## Who this take is about

- Buffalo Bills — https://missedtakes.co/nfl/teams/bills

## What others said about the same people

- Randy Gurzi on Taylor Rapp: Gurzi argues that, given Brandon Beane's fondness for reunions, recently released safety Taylor Rapp is a realistic option to return to Buffalo for safety depth — though only if the Bills fail to land a starting-caliber safety at the trade deadline. — https://missedtakes.co/opinions/5fa74f1d-69bf-4aee-999a-17fe4b2b5175 (scored 0)
- Joe Marino on Taylor Rapp: Marino argues the Bills should and almost certainly will release safety Taylor Rapp to save cap space, saying he'd be stunned if Buffalo kept him. — https://missedtakes.co/opinions/6293af64-318f-43ba-b5be-7b2d42fabe29 (scored 100)
- Shanna McCarriston on Buffalo Bills: She picks the Bills to beat the Ravens in a close game at Highmark Stadium, with a final score of 33-30. — https://missedtakes.co/opinions/be1d8252-fa89-4334-9cda-6780cd429440 (scored 50)
- Ryan Wormeli on Buffalo Bills: Wormley expected the Bills to beat the Ravens and predicted the Jaguars would blow out a demoralized Colts team. — https://missedtakes.co/opinions/cc226632-db5c-46b5-87cb-f22ef2ccfe54 (scored 100)
- Nick Wright on Buffalo Bills: Wright picked Buffalo to beat Baltimore in Lamar Jackson's return game, argued the Bills' much-maligned defense will climb to roughly 24th in the league rather than finishing 30th, expects Jacksonville to beat the Ravens four days later, and said a win in Denver would make 12 wins Kansas City's floor. — https://missedtakes.co/opinions/c597cd66-46e9-4cd1-b562-93b413d2c20b (scored 100)
- Connor Rogers on Buffalo Bills: Rogers picked straight-up winners across the Week 8 slate, siding with the Bills over the Ravens, the Lions, Steelers, Jaguars, Bengals, Falcons, Raiders, Broncos, Rams, Patriots, Commanders and the Bears in Seattle. — https://missedtakes.co/opinions/14b3a81b-ba4d-4270-b122-8cfe7fc959b0 (scored 100)
