Bleeding Bills Blue

I just don't get it. It's not even funny.

Probably - owners never played or coached football so... they don't know how to run a football team and would likely change their mind on a whim based on a single game performance. You're not the same team you were a week or two ago, players don't play well every week, and unsung people can step up and contribute. Ownership meddling to me tends to lead to names - splash signings and trades of players who have names you know.

They were up 16-14 at half. The last 2 TDs did not need a 2 point conversion. 2 score game makes it more valuable to kick with a higher percentage than a 2 point conversion.

If he couldn't outsnap hollins he either isn't good enough, or isn't working hard enough.

Thats good! He didn't seem to be the type to chirp too hard either way. But i've seen fights in a bunch of parking lots and... i'm sure they were started over less.

Guy was on my flight back from st. louis through BWI. I was talking to a couple who were wearing chiefs hoodies and i said "you'll have a good time, but i probably wouldn't antagonize the fan base and wear something like that on enemy turf"

I find Williams to be the biggest target in moving the sticks through the passing game. Its either outside between the corner in cover 3, or between bernard and him. Either way they're layering it and he's always late to the catch point.

He didn't work hard enough to earn snaps here. He is getting snaps with shaheed and olave out. When he did get snaps here, he didn't separate or make any plays.

I believe the last time we got blown out it was Indy and taylor just gashed us. And much like that game a massive brain fart occurred - at 17-7 with about 2 minutes left in the half and a chance to double dip - mckenzie fumbles and we get it back 24-7 and never got out of the pass happy approach.

I think we were banged up, there were some poor play calls at inopportune times, and got bullied in the trenches. It doesn't mean we can't play with them, just that we didn't that day. Bernard out. Johnson out. Literally 3 backups playing at LBer when you factor milano also being out. Rapp played 16 snaps. That's a lot of important players who didn't play. Offensively, this was pre-cooper and we had struggled with man coverage beaters, blitzes and simulated pressures. Seasons are long, stuff is put on film, and you adapt.

I think they're doing a better job evaluating traits vs. productivity. This draft they seemed to do a bit of a 2017 type reset draft with a focus on senior bowl players and leadership. Bishop, Carter, Davis, Ulofoshio, Solomon were all senior bowl players and all seemed to carry some level of leadership pedigree. I don't think EVERY player needs to display that, but losing a ton of vocal leadership you developed since 2017 made it a priority to replace some of that.

Buffalo did in 2018 - Allens rookie year: Dawkins - Ducasse - Bodine - Miller - Mills Allens second year: Dawkins - Spain - Morse - Feliciano - Ford The list of random dudes playing guard here is long and mostly bad. But they seemed to prioritize getting young talent at the position the last couple seasons with torrence, and have utilized the practice squad to develop some home grown talent in players like Van Demark and Anderson. They drafted a future piece at center, and another at tackle

I'd re-sign all 3 and Groot. Bernards a team captain who makes a number of splash plays, has a great understanding of the game, and plays his best ball in the end of games. Shakir's a great slot WR. He's like 20th in yards (pre-bye week), and he doesn't get much in the end zone. Kirk/Jeudy's 18Mish AAV seems logical and fair for both parties. Benford is going to get a big payday and i hope its here. He's physical in coverage, a good tackler, and has been starting here 3 years now. Interested to see what happens opposite him, as i don't see it being Elam. Douglas has been solid here so i could see a short term extension that has an out once benfords money hits the cap in 2026. Lets you draft some additional potential replacements in 2025.

Or at least have a guy run a tablet out to him?

I'm going to guess the guys who are playing in different spots (hollins and Samuel), and the PS guys
