  1. Douglas has a $9MM cap hit next year in his contract, but he will also be 30 in August. With his size and [meh] speed do you move him to safety eventually. Not sure that a 30 yr old CB is going to get a lot of top dollar offers. Gilmore is playing this year on an $10MM contract.
  2. Kelce has been called by himself for 3 OPI penalties this year.
  3. This entire exercise is a bit bogus. They get a few right, but too many picks are based on past reputation. Obvious examples that jump out to me are Budda Baker, Montez Sweat, Deandre Swift, Patrick Surtain, Denzel Ward, & Minkah Fitzpatrick, are all having "meh" seasons. Also the split doesn't follow reality - The have essentially 12 defensive ends and only 6 interior defenders, yet there are more DI than ED's playing. Josh is clearly one of the top 3 QB's playing in the AFC, Douglas is clearly one of the top 4 CB's by whatever measure you want to use. Sad that contracts are written with bonuses for what is essentially a popularity contest with a dose of reputational bias thrown in. There also seems to be no effort to "normalize" fan voting for "small " market teams vs. Larger market teams.
  4. Josh beat Mahomes in KC!!! Two teams have the same record. Once crowned, tough to topple.
  5. Fish have 12 of their 22 listed starters as either DNP or Limited today. Hope our guys keep their eyes on the prize
  6. We keep a backup for our center/guards - He's played 35 snaps - we've paid him $11MM the past two seasons.
  7. With the impending housecleaning in DC, Jacoby Brissett will be available, unless some desperate team sees him as a starter until a rookie is ready to play. With the love Buffalo showed Andy Dalton a few years back, he would be a great backup to Josh.
  8. In his career, Josh is 10-2 vs. the Fish. The Clay drop and the heatstroke game are the only blemishes.
  9. That 1964 team has 5 players in the HOF, Jim Brown, Paul Warfield, Leroy Kelly, Lou Groza, and Gene Hickerson.
  10. I'm not sure after back to back years with an ACL and an Achilles, that White will ever again be an NFL quality CB1. Our three starting CB's Douglas, T. Johnson and Benford are the highest graded trio in the league - Bills & Jets are only teams to have all 3 CB starters in the top 20. My biggest concern is DL & Edge - Inigo Montoya has an excellent post today about this on the site.
  11. Douglas is playing at a high level at CB. I had seen some talk on the GB board that they thought with his size and tackling ability, he might spend the last couple of years of his career at FS.
  12. I'm just worried that Diggs has met Father time. 1st 6 games this year 49 catches, 66 targets, 74.2% catch rate 12.65 yards per catch Last 10 games this year 51 catches, 81 targets, 59.3% catch rate 9.33 yards per catch Last 10 games are the longest stretch of his Bills career without a 100 yard game.
  13. Against Miami, Bills need to score TD's after turnovers in the other team's end. Pats game was 27-21, should have been 35-21.
  14. Spencer Brown is 6'8+ with 34+ inch arms, and a 31 inch vertical - may already have That kick blocker on the roster.
  15. A fascinating player in the draft is Oronde Gadsden II. He's 6-5 225, but runs a 4.5. Obviously has good bloodlines and was coached in HS by Patrick Surtain. Know his dad played for the Fish, but that could be an interesting weapon for Josh. Started out as a WR and supposedly has solid ball skills.
  16. If Josh was playing with Deebo, Aiyuk, McCaffrey, Kittle, and with Trent Williams for protection, he wouldn't have to be superman.
  17. Douglas is tied for 4th in the league for INT's; Top 5 in CB PFF grades. Wonder if the trade keeps him under the radar?
  18. We need a John Brown type. If you have a 4.3 guy who can take the top off a defense and has reasonable ball skills, then Diggs, Shakir, Kincaid all become more effective. Diggs is 30, an age when most wide receivers start to decline or have to deal with Injuries - see Keenan Allen, Mike Evans, Amari Cooper, and of late Tyreek Hill.
  19. I would keep Diggs, Shakir is here, and on a cheap contract. I don't think we are going to be drafting high enough to get one of the "elite" WR's. Beyond that we need 3 journeymen, given our cap issues. Hoping Kincaid continues his growth, as he gives Josh a bit of a cheat code.
  20. Is anyone else having their screen break up, mine's been doing it the whole game
  21. Benford lost his pants on that one
  22. Ought to be a team option for better field position when there is a delay of game called during an unsuccessful play.
  23. That last Detroit drive gave me [not good] flashbacks to several of our games this year. Was getting to the point - How will we lose this time.
  24. I am also surprised that's there's not an Allen island in the Fresno area when the Niners aren't on at the same time.
