Josh Allen?! I heard that guy was overrated...

Shhhhhh...

I appreciate your excellent response. Though I would mention that NFL history is replete with speedy RBs who could not translate their college success to the NFL. Often because they lack the vision or shiftiness that I suggested Samuel may lack. I liked the Samuel signing, and I'm excited to see what he can be in this evolving offense. But so far, screens to him aren't working, where screens to Shakir consistently find success. Perhaps it's lingering effects of the toe injury. I suspect we'll find out as I don't think Brady will stop running Samuel screens. I'm definitely hoping you're correct. Thank you for the discussion. No sarcasm intended.

He's fast, but I don't know that he has the shiftiness or vision to weave through traffic like Shakir does.

The screen game to Samuel has been objectively bad this season. Just because one works doesn't mean screens to him are a good idea. I like Samuel as a weapon. But seems to me his game should be short and intermediate routes. He's done much better with these than with screens. Not everything has to be an argument.

Beane likes to sign his own. Draft and develop. And these guys are all "Buffalo" guys.

As long as they stop with the screens to him. But yes, his acceleration on that TD was impressive. His toe must be getting better. Showed a lot of burst on that play.

This is the chiefs we're talking about, here. Something tells me he suddenly goes 3/3 in FGs, and 2/2 on XPs.

I never understood the whole "rebuilding" narrative. Besides Floyd and Morse, the Bills lost a bunch of guys who were no longer contributing at a high level (if at all). We didn't lose the Poyer, Hyde, White, Diggs from 3 seasons ago. Don't even get me started on Gabe. The on-field production lost, was absolutely replaceable with player development, a decent free agency, and a good draft. The Bills happen to have an elite GM who had a plan.

Josh's running ability limits our screen game success. Defense's eyes are in the back field.

Can the Bills please take every designed play where Samuel gets the ball near the LOS, and toss it. That's all I want for Christmas.

I don't even think Kevin Costner can fix this Browns team.

That's around the time Philips would get injured anyway. He was always bad as a run defender. Looks like he's worse this season. He always wanted to rush the QB, which he was pretty good at in spurts. Maybe obvious passing downs he could still do something. But I'll pass on this one.

This chiefs team is truly the most boring great team I can remember watching. Their games are so predictable.

When you take a small school CB in the 6th, you don't expect him to before an elite corner, either. Benford is locking dudes down. That doesn't make Elam a bad CB.
