The NFL perhaps more than any other sport is a matchup league. Not only scheme wise, but also WHEN you play a team. The Bengals are a good example. Often struggle early and then hit a groove where they are the hottest team in the league. They are in that streak right now. And as much as people will disagree because of the narrative around them...Denver is in a streak of playing better football the last 3 weeks as well. The defense is figuring things out. They aren't going to be the same easy win team that Miami faced early in the season.

I like PFF as a tool to see if the the grades match the eye test. Not normally as a stand alone measurements. That said...he already knows to look for the ball when playing Tua.

I'm 100% convinced 70% of the people here just read box scores.

Agreed. Has experience in zone. Long arms and 6'2".

Solid move. What's the compensation?

Here's my thought. They have 2 high 1sts next year. Pass Rush is a HUGE need for them. This lets them bring in Sweat early. Get into the system. Not have to spend those 1sts on a pass rusher. They have a TON of cap space right now and can easily sign him to a deal before the end of the season. I'm betting they had permission to chat with his agent before making the trade and it's already in the works. As long as they get the extension done it's not a bad move. Sweat is proven to be good. A draft pick may not. Also, day isn't done. They may still move Johnson and get some picks back.

Their GM handed out 2 sizable contracts to LBers last off season but won't pony up enough dough to make a young blue chip player at a pretty important position happy. That's...a plan.

Who knows. But I think I'd rather keep that 2nd rounder as well. Especially with Buffalo possibly being in on a DT that wouldn't cost picks.

Would have liked him, just not at that price.

Hearing Fournette is in the building today. Not joking.

Yeah, well they cut me off before I could suggest they bring back Brian Brohm. He never got the chance he deserved. They bring Brohm back and Allen is on borrowed time...

I think the Bills stand a good chance of stacking wins and keeping even with the Chiefs and Dolphins. It's the Jaguars who have a gave over us AND the head to head Im more concerned with as we need help to get seeded above them.

We play the Chiefs. We still have a game against the Dolphins. Doesn't matter who wins this game as long as the Bills handle their business.

We have 2 of the top football teams over the last 3 years meeting for an important mid season game. And a huge bulk of the coverage will be about someone that likely won't even be on the field. I don't like that the questions all week for the team will likely center around the Hamlin incident and put them back into that mode. This was for many of them one of the toughest moments of their life. It's really time to move on. It's also unfair to Damar. The kid is forever going to be known for this. Let him get on with his life.

I wonder which thread this one will be merged with.🤔🤔

In the rain, down a good chunk of you OL, down to QB3 and already showing you weren't going to throw. Against a really good front 7. Not the time to take that chance. That's exactly what you pay a kicker like Gano for. You try for the points and end the game. If you miss you depend on your defense that had been playing lights out up to the last 50 seconds of the game. FG was the right choice.

Here's the way I see it. It better rise up. And I don't want to hear about injuries either. For the most part I have been a pretty steady supporter of McDermott as a coach. I don't always like what he does but I see the logic behind it most times. However he is a HC (now DC as well) with an extensive background on the defensive side of the ball. He really should be able to scheme up a gameplan to work around the talent he's missing. DCs do this on a weekly basis. Just take a look at the team we are playing this week. Cincinnati has never had the most talent on defense...but they have a DC that can work around it. Take a look at when the Patriots and Bills just played. They were down Judon, down Uche and STILL managed a pass rush. They have had patchwork DB play and were missing their excellent rookie CB...still did well in coverage. This stretch right here is "put up or shut up" time for McDermott. No Leslie Frazier calling the plays. He's got to come up with something that works. Time to see what Sean can bring to the table as a defensive mind. I have faith he'll have something good on tap.

Per game:Jimmy G Total amount I believe there's a tie between Josh, Mahomes, Dak and a couple others

Oh the irony there. I do hope it's nothing serious, though.

That's twice a refs early whistle cost the Bears. Eberflus should be going absolutely nuts on the zebras

A flea flicker TE screen? Weird

3-1. I have us winning the 2 home games barring any weird rash of injury or illness. And I think Philadelphia will give us some issues. I actually feel somewhat confident heading into Cincinnati this week. I know logic should say I shouldn't...but I think Buffalo has been eager for this rematch.

If Denver holds on does the win get an asterisk because Mahomes was sick?

I would almost guarantee the Purdy narrative this week will center around people saying he was rushed back through concussion protocol too soon and still had lingering issues from it
