    Seriously.  I think the Jets crush them this week...beat them by two scores.  KC offense is just terrible right now and the Jets defense will give them more problems.

    I think the Chargers roll them too.

     

    Dolphins, Raiders and Broncos are the other last 3.  I think the Broncos is the only game where they should handle.  It's a toss up between the Raiders and Dolphins.

     

    8-8 I believe would get us in the top 10.  This is a Chiefs team that has lost 5 of 6 and one of those teams was the Giants.  They might even finish worse than 8-8 with they way they are playing.

     

    If the Chiefs lose to the Jets, which is likely, there will be a lot of pressure to play Mahomes, which could lead to even more losing...I could see the Chiefs finishing 7-9, which would be incredible given how good they looked early on.

    To me, at least, this would feel a lot like when we signed Bledsoe. That's not a good thing.

    I agree that signing Manning would be a bad idea, but we gave up a number 1 Pick for Bledsoe.

     

     

    Guess this means one more team drafting ahead of us will be looking for a QB, unless the Giants are planning to roll with Davis Webb and Geno next year.

    For a frame of reference, in 2016 the Eagles moved up from 8 to 2 (to take Wentz) by making the following trade with Cleveland:

     

    Philly gave up:

    #8 overall [2016]

    3rd rounder (#77 overall) [2016]

    4th rounder (#100 overall) [2016]

    the following year's first round pick [2017]

    third round pick in 2018

     

    Cleveland gave up:

    #2 pick overall

    following year's 4th rounder [2017]

     

    That is a lot of picks to move up for a single player -- but the Bills do have the ammunition (if either Cleveland or the NY Giants are willing to make the move) to hypothetically acquire Rosen/Darnold.

     

    The blow was cushioned for the Eagles because they were able to recoup their 2017 First Rounder by unloading Bradford to the Vikings.

    Smart. This is what a smart franchise does. When you're done, you try and lose out instead of winning meaningless games at the end of the year.

     

    I'm anti-tank, but once a team is eliminated from playoff contention, I agree that there is no reason to play an aging QB to try to win meaningless games. 

     

    Look how effective the Bills' mini-tank was last year:  They moved up from the 15th to the 10th pick, just by losing one game.  As it turned out, that was the difference between being able to pick one of the top 3 QBs and not.  We certainly would not have had the same trade down opportunity sitting at 15.

    What? Fournette is third in the league in yards per game and seventh overall. Kamara isn't even the best RB on his team. I love the guy and said so here but Ingram, another first rounder, is fifth in the league. Freeman is 21st. Ajayi was benched and traded for nothing. Gordon was fourth in yards from scrimmage last year and tenth this year. 

    Fournette is barely averaging 4 YPC and Gordon is well under 4 YPC for his career.  Even though he’s had fewer touches, Kamara has more yards from scrimmage than Ingram, who is certainly a good back.  Freeman’s total yards are down because he splits time with another late round pick, and Ajayi had a great year last year and has been very good again since he got out of Miami.

    I named six guys. You named six guys. Everyone of the the first six are better than the second six. Possibly Howard deserves to be in the top six. 

    Howard, Kamara, Freeman, and Ajayi are clearly better than Gordon and Fournette, who has been underwhelming for the fourth overall pick, and is looking like a guy who will spend a large part of his career on the injured list, just like he did in college.  Gurley is having a very good year, but he’s been mostly disappointing. Gordon is a decent back, but that’s about it.  Disappointing given where he was drafted and pretty much proves my point.

    And there are four times as many who are not. Look at every draft. Look at every back taken from the fourth round to the seventh. You will find a few who are quality backs. And you will find that is less than 20% of those backs. The rest are out of the league in a couple years or never make it. If you want to risk your backfield or backup backfield on a 20% chance it's foolish. The idea that good running backs are a dime a dozen has never been true. What has been true is that good ones come out of nowhere or are not high picks. The majority of the best are high picks. 

     

    Who are the best? Zeke. Shady. Bell. Gurley. Fournette. Gordon. 

    Jordan Howard, Devonte Freeman, Jay Ajayi, Dion Lewis, Collins, Kamara, and on and on
