Bleeding Bills Blue

To consider Singletary the 31st best RB because he only had 775 yards discounts the fact that his YPC was a very good 5.1. Singletary averaged 15 touches per game (and missed some time with the hamstring) to McCaffreys 24. Was there room for improvement? Yes - Ball security was an issue at times (watching him get run down is terrifying), he had some room to improve in the passing game (drops mainly). But he was a rookie... I think one can expect some level of improvement. He also had massively increased usage in the 2nd half of the year. I don't feel like extrapolating over a full season but I suppose I could. Oh, and McCaffrey averaged 12.3 touches his rookie year, and had 435 yards rushing on 3.7 YPC. Just comparing rookie seasons in that way gives Singletary a leg up. I personally don't care how Buffalo does it - but get the YPC up, and get running backs who can make plays in the passing game. I'd prefer keeping costs low however you do it so you can continue to invest in the offensive line. Baltimore rolls 3 deep, same with SF and Arizona last year. However you don't need to give one guy 300 carries, if giving 2 guys 150 carries works just as well for half the price. The key to me is if Singletary isn't going to be your RB to get 75-100 targets out of the backfield, we need that guy.

I like Akers. He seems boring but just gets the job done.

Now here's a guy.... Thats all i think of when i think of collinsworth. I hate his stupid slide in too

Yeah Scotch and Bourbon are my go to's. I've been loving Canadian Club and Ginger ale lately too. Nice and cheap, refreshing, maybe throw a lime wedge in there if I'm feelin funky.

Why do they need a running back to carry a huge workload? Ekeler had a fantastic year last year - and they can get 100-150 touches out of Justin Jackson. Ekeler gains more yards per catch than pretty much any other running back. If the yardage ends up the same who cares who got them? Same with TDs, will having McCaffrey end up getting them more TDs? Or did Cam's TDs end up as McCaffreys since they had to adjust their offense in the red zone?

More of a brown liquor kinda guy, but id give it a shot. I've found spending a bit more on vermouth has made a big difference in my martini game when i make them for the wife. Maybe stepping up from goose/ketel is next.

I was mixing it with cider vinegar and like 20 oz of water. Chug it before you have coffee.

I don't think its a bad deal - hes a great player. However - comparing yardage from RBs to WRs isn't fair. How many yards would another running back have gotten rushing the ball on his carries - probably less but its also probably closer than you think. 200 yards rushing less maybe? As for the receiving factor - James white had a slightly lower catch rate, and lower yards per catch. But he costs 4 million. So while he is a great back - is he worth the full 16 million? I'm not sure. He's obviously really hard to tackle in space making him lethal in the red zone where its often 1x1 for backs on the outside. He has the speed to turn plays into TDs. But at the same time, if you get a few backs and run the same offense you can probably obtain largely similar results spread out. Is he Marshall Faulk? Basically yeah. But is that worth the extra 10 million more per year than Austin Ekeler?

I liked the blocky font. It was very colts.

Not to mention like - the bills offense wasn't very good last year. It's cool to see a highlight video like this, but in a lot of those games we needed 4th quarter comebacks - and generally didn't score a ton of points. Hopefully the addition of Diggs, and a year of improvement from Allen can contribute to something closer to a top 10 Offense.

I always found him overrated. Then i played him in fantasy in 2016 against the bills and he absolutely shredded the vaunted Rex Ryan Defense... So what do i know? Crazy year too - started 0-7 in fantasy and won out to make playoffs. He was the main piece of the absolute annhiliation in that playoff game. I made this horrible trade and the throw-in was chris hogan, and my friend who traded me him was talking smack. I played him against buffalo and hogan had a nice game. The Hogan throwaway move was the catalyst ?

I'd still go LT 2006. As for the contract - his yards per touch is in line with peak LT. I don't think he'll maintain that, but assuming healthy - he's going to be a 300-400 touch type of player. He's the best running back in the NFL currently - and should be getting 1000 on the ground and another 1000 in the air. So i would assume this takes place after this upcoming year. Takes him through age 28 then. He's also better than Bell. Bell was also tagged so i feel like negotiations were never smooth. He got a bit more than David Johnson did on his extension, plus the extra year... and we all see how that worked out ?.

I don't think he is an amazing coach by any means, but from a personnel standpoint he appears to be a nightmare. Poor value in almost all of the trades. Rick Smith spent a lot to get Watson - which has turned out to be a really smart move. Gaine had nothing to work with in 2018 - and in 2019 I thought had a pretty bad draft. Somehow they decided to just promote Obrien, he made head scratching moves... and they made the move permanent. I don't give him a good grade on really anything he's done. Clowney - 3rd rounder... was there even a negotiation? You probably get the 3rd round pick if you just let him walk. They flipped this pick for Gareon Conley. Tunsil and stills - 2 firsts and a second?? And the throw-in stills cost 6 million extra. You could have just rolled that over and given it to hopkins 3rd round pick for Duke Johnson? Then after miller was hurt they traded a OT drafted in 2018 for Hyde. Hopkins for david johnson and a 2nd? All-pro WR and top 3 in the league at the position. You got a 2nd round pick and an overpaid 29 year old RB who's last good season was 2016. He just seems very like - not level-headed. He's not planning or building anything. Hell he traded the 1st and 2nd in 2021 - so they aren't bringing any premier players in next year either.

I might still take Wilson. Won a super bowl. And honestly seems to be getting better with like less talent around him, kinda Aaron Rodgers like. Also never missed a game, and only missed the playoffs once in 2017 with a very injured team.

2 pass rushers before a corner or WR... its sort of similar to how the NFL draft prioritizes. I feel like all-pro Offensive linemen will be underrated in this type of exercise vs. a mock draft. Obviously QBs go early on in this - which creates a need to overdraft mediocre ones or old ones. But you might just be better off building a beast oline and WRs and then just throw Foles or something out there. I've done these in madden though, they really only work for 1 season since by rule they always shut the salary cap off.

I watched the whole season, i don't need to re-watch a worst of compilation. Here's my thoughts on causes He widens his base sometimes (especially on touch throws) and balls sail. Just an uncomfortable way of throwing, and some of those little flare and swing passes to TEs and RBs have been out of reach. Timing on deep balls is an issue as he always seemed to hesitate a little at the last second. I also watched something that indicated that he was tilting his shoulders on throws which would cause trajectory issues. Timing is also an issue on short stuff, he'll whip it over on the hitch and the balls not where it needs to be. Usually its low or out of bounds - like him and the receiver had a different thought on the leverage. He also has shown slower eyes on stuff over the middle and either pats the ball or hesitates and then tries to rifle it into a small window. These will also be short sometimes.

You're not wrong - Roman isn't much for passing beyond verticals and safe outs/hitches. But i seem to remember Woods also being a total JAG when he was here. I liked him, but he had like 2 good games in 4 years.

I'm open to punters and kickers tbh. Both need upgrades.

Right? If we're getting the 2015-2016 versions of these players - we're getting Migraine Harvin 6 games in 2 seasons - 7 million well spent. Watkins with foot problems - Is the screw in? Are they taking it out? Whats next with this guys friggin foot?! Not to mention complaining in the media about targets... Woods who falls over all the time, am i the only one who remembers this? (Not the rams woods - we get 2015 woods) Goodwin whos probably hurt training for the olympics Shady with hamstring problems Hell Clay didn't even play a full season here. Hogan? Guys a mediocre slot receiver who could play special teams.

Harvin over Beasley?? The guy was healthy for like A year in 2011 - he's not better than anyone when he's costing 6 million to get 25 catches. He cost a million in 2017 and played in what... one game? I can't say at his best harvin because we didn't get him at his best. We got him after he flamed out everywhere with migraines, weed, and attitude problems. AND paid him 6 mil.

Harvin probably had like 100 snaps for buffalo in 2 seasons. Don't compare him to anyone. He's actually a net loss since he's a locker room nightmare.

Harvin is probably worse than McKenzie if you count ability to play more than 3 games per season as a skill. I'd give the nod to Beasley over Hogan. Clay and Knox both dropped passes. So lets give it a push. Rookie Karlos was an upgrade over Gore for sure - Motors fumbling was a bit of a concern too. Woods is younger and probably better than brown. I'd give the nod to diggs over watkins simply because in the 2 years under rex with this group together, watkins missed time in both seasons. Diggs>Watkins Brown<Woods Beasley>Hogan,Goodwin McKenzie>Harvin Prime Shady>Motor Karlos>Gore/Yeldon It feels so much better than what buffalo trotted out in 2017/2018 - but i suppose its on par with what whaley put together. Only issue with whaley was the cap. We lost woods, hogan, gilmore, goodwin... And had built a team around Tyrod, Glenn, Dareus, Clay, and 2 1st Watkins. That core was and is not enough to do anything in the league.

Amazing.

He was traded because NO didn't want to pay him with Michael Thomas proving better as a rookie. NE traded him because while his numbers were good there, I dont think they wanted to pay him that contract that the rams did. It kinda worked out for them as they basically rented a 1st round pick and got it back a year later. The thing that matters here is - he got a concussion in the super bowl in 2017. He also missed time in 2019 with a concussion - and had a career worst year. So there is a serious injury concern. HOWEVER... They got a 2nd round pick for him coming off a season that was worse than Zay Jones year 2. I think for the talent - a 2nd round pick is a steal. But he was recently injured last year, and generally sucked. So in that way you're like did you overpay? It's a bit undecided.

The Trades all had to do with money. NO didn't want to pay the 5th year option so they traded him before they had to choose. NE picked it up. NE didn't want to pay him what he wanted on an extension. So they traded him. It's not like he wasn't good and thats why he was traded. However 4 years of brees and brady do make for some nice numbers no?
