Shakir isn’t injured. He’s listed because he didn’t practice, but that’s due to personal reasons. Not injury related.

Yeah. Like, the long TD runs we've given up this year are bad, there's no debating that. But as failures go, giving up a long TD run isn't as damaging as giving up a series of 5-15 yard runs that ends in a TD. The long run can be demoralizing, but getting wrecked over and over on a long TD drive is also demoralizing. I'm not *happy* about where the run D is this year by any stretch. But I'm *less worried* than most.

Thanks for posting! This is the content I crave.

No, it was just this past week when they signed Hardman to the 53.

Please do!

If Davis Mills starts, we should absolutely win. I'm hoping we can build on the positives from last week, while cutting out the turnovers. Allen's first INT was caused by bad blocking - Edwards blocked nobody while a blitzer came untouched through the spot where Edwards started the play. The second INT was more of a great recovery by the defender, but Allen could've been better there. The Hardman fumble was just a poor decision not to fair catch it, with 2 Bucs bearing down on him and no blockers. And the other fumble (Ty Johnson I think?) that we recovered wasn't great, but also more of a good play by Lavonte David than it was a glaring error on our part.

Josh Allen had a bad game. That's it, that's the whole point. The INT was the most glaring part of it, which is why I highlighted the INT when responding to a post about how Allen had a bad game. Hope that clears it up for you.

The pick in the end zone was BRUTAL. I don’t care how bad the receivers were. Still brutal.

I suspect Beane felt similarly about Shaheed. I also suspect (based on the quotes from his presser) that he was trying to make a bigger move - Olave or Waddle most likely.

The all-whites are nice; I slightly prefer them vs white-over-blue. The all-blues are okay but never my preference. I think they look a little better for day games than night games. The all-red Union Suit look is ONLY acceptable during a heavy snow game. Otherwise they just look like they're playing in their jammies. Might as well put a buttflap on the red pants at this point.

Our best unis! This bodes well for a W this Sunday.

Also, I just want to point out that the reporter said “a first and more”, not just a first. Sounds like the “and more” was probably like a high third or second or something. Given how low our picks are expected to be, I don’t think it’s crazy to assume that we’d have need to give our top 2 picks next year. If so, would I still have done that? Maybe. It would be an overpay for sure, and I’ll never feel good about that. But overpaying for quality can still work out.

I had a tinfoil hat thought the other day along these lines. There’s been more injuries showing up in practice this year than any year I can remember. What if some of those are just the player deciding he can keep playing hurt/hiding the injury? What I mean is that a player is playing through injury for weeks, but hiding it from team officials so he doesn’t have to be listed on the injury report. At some point, he realizes it’s not getting better, so he “gets hurt” in the next practice, and all of a sudden is missing games. Note: I don’t actually believe this. But I also can’t disprove it, and at this level of competition I wouldn’t put anything past these players.

If we broadly keep playing like that, the 1 seed is highly probable.

When the checkdown goes for 11, take the checkdown all day.

Not sure who you’re thinking of, but Corey Moore was a 3rd rounder.

Does anyone in particular come to mind?

Feels pretty safe to say that Shaq Thompson won't play this week. Getting Palmer back would be nice but I'm guessing he winds up as Questionable and doesn't play.

Multiple K injuries in one year. I’m not sure that’s happened to the Bills in my history as a fan.

Oh, you just meant least cap space right now? Sure, no argument there. Sorry to have misunderstood. Usually saying worst cap situation takes into account the overall picture, not just today. There’s no NFL coach or exec who would trade our cap situation for the Saints’.

The bolded is comically inaccurate. The Saints have the worst cap situation in league history.

This is a good take. Especially since Moore has been more effective as an outside WR than in the slot in the NFL. You could include Palmer in this analysis as well, although with the caveat that he was on mediocre teams with a good QB. Still, his per-game numbers are abysmal so far, after being reliably a 700ish yard guy on his rookie deal. To whom it may concern: I agree that too often, no one’s getting open. (Saw some of it in person this past week - every time I looked downfield during a scramble drill, there was nothing there.) I also agree that having better outside talent (Olave or whomever) would help. But I haven’t seen any plausible explanation of why these 600-700 yard WRs are turning into 200-300 yard WRs on the 2025 Bills.

Fair point with the kick returns! I was thinking WR specific and initially drew a blank. I still can’t think of anything impressive Moulds showed from scrimmage those first two years, but it was a while ago obviously.

I’ll be there! Look for the white guy in a Josh Allen jersey, you can’t miss me.

What examples do you have in mind? Not trying to be a jerk, but that doesn’t line up with my recollection at all.
