    I’m still in the camp of the Bills either requesting to play the game Week 19 or forfeiting.

    The Bengals have been a class act throughout this situation.
    (For this discussion, I will disregard the questionable hits on Taron and Josh.)

    After reviewing all the options, IMO the only one that doesn’t hurt Cincy or disrupt the entire league is a Bills forfeit.
    It sucks. It’s the same unlucky BS that I have lived with for my entire 40+ years as a Bills fan, but It’s the right thing to do.

    I just had a crazy thought … Clowney really doesn't make sense to me. Another name I've heard deep in the rumor mill was A.J. Green, which also doesn't make sense to me. What if the Bills "big splash" is Trent Williams?

     

    He has dug his heels in and is refusing to play another down for the Skins … maybe Snyder wants to dump him for anything he can get. Even though I like Dawkins, I think Williams would be an upgrade.

     

    I have NO inside information …. I am NOT making a prediction … just a thought, what do ya'll think??? 

    Great minds think alike!

    I don't think they could if they wanted to.  They only have $36MM in cap space before the Smith deal.  The transition tag will cost them $34MM.  If nobody wanted to take that contract at $34MM, the Skins would need to gut their team and knowing it would be a fire sale, they would get 75 cents on the dollar if they were lucky.   The Skins would need to pick up the remainder of a lot of contacts to make up the difference.  It would take a pair of brass balls to try that or the stupidest owner in the NFL.  I guess Snyder may qualify for one of those descriptions.

     

    Agreed. I think the Redskins would need to have a deal in place to do this.

     

    Would a team be willing to make a deal and take Cousins at 34MM with exclusive negotiating rights?

    might want to get hit refresh on your updates dude...cousins wont get the tag they traded for alex smith.  They are not gunna slap a tag on him hoping another team matches that offer, if i was another owner i would let them eat it and have both qbs on there team...and when they trade him later on in the year to have dead salary cap in future years.

     

    I am fully aware of the updates DUDE.

     

  5. I think the Redskins will place a transition franchise tag on Cousins, so is he worth the huge contract AND giving up a draft pick and/or other compensation? 

     

    I like Cousins, but it seems like the team that does acquire him is destined to overpay. I'm not sure that translates to long term success.

     

    I'm convinced the best option is to draft a QB in the 1st round and hope he becomes the long term solution.     

  6. Here is the best way to figure it out:

    https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2017/upshot/buffalo-bills-nfl-playoff-picture.html#buf-ind-14=win&buf-mia-15=win&ne-buf-16=win&mia-buf-17=loss

     

    Assuming Bills go 3-1 (loss to Pats) basically the Ravens would have to lose 2 games.

     

    Steelers over Ravens Week 14

    Ravens over Browns Week 15

    Ravens over Colts Week 16

    Bengals over Ravens Week 17

     

  7. After the Chargers game, I thought the same thing - McDermott HAD to go back to Tyrod for the remainder of the season.

     

    Now, I think he is screwed either way.

     

    If he goes back to Tyrod, he looks weak and undetermined. Also, we don't learn any more about Peterman or his future (I don't believe that can be determined on one game.) Best outcome for this option is that Tyrod comes out and plays more aggressive and starts lighting it up, but given past indicators this is doubtful. 

     

    If Peterman starts again, I think he could lose the locker room. But this is the only way McDermott can regain his credibility. If Peterman starts this week and starts throwing interceptions, the season would be over. But the best outcome for this option is if Peterman somehow turns it around and plays really well....once again highly doubtful given past indicators.

     

    Unfortunately, (for us fans desperate for the playoffs) this decision will not be based on getting to the playoffs this year. I think McDermott has left himself with only one viable option for his long term future and credibility - starting Peterman.
