Have to say the Allen stats v Baltimore over the last few days have surprised me a little..... he will need to play better than that for us to win this week. I think 27-24. I just don't know who to 😄

Welcome to the world of #2 / #3 receivers in the NFL. That is the kind of story for most. Take Jameson Williams - who is much more talented than Gabe to be clear - broke out last year with his first 1,000 yard season (1,001 yards to be exact). Just shy of 40% of that production came in 3 games and he had 5 games under 40 yards. It's sort of par for the course for 2nd and 3rd option type guys. I don't think Gabe is ever gonna put up 1,000 yards.... but fully healthy he can put up 500 plus even if that is likely to be inconsitently spread through the season. The people acting like he is a scrub who can't play are way over the top. He isn't and never was, a difference maker. But he can play in the NFL. I think he had proven that more than some guys on our roster.

Yea that's my take they have plenty of options in the slot. I honestly don't know how much Moore is gonna play. I thinknafter a strong spring he disappeared in camp and if he can't work his way onto the field some then 4, 5, 6 weeks down the line I can well imagine them considering him expendable.

This is absolutely correct IMO. I have made similar points previously.

Moore most likely.

I think we were 28th or 29th not 31st. But still not good and it needs significant improvement in 2025.

I think he is a better option than Moore and possibly Samuel if he can't get on the field. I think Shavers is mainly there to play teams. So maybe he is a tad safer.

If that is true it will take longer. But he isn't here just to sit on the PS and rehab IMO. At some point he is here to be on the roster.

Moore is most in danger.

Give it 3 weeks he will be on the active roster.

Did they? The Bills had a DC who'd just led the #2 defense in the NFL at the point Spags was hired by the Chiefs.

Agree. I think this will be the best Chiefs offense in at least 3 years. When Rice is back and they can roll our Rice, Worthy and Hollywood that is the best 1,2,3 at receiver Mahomes will ever have had. I think Simmons, even if has some rookie ups and downs is the most talented guy they've ever had at left tackle in this era too - certainly as a pass blocker. I think there is a very good chance the Chiefs are better than last year but win fewer regular season games because their schedule is tough and their division is much improved over where it was a couple of years ago. 12 or 13 wins a top 3 seed, another AFCW title and a more dangerous team than ever in the post season is my prediction. That said, my gut feeling is they won't make the SB this year. I just feel like someone will get them this time.

Of course I didn't mean it was literally "shall we IR him or shall we cut him" I just mean when they were making their final roster decisions they are balancing a lot of variables, especially now you have the two IR to return slots. I do think leaving aside how he performed for a second the fact he was out there with the 3s and even the 4s (in game 2) in pre-season says something about where the coaching staff see him right now. Of course for Beane especially the better optics that allowing him to spend a year on IR offer was the preferrable choice. It's a big blow for the player. I think he really needed to show something this year. The chances are that with Daquan done after this year the Bills will try again to add another 1T type next offseason (probably a vet.... watch for Harrison Phillips if he is cut by the Jets after the year). So Carter will come into next year at best 5th on the depth chart again.

I wasn't sure if it was different for week 1 with Labor day as well etc. We expecting to hear from McD today?

@SDS - where art thou great leader? The masses are looking for your guidance......

When do we get the first official injury report? Is it today?

To an extent, sure. But he can't keep making the major mental mistakes in coverage he has been making that have given up backbreaking plays at a rate of basically one every two starts. I think he gets the first 4 or 5 games whatever the weather. But if he is not playing well and showing demonstrable improvement after that all bets are off. Otherwise it could quickly get to the point where the teammates around him are thinking "this guy is killing us" and if it gets to that point he is done.

Josh was rubbish for the majority of that Dolphins playoff game, and had we lost it then it would totally have been on him. The Dolphins had 1 drive over 30 yards all game until garbage time. But he did lead two big touchdown drives in the 3rd Quarter that were basically all him without which the Bills don't win. So he got himself out of the hole he had dug himself into. It is by far his worst playoff performance.

I seem to be having issues with the survivor link. I am in the pick em and the private survivor... but the general survivor link above doesn't work for me for some reason.

They will go better than 4-4 and better than 7-2 IMO. 13-4 and the 1 or 2 seed.

Yea I am a Liam Cohen believer and I think that Texans oline sucks. If Lawrence can just play okay with BTJ and Hunter they have a chance.

I'm in Scotland this weekend. So something deep fried at a guess.

Hmmm. Odd timing. He is meh anyway. Way not to cut him?

My division winners: Bills Ravens Chiefs Jaguars Eagles Packers Rams Falcons Playoffs.... toss of a coin. I hope and believe the AFCCG can be in Buffalo.

Because of a midget goalkeeper who sets a 3 man wall then stands four yards the other side? Too right I am. But yes. Under and under.
