That honestly doesnt sound like that much. If you trade for Wilson you need a QB. Assuming one of those firsts was this years, CHI picks 20 so no QB. Assuming Wilson helps out the team youre still picking in the late teens - late 20s for two more years...yay? and two starters? Who gives about two starters when it comes to trading picks. Without Wilson the Seahawks are toast. Any trade starts at 4 first rounders.

This is my thought. I see it all over that "we get Star back...". In theory, the best version of Star will help everyones job but to bank on a guy that didnt play football for over a year, and was just average or above average when he did, to come in and re-vamp our defense is a reach. We need to get better on the D-line. So far we have not.

I tend to agree. I like bringing back pieces but bringing back everyone makes improving more difficult.

Should be Watson

Looks like TB played the way we played the Chiefs the first time around. Play deep, make every throw difficult on Mahomes and make them beat you by winning at the LOS. But against us they dominated in the trenches, while Tampa Bay dominated them. I think upgrading he D-line effectiveness will be paramount this season

I love that hes still in OP.

Seems like people are missing that QBs on rookie deals sign EXTENSIONS and not new contracts. Therefore if Allen signs a new deal this offseason it doesnt mean his cap hit will explode for this coming season. It will still be manageable for two seasons before it kicks in. Go take a look at Carson Wentz and see what his cap hit was in 2019, 2020 compared to what it will be this year even though he signed his deal in 2019 for example.

You really think Rogers is going to leave?

Im 32, so I just barely missed being able to remember the Superbowl years but I remember having people over for them. My mom was(is) an absolute die hard and was at a couple of the AFC championships. My first real memory of the Bills are them losing to the Jaguars and I can vividly remember my mom crying during Jims retirement speech. Next indelible memory is the Music City Miracle. Again I can remember me and my mom on our living room floor just stunned. We all know what transpired with the team after that, but despite that my love for them only grew. Eventually my brother also became as die hard as we were. We as a family invested so much into them but for years and years got little in return. After college I moved to Albany but would always make it home for a game or two. After grad school I moved to the bay area. The very first thing I did when I moved there was find a Bills bar. After the first week I was hooked and went back every Sunday, commuting from San Jose at first (a 2-hour train ride, games start at 10 AM mind you). It was there that I met a girl that was also from Rochester like myself. We hung out every Sunday and, to make a long story short, we're now married. Every Sunday for the next seasons we were at the bar together but after the game I would always call my mom back home. The Bills were such a good reason to call her, because between seasons I probably didnt do it enough. My wife and I have since moved back to Rochester to be close to family. We now have an 18 month old and another on the way. I owe the family that I have now to the Buffalo Bills. I owe them many frienships and I owe them for bringing me closer to my family for years and years. Now that Im home we gather every Sunday to watch them. I have a nephew that is 6 and he like to toss the ball around with us. His dad is a big Cowboys fan so I never pushed the Bills on him but this season, every time we play football now, he only wants to be Josh Allen. I used to always be the Bills, now I cant be them anymore haha. My son is being trained daily to say "Hey ey ey ey" and "Go Bills". I have told my family, my son can be whatever he wants in life: an astronaut, a teacher, a dancer a fire-fighter, gay, straight, married, single...doesnt matter, as long as hes a Bills fan.

Well if theyre forced out of bounds behind the LOS it counts as a sack for them

Why cant teams tie a QB pay to a % of the cap instead of an absolute number?

Even more wild is that the entire Lions franchise only has 1(!) single playoff win in the the Superbowl era. Stafford has zero to his name. Most people associate the Lions with ineptitude for good reason, like the Bills and Browns. But at least we had a few runs, Browns have mae an AFC Champ game.

I dont really like it. For a long time I would push back on being apart of "The Mafia". Im not a fan that would argue on twitter or jump through tables the way I thought Mafia Members behaved. For a time it did feel like there was a real separation of "normal fans" and "mafia fans" in behavior and it was ok to delineate. But the term has grown so much, its become ubiquitous and it now associated with being a fan of the team so I guess I am now in the Mafia. I would prefer it went away but I dont think thats possible, probably just my age anyway. If the young kids like it, well, the future is theirs to make it how they want. I wont stand in their way.

I guess both would work since there are a lot of Simmons haters

Allen is 2nd in DVOA against the blitz all season, behind only Mahomes. He is first in the league against Man coverage. It is much more likely that we are succesful against their defense if they play true to their style. If they can force Josh into hero ball it would be the first time all season. That would be playing against their normal tendency. Of course they can do it but it would be difficult on the defense to change schemes. Like I said, Indy kept everyone back and Josh still played really well. I fully expect a great day from our offense, I just think their defense plays right into Dabolls hand. On the other side of the ball though...Im worried.

If WInk wants to play man and blitz Allen I think we can jump on them early. Indy played Joshs kryptonite defense he and still lit it up pretty well. If we score early and get a decent lead that could force Lamar to throw more which obviously is preferred.

Exactly correct.

They also predicted that Biden could win even with a strong polling error in favor of Trump, which is what happened. But some of the win projections in individual states was way off. Why is Wisconsin so hard to poll haha?

Id like to think that if it did ultimately help him calm down he will have learned that about himself and takes steps to keep calm tomorrow.

Id be lying if the thought didnt cross my mind. Ive even joked with friends that if Josh isbad in the home opener next year no fans are ever allowed back into the stadium haha. But even if it did help him he has certainly learned how to play no matter what. Some teams did have fans as well.

I think it has more to do with the broadcast. It says the name of the stadium all over and the announcers a always mention "New Era Field" or whatever several times. And if youre getting national games like the Bills likely will it becomes worth it.

They had something going in the first half that was rattling Allen. For us its easy to say we wont let that happen since, well, we adjusted in that game. But I dont think its unreasonable to say Pitt could also learn from it. Also Pitt did have several drops. You remove those, get a bit healthier on defense and Ben stretches the field like they did against the Colts and maybe. I wouldnt bet on it though. I think were a tier above them.

M&T already does Baltimore, bu I guess they doesnt exclude them from this (see Mercedes-Benz). I think Tim Hortons is a dark horse.

We might not play them at all. If the Steelers win we automatically play them. Then Titans (if they win against Bal.) would have to beat KC for us to see them if we can get past Pittsburgh

He acts like a fan out there. Bragging about records to the other team and "What a cannon" as he watches in awe.
