Shavers the UDFA and borderline starter - I think he's a #4-5 maybe - hopefully gets 3 catches 40+ yards to show how it's done. 

I absolutely and emphatically agree!

Moore losing his job today essentially to two special teams players in shavers and hardman is.....not great bob.

 

What a mess.  here is hoping cooke has a 150+ day.

But why does he lose out to Samuel? Of course, it's a tossup in terms of production, with 13 catches between them on the season. But to my eyes Moore has flashed and Samuel has been invisible. 

 

At this point I'm asking which is more likely, that Moore, Samuel, and Coleman are all busts--or Brady has no clue how to use them? Keep in mind Palmer has just 14 catches and Cook 18. It may be a productive offense on paper, but it's not hard to figure out that if you stop the running game you stop the Bills.

 

I keep thinking what this same roster would do with a Shanahan or McDaniels or Ben Johnson in charge. For all the heat he gets, McDermott does a lot of things right as head coach, but one big--maybe fatal in terms of Super Bowl chances--weakness is his penchant for mediocre coordinators. A high price to pay for control, Sean.

Bills as 6 point favorites must be because of the Bucs traveling to the cold. Because quite frankly, they are not much better (if at all) than the Bucs.

Go Bills!
 

 

Didn’t you read about Coleman being disciplined?

[Chandler#81]

Coleman = Chump 😡

Bills record with Elijah Moore: 6-1 when he’s active, 0-2 when he’s inactive. Get that goose egg corrected today!

Shaq Thompson practices in full all week and he's inactive? I have never seen that before 

I thought that happened last week as well but I could be misremembering.

why.  He was always a good not great player here.  When his contract was up the team just did not have the cap space to pay him the money he earned so he left.  

 

His being here could be huge going forward.  I still contend had he played in the 2023 playoff game vs KC we might win the game.  He might have made that one play that diggs and harty couldn't make.  Those guys dropped balls Davis always caught and we lost by a FG.

 

I am excited to see Davis today.  i hope he makes a big play.

Injuries. Forgot that. The big three receivers are missing. 

 

But it will still probably be close. Bycs defense is legit

This team is struggling to throw the ball and Moore is inactive. There is no other team in the nfl that does this stupid *****. TWO WRs for STs, a guy that was just hurt and a PS call up.

 

Kincaid is out, Shakir is banged up and Colman is scratched. The game-day coaching holds this team back so much it’s sickening. It seems like a joke. There’s no possibility that we are really this dumb right?

Vegas still has us at now 6.5 point favorites

no question shanahan or mcvay would have samuel and moore having decent seasons.

 

Only reason I can think samuel over moore is samuel might return punts since shakir is banged up..?  

 

plus maybe they like samuel more inside then moore.

 

no idea.

Surprised Latu is up today. I thought the elevation was just incase Kincaid or Hawes for some reason got dinged in warm ups….must be for teams. 
 

This is a weird week. 

Because Coleman was Latu meetings on Friday?

I was at the Panthers game and watched him very closely. I went into the game as a Keon fan and left not a Keon fan. His body language was awful. His effort was awful. His production was awful. The guy is big and strong but plays small and weak. He's too slow and too lazy a route runner to separate. He gives up on catchable balls.

 

If he had any heart to fight through the defender and come back to the ball he'd have drawn a couple PI's for sure. He just flat gives up when the ball is in the air if it's not dropped right on him. You could just tell by the way he was carrying himself that he was completely disengaged.

 

I'm not an NFL coach but I coach youth football and just the way the guy carries himself would put him on my do not draft list. I don't know what happened or what went wrong, but its time to move on.

I agree with you but I am a bit surprised. I thought he looked good early in the season.  I am not sure what’s going on with him but they clearly are not happy with him.

We rode him out of town on a rail and now he’s our last chance.
