Bleeding Bills Blue

Yeah - its like did the light click on? Maybe a little? He bounced around a lot but he's seeming to kind of find his way.

He was likely to be the bengals backup QB behind Dalton, but he was injured in preseason. You can only bring 2 players back from IR and its unlikely to be your backup QB... so he signed the settlement and caught on with a team right when he was able to play again. He's still relatively young and has bounced around the league quite a bit, so hopefully that's given him some perspective and helped him learn how to be a pro. There are a looooooot of bad QBs with jobs... so i think he'd have still been employed. Peterman just got signed....

I'd cut clay. Shady isn't irreplaceable at this point in his career, but on an offense completely without playmakers it doesn't make sense to cut the only player resembling a playmaker. I'm all for upgrading the position, but we don't need the cap space and his salary isn't guaranteed. Why not figure out if you've upgraded it before you decide to cut someone.

Gotta say get that first W against NE under your belt. Hopefully the first of many. I think the Dolphins are a beatable team on any given sunday, and as long as they maintain their status quo they'll remain in the middle ground in the NFL.

Dave Toub from KC, hes the assistant HC too. He usually makes the rounds on the HC circuit but hasn't found a job.

Exactly how we drew it up.

They did a good job getting to the FG at the end there, but another first down and that FG is most likely the game - or at least overtime. Depending on how hauschka was feeling too, maybe go for that 4th and 8 if he's dinged up from the cheap shot.

Seems like olinemen need to be found in the draft. Good ones are always getting extended and mediocre ones are getting overpaid.

My wife never watches football with me, but she was fascinated watching that game.

Was there offset language in the 5th year option that allows him to double dip? Im not sure that changes the cap charge though- just his actual cash earnings

He wasn't without his faults. Too many formations, too many plays, it always seemed like the plays were getting in super late which leads to penalties. And before you blame Tyrod, he had that problem with Alex Smith and CK in SF. Dabolls units have had penalties in pre-snap but they seem to have mostly cleaned that up. The O-line has been brutal with penalties recently though.

I can't believe they didn't try out Peterman. I want his redemption story!

I remember Greg Roman being a popular pick in the 2015-2016 offseason. He didn't get any traction and we fired him like a week into 2016.

I love him as a player - but i think its a chronic pain tolerance issue.

It's a football game.. and you aren't even playing! You have no bearing on the end result of the game, nor should the end result have any bearing on your needing to fight opposing fans.

I think the team will be active in free agency, but i don't think they'll spend that full 90 million, you can carry it over to next years cap and how much new money you add can affect extensions in the future.

My buddy who is a jets fan was soooo elated that they won against NE - and i wrote write on his playoff bound facebook post. You're going to lose to sexy Rexy and the Bills - mark it.

Just saying - they keep opening this guys feet up. It's becoming a serious problem. He has talent for sure, but he's the 3rd best option on that team at the moment. 2 games with over 100 yards this year, and 3 total TDs. On an offense that is scoring an insane number of points. I wouldn't say he's having a "good" year at all.

When McD mentions the LOS in every presser I think they are both very aware. As for draft - we aren't loaded with tons of talent at any position really other than maybe LB and Safety. BPA if its a DT, DE, OT, WR - they need talent across the board. I would hate reaching for something just because we missed in free agency. It's a process right? I'd like to see a pass rusher added to the group. If the top OL is off the board and a premier DT/DE is available in the draft i say go for it.

They traded for him during a playoff race when our receivers were really banged up. He ended up tearing his meniscus in like his 2nd game here and came back and continued to play sparingly. This season was supposed to be his chance to go through camp - be the number 1. He has been nothing short of worthless. We shot a shot to try and get to the playoffs (we did but he had little to do with it, maybe that TD against Indy in the snow game) - We also had a pick surplus from the Watkins, Darby, Ragland, & Dareus trades. Considering they ended up moving Tyrods last year, and Glenn as well the lost pick isn't exactly hamstringing our draft. Bryce brown was just - a bad player evaluation in the offseason. Either way, neither worked out. a 7th round pick for coleman isn't really worth anything... it was training camp and they knew our WR room was bad. Try and improve it As for Watkins - 40 for 500 and 3 isn't exactly a high level (hes a top 10 paid WR). He's also been having foot issues all season, and his cap hit triples in 2019. They can't even dump him on this deal because they guaranteed so much. The only way to lessen the cap hit would be to extend him, and no one would do that when he missed time every year with a foot soreness issue. If the foot issue continues it could be one of the worst contracts in football.

I just wonder whether teams are able to criticize the officiating - like submit film from the previous game showing all the calls they missed etc. A ref who tells Allen to quit whining/crying, and another who calls Hughes a name - like... its clear they weren't interested in calling this game down the middle.

If no one signs them for a contract of any value - there are no comp picks. We'll also be active in Free agency, and won't have a net loss this year. So we won't get comp picks.

I think the sabres are still paying Cody Hodgson and Christian Ehrhoff

Maybe the straw that broke the camels back. Maybe something more definitive was said - or late to a meeting or something. Either way, its refreshing that they were content to just move on.

We've entered evaluation mode at 4-8. McCloud, Mckenzie, and foster are all trying to make an impression for 2019.
