If we wound up with something like: Dawkins-Teller- Nick Easton-AJ Cann-Daryl Williams I don't think it is unrealistic and I like the ages of these guys. Easton and Williams are coming off injury so may be cheaper and I like Cann as a RG. I do think Williams will still be the most exp nsive of the bunch.

The free agent market on centers has a couple of interesting names. Mitch Morse - I think he is the guy with the highest ceiling. 6-6, 305 has been very good for Kansas City. His problem has been injuries. He missed a few games last year and has been out his year as well. Started 42 games. He will 27 next year. Matt Paradis - I think he goes back to Denver, but is a very interesting guy as well. 6-3, 300 and going to turn thirty next year. He's been very durable starting 57 games until he broke his leg this year. He is going to require an overpay. Nick Easton - I think this is the guy we wind up with. A Harvard graduate who can play guard or center. He started his career in camp with the Baltimore Ravens with Juan Castillo as his line coach. He's been traded a couple of times as well. He was an undrafted free agent who played so well for the Ravens in the preseason that they were able to turn him into a seventh round pick in a trade with the miners. 6-3, 307, will be 27 next year. He's on IR because of a bulging disc in his neck. He's only started 17 games in his career so far. Basically that is it. I think Easton makes sense because he is versatile and smart and he should not be super expensive to sign. He also has a history with Castillo. Ryan Khalil is still a very good player, but I don't love the idea of a 35 year old center. I like a guy in that 27-28 range to grow with the rest of the guys.

Perfectly stated! Im not against this idea. It gives you a longer look at Barkley...maybe he gets re-signed to be the backup next year. As long as Allen is guaranteed the last four games, I don't care what happens.

You start Allen 100%. But because we are the Bills, you guys know what is going to happen right? Allen will play like ? ? ? and everyone will be calling for Barkley again and now you have a quarterback controversy. What I saw from Barkley was some of the most efficient quarterbacking I have seen from a Bills quarterback in years (though Allen's game vs the Vikes was pretty ridiculous). So I think people on the Barkley side are saying, maybe we ride it out for a couple of games and see what we have with Matt. If he keeps winning, stay with him, and if he gets killed against the Jags, you turn back to Allen. I see the arguments on both sides.

He looks like he just crop dusted the entire room. And feels good about it. ?

The Jets should fire Todd Bowles and hire that hot blonde chick who was walking behind him all game.

There is a lesson in there though. All year it looked like Daboll was trying to be too cute. They shortened the playbook for Barkley and kept it somewhat simple and this the result. Everyone played a million times better. So keep it simple, especially when Allen gets back in there.

I tend to agree. I saw simple football, tackling, blocking, running good routes, and a quarterback taking what the defense was giving and taking shots when they were there. I am am a big X's and O's guy, but you are correct. Simple concepts with everyone doing their job. The offense looked New England esque, which is what I was expecting with Daboll. Their concepts are simple, but they do them really well. We saw that for the first time today in my opinion.

I liked what I saw from Wallace. To be fair, Gaines was maybe missed in run support a bit, I thought Levi played soft there. But coverage wise you can't compare. I'm excited to see Wallace play over the next few weeks. And since we we are talking dbs, it is amazing how good Tre'davious is.

I could see the Jets making a run as well.

Maybe he can come and fix our special teams

So true. I'm curious if it's just a Bills thing or does every fan base do this?

See I don't think this is a big deal. Allen and Anderson got hurt and Nathan Peterman might be the worst quarterback of all time. If if we started 4 guys because we couldn't figure out who the guy is, I'd be worried. Obviously we know Josh Allen is the guy. And he happens to be hurt.

It makes sense to rest him now so that he is ready to go and fresh for the playoffs. It it also gives them a chance to take a look at Jacob Hollister.

Me too but he's been bad. A huge liability when he is in there on defense and he's been bad on special teams as well. There are a million younger, cheaper, faster backup WILL linebackers on the street. They should have kept Tanner Vallejo who is doing some good work for the Browns special teams units. Hopefully, they decide to give Corey Thompson a look on special teams at the very least.

Eh I'm fine with this. Peterman is awful and Barkley has been around. He could be a solid backup. He was probably going to be the #2 in Cincy until he got hurt. Peterman is not an NFL quarterback.

Honestly, if Peterman is so bad that he gets leapfrogged by Barkley, he needs to be off the team. I actually like Barkley as a backup quarterback, but he shouldn't be starting over Peterman in this situation, unless Peterman is THAT bad...in which case Peterman needs to go bag groceries.

I just want to mention in here that Dak Prescott is very average. The minute they tried to make him into a true NFL quarterback, he's shown he isn't great. His first year was all about simple concepts. Now Dallas is in a weird spot because there is no 5th year option and they kind off have to pay him. This might become Redskins-Cousins all over again. If you are going to get a quarterback, take him high.

I was at that Thursday game sitting in the end zone and all I remember is Tyrod missing a thousand open recievers and McCown making plays on third down. He made some great plays in critical situations, running and throwing. It was annoying from what I remember. I probably remember it being way worse than it was. My buddy lost a bet and had to wear a Laverneus Coles jersey on a walk of shame through the parking lot.

In that way yes it does.

This actually hurts us. McCown made our defense look like swiss cheese last year.

He will never be a capable backup. A capable backup has to come in and not throw away the game. A turnover prone guy like him is totally worthless in this league. He is done. When you have no talent, you need to be precise. He is not. He has neither. It's not ignorant and I agree. But this isn't a great draft this year with just two really elite talents in Oliver and Bosa. I think you want to get into the three to have a shot at one.

This is a game we may win because of Darnold's tendency to throw really bad picks. Our defense could win this game, even if Peterman plays. If Allen plays, I really do think we win it.

Makes a ton of sense to reunite with Dan Quinn. They are apparently a bit unhappy with Vic Beasley as well. Great fit for Irvin.

They signed Dontae Johnson to take a look at him. He was terrible and released. I suppose they were giving Gaines the look since he earned it in the off season and was healthy. Pitts dresses because he is a core special teams guy. I agree, Lewis looked pretty good in action and now we will see him playing again.
