With respect and acknowledgement, I’ll follow up. I agree with all you wrote. You wrote about drama. I’m no producer, but I suspect drama manufacturing HBO has Cook as story board topic #1. You wrote about seeing, more realistically, dragging out and impacting the season. These are reasons #1 and #2 that led me to “I am approaching.”

Really agree with everything here, but I’d like to expand on the salary cap part. It goes hand in hand with what you wrote about paying too much to the middle class. That’s obviously a choice the Bills have made on how to construct their roster. Once made, it doesn’t allow for room to acquire a dominant talent should one come available. So I think that concerns over HOW the Bills are spending are very valid. I think they’re banking on stability, getting into the mix every season and hoping things break their way in the playoffs. But without any elite players other than Allen, I think those odds are less than they appear when looking at where the Bills have finished every year. A 75 yard Henry run or Chase Mossing a DB on a bomb can change the outcome of a playoff game. I also think that it’ll be tough to take a bad year for a reset. At least not for a couple seasons anyway. That’s due to the contracts given out this season. They should have enough space that they could add one high end contract next offseason if they so choose. They’d have to go low on filling other holes, but I’d like to see them take a shot on such a player if one is available.

Look forward to listening. There really hasn't been a particularly good Bills podcast, which is kind of wild considering how popular the team is.

I would argue McGovern is more critical than Cook. And I would bet his next contract will reflect that as I think he will make more than Cook

No it’s an ankle.

My family went there on the return from a Cooperstown trip. I think there was a roller coaster that went out into the lake? Maybe I’m thinking of Crystal Beach? Anyways, I made an effort to take my kids to the water park there even though it’s not on the same actual ground.

Palmer, Moore and Ogunjobi have the same cap hit as DK Metcalf. That’s not the “best they can do.” That’s what they decided to do INSTEAD of going after star talent. We aren’t forced to budget shop. We prefer it.

RIP.

Hahaha quite humorous, hardly consider Turkmenistan and Afghanistan as worthy countries for consideration, although neither would be considered predatory. Speaking of poor leaders, surely it is possible to address issues like balancing a budget, reducing debt, migration controls, crime and illegals, without alienating the rest of the world, without threatening your best friends, without calling people names, insulting everyone, without electing a career criminal, a con man. This has become the new normal? This is insanity! Imagine a country believing this con man would stop the Russia/Ukraine war in one day, would get 90 deals in 90 days, would never touch Medicare, would fix water pressure in their showers. Holy Crapola, you bought it. I get the hatred for woke, most of it is terrible, migrant criminals gangs needed to be dealt with, drugs need to stop, but you have been kidnapped by a out of control, power hungry, thin skinned, misguided patriot.

A vacay that you can't see?😏 Lots of people want the money so they aren't homeless... Who can afford $3-$6k!!!! Per eye? 😆 🤣 Medical debt is #1 leading cause of bankruptcy...

They haven't even played a preseason game and it feels like the injury bug has hit them hard in TC. Hopefully he will be back for the opener. Now Beane needs to call the Commanders and see what is going on with McClaurin.

That table cloth reminds me of the family reunion 1962

Shenault and Hamler won’t and shouldn’t make the team. Palmer isn’t a slot.

Somewhere within this is where the 2 points meet though isnt it? You are 100% right in what you say, no doubt - and yet which elite players do we have away from QB? Benford, maybe the tackles? The reality is that for some fans (me included) we concentrate on and pay too much to the middle classes - 7 out of 10 players who keep us in and around the best teams in the league - but cant take it over the top in a one-off elimination game The Eagles trashed the Chiefs in the SB, and yes that pass rush was great - but they were rushing from ahead, because AJ Brown burned their DBs badly. Twice. In the Championship Game, Saquon burned whoever they played. More than twice 🤣 Teams are scared of and game plan for Derrick Henry, JaMarr Chase, Gibbs. Will Andersen and Hunter sack QBs for fun. You need elite in the play-offs - and often that elite player and a "scrub" work out better than 2 pretty good players because those games turn on a play here or there. No right answer here, as I said you are 100% right with what you say from that point of view The alternate is how about we buy in the elite factor for a couple years and see if that has a different result. Because as things stand, the overwhelming likelihood is that we have a great season, win a wild card game and maybe a divisional game and then lose out to the Ravens or Chiefs by 3 points in a game where we fell 1 play short. I totally get a lot of people are happy with that. They should be just as happy to accept that others see an alternative option that they would like to see pursued. *Cap concerns are nonsese. I get that its real - but multiple teams have fixed the bulk of it by taking one bad season. Which simultaneously gets you a nice 1st round draft pick and a chance to play multiple cheap guys and find a couple gems in there too.

That's NOT what the bill collector says... They will attempt to get blood out of a stone... Hard pass... I'll go blind thank you! Only gonna get worse for the younger ones... Yeah... Worth more dead than alive. My father went almost totally blind from glaucoma. [Sorry to be depressing, but something always gives]

Cashman and Boone both need to go. If a team ever needed a reset at GM/HC it's the Yankees.

Meatloaf is also the Tyrell Shavers of singers. (Complimentary)

Bingo. I was pretty shocked reading all the “could be worse” posts. Yeah, I mean, I guess it could be worse if he tore his ACL… but as for non-tear injuries, this one sucks A LOT. This the type of injury that could bother him the entire season if he doesn’t fully heal before playing on it.

We’re DOOOMED!

I almost hope for the opposite. High ankle sprains notoriously linger, presumably as in-season you just get back out there before its 100%. Almost rather miss the first couple weeks even if its at 90%+ - and come back only when its 100% - its a long old season - and no matter how good Shakir is, playing slot is one of the easier positions to replace with the players we have

Mods, sorry, I just realized this was already posted. Please merge

‘The Run!’

I think there is enough smoke that says they are at least talking...they are "close", who knows.....Beane needs to always do what he thinks is right, not just appease fans....given what Cook brings to the table (good and not so good) and his output the last two years and the position of RB I understand the dilemma from both ends. His agent is doing his job, Beane is doing his, they don't HAVE to agree. This is negations, I believe it will likely get resolved. They could give him some void money next year without an extension. Diggs got an extra million or two a couple times in training camp. I think something gets done, it's a game of poker, right now Cook has the cards....when you get closer to the regular season and he stands to lose 1/17 of 5.2 million each week, it will be the Bills who have more leverage.....just let it play out.
