Fournette signing is just fine. He's still capable and can catch the ball. And more importantly, I think he immediately becomes our best pass-blocking back.

Lots of smoke that Suh is the other guy the Bills are close to signing. Likely to the PS, as well.

Wellllllllllll THAT would be interesting. Certainly seemed to have some gas left in the tank at the end of last year.

Y'all have to much power
It was referencing the Roquan trade. I also can't see a world where it would be a straight swap, if Beane could pull it off
. It has also been mentioned that Sf and Dallas are jockeying for him as well

Allen's no joke. I think PFF has him as the highest rated QB this season. My pick would probably be Tyreek, because the Dolphins wouldn't be anywhere without him. But, Allen's been more efficient then every before, and his big play potential hasn't dropped off.

He ain't what he once was......but playing as part of the rotation? I'd take him here. Certainly gotta be better than Poona, who's been invisible.
He's been very visable, have you seen him in a crop top?
I mean, not during games though.

Sal C's "theory" today is a Derek Henry trade to Baltimore was not progressing and they started looking at Fournette, so the Bill's acted quickly today to sign him. He does mention him as insurance for Murray. Also mentioned Harris is contemplating his nfl career.
Latavius Murray has been stopped at the one-yard line and failed to score a TD on the same drive an NFL-high 4 times this season. Fournette will bowl motherf***ers over in those situations. Great signing.

I don’t think Fournette will be any better at running out of shotgun from the 1 yard line. That’s the problem.

Im not one to shake my head a coaching decisions, but Dorsey deciding to hand the ball off at the goaline rather than a QB sneak last game really irked me.
What's Allen's conversion rate on QB sneaks? I would've ran that play twice on the goaline.

I like to call this the "Daboll Effect". Daboll was notorious for getting cute when he should have been simple.

Preparing PHASE TWO!
Even if they just hand it off from under center at least the RB gets a running start. Out of the shotgun they're just sitting there waiting for the handoff. It's infuriating in short yardage.

Would I like to see us take a swing at a guy like Jaylon Johnson? Absolutely.
Do I think we're "woefully inadequate" in the secondary? No, no I do not. The CBs we have contained Mike Evans pretty damned well Thursday until the stupid bounce. Do I think that Cincy's WRs are going to eviscerate us? Yep......but they whallop a LOT of secondaries.
I think even moreso now that McD's taken control of the defense -- it all comes down to pressure by the D-line with the front 4. I think Benford/Jackson/Johnson and hell even Elam to an extent can cover adequately enough for 3-4 seconds. Then it's up to the D-line.
If I had to rank my personal "areas that I'd like to see us address in the next 24 hours", it'd be:
1.) Legit pass-rushing option/rotational option next to Oliver
2.) Legit cover LB (Josey Jewell???)
3.) Legit blocking TE (ie, NOT a 6th guard)
4.) Depth swing tackle
5.) Starting-caliber boundary CB

The backfill for the DaQuan Jones injury at 1-tech DT is my #1 need right now.
WLB and CB are the only two other spots for me.
I think the personnel is fine on offense. They just need to continue to develop chemistry and consistency with execution on that side of the ball.

After listening to state run…err…Bills run media with Chris Brown and company talk about the need to add defense by tomorrow’s deadline I was so pleased to read Barnwell on ESPN.com finally say what actually makes sense. They can’t replace Milano and White on defense. They should add to the offense to try and win shootouts. He’s right. They’ll be wrong. Middling the roster build has been their ultimate undoing every year. Make the thing you can do good great…not the thing you can do ok slightly better.
How good the defense is never matters when you face a top QB in the playoffs anyway. They’ve been trying that for years. Every time they get got by a QB who can beat any defense when they’re on. And Josh is always a weapon short of matching them.

Have you ever acknowledged any of the hundred posts that explained we spent every significant asset on offense this off-season. They could not have focused on offense any more than they did
