Multiple K injuries in one year. I’m not sure that’s happened to the Bills in my history as a fan.

Oh, you just meant least cap space right now? Sure, no argument there. Sorry to have misunderstood. Usually saying worst cap situation takes into account the overall picture, not just today. There’s no NFL coach or exec who would trade our cap situation for the Saints’.

The bolded is comically inaccurate. The Saints have the worst cap situation in league history.

This is a good take. Especially since Moore has been more effective as an outside WR than in the slot in the NFL. You could include Palmer in this analysis as well, although with the caveat that he was on mediocre teams with a good QB. Still, his per-game numbers are abysmal so far, after being reliably a 700ish yard guy on his rookie deal. To whom it may concern: I agree that too often, no one’s getting open. (Saw some of it in person this past week - every time I looked downfield during a scramble drill, there was nothing there.) I also agree that having better outside talent (Olave or whomever) would help. But I haven’t seen any plausible explanation of why these 600-700 yard WRs are turning into 200-300 yard WRs on the 2025 Bills.

Fair point with the kick returns! I was thinking WR specific and initially drew a blank. I still can’t think of anything impressive Moulds showed from scrimmage those first two years, but it was a while ago obviously.

I’ll be there! Look for the white guy in a Josh Allen jersey, you can’t miss me.

What examples do you have in mind? Not trying to be a jerk, but that doesn’t line up with my recollection at all.

Re: the bolded: In general, I’ve been a bit disappointed with our ability to be ready for opponent adjustments. We’re fairly good at coming up with effective Plan A gameplans, but too often we seem to be shocked when the other team adjusts and Plan A stops working. Did this not come up when gameplanning? “How will they adjust to what we’re doing, and what should we do then?”

I want yardage to be cumulative and cancel out. Meaning, if the offense commits holding and the defense was Offside, there’s a net 5 yard penalty on the offense. If it’s a face mask instead of Offside, net 5 yard penalty on the defense. Both Offside AND a face mask? Make it 10 yards total.

We ran it once in the Ravens game, I think. I seem to remember calling it when I saw their formation, but that whole game is a blur at this point. There was one play last night where I thought they were going to run it again - I think it was either the 4th down flip pass or maybe a goal line possession? I just remember that 1) I was wrong, and 2) the play they actually ran failed.

Money. My assumption is that they’d need to offload Samuel’s contract in order to take back either contract. Moore is a lot cheaper and has no money committed beyond this year. Meanwhile, the Bills are cap-strapped now and will be next year as well. I may be way off base, but I think Olave would be my goal if I was GM. Start going Rams “F them pics” style, at least a little bit. Would another Groot/Kincaid/Coleman/Hairston type move the needle next year? Probably not, and the odds of getting an instant stud at those spots is probably like… 5 percent? I think it’s worth it to instead spend it on a guy like Olave (or maybe someone without a massively concerning concussion history, but not sure how many might be available). Especially since you also get that guy for the rest of this year.

Really? They showed one on the broadcast. If the unofficial TV line was accurate, he was clearly offside. I stopped being mad at the refs the second I saw it. (Don’t worry, I got mad at them again later.)

I think in that scenario, you’d be looking at something like Samuel + a pick for Shaheed or Samuel + picks for Olave. And Samuel presumably has negative value, so the picks would have to be fairly substantial. Both guys are young enough to still be relevant after a rebuild, and both are popular enough to help keep fans coming to the games, and that’s something their ownership cares a ton about. We'd have to make them a serious offer. I really don’t know if NOLA’s cap situation would permit either trade, but if it did, it’s a fairly plausible trade partner. I mean, he is kinda built like a tweezer. On Hard Knocks, he looked pretty light for a safety, much less a linebacker.

LOL. Yeah, suuuuuuper comparable here. That’s like on Seinfeld when George Costanza was trying to get Ted Danson money for writing Jerry’s pilot. Callahan is the Costanza of this analogy. So that I’m contributing to the discussion: I’m not interested in this poll right now, but I’ll be lining up to respond to the same poll after the season ends. This feels like the first year where I might get on board the Fire McDermott train. Obviously that depends on how the year goes. At a minimum, we need to see real improvement - across the board - for me to stay on board with keeping McD on board. Right now, none of offense/defense/special teams is playing at a contender level, and the penalties are out of hand. There’s still time to right the ship, but we have to be honest that the ship is capsized.

In week 6??? No. But check back after the season.
