    Mahomes and Buffalo Bills QB Josh Allen will team up to take on Tom Brady of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and Aaron Rodgers of the Green Bay Packers on Wednesday at Wynn Las Vegas. The 12-hole, match-play event for charity begins at 5:30 p.m. Central Time on TNT.

     

    According to WynnBet Sportsbook, Brady and Rodgers are heavily favored to beat Mahomes and Allen. This is hardly a surprise considering that Rodgers has the best handicap of any player in this group by far.

    While Brady's handicap ranks slightly lower than that of Mahomes, they are still ranked closely together while Allen lags behind the field.


    Player    Handicap
    Aaron Rodgers    4.6
    Patrick Mahomes    7.7
    Tom Brady    8.1
    Josh Allen    9.0

    On any givin Wednesday night!!  JA17 will over achieve.  Kermit & JA17 steal this one. 

  2. This case is a big one for the NFL to get right. Professional Sports leagues will be using this decision forever when it comes to sexual misconduct. They have a lot more information than we do. But I can’t see any way that they allow Watson to play before this is settled. And then he will get suspended if appropriate. What if the NFL let’s Watson play or suspends him for a few games and he goes and starts doing this again or rapes a masseuse. A hyperbolic scenario I know. But this guy doesn’t think he has done anything wrong. He’s going to continue his actions. Get ready Cleveland ladies Deshaun’s “ coming to town”.

    My expectations are much much lower than Alvin Kamara, that is way too high. I'm expecting JC to run about 90-100 times a year and catch 75ish balls, I don't expect him to get the carries that Kamara does, I just have concerns about Cook's size and ability to be durable if he sees a lot of action.  

    His stylistic comparison is Kamara. He may never get there ability wise.

    I started this dialogue for discussion.  I think if you have Sirius and listen you’ll enjoy some of the topic.  I’ll add as the NFC posts.  I don’t disagree after

    listening to all four shows of the AFC once they explained their findings.

    Pat & Jim are a good listen. They have pride in their job.They try and be as objective as possible. They have their favorites like anyone else. They have tremendous respect for Coach McDermott & Brandon Beane.

    The OL story will be very intriguing. I've added TEs and RBs for the role they play in run/pass blocking.

     

    Dawkins was a liability for the first 2/3rd's of 2021 and then he played the best football of his career after coming back from second COVID infection. He looked like an All-Pro late last year. 

    Morse has never lived up to his contract but he too played his best football in a Bills uniform last year. 

    Brown was very good in run blocking but was just shy of a liability in pass blocking.  They really need him to improve in year 2 because the swing OT spot is a mess.

    Two schools on Bates. He is that good which begs why the hell did it take so long to get him in the lineup? Or he is not that good and he will regress back to being a career backup. 

    Saffold looks like a solid signing. Should be very good in a more balanced offense that runs the ball a bit more.  Hopefully he is good enough in pass protection.

    Interior depth is a massive question mark. They have bodies that have played in several games in Ford and Boettger but both of these guys will have trouble even making the roster.

    As above swing tackle is a mess, but Quessenberry has some experience and offers an ability to play inside if needed.  Odd story last year. Almost like boom or bust. Plays well the majority if the time but then gives up 17 sacks. Another year removed from his cancer diagnosis and a new OL coach may be the key to him taking another step forward and pushing for a starting role.  Doyle will only make the roster for use in the heavy TE sets. I'd prefer they keep him and get rid of Sweeney as the third TE.

    And as for TE, Knox and Howard are just average in blocking. Maybe Knox gets a little better. Knox is a star ready to dominate this year in the pass game, so whatever he brings as a blocker is just added bonus. 

     

    Two additional notes. Singletary and Moss are exceptional pass blockers. I've rewatched most of the games from last season and they are both excellent at finding the free rusher or where they need to help out. And lastly, my annual Gilliam crusade. This guy does nothing well and on a team that uses 2 or more spots solely for special teams and a roster this deep, he has to go. Keeping him hurts the team depth somewhere else simply by taking up a roster spot better suited for WR, DL, or OL.

    Great point about both RB’s being excellent in pass pro. Very underrated aspect of our offense.

    Check out Joe Marino on Locked on Bills via Youtube.  He talked about next off season and possible restructuring moves by Beane.  It's about 30 minutes long.  If you don't have the time.  The short answer is restructure Allen's contract I.e. convert a chunk of his salary to signing bonus.  

    To expand on this just a little he showed a path to get to 50 or 60 million with some restructuring & cuts. Josh & Diggs & Dawkins we’re the big ones to restructure.

    12-24 month suspension? 

    I think the HBO Real Sports interviews of the Woman will be telling. Most everything we’ve heard is through the Lawyers. I can’t see the NFL letting him play if these interviews paint a savage display towards woman. Until everything is cleared up. Not sure what that window is. Have to believe that’s up to Watson as these are civil and not criminal charges

    I’d like to Manny back as well, but I think he’s made his decision to walk away.

    I haven’t seen anything definitive on that but could have easily missed it. A competitor like MS is going to get the itch to come back with this team. And finish a SB Champion 😁

    Hey Guys:

     

    I found this topic interesting.  The Movin the Chains guys are taking a division a day and rating the offensive lines across the league.  Now they put in so much analysis on additions, substitutions, losses, number of snaps, sacks all allowed, penalties, continuity, and depth (they had so many categories I may have missed some so for the guys who listen to this show live or on demand, feel free to add any categories Mills and Pat chose).  This is not my list, nor am I asking you you’re personal choices to add, but feel free to chine in however you like.  They do this 20 pt.  analysis and assign a rating based on the data above.  I find it interesting, and once they get done with the line, they move onto every other position group.  In previous years, our line was 10th, DB’s 2nd, QB’s 2nd, etc.

     

    Ok, I’ll put down what I wrote, but I didn’t have the opportunity to listen Friday as that was the AFCW, so I only have the first three so far.  They haven’t touched the NFC yet, so that should be this week.

     

    (out of a perfect score of 20)

     

    AFCE - Monday

    Bills 17 - note they included data from Saffold and others coming from another team.

    Pats 11

    Jets 11

    Phins 10

     

    AFCN - Tuesday

    Ravens 14, but if injuries improve could move up to 16-17

    Bengals 13 due to their additions and deletions.  Please not they evaluate a players last year data even if on another team.  
    Steelers 13

    Browns 16

     

    AFCS - Thursday

    Texans 15

    Indy 16

    Jax 14 

    TN 13

     

    AFCW was Friday, but the on demand is not loaded into the App yet.  I will add to this list as they are done each day.  If they are the same in order from last year, they move onto QB’s next historically, then WR’s TE’s and RB’s.  They they start on the defense.  Each group is evaluated based on their jobs so they define each category and analysis  each day so people can follow along.

     

    So as if three divisions, they have rated the Bills the best at this point.  They teased the Chiefs would be rated high.  With this desert of post draft, prior to camp, I enjoy their analysis and there is really very subjective like or dislike, but they compare apples to apples  in how they evaluate each team.  They pointed out there were 3 O Lineman with over 1000 snaps on the Bills line.

     

    All of these shows are maintained on on demand section on app for a few days so I think they’ve kept all of them since Monday.  Note, Wed. Mills was off so they don’t do a rating day when both Mills and Pat aren’t there.  Enjoy listening to them directly, and don’t take my word for it.

     

    I hope you like the topic.  They know the Bills will be a top 10 Line, but they force ranks 1-5 and we won’t know until they get through the whole league whether they consider us a top 5 line.  They were very complimentary of the continuity of Buffalo.  They also state who the coaches are meaning our line coach and asst line coach.

     

    Enjoy and welcome feedback.  If you have Sirius, you’d enjoy this more if you listened to the shows.  You’ll miss out on the AFCE probably after today, and they have titles for each segment so you can skip the calls and athlete interviews.

    I was listening Friday. They gave the Chiefs a 19. They have KC as the top Oline in the AFC and the Bills second.

    I was curious to see who our 2023 opponents were to see if we finally get KC at home and nope we got KC on the road again next year lol

    It’s not hard to see the Bills schedule for the next 10 years. Google future NFL schedules and you can see 14 of the 17 teams they will play each year. The other 3 are determined by last years record. There is no Goodell conspiracy 😱

    Bills complained a lot to NFL about multiple schedule changes for Titans game and I think they threw Bills a bone with large gap before we face them again.

    👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

    The pick wasn’t what I expected.  I was furious when I heard it announced. After some research and film time, I see why they drafted him.  I think he can specialize in two aspects, blitzing and coverage.  Maybe a reach, but we didn’t have a 4th.  I see it like we took Shakir rd 3 and Bernard rd 5.  Solid value for both.  I think he’s going to contribute….as long as he’s healthy.  That’s the one thing that gets me about the pick.  Injuries have been an issue. 

    I agree after the emotions came back down and looking at this pick, it is a solid one. He can play AJ Klein’s spot in base. He can replace Edmonds on third and long plays. And he’s insurance if/when Milano gets injured. And should be a solid player on 4th downs. He is the Buffalo 🦬 nickel I’ve wanted for years too.

    • Agree 1
  13. I see a pretty big role for Bernard. I think he
    can be the third LB in base. V/I think he can
    replace Edmonds in dime situations playing
    LB with Milano with 4DL & 5 DB's. V And
    he will be on the field most of the time on
    4th down. V I actually like the pick. He's
    also that Buffalo * Nickel many have
    wanted to match up with TE's. Too many
    thought he was a Edmonds replacement.
    He's far from that. He will be in Kelce's hip
    pocket next year.
