  1. Spain is a lot like Jordan Phillips...........bite the hand that feeds you..........then treat the team that picks you up off the scrap heap like they are just the best! Cardinals can save $4.3M on the cap by cutting Phillips this offseason............seems like an obvious cut...........this board will blow up if he becomes available and I don't have a problem bringing him back but the Bills basically gotta' let he and his agent get a "no" from 30 other teams first before taking him on dirt cheap.........or risk being the @ssholes in the same fashion that Spain turned on them the first time they bench or inactivate him.
  2. Yeah it's been a good mix of Sydney Sweeney nude and.........some other storylines.
  3. More human than a human.
  4. Don't take it personally.............Promo is only engaged when he has two things aligned............an inept franchise to defend and disgruntled fans to shame.
  5. Was that John Wawrow asking one of his rambling 5 minute questions?
  6. While there were only 500 fans in attendance...........they came in 500 separate cars. Cincitucky had 30K people but less overall automobiles.
  7. It's easy to look at how the offense produced at the end and think that the OL is looking good now..........but I agree this would be the smartest use of the money. The OL struggles totally undermined the team in that 8 game stretch where they went 3-5. Even if Morse doesn't retire they have little reliable depth inside...........I don't trust Williams to be any more prepared to start this season...........there is no guarantee that Bates will be able to maintain his level of play as a starter. Job #1 is protect Josh Allen.
  8. Yep a lot of people definitely forget the general perspective they had heading into the playoffs this year. Perspective can change FAST. After the Bills lost that Monday night game to NE people were furious and many felt all was lost. At our post game tailgate that night I detailed how it was going to go from there..........the Bills would win in NE and grind out the division title and meet the Patriots at home in the wild card game and it would be glorious to exact that revenge in those games and be 1-0 all time against NE in the playoffs. At that time a lot of fans thought the team would miss the playoffs entirely.........and even when that scenario played out A LOT of fans were worried stiff about losing that game to NE and how they would feel if they lose that game etc.........confidence was not sky high.......only in hindsight is NE now viewed as a cupcake opponent in the WC round and that a lost season of SB destiny occurred in KC.
  9. The Bills OL was definitely quite terrible until late in the season. I will say though that some of that wasn't for lack of talent on hand like it is for the Bengals. Dawkins struggled after two bouts with covid.........Brown was a very raw rookie.........Williams seemed out of shape after getting paid...........the outside zone attack didn't suit any of the interior OL and LG was a total black hole until Bates was inserted..............so when all of those factors were resolved to different degrees they notably improved. Still should address the OL once or twice in the first 3 rounds in this draft..........give Bates a second round tender and sign a good UFA if Morse retires.
  10. No he's definitely a bit player. If Ja'Marr Chase goes down they simply can't replace him with an equally productive/impactful player. If Joe Mixon goes down they can find another guy to run for 4.1 yards off the street. The bottom line with RB's: there is a sweet spot..........you find one good enough to produce when called upon........but not so intriguing that you feel compelled to "give him his touches". Devin Singletary totally checks those boxes if your target point in the run game is between the tackle and the guard. He's ordinary on the eyes.........but he consistently outproduces most RB's when he gets the ball. Joe Mixon is that guy who breaks off that exciting looking run that makes you think if you give him the ball more he will do that more...........while simultaneously forgetting why he always ends up with just 4 yards per carry every year.
  11. Jags should just send a split squad..........Jags A vs. Jags B........just call it a tie for the standings. Who disapproves?
  12. Henry wasn't a legit MVP candidate.........he was barely getting 4 yards per carry...........his play had dropped off considerably they were just feeding him the ball at a record clip and their WR corps was together early in the season so they were more dynamic. Career scrub Foreman more than replicated what Henry brought to the table and the stark difference in what Henry is now versus Foreman was evident in the playoff game where Foreman made it look easy against the Bengals D. Feeding Henry when he was clearly the less dynamic back stopped their offense in the playoffs, not the Bengals defense. The imaginary, incalculable impact of an elite RB is so great that their teams somehow never win SB's. Henry himself has strung together 3 straight bad performances in the playoffs. Remember when the Saints had Brees, all those receiving threats AND the amazing Alvin Kamara? Then remember when they got beaten at home again and again in the playoffs? If you need convincing then that's on you. The facts are right there for you. BTW that Jonathan Taylor guy...........he missed the playoffs entirely despite playing behind the highest draft pedigreed OL in NFL history........a #1 overall a #6 overall, another mid-first rounder and a mid-second rounder. Bottom line is.........giving the ball to a RB in the NFL is a necessary evil.........you can't replicate the impact of a well passed football by running the football........great production from a RB is a lot less than average production from the pass game.......when each touch gets more important in the playoffs that disparity is often magnified. Sorry to say but it's not some kind of f*cking cheat code when you have what is considered an "elite" RB.
  13. True on Roman. He's great at run game design. But it certainly wasn't about having a certain RB in his prime. The backup RB's actually produced quite a bit more with the ball in their hands..........one lead the league in ypc and 3rd down conversions and they combined for 18 TD's versus McCoy's 16. They were simply a machine running the football........as have been the Ravens since Roman took over as OC.
  14. You know I watch a ton of NFL football. I know who that miscreant Joe Mixon is and I know that he is NOT "three times the player" that Singletary is. That is ridiculous hyperbole thrown out there to try to pad an argument that really has little merit. The same arguments were made last year for Leonard Fournette. Like I said, those two jokers are peas in a pod as players. Are they marginally more talented than Singletary........probably.........but who cares. They are running backs. Block it up. There is always another one waiting in the wings. As superman Derrick Henry found out when he was out performed by practice squader D'Onta Foreman in his absence this season.
  15. Oh you're very wrong. HC and GM's don't value RB play.........that is evidenced by the pay scale and where they are drafted. Those facts are not irrelevant, though it would be convenient for your argument to say so. What teams value is utilizing the run to enhance the success of their passing game. You can do that with a good OL and adequate RB play. It's been proven over and over for a couple decades now.
  16. Like I said..........Khalil Mack was under contract for a lower cap hit than that.........so yeah, that little bit of cap space can help you acquire a great player. And not just at pass rusher.........that can help you ink a stud CB or WR........positions that actually change games in the NFL. And remember...........Addison was coming off of a 10 sack season in Carolina when Beane gave him that contract.............Barkley was dogsh*t last year..........they couldn't be coming from more different positions of performance. Pass rushers........and most other positions........are more impactful than RB's.............it's a passing league. The proof is in the contracts. People get confused when they see all the yards RB's accumulate and all of the touches they can get............they think that means they are dominating the action. In reality an average of 4 yards every time you hand the ball off to a RB is a BIG sacrifice when you have a QB who can average 7-8 yards every time they THROW the ball. And even an elite receiving RB only averages around 8-9 yards per reception compared to an average starting WR getting 11-12 yards. That's why those RB yards/touches aren't really game changers in the NFL.
  17. I would love to see Dr. Dre and Barack Obama form a super-minority group and buy the Donkeys.
  18. I'm not sure they could have gotten a second for him last offseason. Drafting a MLB in round 2 is a lot like drafting a RB that early though. I want my all star personnel department to find that guy for less.
  19. Shut yo mouf https://www.wkbw.com/sports/buffalo-bills/bucs-rob-gronkowski-shows-love-for-buffalo-ahead-of-sunday-matchup-with-bills
  20. Yeah..........don't look at Joe Mixon's highly unimpressive 4.1 yards per carry in 2021.........which also happens to be his career ypc. In fact, don't look at Cinci's rushing stats at all..........bottom 3rd of the NFL in yards per carry and rushing yards total. We clearly have a different idea of what "a STUD" player is.........IMO that's a players whose impact is very hard to replace at the very least......Cinci could play action to a WHOLE LOTTA RB's and still be elite passing the ball and bottom 3rd of the league running it. Mixon doesn't change my point anymore than Leonard Fournette did last year. They are very much interchangeable players.
  21. His cap savings are only $1.5M but he is due $4.2M in otherwise unguaranteed money between base and bonuses if he is kept this season. Doing it now makes A LOT of sense because that's $4.2M in cap room they won't have in 2023 if they pay him to play this year..............and that's space they can use NOW to sign a pass rusher to a backloaded deal, for example. It's not just fictional, down the road money. There is a very broad misunderstanding of how the salary cap works on TSW.............people need to understand that any money actually paid out has to be accounted for eventually.
  22. I kinda' doubt the Bills REALLY believe in Edmunds any longer...........they just don't have a lot of choice. Prior to this season I think a lot of the league thought he was a special talent.............and part of that was that there weren't many really good ILB's in the league. But this year rando's.........like Logan Wilson and Nick Bolton on the Bills AFC rivals among others..........really started to lap him in terms of impact on a game to game basis. Using all that draft capital on Edmunds.......only to put him in a position he isn't instinctive enough to play........... looks like a waste in hindsight.
  23. Skipping 2020. Ghosting the team the next offseason and not showing up until MANDATORY OTA's when he hadn't played in almost 18 months at that point. Refusing the vax after all of that and then predictably getting quite ill and missing time with Covid after already missing time with multiple injuries that may or may not have been related to almost two years without football activity. I should add that there is also $3.5M in real money the franchise can save if they dump him in the next month............and they may deem that important with signings and re-structures necessary........which is another non-football matter.
  24. I think Khalil Mack played on a $2M base salary last season. If you are willing to backload a deal you can easily get a Von Miller in with $7M in cap room..........that is how valuable that much cap room is. I know there are runnin' back truthers on TSW but once again the lead RB's in the SB are bit players...........if they have a big game it will be because of their OL or their passing game opening up the LOS or their defense controlling the game. RB's are bit players HEAVILY reliant on a number of other players excelling at their job. Pass rushers on the other hand........those are individual difference makers in the NFL. The one-on-one battles are your best chance to make game changing plays in the NFL and with rare exception(like Aaron Donald) those big play opportunities come from edge and island positions so that's the difference between giving an arrow down trajectory Saquon Barkley the same cap space as Mario Addison who was coming off a 10 sack season with Carolina.
