Shakir will probably enjoy the "sauce" he puts on his wings tonight. He smoked Gardner
That was extra enjoyable.

Great game plan. I gotta eat crow on Rasul--didnt like taking on more cap money next year, keep it up, big tests coming. Dodson had a nice game, Great running game. ST coach better improve. Von still looks shot. Keep involving Shakir, less Harty. Nice win, that was against Zach Wilson and Boyle. Bills playoff odds improved. Still a tough road.

I would love to see a shake up at receiver, gotta believe there is someone better than Sherfield or Harty on the PS.

Raiders would have to eat any signing bonus they already payed him, do they really want to do that?

Yep. Today is a must win. I will forgive losses in KC or Philly.
The mood here Monday will be FOUL if they lose today.
If they lose, I may take a hiatus from reading fan boards. They would be dominated by low-quality rants and be depressing to an unhealthy extent.
If they lose should people be posting positive stuff and playoff talk, you know make believe?

Same as the guy above, been a fan since the OJ years. The drought years had some of the worst posts. Like discussing how many sacks Maybin would get, or how good EJ Manuel was going to be, or JP Losman or how one side of our line was set with Mike Williams. The constant drafting of runingbacks. I would roll my eyes at people thinking we really had something in David Nelson. Not being excited at the thought of Dick Jauron or Chan Gailey made you negative. I would rather read someone who has an actual opinion than somebody who wouldn't say crap if they had a mouthful, you know its going to be all sunshine, rainbows and puppies when reading their posts. Your maker gave you 2 eyes and a brain for a reason, use them.
I will never stop watching, I live in another state, pay my Sunday Ticket money every year. I wear my Bills gear and am back to taking crap from my Steeler fan buddies. They complain all the time about Canada and Tomlin. I don't need anyone questioning my fandom.

I hope to see way less Harty, and never see Harty going deep again. Guy has the catch radius of a frisbee.

Sal is miserable. Constantly reminding guests and hosts that he "works for the Bills" and "I'm on the field for games"....cool, dude. I generally like the other WGR hosts but Sal is the worst. Can never be wrong either.
I bet there are plenty of roadies and other people who travel with bands and are on the stage in the background, doesn't make them musicians. Sal isn't much different than the guy on a late night infomercial, he's a paid pitch man.

My favorites... "he is just doing what McD wants him to do" "he eats up the middle and no one throws his way," meanwhile the receiver run right behind him in his zone coverage and he doesn't even move while the pass gets completed.
Tremaine defenders were the ultimate gaslighters. You know what you were seeing with your own eyes, but they would stand logic on its head. Always enjoyed the defenders who would cite their football background of HS football or division 3 college like they were Belichick or something.

Dallas was a Monday night game where the kicker had like 3 chances to make the game winning FG after a series of unfortunate plays that preceded it.
The NE game, UGH! Remember that one. Me and my best friend were dancing like school girls after the go ahead TD.🤣
When McKelvin took the ball out on the kickoff instead of downing it I swear me and my friend looked at each other and simultaneously said "Oh No!
Being Bills fans we subconsciously knew what was about to happen.
i remember on the kickoff, saying to myself, just dont let them stand you up and strip the ball, just get down, and bam they do exactly that. This is being a Bills fans, anticipating the screwup before it happens. Funny how the coaches never see it.

I would rather give him playing time and learn than see Dodson in there.

Not sure where you are getting the 42M number from. We are 29M over the cap fro next year.
And yeah, there is going to be some significant turnover in the secondary. You have White (29 next year - multiple major injuries), Hyde (34), Poyer (33), and now Douglas (30). Hyde has a cap hit of 3.5 next year because of the void years so i could them working out a contract to bring him back. Douglas is a 9M hit and I could see them giving him a short extension to lower his number. I don't see how White is back on a 16M cap hit. They save 5.5M cutting Poyer.
Yes, cutting guys creates holes but they will need to fill those holes with draft picks and mid tier FAs, and maybe some re-signings. FAs will have cheaper cap hits in year one than alot of these aging defenders will have next year.
From Spotrac:
BUFFALO BILLS CAP TOTALS
Adjusted Salary Cap$244,047,903
Active Contracts:$285,607,804
Dead Cap:$574,960
2023 Rollover:$3,547,903
Total (All):$286,182,764
Total (Top 51):$286,182,764
Est. Cap Space (All):$-42,134,861
I didn't make that number up obviously. Even if I take your 30 mill number, the draft class is probably going to be 8-9 million and will go up with each loss. So clear 50 mill from the cap and that would leave 12 for FAs. Again, good luck with that. Maybe Beane can restructure Von so we have him all 6 years of that albatross contract.

another tackle isn't a receiving threat.
Part of the reason 12 personnel is theoretically so successful for the passing game is because when you have 2 TEs in the lineup, you're in traditional run formations and the D has to make a choice to either play the run with a traditional 3 LB setup or go into a nickel formation, putting a mismatched smaller DB on either Knox or Kincaid.
That was kinda the whole idea of what this offense was moving towards in terms of philosophy for this season. It was working while Knox was on the field and healthy, regardless of what his actual numbers were.
Call him a decoy if you want. Another tackle would not be a decoy. And you can't really substitute any other TE we have on the roster for Knox because they aren't the dual (blocker & receiver) threat that he is.
Sorry I must of missed the defensive mismatches with Knox's season high 25 yards.in game. Im sure hes keeping D coordinators up at night.

To preface: I don't think they will be firing McDermott after this season.
I think they will likely have to go with a younger group on defense based on the salary cap and simply where guys are in their careers. They have 10 picks in the draft and I think that is something that wasn't an accident and I would expect alot of the picks to be dedicated to supplying that side with youth and cost controlled players. That said, this is a historically good WR draft and I'm expecting that to be a high priority pick. If they finish 7-10 or 8-9, that would be roughly pick 12-16 which would a great spot to draft or even move up to take one of the top WRs in this class.
They are currently 30M over the salary cap for next year. I would expect the following changes:
Cuts/retirements: Mitch Morse, Tre White, Jordan Poyer, Deonte Harty, Siran Neal, Nyheim Hines, Rasul Douglas
Combined with restructures to: Ed Oliver, Connor McGovern, Tyler Bass
Gets us to roughly 20M in cap space.
Guys who won't be released or traded before June 1 because they would cost more to cut/trade than to keep on the team: Dawson Knox, Stefon Diggs, Von Miller, Kaiir Elam
They could also do things like extend Taron Johnson to reduce his cap hit (or cut him) which would free up more space.
So I would predict roughly 24M-27M in cap space heading into the offseason with 10 picks in the draft. And thats without touching Allen's contract which I would hope they hold off on for now. I think thats plenty of cap space and picks to make some roster changes in the offseason and, if I'm being honest, I don't think they are losing much in the way of cuts as White hasn't been on the field consistently in 3 years, Poyer has aged, Hyde has aged (although I'd entertain him back on a modest contract), Douglas just got here (I'd also consider giving a new contract that lowers his cap #).
We are 42 million over the cap. In your cuts/retirements you have 4 guys from the secondary, we currently have 3 DL under contract, we need to sign/draft/re-sign 6 guys there. If you lost Harty which i would do tomorrow and lost Gabe theres 2 WRs spots to fill. A center spot. Guess Beane is going to find a bunch of great guys in rounds 5-7 and sign FAs in the 1-2 million range, good luck with that.

Giants went down and almost won it, Bucs same and Broncos won it.

No his season high in receiving yards is 25. If its blocking, throw another tackle next to Spencer. If you're telling me 15-25 yards is key part of our offense i say we got other problems.

So I'm watching ESPN this morning and blowhard Steven A Smith and Sharpe are discussing the Trevon Diggs tweet and are acting like we are under-utilizing Stefon, apparently based on last night's game. So I do a quick google search and low and behold the most targeted WR in the NFL is Stefon Diggs. Cant do much more than target him more than anyone in the league. Just amazing you can spout this crap, facts be damned.
On a side note, for you fans that have twitter, I hope a bunch of Bills fans post to Trevon...... 7 gotta get out of there after the Cowboys are eliminated in the playoffs.

Daboll yes, Frazier...not so much.

I agree with you, you're going to see more players speaking out on locker cleanout day, i think he's for sure losing the locker room, the cracks are going to get bigger and bigger.

Anybody who doesnt think DL isnt happening early is a stone cold moron. There are 3 DL signed to the roster next season, and one of them is Von, we dress 9. And again, we are 30 million over the cap next season.

Beane isn't firing him. They are a package deal. Beane goes with him
Where Beane has this roster, that wouldnt bother me at all. 30 million over the cap, 3 DL signed to the roster next season. Will need a starting FS, If Gabe goes your WRs are Diggs, Harty, Shakir and Shorter---good luck with that. I you cut Morse now you need a C, if you cut Tre or Poyer, now its a CB and SS. Maybe mastermind can restructure Von again and keep trading picks to move up 2 spots or turning 2nd round picks into 5ths and 6ths. About every one of Beane's picks next year are going to have to make the roster. McD and Dorsey get plenty of crap on this board, lets not leave Beane out of the mix, its well deserved.

Another reminder, we have 3 DL signed next year and one of them is Von. Beane has this roster in terrible shape.

Von is a situational pass rusher at this point. A well-paid one.
To be considered a pass rusher, I would think you would have a sack on your season stats.

Jets @ Bills Postgame thread

Just seemed like he as quick on the trigger to question a lot of our big plays, Ty Johnson TD--was in all the way, and Poyer int, which i thought was an int hands under the ball, then you hear ball can touch the ground---was closer to me than him and Gene thought.
#3 I bet he says he likes every city.
