Nails it. Thankfully the Roundy’s of the world are dwindling in numbers every day.

If you guys are that hard up, let me tell you a little secret about the internet...

So your all for these illegals to stay and American citizens pay for their 3 hots and a cot ? First off if they are here illegally that should be the first consequence to be enforced which would be to deport them to their own country of origin . As long as they are no longer here & usually on the catch and release bail program to go back to out & do more crimes then i'mm all for it !! .

You seem to think it’s luck that the Packers didn’t give Watson Shakir money. I’m saying it’s the trade off. Sometimes there’s a benefit to keeping your powder dry instead of throwing every last dollar at every single depth piece at the first opportunity. the Packers could’ve signed a couple Josh Palmer/Joey Bosa/Larry O, Michael Hoect tier FAs this offseason. They had the money to do so. They did not. And they had the space to make a Parsons move. That’s just a fact.

There is a scene of Jordan Poyer and Rachel Bush that could win me over. For sure. I'm not sure it is them discussing contract details though......... 😚

Fair to point out that Clark plays the 3tech just like osa odighizuwa who they gave 20 million a year too. neither play the run that well.

I think Bass is about done and we need to seriously look into a kicker that can help us win games.

I think it was a great move by Green Bay, that money will even out as the cap continues to grow and they will have him locked up for his prime years until the age of 30. The Bills should have gone all in, because you need a defensive game wrecker and the AFC is a passing conference with Burrows/Mahomes/Jackson and a few others. Parsons is the type of player that can make a difference come playoff time when getting to the QB with 4 man rush matters. Knox/ Oliver plus 2 firsts and one second would have got it done

We all love extending homegrown guys, but this past years extension class needs to perform. Im not convinced any of them are future game changers. I have hope they all have an extra gear, and in Benford’s case, stops missing games in the playoffs.. but they were all relatively easy to get done (Cook aside) because they aren’t top tier players. …Which is the makeup of our team and why we don’t have a Parsons wingman for Josh. Team is LOADED with B+/A- guys… as much as any team in the league. But we don’t have at A+ guys to go with Josh. Bengals do with Chase, Hendrickson and Higgins. Ravens do with Henry and Hamilton. Chiefs do with Jones (previously add Kelce and before that, add both of them and Tyreek). So when we couldn’t or wouldn’t make the move for Parsons to match/beat Green Bay’s offer.. it’s not because we’re paying a QB. It’s because Beane has assembled a roster loaded with B+/A- talent around Josh and that isn’t cheap either. Guys have to make a jump though if we ever want to win a Super Bowl. That starts with the extension class of ‘25.

The luck part was referring to the Packers and how they somehow were in position to do this. To your point, they had 1 guy worth an extension. That was due to bad luck in mediocre drafting, and good luck of having resources when this trade opportunity, which no one, even Jerry Jones, thought would happen just 48 hours ago. Yes, we chose to give all those guys extensions, because the alternative of waiting just in case a team gets dumb enough to trade their future HoFer Pass Rusher, which almost NEVER happens, would be worse mismanagement than what the Cowboys just pulled off. I think we're saying the same thing. But there is no criticism of the Bills here. I wont criticize them for not predicting a rogue meteor, or lightning strike. Had Jerry been in touch with reality at all and had Parsons available in March or April, the Bills would have been all over it. We wouldnt have signed Bosa, we wouldnt have spent all those picks on DL. We would have used those resources and more to try to get him.

Have to say my mind went in a different direction here 😛

I look forward to reading more about this story when the NYT, CNN, et al. start running with this bombshell from Guy Christensen

Here is your threat to democracy...

One of the biggest season opening day games in quite a while as #1 takes on #3. Let the Arch Manning hype begin. Why is this game on at 12:00 EST. This should have been a primetime game on Saturday night.

Maybe in your world, he was 1/2 of one of the best safety tandems the Bills have ever had and I would be willing to say having him waiting in the wings just incase someone went down is as good or maybe a bit better than having Hamlin as their go to just incase . He has probably forgot more about the game than the rookies have set eye's on at this point of their career so if can interject some wisdom helping the Rooks get better and be there just incase to break glass & insert him doesn't bother me which is smart on McD's part ...

Corporate media is heavily invested in self-immolation at this point... God forbid there is ever a ban on pharmaceutical advertising... The collapse of these media companies and the professional sports cash flow would be epic...

It wasn't a ***** cheap shot. It was a football play made by a guy no longer in his prime that was a step and a half late. There was no malicious intent. This is a worst take than “winning a Super Bowl, doesn’t matter at all, just enjoy beating the bottom tier squads”

Seems the locker room is pretty excited to have him back, but I guess you know more than guys like Dion Dawkins and Taron Johnson.

They gave Zach Tom an $88M extension this offseason. The real difference if you want to get into the nitty gritty is they don’t have a bunch of bad contracts eating up their 2025 space. Knox, Samuel and AJE basically cover Micah’s 2025 cap hit with about $10M to spare. Which is a big yikes, but nothing you can do about it now. Anyway, I don’t agree that it’s luck. The Bills chose to give Benford, Bernard, Rousseau and Cook extensions this offseason. They did so because of the benefit of getting them potentially cheaper than when they were going to hit FA. In return, they sacrificed their financial flexibility to add a player like Parsons if they ever shook free. That’s how it works. Once you extend a Rousseau, you HAVE to pay him. They could have chosen not to, and they didn’t.

where in the locker room do you put a guy who torpedoed a guy who is on his former, now current team?

WOW & all in unison doesn't sound like this could be scripted does it ??

Fwiw, stepping back from the trade shock and seeing that they got Kenny Clark back…. Id be willing to give Jerry a “wait and see” on this trade if I’m a Dallas fan. Their Defense was going to be an issue this year up the middle and adding Clark now immediately helps solve that issue. Now we’ll have to see if they can get off the field on 3rd and 6, but they shouldn’t get run all over like in past years with Parsons. 47M is so much money for a non-QB. Two first round picks, even if late, gives them a ton of draft ammo in draft classes expected to be stronger than recent years. Also… I think in the modern NFL passing game, stopping the run and getting pressure from DT’s is more valuable than an elite pass rusher. Myles Garrett, Nick Bosa, Maxx Crosby etc are all good against the run too. Parsons is a pure pass rusher. I can see why Beane wouldn’t offer two 1sts, that contract and Ed Oliver. I would have, because we do have EDGE setters in Rousseau and Hoecht, along with recent investment at DT with Sanders and Walker, but I get it from the Cowboys perspective and I don’t really fault Beane for not making a better offer (assuming the Cowboys would rather trade him out of conference)… but we also don’t have a run stuffing DT to package, so maybe it was never a consideration.

Hard Knocks can really redeem itself next episode if they show the scene of Poyer breaking the news to Rachel Bush that they're going back to Buffalo. And then another scene later on when she realizes he'll be making Practice Squad money.
