Mike Edwards has always sucked. I hated the signing when we made it, and the fact that he was a disruption in the locker room is just icing on the cake. He's been complaining for weeks, so this had to be done. If you aren't good enough to beat out Hamlin or Rapp, you better be a rookie or the ultimate process guy. Edwards was none of those, so good riddance. Hopefully they can upgrade via trade, but if not, Cine can't be any worse. I wonder if the Browns would part with Nyheim Hines?

They weren't top-level for the last couple years, and we had other problems before that. They weren't the reason we failed. An elite DT who can disrupt the run and collapse the pocket would also be a much bigger asset than a DE. You need to impact every play, not just have vanity sacks. The Bucs sacked Mahomes 4 times yesterday but they still lost, because they let him go for 77% anyway and let Hunt grind them down. You're looking for a higher ceiling out of our defense when I think our floor is way too low.

I'm totally ok with that. Brady is a product of our roster.

A safety helps take away the deep ball and helps against the run. If we don't shore up the run game, it also leaves us vulnerable to play action. Most of the top teams in the league right now have strong rushing attacks, and that will matter if you want to win a SB this year. On a good day, an elite DE will get you 2-3 sacks, and maybe none of those are game changing. A safety can be a contributor on every play.

Garrett wouldn't be worth what he would cost in a trade. I'd rather have Crosby if he becomes available, but I think adding an elite safety would benefit us more than anything. Give me Matthieu or Byard and I think our defense takes a noticeable step up.

Absolutely fair. I don't expect a rookie WR to come in polished - it's extremely rare, if not unheard of. I only consider it an issue for us in the immediate term because we need to rely on him so much this year. Hopefully working on technique will be a big focus for him in the offseason, and he's a monster next year.

I wouldn't say it's unnecessary. If you have one WR that has catching issues, maybe you can work around that, now our top two outside guys both do, and that's a problem.

To everyone that has ever met me, I'm the biggest Bills fan they've ever met, yet I come on here and have to play the role of the guy that hates the Bills, because this place is constantly filled with the most outlandish nonsense. At no point in his entire life was Amari Cooper close to the player DeAndre Hopkins is. Yea, he's faster, and he's younger - he's still not better. Maybe some people saw that this evening. Cooper was cheap, so that's a bonus, but his lousy hands have already made an appearance for us, and he's leading the league in drops. If there's one non-negotiable I have for a WR, it's catching the football. That said, Cooper is still the best WR on our roster, and I'm happy to have him, but between him and Coleman, we have two starting outside receivers that can't catch. That's not a recipe for success.

In what scenario? If they start 0-5 the following year?

Well, you should if you're going to pretend like we're fielding a high-end football team. our wins have come against opponents with a combined 20-41 record, with 9 of those wins coming from seattle and arizona. We've played against historically bad football teams this year and we haven't always looked good doing it. Josh has been playing very well this year, maybe the best of his career, but we still have issues on offense (two bad drops by Coleman yesterday, and one by Cook), and our defense is nowhere near the level it needs to be to shut down good teams in the playoffs. We're absolutely in store for another scenario where we can't count on them to stop anything and Mahomes just bleeds us out at the end of a playoff game unless something massive changes. Given that all the defensive talent we have has already bloomed, it's unlikely we can count on too many guys getting hot by the end of the year that make a sizeable difference. Bishop maybe? If your goal is to win meaningless games before Christmas, well good news. We should get to 10-12 wins easy because our division is a dumpster fire and we have 3 more gifts on the way. If you're actually trying to win a championship, I don't think this is a team you can seriously consider at this point. We're nowhere near the top 4, and maybe aren't in the top 6.

Seattle is 4-5

It's the best winning percentage in the salary cap era. Not sure how much better you can be.

Who says it was "successful"? Before the Cardinals won yesterday, we hadn't beaten a team that has a winning record. If we can't beat Baltimore or KC in January, then it wasn't successful. The fact that our division has become the worst in football isn't our win.

ARTICLE 3. INJURY TIMEOUTS PRIOR TO TWO-MINUTE WARNING OF EITHER HALF When an injury timeout is called, the injured player must leave the game for the completion of one down. The player will be permitted to remain in the game if: either team calls a charged team timeout; the injury is the result of a foul by an opponent; or the period ends or the two-minute warning occurs before the next snap. At the conclusion of an injury timeout, the game clock will start as if the injury timeout had not occurred. If either team takes, or is charged with, a timeout, the clock will start on the snap.

5%? I'm guessing he practices that all week and he's probably well above 80% on those reps. The odds of a hail mary working there are far lower. In game time situations they appear to have been around 50% as of two years ago with the percentage of 50+ yarders drastically increasing over the last 2 years:

100% the right decision. If you don't have a kicker capable of making that kick, that's a problem.

I can see how from Poyer's perspective it was a clean hit. He wasn't aiming for the head, but he was slow getting to Coleman, so that Coleman's head came down into the path of the blow. It was the top of Poyer's helmet tot he bottom of Coleman's facemask. He led with the shoulder. Not much you can do about that except not go for a hit at all.

Just spitballing here, but the corporations seem like maybe a good place to start.

Each one of the jets players listed is significantly superior. The difference is the Bills have a much better team overall and don't have a cancer at QB. Cook isn't Cook on the Jets.

Chargers are more likely to be buyers than sellers.

The bills have been chasing a big-bodied redzone target for as long as I can remember. It seems they finally have one, and I don't see them having regrets about that. Sure, he may have Lee Smith speed, but he seems like he'll be a good one to have when other receivers can't get open. Reminds me of Dez Bryant. Hopefully he stays healthier.

That's backwards. Brown is coming back. They also have Hopkins now, too.

Ridiculous nonsense.

The season hasn't even started yet. This is all just pre-season for the tournament.

He seemed fine. Bounced up right away, didn't look pie-eyed or have any extremities twitching. Could he have had a mild concussion? Maybe, but it clearly wasn't enough to significantly impair him. This isn't a Tua situation.
