Walker has consistently been disruptive. He was flying around in backfield a bunch yesterday. Steelers game too. I dont think theres been one game that hasnt happened since he started getting some extended playing time.
-
He did against Pitt, but without having looked at anything other than live, I came away thinking he was getting picked on 2nd most after Cam Lewis yesterday. Seemed like he was on Tee a lot yesterday though, and thats a bear of a matchup for anyone. Cant really remember as much in the few weeks previous to Pitt game though.... I def remember him looking rough early quarter of season, weeks 5-9'ish are a bit cloudier. Would be great news if the reason Im not remembering is just a Corner doing his job!! Shaq Thompson - LB'er. Whos been lights out as of late! I doubt Lawson is on a roster, but not on ours [Edit: I stand corrected it appears? Shaq Lawson is on our roster? LOL mustve happened over the holiday and I missed it]

Hot take Bernard injuries are significantly worse than what Benford had going on. Thompson has been awesome, so no need to tinker there, but should we need to i feel good about Bernard with the continued time off. Dude didnt all the sudden suck because he got paid. Hell be fine (should we need him this year), especially if we can continue to let him heal. Next year will sort itself out

Nfl has done their lip service about caring, to protect vs litigation. This is what PLAYERS, coaches, the league, and probably 95% of fans want. About 50% of that 95% wants it this way, they just don't want to know about the dirty secret. I get it, CTE is no joke. Its the Goldman Dilemma in live action. If everyone's preferred interests are aligned, and athletes want to trade off a certainty (playing) at the expense of a down the road, immeasurable probability, thats not guaranteed... thats their personal decision.

100% dont care. Would i "like" to? Of course. But realistically: Its the #1 seed & everyone else 🤷♂️ ive come to terms with that. 2nd or 7th is 90% the same to me. Actually if those are the choices, during this season, gimme the lowest seed. We need the best draft infusion possible. Im firmly in category that were pretenders with how overly 1-D we are. However, if weve figured out how to move the ball through the air with TE's and RB's, I think we'd be a serious threat again. Either way id prefer we pick a direction and g2 it. We learn ways to move ball through air without WRs 🤷♂️ GREAT! Go be the best at it! Go on a run. If that disappears again, id prefer for our medium to long term future, we stall out and miss the playoff.

Absolute MMQB s*** here. "Bills should've took Nacua in the 4th in '23" type energy lol
-
What WRs have we passed on that have been in elite tier? Ladd has been pretty good, and def wss the better pick... but an outside WR is a premium position to fill. A slot guy isn't, because its fillable. There are plenty of pretty good ones floating around. Its manageable to trade into a position where one's available.. teams will entertain trades for them. Their contracts in FA arent overly prohibitive. Not talking down on these guys. Saying elite QBs, LT, DE and outside WRs are guys you cant get in their prime.

The Ray Davis-backup running back discussion
BillsShredder83 replied to TBBills Fan's topic in The Stadium Wall
Im very much a 'you are what you show you are' guy. But hes been setup for failure all year. Zero chance to get in any rhythm. No 3rd down targets. When he has gotten a hand off, theres 2mins left, were up 2 scores, 100% sold out vs run. We need to get him some real drives, not for his good, our own. Cook has never seen this type of work load and hes our most important player currently. If we wanna make a run, g2 let off the gas with him. Also a thunder lightning thing would benefit the duo and that OL. We gotta few weeks to get it going and its a worthy investment. -
Correct - hes actually the opposite of the nutjob you want. Jalen Carter is a true nutjob. Highlyyyyy competitive, loud, plays through whistle and sometimes after a little bit (which i don't hate at all, situationally). Sometimes that nutjob will catch you a dumb flag, might even get you thrown out for spitting lol thats a small part of nutjob package you sign up for. Pickens is the opposite. Hes supremely talented with elite pedigree. You'll never see any of that from above though^^ He likes doing what he likes doing, like getting the ball (usually lol). Anything thats not that? Its a no thanks. Then you'll occasionally get head scratchers... you had a close games. An important game. Favorable matchup against a bad defense. Lamb went down, should've meant extra targets and maximum engagement from him..... he had no interest lol Was like my always food driven dog and I throw him lettuce lol I also am a lot more lenient than most. If a dude is locked in on the field, and its not specifically the r-word act with women, or abuse of kids, I'm in favor of drafting a borderline criminal/off field problems, in favor of supreme talent. My point here? ^^Even these types i referebce above are more desirable than Pickens. On top of that hes a d bag in locker room. He made it 11 games in the single most positive conditions, with his biggest payday ever on the line, and the wheels are falling off lol Now imagine him here, in a run first offense, where even if we get a different coordinator, he will not see the ball anywhere near as much as he does now. Then giving him $50-$60m guaranteed? Lol absolutely not. Thankfully the one time here, our conservative FO, would never ever on earth entertain this lol

Wild you had the right premise and flopped on execution lol Bosa? Been an amazing signing at what we paid him. Crazy pills to suggest otherwise. Low-medium risk/high reward. Could easily see this deal not working out 6 outta 10 times... weve been fortunate. Should we roll the dice again? Ehhhhh. Only way im doing it is a similar financial deal, but he hassssss to see the field less. Can't let him work horse again, no world does this years success repeat another 2 years at this workload. Palmer - spot on Samuel - getting honorable mention is crazy lenient lol my god what an awful deal this has become. In Beanes defense a bit, it looked like a great signing. Injuries have been brutallllll but also have never used him right in the extremely limited amount of time hes been healthy. As bad as it gets here. Hoecht - cant predict injury, although I can sympathize with the PED thing some (whole league is pushing the limit though). Also multi year deal, so wait and see there. Stoked to see him back next year. Groot- yeah, rough one,was really hoping he hadnt reached ceiling, appears he has Benford/Bernard: Benford was someone we couldn't let walk, and the type of injury (concussions) you should be ok taking a risk on imo. Bernard- is a beast when healthy, but misses too many games. Hes touched it through entire season. Only reason he hasn't sat is everyone else being hurt. He

8th In "D" - 2nd in "O"!?!?!
BillsShredder83 replied to MarlinTheMagician's topic in The Stadium Wall
LOL We're fantasy football champs that week!!!! We had more yards... if "only" we did the #1 most important in football, protect the ball we could've won!!! If only our OL had not allowed a 4 man rush to live in our backfield all day, grrrrr, we woulda got them. If only we didnt have 4 WR's who traded out their shadow for a CB... we wouldve had a passing game. If only the most impotent offense in recent memory were impotent'er, we wouldve shut them out. WE ABSOLUTELY SUCKED S*** THAT GAME. THERE ISN'T 1 REDEEMING QUALITY ABOUT THAT GAME EXCEPT 'THE SCORE LOOKS CLOSE'. ITS HARD TO THINK OF A GAME WE WERE DOMINATED HARDER IN, IN THE LAST 3 YEARS, THAN THAT ONE RIGHT THERE. Pure unadulterated hopium smoking. That game should've been 100 - 0. We didn't do anything that prevented it, other than the Texans offense playing even worse than they already are... that had nothing to do with us, and everything on them.
