Yeah 5 years $50M for a 45% snap guy who made no plays but would "magically" make the defense much better was a big enough mistake. The only time he played anywhere close to what he was getting paid was the brief point early in this season where he was fit and healthy and could rush the passer. So they got like 2 good games for over $40M expended. They need to be able to find a serviceable 1 tech cheap to back up Phillips.........who they really need to re-sign.

So you want to use a 1st round pick on a run defender at a position of high bust rate that gives you 40%-45% of the snaps? Try to remember that job #1 in the NFL is to support your QB...........other than actually getting Josh Allen.........4 of the other 5 #1 picks have been expended on defense. Last I checked the Chiefs finished with a better record than Buffalo and had a bad run defense and are about to advance to their 3rd straight Super Bowl...........so a #1 overall ranked defense like the Bills should probably be enough to "beat other teams". The Bills are not gifted on offense..........Josh Allen has put a lot of hard miles on his body to make it look that way............it's time to change that. The story of this season isn't not being able to stop the run...........it can be summed up by scoring only 9 points in a game in Jacksonville..........on a day when your QB desperately needed a playmaker to pick him up........there weren't any to be found.

Yeah I by no means think they are set at CB..........but given the cap limitations and limited amount of premium picks I put it down far enough on the list that I don't think it can get addressed with any of their premium chips in the draft or FA. There are usually some pretty good athletes at CB in the later rounds..........that's probably their best option there IMO. Dane Jackson has been pretty good........they need to find a more gifted version to add to the mix. Maybe Nick McCloud makes a jump next year too. Nice speed tools there.

Imagine that extremely fat guy playing 35-40 plays against Mahomes. He'd keel over dead. I'd be very leery about throwing first round money at a guy like that. That's bad business.

In fairness...........Tre White couldn't matchup to KC last year in the AFCCG either. Hill ran circles around him when it mattered. I don't think CB is a big priority but they need to keep finding some later in the draft and hopefully find their own JC Jackson. To me.........despite the OL improving late in the season..........it's still about making the supporting cast around Allen better so that he doesn't have to be a battering ram to sustain drives to make it look like they are an explosive offense. They are not. They are currently a station-to-station offense with an explosive QB. Defensively, they need to get a finishing pass rusher..........like Khalil Mack as some have mentioned already..........and find an instinctive and cost effective long term replacement for Tremaine Edmunds in the middle. I couldn't help but wonder what those Mahomes scrambles would have looked like if a then seasoned edge playing Edmunds would have been out there chasing Mahomes around rather than the old men and rookies they had at DE yesterday. That ship has likely sailed. It's time for some people to admit that he's just not ever going to be worth $15M-$20M per year as a MLB........and that being the case it's time to turn the page before he goes from a disappointingly modest positive on D to a big liability on the cap ledger.

Yep. The biggest difference between the Chiefs and Bills is that Mahomes can dump the ball down to Kelce and it can become a 30 yard play and he can dump it to Hill and it can become a 50-60 yard play. Nobody on the Bills can do either.........they are a station-to-station passing attack. All the people talking about improving the defense..........how is the Chiefs defense any better than the Bills? It ain't. The difference between the two teams is playmaking ability in the passing game on offense. I can't believe I can finally say this..........but Allen is the better QB than Mahomes...........but the Bills offense needs to get to the point where they don't need Allen smashing into defenses to sustain drives............running should still be part of his game but they need A LOT more RAC from their receiving corps. A LOT.

A 3rd round pick on a RB is expected to turn into a first option RB. Moss isn't bad but he's not looked like a #1 RB or even shown flashes that he could be one at any point in his 2 year career.

Well if you are a good young assistant coach..........working under McDermott right now would probably look like a fast track.

Giving up a pick that could become a starting OL or WR in a year or two and then paying $7.2M next year for a guy who averaged 3.5 ypc this year and missed most of the previous year would not be cool by any definition. Barkley is less than worthless..........he would cost the Giants draft capital to trade.

To say you hated the Allen pick is even an understatement............you were enraged by that pick..........that's your TSW legacy..........but I mean, gtfoh with MJ.........who's your favorite Chicago Bull now, Giannis?

Nah. It's still on there. Page 12.

I don't see that happening at all..........just pointing out that his absence wasn't a factor and likely wouldn't be significant this week either.

That's what we thought when he missed the AFCCG last year.

Peters was a full-time TE in college so that was his more natural position. He worked out at OT at the combine and looked incredible so he started getting talked up as even a potential 1st round pick. The Arkansas coaching staff sabotaged his ascent by talking him down to teams. Bills were lucky to get him.........then they cut him and he visited the Giants but didn't sign..........then amazingly made it back to the Bills practice squad. Bills really took some risk devoting a precious roster spot to Doyle all season knowing that he wasn't ready to be a swing tackle. Glad they found a way to put him to use late in the year.

Yeah the notion that he's not a great HC without Brady is false. He took over a Browns team that was in a bad way and got them back to the playoffs and was on his way to building a perennial contender before Modell's mistakes caught up with the organization and forced the move..........but the foundation that he laid there is what became the Ravens........one of the top 5 most consistent winning organizations in the 2000's. He's a legitimately great HC............fortunately for the rest of us he's not been a great personnel man.

That was hilarious. Hogboy aka Combo was good at enraging the "low hanging fruit" of the board.

This is why you WANT games against meaningful opponents........even if they are tougher matchups. There are playoff wins..........then there are epic playoff wins. The stage is set for the Bills to not only win.........but win against opponents who just defeating in any game already has great value.

I've been in a few altercations at games where a few punches were thrown but mostly pushing and shoving with drunks and drug addicts who initiated some kind of physical activity. The ones that don't turn into fights tend to be more interesting. One game had a friend sitting next to me with a ski hat with one of those fluffy balls on the top of it and a group of Canadian fans behind him were messing with his hat and mocking him so I got up and grabbed a cup out of one of the guys hands and gave him a hot chocolate facial. They were a little surprised but collected themselves and then decided that I was "going to get it". So I asked who was going to give it to me. They couldn't make up their mind so we left it at that.

No they were filmed at War Memorial Stadium.........The Rock Pile.

I guess maybe write the Bills a letter...........there isn't anything we can do about their focus here. Floating it out there against THIS hated opponent feels goofily superstitious/fatalistic. Remember that those 1990 season Bills were the largest favorite in SB history going into SB XXV.............everyone had assumed that advancing to the SB would mean playing the two-time defending SB champion 49ers so when the seemingly low-powered Giants upset them and became the opponent there was an almost natural let down to boot. This is different..........the Bills are a road underdog playing the AFC SB favorite..........the team that was the Vegas favorite to win this year's SB already just moments after they lost the last one..........and most importantly, the team that knocked them out of the playoffs last year. The potential for a let down would probably be an AFC title game against the Bengals.......I'll take my chances against a young, inexperienced roster playing at Buffalo though..............and even the Titans should bring out the vengeance in the Bills in the next round. I love this matchup for the same reason I loved drawing the Patriots.........the potential for let down is low and the sweetness of victory could be astronomical.

Yep.........they are a good drafting team...........but Jerry's refusal to take a backseat to a powerful HC who won't kiss hisass has lead to him hiring and retaining weak head coaches. He's still determined to win with a Barry Switzer. Love it!

Which is how Wyatt Teller got traded. Ford struggled at tackle in OTA's and camp..........Nsekhe was the backup plan at RT........so Nsekhe and Ford became the RT/RG combo in preseason and Beane suddenly had an unexpected starter log-jamming the guard position. So he had to choose between his higher ceiling second year OG in Teller....who had been the starter at the end of the previous season........... or one of their more "versatile" OL. He chose Ike Boettger........who at the time had been training at all 5 OL positions(though he is now viewed as a guard only, by fans at least). The Cody Ford pick was a very costly case of drafting for immediate need. "We need a tackle" - Brandon Beane, Bills Embedded I don't think Ford is incapable of becoming a good guard........perhaps it will take the tantalizing promise of free agency after the 2022 season to coax the effort, preparation and focus necessary out of him.

Shows the difference between drafting for immediate need(Ford)..........and taking the BPA(Brown). The Ford pick should have been DK Metcalf............but Brown is an athletic freak at RT that is similar to how Metcalf was testing. Brown tested thru the roof for a tackle.

I don't think there is any question that Dallas was the biggest underachieving team. They are loaded with difference-making on-the-hoof talent on both sides of the ball. So glad McCarthy is going to be back and sabotage them again.
