11 AM Mountain Time is rough for the Broncos. They have played at this time 4 times this season going 2 and 2. Lost the last two. The thing that sticks out the most is in these four games, they avg 15 points on offense. I dont think Bo Nix understands what he is going to face on Sunday. Mcdermott coached defense is going to throw things he has never seen in his football career, and he wont have the benefit being able to communicate changes at the line due to crowd.

I disagree with you that he was getting dragged. He had a lot of open field tackles where I have seen Milano and Bernard let the guy fly right by them. He would at least get some type of body on the guy stopping him.

He's still on the team so I'm forced to have to believe in him. I don't think it would hurt when he is in there for him to read a defense, switch the play, RPO, play action, etc. Let him have some control. Instead its awful rb power into the back of the line.

I would like to see Mitch actually run an NFL offense out there. Every time we put him out there, its hand off, hand off, screen pass, punt. I never understand why we dont have him simulate anything.

Beane knew what he was getting into when he picked Bernard. His reliability and play is exactly what he put on tap and the injury report in college. I would personally move on ASAP from Bernard. He can come in as competition next year, but it better be an open one. He would be best as a situational back up that doesn't need to be counted on. A few flash plays every now and then.

You 100% can pay Cook and absolutely should pay Cook. He isn't a back you can just replace. How many years did we go with zero long runs for TDs. Cook gets one every other game. He has made our red zone offense lethal with his ability to hit the edge.

I just dont know if we can waste one of the two call ups on Mike White. I would rather be able to sit someone like Torrence vs sitting Mitch.

I think they had a cluster of safeties rated the same and Bishop got pushed to top because of the endorsement of Kincaid. I think Bishop's tape in college was suspect and there were other safeties available that had better tape, but Beane went with the guy that graded out athletically good and already had the stamp of approval from Kincaid.

They just lost to Huntley at home by 17 points.

Travis Hunter is someone that could change the entire direction of your franchise, why would a team give that up? There aint a QB even close to being a number one overall pick.

It was mentioned he sought Kincaid's opinion of him before pulling the trigger. I think it would be ignorant to think it didn't play a huge role in Bishop over other safeties in the class.

In terms of the playoffs, for the Bills purposes, I would rather have Pitt - Ravens round one. I think Pitt has a better chance to beat Balt than LAC. Russell makes one fumble that turned that entire game around. Without that mistake and Pickens playing, Pitt could have easily beat them.

Everyone knows what a joke Cleve is. It doesn't matter. Balt is beating the crap out of Cleve.

I don't think he is getting more than vet minimum anywhere. It was 1.21 for a player with 7+ years of experience. I would imagine its at least 1.25 million next year. For a RB in this league, that's decent money to be paying a 3rd stringer.

Its RB, there are hundreds of capable guys out there. If Bills want him, they will get him.

He's pretty terrible. I feel like Beane should stick to his scouting staff when drafting players and not going off what players on the team think of him. I would rather have Kareem Jackson play. This also shows how much a better player Hamlin is than he gets credit for. Hamlin just being the correct position is a huge benefit to the rest of team.

Did Aaron Rodgers post this thread?

His size has been a concern of mine since we drafted him. It lead to injuries in college and now we see it in the NFL. Beyond that, last year teams had zero tape on him. He didnt even play in preseason. Towards the end of last year, you seen teams start to figure him out and then it has just continued into this year. The problem the Bills have, they don't want to try Buffalo Joe, so right now Bernard is miles better than what they have on tape as the backups. I wouldn't lock into an extension with Bernard. Dorian Williams is the type of MLB I like. My personal opinion, I don't need my MLB in coverage. I would rather them just attack. If you do the math, there is zero need for an MLB to have to play coverage. On the field, you have 5 O lineman and a QB on offense. You shouldn't need 7 guys on defense covering the pass. There are only a max of 5 guys that can catch a pass. I thought Edmunds would make a better OLB and think the same with Bernard. The better coverage LB should be the OLB. I wish Dorian and Bernard would flop positions, and allow Dorian to spy the QB and attack the line on rushing downs.

Still takes too many pre snap penalities

100% correct. I hope NE claims him.

Elam speed was evident out there and allowed us to play more man. I think that element is desperately needed. Our secondary is just too slow which forces us into too much zone. Douglas has been mediocre at best this year with no INTs. I'm rolling with Elam for his speed. Bishop can take a seat on bench. I would rather play Jackson.

Looks like they just listed the probable final standings heading into playoffs. I have zero issues.

Yesterday's game didnt end till almost 8:00 pm. I would much prefer the 4:05 time

In terms of team vibes, its the best bowl game out there. Let the boys have some fun. At the end of the day, with the playoffs, these other bowl games are all pretty meaningless. Go to the one that the players will have a good time.

Also, is this the week 18 game? That is still TBD.
