Bleeding Bills Blue

Same game prop parlays are pretty fun - gives you a vesting interest in a specific game you have on. Something like cowboys rams becomes a bit more fun if its like - Cowboys defense 4+ sacks Elliot to score 1 TD Kupp to... i dunno not score. If all 3 hit you get paid a pretty good payout and it gives you something to cheer for in a meaningless NFC game. I like to do them in the SNF/MNF games that i half watch.

Seems like Lawson has been seeing the field a bit more in some of those run fits situations.

Marpet Retired. replaced by rookie Goedeke Cappa got a raise in cincy. replaced by Mason Jensen carted off in training camp. replaced by 2nd year Hainsey Smith banged up, missed 2 games already. Swing tackle Wells is on IR with calf injury. So basically they're using 3 new linemen from a year ago, and a 3rd stringer has played snaps at LT. Also they don't have Arians. It's a bit of a mess there right now.

Tavon Austin and TJ MCdonald for EJ Manuel Kiko Alonso and Marquise Goodwin. Kiko at least got us Shady (who played on our playoff team) so I'll call it a Bills win.

It's a high ankle sprain - he's gonna struggle putting weight on it. I'm gonna go out on a limb and say he doesn't finish the next game he starts. The already slow dude is going to be drew bledsoe out there.

Takes 2 to tango - any team signing him off the PS has to keep him on the 53 for 3 weeks. He's never played a down in the NFL and was drafted in 2020. There are like 30-40 WRs drafted every year plus UDFA's. There are a LOT of guys out there on Practice squads who are the exact same player as hodgins, and probably know their teams playbooks.

I'd rather just bring up hodgins or gentry from the PS.

Yeah - if he falls behind jackson and elam. Its not even necessarily for this year.

Why are we moving our best corner to safety?? Why not move jackson or benford?

I imagine he'd be a pretty good safety honestly.

Even then - we actually have run a couple of those this year

Just tape it up - i don't see the issue here.

GB has been doing this with jones and dillon. Its one of the few things that tends to work for them too. He had a nice camp before the foot injury.

The steelers always just throw tons of crap to the sidelines. Stop the run, tackle and watch them punt or screw up on 3rd and long.

They traded for Diggs 2020. Drafted Davis and Hodgins in 2020. Drafted Stevenson 2021. Drafted Shakir 2022. They've used picks on a WR every year for the last 3 years. How is that 0 attention? You get 1 first round pick every year and most of the time buffalo will be picking after pick 25 - the best WRs will be gone by then. They let go of Beasley because he wasn't effective anymore, especially at the price point. I can see arguments around offensive line - especially the basham pick being a bit of a luxury pick. Cook was brought in as they wanted a pass catching back with speed. He has been here 4 games and everyone has already written him off.

I'd probably go with 2nd round. In 2022 this was an extra 1.5M in cap space vs original round, that shouldn't be too hard to find and keeps us deep at an important position.

It does not matter who the back is - teams stack the line and they push our linemen back. Wasn't our last offensive play this week a QB sneak? The problem on 4th and 1 is a drop is a turnover. So passing is always a bit riskier. I don't have faith in the offensive lines ability to run block literally any type of run call. Seems like crack tosses have worked, and some pin and pull type of stuff. But thats not usualy what you want to do when you need a yard. Add jet motion, hand some balls to mckenzie going laterally and get them questioning it so they aren't just pushing our guys back. Add a hard count.

What i was trying to say is - we wanted to make a move at WR and it didn't happen in FA because of cap space and it didn't happen in the draft because of where we picked in each round. They missed on kirk, ended up with crowder. Missed on Mckissic, ended up with Duke and selected Cook. Deebo did have an amazing play, and is generally an amazing player. So is Diggs. So i'm not sure what point you're trying to make.

The offensive line is bad at run blocking - at least so far. I don't know how you can have watched the first 4 games and think anything other than this.

They attempted to get kirk - were priced out. I'm certain they were lookin at WR in 1 and 2, but they flew off the board. Shakir is a solid consolation prize. Davis is in year 3, and was slated to become #2. crowder and mckenzie were to upgrade the beasley snaps/targets, but also adding cook was supposed to add an element that was missing. They have just been using singletary to accomplish it so far, but they wanted to get the backs more involved in the passing game. He's probably injured again.

There's some real cap savings next year - this year you would save like 800K which gets you... i dunno another Moss. I'm disappointed with the run game in general, but he makes a play and were to take it out of his yardage total?

The Giants should have drafted at least 3 more QBs just in case this happened.

He ran a 4.61. He's slow but yeesh thats some disrespect - he's also on the PS for a reason (and its not his hands, which are very good). This isn't a multi-year contract commitment, its dressing for a game or two and maybe playing a few snaps.

This is the truth. When dotson and burks were both gone and williams went far earlier than expected despite likely redshirting this year, it wasn't in the cards. In the 2nd my only wish is we had just gone with offensive line help in the interior. Seeing Doubs succeed with Rodgers makes me hopeful in a way - but at the same time they aren't a very good passing team right now. He's getting more playing time with Watkins out, Watson struggling, and making the most of it too. Hopefully Shakir can do the same as he eases into the offense replacing crowder.

When did Henne win a game with Mahomes out? The playoff game? He had the ball for 3 possessions and they scored 3 points - they were in FG range when he came in btw and he threw a pick. I guess the 4th down play was pretty ballsy with a backup QB but lets not act like the offense was some unstoppable juggernaut with Henne in. 13 WRs taken before cook - and 6 taken before our 1st round pick. We would have been able to get Christian watson in the first, or maybe Pickens? In the 2nd we would have had the choice of these guys: Velus Jones Jr. Jalen Tolbert David Bell Danny Gray Erik Ezukanma Romeo Doubs Calvin Austin Khalil Shakir I suppose we could have moved up in the 2nd - but Skyy Moore is sort of a slot WR anyway and similar to Shakir. Same with Metchie. Tyquan thornton has burner speed but he can't see the field in NE so i can't imagine much of a contribution with buffalo.
