    Hoffman was such a good player in his day. There was a nice stretch of time where he was every bit as automatic as Mariano Rivera.

    And now he's wearing the jersey of the Bills quarterback. What a timeline we got into

    Not any more and not on a just recently healed ACL.  My guess is he would be used like the Rams used him.   A 10-15 yard possession receiver.

    Okay, certainly prime Odell could. It would depend on what version of him you're getting.

    Yeah this feels like a prelude to a big move.  I doubt it is OBJ.  Too much risk and he only complements what they have.  CMC is really not necessary in their system.  They have all the backs they need.  What they need is a stretch the field WR.  Who could that be?  Who is unhappy on their team and wants a change of scenery?

    Odell Beckham can't stretch the field?

    Hopefully by the playoffs Cook is up to speed.  Dumb use of a pick but they invested in him, so hopefully he becomes that 8 yard per reception RB and somehow produces on the ground as well.  But Singletary has also been much improved in the pass game too.   The past 30 years of NFL history indicates that among the last things you want is to go into the playoffs thinking you need to get a certain RB touches..........and with a big name like CMC that would be hard to avoid.

     

    Slot receivers replaced RB's in the passing game for a reason.   Guys like Singletary and McCaffrey have been good for about 5.1-5.3 yards per touch each over the past few seasons.......guys like Cole Beasley and Jamison Crower have averaged 10-11 yards per touch.   Being any kind of RB-centric is a mistake.

    Allen has been checking down to the backs a lot this year, when he does that it's good to have someone who 1) catches the ball easily and naturally, 2) turns and accelerates up the field quickly and 3) makes tacklers miss. Cook is the only one who may be that but he's not that now, they clearly aren't comfortable with him playing a lot of snaps. If it's a bad draft pick I wouldn't let that stop me from winning the championship, that's the goal, not proving your draft acumen.

     

    McCaffrey does upgrade this team. If you can't run the ball you damn sure better be efficient in the underneath passing game and get YAC, and yes that is going to inevitably include the running backs. Throwing as much as we have to Devin Singletary and Zach Moss this year is just not efficient.

    I don't think people fully understand how much of a weapon this guy would be with this offense, and this QB

     

    If Moss and a 3rd this year plus maybe a pick in 2024 gets it done, you do it.

     

     

    Everyone has to take away the downfield stuff against Allen the best they can, there's a lot of room for the back to operate underneath in the passing game but Singletary is too slow to really exploit it and they don't seem comfortable with Cook yet. McCaffrey would thrive with all that space to work with.

    Can fly! I had no idea that he was still in the league. Playing for the Seahawks now. Caught a 50 yarder last year and was still being used for a track star with Chicago.

     

    I say this with surprise because like many here the drought did something to my perception of time. I thought Goodwin played here like a decade ago. 

    Wow I too thought he was dunzo

    Yet some people say that we should give up a 1st or 2nd to sign him.

     

    Giving away those kind of picks just to cut the guy would be just as dumb.

    I think a day 2 pick is the range that may work for both teams.

     

    Whether the Bills want to keep him or not will be effected by his health, his performance, how it all works out.

     

    Let's keep in mind most of us don't know much about how the salary actually works on a practical level. Last year Beane said don't expect much in free agency, everybody parroted "Don't expect much! They have no cap room!" We only appeared to have no cap room but we just moved money around and made it work.

     

    Whether or not they want to move money around and make it work for McCaffrey will depend on how it plays out post-trade.

     

    Losing a day 2 pick is not going to make or break this franchise. They've used 2nd round picks on Cody Ford and Zay Jones and AJ Epenesa and it didn't stop them from building the best roster in the NFL. I understand trading a draft pick is frightening for you but it will be okay, I promise.

    So mortgage the future for a maybe.

     

    See the two names on the top of our free agent list?  They are more important pieces to this team than CMC will ever be and if signing CMC means we can't afford to sign both of them, signing CMC would be an epically stupid move.

    They can cut McCaffrey for free after the season if it's really that serious.

    CMC would already be on a plane if that is what Carolina is asking from Buffalo.

    They may want to figure out a way to keep Singletary. He doesn't really have much value to them being on an expiring contract, he does have value to us to rotate in and as injury insurance.

    I haven't been there, but I have no doubt about this.  

    Man I wish I's was going back out this week, the energy was electric and I have adrenaline thinking about it.

     

    They do this thing at the end of the national anthem as the singer says "and the home, of the..." the stadium roars "CHIEFS!" I got such a kick out of that, I looked at the redshirts around me and said Okay KC! and we had a laugh. I did the tomahawk chop along with them, that ***** is great, co-opting that energy for our boys of course like Renegade in Pittsburgh. The banging of the drum before the game is really cool too, they bring out a "legend" to do it. Think noise, intensity, vibrating energy. All game.

     

    All game because they do not quit. Reid and Mahomes have conditioned those people to expect comebacks. They can be down multiple scores with 6-7 minutes left and they're still BANG into it, as the Brits say. I love that! And not just on third down. This is part of what our Bills are up against. No matter what, they expect to win. They don't go all sad and gloomy. Some other fanbases might learn a thing or two I might say!

    Great quote from ChiefsPlanet:*

     

    ...But man I am very worried that Von Miller is going to rape Orlando Brown Jr.

     

    *Despite their reputation, their fan perceptions roughly mirror this board: respect to the opposing team (esp JA &VM) but with cautious optimism for a win.

    KC fans were awesome when I went there. Coming up to me in bars to welcome me, tell me about places to go, tell me how great Josh is and how they're worried about the game and we're so good. They're nice people who love their football. It's a perfect place to see a football game. Don't let Twitter throw you off.

  12. Moss needs to go to some other team and not be a third round pick, go in with no expectations and be the underdog again and find his confidence. He's so desperate to make plays that when he got in the open field it just made him antsy. He's pressing. Needs a change of scenery.

    While everyone remembers the 13-second fiasco in the playoff game, what really drove a stake into the heart of the Bills' defense was allowing Mahomes to move around in the pocket, evade rushers, scramble, and buy time for his receivers. If the front 7 can make him uncomfortable (as the Raiders did in the first half last night), I love our chances!

     

    Hopefully Von was taking notes on what Chandler Jones did in the 1st half last night.

    This is the kind of game a guy like Von Miller came to Buffalo to play in. The whole football world was blown away by the playoff game last year. I would not be surprised if Von took more snaps in this game than in others. Chiefs week is here.
