how will you game plan without this detail oh wait, that’s a problem for the chiefs, not bills fans

can’t is a strong word but honestly last week I felt the winner would be the best team the rest of the way. Not by huge margins but enough to be excited yup - weird routines against a very good team. Even if you are a great roster you aren’t expecting better than maybe 60-40 odds

he could do it as an assistant coach then. Im not arguing whether or not he should play, im simply saying if he’s on the practice squad he should be fully on the depth chart. If he’s not in line to be available ever, put someone there that could contribute this year or next if you are getting a jersey then you need to be able to lace up cleats on Sunday- otherwise give him a polo and let him start his coaching career

or a path forward somehow the saints have an absentee owner, a GM with no vision that is his own boss, a massive cap problem, no qb and weak draft capital m the next guy in either gets a huge 5-6 year commitment or is ok with being the sacrificial lamb in 24 months for a decent pay day and handing the keys over to a guy like Brady then,

we will see. A few here acting like he point blank won’t play. all I’ve said is that if true it’s a wasteful arrangement

some other guy could be running drills and learning the scheme, just in case. If he’s a coach and not a player just make him a coach and let someone else get prepped as an in case of emergency or for future development I get it, the last bench spot on the practice squad isn’t likely to matter but I think it’s silly to play play this game unless he’s genuinely on the depth chart

because it doesn’t make the team better to handle it this way and we are on the cusp of our biggest games ever. if Hyde will not be an option, and let’s say we win but a couple safeties go down… will you love him being on the squad instead of being hired as an asst coach?

I feel like I wouldn’t say he won’t try his hand

it’s a fast track to being fired… basically any either a great qb are consistent. stroud’s outcomes outpaced his actual performance his rookie year. Year two he was consistent with the volume of off target throws or passes that defenders could pick…. But the actually got the picks. It wasn’t so much that his play regressed but that his luck normalized. josh Allen’s OC will always have options to move up as long as they don’t personally mess it up.

oh, totally. It’s the explosive running back vs the guy that gets 4 yards every touch no matter what. I think shakir does a great job squeezing yards darn near every catch. Feels like even when he goes down for the catch he rolls for 2 yards consistently. but you can’t watch ceedee lamb highlights and think that we have the same guy, even if isolated to with the ball in his hands. Thats not an insult to KS, but just an unreasonable standard to judge him by

debating if he’s top 20% of starting WRs just doesn’t have the same elite ring as top .00001% of guys that catch passes across the various football leagues (flag or tackle)

on another level than 99% really stretched it though. I guess if chalking all 6 WRs for 32 teams and only weighing that single stat he is 2 of 200 literally… but I think you’d be hard pressed to generally sell anyone on the idea that given the top 32 WRs they’d pick him as top 5 with the ball in their hands. he’s pretty darn good with it but also in a very friendly scheme with a qb giving him great touches and as mentioned has solid blocking out there.

yea, you can outsource a lot to coordinators etc… but at some point he’s still going to have the be the dude to be 100% sharp after months of grinding in late December when you have 3 games in 11 days because of Xmas at some point it’s just got to catch up and he will be 74 week 2 of the season to boot… he could be a total anomaly - they exist but at some point you have to think he will just be tired in a different way than Mcvay would be…

I mean, he’s not chase, ceedee, JJ, nabers, ARSB, puka, etc… then you run into guys like deebo as a rare specimen in space. even mcconkey had more broken tackles. You’d clearly put the ball in aj browns hands first given the option. in yards after contact - Nico was great last year with a ton of broken tackles l, though down this. Rashee rice was excellent last year Not even mentioning tyreek here with not being sure what he is today. i think shakir is very talented but “on a different level than 99%” probably over states it a good bit. He’s a solid blue collar guy that does a lot well, doesn’t make many mistakes and has a good attitude. We don’t have to put him in the top 1% of WRs on anything. It’s unfair to him.

some perspective - that’s like 5.5 catches per game. If reliably healthy it’s not particularly huge accumulation for a WR1. I’d bet there’s like 20 guys that were the number 1 target for their team that didn’t miss multiple games and he’d be about middle of the pack at best in that

it’s like when Stevie was wr1 he’s productive but not keeping coordinators up at night. ultimately everybody eats is nice enough but if everybody included a few guys that are better than we currently have then our margin for error would be much larger. I don’t think any of us would be mad if Brian Thomas was at the dinner table.

I’m just saying- if worthy has even the perception of helping the chiefs win… it might be the end of this era of the bills. if we win it’ll be monumental though

they will lose many position coaches and perhaps the whole system depending on who follows him maybe some talent evaluators too

At some point you just have to get it done though. And particularly you can’t be the reason the team didn’t get there by blowing a big moment So far so good this year.

I bet there are rumblings just as there were with Sean Payton towards the end of his tenure. a ring gives you a ton of credibility but not forever.

yea, I think you have to see a big outlier and then actually look at the games included. 10-0 in major games and consistent calls going their way vs 10-0 because he got 8 softball games that were generally called tight. it’s a flag for investigating further but not definitive yet as it’s a small sample and assignments may not be totally random

If hurts is hobbled, it’ll help a lot. That said, I’d take the commanders first

im sorry but if he has kelce like potential he should be eating more

you do realize the owners buy the rings and can give them to the lunch ladies if they want, right? It’s not the nfl mandating who qualifies.

heck, I don’t mind it but I’d rather spread out their defense and let him choose pass vs finding a crease pre snap.
