Bills @ Bears Game Day Thread?!?!?!?

[par73]

Interesting group of RB's. Not impressed by Murray-- is he a lock?

[Cash]

I’m drafting Darrynton Evans in fantasy this year. I’ll just have to figure out a way to get him on the field. 
 

Seriously though, that run was sick, even accounting for the backups he was playing against. The balance on display was phenomenal. 

[Charles Romes]

That will keep Evans’ NFL dream alive

More RBs than we've had in a long time. 

 

It's the best position group on the team from top to bottom IMO.

Probably.  Ever since McBeane we have a spot reserved for a slow 32+ y/o RB every season.  Smh.

[Warcodered]

bad injury day for the Bears 2s or 3s.

I'd like to see Anderson make the team, I just don't think the numbers work for him. We have so much depth at IOL it makes me even consider the idea of trading Bates, but that would be a big risk.

He looked bad when he gave up the strip sack. He's been servicable and shows some decent skill. But he's like Brown so far this preseason, good until he gets embarrassed.

Really tough calls at rb this week

Did Latavius Murray make the team?

Nice 4 yard gain by Abbey.

I think Murray sucks tbh. He’s big and slow. There’s no reason for him to even be here now, let alone on the 53. Give me 4/22/25 or 37. Murray has no business on this roster IMO

Dead leg cut? What?!

Hmm. Well coughing up a return today defeinitely hasn't helped his case. I don't think Harty has been stand out at all in pre-season. But I do think he is making the team. As their main returner if nothing else. His usage on O will be interesting to track.

Agree. His speed hasn't been on display at all. Maybe still getting his sea legs with the team or something.

Hey everyone, Tasker was supposed to tell a good Marv Levy story in 2nd half.  I gotta run with the dog. Can any of you post or share synopsis of it here on the board or thread please? 

Thanks!

[Warcodered]

No Peterman?

Dawkins needs to decide if he wants to be an elite tackle or a tv personality

Agreed.  Go younger and save some money.

He looked pretty good last week—one of the lone bright spots in the Bills offense against Pittsburg.

I really like Howard. Plays fast and physical.

Holding him out so he doesn't get hurt before trading him to Buffalo.

Levy owed him some money and he couldn't pay it, so he made him be his butler to work off.

Do you consider it your personal responsibility to come up with awful takes?

Oh the complaint crew as I call them never goes away. They have been pretty silent today though, but they will always sprinkle in a few tears here and there.

From a Bills perspective he has never played in a scheme like ours. Has always been in a 3-4 base style.

Same can be said for Floyd… had no problem scooping him up for less of a pressing need.

LMAO... thats what preseason is for to get ready for awful takes in the regular season

[eball]

I am continually awestruck by how differently the ball comes out of any other QB’s hand, and how it comes out of Josh Allen’s hand.

 

Other QBs look like they are throwing the ball in slow motion.

 

[HappyDays]

Meanwhile in KC:

 

This is their 2nd round rookie WR. Chiefs fans were hoping he would step into JJSS's role from last year.

Honestly he told the story about coaching Cal-Berkley but had a lot of trouble spitting it out. New Mexico and Oppenheimer were involved 

 

But it is Marv Levy's granddaughter's birthday and she is in attendance with her family and friends. 

 

He followed that up by saying he likes what he sees from Kyle Allen. Sooooo

I don't think it is an awful take. Murray doesn't suck, that bit is an overstatement, but when the Bills younger backs have shown well I am not convinced they need an older vet like Murray on the roster. He definitely will be, we know this staff loves an older vet especially one who can pass protect.

[Freddie's Dead]

Ty Johnson had a huge hole, but was a little slow to the edge.  Got the FD, but that run had at least 5 more yards on it.

Look it up. It is a style of running, that freezes the tackler when you change directions. A thing of beauty when executed properly, like Evan’s did on that TD. 

[Freddie's Dead]

Nice bounce outside, nice stiff arm by Ty.
