Kalil didn't have a good game but let's not go off half cocked. Let's see how he does in the next couple of weeks before we freak out.

 

 

Yeah I know...I might as well be shouting into the wind.

His brother being out was a big loss for our line today. Larsen is good, but cam and Ryan have a rapport that only comes from years of working together. Time for a get right game against the saints

fair but it seems whitworth went to the rams quickly how much are you going to guarantee to a player that  old?

Everybody talks about how old he is but they were quick to want to give TD an extension.

And so what if he regress a little in his "old age", he goes from a top 3 LT to top 10?

As far as guaranteed money goes, I would prefer to give $30 million for two years to someone who has been a top 3 tackle in the recent past (last year) than $24m for someone you are "hoping" can become that.

Couldn't hurt to kick the tires on some other OTs floating around. I couldn't believe the size of his contract, but I could never really figure out what Gettleman was doing with this team.

The Bills defense is excellent, and I think Matt can do much better against most of the teams remaining on the schedule. The bottom line is that this team is going to do poorly against teams heavily built to stop the run. The top run defense teams are going to give us fits.

Our red zone woes actually are not that bad. One TD was batted down on a miracle play, and another sure TD was just missed on an inexplicably poor throw by Cam. 14 points right there, and against that Bills defense that's good. Cam should actually stop after he rolls out and throw with his feet set. He'd get better results imo.

Matt is consistently one of the worst tackles in football. 

I can say the same for Remmers and still would be right.

Matt it appears struggles with speed around the edges, Remmers was horrible against bull rushes and speed, both are meh as pass blockers. I think Matt is an upgrade in run blocking.

    • Yeah and I am doubtful he can offer that consistently. I don’t have many years left at my age and in my view we have wasted two and this whole exercise with him was always a three year minimum.  I am out on that with a guy I don’t believe in, and never believed in, it has sucked. To me it is a costly detour off the right track. Years.    But I am not so rigid that I can’t see excellence. He needs to display it though, consistently before I change my outlook.  
    • No, when I said rage, I meant rage, which only applies to certain fans on this board. Your timeline of trying to assess whether he is the future or not is really tied to the discussions surrounding his second contract. If this team is going to commit to some monster contract while he has shown nothing but glimpses of brilliance would be deservedly worrisome, so the clock is genuinely ticking for him to settle into something resembling his final form. Perhaps a best case scenario is that he plays well, the team succeeds, but he does so with a more limited role that makes the rest of the league view him as a game manager, and his second contract value reflects that. Then he continues to improve and becomes a bargain comparatively while not handicapping the team around him, and we enter an era of consistent championship competitiveness that the fanbase has craved for decades and has never really experienced before. But that requires many, many things to go right and for Bryce himself to facilitate that if he ends up being the quarterback of the future.
    • Exactly. And the flame throwers as well, get location benefits from not going all out. But they have it in reserve.  Not sure how much Greg had but he was an artist.  There was a YouTube I came across last year or maybe even 2023 and I don’t how to even find now but it had two NFL QBs I want say one was Carr from the Raiders but I don’t really remember  The point of it is they stood side by side throwing identical distances to identical targets. Radar gun was used.  They threw the normal effort (not all out) and it was measured etc. Then they were asked to throw their ‘fastball’. They were missing and most often they were missing high. It demonstrated the same principle.    edit: and applying that to arm strength, give me the guy that doesn’t need max effort to have good velocity. The margins are so narrow with less velocity in tne NFL the defenders can Close on it and this is a league where they value down to the 100th of a second level. It is that tight
