ColoradoBills Posted October 27, 2022 Share Posted October 27, 2022 9 minutes ago, BillsVet said: When has loading up on defense been proven as a reliable strategy in the playoffs to stop a very good or better offense? The Bills have beaten KC in the regular season twice in a row. A solid pass rush helps, but a team that sits tight at the deadline with SB aspirations makes me wonder. With the exception of the Rams last year, tell me all these recent SB winning teams and their big deadline trades. The biggest name was the Eagles trading for Jay Ajayi in 2017. I went back to 2015. This deadline trade stuff to win SBs is urban legend. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You were beating that drum during draft season and I kept telling you no one was going to take him in the draft because of his serious injuries. Then he gets hurt again. Justyn Ross is lucky he's walking let alone going to be a star in the NFL. Edited October 27, 2022 by gonzo1105 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Health and attitude are major question marks, but he is extremely physically talented. He reminds me of Percy Harvin in his prime. IF he can stay healthy and learn the playbook, he'll be a playmaker for them. Big "if", though. He's a Percy Harvin type player in that he's quick and shifty buts he's no Percy Harvin! In his prime he was possibly the best athlete in the entire league. For anyone who is worried about this, KC already has Sky Moore and they don't even play him.

zow2 Posted October 27, 2022 Share Posted October 27, 2022 Somehow Twitter has convinced me that KC just got a hybrid of Tyreek Hill/Antonio Brown….and we should all be shaking in our boots. Yet he did next to nothing with Daboll and the NYG. What’s the deal with this guy? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nextmanup Posted October 27, 2022 Share Posted October 27, 2022 They are loading up for the playoff push, which is the only part of the season that matters for a team of KC's ability. Good for them. If you are standing still at the deadline, you're really moving backward. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t think he’ll pick up any of the slack left by Tyreek, but I can see Andy using him as a gadget player. It really is telling though that NYG couldn’t find any use for him. Their WR room is pretty sorry. They gave him away for next to nothing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was basically regarded as a scrub and his career has turned around. Maybe you're just easier to impress than I am? In any event he's played 2 maybe 3 "good" games as a Chief. The rest of the time he's been fairly absent. I think it's fair to say that there is some promise of upside...but to say it was successful may be a premature statement so far. Let's see how the rest of his season goes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I tried to warn folks they are closet Bills haters. They could've traded us Saquon before the season 😎 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trades at the deadline used to be a rare occurrence...but teams are seeing the benefit now and why deals are happening more often. Check the number of deals in 2020-21 versus 10 years previous.

Justyn Ross is lucky he's walking let alone going to be a star in the NFL. I accept he could be too injured to ever get on the field. But if he does get on the field he is a legit NFL starter. I'd still have been willing to take a flier of a day 3 pick on him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you read my post accurately, I said, "other than the Rams". Hey, I've already said adding a guy like OBJ could be a good move. Trading for some guy using draft picks and taking on big money is not a great move IMO. Let's see what Beane does by Tuesday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HappyDays Posted October 27, 2022 Share Posted October 27, 2022 4 hours ago, beebe said: Oh, and then the obvious: KC's offense is #1 DVOA offense in the entire league. They lead in PPG despite playing many good defenses (Bills #1; Bucs #5; 49ers #7, Colts #11; and Chargers D pre injuries piling up.) The Tyreek Hill departure makes them less scary on offense, but it hasn't made them less efficient to date. That's all fair, but as a Bills fan I dont care how you guys perform against other defenses. Tyreek Hill being traded away makes it much easier for our defense to stop you, and we saw that two weeks ago. I would argue that the improvement in offensive DVOA from last year to this year is more about Mahomes not inexplicably forgetting how to play QB like he did over a several game stretch last year. He's back at his usual elite level, but even playing at that level we were able to hold you to 20 points. In the long term the trade makes sense, in the short term it makes you less likely to win a Super Bowl this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NewEra Posted October 27, 2022 Share Posted October 27, 2022 2 hours ago, ScottLaw said: He’s handled the benching/lack of playing time well… despite being pressed by the media to give them some snark, disrespectful or immature remarks about the organization and staff. Perhaps he’s turned a corner? Honestly think OBJ is an option come a few weeks…. Number one concern with this team for me remains offensive line… and by concern I mean what might hold them back from winning the SB. Perhaps. I wouldn’t use that as evidence to support that his character concerns are no more. Definite character concerns. But perhaps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No it's all about the risk-reward and what the player was thought of before he took that deal. JuJu's last two seasons, he average a dreadful 8.7 YPR. That's like a running back stat line. His first year as an FA, he signed a 1 yr $8M deal with $7M GTD with the Steelers. He had 15 catches for 129 yards and only appeared in 5 games. He then hits FA again and his deal with KC was team-friendly to say the least. 1 year $3.7M with 2.7M GTD. And then, like I said, he's on pace to have the second best year of his career. For what KC paid to get him (a 1 year low-cost prove it deal on a WR bordering on out of the league), he's absolutely working out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
