I 100% think that the Bills should give him a look. I get that he probably isn't what he used to be, but he used to be the best back in the league so some regression is to be expected. He showed up in tremendous shape this year and honestly I thought that he handled things pretty okay during his brief time there considering that his total clown of a coach talked about not wanting him almost immediately, didn't use him well at all, then put him back on the field when he was hurt. Green Bay has been utilizing three backs on the field at the same time while they have had injury concerns and it has really created matchup problems for defenses. Even though is isn't the player he used to be, he could still be an excellent player if used properly. We aren't going to pick up a defensive playmaker equivalent to Bell anytime soon so if we could add a piece to the offense that can help sustain drives and keep the defense off the field, that's a win.

One call...er, non call...that started things getting away from us was on the long punt return. A blocker - right next to the returner - had a handful of jersey for a not insignificant amount of time .

I think a previous comment mentioned this, but it also always seems like the blitzing is just random guys sprinting straight at the line and just going nowhere at all. If we lack pure pass rushing talent (pretty clear that we do) then it really seems like we should be a bit more creative.

I'm almost positive that pump jobs are currently against the cover protocol.

That's not a remotely hot take, that's a completely accurate take.

I still can't get over that he's in the hall of fame now. Joe Buck seems like a really good guy and he was hilarious/self deprecating in Brockmire but good lord is he awful doing NFL games. I'd suggest playing a drinking game for every time he says "pass is - caught" but I'd be dead 5 minutes into the game.

I actually just rewatched that the other day! Absolutely epic takedown of Whaley.

I think I'd be okay with 10 but if it went up to 12, 14 etc. then I think that's too much. I just meant that some team will definitely pay him that, even if it isn't the Bills.

If a team is willing to give Blake Martinez over 10 million then there is definitely a team that would give that to Milano.

If they don't resign him its general cap reasons. His most major injury was a broken bone and that's not a predictable sort of injury. I could be wrong but his injury history doesn't really seem to be problematic but this is definitely a poorly timed injury.

Serious question - why exactly do you watch sports because if you're not just a troll I don't understand why you'd do it since according to you they are just millionaire coddled babies.

Yes because being taller should totally make him a superior tackler. Who are you to presume the severity of his injury or to doubt the coaching and medical staffs on this team? Playing through an injury can hurt the team and - shocker - cause him to be more severely injured.

Oh and I forgot to mention the Bobby Wagner comparison...god forbid both of our linebackers aren't BOTH as good as the best or second best linebacker in the past ten years. Total bums, get em outta here! Gotta love armchair warriors who think that a player is mailing it in because of an injury. You are an absolute moron.

You seem like a lot of fun. Cut bait? So what...literally just cut them?

I think if he's healthy and went to a team with a serious QB he would put up the same numbers as his 1st three years. As much as anything, I cannot understand how the Browns aren't a beastly offensive team. It really makes me appreciate the coaching continuity that we've had and will likely have for a while if only because of how that avoids regression for JA. I think Baker is one more wasted season from being as shot as Darnold looks right now and honestly I think - for the league and as an NFL fan - that's unfortunate. Obviously I want the Bills to succeed but I also want to watch good football and it's stunning how bad coaching seems to be.

He very well may have but he had a hernia all last year too. Who knows but when I read that Sammy was somehow in a way better (not your comment) I almost fell over.

The Odell hate in this thread is insane. Only makes crazy catches...had one good year...Smoke is a more effective player, and even that Sammy somehow ended up being "better" because he learned something. Are you freaking kidding me? Beckham is a hyper competitive player and as BillsFan said, an awful lot of what he did/said was pretty much the same as Diggs. The guy played pretty much all of last year hurt and had one of the greatest starts to his career with Eli freaking Manning throwing to him. If you don't like him that's fine but to say "meh he sucks" is objectively stupid.

This x100. I think I'm finally over my Leodis caused PTSD and feel confident watching kick returns

The missed throws stand out because they were points on the board but what stood out to me was the (mostly) absence of errant throws that wouldn't make the highlight reel. Not only didn't he airmail passes, he put a lot of them in spots that only the receiver could catch it. Look no further than the other team for examples of what I mean...Darnold was missing guys pretty badly and making throws that year one/two Josh did much more often. The other thing that I loved but isn't really new is how easily Josh can make a would be pass rusher miss. He's always been elusive but yesterday there were several plays where a defender was pretty much right there, Josh makes a quick little move and the defender barely touches him.

They quite literally and unironically use the term/hashtag "Cult45"

But not sad when one who is both is elected president?

As soon as this one happened (regardless of it being preseason), I figured that the rule would be dead - https://www.cbssports.com/nfl/news/nfl-explains-controversial-pass-interference-review-call-that-ruled-against-redskins-in-preseason-week-2/

Pats fan or not, I freaking love Katie Nolan.

I've always felt bad for Troup about the whole one pick before Gronk thing and think it's incredibly unfair that anyone calls him a bust. Guys like Troup are why I'm always okay with players doing whatever they can to get paid. Always play or two away from it all being over.
