Doesn't look like it. Expect the QB2 show to continue on Hard Knocks. -

They play in the same division as the Ravens Our respective playoffs paths are not really comparable -

So with more than half over voters thinking Allen will play, I will let McDermott know. -
2nd Window for Superbowl Taking Shape

Hey that’s all amazing on paper man. And I hope more than anything it works out as designed. This will be an indictment on Mcdermotts defense if these guys are all healthy and the result is the same. -
Sorry, I don't bring God into the matter. Of course I want the Bills to win, just as much as anyone. I've been a fan since about 1963 when I was old enough to even know what football was. But God has a lot of far more important things to work on. Russia out of Ukraine, completely. Hamas, Israel and Russia punished for war crimes. Ends to the wars in SE Asia, southern Asia, and western Asia. Gazans getting all the food and medicine and water they need, and money from every country that helped Israel destroy Gaza, to rebuild it. Return of US funding for PEPFAR and USAID which kept millions of people alive but which is now stopped. These are far more serious matters, worthy of God's attention, than making us Bills fans happy.

I don’t think you’re reading the numbers accurately. Those 2026 numbers are favorable to be cut, but not this season. Knox is essentially at 21 million dollar bath to cut at this point. No way we are just cutting ties with him for that number. He is still a good player and will play substantial snaps. There is no cap savings this year from his release. Next season is a different story, with 7mil guaranteed and dead, you’d likely save 10 mil with his release in 26. Curtis Samuel is pretty much the same. No cap relief this year from cutting him still owing his full salary (9mil) this year and on the hook for 3 mil guaranteed next year Thats 12 mil dead on a release this year. Next season saves 6.5 in cutting him in 26. I am with you that they are not worth the numbers but there is literally zero benefit to there release unless there is a clearly better option to roster at this point. Next year they will likely be gone, to the tune of taking 16.5 mil off the current cap number, while still wasting 10 mill im dead money.

Chill LT, chill. No rookie should be talking that kind of smack. -
That's what she said!!!

I think Samuel is almost definitely getting cut if I’m reading these Spotrac numbers correctly. My “dark horse” to get cut is Dawson Knox, which is all dependent on where Hawes is at. But looking at the cap savings between just Knox and Samuel, you’ve already freed up a large chunk to acquire a difference maker like Hendrickson or Garret. Its hard justifying keeping Knox at his number when they’ve already invested a 1st at the position with Kincaid to be the receiving threat, Hawes is the 6th/7th OL basically, and then Davidson can be the reserve, plus Gilliam in a pinch. No way a TE2 is worth what is essentially a 2yr $23 million deal (with bonuses), even if he is buddies with the QB. Dead cap is $7mil, if you take the emotions out of it, seems like a no brainer.

Considering that Trump is cracking down on illegal immigration and ramping up deportations - in a proper society this would be the top story in the country.

They already have him penciled in as the starter. Seems like a great situation to come into. Njigba on one side, Kupp in the slot, and Darnold who has a bit of the gunslinger mentality. -
What I picture with these threads is that Trump is Benny Hill with the dems/libs (and the loons hare) running after him with Yakety Sax playing in the background.

I didn't scout a lot last year, but I had scouted Horton a couple years ago and was really impressed by him. -
Keeping SVPG on PUP is the easiest and best answer. Possible injuries and roster views will make it clearer after 4 weeks. Jacob Mayer was said to be looking good earlier in camp and should be easy to get on the PS as an Anderson backup if needed. “If a player starts the NFL season on the Reserve/PUP list, they are eligible to return during the season after missing at least the first four games. Teams then have a five-week window to begin a 21-day practice period, during which the player can be activated to the 53-man roster.“

Cam Newton had a shoulder injury which ruined his arm He could still run his entire career lol I have posted multiple statistics over the years which breaks down 30 years of quarterback injuries showing that running quarterbacks do not get hurt at any more rate than a pocket passer In fact it's safer outside the pocket than inside the pocket and Josh Allen is taking on smaller corners and safeties , even some linebackers are smaller than Josh when he gets outside the pocket Inside the pocket you are stationary with 300 hound men flying around your kneecaps... Most quarterback injuries happen inside the pocket over the last 30 years and no data shows running quarterbacks are more likely to be hurt Josh is usually delivering blows not taking them... Most defensive backs don't want to tackle Josh

He was picked up as a projected starter. He clearly isnt the same as either Davis or Diggs but im pretty sure they were expecting more than what he produced. So as a starting wr he was projected as a replacement - but to replace what Diggs or Davis brought to the offense sure you can make that argument - i think they wanted a RAC wr that could get separation on shorter routes and make them into bigger gains or get open early and often. They went out and got Moore and Palmer for similar reasons. I dont think anyone was or is under the illusion Samuel would be Stephon Diggs in his prime. But im pretty sure they expected 600-800 yds with the best case sniffing 1000. Im not sure they have those expectations anymore with him and to a degree they seem like theyve made contingencies accordingly.

Josh and the Oline speak in their own language, including tongue clicks. Dion demonstrated, and he said another awesome thing about returning top 8 OL is that they all speak the language, and it’s evolved, and more complex. Brilliant idea. Josh can have conversations with oline as he scans the defense, and get feedback from OL. Even if they audible “White 80, white set” often, knowing the audible phrase doesn’t tell you much. The following audible might mean “ignore “ white 80, white set. This next call is the play. Bills players have been Chess and Catan. Josh is wicked smart. 37 on the Wonderlic is damn impressive. I don’t doubt that Josh and OL have developed a complex new language, and will use it against opposing teams. Josh playing 3D Chess again. Josh says go meet Phyllis for wings in Room 40 Go Bills!

This isn't really addressing Septide's point which is that Josh's physical style of play likely has a shelf life. Elway and Young weren't exactly bowling guys over. The better comparison is Cam Newton who hit a wall in his 30s and couldn't dominate the same way anymore. Josh is more talented than Newton as a passer and overall player so there should be lots of confidence he can change his game over time with considerable effectiveness, but he likely does have to change. Septide's related point about our receiving talent is on point as presumably one part of Josh running less is him needing to make more plays in the pocket; we could also lean more into our RBs. Anyway, I share the same concern about the Superman timeline. We maybe only have a year or two left of this version of Josh.
