Bears CB Jaylon Johnson Requests to be Traded
Straight Hucklebuck replied to ExiledInIllinois's topic in The Stadium Wall
Bills have $4.9M in cap space. There was talk of extending DaQuan Jones in the summer to open more cap space, but how many other levers do they have to pull? Rework Micah Hyde? -
Yeah it makes no sense to me what the Bears are doing here. If the price was a 4th or 5th maybe, but a 2nd? Which is going to be #32-#35, not sure that how it helps the current team.

Well one thing I think we can all agree on: at this pace there is no way Adams finishes his career in Vegas. They're out there trying to compete in 2023 with Jimmy Garoppolo and Josh McDaniels. In this AFC? In that AFC West? They’re on their way to 6-11, McDaniels being fired now or one season later and Adams wanting out of there anyways.

Week 9 thread - We’re on to Cincinnati
Straight Hucklebuck replied to BillsFan619's topic in The Stadium Wall
I thought the Bills got pressure on Mayfield in large part because he holds the ball forever. -
Week 9 thread - We’re on to Cincinnati
Straight Hucklebuck replied to BillsFan619's topic in The Stadium Wall
And it's not like Duke Tobin has been an all-world drafter. Cincinnati has gone in runs, the mid-2000's with Palmer, Chris Henry, Chad Johnson, T. J. Houshmandzadeh, Rudi Johnson - a tear down and build back with Dalton, AJ Green, Marvin Jones, Mohammed Sanu and their all 1st Round secondary - Pac Man, Terrence Newman, Reggie Nelson, Leon Hall, William Jackson in the mid-2010's. And now they've stacked a few good drafts in a row together. -
Week 9 thread - We’re on to Cincinnati

You look at the depth chart on that Cincinnati defense. That's primarily what the 2023 Draft was for them - 2 deep at every position now. They are a defensive team that has one elite QB to WR pairing. Against the Bills last year they were able to run at will as well. -
Trade deadline needs what are your priorities
Straight Hucklebuck replied to Xwnyer's topic in The Stadium Wall
They need DT and another LB with the ability to start. Another low-end depth WR is not going to help us. We can't figure out how to use Harty and he's had an entire offseason and 8 games with the team, and it just became apparent to Dorsey and staff now that Khalil Shakir should get more time. -
With how dynamic Harty looked on punt returns, and his prior usage at 2 catches per game (think Dolphins and Patriots flat routes for 10-yards), I do think getting the ball into his hands a couple of times would be smart.

Week 9 thread - We’re on to Cincinnati

What is the plan against Chase? -
Hand Cincinnati another loss as quickly as possible. That drops them to 3-4. They have the Bills. Then Texans. Then Ravens, Steelers, Jags. They also have the Chiefs later in the year, and of course Browns again. So hope that division takes a toll on them and ruins their conference record. So take actual L on their resume over how their feelings.

And I’m saying this is par for the course with the Bills. Whatever form the luck comes in, we find ourselves in these nail bitters all the time. And what was so outlandish about it? We couldn’t close out the Vikings last year with the 4th-22 to Jefferson or the fumble on the QB snap for a TD, or Allen slipping and falling on a QB sneak, the Hail Murray, or pass interference penalties in the end zone, or not being able to get off the field on 3rd and mile, we’ve seen this all before. The sideline routes as mentioned. The Bills have left the door open in many ways over the past few seasons and have put themselves into position to lose.

You’ve watched a Jets team with Zach Wilson beat the 100% healthy Bills by chipping away all game. You’ve watched the 1-5 Giants come within 1-yard from winning. You saw a 1-5 Patriots team drive the length of the field in 1:20 for the GW drive. You see a 3-3 Bucs team have a Hail Mary land inside the end zone with a chance to walk off on the last play of the game. And the conclusion is that will never happen again?
-
We've seen this a lot. The coverage gets loose, we trade yards for time, and we just don't make the plays to seal it - the Giants game the coaches trusted Josh, they made a good call, and Josh to Knox doesn't work and it's a scramble drill the rest of that game. This game, we pick up one first down, get them to burn all the timeouts, but were ok with giving them the ball back and small miss on the punt and it goes into the endzone instead of being downed inside the 5 again.

Bills fans cheering for the Pats on Sunday?
Straight Hucklebuck replied to PatsFanNH's topic in The Stadium Wall
Absolutely. Need the Patriots to win, would love to see the 49ers win, I want to see Pittsburgh hand the Jags a loss, the Seahawks to beat the Browns, the Broncos to beat the Chi...ah who are we kidding that's not going to happen. But yes, go Patriots. -
The Good, The Bad, The Ugly TNF Bucs edition
Straight Hucklebuck replied to Chaos's topic in The Stadium Wall
The Good - Shakir showed the Bills in the Ravens game last year when they trusted him for two critical catches in the 4th quarter that he can play in this league, and it wasn't until the last two games in 2023 that they decided to use him. You're not taking him off the field now. This is why I had no interest in Renfrow. Develop the guy who ran a 4.43 - All the things that the stupid fans who don't know anything said - up tempo, an Allen designed run 😱, spread formations, not worrying about how well you run the ball, 3 WRs on the field, Allen actually smiling again. The Bad - The mentality of this Head Coach - when you see Deonte Harty that shifty on punt returns, to think putting him on offense would be too much of a burden. To see the 1 catch he got in the Patriots game where he makes 3 people miss, and he doesn't get any snaps on offense? Why can't they get this guy the ball 2-3 times a game? If it's that freaking hard, line him up in the backfield and pitch it to him. Just like Hines, $4M and we can't figure out how to do anything with him other than relegate him to McDermott's Special Team unit, and he'll never escape that role. - The Bills pass rush is lucky that Baker Mayfield holds the ball forever. Good quarterbacks aren't going to do that. The Ugly - Bad offensive habits crept back in. On first watch I felt the tempo started to wane after the first half, we ran more trips and stacks and the spacing got tighter and tighter. The spread went away. Shotgun run from the 6" line (still haven't learned our lesson from an earlier game this year)? James Cook on shotgun handoff in the red zone that lost yards (Allen bailed them out the next play). Wimpy Jauron tactics of trying to draw the defense Offside multiple times. - They were Godwin tracking the ball 2-feet better away from choking that game. The media is treating this as a party, everything is fixed. For all the good that was accomplished, all it was - the opposite of the Jags, Giants and Patriots, this time scored early and held on and escaped. -
The Official Fire Ken Dorsey Thread
Straight Hucklebuck replied to VaMilBill's topic in The Stadium Wall
I hope Harty is not doomed to the Nyheim Hines role. He wasn't on offense all night. -
It was a win that he was out there late in the 4th.
