The Douglas situation is fascinating to me. I wonder what the plan would be then: CB1: Benford CB2: Tre? CB3: Elam And then maybe draft a depth CB/ core 4 special teamer to fill the siran Neal role in the mid rounds? (If they were to cut Neal and save some cap that is)

Greatest comedy show of all time

Yep. Our cap situation sucks but at least we have our QB paid. They still have Tua on a rookie deal lol. And def don't feel bad for them as well, especially when they were laughing when Milano went down

It will be rough but they can backload a lot of their contracts and re structure their big ones. Bengals window will be at least 2-3 more years until they start running into cap issues

Is it McDermott that plays Reid well, or is is it Josh Allen who is the only qb in the game who can go toe to toe with Mahomes? (regular season McDermott does good against Andy, but that doesn't matter)

You mean the 80 yard TD Diggs dropped on the final drive?

Love this but... How the hell is Tua considered one of the most "clutch QBs"? lol It amazes me some people treat it like it's boxing. "Josh has to beat Mahomes" "burrow already beat Mahomes". It's such a lazy argument and makes me wonder if people even watch the games

Agreed about benford. Tre would scare me at safety though. Historically he is a horrible tackler. Not ideal for what you need to have in a safety haha

I would definitely not move benford to safety. I just was asking him as he suggested Tre might be back and I was saying in order to make a spot for him, Elam would have to be traded or benford would have to transition to safety. Again, I def wouldn't move him to safety as you don't mess with a good young corner, but it has been a popular suggestion amongst a lot of bills fans

I actually agree a lot of what you're saying with Tre. However where it gets tricky is the numbers game at corner as of now. 1. douglas 2. benford 3. Elam 4. Tre only 3 of those guys are going to be game day active. I'm assuming you would want to trade Elam or move benford to safety? As something would have to be done for Tre to be on the roster

Nice post, thanks for the breakdown

You got to be careful about cause /correlation.. O line could have played worse for many different ressons and it's extremely shallow just to isolate it to one player going out. (Who's a below average player pretty objectively)

My friend is a diehard fan and said Feliciano was a horrible for the most part all season long. Even great teams have holes in their roster. (Just look at the chiefs receiving group)

I was pretty skeptical of it at the time as im not just saying this now. Kickers are so up and down in the nfl and there's really only a couple guys you can trust year in and year out. While bass was "good" his first 3 years, he was never really a top tier kicker IMO Why not just let him play out the 4th year of his contract and then make a decision from there?

The biggest issues in my opinion is injuries, especially on defence. 2021- Tre white- prob win that chiefs game with him 2022- tons of injuries on d but I still think they lose to the bengals as bills were flat 2023- Down to our 4th string retired linebacker in Klein covering Kelce Meanwhile chiefs stayed relatively healthy during those games and didn't have any major pieces missing. I am not a "excuse guy " but objectively the bills have had some bad luck with injuries, especially on the d side

Oh Von miller- you mean the guy who didn't play the back half of the season last year and the guy who got payed like 4 mil per tackle this year? The man was a healthy scratch this year for a game, that's how bad he was🤢 Diggs is close but I don't think he will make it - and he comes up small every time they play the chiefs, unlike what the chief elite players do to us Tre white no way as injuries stopped that in 2021 I agree. I'm not sure if you read the convo in what I was saying to the other poster, but that's exactly what I'm trying to say about Lamar vs josh. Where I disagree with though is "Josh beating Mahomes". It is not boxing and a 1 on 1 matchup. 13 seconds game was Josh's fault? Even this year. Diggs drops a 80 yard TD and our 5 mil kicker shanks a kick. If Josh played bad against the chiefs I would agree. But the guy has been elite against the chiefs in the playoffs the last two times they lost and it's way more to do with the coaching/supporting cast than "Josh not beating Mahomes"

Let's keep it super simple: How many hall of famers has Mahomes played with? Hill, Andy Reid, Kelce, Chris jones at a minimum? So 4. And those guys all come up massive in big games for the chiefs. Josh? 0...

Lamar will prob have 2 mvps and Josh has 0- does that mean he's objectively better than Josh? Eli has 2 rings, Josh has 0. Does that mean he's objectively better than Josh? Brock Purdy has been to a SB and is in the mvp race- is he objectively better than Josh? Got to be a bit careful when you just look at "objective" things as it doesn't tell the whole story at all. It is a complete team game

Gabe Davis? lol.. You are missing two massive factors here Chiefs o line, and Andy Reid. Bills o line was finally descent this year. But McDermott doesn't come even close to Andy Reid and chiefs o line has been top 5 (at least) in football the last 4-5 years.

This was the big off season move I was looking for

I mean, I see your point about Mahomes as it's hard to argue he's not #1 now. But it is a team sport and personally I'm not a fan of judging players just by championships. Does Mahomes go to 4 super bowls without one of the greatest head coaches and tight ends of all time? Not too mention other hall of famers he has played with. (Hill, Chris jones) (And even an all time clutch DC in Spags)

I think thats worth it for a franchise QB. Like if we are in the drought years, I would have been thrilled to do that for a QB like Lamar. But the reason teams were scared off was because Lamar was looking for fully guaranteed money and no owner/gm was going to trade those assets and give him the fully guaranteed deal

"Great" is over stating it I think. He is a descent/good QB. But I don't think he's good enough to consistently compete with josh, Mahomes, burrow etc

I will almost guarantee he gets more. The cap goes up every year, so that's just the way it works. He will probably get 45-48 per year if I were to guess. Term/guarantees will Be the big numbers to look at though

This is not a boxing match. It's not "burrow vs josh ". Burrow plays against the bills defence and Josh plays against the bengals defence. Spags always gets "slapped " by Josh , where his defences does well against burrow in the playoffs
