Bills -Broncos Post Game Thread Week 2 Preseason

I'll admit I was down on Moss last year but he is looking better than ever.Ā  That injury must of hampered him a lot last season.

Devin, Zack and James is a great compliment to each other.

Ā 

Duke gets cut and picked up by another team and Blackshear making it to the PS will be awesome.

If it ended up the other way that would be OK too.

Duke has had some solid NFL seasons. Ā Unless he had no other offers, I wonder why he signed with the Bills(canā€™t remember if he signed before or after the draft).Ā

Blackshear will not make it to the PS, Iā€™m afraid.

Ā 

He signed way before the draft.Ā  If he knew the Bills would draft Cook, he probably would have signed somewhere else.

He bounced around the practice squads of the Jaguars and Fins last year so I don't think he had many offers and it was before the draft.

Ā 

Every team will be cutting around 3 RBs.Ā  That's a lot of players.Ā  Most teams will keep who they have on the team already.

Every player cut is a risk, but I give it better than 50/50 he clears.

Yeah, they signed him after the dude from Washington reversed his decision.

I'd be surprised if they are able to sneak Blackshear to PS - he had two good performances for other teams to seeĀ 

Ā 

Kind of crazy how Shakir seems to always be open - it's not like he's breaking ankles with crazy moves - he just always seems to get to the right place

Ā 

If you go back a couple years you'll likely find other posts that stated the same identical thing except it either had the name Duke Williams or Christian Wade in it instead.

Ā 

Having said that I do tend to agree he could be grabbed, but almost every year there are threads here stating the same about some player, but most often they do make it the PS untouched by other teams.Ā  Wouldn't be shocked either if you watch the 3rd and 4th quarter of other teams games you'll find similar performances.

Ā 

They signed him a few weeks before the draft.Ā  It didn't seem like a bad bet at the time,Ā  but when they drafted Cook,Ā  it hurt his chances of being the 3rd down guy,Ā  and with Moss returning strong after a poor season last year,Ā  his chances of being the veteran backup have also significantly decreased.Ā Ā  And now Blackshear may be playing his way into one of the last few roster spots as well.Ā 

Ā 

It's a good example of how fast things can take a turn for a pretty good depth player.Ā Ā  Most years,Ā  he'd make the team and likely contribute.Ā  This year? Probably not.Ā

The Denver players had looked like they checked out early on, which is weird as these are the guys fighting for their NFL lives.Ā  Related, why would Denver agree to travel all the way across country for a pre-season game?Ā  Seems a bit stupid.

Ā 

I was kind of thinking the same thing too, but looking at their scheduleĀ  you always try o avoid playing teams you're playing in the regular season and they are playing NFC west teams this year in addition to their own division.Ā  Add onto that not as many west coast teams as teams say east of the Mississippi, likely couldn't find anyone less to play.

This might be the deepest Bills team I've ever seen. From DL to RB to WR, there's going to be tough cuts coming up to get to 53.

Ā 

Teams will be watching our cuts very closely...wouldn't be surprised to see 10 or more of these players end up on other teams rosters.Ā  Likely will have the most in the NFL. Bills will be trying to stash anyone they can to IR

Shakir to my untrained eye looks to be showing more than he belongs in the league. He looks like he's already a good player in the league.Ā 

Honestly, the few isolated views of him that they showed, it was like he was running around pylons. No one was covering him. Itā€™s probably a truer test for him in camp against the Bills D.Ā

The 13 seconds thing doesn't even bother me, it's boring at this point being regurgitated by every troll at every opportunity WELL long after the point of no longer being relevant.Ā  It's like if you still ran around screaming I'M PICKLE RIIIIICK thinking it's still hip with the kids.

Thank you for this perspective. I'm not a holder on to the past and suffer a 1000 deaths type person either lol but having said that humor is subjective. Talk to me about 13 seconds and I will give you a blank stare back. This will be my last post regarding this topic. muchas gracias I am a bit healthier than before I read your post.Ā 

Ā 

PREACH!~!~!!!Ā  Ā

The only negative was the 1st team DL being unable to create consistent pressure against Denver's 2nd team OL. Hopefully they were just shaking off rust and missing Von Miller. Rousseau is already an excellent run defender but we really need him to be more a consistent pass rusher to justify the 1st round pick.

Ā 

Meanwhile KC and Mahomes look like they haven't missed a beat with Tyreek Hill gone. Another playoff matchup against them feels inevitable. The pass rush will need to show up in that one.

Shakir is looking like a steal. Ā Excited to see what he does this season. Ā Will be hard to keep him off the field. Ā Iā€™d try to trade Crowder. Ā

I just hope we take care of business and lock up #1 seed this year. Need to finally get the chiefs in orchard park.

I don't put as much stock in home versus away, but sure it would be better if we could get KC in Buffalo, ideally with poor weather where our superior run game would make a difference. Either way though we need the pass rush to step up. It was by far the biggest reason we lost the divisional round. We've heard good things about it coming out of training camp, hopefully that translates to real games. Today it didn't show up.

That's something I noticed about his running.Ā  The other backs run just as hard and fast but Cook has a stride in his running that just looks, as you put it, smooth.

There is no back on this roster that is as game fast as Cook- he is very smooth also and seems to have good vision.

I mean yeah home and away probley is a slight advantage but nothing major. Just seeing us lose in KC 2 years in a row I'd sure like to see how the outcome is in Buffalo. I agree with what you said, can't wait for week 1 and to see how von changes the line, and the youngins step up.
