Hahahaha

By the way that pick six is the result of a coaching mismatch as much as anything else. Minnesota knew exactly where Rodgers wanted to throw the ball and leaked a defender to that spot at the exact right moment.

Go trade a 2nd round pick and tie up a lot of cap space to make GM Aaron happy. Surely that will fix this broken offense.

Lol nice throw old man

Rodgers and Wilson still aren't on the same page on a lot of throws. Rather than work it out, Rodgers prefers to scowl and petition his team to trade for another one of his friends.

I just heard amazing news. Jeremy Maclin is on a plane to Buffalo as we speak.

I don't think a RG is ever going to cost us games. The Chiefs are 4-0 with poor LT play. Torrence is a legit weakness on our team but not an insurmountable problem. It's more annoying than anything because the rest of our line has been so good that if he was playing at even an average level we could have a true elite OL.

Edgar ALLEN Poe 🤔 (Yes I know this is much more likely to be a Ravens reference. Even more likely is that it means nothing!)

Kind of sounds like the Von Miller injury. Initial tests were inconclusive, only after the scope did they discover the ACL tear.

Every season is the same. It's crazy. We look like the best team in football in September, then we lose one game which causes everything to spiral out of control, and then we get hit with a ridiculous amount of injuries especially on defense.

Hopefully he takes the job and never looks back.

I posted this in the game thread too - doesn't this mean DeWayne Carter is the only possible 3T on the active roster? That new signing from Atlanta is a traditional NT. We have Branson Deen on the PS so I guess we'll call him up?

Cody Ford by my memory was even worse. Torrence really just has the one major weakness in his game, Ford on the other hand couldn't do anything right. But if it gets to the end of the season and Torrence still hasn't progressed then I will start to think we will need legit competition at the position next offseason.

Spencer Brown showed flashes of elite play and had ridiculous athletic upside. Torrence doesn't have any of that going for him. My concern is that he hasn't showed any sort of progress. He is still getting beat in the same way he was last year. I'm not giving up on him, offensive linemen can take a while to develop, but early returns are not promising.

One piece of good news: But pass rush is going to be a big problem on Sunday. Maybe Javon Solomon will show out.

Correct me if I'm wrong but isn't DeWayne Carter now the only 3T we have on the roster with Oliver and Johnson both out? I guess we'll call up Branson Deen?

The next regime to take over the Jets is going to be handed a huge mess.

It's a great post Kirby, the quoted part is the only part I slightly disagree with. I am not one that thought the Bills should take the most pro ready WR in the draft. You have to use your top draft pick for with next five seasons in mind, not just the upcoming season. I really liked Keon Coleman in the context of that philosophy and I still do. I'm seeing what I wanted to so far - a WR that's open even when he's covered. His drop deep down the sideline was tragic but even there you can see the skills that make him such a good WR prospect for Josh Allen to have, he just needs to lock in the ball next time and not get greedy thinking about the endzone. His two back shoulder catches along the sideline in tight man coverage should be a staple of our offense, especially if defenses are going to dare us to throw the ball outside. But it's going to take him time to fully develop his skillset and learn the nuances of the position. Coleman was never a ready from day one prospect. So while I'm fine with taking somewhat of a project with their first pick, obviously I'm not satisfied with how they handled the room overall, and really that starts with how they've handled it since 2021. They've shown a shocking lack of urgency which continued this offseason. My biggest disappointment actually is Curtis Samuel. I know some think the Bills haven't figured out the right way to use him, but personally I think he just hasn't been as good as they hoped. Maybe it's the turf toe. He hasn't looked as explosive as promised and he isn't separating. It almost reminds me of Deonte Harty but with a much larger contract. Hopefully it is just a lingering injury holding him back.

Texans 30 Bills 21 Trying something different this week. I've predicted a win in every game but even the wins I predicted I was way off on what the game script would look like. So, hopefully my feelings about this game will turn out similarly wrong. I worry that Joe Mixon is the exact type of RB that will give us issues. I worry that we have no one that can get pressure on CJ Stroud. I worry Baltimore laid out the blueprint for how to slow down our offense and if I'm being honest even 21 points seems optimistic. I worry that Bass vs Fairbairn is as wide a talent gap as anything else in this game. Call it an overreaction but I'm not going to shake the Ravens beatdown until the Bills show me it was a one time fluke.

Yeah I hope the rumor is true for the same reason as you. Cooper to me is the ideal scenario, very affordable and no cap implications beyond this year. Hopkins would be a good addition too. I want it to be true that Beane is turning over every stone to add a legit outside WR.

Tua was close to bust status before McDaniel took over. Personally I still think he's a very limited QB and they have a poor OL. McDaniel turned all of that into an elite offense, and I don't blame him for Tua falling apart every winter. But being just a great offensive mind isn't enough in the NFL. Andy Reid made a great DC hire which turned the Chiefs into a dynasty. McDaniel hasn't gotten it right yet. Also I think Chris Grier is one of the worst GMs in the league. Reminds me of Doug Whaley, loves making a splash move but has no clue how to build a team.

Part of me always feels like the Bills are just used as bait in these situations to drive up the price for a team like the Jets. Nothing ever leaks out of One Bills Drive to the national media under the current regime so I want to believe this is true but deep down I don't.

McDaniel's problem is he can't get the defense right. To be a head coach in this league you have to get both sides of the ball figured out, and their defense has been abysmal at times. And look at the Bills dominance in the division from Miami's perspective. Every time they have a big game against us they fall apart, or the one time they beat us it ultimately didn't matter in the final standings. At this point he is just an elite offensive mind not a great head coach. This year he got hit by bad circumstances more than his own failures, but even still we were blowing out his team before Tua's concussion and at a certain point there are no excuses you just have to find a way to overcome your division rival.
