Ethan in Cleveland

Dam. I know some on here think he is washed up. Will be interesting to see how he does.

One year too late just like Von

I'd be shocked if this happens. Can't imagine they would go with a rookie starter and an underperforming second year at the 1 tech. Phillips is not a 1 tech to line up next to Oliver in run downs. He is best served as an interior pass rusher to line up next to Oliver on 2rd and 3rd and long situations. But what the hell lets put even more pressure on Allen to score 40 a game

He was a captain!

Hope so! Carter moved to 1 tech this year. So while they may cut Carter I dont think this signing is really about how bad he has been. Probably more to do with Walker playing well and maybe DQ has looked ok. Phillips probably plays alongside Oliver in pass rush situations only.

Correct me if im wrong, but isn't Phillips primarily a #3 tech backup to Oliver. Which to me means they aren't happy with Sanders. Another 2nd round pick that Beane traded up for. I dont think I've read anything positive or to be honest negative about Sanders. Kind of non-descript camp which is a shame for 41st overall selection

Taron times 2! Had no idea about the other 101 yard INT return! Pretty sure I was at the Steve Freeman one but I was only 8 at the time and dont remember much of the game itself.

We only have one lifetime... most of us have been around long enough to see great seasons of football. Enjoy the games. Nobody is taking that away from you. But without a SuperBowl win with the best QB in the league its a failed season.

To be fair, I think most hoped he would outplay Trubisky because no one has any faith in Trubisky. Looks like White failed the test. Like you said. Waive him and there is a very good chance he is still available mid year if catastrophe strikes. It wont matter if Allen misses even a few games. The roster is not good enough to carry Trubisky. The run game works best because of the QB threat. The defense can't stop anyone when it matters. Without a lead to work with they would get scorched. It's all on Allen.

But what about the cap hit? Afraid we are stuck with Allen for a while...

He is the classic high motor marginal talent white defensive end. I think its a rule for the franchise to have at least one per season. He's the complement to Bosa just as Ryan Denney was to Aaron Schobel.

Vikings backup QB Howell traded to Eagles for pick swap. Carson Wentz signed as backup. Sixth team in six years! Ah to be a back up QB millionaire!!!

61 yards against Miami says a different story

Making room for Simmons??? Well done! Bringing culture to the masses!

Because even McDermott knows these games are meaningless. He was taking very little chances for guys that are in the top 40 roster spots.

Shavers probably makes it but also probably doesn't dress. He's realistically 3rd outside WR after Palmer and Coleman. If one of those guys misses a few weeks then he could dress on game day. He's not taking inside reps. He's not a gadget guy like Samuel. He's not taking red zone reps from Coleman and Kincaid. And he's not returning kicks. That leaves gunner which we dont even know if he us any good at. Nice story but if he actually plays then they are probably not in a good spot with injuries.

Yeah that is not a bad idea. Obviously Hairston getting hurt messes everything up. But he wasnt even beating out White in camp. Safety and CB is an absolute disaster right now. It’s not alarmist when it is true. Bills are possibly going to start two guys in White and Hamlin that wouldnt even make most NFL rosters.

Not signing another veteran even before White was hurt was silly. Now with White hurt not bringing in Douglas or another vet is ego and hubris that will cost the team. The secondary is a frickin mess bordering on season destroying disaster right now. Time to stop messing around and use some draft picks to fix it.

I think so too. Thats an indictment on the backups not a testament to Hamlin's ability. But given how frail Rapp and Bishop are I wouldn't play Hamlin either today.

Yeah. Washington, Chargers then Browns I think

If Bass can't go, Browns have a PK battle right now. They may go with rookie over Hopkins. Hopkins could be a stop gap if Bass isn't 100%

They started slow last year against the Cardinals and the first string players got plenty of preseason reps. Preseason is meaningless. If Hairston was healthy, he would be the only starter I would let get a series or two of reps. Other than that every starter and prominent backup like Johnson and Knox should not even dress. If Hamlin is going to be on the 53 as safety number 3( which I hope he is not) theb hexshouldbr dress either. Should be Davis and Gore getting all the RB reps. Shavers Shenault and the gang of PS WRs get the WR reps. Will be interesting to see if Andresen sucks again. Carter too. Those two are playing themselves off the roster.

I never said wall of fame. Agree his tenure wasnt long enough. That would be like putting Bryce Paup on the wall of fame. The question was, was Diggs good? And we seem to agree he was great while here. We are quibbling over the era argument. You are correct but that only means that 88 catches in 1988 was amazing while its not that great in 2022. However when you compare to peers at the time the era doesn't matter. Lots of other teams at the time where run first too, like Dallas with Smith.

The different era argument doesn't really hold water. Compared to their peers at the time Diggs was more dominant than Reed ever was. Tim Brown had 9 seasons in a row over 1000 yards. Irvin 7 of 8 seasons in a row with over a thousand yards and the one season he did not he played in only 11 games and still had 962. Reed never led the league in receptions or yards. Diggs did both. I'm not trying to disparage the greatness that Andre Reed was. His run after catch and toughness are legendary. However what Diggs did in three years in Buffalo was extraordinary regardless of era or scheme.

100% agree. Put him on IR for the year. He is on the roster for 2026 not this year.
