    yesterday.  Davis and Kalu

    Do the Bills risk losing Davis every time he goes back to the practice squad? Or can he decline to sign with another team that wants to sign him?

    Dude may just be another Kadarius Toney

    Bills 2024 Draft

    Imagine having 10 draft picks and whiffing on all of them. Not a single contributor in an entire draft class. 

    Whenever that happens, I dream of a scenario where Beane packages all the whiff picks and moves up for a franchise player. I do wish Beane would do something like this on occasion.  It's hard to pick at the bottom of every round year after year, where the chances of landing a franchise player are so much lower. I think you have to roll the dice sometimes, maybe when you're sure of your targeted player (e.g., Garrett Wilson that year) and not too excited about the rest of the draft.

    Which is a lot better compared to the rest of the NFL than most people think.  12th in YPG and 15th in PPG.  People act like they are 32nd and 32nd by a mile, and it simply isn't true.  Run D is bad, pass D is really good for the most part.

    I was being a bit facetious, but when a team is so soft against the run, they create an impression of being weak overall. I do wonder why teams choose to throw when they're gouging the Bills with the run game.

    I cannot fathom how Shakir’s skill set doesn’t translate to being excellent at slant routes. To me he’s the perfect type of player to make 1 quick move and have a step on a guy. I don’t know how we can’t just torch teams on 7 yard slants with Shakir. And he has great hands and is great run after the catch. The guy should be running the Beasley stuff and just shredding teams on the Stevie Johnson slant catch and run

    Tell that to Brady. He just figured out that Cook is more useful running wheel routes than sitting on the bench. He's a slow study, Joe. But give him credit: he has a firm grasp of the wide-receiver screen and the stop route. 😕

    unless the Texans get a D/ST score or a very short field from a turnover, I see them having a hard time scoring more than 21 points, and probably not even 20.

    But they're playing against the Bills defense, right? The Bills....defense. 

    This (Texans) game is huge...

    Texans defense is scary good and fast 

    Google AI tells me that teams with a good offensive line can exploit their defensive tackles, while their safeties are vulnerable to play action. 

     

    Of course, Google AI also admits it is a "long-term existential threat," so...

    We have to find a happy medium between McClappy’s desire to have 15 plays drives and unleashing the Mustang. Josh is not a game manager. He’s at his best when he’s running, lowering his shoulder, and improvising. We need a little of both Josh playing within structure and going off script. Brady schemed guys open last week, hopefully he does the same this week and Josh actually takes the easy stuff then unloads with the Alien Power.

     

    Exactly. I think people, especially McDermott, have been slow to realize Allen is a highly emotional player. When he gets fired up, he comes alive. It's no coincidence he played so well against Lamar, Mahomes, and Mayfield, three of his top peers. In the Miami game, I think if McDermott had gone for it on fourth and inches on their own thirty-yard line or whatever, Josh might have played a different game. McDermott's forcing him into a cerebral game-manager role is the worst thing he could do with this quarterback, that and not giving him weapons. He's not Tom Brady, he's better than Brady. Or rather could be if he had a GM, coach and coordinator who knew how to tap his enormous potential. 

     

    In short, Allen is playing as well as is despite Beane, McDermott, and Brady, not because of them. I'm not saying they're awful at their jobs. They're just ordinary people doing ordinary things with an extraordinary athlete. And they're holding him back.

    Not denying that Shavers and Gabe are better the Coleman but Brady took an entirely different approach to the offense today. Hope he keeps it up.

    Maybe he started reading this board, which has been one step ahead of him this whole season.

    Fix the run d and this defense would probably be ok. But man, that run defense is sketch

    Watching the Denver and Browns defenses now. Is it just talent that makes both so vastly superior to the Bills defense? Or it scheme and coaching? Asking for real, since I just don't know, although I suspect that it's McDermott's philosophy.
