Imagine having Justin Herbert, Joey Bosa, Derwin James, Austin Ekeler, Mike Williams and Keenan Allen and missing the playoffs.

It's the Charger way. That franchise has been STACKED for 15 years....always find new ways to miss playoffs or fecalate the bed if they make it.

If they fix the O line and get the kid a few weapons he could be a viable starter.

 

They have Kroft starting at TE...did they not watch any film of the Bills for the last 3 years  

 

He must have played well against the Jets... not that I noticed though

I agree. Unless of course they do things they "Jet Way" and miss on their 2 high draft picks and throw ridiculous money at big name free agents that don't pan out. 

 

Zach "Stacy" Wilson may end up ok, or he could end up a broken toy. Knowing the Jets...I have a feeling which way it will go.

Looking like a tough road...Pats, Chiefs, Titans.

I like it.

 

Beat the franchise that dominated us for 20 years, beat the team that knocked us out of the playoffs last year and beat the team that we have lost to the last 2 years (and the whole Music City Miracle thing)...the 2021 Bills could be the Avengers for a lot of emotional damage our fan base has suffered.

 

And then possibly smack Tommy Boy in the Super Bowl. Cherry on top.

Wow. That kind of sucks. Much as an Allen-Herbert shootout would be great entertainment, I really don't like that matchup.

Nah, the Chargers are built for a dome.

He threw for 15 TD's and 13 INT. He is not good. The league figured him out. It was inevitable.

 

There's been something odd happening with Lamar since the preseason. Harbaugh forbid the media or anyone else from filming Lamar throwing passes in camp. He's missed a TON of practice (and even 1 actual game) this year to "illness-nonCOVID". A few missed practices for "personal reasons". Not sure if there is an illness or legit injury they were keeping hidden until the "ankle injury" he has now.

It's Monday morning down here, and I just got to work.

Now, the big question is... do I follow the game online, or do I wait until I get home to tonight to watch it?

 

Let's go Buffalo!!

Both

Shaq was completely ineffective as a pass rusher but he was good at setting the edge, and considering we're going to have to go up against Taylor/Harris/possibly Henry in the playoffs and Fournette/Jones in the superbowl that might not be a bad skill to have.  

He actually rushed the passer extremely well as a DT on pass rush downs in his 3rd and 4th season. Got excellent penetration and a few sacks out of him that way.

Should be suspended for all of next year for that trash

They are doing worse. Rumor has it he may have to play 17 games for the Falcons next year.

[Interesting way to describe Josh Allen - High floor - High Ceiling]

The article does say it's based solely off 2021 games. Based off that and the way Allen has played up and down from week to week (yes, in part due to weather. Also in part to teams playing him different early in the season...much like Mahomes) I think 7 is a fair slot.

46 receptions 538 yards and 9 TD's.  Noticeable uptick for him, particularly in TD's but I am not sure I would call him a breakout star.

Factor in he did that in a few less games due to the broken hand and I'd say he broke out quite nicely.

Is this like the Gettleman "retire or fired" scenario that many speculate happened?

[Jerry Hughes’ Last Regular Season Home Game?]

Jerry had a great career here. Sadly, I do believe it's time to part ways. Glad the was here to experience a bit of team success. Wish Kyle Williams would have been around and extra couple years to be a part of it.

[Holy comp picks coming our way!]

Hughes, Addison, Sanders, Trubisky, Butler, Boettger, Wallace, Jones, Obada, Breida, Phillips, Zimmer, McKenzie, Neil are all UFA.  With our cap constraints, I can't imagine us making any big signings.  IMO we must extend Harrison and Levi, and maybe Siran.  I know the NFL comp awards system always screws Bills, just like the refs.  But everyone of those players will sign somewhere IMO.  Put that in your pipe NFL comp man- we will be awarded several comp picks, it's inevitable

A lot more goes into it than just players lost. Another team has to sign them to a pretty large contract. Also, I believe it factors in what contracts we gave out to FA as well. Out of all of those I see some being back, some signed to average contracts. MAYBE Trubisky gets a deal from a desperate GM needing a QB miracle.

I can't imagine as he has only 1 SB victory .. but he does not seem to care what others think

 

https://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2022/01/07/boomer-esiason-has-a-source-who-says-aaron-rodgers-will-threaten-super-bowl-boycott/

 

If so a) it would be wild; b) he would be vilified .. and rightfully so; c) what a great advantage for Buffalo to win the game . Boomer stated he is confident in his source

I highly, highly, highly doubt he would skip the game. He's too self centered to not play.

 

I do however expect that if the Packers make it that he will use the opportunity to garner as much camera time making it all about how he's risen up from a season long of being persecuted for his stances and diverting any and all attention from the actual game.

[Bill O’Brien interviewing for Jags HC]

I kinda hope they hire him. Maybe he'll trade us "Other" Josh Allen or Myles Jack for basically nothing 

[Panthers Willing to Listen to Offers for McCaffrey]

If we traded for CMC and Barkley maybe we could make 1 Franken RB that can stay healthy. Or play 1 and use the other for spare parts? Not sure which is better. In Beane we Trust.

[Falcons DC Dean Pees calls young NFL coaches “entitled” and “spoiled”]

Spot on about analytics. They can be a helpful tool to incorporate, for sure. 

 

But they cannot factor in specific events in what is happening to a team currently in the field. Way too many variables to be relied on 100%. A computer can't look a guy in the eye and say "He wants this more than normal. I trust him".
