In addition, DP, our dead cap will be primarily cleared so we’ll have a great deal of $ for extending those who need it, and possibly getting one big FA. Pegula has been known these last several years to spend to the cap, and willing to go in cap to cash, meaning use his personal $ to afford these contracts. We just need to have a solid year, this year, and of course every year is the SB, but that is a tough order this year. I think we can get to at least the AFCCG, as a number of teams have flaws even the Ravens and Chiefs.

I agree we should bounce back, but the Texans are no pushover. I’m not worried about the Jets, Titans, and Fish. The Seahawks could be a challenge as they keep winning.

Agreed, the RB does best in a rhythm.

808, although I agree, what team would trade their successful kicker? That’s the problem. Just as their are not that many men on the planet that be a successful QB, the same holds true for K.

As much as I like the trade idea, I seriously doubt the Browns would be up for it.

I was going to write the same. A tryout hurts no one, and if worthy, a PS spot. All teams have their main guy, but he would probably be a good in the wings option.

Exactly. I’ll worry about the Jests once we get past the Texans. This is no slouch team. Revisit this thread next week and I’m all in on discussing it. We have another week to monitor the Jets. Besides, The Jets face the undefeated Vikings. That should be an evaluation.

Actually Murdock, McD led teams have not been beaten by more than 6 points in 42 games, when if memory serves was against the Colts. With that said, it was a horrendous loss, and almost no redeemable aspects other than Allen played as well as one could given how poor the line played. I just as repulsed as the next poster, but we almost always come back from a bad loos with success. We’ll see what happens in Houston. We certainly need to get the bad taste out of our mouth.

Shakir is excellent, but he can’t do it alone. I do see Ethan’s point in the others look pedestrian at best.

I was going to echo the same comments as they are ranked at the bottom in explosive plays. Why we didn’t expose that weakness with the best deep threat QB in the league is unexplainable. We could’ve put them back on their heels amd the outcome would be different. Im so disgusted with their play last night and their strategy, I went to bed and refused to get in the board. We’ll bounce back this week is my guess.

Why keep reliving the drought? It’s over. We have Josh. I’m one to live for today and tomorrow. Past is prologue.

I’d love the high pick too, but Beane has been known to do well with even late picks. I’m happy for him. He’s suffered on bad teams minus his one game the the 9ers.

Josh is…, INEVITABLE!

Guys, when did this board turn into the grammar police. I thought this is a place we can discuss respectfully the Bills and NFL issues. For me, I could care less if you make a comment that ends in a preposition. Considering, I have 44 doctoral hours beyond my Masters degree,I could care less about syntax and grammar. For me, it’s a safe zone. To the OP, thanks 619 for youre point on the consistent success of our beloved Bills. It was quite impressive, and I’ll use it when I go to my favorite spots bar on Sundays.

$80 mil. Is in my opinion, an exaggeration. $60 mil sure as someone will break it, but we’ve also increased the cap by $20 mil/yr. The key question is % if the cap as it’s a fluid number. Josh a few years ago was the 2nd highest paid QB until he’s not. Now I believe he’s 13th.. im not sure why people get so obsessed with a number when first, it’s not the posters $, and 2nd, it’s fluid target. Beane has been masterful with the cap and when to pull the trigger on extensions.

Chand, thanks for asking and yes, I’m fine. My wife’s parents home lost power last night, but back on today so just an inconvenience for about 8 hours. At our home, it was just a bunch of heavy winds and rain gusts most of the night. I believe you live in Jax and you know the deal with FL meteorologists where they scare ever living heck out of the little old ladies and people in their manufactured homes. As far as the topic, I truly don’t mind an occasional night game, but this is overkill. I’m not griping,but just frustrated I constantly am caught sleeping 4-5 hours and it gets old. I can’t change my work schedule and never sleep past 5 am. On weekends try to sleep til 6 am, but inevitably it rarely happens as my body clock is conditioned to get up. Any way, enough of my grumpy old man griping. We can all hopefully enjoy another victory Monday after we contain Lamar and King Henry.

Exactly.

Donuts, well written, amd not even sure who are these talking heads, but the fact Sal and Jeremy bring up not the # of turnovers, it’s the TD to Int %. He’s one of the best. Talking heads have nothing to talk about with Josh as he’s one of the top 2 in the NFL and it’s not close with Lamar. Lamar is a good QB, but he’s not in Mahomes or Super Allen’s league. Lamar has been the darling by media, and have my reasons on that, but when you’re Josh who has consecutively started approximately 100 games or so, and has a vastly higher TD’s than about anyone in NFL history for that # of years, and will no doubt someday be in the HOF. I'm feeling confident on Sunday night as it will be our biggest test this year, but we can do it. Lamar has been better contained by McD’s Bills defense than just about anyone. The Line will have to contain the edge and keep everything inside. King Henry in addition has some explosive plays against the Bills, but these are breakdowns on the interior. Overall his YPR have been pedestrian minus the 80 yard runs that skews everything.

Sorry bud as I’m sure you’re looking for ways to improve, but the simple fact is you can get a top draft prospect with a 6th round pick. My hope is Bass has some Sports Psychologist fix him this year, because it’s not his leg that’s the problem. It’s his head. On the other hand, a trade makes no sense. A draft next year makes perfect sense if the season persists this way.

Virg, I agree with almost everything other than his promotion to HC next year. It’s possible, but he’ll make a stronger case for a decent team in two years. McD had the perfect storm as he had talent entering 2017, but had to build a team, get rid of bloated contracts, and restart. He did that in 2018, it started to bear results in 2019 and beyond. If Brady is smart, he won’t be desperate and take a Panthers type job. A team like the Bears if they remove their coach eventually, has a lot of talent, and can be a build up into something great. That’s just one example. I’m sure there are others. Why not be picky and choose a talented team underperforming. it may be wishful thinking, but he’s young and smart. McD took our job as he s smart and a team builder. He aligned with Beane and what they built was so impressive. That’s why I shrug off the “it’s his last year talk”. I’m constantly reminded of the drought with these conversations. People just don’t remember how horrible it was for 17 years. It was a nightmare over and over again with no hope of success anytime soon.

Jack, as always interesting info. Personally, I can’t stand these games as I’m up at 5 am. Each day so I always miserable the day after a Bills game. I can live with 5 hours, but less stinks. I do love 4 pm games as it’s easy and you get the 1 pm games out if the way so you know what the landscape looks like from the early games. I don’t mind an occasional, but this enamored opinion of night games is for those who sleep obviously until 6 am or later.

Sabres, you mean Nick Wrong. That hot take baffoon is doing nothing but getting more clicks. It’s one of the reasons I won’t watch so many so of those shows. I think I’ve mentioned on the board before I enjoy the morning WGR stuff as I feel I’m still connected to Buffalo, and MTC on NFLR. Those guys are phenomenal in a not hot take, better analysis of the whole league. GMFB is ok, but I’m so busy all day I have more time for radio as in medical sales. I’m perpetually driving to another hospital or specialist to help patients. My daughter hated when younger I rarely put in music.

Noggin, I agree you stick with an excellent tandem in Douglas and Benford. I’m almost always with Donuts, but you made the case. If we lose Josh, then it makes sense, but otherwise another two years for Douglas makes sense. Contracts can be written so they are loaded into a future year when we have cap space. As far as organizational continuity, it’s one of the Bills best strengths. These players are developing so well because of the right coaches, amd logevity, to keep the band going, vs. blowing it up every three years. That’s a death sentence for recurrent playoffs.

I thought it was just a band from the 70’s and 80’s. Just kidding Hondo. I’m not as familiar as you with ELO. It’s an interesting topic.

I’m in the camp of let’s get younger with extended contracts. This year we’ll see what we have, hopefully use our 1st or 2nd round pick in another WR (preferably like Shakir), and then we’ll hopefully get better. There are other opportunities, but none more pressing than WR. We’ll know by the end of the year if we have our Safeties in hand, we have our D Line and LB’s. On offense we have one of the best O Lines in the NFL, the 4th best RB from last year, the best TE tandem in football, and a unicorn in a QB. One can make a case for a late rd pick for a K, and of course more depth. I also advocate the case extending rising stars is excellent like Benford, Douglas is a consideration, GROOT of course, etc. We need this gang together, not over priced free agents. We have a lot of picks next year. I know this is really a February topic, amd honestly I’m bored from this dumb Hurricane that will blow past us again in Tampa. It’s already almost Tallahassee bound and will be in NC by late morning.
