Fair question. Of course, hindsight is tough to battle since we already know how it worked out, but (just 2019) at the time I would’ve liked them to be in on:
- Desean Jackson;
- OBJ;
- Kenny Stills;
- Emanuel Sanders; or
- the 2019 Draft.
You can’t solve everything in one offseason and there are other factors at play with some of these guys, but any one of these moves would’ve improved our offense.
Fair enough!
Maybe (hopefully) this offseason is when Beane takes a homerun swing to help take Josh to that next level. I don't think OBJ would have fit in with the culture McDermott is trying to build here, but I'd have liked one of Sanders of DJax. It's just my gut, but I really think Beane wants to get bigger at WR, and none of those guys can offer that.

I also wonder, since this deal isn't finalized, if Houston leaked this to drive other teams to offer more.

I’m not saying Beane and McD don’t get this concept. But, they haven’t shown the urgency I’d like to see with aggressively adding offensive weapons to take advantage of this window (and no, I’m not just talking about the past 2 hours the tampering window is open). I’m not saying they haven’t tried or aren’t trying, but eventually you’ve got to take a shot while Josh is cheap.
Not accusatory here or anything, just genuinely curious. Can you share some other trades for offensive weapons that occurred that you'd have liked to see Beane and co. pursue?

1- Can't tell if negative or positive reaction.
2- What is he doing with his hand?
This is definitely a "what the *****" type reaction from Stills, just as it is from everyone else in the NFL.

Not sure BOB would have traded him in-conference. Plus we dont have a stud RB to offer. Bummer.
After looking at the terms of the trade I'm not so sure BOB is smart enough to not trade him within the conference lol.

What in the world is Houston doing?! Wish we had beat that offer.

Same. If he leaves, I want him out of the division.

With Norman/ Wallace signed why do we need more CBs?
I don't have a ton of faith in Wallace, Norman was pretty bad last season, and I don't expect Kevin Johnson to return.

Would love this

I hope we're able to bring him back at a reasonable rate, but I'm not expecting it. I've always appreciated the energy he brought to the team and fans. If he leaves, someone else will have to step up in that regard.

I still remember hoping against hope that we'd pick Bulaga over Spiller.
Same. My big hope was Haloti Ngata over Donte Whitner ?

Can someone please explain this in simple terms/what this indicates?
Is the main value of this that we don't have him on the books for 2021-22? Why not just cut him?

Quentin Nelson is their best linemen. I think they don’t want to pay two guards top dollar. Glasgow is a very good guard though, I hope we target him in free agency. Plug him in at LG, draft a RT and Ford goes into RG. Boom, we got a top 5-7 OL.
Quentin Nelson plays for the Colts. Are you thinking of someone else?

I was thinking recently about the last few Bills offseasons and couldn't really remember too many re-signings, so I decided to look more into it. Here's the list of all the players we've re-signed (besides futures contracts) since 2015, per the Bills' transactions page.
It feels good to finally have homegrown talent on this team that's worth re-signing, because for the last 5+ years it's been pretty barren.
2019
- Jordan Phillips, 1-year
- Deon Lacey, 1-year
2018
- n/a
2017
- Joe Banyard, 1-year (8 weeks)
- Brandon Tate, 1-year
- Colton Schmidt, 2 years
- Ramon Humber, 1-year
- Colt Anderson, 1-year
2016
- Richie Incognito, 3 years
2015
- Marcus Easley, 1-year
- Jerry Hughes, 5 years

Except that DiMarco was one of the best FBs during free agency when we originally signed him behind kyle juszczyk.
He also played for the Falcons under Kyle Shannahan who loves to use his FBs so just because you don't think he adds a lot it could also be very much a case of him being under used.
Yes, and Juszcyzk was the team's first choice but he signed a large contract with SF.
You can just tell Juszczyk is the more dynamic player and offers more explosiveness. And the stats across DiMarco's 8 year career and Juszczyk's 7 years indicate that. theory. DiMarco has never had more than 13 receptions in a season, whereas Juszczyk has never had less than 19 (and has averaged 35+ over the last few years).
As you noted, DiMarco played under Shanahan while in Atlanta. Instead of signing his FB, Shanahan instead signed Juszczyk, who has been doing really well in SF's offense.

We barely use DiMarco, why would we need a different FB?
We barely use DiMarco because he doesn't add a whole lot to this offense.
If you can acquire a FB that adds versatility and can run/catch, then yeah, I say you go for him.

I think he's solid but a huge injury risk.
He's been fine this year, playing in all 16 games.
11 minutes ago, SectionC3 said:Not sure what the TV broadcast showed with respect to the Wallace injury. But it looked bad. Non-contact, and he wouldn’t put weight on it as he left the field. I couldn’t believe they didn’t get the cart for him. I hope it’s not an Achilles, but that was my thought watching it live in the stadium yesterday.
A lot of guys don't want to take the cart. He got onto it on the sidelines, though.

Based on the fact that we had this problem last year, and that all four of those guys are new to the team this year- makes you wonder how much of that is on coaching?
also, wonder if Allen puts too much heat on the ball. Though I remember a lot of drops that weren’t thrown hard.
Let's not forget that the talent at WR/TE last year was sub-par to say the least. Among the group Allen had to work with last year:
- 3 are no longer in the NFL (Kelvin Benjamin, Andre Holmes, and Jeremy Kerley)
- 1 was traded for a 5th rounder 2 years from now (Zay Jones)
- 1 is now on our practice squad (Ray Ray McCloud)
Throw in Charles Clay, Jason Croom, and Logan Thomas at TE, and I think it's a bit early to label the # of a drops as a coaching problem as opposed to a talent problem last year.

Will probably end up back in Baltimore.
Only if he gets past all the the teams ahead of them in the waiver order, which I think is probably unlikely at this point.

This is gonna be a 20 - 17 kind of game. Both D's are good but who's Offense can move the ball better.
Special teams will be big. We need to win the battle of field position to both pin the Steelers deep in their end and shorten the field as much as possible for our offense.
-
STHs at the beginning of the season commit to reserving tickets and say they'll pay for the ticket if the team has a home playoff game.
Pretty straightforward and doesn't seem strange to me. They want to have a good handle on how many tickets will actually be up for grabs.
-
It's idiotic by Harbaugh to keep Jackson in this game.
-
If I remember correctly, he was up and jogging on the sidelines after this.
However, I wouldn't be surprised to see him sit for a few weeks. The training staff was very liberal with the time off for Singeltary's hamstring injury early in the season.
