Still can’t believe cincy didn’t trade Hendrickson in the offseason …what a mess. Surprised it’s lookin like he’s not making his return against us with how our luck has been 😂

I wish we did add more at WR, I'll make that clear. But I think there HAS to be balance to win championships in the NFL. Even looking back at the kelly bills, when another team was able to run the ball it screws everything up. Fewer possessions and more of a sense of urgency because of the lack of possession time. I don't think that means we need to run the ball constantly, I just mean I don't want to build a team around 2 WRs and 1QB if that makes any sense? To your 2nd point about what if burrow carves buffalo up? The entire offense would need to play amazing to win in that scenario. If Buffalo puts close to 200 on the ground against you, even incompletions or penalties, or sacks can become game killing plays because a running team squeezes the clock. We'll see how it plays out! I think on the road it's difficult to just say we're going to dictate, not to mention very different personnel on both sides - namely hopefully less playing time for dane Jackson and kaiir elam.

I'm becoming more and more of the mind that McDermott is a good enough coach that we can win, but the issue is Beane's roster management. Especially once you get into the "who would you hire as HC" discussions and guys like Stefanski or Flores are mentioned. No thanks. Beane's signing have been bad overall lately, especially at WR. Samuel is never on the field. Same with Palmer. Maybe they would be great. But history suggests not. He's hit here and there, as any GM will, but it needs to be better. This repeating pattern of late of bringing back previously released players mid season is a sign of desperation and that the roster moves didn't work. IMO, McDermott wouldn't mind a change at GM. I believe he could do a lot better with better players. He can coach up the D but it only goes so far when Shaq Lawson is about to start a game for you in 2025.

Do you even need to ask?

Hegseth went from the second attack being fake news to “ I didn’t order it”.

It makes sense that he bought Trump’s conspiracy junk and wanted to start a war yes It’s simply standard journalist language. The AP Stylebook is full of it. I don’t really know what to think of Wray. It would make sense that Patel used Wray’s information to finish this case off though.

I'm going to look at a Subaru this afternoon........Subaru wasn't even on my bingo card. Mods, please delete this thread.

Phil Hansen was better than Rousseau, unfortunately. That being said, Rousseau is the 16th highest paid edge rusher. That's not a huge overpay.

I don't agree with every detail, but I do agree with the general point: Beane's drafts, FA evaluations, and cap management have been problematic. The fact we don't have a SB quality roster falls squarely on his shoulders. Then again, so does the fact we have Josh Allen who makes us instantly competitive. This isn't a popular opinion, but I've long thought that the reason the Bills keep going to the playoffs is because of McD (a good, not great, coach) and Josh. The rest of the team is a random mix of good and not-so-good players. The reason we keep bowing out in the playoffs before the SB is that both the coaching staff and roster, overall, just aren't good enough. McD doesn't have elite coordinators - his fault. And McD doesn't have an elite roster - Beane's fault. Between the two, I think Beane is more to 'blame' than McD.

Ohhhhh. So you disagree with the policy and how it's being implemented? So standard politics. Got it.

Did Palmer get reinjured or is this still the lingering original?

so we would technically retain his rights for the next season if he doesn't show? I get that it doesn't seem that useful, but who knows maybe get a 7th in the end?

Now they've got this guy, Tinsley, that's showing a lot of potential. Somehow, I did not know this. Wtf?

they fall short because Lamar tends to play worse in the playoffs. that is not a coaching issue if he can maintain or improve on his regular season form the ravens will make the SB

Was hoping there was a small chance he could come back for a few snaps against the Jets, even if a meaningless game, just to get some rust off before the playoffs. But if we can get him back at 80% for the playoffs, that’s still a big help.

Are you against paying Phil Hansen? I’m not. Sad day when he retired. Pretty much signaled end of an era.

Not until the offseason when Philly won’t even need him anymore. Slay basically has to play for Buffalo or retire no one is going to try to trade for him next year

it likely isn't worth making future negotiations difficult

Rookie DE Landon Jackson is confirmed out for the rest of the season, according to McDermott.

this kind of stuff is starting to happen way too much. What is the training staff doing???

I think the catch is that it would annoy Drew Rosenhaus (which is a plus in my book).
