Bleeding Bills Blue

I mean it was about an hour of time between drives..

Any word on Phillips?

I think the issue with Chris kelsay wasn't that he was bad. It's just that buffalo couldn't like... find a way to get the guy to like 3rd in the rotation - where he should have been. Schoebel was a good pass rusher, and kelsay probably would've been fine as an early down rotation/depth guy. Instead they just kept extending him and assuming he would improve from the player that he was. A horrible symptom of the drought was the spinning the wheels around certain players. It's almost like they were trying to be wrong.

Would adding like 3-4 feet to the top of the upright do something to the structural integrity of them?

Other teams could send salary back in a deal though

Ugh - can't we just score TDs? He should've been tackled well short of the sticks there.

Rookie WRs are going to struggle against man almost every time. Getting off the line in press. The ones that don't are like the athletic freak types like Moss who make a living off the contested catches. Diggs does all of those things well right now, and knows what it takes to be a pro. In years 1-3 of this deal he should outperform everyone drafted.

The almost INT after the Brown miss is the big one for me. He was rolling and backpedaling to his right and threw it up into coverage. We missed the FG anyway, but plays like that take points off the board.

They covered him too... which allen almost seemed disappointed with. Though I'm glad they did, he was terrible throwing when rolling left.

I voted 2. Just because i feel like UDFA's really didn't get a chance to showcase this year for other teams. That's about it. Starters maybe play half of the first one if at all. I feel like i also missed the chance to see some of the drafted QBs. Herbert, Love, Eason, Fromm, Hurts etc.

Get another guy on the PS so you can elevate imo. Cost is cheap and you lose likely i dunno nate becker? I guess its dependent on who isn't available though. Probably won't know until tomorrow.

It's like watching the bills with like watkins and everyone. Some big plays and big names - but at the end of the day they will drop a key 3rd down, take a bad penalty, or just miss a throw at an inopportune time. If they don't run well they won't win. I'm also not sure what baker is at this point. He's supposed to be the accurate one of the class, and you see it on some of the 10-20 yard stuff. But the short stuff was supposed to be his bread and butter, and it just isn't. He's late and off-target constantly. His pocket presence also hasn't really improved. I do think he'll end up having a 2nd career somewhere other than cleveland. Maybe Tennessee when tannehill inevitably does tannehill things.

Right - if you give me cover 2, then the deep stuff to diggs and brown will always be tough to complete. But it creates opportunity for bease and knox up those seams. You can also work deep crossers and get those safeties making decisions side to side.

In any case - was this an odd week in kicking in general? Kickers were 42/58 on the day (72%), with 4 total misses under 40... 7 if you count the 3 missed XPs on the day as well. Not sure if it was a lack of preseason or what but it seemed like kickers missed a lot of kicks yesterday.

Trying to put some people out of jobs?!

They weren't having any success running under center so they went largely with motion and read-option. The jets kept playing it to keep the ball in allen's hands. Other's will do this if he keeps failing to secure it.

There were a ton of dig routes in this game. They're fearing diggs/brown over the top - and allens arm strength gets the ball there. YAC there isn't important since you most likely moved the sticks or put you in a good position on 3rd.

Everyone said coming in they expected blitz, and it seemed like they had the jets number on those blitzes. They also played a lot of cover 2 to take away anything deep, and we were pretty content to just take what they gave us.

That was as time expired in the half too IIRC... yuck.

They were gashed in the run game in both games. They took a 4 point lead with 5 minutes left and cleveland walked down the field. Philly ran for 200+ and scored 31 points - in a windy game.

He has 3 career games with 5 targets or more - not even catches. Brown had 115, Bease had 106, Knox had 50, Singletary 41. So getting diggs 100+ is going to likely come somewhat from Brown and Bease.. But knox only caught 56% of his targets and had fewer than 2 catches per game a season ago. I think the 50-60 target range is probably realistic. He's still going to give away snaps to kroft and smith - and if they increase the amount of pass attempts... those targets go to the RBs and Diggs. He'll be boom or bust, and very TD dependent for fantasy.

Tough to expect him to get the sufficient targets to be a starter in fantasy. Too many mouths too feed. I think he can be a red zone weapon for sure though - and will get some opportunities to make plays. Allen's my starter in a 4pt per passing TD league. I grabbed Wentz as a backup - but allen is a very high floor fantasy QB because of the rushing TDs.

And kind of picked where Shaq probably should've been.

2 firsts - and they moved peters for kenny young and a 5th. Peters was 2nd team all-pro, and his extension was 3yr/42m. So they didn't want to pay peters, traded him for nothing. He gets paid a reasonable amount for 2020-2022 - 14m AAV. You then trade 2 firsts for Ramsey - who makes 13.7 on the 5th year option (so basically what peters got on his EXTENSION!), and gave him 21M AAV from 2021-2025. Is JR worth 50% more in money, and like 90000% more in trade compensation? I don't think so. Especially 1 year after trading a 2 and 4 for Peters. Just mismanagement of draft assets, as well as money. Could end up costing them - they're going to have a tough time bringing in oline talent with all the draft comp they sent out the door, and they don't have cap space to address that and kupp needing an extension.

I'd wanna get diggs going, deep crossers - they can't handle brown and diggs in man coverage at the 2nd level so just keep hammering them. Redzone i'd like to see some read option stuff with singletary/moss to avoid hits to allen early on. I'm for it - take advantage of communication issues as well. They're missing their starter at MLB and they traded an all-pro SS. The d-line is still strong there so running it right towards them probably isn't the best solution.
