Correct- their expectations are to win the Super Bowl either way. If you don’t win one with him, then you failed. If they had not made the trade- we’ll never know what would have happened. They may have drafted and signed players that could’ve gotten them a SB. Maybe not. What the trade does is put an expiration date (while parsons is on the team) on winning a SB. Without the trade, it’s much more difficult to put an expiration date on it as we’ll never know how long the assets would’ve contributed to the team.

IMO- it’s different based on the possible outcomes- which we will never know how it would’ve turned out. They could have used those assets on players and not won a SB too- that also would’ve been a failure. But then again- they may have landed the right players and won a SB. It’s very possible/likely that they don’t win a Super Bowl in either way, trade or no trade. grading a trade is based on results imo. If they don’t win the SB with Micah- then can be viewed as a failure and I would understand why. They failed in their end goal. That’s just how I see things. You see differently- all good

We’re talking about something subjective- whether a team “won a trade”. imo- It all depends on how high a bar the teams sets their bar. When the Bills traded for Diggs- we’re all fairly confidant that their main goal was to help Josh Allen become the best QB he can become. We weren’t a Super Bowl contender yet. Sure, they’d have liked to win a SB too, but supporting Josh was goal #1 imo. They accomplished that. When the Bills drafted Bruce- they were garbage and just adding building blocks for the franchises future was the goal. The packers have their QB and have paid him top dollar. They have some solid weapons under contract for the next few years and a HC they believe is their long term guy. I don’t believe that they gave up those picks and mortgaged that much cap in order to just get better on D. They could’ve signed several players this offseason if they just wanted to improve and would have lots more cap space and multiple draft picks to continue to add to their talent level regarding the bolded- the draft picks and salary cap space wouldn’t be used to get “a” player. They would be used to get several players. The cowboys had a mini dynasty because they hit on those assets acquired for “a” player. if they don’t win a Super Bowl with parsons- then they failed at achieving the goal that they have set for themselves. They have their QB and HC. Once you have them, you have one goal build to win a SB. No one will know what the assets traded away would’ve yielded had they held onto the them- but not winning a SB with him is an L in terms of their build. I get your points though and I don’t think that you’re wrong due to this being subjective. If I were the packers GM- and the team didn’t win a SB with parsons- I’d view that as a failure in my eyes.

It was a calculated tackle as well. He waited until Henry started to extend for the stiff arm and then batted it away to secure the tackle. Heady play

Based on the opponent, I’d prefer Strong start this week vs the Jets. He’s a better tackler and I expect the Jets to focus on the run, screens and short pass game vs our D. I also think strong would be more effective getting Fields down on his scrambles. The Jets WRs look to be Wilson, Tyler Johnson (who I like more than most) and Lazard. Stick Benford on Wilson and I don’t think those guys would be able to take consistent advantage of Strong in the pass game. On top of that, after missing 3 weeks of practice, I don’t think 3 days of limited practice is enough to get Tre back right. That said- I believe McD will start Tre if he dresses

How ironic And his uplifting brigade of sadness

Sad, but this has been the story of Ethan’s career at TBD.

Might be a smart move due to the Jets lack of WR talent. I thought Williams was a plus starter vs the run last season. Not so much vs the ravens though

Don’t be eating no wings with that on!! clean look and wish I could wear that one but I don’t trust myself!

Would be a waste of a promotion imo. Each player gets 3

It does so far- but they also faced 2 of the best pass rushes in the league. his OL is definitely resembling the Houston OL.

Just wait for the injury report a week from now

Happy birthday Scott!!

Same. Stud. Just needs to make a couple huge plays in the Afccg to get the doubters off of his back

Most likely a waste of money.

“Here we go again” makes sense to me. I feel that I say that every week 2-3 time a game

Luckily we have Ty Johnson. If Cook is out, Ty SHOULD be our RB1. But who knows, maybe they keep him in the same role. that drop was painful to watch as he’s been so money with the Bills, but I’m glad he got it out of the way in week 1. I expect an efficient and clutch season out of 26

I don’t think you can count flowers’ big play against Benford. He was in coverage but I don’t see any way that any CB could’ve fought off Stanley in that block.

I agree that our defense will improve as the year goes on with the return of a handful of guys. The key will be keeping the current group healthy. Especially Benford

I can’t stand the NFL for rarely ever voting 2 players from the same to win the award on O and D. ED was 💯 robbed! Olukoun won the award on D while playing against the powerhouse Panthers…. He had 6 tackles- 4 assists- 1 Int off of a tipped pass and a forced fumble. Ed single handedly won the game for the Bills on the defensive side of the ball while getting very little help from anyone else. Pretty sure was the only reason the ravens punted even once. Forced the game winning fumble and held them to a long FG with his sack on the first drive. While the ravens scored 40, Ed was the 2nd best player on the field for both teams behind 17. Henry and Lamar are better players, but neither were better on Sunday imo. Henry went untouched most of the game.

Nice showing for your O vs what looks like a very good D on paper. bad showing by your D vs what looks like a middling offense. some teams find a was to win. Some teams find a way to lose. I think it’ll be a good game if Fields plays like he did last week. Closer than many expect. 87-15 Bills

I hear ya, but he didn’t just look like dump vs Josh Allen. He looked like dump covering WRs. I was hoping we’d sign him because I thought he would help until he inevitably gets injured. At this point- I think there’s a good chance that he’s toast
