Not too much to see here.

Looking forward, not backwards.

Marquis Goodwin leads 49ers in receiving last night.

3 young QBs with good stats in this game: Beathard, Sloter and Seimens all with good stats. Chad Kelly did not play as he is rehabbing. It looks like he's headed for IR.

The Bronco's needed a 3rd QB b/c of Kelly's injury. They signed UDFA, Sloter. He went 7 for 7 last night. They think they have a keeper in him. More: Broncos force five turnovers and might have closed in on a QB decision (http://www.espn.com/blog/denver-broncos/post/_/id/27470/broncos-force-five-turnovers-in-win-as-they-also-may-have-closed-in-on-qb-decision)

Chiefs stats make Bengals defense look poor. Mahomes & Alex Smith with pretty good stats.

CJ Spiller had 6 carries for 27 yards and a 4.5 average. Not bad. He made the most of his chance. But he was 4th in rushing yards for the Chiefs.

Bengals gave up 228 yards rushing. KC gave up 72 yards rushing.

You miss any of the players the Bills have parted ways with? Which ones? Why?

EJ was EJ last night. Connor Cook played a lot better in the battle for the Raiders #2 QB.

EJ looked terrible last night. Before he came in it actually was a pretty decent football game. Short hopped 15 yard outs, inaccurate on 4 yard dump offs....he hasn't changed a bit.

From today's Albany Times Union:
Injuries
Patriots: RB Mike Gillislee (hamstring) sat out for the second straight week

Why are Darby and Bradham missing from your list? Guess because they did not play last night.

Give me back Bradham, Darby, Gilmore, and Watkins. It's doubly hilarious that we've wasted picks trying to replace the void left by Bradham and we've come up short. Same thing will happen with Darby, hell we already spent a pick replacing Gilmore.

Also, tackles don't mean **** for a corner.

Sammy dropped a TD in the end zone. He also gave up on a scramble play in the end zone on the same drive. This is where OBJ, Mike Evans, elevate - they drop passes too, but beast mode isn't something I've seen from Sammy. Shocking catches when the QB just tosses up a mini-hail mary. He doesn't seem like the type to wrestle the ball away. On this play, he saw the safety on top, and stopped moving! Goff ran out of bounds.

Sammy is like a SYSTEM power WR. No magic.

He's the only player I'd miss this year - this year only.

Bradham wasn't ever that good. One season he showed a little. Not missed at all.

I was looking forward to seeing if Darby could find his rookie magic with a new D-coordinator.

Gilmore cost too much money for what he is.

Watkins? IDK. I lean toward agreeing with toe jam. He's got potential, but hasn't shown to be spectacular over a season.

I'm over it.

These guys are gone, I'd sooner not dwell on their performance elsewhere. Especially since I expect a number of them to thrive.

The current roster gives me enough to ***** about without seeking reasons outside of Buffalo to get irritated.

It was a good move in retrospect to let him walk. JWill is looking good, and I like what I've seen of Banyard.

Yeah he was...but like just about everyone else under Rex, he was misused.

Put your LB's at the LOS and fake a blitz;
Never blitz;
Offense runs wide while the LB's are caught in the junk at the LOS;

People say, "hey, where the hell are our LB's? They really suck".

Nah.

He did well in Philly last year, his numbers are back up to his 2014 level and only his dumbass off the field problems will keep him from doing well.

He can run, can pursue (when given the chance) and can cover.

I would have drafted Chad and stashed him on IR for this season also.

Haven't heard or seen much from Uncle Jim regarding the team since the draft, either...or is it just me?

I wouldn't have had a problem taking them..even if they took Peterman...and even if they took Mahomes.

(I've always seen him with Mahomes-type talent, but not the accuracy, and with infinitely more baggage.)

I heard Kelly told him after the draft to keep his mouth shut and work.

We'll see how that goes.

I'll miss Robert Woods. He had some really, really nice catches for us at times and he's one of the best blocking receivers I've ever seen. I wanted to see what he was capable of on a team coached by a normal human and not Football Trump.

He was fine for what he was being paid on his rookie deal. The Rams sorely overpaid him.

I, too, think he was a much better WR than what you got to see as a Bill. He had lousy coaches & QBs in his time here.

Will it be any better in LA? And he had a lot of injuries, which isn't the fault of the coaches or QB's.

I don't think it had anything to do with coaches or teammates, it was all about Sammy not able to stay on the field, period!
