Guessing he's now our 4th outside CB, right? He'd been playing pretty much backup Safety all year with the ability to hop in as the slot and nickel CB. Now with Savage won't it just be a seamless transition to move him into Ingram's role? And isn't he better than Ingram? Sure seems like it to me. Ingram wasn't even active the last 3 games. And Darius Slay doesn't play Special Teams, Cam Lewis is a special teams ace. Plus, Darnell Savage was a pretty productive Packers DB who really just wasn't re-signed more for money issues than flat out not wanting him... sound familiar? So in the process of Slay refusing to report Beane upgrades our 4th CB and Safety depth while finding a possible future starter after this trial run. 4D chess by Beane

Can mods move this to PPP? Any mention of Trump will inevitability devolve into a brutally toxic discussion.

My buddy is a die hard Packers fan and said Savage was good for them up to 2023 before he left. So no, I don't think this is like Elam at all. If you listened to McDermott's Friday presser that's obvious. He clearly really wanted Ingram back on the team.

Forgive me. I don't know if anyone else in this forum is like me at this point and comes here as much (maybe more) for Bills news than discussion... but the fact that the other thread hasn't changed the title to acknowledge Slay ain't coming and we will now have an open roster spot that will not be filled by a player we've had on the team developing for years now because he was claimed by a Conference rival playoff contender is a little frustrating. if I'm alone, sue me.

As scary as the Bengals are (and they absolutely are), Beane and McDermott have constructed our D specifically to stop teams like this that are so pass heavy. Our back 7 have actually played awesome against the pass pretty consistently this year and with Shaq at MLB, I like our defensive chances against Burrow.

You disagree?

Sorry I don't agree. Buffalo having any path that doesn't include either the Ravens or Chiefs is the best possible path. And yes. I watched the Houston game... I'll take my chances with JA17 getting a 2nd chance against Houston over Lamar or Mahomes. Gimme the easiest path please.

I'm not holding out hope for the division, but if the Bills were to win out and if the Patriots were to lose either of their last 2 games to the Dolphins or Jets, the Bills would win the division as the tiebreaker would end up being Conference record where the Bills would have the edge with 3 losses to the Patriots 4. The Pats have been gifted about the easiest set of circumstances given scheduling and fluky events like Chase getting suspended for their game that they still almost lost. Maybe the ball keeps bouncing their way, but Miami and the Jets to close the season won't necessarily be gimmes as divisional games. That said, no game for Buffalo is a gimme either, so they need to take care of their own business.

Not only that, but the Bengals get a mini-bye week playing us since they're coming off a Thanksgiving game. Better not overlook them. Our next 2 opponents have +9 days of extra rest with the Pats playing on MNF instead of Sunday.

Actually I think our pass D has been mostly great all year and it's really because of the way Beane and McDermott have built the team with such a focus on the back 7. It's part of the reason I feel more confident playing teams like the Bengals and Chiefs than I do the Ravens since our run D has been a huge issue.

Yes. Of course they can. With Josh Allen anything is possible. And I would argue our remaining schedule is pretty easy, all things considered.

Honestly... he was forced into it. Why didn't he adjust halfway through the Houston game?

Did we have an extra roster spot for both Grable and Davis? I know we put Samuel on IR but where is the other spot coming from? Wonder if the Latu elevation means Kincaid isn't playing. At best the plan is to see how he looks in warmups and decide then.

Seems you're a bit sensitive. Read through your own thread. Pretty clear this "satire" was lost on a whole bunch of other posters. Friendly advice: If you're aiming for satire, don't insert so many qualifiers. Hope you had a nice Thanksgiving
