Trade-up that gives up our 2nd round picks. I'd always rather trade-back a few slots. I like Tasker's idea to trade back and end up with four 2nd round pics. No trade-ups where we lose either both of the 2nds or both of the 4ths

Shows how crucial that QB decision is and with most regimes you only have one shot at it. Jones playing over his head and Giants making the playoffs that first year really hurt them. It pushed a resigning of Jones for big $ without being able to see if he could sustain his level of play. Is it all that dissimilar to McD's first year when Tyrod played very well and broke the playoff drought, plus nearly won a wild-card game? The Bills had draft picks and if they had decided to try to build around Tyrod, McBeane might be in the same boat. Instead they traded the playoff-winning starting QB and made the move for Allen changing the direction of the team.

Thank you!! Headed that way!!

Are there any large groups of Mafia tailgating tonight? My wife and I just flew in for the game and would connect w/ fans. Let us know where the best tailgating is.....

I believe it works essentially the same way as if they cut him. They can put him on IR for the years and do a June1 retirement. We had that happened when Eric Wood had a neck injury and had to retire

Content seemed self-evident under the circumstances

WTF

Dorian is going to be a good player! Very fast... he made some mistakes last year at times, but he'll grow and be much improved next season

I'd figure out how to run it with Dawson Knox and keep Allen out of it. It's a pretty basic play that doesn't have to be handled by Allen. Then we can put someone bigger behind him to up the conversion rate.

...there's no way this could happen otherwise, I retract my comments in other threads defending how that is not possible based on macro-level idealized outcomes

I think OP is looking to highlight the biggest wins under McD as a positive.... but when you see the list and struggle to get much past four and some of them are not even playoff games and you realize what is on the flip side of the Losses version of this list, it further crystalizes the limitations of this coach

that's the problem...

That is actually pretty weak sauce for signature wins. I would replace Denver game w/ Ravens playoff win. It makes me madder to think what should be on this list: 1. Allen and Gabe Davis destroy Chiefs in playoff shootout to get to AFCCG. Winning TD with just 13 seconds left 2. Bills right the season with critical win against Eagles on the road defeating weather, referees and hostile stadium 3. After allowing Cardinals back in the game, Allen hits Diggs with 30 seconds left for winning TD

Nonsense... Allen is the Madden cover, he's in commercials for the league. I haven't seen Stroud in anything yet. "Poster boy" means face that is seen all the time

The refereeing was terrible throughout the game and especially in the first half. However, the league being fixed doesn't make a lot of sense based on this game. What would be the goal of the fix? To keep the league as competitive as possible to rack up more $$$$. Secondly, according to many, its to help big-market teams. That would best have been accomplished in this game by having the Bills win. The Eagles are 9-1 and playing a non-conference game. This is one that they could easily have afforded to lose without hurting big markets. The Bills on the other hand needed the victory badly in an exciting AFC playoff race. The league already has the Bills scheduled in prime time essentially through the rest of the season. Upcoming games @KC and @Miami would become much bigger marquee match-ups if the Bills win. Allen has become the NFL poster boy. He played a great game and having him heroically beat Philly on he road, would have had more buzz than any other outcome. Any "fix" should have favored the Bills.
