I mean that’s a pretty big “If.” Most GM’s probably would be successful if they found a QB. Like I said, there’s a lot of parralells to drought era Buffalo. The two big knocks on Douglas were his drafting of Meckhi Becton and Zach Wilson high in R1. Both were supposed to be their future cornerstones and failed miserably. You just can’t botch big picks like that and expect to stay employed.

It’s possible. Would not really say it’s likely. Mathematically they have the lowest odds by a little. They need to win out and hope Indy or Miami drops a game.

You implied that he’s been on the injury report for his foot. That hasn’t the been the case since October. He has been on and off the injury report for a number of different injuries though, yes.

No. He hasn’t been on the report for his foot since early in the season. First it was turf toe then it was a foot injury. But he returned in full. most recently he had a shoulder injury and now an injury to his ribs. Nothing to do with his previous injuries It reminds me last season when everyone was the lack of production Diggs was from an unreported injury. It wasn’t. He just wasn’t getting the ball

Woody is likely a train wreck and the Jets remind me a lot of the Bills before McDermott. But Douglas and Saleh deserve a lot of blame too. Douglas is a lot like Doug Whaley. He’s made some good personnel moves, but has no clue how to build a team. Also failed badly at the QB position. Saleh is almost like a younger, charismatic version of Dick Jauron. Solid defensive coordinator but can’t build an offense resulting in a cycle of second-rate OC’s.

Terry is very much like Ralph Wilson when it comes to the Sabres

Not very often. Not sure about FPI but I know several of those have projected the Bills to win the Super Bowl in the past.

Have you watched him this season? He’s playing great. Plus it would be a 5 game rent-a-player. Totally worth it

He would not be subject to waivers as he is a vested veteran with 4+ seasons. He would be a free agent LOL where did you see that? Baltimore weather isn’t much better

Actually the Bills could really use a player like him on the DL. I’m assuming he would take the Justin Jefferson role. I think the rumor was that Miami had a deal in place with Baltimore until McDaniel killed it. It makes me think Baltimore would be his first choice but would definitely take him in Buffalo.

I see them as good - not great. Mac Jones and Will Levis had a lot of success against them as did Cooper Rush (though his was assisted by volume and garbage time). Their INT’s have come in bunches like the game against Detroit, which they still lost and yesterday in Miami. I thought Tua’s 2 of Tua’s INT were really bad unforced errors. The final INT was a great play by Stingley Probably like every KC win this season. Ditto for Pittsburgh

It would be idiotic for Miami to release him at this point in the year given the dead cap situation. Plus it sets a horrible precedent. As far as a trade after the season, there is an out in his contract after 2025 but how much are teams going to spend both in salary and capital on a 31 year-old WR’s whose game is built on speed? I think Miami’s stuck with him another season.

I’m not nearly as high on Houston as you are. Stroud has regressed from last season and Bobby F’N Slowik went from an OC some Bills fans were drooling to fire McDermott for, to a poor man’s Todd Downing in less than 12 months. The defense is ok but it can be had and as good as Stingley is at CB, teams have had success throwing against their secondary. And for all the crap McDermott gets, I’d argue that DeMeco Ryans is an even worse game manager. So while Houston has a nice collection of individual players I’m not sold they can beat KC, especially since I think Mahomes is fine.

I’ve never seen a player or team exaggerate injury status the way they do for Mahomes.

I don’t think they outright lied to deceive him but maybe framed the situation differently than it was in reality, to keep a positive relationship with a vet player they respect. Beane has done this in the past when releasing a player. He’ll say they were giving them a choice to sign with the team they wanted, rather than deciding for the player via a trade. I 100% believe this. One of Tre’s underrated strengths is his smarts - especially his knowledge of the position in the McDermott defense

It doesn’t surprise me. It’s often been said McVay relates really well to players and his approach is unique to other coaches. It sounds like McDermott is similar to Harbaugh where he “coaches hard but loves you at the same time.” Even Humphrey said he’s “no Mr. positivity on the sideline.”

Such a good guy… but I don’t buy that LA passed off better offers to be traded to Baltimore. He put some really bad play on tape and I think they took the only offer they were given which was the lowest possible compensation that could be offered .

I would agree. Tre was playing at a very high level before the Thanksgiving injury in New Orleans.

That’s why I’m struggling with injuries being the reason for his lack of production. If he’s hurting from turf toe, why not just sit him? He’s 5th on the depth chart and probably the last option when he’s on the field. I don’t think it happened because he’s not on the injury report.

Where was this reported? I feel both McDermott and Brady said the opposite and that we was at full health multiple times this season. I don’t think it’s as much of an injury issue as it is Samuel not fitting into the offense. It happens sometimes

He doesn’t offer much as a pass rusher but sets the edge very well and is a high motor player. Would be a good addition to the PS

Mahomes exaggerated injuries. He’ll be hopping around on one foot and crying in pain and then back 5 plays later. He’ll be fine the rest of the season

That is not true . He was battling turf toe very early in the season and recovered. He had no injury diagnosis and was at full health. A few weeks ago he hurt his shoulder and might have reactivated it again on Sunday. So yeah injuries have slowed him a bit but not the same one I that injury is much overstated.

Long way to go for that happen. I’m just looking for a win next week

This was just an incredible throw. Normally when QB’s throw a ball that travels that far they put a lot of air under it like the “moon ball.” This throw was almost a freaking frozen rope that traveled 50 yards and was placed perfectly. Just incredible
