Beane on the phone with Montavious Maniac right now. Kidding aside, I like this move. Can play slot and safety and should have more tread on the tires than Slay, so maybe a good depth option next year after this evaluation period.

I agree. It's clear that he wasn't intending to retire. He wanted to go to Philly. Flat out. And I'm not sure it's just about Buffalo and that he reports to another more "desirable" city. He's 34, made plenty of cash and has 5 kids and his hottie wife sitting there in Philly. I think it really was Philly or bust, and unfortunately for him, he went bust.

I doubt any player or agent holds that against us. He knew what he was opening himself up to when he forced the Steelers hand. Keep his rights and make him pay back the signing bonus.

You're right. Seems like a dumb take on my part. Guess he's just pissed at Slay and the situation in general. Probably wants to be home for the holidays and I can't blame him. Guy is 34 and has already collected a ring along with a ton of mileage. Very little incentive to grind out a couple additional months in Buffalo. I assume he just retires or finds his way back to the Eagles in a reserve/mentor type role this offseason.

One of the reasons we haven't been able to beat Mahomes in the playoffs is because in those games he gets rid of the ball quickly and plays "Burrow-like." In the regular season he plays loosey goosey Mahomes sandlot ball and we generally fare well against him.

If we go zone, Burrow will pick at our carcass all day long.

You could tell Sean was not happy about the situation when he was on with Sal this morning. He didn't say anything too specific, but I got the feeling that Beane might not be getting a holiday fruitcake from Mrs. McDermott this year.

Allen obviously made that play, but you can't discount that Coleman is also so open due to a lack of respect for his talent. 29 and 22 barely pay him any mind as he jogs by.

Does anyone remember that San Diego Chargers team that finished both first in total Offense and Defense, but somehow still missed the playoffs at 9-7?

He's absolutely legit and I predict he'll be a future superstar (I mean, he's leading the MVP race, so he may already be there). Pocket presence, arm strength, ball placement, wheels and off script ability - it's all there. Averaging 260+ passing yards a game with a mediocre group of playmakers. The Bills' window isn't closed, but it's a hell of a lot tighter now, and that probably holds true for the rest of Josh's career.

Love the optimism, but I'm just hoping we get to 10 or 11 wins and make the postseason. We struggled to score three points in the first half yesterday before the defense picked us up and basically took the game over (along with the running game). We don't look like a team about to win 6 straight, imo.

The guy remained productive until this season. Not sure if he fell off the cliff or it's just McCarthy. Could be worth a look, but would he be willing to take a practice squad role?

I've been critical of him but as far as I'm concerned he gets a statue the moment they win a Super Bowl.

He's a friggin stud. I'll be the first to admit that I never saw this coming when we drafted him.
