I was thinking that Vikings second rounder was going to be high, now its virtually a third rounder. Never thought Darnold would have been as solid as he has been.

Is there any guarantees for next year? This could just be a way to have the guy on the roster all offseason and camp. Morrow

Guys on the OL like VPG, Grable and Vandemark all have good hype around them. I could include Anderson too, will be interesting to see how they play. And of course Andreesen.

Allen....

Opinion noted

The alternative was not getting cut. He knew he was getting suspended so they made a deal where the bills resuced his salary which saved his loss during the suspension. Essentially they split those savings. He has 5 sacks in 12 games and he gets what 25% of snaps. He is no saint but he is worthy of getting play time in the post season. Why the anger? Do you realize the cap ramifications if they were to just cut him now?

That is a topic for the offseason dude......

This was my thought too...forget about the contract, the situation is that it is not good for him to play this week yet the team agreed to this incentive, I could see them agreeing to something but I think it would have to go on this years cap while the incentive will count for next year since it was not likely to be earned.

He took a reduction but with the chance to earn it back with incentives.

It's just like when a player gets waived who was once a relevant fantasy player, fans immediately need to sign the guy or "kick the tires". Nevermind he has done jack for the last 3 years and is 32 years old and has a bad attitude.

He isn't even a "5th alternate", LOL

The game being a joke is fine by me, I dont need a game at all. However they really should fix the voting so it more accurately makes the two best 53 man rosters based on play that year. Have a separate vote for the fans....the players have the top 100 thing. This should be done systematically with people expected to look at it objectively not a popularity thing. There will always be debates but it has been terrible for a long time.

The post you quoted had two separate topics that the aggregator put in one post but you can see what was being responded to by looking at what was quoted for each topic.

Are you confusing what he is predicting with what he thinks is correct?

I counted 7 Bills on that image....anyway I wish they would change how it is done because they don't get the best players and it has been that way a long time. Everyone says it is a joke yet we talk about it every year. Cook could be on there but there are like 15 guys with 10 plus rushing TD's and 17 ahead of him in yards. He shares with the other two some and that hurts him. Benford should be on there but you will never hear his name. HUH?

The pro scouts get a more accurate answer. He ran a 4.59 at his pro day. What some random coach measures in a random high school is not the same. Lots of guys are taller til they get to the combine too. Unless he had an injury or something in which case his agent did him a great disservice.

The discussion is about shavers on the 53 as an “X factor” not Who to play this week.

Ok he’s super fast, except he’s not. Angles and blocking can make a play look a certain way. I know you will keep pounding that square peg so no need to respond. Let’s just disagree. Except that is not going to happen. You have 53 plus 2 from the practice squad to play the whole game. This is not a preseason game with a ninety man roster. Some starters will play and many key backups will play a lot. Even if you call up clapp. One injury and what do you do put gore at OT?

Bernard played 17 of 17 games last year but missed the KC playoff game. This year he is 13 of 17 since he will miss this week. Assuming this is minor I think people are over reaction just a tad. Sometimes the timing of injuries make them more impactful and that is just dumb luck.

Pretty sure that is how the NFL would prefer it too with the Pats wanting to lose and the Bills treating it like a preseason game.

looks can be deceiving

Who do you waive? That is great that he works hard but no way you let one of Shakir, Hollins, Cooper, Coleman or Samuel go. Not sure about Samuel to be honest...if his turf toe is lingering you could IR him I guess. Anyway, Shavers does not have speed, he ran a 4.59 forty and he is not an X factor. He made a good play in the fourth quarter against a defense that quit, lets not blow it out of proportion.

Not sure if you are serious but I dont see that happening since they have not called him up during the final three to get some reps. Seems like he is there for leadership and coaching. And if Trubisky goes down you play Gore at QB? I see Mike White as one of the two callups. and see either Torrence or Edwards playing a big chunk.

Gore to take a lot of carries. I want all three backs to be available for the playoffs. And then Mike white. You only get two. The typical inactive guys will be active. They only have 9 OL so at least one starter will have to play the whole game unless they use a call up there. Same is true on the DL...you will see the rotation guys still, just a different percentage of time.

I live in New England....my wife does not get NFL seedings, who makes the playoffs and how....that morning, I was telling her the Bills could make the playoffs. The Bills win but Cinci went from up like 24-3 to down and seemingly helpless so they cut to the Cinci game. Watching it in my living room, kids are too young to know much of anything. I am pretty down and quiet because I felt like the inevitable was going to happen. She asked me did they make the playoffs? I answered with no probably not or something.....that play happens, I explode just like that room, she is looking at me with the most confused look on her face and I know what she is thinking....she is like the Bills are not on the TV, it was so weird trying to explain...anyway great memory.
