    Sunday is still a must-win to secure #2 seed. But I really get the sense there is a push to deny Allen the recognition of an MVP award by over-inflating Jackson's accomplishments and diminishing Allen's. Even the yard stick changes ever year away from Josh and towards Jackson. One year stats don't matter. The next they do.


    Any award that’s voted on will get skewed to whatever the voters deem exciting that year.  Josh is having a great year and doing more with less.  Jackson is absolutely stuffing the stat sheet.  If you take it all in a vacuum, Jackson is having the best season, in context Josh is more Valuable to his team.   The biggest problem for JA is playing in Buffalo, the last month of the season is always garbage weather and stats get deflated, then the recency bias comes into play.   He needs to light the Jets up Sunday.

    yeah, I think the real draft miss was taking Coleman one spot ahead of McConkey. McConckey looks like a complete receiver, though I am not sure how much of the time he plays from the outside vs the slot. 

     

     

    Ladd looks legit, he would be the best WR on this team already, so it doesn’t matter where he lines up per se.  Keon has potential, and more physical tools to work with, so it may all work out w time.

  3. There’s been a lot of rumbling in the media about Lamar having his best year ever and the MVP race isn’t over.  The recency bias is real, Allen was all the rage after the Rams/Lions, then laid an egg against the Pats.  Lamar continues to put up great numbers.  If you really watch it, it’s a lot to do with the threat of Henry running you over and Lamar is taking advantage of it, but do the voters care?  That’s the real question.   Hopefully, JA goes and drops a massive game on the Jets and wraps up the 2 seed and MVP all in one game.

    They played today with Pickens and they scored less than their last two games.  They look like they are going to lose to the Bengals next week which means they will finish the season losing 5 out of their last 7 games.  Im sorry, that’s not a good team.

     

    Tomlin is a good coach but it seems he cannot cover up with for Wilson’s flaws anymore.  


    Wilson is washed and his line is pure trash, he has no time to throw down field, but when he does get time, he pats the ball and can’t make a decision.  They would be better off with Fields again.

    The comments I'm reading sound like we wish we had Diggs back, as in we have a guy who the offense runs though. Tell me again, why do we want that? Why do we want the other team to know who they have to stop? 

    Because at this point it doesn’t look like Cooper commands any attention.

    good thought. If that is the case, we need Pittsburgh to beat both KC and Cincy. There is no way Baltimore is losing to Houston and Cleveland.
     

    So Pitt needs to basically win out. That could happen especially with Chris jones possibly out and if Cincy is eliminated after this week; I can see them then sitting their entire team in week 18, especially Burrow.

     

    edit: the risk in this “rooting scenario is if the Bills don’t win out And Pittsburgh does, then we drop to the 3 seed.


     

     


    1 win, Bills have the 2 seed regardless.

  7. What I’m seeing is more wishing they had gone after D-Hop and got a guy that actually does something.  No offense to Cooper, but he’s always been a great #2 to average #1, he has blow up games and weeks of nothing.  It would be nice if he found a few weeks of big production in the playoffs.

    Counterpoint, it’s 20 years later and the very best RBs are playing on 2nd or 3rd contracts.  Saquon, Henry, Jacobs, Mixon.

    Henry is a bargain bc of his age/heavy use, the league thought he was done.  Saquon is doing what he’s always done, he’s just healthy and has a team around him, both relative firsts.  I wouldn’t pay for Mixon or Jacobs in reality.   Generational talent is considerably different than “really good”, Henry and Saquon are different animals all together.

    I want Hyde (back) in there ASAP.  And Rapp is a good starting SS (did you know that Belicheat tried to sign him last year?) but hopefully Bishop will show enough improvement in these last 2 games to merit replacing him.

    I’d like to see Hyde play this week and look good if he’s going to be on the playoff roster.  I’m cautiously optimistic he can be an upgrade to FS, but we’ll see if he can actually come off the couch and perform.

    You and @JohnNord didn’t mention the true Waldo of the defense last game, Spector. They targeted those guys but the one that was truly getting picked on was Spector before he went out. Unsurprisingly the defense played a lot better when he went out. 

    Worked out great for US. Pretty sure he helped us in the comp pick formula (didn’t net us a pick but negated a UFA signing). I would happily take that from Hamlin and consider the pick a big success (7th round iirc). If you’re saying Hamlin should stay in buffalo on a modest contract I think that’s still a W for us cause he’ll be proven backup on a modest contract. 

    I hope Hamlin gets paid big.. by Pitt

    Maybe it's been talked about, but he has a chance of achieving some special single season feats in Bills history:

     

    1. Rushing TDs: currently at 14, if I'm not mistaken OJ holds our record at 17

     

    2. Rushing+Receiving TDs: OJ had 23 in '75 (his unreal yr), but James might be only our 2nd player to hit 20+ in 1 year? Currently at 16.

     

    For a player who caught grief early in his career, this was a gem of a pick by Beane.  Cook has taken another leap since LY, and flourishes in Bradys offense.  Has a 2nd gear second to maybe Saquon in open field.  His vision, strength, and ability to create yardage after contact has been next level in 2024.

     

    For some who were expecting Ray Davis to being splitting carries (or even our 1a) by now, Cook proved those doubters wrong.  Not gonna dig up that offseason thread, but too many dismissed how special Jimbo can be.

     

    I think most will agree this is our best RB room in a long while.  More importantly, this has completely balanced and made our offense more dangerous without a stud Wr1. 

     

    I'm too lazy to look, but as an offense, we might be close to breaking a team rushing TD record as well.  Kudos to oline as well.


    Hi, it was me, I said Davis would take his job.  I’d like the credit for properly motivating Cook 😜.  Seriously though, I did say it and I was dead wrong.  Davis is very good in his own right and I do think he and Johnson could shoulder the work load, BUT Cook has been outstanding this year.   His explosion has been great and his strength has definitely improved, he’s good for tough yards and a threat to take it to the house.  He’s turned into a really good all around back, big props to him.

    I thought that question was a year too early.  If he threatens to hold out and some team offers you a day two pick you take it this off-season.  Ideally, you get the pick for the 2025 draft and not the 2026 one.

    I hate to say it, he’s been great, but if you can get a higher pick for him (doubtful), you should take it and run.  History says it’s pretty much never a good idea to pay a RB.

    "Tyrel Dodson signed a 1 year, $4,260,000 contract with the Seattle Seahawks, including $1,000,000 signing bonus, $1,000,000 guaranteed, and an average annual salary of $4,260,000."

     

    Pretty fcking well, I'd say.

    Yeah.. guess you forgot this part. “The Seattle Seahawks waived linebacker Tyrel Dodson on Monday in a shake-up of their struggling defense. Dodson started all nine games this season for the Seahawks, seven at middle linebacker and the past two games on the weak side after the team traded for middle linebacker Ernest Jones IV on Oct.”

    The Bills last 2 offensive Coordinators Brian Daboll and Ken Dorsey have helped lead their teams to a COMBINED 5 wins and 460 points this season. 

     

    Meanwhile Buffalo has 12 wins and 469 points. 

    But we’d be doomed without McClappy.

    Never will happen.  Tre tore his Achilles and a full ACL tear.  That’s oranges and apples.

     

    As far as resting starters, we’ll know if we’re going for it for the next 2 weeks by We’d. Night when the Chiefs game wins or loses to the Steelers.

    Well, he won’t have to worry about it next year, Williams will be starting and he’ll be job hunting.
