eball Posted January 2 Posted January 2 Murray should have seen his last meaningful snaps for sure after this past weekend. No reason not to replace his snaps with Fournette going forward; Lenny has been there long enough to know the playbook and would be an upgrade. 4 1 Quote

It doesn't look as if they're giving up on Elam either. Douglas is playing at a high level at CB. I had seen some talk on the GB board that they thought with his size and tackling ability, he might spend the last couple of years of his career at FS. Quote

And I also believe the offense is way overdue for a dominate performance. This game is just itching to be a blow out win. Not to get over confident, but it just feels like like we're due. I like our chances but not not as confident. Road games have been tough going this season. Miami's injuries and the fact that they have clinched already give us a bit of an advantage. Quote

It doesn't look as if they're giving up on Elam either. For the 2024 roster at CB, they currently have White, Douglas, Elam, Benford, and Taron J. They'll probably ink Ingrahm and Brown from the current PS as well. I don't know if there will be much of a market for Dane Jackson and Cam Lewis, so both could also be back. White is certainly the big question mark for them, but if Elam finally gets it together, they will be in decent shape at the position. Yeah thats a great point and i wouldnt support an extension more than 2 years. Also I wouldnt gurantee any salary after 2024 (though would probably have a signing bonus that spreads across the remaining years). that can hopefully give us some cap flexibility which we need. Agree with Ingram and Brown being on the team next year (futures contract i think). Agree Dane is interesting. We are loaded and CB is always a need so I think Dane finds a home. Cam is a safety at this point and has completed his conversion from CB. I think we are in good to great shape at CB no matter what Elam does as we currently have an above average top pair, Tre as CB3, and Elam being CB4 under contract next year. 1 Quote
Ed_Formerly_of_Roch Posted January 2 Posted January 2 3 things for next year 1.They need a new strength and condition coach. In my 40 years of watching football, I have never seen a team lose so many top front line players in one season like I saw with the team this year. 2. McD must get an Defensive Coordinator to call the plays he designed at the right time and in the right situations. 3. McD needs to have an older assistant coach on the sidelines with him to serve as a calming voice. Because I am convinced that sometimes he is just not thinking straight in game situations. All that being said, next season (meaning 2024) should be make or break for him What does everyone think? Actually this was off the Miami message board and I just shorted McDanials to McD and changed the one word of offensive to defensive coordinator. Is kind of funny reading other teams board as you'd think from reading posts here, we're the only team in trouble like this. 1 1 Quote
zow2 Posted January 2 Posted January 2 Cowherd has the Bills #3 in his hierarchy. Loves the Oline and how they are not totally dependent on Allen in weeks. Says they have the look of an AFC Championship game team...but not sure they win it. Quote

BananaB Posted January 2 Posted January 2 (edited) 1 hour ago, RichRiderBills said: Some folks have discussed limiting Scherfield and Harty snaps, but I would potentially look to pull Murray for Fournette this week. I think Murray is pretty much done. Murray started strong but really fizzled out. His 300 yards and 4 TDs w 3.8 YPC is a bit short of what I had hoped for. He was a huge goat last week w a terrible drop and lackluster short yardage snaps. I'd look for someone new and fresh here. McDs weakness to not give up on veterans drags this team down at times.

BuffBills51 Posted January 2 Posted January 2 I’m interested to see the practice reports the next two days on Waddle. He is a huge part of their offense and makes it hard for teams to just focus on Hill. 1 Quote
WhitewalkerInPhilly Posted January 2 Posted January 2 Anyone have a line of the weather forecast? I know we are a ways out. Quote

I just don’t see the team activating a rookie for the playoffs that hasn’t played all year. But in all seriousness, would anyone even notice if Sherfeild and Harry were not in the game? Both of them have offered zero to the offense. If Von was benched, so should they be. Quote

Scott7975 Posted January 2 Posted January 2 2 hours ago, Boatdrinks said: This is more offseason talk than anything, but White has quite possibly played his last game as a Bill. He was a great player for sure, but expecting he will be able to return to form after an Achilles injury is wishful thinking. Probably a February release when his roster bonus is due. I dont expect him to return to form after that, but he was to form this season before injury. Quote

zow2 Posted January 2 Posted January 2 After the Ravens game Sunday, Tua mentioned twice in his presser how he knows better and should have checked it down to the wide open guys. He was lamenting that he forced the ball downfield when he didn't need to. The Bills need to be aware of his mindset coming into this. I think Miami will look to ball control it and it's hard to stuff all those fast guys if they want to play the check down game. 1 Quote

Is kind of funny reading other teams board as you'd think from reading posts here, we're the only team in trouble like this. 1) OL has been super healthy this year and Josh has the longest active starting streak for a QB over Mahomes by a lot. Combined with our recent history of not getting hurt (2017-2021) I think our luck just caught up with us the past two years. Maybe the criticism is the way they handled the London game, but that doesnt seem like a reason for firing if we have done well in the normal situations. 2) Why? like i would want him to get one but are you saying hes not calling the plays at the right time and situations? I think he is as we lately keep stiffening up when teams get in FG range. 3) Maybe. Hes not mistake free but also has some good decisions even lately. Wish he was getting more flowers for calling TO on 3rd and 1 with 2:41 to go when we were in shotgun. Coming out of TO did buffalo shove for a first down. I 100% disagree next season is a make or break season for him. We just set a franchise record for 5 seasons with 10 wins in a row. You totally lost me when you just said you copied it from Miami board. Start a new thread for this stuff and get it out of the game day thread please. Quote
