    A lot of my friends had big money (~$500) on the game and were FURIOUS in the 4th qtr/post game. I had to stop checking my phone because they were making the victory not fun.

    If I had to bet, the NFL-wide statistics on double digit covers CANNOT be good.  I love the Bills, I thought we’d win by double digits but there’s so much garbage time and prevent in the NFL that >10 points is tough to win.

    Green bays offence does nothing well buddy lol.

     

    Have you seen Aaron Rodgers stats this year and their pass protection/weapons?

     

    Running the ball was their only chance to win this game.

     

    Which goes back to my original point… make their practice squad WRs beat you consistently and see if their piss poor o line holds up…

     

     

     

     

     

     

    What about, “get an insurmountable lead and don’t let them score fast to come back.”

    Gabe Davis is like most likely gonezo if we sign this guy after this year right? I don't want that. I'll pass. Much rather have Davis. I still think the people that think he's coming here are in for a big surprise, but we will see.

    No. If a two year deal was accurate, Gabe would be hitting FA when the contract expired.

    I'd rather sign oline. How effective is someone coming off an ACL injury going to be? 

    Okay let’s sign Vlad Ducasse instead.

    Maybe you're just easier to impress than I am? In any event he's played 2 maybe 3 "good" games as a Chief. The rest of the time he's been fairly absent. I think it's fair to say that there is some promise of upside...but to say it was successful may be a premature statement so far. Let's see how the rest of his season goes.

    No it's all about the risk-reward and what the player was thought of before he took that deal.

     

    JuJu's last two seasons, he average a dreadful 8.7 YPR.  That's like a running back stat line.

     

    His first year as an FA, he signed a 1 yr $8M deal with $7M GTD with the Steelers.  He had 15 catches for 129 yards and only appeared in 5 games.

     

    He then hits FA again and his deal with KC was team-friendly to say the least. 1 year $3.7M with 2.7M GTD. And then, like I said, he's on pace to have the second best year of his career.

     

    For what KC paid to get him (a 1 year low-cost prove it deal on a WR bordering on out of the league), he's absolutely working out.

    I'm curious to know who you mean, exactly? If you're talking Juju or MVS it's really early to chalk them up as a success yet. Lev Bell? Shady? Kelvin Benjamin? Josh Gordon? This is a desperation move that the Chiefs seem to swing and miss on every year.  Nothing to see here.

     

    The Giants are starting David Sills at WR. There is no way they would let Toney go for a late 3rd at BEST in a season that they are pushing for a possible playoff spot in the weak NFC if Toney was that much of a gamechanger on a consistent basis.

    JuJu is putting up the second best YPR of his career, the second best YPG of his career and already has 400 more yards than he did last season. 
     

    it’s not that early to say that was a successful move. He was basically regarded as a scrub and his career has turned around.

    Those picks are basically 4th and 7th rounders. Dude is made of glass but they bought cheap on a 1st round talent to play with Pat Mahomes. I would be fine with the Bills making a similar move. 

    It’s a great trade for both teams. 
     

    Chiefs get a cheap 1st round talent lotto ticket.

     

    Giants taking a page out of the McBeane playbook and getting rid of malingerers asap while winning.

    Wow, just when you think Stephen A. Smith can't be any dumber. Trying to make it like Mahomes' game against the Bills was qualified MVP material. Those two picks were bruuuutal! 

     

    Until last week, any reasonable person could have given Mahomes the edge, based on his career, 13 seconds, and continued stellar play. He was the reigning MVP candidate until proven otherwise, and that proof was delivered last Sunday.

     

    How much evidence do you need?

    It's a debate show designed to get people to tune in.

    Bills sign Dawson Knox to 4-year $53.6 mill extension ($31 mill gtd) through 2026

    I hear what you are saying. But some things to consider...

     

    1. Knox has provided value in the offense as a blocker.

     

    2. He is playing the role that the coaches have asked -- it is not as if he has dropped numerous passes or failed to get open as the #1 option on passing routes.

     

    3. While the numbers overall have not been eye-popping, he has come up huge with clutch catches in the two victories that went down to the wire. That would be the key long reception against Baltimore on the game winning drive -- and, of course, the TD catch against KC.

     

    4. Right now the passing game is built around the talented WRs and dump-offs to the RBs -- and it has been quite successful. Eventually some defense (possibly the Packers on Sunday, who do actually have a strong secondary) or weather conditions, etc. are going to dictate another plan of attack. That is when I think you will see a big game from Knox.

    IRT the bolded, that's not good enough. I would be mad if they paid Singletary like a top 12 RB and then gave him the ball 8-12 times a game and split him with Moss per usual.

     

    Either use your good players or don't pay them.  Don't pay them and not use them.

     

    I think they will use Knox more in the future, and maybe it's a combo of injury/off the field for his slow start to the year.

     

    We paid Diggs and the reason we paid him is because when he gets 12-15 targets a game, he is awesome.

    A lot of talk of "he is really good, but the play caller, play, QB, etc". But isn't that sort of the point of the people arguing against the Knox contract? Lets say Knox is a top 5 TE. We don' utilize him as a top 5 TE, so why allocated that kind of cash to a really good player in a role that we don't focus on? 

    On the Bills of 10 years ago we would certainly bicker about how to get Knox involved. But right now the offense is humming at an elite level, so why change the offense just to get more value out of your contract? 

     

    I like Knox. I am hoping he lives up to his valuation. Given the year he has had I am trying not to be too critical, but I also understand other frustrations. I think his valuation will end up being a lot more fair as others renew. Right now Knox (15/148 yards/1 TD) is slightly less productive than McKenzie (17/162 yards/ 3 TD) and slightly more productive than Shakir (6/112 yards/ 1 TD) in the passing game. Knox (273) as taken 101 more snaps than McKenzie (172) and 179 more than Shakir (94)

    For so many, it’s no big deal what we pay people because we are “good,” but that’s not how this game is played.

    Odd timing of this, considering he just had an incredible catch to beat the Chiefs.

    He has missed a couple games due to injury. Let’s see how the rest of the year plays out. I am interested to see what tinkering Dorsey and the rest of the coaches did over the bye.

    He’s played 5 of our 6 games. He may have been playing less than 100% but he hasn’t missed that many games either.

    It's interesting.

     

    His "clock" is definitely not moving at NFL speed.  He needs to be coached to throw the ball OOB and move on to second or third down.  But that's been said of other young QB (Josh for example) and they learned over time.

     

    The thing that bothered me watching Fields is that he never looks like he's having a good time.   He gets hit and he winces and hauls himself to his feet slowly like he can't take too many more of those.   He doesn't seem to have that "it" factor, that "we're not out of the game, we can do this!" attitude.  But, paradoxically, his WR and RB do go hard for him so I figured he must have something.

     

    Then last night, they're kicking Patriot Butt and taking names, and he's clearly having a great time - cracking a big grin on the sideline at a good D play, laughing.  Then he goes back onto the field, and he still doesn't look like he's having a good time.

     

    I concluded that Fields has the QB equivalent of "Resting B**ch Face" where when he's in the game and focused, he just looks like that.

    Fields and Cutler both look MISERABLE, even when they are winning.
