Why don't you see if you can get Butch Rolle to come out of retirement

Wentz has been fools gold for a couple of years now. His play is sloppy and leadership skills non-existent. Wouldn't be surprised if he's out of the league in 3 years

I have no problems with having TJ Yeldon as an insurance policy at a very fungible position

We don't need to try to avoid any team We have the talent and playmakers to beat anyone in the playoffs and should definitely not be taking a scared or tentative approach to Week 17 rest or any of that nonsense. Prepare with confidence - the team will feed off of it

Meh They got up for a divisional opponent. The Jets do that too. Drew Lock is never going to be much more than the 25th rated QB in the league. I don't see him beating us. Vic Fangio is certainly not out-coaching anybody on game days I get it - any given Sunday, but I'm pretty confident about beating this version of the Broncos

I guess I look pretty good for buying that AJ Klein jersey... LOL

This is priceless - I want to be standing next to you in a playoff game when we send Micah Hyde out to kick the game winning FG

So the point here is that with the Covid roster restrictions, you need at least 6 days to bring a guy in. If anything happens to your kicker within that timeframe, you're stuck with the guys that you have on the roster. What I'm suggesting is that going into late season + playoff games, what does it cost us to have that replacement guy already in the building and on the Practice Squad. I don't care if you have to get a new guy every week because some other team poaches the one you have. It's a position that can make a tangible difference in the outcome of a game if you don't have the guy that can perform in that very specific situation. Would you want the Bills to have to go for a TD on the last play, down by 2 points, from the 15 yard line? Or would you like to have a guy on the roster that can hit a 32 yard FG 90% of the time?

Seeing full well the escalation of COVID and its random impacts on NFL teams and schedules, first I'm glad that the Bills have been diligent with protocols, and have been proactive with isolating one of their QB's (Fromm) all season. Not that he would have done great in a situation like the Broncos just went through on Sunday, but you get the picture. At what point would it seem prudent to sign a reserve place-kicker and stash him on the Practice Squad for this type of insurance? With 15 spots on the PS, it's not like we're really hurting the team by devoting one to an emergency kicker. But I'd certainly rather have one going into the playoffs than be forced to scramble or heaven forbid, cost us a game if Bass can't play. I think it's the next step of being sufficiently prepared and ready - and maybe ahead of the curve if other playoff-bound teams are also thinking this way. C'mon Beane - get'r done!

I don't think he's playing this year. We already have 1 inactive tight end per week, and Gilliam has done a serviceable job in his place. Plus, I don't recall Sweeney having a special teams role either. See you in training camp, kid

In other unrelated news, water is wet, and the Pope is Catholic

Hard to see McKenzie on this team next year. Is he decent? Yes Is he replaceable at a lower salary? Definitely yes

Wake me when we've eliminated the Patriots

I wouldn't expect this to change - teams also know that Josh will hold the ball a long time and want to exploit those tendencies

I'm totally onboard with any pre-snap motion or wrinkle that's designed to confuse or slow the defense. For way too long, we ran offenses that didn't challenge or weren't diverse enough It's so refreshing to be on the FRONT end of trends these days and leading the lead in positive offensive stats This, more than most anything else, is why we are 7-2 this season

It's the right move - rest up now, and be ready to play in 3 weeks coming off the bye week Now only if we had 1 competent linebacker on the squad...

They are not even close to the same players.

I'd take Bortles as a flyer on the practice squad. What's the down side?

Let's pump the brakes a little bit on this one. Yes, we had high sack numbers, but we consistently got gashed by the run many times when he was with us. McDermott has chosen definitively over the last 4 years to be bend-not-break and disciplined vs the highly aggressive attacking style that Schwartz, Williams, Ryan and others preach. It's not sexy, and it does piss us off as fans from time to time, but it has proven to be mostly effective

They should also have to bring in Greggggggggggg Williams as Defensive Coordinator and Rex Ryan as General Buffoon

It's tough because the rule changes on kickoffs have essentially neutered the value of a good returner and return unit And special teams as a whole have become so much better over the last 20 years that there isn't such a disparity between teams or units. Not like it was in the 80's & 90's But Roberts is still a top-shelf returner, and key to this team's success. It's just that the big plays aren't going to be there like in past days. But consistency is still a plus

what was the point of drafting a guy if you're not going to develop him and/or give him a chance to play a certain number of games? Of course, the flip side is that it wasn't hard for people to see early on that this guy is EJ Manuel 2.0 and you shouldn't need a long time to figure it out and move on

If we can stay on this course with run defense, we're close to being in top form. Offenses will slow down as the season progresses too
