Players still under contract that are released don't count in the Comp pick calculation.

According to Sal C, if IR'ed now, the player is done for the year. He has also stated that the limit on Practice Squad elevations are unlimited during the playoffs.

The Buffalo Bills are listing the following players as INACTIVE for today's Wild Card game against the Steelers: WR Gabe Davis S Taylor Rapp LB Tyrel Dodson CB Rasul Douglas OL Alec Anderson DE Kingsley Jonathan DT Poona Ford Unfortunately no Rasul, but K. Elam gets his first action since coming off IR. Linval over Poona

That’s not his artwork, he’s down in Miami as he stated.

They flip flop them every year, at least in recent history. Next fall the Bills will be in the sun again. Unfortunately I don't think the league gives a flip about the unfair advantage (and severe health risks) those conditions present. The Bills can't put up sun shades unless the other team does (ridiculous League rules), and of course the Dolphins are already in the shade so they don't need them; thus they're denying the Bills to do so.

Actually that was Ed McMahon that said that... to Johnny 😉

fyi: ‘“Not everything’s been perfect, and he has had a nagging ankle,” Beane said. “We’re discussing whether to shut him down or not and let it heal. So he has been a scratch, I wouldn’t say he’s been a 100% healthy scratch, part of it has been it hasn’t worked out perfectly in the games so far.”’

This is taking place on a tract of land at your house? So are you keeping track of those tracts?

After adjusting for inflation that $19 million is $26,635,951 in today's dollars, which is still being doubled by the current Qb signings. It just shows how these salaries have incredibly ballooned. https://www.usinflationcalculator.com/

My question was to Gunner Bill as to why he said "Miami to win fewer games than last year is a safe bet IMO." It was not about how Josh and the Bills would fair against them, but why he thought Miami would decline from last year when it appears they strengthened their roster.

I'm curious why you think that. Do you think Jalen Ramsey is washed now and DC Vic Fangio is not an upgrade?

I resemble that remark!

Likewise, he was my source of Bills' news in my youth (not in my 70's yet 😀) as that was my family's newspaper down in that area. Unlike today's internet age with a plethora of info at your finger tips, one back then was dependent on a decent reporter to get any depth of football news.

…or a high motor?

That's a great story and a nice memory during a difficult time; awesome of that Limo driver to do that for you. I'm guessing your moniker comes from "Sweet Lou" Piccone. I've not thought about him in years.

They converted base salary into a bonus, creating another $5.4 million in cap space. Diggs’ cap hits now will be $14.8 million in 2023, $27.8 million in 2024, $27.3 million in 2025, $28.4 million in 2026 and $22.5 million in 2027.

The Raiders are supposed to be very interested.

Boettger is a free agent and I think his time in Buffalo is up. He's never been quality starter material.

In the interview Tua was asked what the hardest stadium was for him to play in. His answer "Buffalo"......."that was electrifying." around the 3:13 mark Also said he is now taking a Judo class once a week so he can "learn how to fall" to avoid future concussions. around the 2:20 mark She's not the greatest interviewer 😕 https://twitter.com/i/status/1624162520478130176

or actually Reuben Foster 🤨

Arthur Smith made it a point to say that Mariota's benching was "performance based" and not because he was likely going on IR. This isn't a tank job. Ridder looked good in the pre season games I saw; better than Mariota to me, who was generally seen as "a placeholder" here. Further, Josh earlier this year said he was impressed by Ridder, who was out training with him at Palmer's place in CA. The Falcons are generally devoid of talent and not going very far unless Ridder is a miracle maker. I think the locker room will perceive the move as a positive.

As a young kid I got his autograph when the Bills trained in a field at the Blasdell Motel (wow, hard to believe that now). Years later (2005ish) Jack was a speaker at a conference my wife was at. She told him I had gotten his autograph as a kid, so he wrote me a note and signed it. He was always approachable, upbeat and amiable.

However he was listed as FP, Full Participant, on WED. injury report. So he must be near healed up. I'm wondering if those 88 snaps he took in Miami really drained him and had a lasting effect. Diggs constantly took himself out of that game and afterwards had 2 IV's, yet Gabe played virtually every offense snap.

You are missing nothing. The League doesn't go to tie breakers unless there are identical won/loss records. The 14-3 noted above is the #1 seed.

I wasn't surprised to see him inactive. In looking over the roster I thought he may be the candidate to be sent to the practice squad when Tre comes back. If tonight is an indication, that D-line rotation is going to be tough to crack.
