  1. Part of the way the Pats*** manage comp picks. They sometimes trade for players rather than sign FAs who would count against the comp pick formula. Max one 3rd rounder, if he signs elsewhere. The number of picks is based on player count, not the whininess of the player.
  2. After a complete rebuild, the Bills took a step this year. They have capital to get better players. Let's see if they can take another step next year and make something happen. Difficult schedule next year aside, the next step is to win the division and a playoff game. And the division appears to be open.
  3. I don't think there is a rule about the arms spread meaning give up, but in this case it was pretty clear he was giving himself up when he tossed the ball to the referee. That being said, if he quickly picks up the ball and returns it 100 yards for a touchdown of his own, do the refs huddle up and rule that he gave himself up? Probably not.
  4. Henry will be in demand. The franchise tag for RBs is about $12M, and IMO that's the most likely path for him.
  5. Hmmm... my two favorite teams are now out of the playoffs - the Bills and whomever is playing the Pats***. I'm rooting for the Eagles.
  6. Giving the Bills a touchdown on the opening 2nd half kickoff was probably the worst call I've seen. Not glad, but glad they got that right in the end.
  7. Order of importance: Allen continues to improve Add multiple play makers on offense such as Henry and Green. A RB that demands extra attention and a WR that can beat cover 0. Add a pressure machine on defense such as Ngakoue. Add a CB in the first round and a WR in the second round of the draft. Have Knox and Singletary work on hands all off-season. Singletary with six catches today! Great to see. I don't know how much of our $100M cap space that we will willing to push in, but do those things and this team will be noticeably better next year.
  8. I love the McCoy TD in the 2017 Colts game. Alternatively this play that came about an hour before the Bills clinched a playoff spot.
  9. Overall it was a decent developmental year for Knox, whose play contributed to both wins and losses. He needs to hit the jugs machine in the off-season. Catching a few hundred balls per day should address the issue. He still has the potential to be a top TE in the game.
  10. Interesting take and partially true, but they did not actually "make" 15 picks. In terms of whether they should have traded up... Allen - Solid enough pick. But could have also waited and hoped Allen fell, or else selected Jackson. Or they could have selected Watson or Mahommes in 2017. There were lots of good options for QBs in 2017 and 2018, and they landed one of them. Edmunds - Solid enough pick. But they could have waited and selected Edmunds later if he fell, or else Darius Leonard. Ford - Solid trade up, no great alternatives. Knox - Solid trade up, no great alternatives.
  11. He contributes mostly on punt returns (top 10) and as WR depth. But he is also 4th in the league in kick return average. He should definitely be active.
  12. Green Clowney/Yannick Henry Realistic Options Conklin OT TEN Bradberry CB CAR Drake RB ARI
  13. Both SM and BB had in-depth knowledge on KB. Not only was this a swing and a miss, but it was a swing and a miss when they knew exactly what pitch was coming. Not only did the trade cost us a 3rd round pick, but also came with an $8.5M one year deal. As it turned out, there were much better uses for that cash. With the pick, Carolina drafted CB Gaulden, who was released earlier this year. With the following pick, Baltimore drafted Mark Andrews. Buffalo picked Taron Johnson 20+ picks later in the forth.
  14. Joe Burrow completed 58 percent of his passes in 2018.
  15. I doubt Rivera would want Cam as his savior QB. We got a 3rd round pick for Taylor with a similar contract, so maybe Cam fetches a 2nd rounder??? He had a couple noteworthy seasons years ago before some of the injuries.
  16. I can't see how playing starters here will help this team win the Super Bowl. I want to see what Yeldon, Foster, Neal, and Williams can do on offense. DLine may need to rotate a bit, just to avoid fatigue and subsequent injuries. Backups everywhere else please.
  17. IMO, a basic game plan happens most weeks - both offense and defense. It mostly comes down to execution and fundamentals. This week the Bills did not tackle super well. I think NE may have "wanted" this game more than the Bills. Side note: Edelman's "sell job" confirms what I have believed for a long time. NE players will do just about anything to win, including in this case, faking concussions and hiring a clock keeper who will consistently try to screw the away team. I'm somewhere between impressed and disgusted at the level of coaching and attention that must goes into practicing all the cheap ways to help your team win.
  18. I think this offense can really roll next year with: AJ Green or comparable WR that can occupy the opponent's #1 CB, catch contested balls, and get a few run after catch long TDs. Derrick Henry or comparable RB to use against the tougher good tackling defenses. Cincinnati's Mixon had 149 yards rushing against NE last week in a game that was not close in the 2nd half. Sometimes the FA market for the bigger backs is affordable, allowing us to use or draft picks for depth. Practice screens and draws and 10 other plays that will consistently beat cover 0. An offseason on the Jugs machine for Knox. We have all the other pieces, more or less.
  19. Offense - Work extensively on screens and draws and other blitz beaters that don't require JB to win a 1 on 1 against a top NFL CB. Perfect 10 such plays. Foster - Has all the skills except for finding and adjusting to the ball. Work on that extensively. Knox - Send to the jugs machine 4 hours per day, spelled by Beasley and Singletary at times. Yeldon? Activate him. He was productive against NE in week 4, but otherwise has not looked great for the Bills. He was productive catching the ball for the Jags. Ford - The plan is coming along, keep improving at RT. Gore - Sit and rest up until playoffs. Perhaps come back for a strong finish where he can contribute a bit more on the field. Kroft - Would like to see more involvement, if healthy. Williams - Not sure, haven't seen enough. Seems like he could be a decent red zone threat. I'd activate him over Lee Smith and see what he can do in as a hybrid TE/WR type. I wonder what our 2018 leading YPC rusher Marcus Murphy is doing these days? That ship has probably sailed.
  20. Green, Cooper, Robbie Anderson. Not sure if anyone else is a clear cut upgrade over a 2nd round rookie and what we have. That being said, I'm confident Beane will come up with something.
  21. Game balls: White, Brown Honorable mentions: Phillips, Allen Side note: Another 4th quarter come from behind win.
  22. After Brown was cut, the NFL made it clear that it intended to investigate the situation, but until that investigation was complete, he would be unable to play. They have not announced that they have concluded the investigation.
  23. You realize he is banned from playing for any team in the NFL, right? Are you suggesting that signing him to a big contract NOW will help us win?
  24. Well handled by the police officers were are on site. The car was a point of contention in the video, but was it a gift?
