I don't think anybody wants to seriously do anything. I believe if we were to put in a waiver claim we have to put him right on the 53. I have no interest in doing that and I doubt anybody else does either. But if he clears waivers, I wouldn't be opposed to putting him on the practice squad. But our WR group right now is Diggs, Davis, Mckenzie (current whipping boy), Beasley (out of retirement), Shakir, and Brown (out of retirement). We could use some help.

I have always sort of assumed that Gentry was a Josh Allen favor. I think they were college roommates and their wives are really good friends. There was some hope early on that bringing him in could help Allen develop some timing and confidence early on by recreating their college connection. But other than that there is nothing NFL worthy about Tanner Gentry and when he is done in Buffalo his career is likely over.

If he clears waivers he is worth a look on the PS. Half our WR room was sitting at home 3 weeks ago, so it isn't super crazy to think about.

This is absolutely insane. The rule is that McLaurin was to line up at the centers belt line. Hussey specifically says that, but also says that the ball was snapped at the half yard line and McLaurin was a yard back. Starting OC for the Commanders is Wes Schweitzer, listed as 6'5. his belt line would then be approximately at 1 yard back, right? Jesus.

This is something I hope the McBeane and staff internalize over the offseason. We are having issues with some drops and slot receiver, and to go this far into the season with somebody "not getting an opportunity here" is a big whiff. That includes not even attempting to target Knox. I have been shocked that Shakir hasn't been given a legitimate shot either. This staff takes forever to extract value from rookie contracts in favor of vets. Cook, Elam, Oliver, etc. We are quick to give a pass to everybody because Allen is a stud, winning record, etc. But it is an issue that needs addressing.

I think the Bengals will be a problem. Buffalo and KC aren’t firing on all cylinders and the Bengals are hitting a great stride just before the playoffs. Allen looked more like Allen this week though. If we get Josh rolling all bets are off.

I appreciate Collinsworths commentary here. So often they’re quick to sort of move past a bad call. At least he’s like “100% pass interference. Missed call. You can’t do that”

Right? The dude checked with the line judge. I don’t get it. WR: We good? Line Judge: We good. Ref: Illegal formation

This was funny. You guys are lame

I find this hilarious for all of the reasons. I have so many questions. Starting with, “but why?” Also, interesting that this is all based on Brady playing for NE. This was certainly filmed and released while he’s been the QB of the Bucs. There’s been some rumors in Boston sports that Brady is going to come back this offseason for one more go and retire at Patriot. I sort of thought that was dumb, but maybe…. One thing is clear; I don’t know anything.

With this new QB sneak I’m curious if we start to see something like a tight end take the snap with a huge fullback plow him from behind.

You are only allowed three call ups. Hodgins was called up 3 times. At that point he is no longer a practice squad player and cannot be protected. At that point the Bills can either subject him to waivers or sign him immediately to the 53. If he were to clear waivers I assume he could be protected. But this is still a weird spot for Buffalo because another call up would be his 4th one of the season, which means the only way he could get called up would be to sign him to the 53. It didn’t make sense to submit Hodgins to waivers and protect him. Even putting him on the PS seemed odd because Davis was still nursing a foot/ankle issue and we only had 3 or 4 healthy WR. We have signed two guys off of their couches, we weren’t healthy and didn’t have numbers at WR. It didn’t make any sense at the time only to be made worse by a Kumerow injury the very next week.

No he wasn’t. He was signed off waivers. He was called up 3 times which means the team needed to either sign him to the 53 or cut him and hope he cleared waivers before signing him to the practice squad. ie. He was cut and claimed by NYG. https://www.giants.com/news/isaiah-hodgins-claimed-waivers-buffalo-bills-oregon-state-beavers-brian-daboll

I mean, in order to be on waivers a team has to release you. The Bills couldn’t put him on the PS because they already called him up 3 times. Whether they wanted him on the PS is irrelevant because they didn’t want him on their 53.

He’s on a 2 year deal for NYG.

Didn’t we have 4 active WR when we put Hodgins on waivers? He’s played 5 games and his stats extrapolate to something like 750 and 6 TD’s. While I’m on my rant, I have no idea why we don’t try and get Shakir involved.

I agree, that’s my take. I think our own constant focusing and targeting Diggs stalled our offense at times. I’m glad we’re working more guys in. Diggs will have to figure out a way to manage it.

They’re not overhyped. They’re just measured bu their standard not the leagues. Similar to the Bills they’re a great team and winning games, but not playing up to their potential. Good team, but they don’t have the hot hand at the moment.

One thing that drives me crazy about football is that the rules aren’t consistent. In any other situation other than a fumble, that’s a blown whistle and the play is dead Houston ball. A catch is different on sidelines and end zones. Sometimes field goals are 1 point, sometimes 3. A TD can be 6 or 2.

I don’t think that’s a TD from Wilson. His elbow is clearly down and the ball is short of the EZ.

This is my thought. But the road to NE and Jets as the 6th and 7th seed is a wild one I think. I’d rather face an LAC team for the first time than the Dolphins for the third time.

My GF sat in the 200’s first row above the boxes and built a snowman on the roof. Security came to yell at her when she put boobs on it, they were cool with the snowman but not the boobs which seemed so dumb. They came back when she smashed it down in celebration and started questioning whether or not she threw the snowman.

I thought the Bills got a lot of favorable calls honestly. I think we would have done the same had things been reversed.

It’s not McD’s jam. But I thought all the Schitt’s Creek McDaniels was getting was totally overblown. They handled conditions fine. We have played the Dolphins close twice. I really hope we don’t see them in the playoffs.
