If Kroft gets to play this week, does Sweeney goes to inactive on game day?
If the Bills go with just two active RBs, Kroft and Sweeney may both be active. Otherwise, I'd expect Sweeney to be inactive.

Could just be a really weird coincidence
Also, Byron Marshall played for both WAS and PHI (couple years back). Vincent Taylor played for MIA. Likely a coincidence.

all Ive read from 1BD is his status is "day to day" well that's what they've been saying about Kroft too and he still hasn't played..they aren't saying much at all which tends to make me worry...it could be he's okay but likely Im thinking it means he's out...same verbiage regarding Andre Roberts same result...ack. Hope Im wrong and we get them BOTH for this weekend and if not the Pats latest.
FYI - Kroft was full practice today.
Hopefully DS's injury was minor and he is ready to go this week.

Could it be that Mayfield is already has reached his peak.
I've felt this since his first 1/2 when he came in for relief of T.T. Solid high-floor player. Exciting to watch. But last year I was happy with Allen (prospect) over Mayfield (prospect). More so this year, but not by a large margin. Jackson though... did he take a major step this year, or what?

I have zero statistical evidence to prove the observation, but it seems like running back a kick-off is almost always a losing proposition, and so it is better to just take the 25 yard line when possible. Watching the game last week, it looked like the Bills MIGHT be taking the 25 by letting the ball go, as opposed to running it back short of the 25, risking injury and providing an opportunity for a penalty like blocking in the back.
Looked that way last week, at least without Andre Roberts back there. "Heels on the goal line let it go into the end zone" seems to be a good strategy. Conversely, should Hauschka try to kick it really high to the one?

"Over the past five years, road teams in Week 2 that were also on the road in Week 1 were 2-16 against the point spread, according to ArmadilloSports.com."

Not sure why that's a thing, but let's hope the Bills buck that trend.

I'm not sure what the "defensive pass rush separation from QB" stat is about - anyone?
A Pass Rusher’s average pressure distance from the QB at the time of the passer throw or sack (in yards). Only includes passing plays where the defender is rushing the passer.

Lafayette Pitts played well in preseason and is still a FA...

This article says teams lose 97.3% of the time when turnover differential 4 or more since 2005. Crazy

99% when the home team has zero turnovers.

So would the Bills still have won if CJ Mosely didn't get injured? Interested to hear some opinions on this.
After careful consideration the most accurate response I can think of is "don't know, don't care".

Oh man definitely. I even slowed it down and it looks like he's got like a one inch manknot thing happening. Wtf Drew.
Does it do any good to slow down a video of a statue?

Oliver has been holding his own against single team blocks. He gets doubled a lot and gets swallowed up a bit on most of those plays. But on running plays, he has been quick to shed those and at least be part of the tackle a few times. On pass plays, he has affected some throwing lanes and he has sniffed the QB once or twice. All-in-all, he does not look out of place, but he has yet to make many splash plays in our mostly vanilla preseason defense.

Would it not be Dabol’s call? It’s interesting that they put this on Josh.
Negative. Brian Daboll is not on the field nor is he in the helmet for the last 15 seconds of play clock.
Daboll sets up the play with options built in.
Generally, the QB is responsible to select the correct option based on the play call and rarely select something totally different, perhaps based on the specific game plan.
Generally, the QB and center work together setup blocking assignments. For example, when you hear "56 is the Mike", it's the quarterback that is identifying a key piece. The center and guards fine tune to figure out double teams, combo blocks, etc. based on the play call, defensive alignments, and their own in-game experience about what they think will work. When an offensive line gels, it generally means that this communication and resulting executing is smooth and mistake-free.

This guy had a vertical leap of 39.5". When the scouts found out he was still available in round two of the draft, they averaged a vertical leap of 41".

The main reason the Bills rank so high is because Allen on a QB sneak is automatic on 4th & a yard or less.
They rank high because their decisions tended to match analytics optimums. But those assume average offense against average defense based on the score and time remaining in the game or half. Every team would then augment those baseline analytics with coaching decisions in cases when you have an all-pro punter or kicker, or if your short yardage offense is notably good (Allen 1 yard sneaks), game-time injuries (like to a kicker), weather, or other facts that make the particular circumstance deviate from "averages".
I wonder if there is any correlation to making close to "optimal" decisions based only on analytics and outcome. Notably, Pats* were in the middle of the road.

Interesting note:
Chicago calls us offers us 87 and a 2020 4th rounder for 74.
They eventually traded the pick to NE.

Fitz - 2 years, $11M
Taylor - 2 years, $11M
Barkley - 2 years, $4M
For the Bills, it's still a tough call. But given the contracts, I'd go Barkley, Fitz, Taylor. Otherwise, Fitz, Barkley/Taylor.

Bills got the 65th pick for TT and didn’t have to throw in a future 5th.
TT was on a 1 year $16M contract last year.
Rosen is on a 3 year $6M contract.
Great trade for Buffalo. Better trade for Miami, for effectively a low-cost backup QB with quality starter upside.
AFCE now with 3 of the top QBs drafted in 2018, plus old man Brady.

Would have rather used that pick on a trade for Duke Johnson.
Singletary Update??

Hitting on a run or two in pre-season week three still gives me hope.
