I feel like this might encourage someone to start looking into stuff like Carbon Fiber to incorporate into pads.

I'm not sure Elam has the instincts to be a CB1. I definitely think he's got a future as a starter in the League though. My concern is around Tre. If he didn't have a 22M dead cap hit there's a chance he could get cut because he simply doesn't have the explosiveness to be paid like a CB1, unless he continues to regain his pop this off season. But untill that happens, the Bills have a weakness at corner, made worse by Hamlin's loss. He struggled a bunch this year, but you could see signs of a pretty good strong safety with more experience, which would have made it easy to let Mycah go this off season and save a much needed 3M on the cap. Now they're going to have to eat a 10M cap hit for a 33 year old safety coming off a major neck injury. This is going to be, perhaps, Beane's most important, and difficult off season. WR2 is way down the list for me. You have Josh Allen, Diggs, Dawson Knox and an emerging RB in Cook...Davis, for all his troubles, is good enough for now. Outside upgrading RT and filling LG (can't resign Saffold), wouldn't really touch the starting offense. Just not worth it in terms of opportunity cost elsewhere

Bills have at least 2 glaring needs off the top of my head at CB1 and LG, and possibly RT as well. Not mention neither Hyde nor Poyer are under contract after this season

In the Rose Bowl, KeAndre Lambert-Smith caught a long TD for Penn State, and celebrated with a fake hammy injury. Franklin was ready to murder him, and was pretty salty about it in the post game presser haha.... I don't know how this started, but these dudes gonna put their coaches through some stuff with the fake injury celebration

I guess I don't want to get into a political narrative debate, so all I'll say is that much of the crime in Chicago is concentrated in areas of lower SES, while the higher SES/Tourist areas are quite safe. I know some people in Chicago and the numbers back that up as well. Larger point, it doesn't matter where in the country you are, the lower the SES, the higher the crime rates.

That's just...Chicago is great. It's doing great, a quick google search tells me the city had its highest growth rate since 2000.

I would say spending multiple billions on a football stadium is far more embarrassing. For me, the stadium crap is by far the worst part of pro sports. Multi-Billionairs demanding tax payers to fund their multi-billion dollar playgrounds, or threatening to tear their team from their hearts. And we just had evidence of how much these clubs mean to the local communities. It's the most immoral thing in sports.

New Titans stadium will be 150% more than what the Bills stadium will be. 2.1B vs 1.4B My suspicion is the new Bears stadium project will be between 3-4B

I mean there's a difference in the populace & wealth & revenue among Western NY, the greater Chicago area, and the Nashville metro area.

So, I think he has room to improve and grow, but I also think he deserves a bunch of credit for adjusting the system and play calling as his teams strengths and weaknesses changed on the fly, the Bills kept piling up points regardless. Yes, Allen has a ton to do with that, but Dorsey also had to adjust to a line that turned out to be not that good, WRs outside of Diggs that were hugely inconsistent, and RBs who went up and down. It;s always so easy as fans to look at the gaqme and be like "play calling sucks" because things don't work out, but the Bills talent on O outside of Allen was not a top 5 roster, and they ended up being a top 2 offense. I can absolutely see why teams are interested in Dorsey - especially when you consider he was Daboll trained, and look how well Daboll did in his first year

I thought his one play was a great one, and his other target felt like a near big play as well. Also it looked like Isiah was struggling out there. But you’re right. I shouldn’t have read so much into it, and my take isn’t logical

He was fairly anonymous on Sunday, and I think Shakir had more targets. Hard to read too much into that. But it wouldn't surprise me if Shakir rose to the top of the depth chart

After the game he (Tre) talked about the week being a sh!tshow, think struggle to rest (talked about a 3am text), being super close being in that DB room, and seeing Damar collapse every time he closed his eyes. I'm not saying he shouldn't play, because every human deals with this kind of stuff differently, and for some playing might be best. But I hope he's not feeling, not given, pressure to play regardless of his mental state. If he needs to be away from the game for awhile so he can climb back down from that state, I'd hope he's afforded that. Ultimately, being human and being treated as a human with emotions, is more important than the playoffs and SB For me, he's kind of in the same boat as Mitch Morse. I wish both of them would retire rich, and with whatever health they currently have. 6 concussions over a career us really scary. 3 in one season is terrifying

Before I pay Hurts that kind of money I need more surety he can operate at a high level with mostly average talent around him, or need great talent (like he has now) around him to be great. Because once you’re paying him 40-50M he’ll be expected to raise up averahe talent like Allen and Mahomes do

I don’t understand even after reading it (my fault not yours) but i feel better knowing that someone in the community understands why and is ok with it

I always assumed it was what Girardi said. Trauma is the worst stuff on earth. Steps recovering from it can inspire swings upward, but ultimately trauma is incredibly draining of spirit and body. The Bills pulling that win out anf getting STRONGER in the 3rd and 4th is among their very best performances of the season, and likely multiple seasons. As a side note, I fear the PTSD impacts on players. Tre was showing classic PTSD symptoms, I hope he'd getting the help he needs and deserves. I would hope any of these players look beyond the game, and take care of their soul and spirit first. You watched a brother die in front of you. Don't minimize that

A week ago this man died on a football field and had to be brought back to life. His strength and modern medicine are...amazing

Not gonna be any one answer. Bengals, Chargers, Chiefs and Jags all have QB who are really able to hurt you with their elite pocket movement against pressure and arm against sub par Man coverage, and if you blitz them and don’t get home you’re totally *****. Lamar presents different problems. At the same time you can set up a zone/man combo, and those can be easily pierced if you have elite slot/TE workers, which at minimum the chiefs and Bengals have, and don’t get own a legit pass rush - which is primarily why the Bills wanted Von Miller. We can talk about coaching as much as you want but really Frazier and McDermott are picking among the least bad options here.

Wow that throw.

Not sure what was going through Josh’s head there…

yep, prioritize to e first here though

Is Tua likely to come back for that?

The one they got 3 points on?

Again, Bills D has been damn good this half

Yeah thought it was OPI
