Maybe Beane isn't drafting well or acquiring good players

Well that aught to trigger some folk here, 🤣

There wasn’t a single guy we cut that I was concerned about. The only 2 guys I even wanted to keep that left was Gore and Cain. The team is super too heavy. Cuts were probably very easy. Just not any backend depth on the roster

Maybe it is time to calm down about the fringe roster players and preseason standouts? Every year when guys get cut it’s, “oh they’ll get claimed for sure.” Well no claim for Kingsley Jonathan, Shavers, Hardy, Gore, or superstar tight end Zach Davidson.

I think that you can look at it either way. It’s either, “calm down all of those guys will be back on the PS” OR “not one of those guys got claimed? The Bills have had players claimed every years since 2018. Maybe this roster and depth isn’t as good as it was?”

Bills according NFL have signed Gore Jr to practice squad

trying to make this my last thought on this-he is small and slow. he is a third stringer that looks good against 4th stringers, he was never asked to pass protect which is a hint as well.

 

This is the Bills being good citizens and respecting the contribution of Gore Sr to the league by rostering him for a year to see what happens. Best of luck to the kid- he has heart and instinct but these 2 things can't overcome his poor NFL physical attributes. Hope he has fun  and he proves all us realists wrong but let's stop anointing the kid.

 

He is now in the DaRick, Chroise, Wildgoose etc. etc. hall of fame.

How many cuts from the Bills were taken on waivers the last few years? I feel like just a couple.

 

According to Gunner's research the most in the NFL the last 4 years...

He posted this in another thread.

 

That has led to cutdown day resulting in the Bills losing guys they would have liked on their practice squads. I knew they were top 3 in that category, I'd heard that in a podcast but I thought it was with the 49ers and the Ravens... it turns out it is the 49ers and the Jets (anomaly, more to come). Since 2020 the teams who have had the most roster claims on guys waived at cutdown day are:

 

1. Buffalo Bills (10)

2. New York Jets (9)

3. San Francisco 49ers (8)

=4. Kansas City Chiefs (6)

=4. Philadelphia Eagles (6)

On a tangential but somewhat unrelated note:

If you're ever arguing with your wife and you want to guarantee to make things 10 times worse, tell her to "relax" or "calm down".

I think that we're all too involved in parts of the game that fans didn't used to pay attention to. The combine is televised and mock drafts are a thing. People have strong reactions to 7th round picks. Then we get a lot more access via social media to training camp practices. So we form strong opinions about players when we don't really have the full information. Then, when we start sharing those opinions on social media and message boards, two things happen. First of all, a sort of groupthink sets in where those opinions become narratives and then facts. Secondly, the Internet doesn't allow people to change their hot takes because everyone has "receipts." Long story short, no one stressed about end of the roster cuts in the 90's because we had no idea who these guys were. Now we have enough info to form opinions but not enough to form informed opinions. 

 

Reminds me of "wrong" Josh who some actually bet money on being picked and refused narrative that Bills actually picked right QB.  Beane and Coach McD actually thought so well of him they brought the owners to meeting with him pre draft ((they did not do so for visits on other prospective QBs).

"Shavers Clears Waivers" sounds like the worst Dr. Seuss book of all time.

 

I would buy a bunch of copies and give them to children I dislike.

Last year there were two claimed on waivers, both were the teams 7th round picks in the 2023 NFL draft. I am sure in the McD era there maybe have been 1-2 others but I think it happening last season to two players made fans more paranoid about it. It can happen and I did think there was a chance it could happen with Hardy but it was unlikely.

Okay, IR Spector and sign Hardy 

 

So only carry 5 LB's so we can have 7 CB's (more like 8 with Cam Lewis being a CB and S) and 12 DB's total?
