Bleeding Bills Blue

Yeah - its just the usage in a Gase offense. Crowder is going to see the most targets assuming he's healthy. Anderson is going to see that - 100 targets with a 50% catch percentage type of year imo. Yeah - we have them beat there, our depth is honestly strong there too. I'm hoping we pass the ball the entire game against them. Force them into man coverage - use Allens legs to buy time to make plays, as well as pick up some easy firsts.

Mosley's not a slouch - he is however overpaid. I think part of what buffalos practicing is different combinations of spreading 5 wide to play to the Jets weaknesses. Spreading wide like that is going to force you into favorable matchups with beasley and mccoy.

I think Darnold is already on a trajectory to being a great QB. I'm not sure how Gase got that job. He's not the QB guru he makes himself out to be. From a yardage perspective his offenses have always ranked in the 20s - unless he had that Peyton Manning character basically co-offensive coordinating and playing HOF level QB. Then again - they almost hired Mike McCarthy... so they gotta be happy that they didn't do that.

You almost have to stack passing lanes against Gase offenses though. Almost all the passes are really short - with the occasional deep shot.

Knox should be interesting - i bet he doesn't do anything and everyone gets alarmed. I'm personally just happy he's practicing and healthy.

I put Bates - I like an underdog and considering we signed Morse and Long - still have Bodine... a UDFA tackle from Penn State is looking good completely out of position? I love it.

I think the luck in the Von Miller game was that the refs felt the need to call that a penalty... He was clearly joking. I think that Matt Ryan play was a pass... but hey the refs didn't see enough to overturn. The colts were playing a backup QB so i feel like we should probably win that game anyway, but i also think that amount of snow made that game basically a coin-flip. The OPI call bailed us out on the conversion too - a borderline call. Dalton throwing a TD on 4th and 12 against a top 10 defense in a game that meant nothing to them - is lucky. They were an alright team - but they got some lucky calls that year.

Took 3/4 from Jets/Fins. Von Miller not helping up Tyrod cost them the ball and a chance at the game. - Pretty lucky Falcons win with the weird matt ryan fumble 20 yards down the field that got returned for a TD in a 1 score game. - Really Lucky Tre white with a huge play in the bucs game to clinch it (Tyrod was great in that game). - Offense did enough Raiders cant stop turning it over. -Given away Big win over the Chiefs with Tyrod coming back after the Peterman benching and playing normal mediocre turnover free football. - Lights out D Lucked out in the snow. -Really lucky that shady is the best blizzard RB of all time Dalton miracle pass to put us in. -I'm not sure there's ever been anything luckier They were VERY lucky that year.

I mean - Whaley panic extended him... then we had to panic bench him so we didn't get stuck with his contract.... Then we had to panic re-negotiate with him... Just about the only smart move that was made with TT was trading him for way more value than he was worth.

I think X? He's the guy thats pretty much always in the same place now? Or is he the Z? I never know what the difference is.

they play away games against NE, Chicago, Jax, Tenn, and a mexico game against the chargers. 16-0 is a pipe dream. They get houston, and baltimore too. All of those teams have solid defenses. I can honestly see them starting 0-1 against the jaguars.

... good point.

Over the last 2 years buffalo has had basically - a bottom 5 offense. Teams like that typically win like 3 games. So to have made the playoffs - proves to me that this guy has some chops.

https://www.spotrac.com/nfl/miami-dolphins/mario-williams-3849/cash-earnings/ The guy made 120 million dollars in his life. Can't ya just go fishing and enjoy yourself?

Just saying - this guy looks more logan thomas than anything else. There will be other scout QB options for the practice squad.

Fine - get me a scout QB that's better than the 5th string Tight end from last year.

He was an injury settlement, then once he could pass a physical he found a job here. We had like no options, and he signed and started in less than 2 weeks. He backed up peterman against the bears after signing like what 3 days before?

I just don't see the point to a developmental QB when you have a 2nd year QB starting. Especially one who has shown nothing at all so far.

Yeah - when an owner is expecting the team to be mediocre-bad... it makes sense to save cash. We had a very cheap team the last 2 years, thus more profitable for the Pegulas.

He's just not a very good player anymore

He was drop City for a while there in Oakland. Seems to have turned a corner tho

I mean... not a wrong strategy. Drafted Addai and between him and Rhodes you got similar numbers to what James had the year before. They also won the super bowl in 2006 the first year post James. They could have - had they not used their 4th round pick to move up for Ragland. Dak probably would have been one of the top prospects had he been in that lousy EJ manuel draft so seeing him available in the 4th would have been smart to draft. Don't worry - we got Cardale Jones 5 picks later...

He could sign anywhere... but he probably wouldnt.

He's an ERFA next year too - would make sense. They'd have to add him to IR later so they could bring him back. In the meantime it would free up a roster spot for another WR who you could release if you needed to activate him. Or if another receiver were hurt he could then be brought back. Yeah - but we could cut and bring back a mccloud or williams or mckenzie. They could theoretically sign elsewhere but if we told them we were bringing them back they'd probably just wait.

Yes backs are replaceable but he's ur best player and probably the best back in the league. He's also the cheapest.
