Keon and Kincaid are going to make this offense unstoppable 👀

I get all that, but to Einstein’s example, teachers get paid the same whether one kid shows up or 20 kids show up to class one any particular day. It’s not really relevant to the (off-topic) discussion. I think the library example is more relevant. Governments make books available for people to borrow and read, which takes away potential purchases of books people might otherwise make. Why is that not considered stealing, yet people watching a stream online that someone makes available are considered to be stealing? In both cases, people are taking advantage of opportunities to consume something with no direct reimbursement to the source.

⬆️ DoucheSwedeSezWhat? 😂

How do you see that happening? And when?

Very odd.

The love is mutual. I am pleased you spent valuable spamming-time translating my hashtag. Well done! #Självmål

Exactly. Spencer Brown would be another rookie who played. To play under McDermott, especially on defense, the rookie has to play better than the alternative. And that isn't just "display more physical talent", that's know the playbook, know their assignment in the playbook, and be able to read and interpret their keys pre and post snap during the stress and sheer physical exertion of an actual game. What people don't seem to take into account when they say "McDermott won't play rookies" (or "Levy didn't play rookies" for that matter) is that since 2019, the Bills have had a top-10 defense (on points) every year but 2020 (when they were dealing with a shitton of of turnovers and the offense was so hot the D may have relaxed a bit) and 2024 (when they were 11th by 4 points with a meaningless Week 18 game). 4 of those 6 years, the D was top-5 on points. In the same period of time, the number of defenders recognized with pro-bowl or all-pro honors can be counted on one hand. Tre' White and Edmunds (2x). Poyer (2x). Milano. I think that's it. 2 years, it's been "no one". Wrap your mind around that - a #4 and a #10 offense with zero, zip, zilch, none, no defensive players recognized by people around the league as top-notch. That's because the primary thing for a defender in this defense, is to be assignment-sound and work together. What does that mean? We've had some posters here who've pulled back the curtain a bit - @HoofHearted, @Buffalo716, sometimes @Simon (who quietly played ball into middle age), I'm sure I'm missing some. It's not just the offensive formation and the plays the opposing offense tends to run. It's being attuned to dozens of little tells pre-snap. Spacing. Hand position. Head position. Foot position. And then after the snap, each defender's assignment changes depending on what routes are actually run and how they are run. And the defensive players communicate with each other post-snap using body language just as the receivers and QB communicate. I remember a play, against NE I think it was, when Hyde took a horrible angle and a play went for a big gain. One of the film guys broke down the play and pointed out that Dodson, filling in at LB, had mis-directed Hyde with body language that conveyed to Hyde "take the other gap, I've got this one", except from his body position and leverage, he didn't. So Hyde started for what should have been the open side and had to put on the brakes and chase the play. That's part of what's meant when McDermott says something like "I can't put someone out there the other players don't trust" - it's not just knowing the assignment pre snap then how it changes post snap depending on what the skill players do, it's communicating clearly and correctly with the other defenders through body language and positioning, while not giving away the defensive call with your own pre-snap "tells". See above

Good point. Also, expecting a rookie to play a full NFL schedule PLUS playoffs is a lot to ask.

😂

Wait till inflation actually hits.

kick the tires? Beane drawing it up now:

Found Quack

Activated.

who did Chase set the market for? who else got that money? your whole premise is that the WR market is "actually insane" because the top 5 WR's are making a few points more of the cap than they were in 2018? that's checking in at something less than insane for me.....

lol the top WR salary was a percentage of the cap. Now you are getting into apples and orangutans comparisons.

The cap has risen 56% over the time that top WR % went up 3%. There is 1 WR making what Chase is making. No other WR contact signed in 2025 was close to his AAV. so we are comparing outliers.

My gf is buying her dad gifts but won't get my anything even though she calls me daddy all the time

so we can hear them formulating their bad calls? what problem does this solve? Half the viewers will say "yup--that's how I saw it, good call!" the rest will cry and say they are incompetent and the league's fixed. same results.

He wouldn’t have gotten a salary of $1M in FA. I didn’t mention you could or couldn’t talk about anyone. Not sure what argument you’re trying to have. Except for Diggs who we did pay massively with his extension in 2022. You can’t even get the basic facts straight to have whatever discussion you think you’re having.

multiplying his yards per target by an imaginary and impossible number of targets really doesn't make much of an argument. By your thinking, it would make more sense to target Coleman over Shakir. If Coleman had 160, he would have had over 1500 yards.....

Dam Kelly's wind up throwing the ball is so slow

Um, no. Me: "Cooper indeed wasn't a free agent. Which has nothing to do with how much he was paid and which team acquired him. We got him. Cheap. Other teams didn't. We did." You: "Cooper being traded for at his existing salary, which was less than $1M instead of being a free agent signing had EVERYTHING to do with how much he was paid by the Bills." Yeah, as a careful reader will immediately note, that's you missing my point. I said him not being a free agent had nothing to do with how much he was paid. Trade or FA, you acquire a guy with a salary of less than $1M and that's all that matters to your argument, not that we had to trade something away to get him. You misunderstand and argue that the salary he was paid affected ... what, um, the salary he was paid? Yeah, um, DUH!! Redundant and unresponsive much? You were trying to legislate out trades, because they didn't fit your narrative. Not all trades by the way, just the ones you found inconvenient to your argument. We can apparently talk about Diggs, according to you, but not Cooper, because he's not convenient for the thrust of your argument. So then I point out that your argument is about money, not about whether the Bills traded something away to acquire the contract. You skip right past that and pretend ... I guess your argument was that "his existing salary ... had EVERYTHING to do with how much he was paid by the Bills," apparently trying to assume that I didn't know that his salary equalled his salary? Yeah, I was pretty aware of that. I can't imagine anyone not being aware of it. The Bills strategy since they got here has been pretty consistent. Go after WRs you don't have to pay massively for, not the massive splash types. Trades, FA, whatever, don't swing for the fences financially for WRs. And even more so with RBs. Use TEs and RBs to try to fill in the pass game. And again, they have had tremendous offensive success with this approach.

Allen had 2 of them.

Josh obviously thought not. How many WRs had at least 586 snaps vs how many got over 160 targets? Allen was clearly forcing targets Diggs's way--look what happened in Digs's yardage over his Buffalo career--all over 150 targets. 350 fewer yards.
