Victory Formation

And don’t think that other teams wouldn’t do this to Josh.

I hate to say this, I really do.. but penalty or not, whether this gets a flag 10/10 or not, whether what Smith did was illegal or not, if the Bills defense takes shots like this at the right time, it is an effective way to play defense. I agree that you can’t do this too often and I agree that in certain situations this isn’t the smart play, but tell me how many shots can Fields can take like this without seeing ghosts? If we can get a couple shots on Wilson, Tua and Mac Jones like this, wouldn’t you say it’s worth it? I think you have to weigh the penalties against the possible momentum shift of the game. I am against going after peoples knees and that sort of thing, that’s absolute bullcrap, but a few hits like the one Andre landed on Fields can win you football games.

Okay, here we are a week later. I’m convinced that he should make the team.

I was a big fan of his coming out of college. Did he become the QB that I expected him to be? No, but I do think he can be a starter in the NFL. I do think he would dominate in New England, especially with the TEs that they have. This offense is perfect him. The Erhardt Perkins offense is tailor made for Trubisky. I can’t believe New England didn’t sign him. Did they seriously go with Cam Newton over Trubisky? Unbelievable.

It was a clean hit, it looked dirty because of how outmatched Fields was. If Chicago doesn’t get their ***** together this kid is going to get hurt.

Webb is cerebral. He organizes practices for the team during the offseason before training camp and all that stuff to the point where it’s almost like he’s a coach. Maybe he’s not the most gifted guy, but he’s a leader and he works hard. Rosen has no integrity and quite frankly he sucks.

If both Allen and Trubisky go down we might as well tank for higher draft picks anyways.

Hahaha, to the IR he goes! You’ll probably see him walking out to his car in the parking lot with nothing wrong with him. 😆

Better than nothing I say. See that hit Fields took? That’s the value in players like Lee Smith. Their job is to get defenders dirty.

Honestly dude, I know you’re joking but for veteran minimum, it actually wouldn’t be a bad idea, jokes aside.

I think we’re good with Knox, Hollister, Gilliam and Sweeney, but if one of these guys get hurt, we need a headhunter/blocking TE to round out the unit. It’s dirty work but it must be done.

I think Knox and Hollister are very decent. Are they exceptional? No. Are they acceptable? Yes. Gilliam is a bruiser, but is mainly a FB. I like Sweeney, at the least as a blocking TE who may make a few grabs. Ultimately I think the Bills will sift through the waiver wire for more depth at TE. 7 WRs may benefit us in the open field, but in goal line and short yardage situations the lack of depth at TE will kill us. No more QB sweeps with Josh, no more RPO, no more power run, dive plays, HB toss plays etc. Where it matters the most we’re literally screwed.

TEs are optimal for blocking though. Imagine if we only have two TEs and one goes down, this severely hampers our red zone packages. We can’t run the option anymore, QB sweep, dive plays etc.

That’s always good! 😆👍

Well, I think the Bills may add someone after roster cuts, but I could be wrong though.

A new stadium marries the Bills to Buffalo for the next 30 years. All the rumors about the Bills moving will go away.

This offense is perfect for him, it really is.

Boogie and Rousseau each have a sack a piece! 🤩

I am so relieved that we missed out on JJ Watt. Thank God the draft fell as it did. Bills look deep on DL, not only on DL but especially at DE, which is one of the hardest positions to fill. We’re locked and loaded.

I think Boogie, Rousseau and Epenesa will be on the Bills for a looooong time.

Probably not. I don’t think we will need to put up too many points because our defense is too good. We will probably win 75% of our games if we put up 25-26ppg. 30ppg and we probably go to the Super Bowl.

This is the side of football I don’t like.

14-3

It wouldn’t surprise me. I’ve been saying it for months now. CB is obviously our weakest unit. Tre is a superstar and Levi is a solid starter but there is little to no depth behind them. Is Siran Neal more than just a big nickel? Would McCloud or Jackson be able to float sink or swim time? Ultimately I do think Buffalo will add another corner, likely as other teams start trimming their rosters. There could be salary cap casualties, other teams may be deeper at corner than we are and one shakes free and I wouldn’t rule out a trade either. In the end, CB/DB/secondary is Coach McDermott’s forte. I would consider it folly to think that he isn’t aware of what he has there. A lot of our guys may not be household names, but he is aware of what he has there and I doubt he would overlook that area once again. I could also see another TE added or perhaps even a WR as well. We do have some quality at WR but if a really solid vet shakes free, it wouldn’t surprise me at all to see someone added in that event. Every year solid players become available via roster trim downs. So ultimately, in the end, I think McD/Beane will have to play the board and see who becomes available, but no, I do not think we’re done yet, not even close.

Andre Smith looks like he could be a gem, but it’s too early to comment further on that. He had a great game, no doubt but it’s just one game. Matakevich looked awesome as well. Once again, it’s early.. but I think we got great depth at LB.
