With the way RBs drop like flies you need 2 of them on the PS

Uh oh. You know McDermott did that on purpose which was incredibly smart. Your not gonna know if you can rely on him with a bunch of 20-30 yarders.

Is it just me or has the game been a cluster with audio visual today?

Gouriage looked really bad there

Why is there never any pressure on 3rd down. These QBs just have all day
Not to excuse other times but outside of Solomon who I’m not sure was in the 2nd series, they are literally playing the bottom of the DL roster for this game -
The Bills 2nd team offensive line is pretty good and Van Pran can get up to the 2nd level. I'd legit consider starting him he looks damn good in there but they all do to be honest. Even Collins wasn't ass that first drive.

The Bills don't have to make a trade for anyone if they have the intentions of replacing Mitch(which I doubt). There will be some names that shake loose after this week and the Bills present a great opportunity to be a # 2 that a lot of places dont have at the moment.

Maybe at least wait for the regular season. Not sure how you can form an opinion based on how little teams use their starters in the preseason.
I acknowledged that it was only preseason. Its also not an opinion that none of them have done anything its a fact that none of them have done anything through week 3 of the preseason. Could I wait sure but the topic was brought up about Franklin and I added to the topic that its not just Franklin its pretty much all of them. No where did I say any of them are busts or one is better than the other already.

*Checks calendar*
Yes fully aware if preseason week 3 just stating whats going on so far. Legette, Two Bills Drive's love child, has been injured and hasn't played yet. God forbid the guy has a big day though against the Bills cut guys or it will be pandemonium on this board after tomorrow's game.

The whole class hasn't really done much to be honest so far in looking at it. Out of the guys we could have drafted, Worthy is having the best preseason and Mitchell caught a TD pass last night but none of the guys including Coleman have done much of anything yet.

They to me have the best roster. If they can not be the Jets and Rodgers can play above average ball I can see it. Its still the Jets though.

Trubisky getting hurt may cost another position group a player.
Do you think they go with three or just try to get through week 1 with a gimpy Trubisky?
Normally I don't much care about the last guy on the roster, but this year that may be a critical back up safety or the local kid LB.
I'd probably take my chances and just go with Trubisky. Even if Allen gets dinged and needs to miss a play Trubisky can still hand off with a bum knee.
One of 4 options. We keep two and Trubisky is 2 and we suck it up for a week and sign a veteran to the PS.
Option 2 is we keep Trubisky , make him inactive and call up the PS QB until he is healthy
Option 3. We place him on IR eligible to return and sign another QB to the 53
Option 4. We release him with man injury settlement and sign another to the 53.
I don’t see us keeping 3 regardless of his injury

If you believe we’re a team in transition like a lot of you think , then why would we dip into a day 2 selection for an underachieving WR when we have 10 picks next year in another solid early evaluation pass catcher draft

Yea I don’t know if there are many that teams would be interested in Clapp if he has any value because I think it’s worth putting Gouriage on the 53 and Jonathan because he might have some Boogie Basham type late round value.
I think it’s much more likely we use some of that late round capital to add to a position. Maybe a Cam Lewis or a Mike Edwards but I think that’s a long shot esp with all the injuries
-
I literally said this is another thread. Everyone started freaking out about week to week and I was like uh guys there is literally 3 weeks to the regular season.
The vast majority of these guys will be back opening day and if not def by the Thurs night game

The problem is Braelon Allen isn’t as good despite his imposing figure. He has to be in a gap scheme. Once Wisconsin got away from I formation downhill he got progressively worse. He isn’t a huge thumper for his size
He’s not a good pass catcher and he needs to hone his pass blocking skills.
Maybe in 4 years Allen will catch up to him in those things but I’ll take Davis over him anyday

Wow, I just realized that Ray Davis is 3 months older than Shakir. He’ll be 25 before the bye week.
Any other position this would matter but most teams recycle RBs every 4 years anyways . He won’t get a big 2nd contract -

I wonder if the Bills are one of the teams.
I mean something has to give there. I highly doubt either Winston or Huntley want to be a # 3 even if they keep 3 on the roster. One of those two are going either via release or trade-

I think people can’t fathom the idea of a TE being a # 1 here because the Bills and their fans haven’t exactly seen a rich history here.
I agree this season will ride on how much Kincaid and Shakir jump. The RBs, both Cook and Davis I expect to catch a lot of passes as well.
I do also believe that the Bills will use one of their top 3 picks next year on another pass catcher as well to go along with what they have now

Just a beat down fan base who thinks we reached our peak and are on the downside now because we lost a bunch of aging guys and now we have a bunch of guys injured. At the end of the day we'll be fine. We still have 19 days before kickoff against the Cardinals and most of these "week to week" guys will be back either for the opener or for the Dolphins game in Week 2.

Brown was with Boston College and was incredibly mobile but wasn’t an accurate passer and then went to Oregon and got better but still wasn’t great. Def a guy to get us through week 3 of preseason

This is true, but they've also had some good injury luck compared to the other contending teams. Nobody of the caliber of Tre White, Von Miller, Matt Milano has been down due to injury in the playoffs (except for one game where Mahomes went out towards the end), let alone the avalanche of injuries we had last year.
This is not meant to be mean but Bills fans always have a damn excuse for why they can't beat the Chiefs. The first year the Bills hadn't been there and were inexperienced. Then the 2nd year they lost to the Chiefs with a dominant performance due to coaching/defense. Then they lose to the Bengals in the playoffs and its because we don't have enough playmakers. Then we lose last year to the Chiefs again because of injuries.
Every game we have played against the Chiefs we have had the opportunity to win and found ways to blow it. Even the 37-24 game we were up 14-0 in the game. Everyone knows about 13 seconds. Last years against the Chiefs we dominated the first half, then proceeded to score 7 points in the 2nd half after we ran over them in the first half. Throw in a Bass missed kick that may or may not have mattered.
Make more plays when it counts.

Did you look at last year’s PS before you wrote this? Last year’s PS contained some vets like Ty Johnson and Isabella, but most were young guys they were looking to develop like Ingram and Shavers but not necessarily Bills draftees. It doesn’t change the NFL roster categories. The draftees they keep on the roster are still expected to contribute at least on special teams unless they are OL.
Sure didn't because this years team and last years team are different. The Bills salary cap is incredibly tight and need to resign some big guys coming up (Rousseau/Brown). By keeping and developing more cost control without the possibility of losing them is paramount. Plus the difference between their veterans and rookies are negligible. Why would you risk exposing a Ulofoshio or a Spector who is younger and more likely to be picked up on waivers by keeping an aging veteran like Deion Jones. Why keep a Clapp when you can keep a Gouriage who I actually think has outplayed him.
The rules state you must keep younger guys, 10, 0-2 years and 6 unlimited years guys. Thats why there are so many young development on PS not because teams choose that route.
I don't really think its a huge thing but Deion Jones has been playing in the 4th quarter behind pretty much every healthy LB on the roster and your talking about him rotating with a 2nd year guy they drafted in the 3rd round. Its not going to happen.

Every year people say this about a RB that excels in preseason and every year they think their going to make the team and end up cut.
