Bleeding Bills Blue

Being in the booth with all the assistants would probably help with that. Felton has been very key for us, he's creating cutback lanes outside and overall blocking like a mad man.

I like that o'leary doesn't wear gloves. He's that confident in his hands for some reason... The amount of tack on the gloves is insane btw... no CLUE why he wouldn't wear them.

Know what we need in the draft? MORE! trade back - add more depth. 2nd/3rds get paid a lot less than 1st rounders. This helps keep cap number down, and adds more chances to hit in the draft. How they didn't put WR is beyond me. We have no depth as it stands, and 3 of our 5 are UFAs next year.

One would have to assume he has an element of a pass catcher to his game. Rather than be solely a blocking TE.

Looking beyond the numbers - and actually watching him play. He is very tyrod. If he doesn't have his first read, he's dumping off to running backs. He was also borderline terrible his first 5 years in the league. I'm all for finding a QB too. But people are saying we can't pay TT that contract. We have to cut him. Don't realize we're digging ourselves back into the same hole we did when we released fitzpatrick. There are 0 starters available at that position. So we then start the year with cardale, and apparently our 1st round draft pick (or multiples if we decide to trade up). We're probably a worse team at that point than we would be if we keep him. If we keep TT through 2017 - his 2018 dead money hit is only 2 million. Really not that bad - and we might know what we have in Cardale by then as well (takes job from TT in camp/midseason etc.)

Would you rather - keep gilmore and draft a WR in the first. Or sign Jeffrey (i know we can't guarantee that happens obviously), and draft a CB in the first? Assuming $$ is similar.

One of them is their starting LG Joe Thuney. The other is that Mitchell kid who mixed it up with our guys. Probably their 4th receiver. Long is playing - Ninkovich was suspended. He's in their End rotation with Sheard, Ninkovich, and Flowers. It was a deeper position there, and he was going to want a massive raise. Cooper was on the last year of a rookie deal - 5th year option not picked up - and will be a free agent. Costs the same to get rid of him, and he's probably just interior depth the rest of the way.

If you want money to sign people - Cutting KW - 1.5 Dead - saves 6.8 million + the 6 million or so we'll carry over + at least 15 million in regular cap space (with TT under contract). and you're at 27.8 million. Do we give half to Gilmore? Or we could try to save a little money and go after more affordable replacements. Then keep Z-brown/Lorax, and add a receiver or two and double down on TT development. You can't keep everyone, and it becomes letting players walk when they want more than you feel they deserve. New England has built a great team, by not overpaying players. Trade chandler jones for a player and a pick, flip the pick into 2 picks, and use the cap savings to sign chris long. Massive Value there. Also - this would be the 3rd year in a row where we'd have to use the tag to keep someone. That hamstrings your cap while you hammer out an extension (if you do). So that means we won't be able to go after Free agent receivers, safeties, tight ends etc. until the market simmers and we can get them cheap. It comes down to keeping KW, or Gilmore to me. I don't think TT goes anywhere because there isn't a viable replacement strategy.

Lin also Joseph was in blockable in this game. Was in the backfield all game. Not even fair

Richie hasn't been great, Glenn's been hurt, and CK wasn't like, noticeably bad... I'll take it

To be fair they got their starting LG Joe Thuney and Malcolm Mitchell from the 2nd round pick (traded to N.O for their 3rd/4th). Is Cooper still hurt? or just no good? Either way - they got rid of stork and have better depth than they had a year ago. Chris Long's looked solid so far this year too.

Kids a warrior - he'd sling it... and probably fumble and intercept his way to a loss. Penalties certainly hurt his game (the personal foul was a bit ticky tack to me - they pushed each other one time after a play... corners/receivers get away with worse). But i thought he blocked really well, and what he said was basically that we were more physical from start to finish. Which was true.

Only way New England was getting back in that game was a turnover or big play. They had neither. We had penalties kill us in the red zone on at least 2 of those FG drives. Another one i remember we went super conservative and ran right into them.

Exactly - TT lines up under center, sees something he likes/helps set blocking for the line and yells out a change and motions himself out.

I think Indianapolis might be a good landing spot. Pagano's terrible, and they need a GM who know's what he's doing. But they have Luck - and that helps a lot.

We got a cabelas. Wanna poop there? Don't get the buffalo hate, I've been to mass. It's fine. Boston is like 20 dollar beer night every night, but it's pretty cool.

Sorry, but hogan had 2 handfuls of bills jersey on that opening play. Pi or not, they're gonna call that, it was the lane that Edelman ran through

I don't know that much about pregame football. But offenses and defenses warm up on separate sides of the field. Why are u repeatedly running through the other teams drill? U can run to midfield and turn around...? Seems like they wanted to piss us off. Looks like it backfired.

He converted several 3rd and longs today with some clutch scrambling and passing. Threw some away on some other scrambles. I thought he played well. Woudlve liked to put the pedal to the metal a bit more in the 2nd half. But we won 2 without Sammy, and woods and clay both had a few nice 1st down plays, and we outsmarted them in the red zone. Can't really complain. 15 passing 1st downs. May be the same amount we had in weeks 1-3

I like that he's delegating more. He's more in tune with what's going on on the field, and I think rob is part of why he's comfortable doing it. He won a challenge on a really poor spot, and seemed to have better awareness on both sides of the team whether it was going back to the wildcat, or dialing in a blitz.

Um. Good point?

By most people's grades, we had an excellent draft this year. Esp considering Seymour looked alright, and washing tons been getting a fair amount of snaps. We also added an upside qb, which is something we never do... And needed. Jonathan Williams looked like a solid value pick. All in all actually a pretty solid looking draft.

Between free agency, and overpaid guys getting cut. The list looks better for next year. Also the draft. Expect us to have a totally revamped wr corps.

On the bills. Qb if it's there, if not add a receiver in the first 2 rounds. Maybe a pass rusher or corner. Trade back, not up. Trade up to make the initial splash. Trade back when u have job security.

Antonio brown doesn't fall into this study and he's the best player in the league
