I have no issues with new threads, just pointing out every single "____ says ____ about the Bills!" thread inevitably gets merged with THIS thread. That's why I gave a heads-up that this thread exists.

I know, the heat and all. But I've enjoyed the Buffalo v the heat/Miami v the snow rivalry. Kinda wish they'd keep that going.

I'm just happy elite RBs are finally getting paid again. People have been treating the position like anyone is easily replaced, yet time & time again RBs come along that prove this untrue. Henry & Saquon deserve to be paid like the star players they are. It's why I'm annoyed that Bills fans don't want to pay James Cook $13 - $15 million a year. After wasting years of Josh Allen's career trying to find a running game, they finally found a guy that can provide one. For a position that's supposedly a "dime a dozen" & easy to replace, the Bills failed time & time again to establish a legit run game. Meanwhile, under-performing defensive players, who were already getting paid more than Cook (despite Cook having significantly higher impact on the team's success) get extended & paid way more. Buffalo just extended Rousseau to a $20 million a year contract... with his whopping 6 sacks a season. But nah, don't pay the guy who contributed 1,200+ yards & 18 total TDs, because he's "JUST" a RB. And this is after Josh Allen's passing numbers dropped significantly, which in turn reduced his huge amount of turnovers, leading to our best scoring offense ever, all because we had a reliable run game. But instead we'll extend defensive players that didn't do jack against the Chiefs in the playoffs (again). You know who DID carry his weight in the playoffs? James Cook.

I think of a master manipulator as somebody with good soft skills. Somebody who leads people places without them knowing. Kinda like McBeane do to Pegula. What Diggs does is more of a temper tantrum. I guess it's still manipulation but more like a toddler than a shrude people manager.

Also...

Cook's "asking price" has been 20m so not sure how it can "go up" from this. It doesn't change my expectations on what his deal ends up being.

It prevents someone like him from having to think.

He's always a saint in the beginning...

He is and always was a wonderful person and I'm very happy for the man.

Someone I know that got more than he paid in was my grandfather. He paid in from 1935-1953 (his retirement) and collected from 1953-1983 (died at age 94).

Give him a 1 day contract, let him retire and offer him some sort of 'coaching' position imo..

This schedule is looking pretty official.

8-0 after KC leaves WNY. 😁😁

Bosa replaces Miller. That should hopefully be an upgrade. Depends a lot on Bosa’s health. I kind of think he might be on a snap count to save him for later in the season. Hoecht is in the same tier of player as Toohill and Smoot. Probably a slightly better pass rusher than those guys. Not a huge difference maker, but a nice rotational piece. Ogunjobi is just a rotational depth DT. He’s paid the same as Epenesa. Steelers fans say he’s very inconsistent. Hairston/Dane Jackson/Tre White might be better or might be worse than Rasul Douglas (and he was pretty bad last season). That’s a big question mark. Rookies don’t usually step in at boundary CB and light the world on fire, and usually when they do they are top-10 picks. We are crossing our fingers that Forrest or Bishop can step up at safety. Basically hoping players that have never played a certain role can step into that role and excel. The Bills defense might be good, and it has changed some, but it’s a huge question mark to me. There is a good chance it’s not any better than last year. Our UFAs were rotational guys (out of necessity due to cap), and most rookie defenders don’t really contribute much. How sure was everybody that Bishop would step into a starter role day 1 last year? Never happened. Basham never got there. Elam never got there.

I just don't get how the Patriots qualify for SNF

stefon can date whoever he wants. his drama can only be in our favor this time. NOT OUR PROBLEM yay 🙂 I care that he and Hollins are both Patriots. aka competition. I don't like ex bills as competition. It just feels icky

Other than the idiotic "disaster" nonsense, I posted this two hours ago.

The 17th game is a 3rd strength of schedule game. It is against an outer conference opponent(NFC) from a division that we played two years ago. In this case the NFC East.

Yes, but Barkley is a 21m per year RB. Henry is only at 15m per because he'll be 32 by the end of this season and has had recurring foot problems. If he had Cook's clean bill of health, tread left on the tires, and was 25 years old - he'd surpass Barkley's 21m per year. Of course he's not 21m. But he's not asking for that. This idea that he's a definitively a 2 Down RB to every team in the NFL and that he's not worth 15m bc Henry is a better RB is severely flawed. It assumes every team in the NFL views and utilizes all players the same way and ignores the effect of Henry's age and wear and tear on his contract value.

Oh give me a break. Says who? Bernard has had one really good year. Oliver has had how many postseasons to change a game and failed to do so? Benford just broke out along with Cook. Groot just got abused in his last playoff game and has a career best 8 sacks in a season. Are they really "elite" or more like top 15 guys? These players have never been voted on the All Pro team. Zero top 100's. So is this back to the poor disenfranchised Buffalo players not getting respect? It gets old. They aren't elite, that's why they don't get elite respect. I know that is a stunning conclusion.

At age 32 and coming off an ACL tear, he is going to be a shell of himself for most of the year on the field

The driver of a clown car has the balls to call other posters fvvckin clowns?? What a disgraceful joke you are, Ding *****. You’re a weak-minded fool who spews NOTHING but bvvllshit. FACT

They are all elite players on the field regardless of the popularity contests you prefer to rely on.
