Bills are 3-0 at home with an average margin of victory of 23.5 points. Line is probably too low to be honest.

Is OBJ even going to be ready to play meaningful snaps this year? Seems like these ACL's are taking longer to come back from than I remembered. I'm a UCLA guy and the school announced this week that two of our basketball players that tore ACL's over a full year ago are still not cleared to play. If he somehow manages to get himself fully healed by say, mid-December, he's still got to pass the physical, get himself up to gamespeed (a few weeks), learn the playbook, etc. So, you're looking at unveiling him in the playoffs? I'm excited about the idea of OBJ in Buffalo, but I just don't think it's likely to happen, or if it does, that it pays any demonstrable dividends this season.

I love our team. We are great. Probably the best in the league (pending the Eagles ever actually facing a good team). But I still hit the "disagree" button on the OP. I know we beat the Chiefs, but I think they are right there with us in terms of talent and coaching and would probably take 40-50% of matchups with us on any given Sunday. We narrowly won the last one, so we currently have the bragging rights, but is anyone here eager to see that team again in a meaningful game (regardless of where it's being played)? I'm still of the opinion that we can play a good-to-very_good game and lose to the Chiefs "great game" (See, for example, 2021 divisional playoff game).

Of course, "I do", but I was talking about most TBD posters.

Better than my deal, which was apparently "no sex as a condition of marriage."

Yep. He easily fills McKenzie's role if Lil Dirty should get nicked up.

They are very different backs and styles, regardless of what role they had previously filled with their teams. Cook now becomes the change of pace to Motor (Moss role) and Hines immediately slots in as the 3rd down back. You'll see.

I think Cook could fill the Singletary role next year. He's potentially a more complete back than either Hines (strictly a scatback pass catching type) or Motor.

I like it! You can clearly see the dimension he'll bring as a proven pass catching option out of the backfield.

I like it!!! Hines immediately slots into the role the Bills envisioned when they drafted Cook. Cook can take time to mature and play when he's truly ready.

Exactly. And they did it because Stafford is an aging QB and they felt they needed to strike while the iron was hot. They got their ring, but they paid the price for it this season. Maybe that's a great tradeoff? Or maybe they don't make the playoffs for 10 years?

It's only one season, and you can't deny that the Rams just sort of lucked out by getting to face the Niners and then Bengals in the NFC championship and Super Bowl. It wasn't a murderer's row or anything.

3rd in completion percentage, 4-to-1 TD/INT rate, top 5 in YPG. 5-0 record in games he started and finished. Yeah, he's not Josh Allen and he's fragile as hell, but the kid deserves his due for what he's accomplished this season. He's been very very good.

He only attempted 18 passes since we possessed the ball for 41 minutes. Averaged 10 ypa, didn't turn the ball over and had a QBR of 80. By the way, he leads the NFL in both passer rating and QBR.

Had a feeling this one was coming. Good pickup for the Fins depending on compensation.

Goodell must have sent an eightball of coke to every NFL GM this week.

Can't wait until the big trade comes down. Beane sends a 2024 7th rounder for some 3rd string special teams LB. 😄

FinHell fans seem to be pretty pissed about this acquisition, so that makes me happy.

Phins fans have to be feeling pretty good right now.

Damn. Dolphins ain't playing.

Can someone please post an exciting fake tweet involving a rumored Bills trade? At least give us something to chew on for the next 90 minutes!

Why do people view Claypool as a bust? He's done fine for a second round receiver and he's still young with plenty of time and room to improve. He hasn't benefitted from very good QB play either.

I take back what I said above. Just watched about 10 minutes of Hines tape and he seems like an ideal 3rd down back. Looks like a good route runner and a very nice natural hands catcher. Appears to be a much more natural receiver than Singletary and would allow us to continue to bring Cook along slowly or move him into the Moss role of spelling Motor as the 1st/2nd down back every 3rd series or so. I'd like it! Also, Indy fans do love the guy which is encouraging.

What's the deal with Hines? I admittedly haven't watched him much, but he looks like a lesser version of Singletary. Very pedestrian season-to-season career numbers. Hard to think we don't already have a Hines on the practice squad named Duke Johnson.

Well, that was a short lived dream. Lol.
