I think Keenum is a better QB than how he looked today. But that's not the point. The point is Fitz is turning 40 years old and retired coming off surgery for dislocating his hip. That's an insanely brutal injury for a 40 year old to come back from and surely led to his retirement.

If that’s why he isn’t playing, then he wouldn’t sign.  If he did sign, than that wouldn’t be the reason he retired.  So I’d take Fitz over Keenum.  
 

I agree that he’s better than he showed so far.  I just thought he was a strange fit and I’m just not a fan.

Elam is definitely the Edmunds replacement for whipping boy. 

my gosh I tend to disagree. Nobody will quit whipping Edmunds and especially if it is deserved haha. WE will see at some point. I would love the Von effect to have infected the ENTIRE defense to excellence especially Tremaine Edmunds.

See my post above. You have to have the replacement on the roster before you lose the player he's replacing. That's just good roster management.

Defensive depth is good.

 

Offensive depth is bad. We knew this going in but They lack WRs.

 

The Bills weren't playing their top 4 wide receivers and still got a good showing from their WR5 in Shakir, how many teams have really great 6-8 WR's on their rosters?

Ariza is our punter.....we shouldn't be punting unless we haven't reached our 40 

 

That bomb was insane, my only concern is if returners adjust to his leg power will he out kick his coverage consistently and cause long returns that eat into his net?

Some GM's thought of that very thing, from what I read.  I don't care - I'd rather take my chances.  That's a game changer if we get stopped deep in our own territory....

That would need to be addressed

 

But if he knows returners are lining up deep he needs to sky it with huge hang time. It will become a game within the game

If he outkicks his coverage by 20 yards, maybe they have time to catch up to the returner around the spot a normal punt would land, lol.

Who’s the 4th? We played crowder, shakir, Kumerow, Hodgins.  I don’t think Austin is WR4
