All winning a few more games with a Barkley does is push them further and further from the top of the board.
The Giants, Mara specifically, made a mistake in mandating that DJ was his boy and that Schoen and Daboll were effectively married to him.
Once that's the "plan," paying Barkley is a mistake. If DJ works, well you probably don't want to pay both. If DJ doesn't and flames out spectacularly? Having a great RB to win 6 games instead of 3 is drought era Bills magic.
The Giants will try to find a QB now. If they succeed, all will be forgiven, if they fail, heads will roll. Especially because Malik will likely emerge as a superstar sooner than later with halfway competent QB play.
generally what I’ve told giants fans.
having a cornerstone back with no qb is a rough spot. You put hard mileage on him only to make it harder for you to get a qb?
Their calculus becomes something like darnold/cousins plus saquon? I guess?
that playoff season simultaneously bought them time but also closed a lot of paths forward

I think they do know the winners ahead of time. Buffalo Bills media has their tweets out within minutes. No way they have graphics and stuff made that fast. They are already prepared.
You could just have them ready for each award… just in case-

Giants had 3 wins this year. They are soooo far away. By the time they even have a chance of being good, he will be like 30
I could listen that they should have traded him and got value. But I don't think re signing him makes sense, given where they are as a franchise
yea, I don’t think they’ve managed the roster well but keeping Barkley and not getting a qb is a total purgatory plan-

Do they really leak it? I'm not as confident. I'm hopeful, but not as confident.
They script the games, and you think the awards show is off the cuff? Come on-

I wonder about the “Seahawks old approach”. Are their fans still tormented and resentful about throwing the ball at the goal line instead of handing it to Marshawn Lynch to win the Super Bowl? Is that their 13 seconds? Ours was “just” the AFCCG. Time does not change anything, but the sting lessens. The better you can get over it the happier you will be.
they at least got a championship stilli doubt that makes that pass better, but perhaps a little less focused on as it was not the pinnacle of their achievement

That tracks. A friend of mine had been keeping an eye on tickets before our game, just in case. He said the ones he looked at that were $10K each are now $6,500, and lower bowl 20 yard line seats that were $14K are now $9K.
Sellers were hoping for a Bills Mafia tax.
honestly, I think the biggest thing is it’s near impossible to get a hotel room - so the buying market with big funds is shrinking. No celeb wants to stay in Baton Rouge-

The Seahawks became the Seahawks back then by having two or three really good drafts in a row. It wasn't just the secondary. They got a lot of good players on both sides of the ball.
yea, I mean cliff avril was a good pass rusher. Bruce Irvin. Michael Bennett. At linebacker they had Bobby Wagner and kj wright.
I think finding Josh a WR may be easier than finding 7 defenders

Gonna be the first game of the season so they have a bye week before and likely gonna be on a Friday so they have a couple extra days the week after. I’m not a fan of games in vastly different time zones even with added prep time.
to put teams on a plane for 48 hours round trip to play in Australia in a game where the outcome matters is just terriblethere’s a reason this isn’t a weekend getaway destination

Nah we need a playmaker at WR. Someone that’s going to command a double team. If they can find upgrade to Mack Hollins or Amari Cooper they should do it
I’ll continue to say that running the ball 100+ times with JA17 is a symptom of a problem that we would be well served to solve-

My wife and I strongly considered joining one, until we found that we could get everything offered in the program at the local farmers market and community co-op market. Saved a bit of money in the process as we only bought what we needed for a particular time.
That’s roughly where we landed.
The savings weren’t worth the loss of flexibility

That’s my #1 draft crush. Jack is shooting up draft boards after 3 impressive days at senior bowl. Hes a great blocker, route runner, and deep . I’ve seen Jack now projected in the 2nd round, and I’d like to see Buffalo use a 2nd on him. Jack oozes Bills DNA
we will see what he runs - I worry he’s another guy that just isn’t truly fast enough to change what’s missing in our offensebut lord does he scream “buffalo bills wide receiver”

Can anyone verify if the below Tweet is true?
If it IS true, it is surely THE primary reason that Josh Allen doesn't have a ring yet.
For a defensive minded head coach who relentlessly preaches accountability, self-scouting, and growth mindset, this is just mind numbingly bad. Unforgivable, even.
What needs to happen for this to change?
cherry picking 5 losses to compare to I’m not sure what -
Not winning with a new play caller is a textbook reason not to build with a defensive head coach

I’ll say I’ve thought of him as a guy on the radar before but after the senior bowl mvp he will be a familiar name to many more here: jack bech
i don’t love him as the guy I’d want to target but boy does he present as a prototype for what we’ve seen in our wr room. Large frame, physical blocker… has long speed but not super twitchy.
character wise- is from a really solid family. Brother played at Princeton and died saving others during the NYD attack in NOLA.
just strikes me as the absolute prototype for this regime as a mid round pick, so I’d be curious to see a work up from someone that’s seen more TCU games.

It's a good Dline class this year but if I could trade my first for Max Crosby I'd seriously consider it. I think Garrett is a pipe dream. The price for him is starting at two first rounders, especially for a team like the Bills picking #30.
Id be curious to see Crosby’s effect on our defense both physically but also mentally-

All good, it was just you said 7 more points in your previous post
Again, nobody has once said not to address WR. And this above reads like you want to go all in on WR in case someone else gets hurt when WR injuries had zero to do with our playoff loss this year, or any year for that matter. Although Defensive issues sure have been a part of our playoff losses.
But that was literally our entire season this year...a season where he had the least % of plays in history with a sack or turnover, a season where he wasn't even sacked for 4 straight games, a season where we were the 16th best offense in the history of the NFL.
And again, no one is saying don't add a WR, literally no one. Its clear as day that WR along with DL, S, and CB are our 4 biggest needs/priorities entering the offseason. I have even personally stated WR is definitely a need and a priority. The debate is on those people who want to over spend on one WR and then just patch work our defense again. That has already not worked for teams like the Dolphins, Bengals, etc.
We already score more points than Vikings with Jefferson/Addison...Miami with Hill/Waddle...Eagles with Brown/DeVonta and Barkley...Bengals with Burrow, Chase, and Higgins. We score more points than anyone has for the past 5 seasons. But who is in the SB going for their record 3rd straight SB Win? A team with a mediocre offense that didn't score 30 even one time...UNTIL...they played the Bills in the AFCCG. Who was the last dynasty before the Chiefs? Pats who won their 6 SB's with average receiving weapons at WR for Brady or worse but they always had guys that fit their system and a run game and a defense to support the greatness of what Brady did on the field.
NOTE: Mahomes and Chiefs best offensive season - Didn't reach the SB (2018 they had 3rd best offense in history). The last time Mahomes was in the SB with an elite WR (Hill) they got blown out by the Bucs when their defense shut down the Chiefs. Brady's best offensive season - Lost in the SB to Eli Manning when the Giants D shut down the then highest scoring offense in history. Interesting enough, Brady's other SB loss was when he threw for over 500 yards in the Super Bowl and still lost to Nick Foles. Yet Brady's first SB win...they beat the "Greatest show on Turf" shutting down the vaulted Rams offense and throwing to scrubs at WR. Brady's last SB win in NE...they only scored 13 points and still won by TWO scores when they shut down the again vaulted Rams offense with McVay and held them to 3 points.
So when in history does going all in on WR's and neglecting defense translate into a SB win? How many times has that ever worked? Now go look at see how many times a defense made a big impact on a teams SB victory...when a defense countered an elite offense. Even look back at all the SB winner the past 20 years...not many even had an elite WR.
Again...when you score over 31 a game (and that is after we took the final week off essentially too), expecting to score more isn't easily accomplished. But when your defense is in the bottom of the league on 3rd down...bottom of the league on number of first downs allowed...and so on...adding a difference maker can impact that in a big way and make a more significant impact, especially when just a single stop on 3rd/4th down on one of the Chiefs scoring drives literally changes the losses to a win in our last 3 postseason losses to them.
Dumped resources into our D? Why do people keep saying this? We used 3 of our last 5 first round picks on weapons for Josh. We have used 4 of our last 6 picks in the first 2 rounds of the draft on offense. We had a draft a couple years ago where the entire draft but one pick was offense. We already spent our 3rd this year on a WR in Cooper.
what I’m playing to is that he had 102 rush attempts on top of hits making miraculous throws on top of those limited sacks.
the broken hand this year, the shoulder injuries…
and yes, I do think the state of the WR room contributed to that- including the Samuel injury, coopers wrist, Keon etc…
if we could run him 50% of that, and save a few super man throws - that’s maybe 60 fewer hits. 3.5 fewer times every week he’s peeling himself off the turf.
but you need to surround him with more talent to keep the results while putting a limiter on his explosive contributions
and then come January suddenly you have a healthier guy, more talent around him AND can put his cape on and get those extra 7 points
we ask him to do too much and we’ve created margins of error that are too thin to get to the results the offense needs/expects. Maybe Keon/cooper/keon/samuel end up being that core next year.

This has everything to do with the ppl around Allen. Full stop. I understand it's a team game, but if you're asking more from the greatest statistical QB in NFL playoff history, youre being an #######
yea, we are watching what may be the best ever and people are nickel and diming single reads to say it was him.
sure he mishandled a snap. The last two weeks his opposing qb lost fumbles (2 time mvp and possibly the goat). Even his mishaps right now are smaller than the best the league has

Stats dont always tell the entire story. He had a fine game but it wasnt great. The fumbled snap put them behind schedule for a first down. He failed to recognize where the blitz was coming from on the last play of the game. While the center makes the line call, the Quarterback needs to recognize where the blitz is coming from to put the lineman in the right position to make that call.
Josh is an absolute dog and a likely future hall of famer but part of the loss is certainly on him.
he wasn’t literally perfect?!?-

I mentioned this before, but on Sunday afternoon, a caller into WGR told Jeremy and Nate that he noticed Allen always tush pushes/sneaks to the left pushing off his right foot. He mentioned the Chiefs would certainly be aware of this and be prepared, although Jeremy and Nate more or less dismissed him.
I keep thinking about that caller.
we have been talking about this since before the Tennessee miss. The thing is that even scouted and known, the tush push is usually a 99% play because it’s near impossible to stop a few inches in that situationsetting aside the ref issue I’d be real curious to see more of their magic bullet because it’s been years of the same play and they stopped it more times in that game than the rest of the league since 2022

Bills Super Bowl Hypothetical

that the stadium is downtown and everything is walkable is why this is the answer
