Mr. WEO

As a rookie, Bass broke the Bills scoring record with 141 points. He also broke the record of made FG in a game. He made 82.4% of his FG and 97% of his PATs. His holder was Bojo. After Bass made 6 FG in the Jets game, the combo of Bass/Bojo would miss only 1 FG the rest of the season (a 61 yarder). Without Bojo, Bass made the same number of FG with 2 less attempts (87.5%) and all of his PAT. Bojo certainly wasn't "holding" Bass back, but people here sure cling to that narrative.

Bills should bring him back

Can he be paid that much on PS? I thought they instituted a max salary 2 years ago

weirdest bumped thread of the year...

True, but It's still not new money. It doesn't add anything re: stadium costs. NYS/Erie have simply added a new expense they have to cover with the same revenue (from the team anyway). If someone other than Pegula had bought the team in 2014, they would have been personally on the hook for billions in new stadium costs in LA, for instance. Likely Toronto as well.

What he said. Bills players have been paying state taxes since they have been the Buffalo Bills. How would this money now be considered "new"?

I was kidding a bit, but clearly Beane and McD felt that those 2 guys were far from "cooked" when they brought them in. I mean even Davis knew he was done...

He had 1 more target in 2020 than 2019 but almost 200 more yards.

going with the trend

Yup, If Pegula doesn't repay it the other owners eat it.

To continue in the great tradition of Vontae Davis and Josh Norman. ...and it IS an even year!!

lol “forward”. he’s never close to 4000 yards.

This is one QB you don’t blowout your budget on unless he has another monster year—-or at least can get to 3500-4000 passing. They won’t pay him going coward to rush for 1000 a year.

That's rewarded with $50 million a year in GB.

Hey I'm that guy too! No one cared until the Bills choked twice in the end of one game...forced out of the playoffs for the second time in a row by the same teams. The Bills "still" could have won in OT if the D put up even a small amount of fight.

This was true before the rule change.

See below. No one cares who started over who in college (OSU started JT Barrett and Dwayne Haskins Joey Balls) or where they were drafted (not sure what point you're making there). JJ averaging 1500+ for first 2 years. No player in history has done that. Chase put up monster numbers this past season by any measure. Not sure what you would consider "monster" for nest year. Obviously neither is a poor choice...

Who knows? But you can't make a serious argument by beginning with "OK so forget about the Defenses....", which that guy is trying to do (in a playoff game, no less). It's nuts.

we can all quibble about rules but the rule didn’t change right before that game and the rule didn’t force the game into OT nor did the rule ensure the OT outcome. The Bills were in control of their fate on every down. Simple as that

he hasn't done it twice yet..

Did "Buffalo Bills" ever make sense? It was picked in an essay contest

This was not a new OT rule. It was how everyone understood the game is played. The Chiefs D did have to prove itself--it failed and the Bills had the game in hand with seconds left. If the Bills had tied the game in the last 13 seconds, won the coin toss and scored a TD in OT, absolutely no one here would be saying that Chiefs "deserved another possession" or "the Bills D should have to prove itself in OT".. That's all just as silly as it sounds.

should be much easier, yes.

You keep saying that the Bills "deserved" another possession in OT. You tried to bolster (somehow) that by saying, hey, the Chiefs gave up the lead to the Bills with almost no time on the clock in regulation. The game is also played by Defense. The Bills had 2 defensive opportunities to stop the Chiefs---back to back. After the embarrassment of the 13 second collapse to send it to overtime, the "number 1 Defense in the League" regroups. All they need to get is one 3 and out in OT and the Bills get their "OT possession" to possibly win it. Those have been the rules for years. But instead, the Chefs got 3 more 1st downs and steamrolled the Bills. Game over. After some time to reflect on that.....they had ample opportunity in OT to "execute" the right call. It wasn't even close. Well, that's because they won the game. Suck?--the Bills D was the best in the NFL. They were given 2 chances to demonstrate this in a do or die playoff game on a team that is supposed to be a legit SB contender against a team they could not get past one year prior. Come on--this isn't college boy football.

Honestly, who would even know?
