The rooms were so much colder then My father was a soldier then And times were very hard When I was young I smoked my first cigarette at ten And for girls, I had a bad yen And I had quite a ball When I was young

Chase wasn't in the 2018 or 2019 draft. The first WR drafted in the 2019 draft was Marquise Brown in the 20s. In hindsight, maybe we could have taken Simmons or Sweat or Burns and be marginally better off, but DL was the right pick at that point. The real miss that year was Cody Ford, but guys like AJ and DK weren't slam dunks at the time. In fact, lots of people on this board hated DK. As for 2018...in hindsight maybe staying at 22 and getting DJ Moore or Calvin Ridley would have been better. But who knows if we trade for Diggs? Or sign John Brown. Wrong year. We took Ford in 2019. Higgins was 2020. We missed on Brown and Metcalf, though.

Yikes. With the Bills luck, our WRs will come through, play better than anyone expected and Bass will undo it all with a bad kick. If his struggles continue for long, they need to look at other options.

I see a lot of his games on local TV. He has not been the player that he was projected to be. Some of it has been coaching and some has been the team around him. Even considering those issues, he seems to have underachieved. He makes the throws that you see average QB's make but he hardly every makes the throws that elite passers pull off. He also comes up small in big moments in games.

Ooooo okay. that makes more sense. QB’s aside, I 1000% take the Bengals roster of the last 3 years. They are better at all the important positions. We have had great safeties and linebackers and running backs. Oh hey, don’t forget we took Cody Ford in our sucky year when they took Tee Higgins lol

Bro Allen is part of the deal

Dude 100%. What? You can’t talk about WR’s being force multipliers for franchise QB’s for like 24 months and then change your tune now. I would trade rosters with the Dolphins, the Niners, the Eagles, the Bengals this SECOND. Josh would have 60+ tuddies with a stable of great pass catchers. Sure, they will have to pay Chase $30M but at least he’s a star. We are paying big money to stiffs like Von and Knox to do what, exactly? This is what I’m talking about. The Bills roster has been sooooo overrated lol

So Zac Taylor must just be an elite coach given that he’s dominated the Bills and has gone 2-1 against the Chiefs in the regular season and 1-1 in the postseason.

That was awesome! Burr is my fave comic since prime Chris Rock (Bigger and Blacker is unbeatable). It's a shame that he's a Boston fan but understandable. Needed a good chuckle for a Friday morning... Cheers!

nothing against you....just the newest phrase out there

You know we won 6 games with a rookie Josh and picked Oliver in the top 10, right? You know we had 2 first round picks in 2018 and picked an amazing QB, and a MLB who is quite literally just “okay” and doesn’t play here no mo? The Bengals took Burrow and Chase in their 2 sucky years. We took Josh, Edmunds and Oliver. Chase >>>>> Edmunds+Oliver, obviously.

Ronnie Harmon short arming the playoff game winning touchdown pass from Jim Kelly with 9 seconds to go in the game!!!!

It's possible Josh punts another year to retouch his deal as the cap going up and up is only going to benefit his contract demands. However, it is usually not the players that make these demands, for a big big big contract like Josh's it is going to be his agent who presses the issue and I think Josh likely would let his agent handle it. This is all speculation but I think that given how agents don't like to have a top tier client occupy a "team friendly" deal for too long I think the agent is going to push the issue to at least get more cash short term and push the larger scale deal off a year.

You're not swapping rosters w the Bengals over the last 3 years foh w this

What worries me is even the ones he makes look like he wants to miss.

In 2019, Zac Taylor and the Bengals went 2-14. In 2020 draft, they picked Joe Burrow #1 overall, and then picked Tee Higgins with the first pick in the second round. The Bills traded their pick, #22, for Steph Diggs. Hindsight 20/20 maybe we should have picked a WR there instead, but I wouldn't call that a bad move in context. The Bengals went 4-11-1 in 2020 and almost got Joe Burrow killed. Zac Taylor won 6 games in 2 years. With the #5 pick, they draft Jamar Chase. The Bills picked 30th that year. The Bengals built that team because they won 6 games in two years. It wasn't amazing GM or coaching decisions. Higgins went 33 in 2020. For the Bills to get him they wouldn't have had Diggs. Diggs>Higgins from 2020-2023. He'd also be tied with Coleman for the 4th highest drafted player on the team since 2020.

Looks like ol Ty-Ty has put up quite the security barrier on his site. We need Delta Team 7 mega hackers on this one, stat.

Best player is tough. most impactful? Yeah probably. The 20-25th best WR is probably more impactful than the 3rd best LB.

And Beane didn’t draft that linebacker. As far as Higgins goes, I don’t think anyone would dispute that he would be the best player on the Bills not named Josh Allen.

Yeah they no work. It stops at the same spot the free part does.

I always suspected that Beane gave the green light for the hit piece on McDermott.

This is where I can’t take some of these breakdowns of Dorsey vs Brady seriously though. When Brady took over, it was go time. We dug ourselves a hole and had to win. Josh Allen unleashed is the best player in the NFL. Someone wants to say Mahomes or McCaffrey, whatever, go argue with a wall. But that’s not sustainable over a long season. We shouldn’t have Josh Allen running all over Arizona on Week 1. What was notable was Allen’s weird low positive vibes under Dorsey and the fact he seemed like he wouldn’t run … even when the scramble was wide open. He has to do that. Every mobile QB does that, every game. So, what does Brady’s Offense look like with a full offseason of install, along with a healthy 2-TE set and an overhaul at WR? No clue, and I’m not sure last year really provides much a clue aside from the fact he will run the ball against light boxes until you prove you can stop it.

Elite JAG

Next year, with the projected cap space, will be a good time to extend and level out the salary. Allen is worth every dollar that he will earn. Allen and Mahomes should be the two highest paid guys and I have a hard time justifying any of the other guys being above them. Contract timing and desperate teams have driven considerable disparity, as it always will.
