They changed their backup QBs jersey number to the same number as the punter the day before the game and then submitted the roster.
Pretty wild...number 80 in the game to punt but instead of it being the punter, it's the backup QB who completes a pass for the first down.

F that school! Lived in Columbus for 6 years and my biggest joys were watching Michigan kick their ass and see all of them crying in their beer. Until I was down the street from campus watching with my buddies and they went psycho and started overturning cars and setting dumpsters on fire...never went back down there for that game again 🤣

He can make a leap forward, probably not to Moulds level, but he is not being utilized properly right now so if he continues being used the way he is, probably not.

Some other notables:
JC Tretter (C/Batavia) who served as the player president of the NFLPA and then as the Chief Strategy Officer. Played in the NFL for 8 years. He resigned amid allegations he buried results from injury reports and concussion data although he denied it.
Corey Graham(DB/Buffalo) who won 2 SBs with Baltimore and Philadelphia. Went to Turner/Carroll HS which is now closed.
Jim Dombrowski (G/Williamsville) who is the highest drafted WNY player ever, taken 6th by the Saints in 1986. Played 11 years and is in the College Football HOF as well as the Saints HOF.
Brett Kern(P/Grand Island) 3x Pro Bowl punter mostly for the Titans.
Shane Conlan(LB/Carroll) is from Carroll, NY in Chataqua County and played for Frewsburg HS. Had no idea he was a local product.
James "Boobie" Starks(RB/NF) played for the Packers and won a Super Bowl

Of course you are all forgetting my Alma mater and WNY football powerhouse the Red Raiders of St Francis!!...Home of Brian Daboll....okay...hes the first name that came to mind....
Also both Nick Sirianni and Roger Goodell who hail from Jamestown.
I wonder what the odds are that 2 of the major players in the NFL including the commissioner and Super Bowl winning coach are from the same small town in WNY?
Has to be astronomical.

Hmmm... how did I completely miss that.
Thank you.
"You phaquing guys both live down here and neither of you broke dyks had a freaking game plan?????!!!!!?!??!?!?"
I would love to see Davis, Johnson, Hawes and Moore lead this team to a resounding victory.
This is why it's ridiculous to talk about who plays and who doesn't on a Tuesday. Now that we have more solid info, I would say:
- Start the Benford and play him as little as possible/pull him as soon as possible.
- Hold Taron out to let him recover more/see how Lewis does.
- Hold out DaQuan and Palmer and trust that we can win without them. They're more important down the road than they are this weekend... assuming a win.
I don't disagree with you but isn't it someone else here who carries the "there's no such a thing as a trap game" torch?
Agreed though I'd like to see them play as few snaps as possible.
The feeling's mutual and I'm sorry to the many people here that I've offended. It's our passion for the team that causes us to behave poorly at times.
Of course, because the Dolphins "Wish it were colder."
I carry that torch as well and have posted the studies showing they don't exist...probably could find them, it was a while back.

They were going to keep Diggs until he forced his way out.
Sean didn't like the INTs and turnovers, but he is not and was not stupid. He loved the high numbers and explosive plays.
And he still does since the Bills lead the NFL in explosive plays this year.

Mental illness? CTE from being concussed by his O-Lineman's butt?

Well it didnt work the last 2 playoff games against KC. May be they will play better this year.
I mean they average more points against KC in the playoffs than during the regular season. The issue as always is the D allows an average of 14 more points to KC in the playoffs.
There is no way there should be that consistently large of a difference ove this many games between the two.
It's inexplicable.

I find this thought perplexing … he caught A pass. Not sure how people equate that with “Palmer is coming on”. He’s basically what he’s always been: a JAG with limited upside.
He caught 2. The first was a play-action bomb down field on the first play for the Bills for like 40 yards and the second was a deep over for 20 yards. That was the play he got hurt on early 2nd quarter. If he stayed healthy likely would have had a 100+ yard game.
I always liked Palmer in San Diego and he was often targeted deep and often was wide open.
1 hour ago, Thurman#1 said:Jeudy's catch rate last year was 62.1% while Moore's was 59.8%. That difference on the number of catches Moore had is statistically insignificant. It's basically a two-catch difference over the course of a season.
Same for the team catch percentage, which was 62.3%, again not significant. And that includes all team receptions, including RBs and TEs, who generally catch at higher rates because they're getting easier passes. Looking at WRs only, Moore was 2nd highest on the team among WRs with more than three targets. Moore's longest catch that year was 44 yards, and only Jeudy had a longer one among all pass catchers on that team.
In 2023 the team catch percentage for all positions was 59.5% while Moore's was 56.7%, and he had the 2nd highest catch % on the team that year, second to David Bell at 60.9% on 14 catches, though Amari Cooper was at 56.3% and he was targeted with much longer Y/A than was Moore. Moore's longest was 42 yards.
This is his fifth year and his longest catch each year was 62, 42, 42, 44 and this year 31 so far. He's been targeted long before, with some success as the consistency of long plays shows.
In his second year, with the Jets, catching passes from Zach Wilson, Flacco and Mike White he had the highest catch % among WRs with ten catches or more, ahead of rookie Garrett Wilson by less than 1%.
As a rookie, Crowder and Berrios were way ahead of everyone else in catch %, while the rest of those with ten catches or more were all within 3% of each other.
Ick. You made me look at Cleveland and Jets numbers.
I don't need him running 40 yards down field, I just think the Bills should target him right in the 20-25 yard range more often like the ball he caught in the Chiefs game.
He was wide open there again on one of Allen's short incompletions to Hawes earlier in the game.
I have a feeling if we go back and look he likely has been open a bunch of times on those plays over the season.

100%. Sean hated the high flying O from 2020-21 that fans loved and made the Bills so exciting to watch. Couldn't wait to get rid of Daboll and Diggs.
Beane drafts, and Brady coaches, to execute Sean's "complimentary football" philosophy. For now, it's working. We'll see. But if we face a team in the playoffs that can stop the run, it's over.
I mean I am equally excited to watch this team move the ball with ruthless efficiency and just pile up points. I don't care how they do it, just do it.
2 hours ago, BuffaloBillyG said:I think it's a Brady issue. He's so committed to the short passing game. And the reads in his offense go from short to long. I also think being so anti risk and anti turnover has rewired Allen's train of thought too.
Exactly this.
Question. When was the last time Brandon Beane drafter a WR with too end speed? Even a late dart throw? Now what WRs has he taken? Coleman, Shorter, Shavers....heck he was Assistant GM in Carolina when they had Benjamin and Funchess.
You say trust and I agree, but trust comes through reps.
Seems year after year we sign a few random WRs to 1 year deals. They leave and we restock with new. Allen was at his best as a passer when he had a few guys he was familiar with to throw to. Diggs, Davis. Even wanted Brown and Beasley brought back one year because he was familiar with and trusted them. They need to commit to guys at the position and not have a revolving door. Timing and trust matter.
I mean, Allen seems to be at his best now when we can comfortably sit back and watch him pick apart defenses and have almost zero concern about a turnover happening.
And score more points than any of those teams ever did.

Canisius is considered the best School in the area private.. Bennett would be considered the best public school
Both in the City of Buffalo
Both put out division one players at a fairly consistent rate but not four stars
Canisius is considered the gold standard they've had five alumni on NFL rosters in the last 8-10 years
They did have a four-star quarterback like 5 years ago but he left after his sophomore year so again he didn't stay here
Elijah is staying at canisius
I mean Nichols if you want the unathletic rich kids sitting around the ski lodge in ski club with $20K worth of brand new gear on tho and driving new BMW's and Mercedes to school their parents bought them for X-mas.

Elijah kimble
Current JR at Canisius HS... A 4 star top 15 ranked running back nationally with offers from Ohio State and Michigan and Georgia and basically everybody
Been watching in the last 3 years and this kid is showing that big time players can come out of Western New York without transferring to a ohio or Pennsylvania school
Good luck in the playoffs canisius!
And good luck Elijah!
Buffalo/WNY are starting to churn out consistent D1 players
As a Joe's boy, I still have a hard time rooting for our arch-nemesis, but I will say "Good Day, Sir!"

That would be perfect because Big Game Gabe is a thing. As long as he can get ready for the playoffs, I'll take it. And hopefully we get to hear Nantz at least one more time "It is DAAAA-VISSSSSS!!"

No brainer, the 5 seed option. Super Bowl path of Jackson -> Mahomes, vs Rodgers -> Jones -> Nix. Not even a contest.
Easily 5 seed...our defense against anyone other than Reid in the playoffs is a giant win. They might actually play well, like they have done in other games.

This is one of the biggest trap games I have ever seen for the following reasons:
1) Tua is done. Finished. He should not even be playing.
2) The Bills need this game. They are not even in first place in the AFC East.
3) Miami's coach will be fired sooner than later. They can't wait to dump him.
4) The Dolphin's season is over. They have nothing to gain by winning, and might even lose out on a QB by doing so.
So yes, it is a trap imo. It looks too easy and if every game that looks this easy was a winner, none of us would ever have to work. Now, do I think they the Bills will cover the 9 1/2? I do. I think that the line should be somewhere around 17. Would I be shocked if they win by 3? Not really. I will probably make a small bet on the Bills but that is it.
Sorry for the rant. I suppose this post was just me thinking out loud.
Unfortunately, as I will say every time someone brings this nonsense up, trap games DO NOT EXIST. Statistically disproven every single way you could ever disprove something statistically.

The Dolphins are 2-7, but they're still an NFL team and, more importantly, a divisional opponent.
It would really suck if we approached this week as a "rest" week for players who could play like Daquan and Palmer and then lost. Our games against the Dolphins have been close lately.
For the many on this board who consistently apply the transitive property to NFL games, the Dolphins did blow out a Falcons team that beat the Bills just a couple weeks ago.
I'd be surprised if it was within 2 scores even with those 2 out. McD is calling the defense now and he wrote the book on how to make the Fins look like crap offensively.

Kincaid missed the Atlanta game, and barely played in carolina (14 snaps) since that was just the james cook show. Last week he played only 23 snaps and was outsnapped by knox and hawes, but also by samuel and shavers - and still managed 6 catches and 101 yards. So in the last 4 weeks including the bye he's only played 37 snaps and has 7 catches for 124 yards and a TD.
Wondering if they are doing a bit of load management with him and planning to unleash him fully down the stretch and into the playoffs?

This was sort of my concern with shaheed. I liked him as a plus returner, and a situational piece - but i'm not sure as a situational piece he's that much superior to samuel other than in the availability category.
Yeah, just saying - everyone complains how overpaid he is but its like the guys basically a 6th OL half the time. Some of that pay is for things that don't show up in the box score. And I'd also imagine that when he is running routes, he's not
Kincaid - 208 snaps - 140 routes run
Knox - 288 snaps - 122 routes run
Hawes - 225 snaps - 39 routes run
Damn I wasn't aware the snaps were that close...

In that game, the heat index was 110......that's even unbearable for Floridians!!
Although it will be hot, there is a huge difference between 94 with a heat index of 110, and 86 with a heat index of 93.
Crazy that you have to worry about heat and have the Cool Zones set up in November...

He is a plus blocker, and plays more snaps than any other TE on the roster.
Right, because he is still TE1 that plays in-line and will be in there in single TE formations with Kincaid more as the split TE that gets moved all over like a chess piece and also if they bring Hawes in to block as the 2nd TE on a play.
He basically gets snaps in all situations while the others usually get them more situationally.
