    Moore, Shavers and Coleman appear to be the only 100% healthy wide receivers we have.

     

    Assuming 6 WR will be active on gameday with Shakir, Palmer and Davis being banged up/listed on the injury report, 3 healthy and 3 managing injuries and playing.  


    Shakir isn’t injured. He’s listed because he didn’t practice, but that’s due to personal reasons. Not injury related.

    The bills are a straight up statistical enigma haha you’d think they were bottom of the league in everything watching them but we’re like 12th in yards allowed per game and 14th in points allowed per game 😂 

     

    I think the run heavy opponent approach has kinda been a double edged sword…there’s been some comically easy drives but also quite a few three and outs where we stuffed a couple runs in the series.
     

    The running game against us has been either home runs or minimal gains it feels like but to truly pound the run most plays I think you’d prefer a 5 or 6 yard gain every play 

     

    Yeah.  Like, the long TD runs we've given up this year are bad, there's no debating that.  But as failures go, giving up a long TD run isn't as damaging as giving up a series of 5-15 yard runs that ends in a TD.  The long run can be demoralizing, but getting wrecked over and over on a long TD drive is also demoralizing. 

     

    I'm not *happy* about where the run D is this year by any stretch.  But I'm *less worried* than most.  

  3. If Davis Mills starts, we should absolutely win.  I'm hoping we can build on the positives from last week, while cutting out the turnovers.  Allen's first INT was caused by bad blocking - Edwards blocked nobody while a blitzer came untouched through the spot where Edwards started the play.  The second INT was more of a great recovery by the defender, but Allen could've been better there.  The Hardman fumble was just a poor decision not to fair catch it, with 2 Bucs bearing down on him and no blockers.  And the other fumble (Ty Johnson I think?) that we recovered wasn't great, but also more of a good play by Lavonte David than it was a glaring error on our part.

    So?  Cooks fumble was brutal to.  It happens and even the best players will make mistakes.  I think some tend to focus on the rare exceptions as being evidence of a problem while ignoring the more fundamental issues troubling the Bills.

     

     

     

    Josh Allen had a bad game.  That's it, that's the whole point.  The INT was the most glaring part of it, which is why I highlighted the INT when responding to a post about how Allen had a bad game.  Hope that clears it up for you.

    Yall seem to have a very short memory. People saying this is partly due to josh being married now - give me a break. He was married the week before against kc and had a near perfect game. Most of you forget how absolutely anemic the offense was under Dorsey and daboll at times, with MUCH better receivers. I agree the bills need receiver help, and I've said since Diggs left that we need a true number 1, but Josh just had a terrible game this past week. I'm sure it wasn't ALL him. Let's see how this season plays out. There's not much we can do (player wise) at this point 


    The pick in the end zone was BRUTAL. I don’t care how bad the receivers were. Still brutal.

    Sure but he would be a complimentary piece here not a piece that changes the offense dramatically. He isn't the guy that can just flat out win outside against press coverage. Was that worth what it took to get him? I'd probably have been willing to offer a 4th this year and a 5th next year. But that isn't as good as the Seahawks offer. And that is about as high I'd have gone. 


    I suspect Beane felt similarly about Shaheed. I also suspect (based on the quotes from his presser) that he was trying to make a bigger move - Olave or Waddle most likely.

    I think all the Bills uniform combinations look good except for the all blues and reds. The Bills will be wearing their all-white throwbacks next week vs Tampa. 

     

    The all-whites are nice; I slightly prefer them vs white-over-blue.  The all-blues are okay but never my preference.  I think they look a little better for day games than night games.

     

    The all-red Union Suit look is ONLY acceptable during a heavy snow game.  Otherwise they just look like they're playing in their jammies.  Might as well put a buttflap on the red pants at this point.

    Same here… but a first from the Bills is totally less than a first from most other teams.  Point being, our first may not have been nearly enough.  Not to mention, the dolphins (and jets) are in bad shape.. but even they see the problem with trading a starting WR to Josh.


    Also, I just want to point out that the reporter said “a first and more”, not just a first. Sounds like the “and more” was probably like a high third or second or something. Given how low our picks are expected to be, I don’t think it’s crazy to assume that we’d have need to give our top 2 picks next year. 
     

    If so, would I still have done that? Maybe. It would be an overpay for sure, and I’ll never feel good about that. But overpaying for quality can still work out.

    Pure speculation on my part, but my guess is that we'll eventually find out he is dealing with an injury that is limiting him, similar to Rapp. CB was too good in past years to have his play drop like it has for no reason. Like Rapp, the options to let him sit and recover have been limited, so I suspect he has had to play through it.  Rapp isn't an All Pro, but he is much better than what he showed before going to IR.


    I had a tinfoil hat thought the other day along these lines. There’s been more injuries showing up in practice this year than any year I can remember. What if some of those are just the player deciding he can keep playing hurt/hiding the injury? What I mean is that a player is playing through injury for weeks, but hiding it from team officials so he doesn’t have to be listed on the injury report. At some point, he realizes it’s not getting better, so he “gets hurt” in the next practice, and all of a sudden is missing games. 
     

    Note: I don’t actually believe this. But I also can’t disprove it, and at this level of competition I wouldn’t put anything past these players.

    The Bills D held Mahomes to the lowest completion percentage of his career in the regular season. And okay his left tackle is out but he had all his weapons. 

     

    People will fixate on a couple of long conversions - most notably the 4th and 17 - but the Bills D overall played an excellent game. Even after that drive Mahomes had two more shots with the ball needing a TD to win and the Bills defense got it done. 

     

    And yes, Allen was excellent today. He said himself in the week he had to play better than he has the last handful of games for the Bills to win today, and he did. Hopefully he can maintain this focus because even with our injuries on defense if Josh plays like he did today the #1 seed is still possible.


    If we broadly keep playing like that, the 1 seed is highly probable.

    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’.

    Haven't read all the comments, but it seems that the gist of them is the Bills need some better receivers.  I'd like the Bills to have better receivers, too, but I'm not sure that's the problem. 

     

    I'd suggest that Joe Brady and perhaps Sean McDermott are the problems. And I think there are some pretty simple statistics that demonstrate why:

     

    In 4+ years in the league, playing on two lousy teams with lousy quarterbacks, Elijah Moore averaged 52 receptions for over 500 yards and 2 TDs over 17 games.  He is way below that average with the Bills and a HOF quarterback. He's on pace for 15 receptions and 200 yards. 

     

    In his years in the league, playing his first seven on two lousy teams and with lousy quarterbacks, Curtis Samuel averaged 55 receptions for  over 500 yards and four TDs over 17 games. He is way below that average with the Bills and a HOF quarterback. He's on pace for 10 receptions and 100 yards. 

     

    Somehow, coaches for the Jets and the Browns and the Panthers and Washingtons knew how to get the ball to these guys 600 yards per season, even though they didn't have Josh Allen throwing and they didn't have James Cook putting up 150 yards rushing. 

     

    Neither one of those guys is world-beater, but the production for both of them declined significantly as soon as they arrived in Buffalo and began playing for Brady and McDermott. 

     

      


    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.

    Kickoff returns for TDs.  You saw glimpses of speed and power.  He was disappointing his first two years, then became one of the greatest WRs of Bills History.
     

     If only we could have prime Moulds playing with prime Josh.

    The greatest Bills WR playing with ***** QBs.  Now we have the Bills greatest QB playing with ***** WRs.  

    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. 

  14. 6 hours ago, Pete said:

    Please do not ever use Keon and Moulds in the same sentence.  Moulds showed many signs of breaking out before his third year.  Moulds and Lee Evan’s are the best Bills WR the past 30 years 


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