The two are inextricably linked, though? Josh taking up an extra ~18% more of the cap than he did on his rookie deal impacts which other pieces can be added to the team. When we make an "all-in" move like the Von Miller signing, it really hurts us when an injury derails that move in part because 20% of our cap is already dedicated to Josh. If we went all-in on a true elite receiver, for example, that's a 40+ mil/year cap hit. An injury to that player would make fielding an elite team really difficult, especially if it cost us draft capital to acquire them. It's a balancing act.

Yes

It's not publicly traded. So that valuation is an estimation, at best.

Joe Is still a good qb and more durable than Glass Joe. Glass Joe is very good, but staying healthy is a major part of NFL football. They do not need Glass Joe, all they need is Joe. Regardless, no defense, no winning.

I keep hearing that and it's nothing but cope to try and explain away the loss. To try and convince people the Chiefs were somehow holding back also implies they somehow didn't know this game was important to them, especially because a loss is now is 4 in the loss column. Just a laughable claim. We've been playing the Chiefs twice a year for what seems like forever now. Are people really trying to tell us the Chiefs are holding back looks we haven't seen? Sorry, I'm not going to get concerned because they didn't show us that flea flicker they've got up their sleeve on offense and we've seen just about everything there is to see from Spags. It's just a matter of when they choose to use certain looks.

I did, nothing to do with politics. That as shole bit ch man tried calling him out for bumping this thread. Stfu.

Didn't we see at least tiny glimpses of Davis and Johnson providing some juice? Davis on returns mostly, and Johnson out of the backfield. At least a little uptick. And now with Cook's sore ankle, they're definitely getting more reps in practice this week. So let's see if they can actually help to spread out the workload on gameday against the Phins in the heat. It's a style/vision issue to my eye, whereby Cook is the ideal cut-back slasher who thrives in this zone-heavy, Shanahan-y rushing attack, and whereas the other two might be better suited to hitting pre-determined gaps in a power run scheme.

Agreed, and very much so. People complain, with some justification, about keeping Shavers out there. The guy blocks very well and very consistently. It all adds up. Mike Gillislee!!!! Wow, that's a blast from the past!!!!

I was going to make a joke about wondering if Second Chance tasted as good as Chance... then I saw they skinned and taxidermy'd the first bull that they loved so dearly... these people are ####ed in the head.

Treat Miami like a bye-week and rest up the guys who are banged up.

Would be awesome if the Bills signed him to the PS, paid him to recover and rehab from his injury, then when he’s finally ready to play, someone else signs him and he’s gone. 😂

Just looking at him, 317 seems to not be accurate... he looks a lot bigger than that to me.

My only gripe with Cook this season and it's not on Cook, it's on Brady and Josh, is we need to utilize Cookie more in the pass game. 2 total targets in the last 4 games is unacceptable for your best playmaker. I'd also like to see Cookie get a reduction in carries. IMHO 300+ carries is a good way to destroy your star RB. I'd like to see him top out at 275 with 40 receptions.

Yeah, but it cost Thurman. Take a look at his year by years Yards Per Attempt stats. 1988 4.3 on 207 carries 1989 4.2 on 298 carries 1990 4.8 on 271 carries 1991 4.9 on 288 carries 1992 4.8 on 312 carries 1993 3.7 on 355 carries 1994 3.8 on 287 carries 1995 3.7 on 267 carries 1996 4.2 (way down to) 154 carries 1997 4.1 on 93 carries 1998 4.2 on 36 carries 1999 4.9 on 28 carries After those first five years with so many carries, he lost a step. Again, he was still very good but not what he'd been. And if you look at his passing stats they show the exact same pattern, his yards and Yards Per Catch nosedived after those first five high mileage years. James Cook is 5'11" and 190 while Thurman was 5'10 206. That's a very significant difference. Thurman, in size, was a very close match to James' brother Dalvin, not to James. And defenders were smaller in Thurman's day.

Cook and Ty are a good duo. I wish we had a dialed route runner.

I am not saying KC will take it I’m just talking about the Bills’ formula. But yes you’re generally in a good spot for January if your line is mauling people and you can run the ball effectively even against stacked boxes. Would just really like it if Ray Davis or Ty would get going.

Ty Johnson? My favorite anti-Cook posts this off-season were the ones the said Ray Davis was just as good as Cook.

Put it this way... last year Cook averaged 15 touches per game. This year he's averaging 21. While to some that might not seem like a lot, it's a 40% increase in workload and for a running back, that's a lot. Obviously we can't rest all of them and obviously we can't play all of them. Just like the discussion of who we cut when Ogunjobi and Hoecht return from suspension, this is a situation that's gonna take care of itself. Kenneth Walker and Zach Charbonnet, Bucky Irving and Rachaad White, Rico Dowdle and Chubba Hubbard... There's always gonna be a drop-off when you have someone of the caliber of James Cook but one way or another we still need much better play from our 2nd running back. Is that according to the Thigh Doctor?

I hope you are right about that. I'm not convinced, but I definitely hope you are right. Thurman Thomas was also a guy who mostly squirted through things and didn't take big hits. But time took its toll, as it generally does. After those first five years his YPA took a very noticeable dip, and though he was always a very good RB, he wasn't what he'd been in those first five years. I agree that James and Dalvin have different styles, but also different body types. At 5'10, Dalvin is shorter but 15 pounds heavier. James isn't nearly as big and strong. I worry about his wear and tear, but from your keyboard to God's ears.

I have seen the others, and I have discovered, that this fight is not worth fighting. And I have seen their mothers, And I will no other to follow me where I'm going. Sooo. Take a shower and shine your shoes, you got no time to lose. you are young man, you must be living, go now you are forgiven.

NAV Canada simply passed on the costs to the passenger. You want to pay more per flight?

Kansas City was chucking up prayers all night Nothing worked on schedule.. like they're not a bad team but no good team is destined to win for eternity

I would just feel way better about it if they could get one of their other running backs going. I am super worried about trying to give Cook 20-25 runs a game through January as a strategy. And slamming Shakir into the teeth of the defense over and over. They are working hard for their yards right now and relying on some smaller guys to do it. If their offense starts to break down physically like their defense has, they are in real trouble.

The Overton Window has shifted. Most would consider me socially conservative.. Im pro-gay marriage, but oppose much of the trans agenda (children, womens sports) I believe abortion is the taking of an innocent life, but don’t think it’s politically feasible to ban it, so I’m more along the lines of 15 weeks with exceptions after and think pro-life groups should win over people’s minds instead of legislating I think the pronoun stuff is bs, roll my eyes at land acknowledgement nonsense and think the Democrat base is openly anti-white. This is probably where most men under 40 reside(ish) socially.

That's why I think we finally can get past them if we even have to see them again There running game is anemic and ours is formidable
