  1. 7 receivers are not making the roster, with injuries that is possible obviously. I think Kincaid and Hollins are underestimated. Claypool, Cook and Davis are high
  2. Do bears poop in the woods?
  3. Which were terrible decisions by Dorsey
  4. We often get all excited about guys this time of year who never do much of anything. Anyway, the organization creating a pipeline of players is a good thing, it has been a trend. If they truly like all 4 and they can all play it is an opportunity to trade one potentially.
  5. Hamler as second team slot and starting KR/PR is interesting. Mike Edwards listed as third team....one word, availability. Coaches put these together partly to send messages, I would not get too wrapped up in analyzing ever gory detail.
  6. Dorsey got fired, the Bills did better.....but I think he gets way over blamed...he was the fall guy when the defensive or teams staff did not know how to get 11 guys on the field. The Bills clearly tried to get Josh to run less and after Dorsey was fired, the season in peril, the training wheels came off, Brady had Josh the runner at his disposal.
  7. I don't hear anything good about him and he is on a minimum deal with a $15k dead cap, I don't see a path for him without injuries.
  8. If Haslem pays it great for him, as a taxpayer funded thing, no way it pays itself back for the roof. Concerts don't generate that much revenue for the local enconomy....pretty sure most of it goes to the promoter/artist. the SB in las Vegas generated 700Million in local revenues, one time....that would be less in a city like Cleveland. In theory Buffalo has no chance of hosting a SB unless someone decided to build a bunch of hotels that would not be needed after. I am sure people think that would be a good way to spend an increase in sales tax in the area.
  9. If you have 53 man active and 2 on your IR you can activate how many do you have total to work with? Technically you are right in that there is a 53 man roster but you can have more than that with guys on various lists that also count vs your cap.
  10. Its true In plain words, the new rule allows teams the ability to place two players on injured reserve at the roster cutdown deadline to return during the season. That has not been the case in the past with the NFL; if a player went on injured reserve before the active 53-man roster is set, he was out for the season
  11. Well the "53 man roster" is a misnomer of sorts. Literally every year the Bills and many teams cut to 53, put a guy on IR and sign a guy the next day back to the 53....the Bills cut their long snapper Reid Ferguson routinely with a wink/nod he will be back tomorrow. Also this year I believe you can put two guys on IR before cuts and still cut to 53 man active roster so their is easily a path to 55-56 guys "making it". And those two guys can come off IR later which is new. The downside of this is all their salaries count towards the cap.
  12. My 57 man roster...57 men account for IR and the traditional cut down day "roster move"....probably have to cut 1 or 2 from this list. Offense (25) QB (2) - Allen, Trubisky RB (3) - Cook, Davis, Johnson FB (1) - Gilliam TE (3) - Kincaid, Knox, Morris over Davidson for special teams WR (6) - Coleman, Shakir, Samuel, Hollins, Shavers, MVS OL - Starters (5) - Brown, Dawkins, McGovern, Torrence & Edwards OL - Depth (5) - Van Denmark, Anderson, SVP, Grable, Collins Defense (28) DT (5) - Oliver, D Jones, A Johnson, D Williams, Carter DE (6) - Miller, Rousseau, Epenesa, Smoot, Jonathan, Salomon LB (7) - Milano, Bernard, Williams, Morrow, Ulofoshio, Jones, Spector CB (5) - T Johnson, Douglas, Benford, Elam, Lewis S (5) - Rapp, Hamlin, Bishop, Edwards , Jackson Specialists (4) - Ferguson (LS), Bass (PK), Martin (P) & Hardy (KR) - camp battle (1) - Isabella & Hamler (For the KR job)
  13. Fans gotta fanatical.............
  14. Keep paying those fancy positions...........
  15. Really, do you pay attention to the rest of the league?
  16. That play was just awesome. He understands the moment. Only If the defense could do that once in a while….
  17. Yes and no. The dolphons only win was a game dominated statistically by the bills. The bills sometimes blow them out and sometimes win close games. Chiefs games are always close with both sides winning about half. U fortunately the chiefs win the playoff games.
  18. I think we see it the same way. If they keep 5 then it is MVS vs Shavers at this point IMO and while Shavers can play teams, MVS has a guaranteed contract so it actually costs more on the cap to waive MVS and keep Shavers.....essentially you have to pay both in that scenario Claypool, Shorter, Hamler and Isabella are cut at this point....Hamler maybe has an outside shot if he returns kicks or there is an injury. If they keep 6 then it is probably Shavers and MVS but MVS will likely start out inactive until injuries occur or not.
  19. That is strong also I think we put too much emphasis on each training camp day and report, LOL. However it sounds like Shavers is getting enough work with the ones that it is plausible he makes it. That would leave MVS as expendable, but the contract is guaranteed, at this point he is a potential trade candidate like OJ Howard or he stays on the team an provides depth. I think Shavers brings more to the table for special teams vs MVS.
  20. Not sure if this is serious.....but if it is you are kind of ridiculous. You can find an issue with anyone who plays QB if you want to make a case (nit pick one play) they are the reason a game was lost. But if you actually look at the overall performance of Josh Allen in pressure games and think Josh is the problem then you are not really all that knowledgeable in football. You could look at the defense who has elite performance over the last 5 years but routinely collapses when the chips are down but nah lets blame Josh Allen. Right, people talk about how the Bills have all these losses and ignore the Dolphins lost more important pieces who are young and in their prime.
  21. Not sure about that. Many did not want a dish…probably more available to more people now.
  22. I don’t think the cap is just accounting. According to bill polian the cap does not forgive and the cap does not forget. You can spend more money for a while u til eventually you have to make tough choices.
  23. The cap is just accounting. Or at least many here think it is not real because you can manipulate it for a while. Eventually it comes calling.
  24. Guy has made 7.4 million in the nfl….nice to be a terrible nfl qb!
  25. But let it sink in first! LOL
