When are the outs in Wharton's contract 

he really is awful, been patient to say it, but god damn, we are so much better when hes not in the game and bobby brown is in the game, atleast he plays NT, Tershawn just collects a check and goes home.

Not until 2027 dead cap would only be $4.8 million. If we cut him next year it would be $23.7 million in dead cap.

Gotta be honest, I clicked in half suspecting that Dalton would be in the PFF top 5 . . .

Nick Scott once again at the bottom of the barrel. For the life of me I can’t understand what Evero sees in that JAG.

Pretty sure he hurt Trevon Wallace on a tackle instead of James "I Cook the Panthers".  Dude is now taking our guys off the field too enough with this madness!

[ImfromClayton]

Checks out. I thought the o line was fine except right tackle. That spot was consistently bad Sunday. T-Mac is ridiculously good. 
 

I am surprised at some of those defensive grades. We had no answer for that toss play. I expect to see it a lot moving forward. Crazy to say this but I didn’t even think Josh Allen was that good on Sunday. 
 

XL continues to be a really tough eval. When he’s good, he’s dominant. He just completely disappears to often, and does the weirdest stuff. Stepping out of bounds for no reason on a route. Holding a block downfield. If he ever puts it together he’s going to be very good, but costly mistakes hurt him. You can tell by snap counts they love what he does. And he is max effort all the time.

Playing the bad teams early gave a sense that things were better than they are and playing the good teams when they are hitting their stride on the way to the playoffs are going to be brutal. The yearly stats are already adjusting hard. A bottom 1/3 O and a D dropping fast into the middle 3rd and falling.

Horn, Tremayne, and Evans need more snaps on offense. Horn especially, he's a spark and one of our only players capable of making a big play. 

On defense...get Nick Scott the fug out of here please. Let Ransom play and learn. And when Moehrig's specialty is basically being a linebacker, and giving up an untouched TD to Cook when he whiffed (which he does too much)...oof. 

Draft a legit LB and a legit Safety in 2026.

Can't believe Nick Scott didn't have the lowest PFF grade for us. Guy was somehow way worse than his typical awful self. Also don't understand how Cherelus got that high of a score when he was directly responsible for the TD Buffalo scored after Wallace got injured...

Didn't watch much of Curhan once BC got hurt. Even if it was against backups, seems like that was a pretty good PFF score. Like usual, left side of the oline continues to be elite; say a prayer next week for the right side of the oline vs. the Packers pass rush...

[Jay Roosevelt]

Pretty bad showing for the QB when he makes the worst list but the entire top-5 on offense are all WRs and OL.
