but usually you can find backup safeties for cheap. 
     

    I could see them bringing back Thompson like you said and he has played well when he’s played but that’s always been the problem with him. He’s always getting injured. I don’t think you can rely on him for 17 games. I think you have to keep Dorian but I think to this point he’s proven to be a good backup and Special teams guy more than a Starter. 
     

    Bernard won’t be gone but they should replace him as soon as it’s feasible to do because he’s an average player on a bad contract who is also injury prone. 
     

    This is where you run into issues. If your not going to replace Bernard, and your not going to replace Taron Johnson, then the only area to upgrade is Milanos spot and adding a guy in round 3 or 4 won’t make much of a difference. That guy has to be drafted in round 1 or 2. I think that’s why the Bills were highly linked to Carson Schwesinger last year in the lead up to the draft and honestly is looking like a great pick for Cleveland. 
     

    Then we need to address DE, DT, WR, IOL.

    The good news is we restructured Taron's contract for our trade deadline acquisition (I know I know there are other reasons but this is more fun to say)


    I already looked it up if we post June 1st him we will save 7.6 million but I think they keep him one more year because there is no replacement for him. I will be harping big time to replace the 2nd level of the defense next year.

    I understand what he’s saying, and it’s definitely intended for Hopkins but I’m not sure that football gets there. He was wide open but the ball kind of comes out funny of Lamar’s hands and either wouldn’t have enough on it to get there or allow the defenders would have closed on it.

    Would be nice but to me the most likely scenario is that the Texans win out and they win the division.

     

    But yeah many things can still happen, including us getting seed 1.


    It’s still going to be very tough for the Texans to win the division mostly because Jacksonvilles schedule is very soft as well. 
     

    Jacksonvilles last 4 games is 

     

    Jets(w/Brady Cook?)

    Broncos (tough game but still winnable)

    Colts(w/Riley Leonard)

    Titans 

     

    Jacksonville is going 3-1 at minimum and very well could go 4-0. Houston would have to go 4-0 to catch Jacksonville. Houston would win the division in this scenario though. So really that division is going to come down to Jacksonville beating Denver or Houston losing to the Chargers

    Thing is if Houston wins tonight, but loses the division to Jacksonville which is very likely, the Texans will be a lower seed than Buffalo in the playoffs and if they were to meet Houston would have to come to Buffalo. I like my chances a hell of a lot better then the nightmare of going back to Houston where they never win.
