Not sure why the staff keeps releasing Ankou. I actually thought he might get a call up this week to stuff the run. 

He still could but won't have the game packages so it's not likely.

Wait Anthony brown was Lamar’s backup in 2022??

It's not about raiding the playbook, it's about having a guy running the scout team who can run and throw. You want Mike White doing it?

Quote

Brown signed with the Baltimore Ravens as an undrafted free agent on May 6, 2022.[17] He was waived on August 30, 2022, and signed to the practice squad the next day.[18][19] He was elevated from the practice squad on December 11 to backup Tyler Huntley due to an injury to Lamar Jackson.[20] On the same day, he made his first career appearance in Week 14 against the Pittsburgh Steelers after Huntley was knocked out of the game with a concussion. Brown completed 3 of 5 passes for 16 yards and helped the Ravens win 16–14.[21][22][23] He was signed to the active roster on December 31. Brown would start in the Ravens Week 18 game against the Cincinnati Bengals due to Jackson and Huntley being injured. He threw for 286 yards, but also committed three turnovers as the Ravens lost 16–27.[24]

On August 29, 2023, Brown was waived by the Ravens and re-signed to the practice squad.[25][26] He was released on September 4

I bolded the teams that have rebuilt and been to several conferences championships and/or SB's that were picking in the top 15 since we have had Josh Allen playing like a top tier QB

Yeah I saw that post already. You said there were teams consistently doing better than us. Or are you saying that consistently other teams can go from picking in the top 15 (lol top 10 or top 5 would make this compelling rather than clearly good teams that had a down year and missed playoffs, SF, PHI, LAR being "bad" teams is laughable) to making the Super Bowl. Cause yeah welcome to the parity of the NFL. I still contend you’re mostly showing me info on when teams played the chiefs. If we were in the NFC we would have been to the SB. That’s the problem most peeps have with your analysis.

Ravens should sign Derek Anderson - 4d chess

When?

Earlier today. Was also on the roster back in August.

[YoloinOhio]

Hey our local radio guys are making bets on the KC-Ravens game! Cool cool 

[Allen2Moulds]

This is a 4.7 guy, don't see how he has the quicks to emulate Lamar in practice.  Why not KJ Hamler?  

I mean, the coaches obviously know better, but that's just my take.

Chiefs have plenty of early round misses the last few years. Anudike-Uzomah looks pretty eh, their biggest need was OT and they’ve whiffed badly in back to back years early on wanya morris and suamata.  The jawaan taylor FA acquisition was pretty meh also. They also pretty rarely hit late in the draft.  The bills are getting as many big time contributors or more in every draft but everyone gets hung up on the round for some reason despite a very late first rounder being far from a sure thing historically.

 

2020 I’d say the chiefs were the best roster hands down and other teams bills included have closed the gap.  A 2 game playoff sample size of impossibly close games is just way too small to conclude anything 

 

 

so then explain why they win, if it isnt player, then its coaching right? My original point stemmed from those that believe that McDermott is the right coach to get us to a SB and Win one. My point was I dont see it anymore and I am not just blaming him. Beane is on the hook too. Yes, he hits on later round picks, but our premier picks that he holds onto and refuses to trade for top flight players, he misses on badly, so why not trade them and get players that you know are good?

[Kelly to Allen]

I'm going to say this now. Roquan Smith is a dirty player and tried to cheap shot Josh Allen in the last game. A few ravens tried to cheap shot Allen in the head in the 22 game as well. They took cheap shots at mahomes in the AFC championship last year too....

 

I can guarantee if there's any dirty hits on Allen,  Dion Dawkins, Spencer Brown and Alec Anderson are going to create a bench clearing brawl.

Cause he can throw as well as run.  Hamler can't spin it like lamar can.

So all NFC teams except Cinci. Teams that don't have to go through KC, like I pointed out to you earlier. The NFC doesn't have a team like Mahomes and the Chiefs. At least not on a year by year basis.

I think it's both. Any insight into the Ravens playback is beneficial... plus our defense can get used to a mobile threat QB

Today, the Bills are the number 2 scoring and red zone offense in the NFL.  They beat the chiefs and lions and all without Diggs.  What on earth are you gripping about?  

Personally, I don't want another Watkins draft nor a diggs veteran signing.  Pre Madonnas don't thrive in Buffalo.  This is not that kind of city nor fans.

Our offense is ready for a Lombardi now.  Our defense needs some help.  If not this year then at least one of the next 3 years we will get there i think.  Assuming josh stays healthy.

 

As for last off season, the Bills had no money to spend. 

 

We say this, but what are we wanting to be better moving forward?

 

McDermott clearly has a style and that style involves an undersized defense that plays base Nickel.

 

We could certainly upgrade at DT and Safety, but the plan for Safety next year will likely be two guys on this roster in Rapp/Bishop.  The Linebackers will be Milano, Bernard and Williams.  Taron will be the Nickel.  We probably draft a CB high to compete with Elam opposite Benford, and that guy is replacing a solid/good CB in Rasul.  The DE's could be upgraded but I could see them bringing back Smoot, they'll likely pay Rousseau, AJ will be back and will whoever we have next year (outside a blockbuster trade), definitely be better than Von right now?

 

I can't accept DT being a valid excuse if we don't advance, when we paid Oliver, paid Daquan, and drafted a DT in RD3, after taking a S who barely plays as a rookie in RD2.  

 

We are healthy.  Figure it out and go win.
