I just got a message on my FanDuel that for a $5 bet (I was making anyway) they send a promo for $100 off

I'm probably going to bite the bullet and buy it. I complained for too long about "why can't I just buy a streaming service of Sunday Ticket?" That balking at the price now rings hollow

The NYP is frequently entertaining. It is rarely, if ever, useful.

I don't think that numbers will fully show his impact. 600 yards and 8 TD would be at the high end of expectations, and I would be thrilled if he hit that. Diggs is still going to eat, but I like this as a 1-2 punch

they did some last week in the Diamond formation. That you can switch that to 11 personnel by putting Knox in line and Kincaid in the slot, or Knox and Kincaid on opposite sides as ends, or put them on the same side for an unbalanced formation, or send one to the line to block. You can attack a lot of ways once you get a personnel grouping that you like on the field.

I mean, I would personally say that Kincaid is the best because of what it can do to the offense in terms of options. But yeah, it's pretty darn good

I think he got tired of doing the hard work and getting nothing but grief from some haters. This way the site actually makes some money

I know we are a little gunshy on the Swiss Army Knife TE after the Charles Clay experiment but I believe that Kincaid is what they envisioned. If some of the work we've seen over the last few days is any indication, we can put Kincaid in the backfield, in line or in the slot depending on the situation.

Is that his stock or our collective nethers every time he touches the ball?

I legitimately think this will be our base set. Not to say there won't be wrinkles and situation sets but if the offense is clicking and we want to trap the defense in hurry up I see 12 as the one we keep trying to impose our wil with. The fact that we can switch it to 21 or 11 to attack a mismatch makes too much sense to me

Same. Not just about how he looks as a passing target, but it looks like his arrival has turned on the creative juices. Diamond formation? I've never heard of that before. Crazy presnap motion to get mismatches that jailbreak Diggs? Yes please. We don't need a hyper efficient offense, we need to let Josh be able to pick a matchup he knows his guy will dominate

Quick aside that I find interesting is that Gilliam is working exclusively with the TE group so far. It is speculation but last year he was treated as a blocker with the option to pass (I still love his week 2 TD) and I am wondering if that means TE will be expected for more FB duty

So was Lucifer

I especially like it with the additional lane options that 12 personnel gives you. Pulling guard along with a TE acting as blocking FB and another TE blocking on the end gives so many possible gaps for a RB with vision

The odds that none of our top 2 CBs missing a down is absurdly low. If you're telling me we can rotate to keep fresh I am happy

Oh thank Christ. I'll be honest though, I am pretty happy if we have three decent #2 CB on the roster

You'd think they'd have more energy to spend on the Eagles considering that the reigning conference champs are in their division. But I have noticed in the national media that the Bills are no longer the darlings to make a run like they were last year. A lot of them are putting the Phins and Jets over us never mind the Bengals and Chiefs. I don't like it, but I'd rather the team stay hungry and have all the blackboard material. Last year, we were the Super Bowl for a lot of teams we faced. Let's see some B game

The more I see, the happier I am with the pick. One, because I am in general a fan of 2 TE sets. Two, because the biggest weakness we had on offense last year was when teams devoted their gameplan to purely shutting down Diggs we never had a consistent second punch to make them pay. If Kincaid is what we hope, if teams put in an extra safety to treat him as a possession slot WR you are locking them into nickel while having Know on the field to block for Cook. If they put a LB on him there aren't many in the league that will be able to keep coverage on him. Do the Bills need a third and short, but want to keep the personnel grouping for the D? Congrats, you can go no huddle and have Kincaid act as a FB. That's the plan anyway.

My problem is that when in actual games I have seen better standout play from Elam than Jackson or even Benford. Maybe McDermott doesn't like how he's fitting in the scheme, but it's discouraging to see someone who we all know has hit an unimpressive ceiling being given a shot over someone who we have seen surpass it. Gimme that presnap motion.

Didn't see anything for today's session. Drop notes about observations if you like. Mods please feel free to merge if I am spreading this out too much.

"Hello? Police? I would like to report a murder at One Bills Drive"

You're not the only one who has thought about it. The drop off in LB play after Milano is noticable. Obviously situational football is necessary but I will not be at all surprised if we see a lot more.

We can do a lot worse than Bates to have as the vet to beat for a rookie. We should know, we have Bobby Hart.

I figured. I'm more wondering what we do with him. Are we replacing Taron as slot CB. Are we going to try to mask the absence of Edmunds by playing more Dime/Heavy nickel?

I heard he was with the 1s
