Seems like it’s a scheme/play-calling thing. Goal last 3+ years has been to tailor the offense to make sure Josh developed. And rightfully so. Now I think they need to pivot to a little more power running.

If that’s the position he’s gonna take, Houston will never trade him. Watson is already toxic. In order to generate any kind of market, he’ll have to be willing to go anywhere. Otherwise, it makes no sense for Houston to trade him for next to nothing.

I don’t think Watson is in a position to veto anything. And I can’t see a team trading for him unless it’s 20 cents on the dollar, meaning no way anybody gives up a 1st rounder for him.

Just give the ball to Taylor. Wentz could/should have 4 picks already.

Never ceases to amaze me how bad DB’s are at turning their head around on the deep ball.

There’s no way Gettelman is trading Barkley. He might as well waive a white flag and pack his bags if that happens. Only chance Gettelman keeps his job is if Jones shows something rest of year and trading Barkley doesn’t help that.

Except for the Bills. Which tells me it’s a scheme/blocking issue as much as anything.

Not sure I’ve ever seen offensive PI on an uncatchable ball. Tells you how bad the pass was.

Please just down the ball and end this half.

Battle of noodled arm QB’s. Who’s gonna get one of their WR’s killed first?

Time for Lock. At least he can throw the ball through a paper bag.

I think another Tight End is a no brainer whether that is somebody like Engram, Ebron or Hurst. Doesn’t matter. Now that Knox has become an offensive weapon, getting 2 Tight Ends on the field would make this offense almost un-stoppable. Teams cannot cover Sanders and Diggs. 2 Tight Ends in max protect and also the ability to run routes… good luck stopping that. I’d rather have an extra Tight End on the field than Beasley or Davis.

Sanders looked like a #1 WR on Monday night. He was a great addition. If this offense could run the ball successfully in the red zone, we’d be unstoppable.

As an aside, how can Ford not crack the starting lineup on this OL? I’m fine trading him for anything at this point. Engram for Ford would make sense for both teams.

Time for Beane to go for it. Can’t see us winning a Lombardi without improving the running game.

Oliver and Moss/Singletary for Kyle Fuller and Melvin Gordon.

That would be interesting. It’s also how the Pats operated during their dynasty. Get something back for a guy you’re not gonna re-sign.

For the gamblers out there, I’m curious how the point spread changed after this announcement. Would love to know what player’s absence in NFL would result in biggest swing in point spread.

I like it. And if NFL keeps trying to add more regular season games, it makes even more sense. Instead of wasting 53 man roster spots on guys who only play on punt and kick coverage, you can carry more guys who actually play on offense or defense. And a lot of injuries happen on punt and kick coverage plays.

The problem with the 5th year option is it basically tethers a guy’s 1st round draft status to him for his whole career. The 5th year option number becomes the starting point for an extension and if a team declines the option, very rarely does a player re-sign with the team.

The only time it ever makes sense to put yourself in a position to hold is in pass protection. Sometimes a 10 yard penalty is better than getting your QB killed and potentially creating a turnover. Every other hold is stupidity and just hoping the ref doesn’t see it. The hold on McKenzie return was obvious and total lack of discipline.

There are so few big returns. You’d think special teams coaches would just tell the blockers to put their hands behind their backs. It’s not worth the effort. Which is probably why the Bills were kicking it short. No big returns and high probability of holding on the return team. Not sure how you can even block guys running at full speed coming from all over the field.

He's the most talented QB in the game. Closest thing to Elway, who in my opinion was the most physically gifted QB I’ve ever seen. Hopefully it doesn’t take 15 years to put a Super Bowl winning team around him.

Yes. Guilty as charged. Even the announcers are guilty. Josh can make any play you want him to make on the field.

‘Micro-probability’ is fancy way to say that Head Coach can have the stat guy in his ear telling him the probability, but the Coach also has to use his eyes and realize those probabilities don’t compute with what’s happening in the game. I’m guessing it was taking Bills forever to decline or accept a couple penalties last night because McDermott was waiting on the probabilities to come in from that stat guy.
