  1. This tax issue is real, and may account for Buffalo having some issues signing free agents.

    Buffalo Bills player Jordan Poyer is the latest to slam New York taxes and says he’d ‘love to go to a state that doesn’t take half my money’ (yahoo.com)

    Sorry, the link didn't come over?

    Having to have a roommate is weird. When the day is over, you go your way, I'd prefer to go my own way. I can barely tolerate my wife in the room when I'm trying to sleep. Sleep is important, this would be a tough bridge to cross for me.

    I guess this is correct, but, I did this on a college team (basketball) and we made it work as we selected our roomies mutually.  We I in the debate, I would not make a big issue over this item.

  3. This morning, I read a 2020 redraft for the first round by the Athletic.  Gabe Davis was in that article as a late #1 pick.  If that is how the league values him now, the Bills fans need to come to grips with that situation.  He may yet be great next season.  time will tell.  what will the Bills do?  with the millstone of the V Miller contract around their necks, lots of disappointment ahead for Bills fans.  V Miller, as it is turning out, is a big miss for $75 mil or so over three years since Miller missed half of 22 and will be mostly late arrival in 23. (see Tre White)  And, at 35, will V Miller be anything llike his old self in 24?  Perhaps not.

  4. I knew she was not coming back to the business when Pegula Sports hired the high level guy from Fidelity.  He is going to partially fill her role.  Now, there is that business about primary owner in the NFL, and that needs to  be handled properly.  Pegs may have already removed her from that status and we don't know.  With this length of time, I also figured it wasn't cancer but a stroke like event.  Sad, but  pulling for her to recover further and have a good life.

    They need to pay Burrow and Chase. Higgins will get WR1 money somewhere. The smart move by the Bengals is probably to trade him for a first plus more picks and replace him in the draft. A team could stay ahead of the game like that. He was a second round pick. 

    This is an old Belicheck trick.  Trade good players before you have to pay them on the second contract.  (chandler Jones comes to mind)

    It's unbelievable.

     

    How much did Zay Jones get from the Jaguars?

    Doesn't matter.  As we know, Zay is a time  bomb waiting to go off.  Not somebody you want on your team.

    A few other options I didn't include in the poll, but might be considered:

     

    - Tony Pollard ($9M)

    - Miles Sanders ($7.2M)

    - Mark Ingram ($2.5M) 

    - D'Ernest Johnson ($2.5M)

    - Darrel Williams ($1.5M)

    - Jeff Wilson ($3M)

    - Dontrell Hilliard ($2M)

    - Kenyan Drake ($2M)

    - James Robinson (RFA $3.8M)

     

    I always liked Kenyan Drake

    I feel like it is smart move on Jax if you can just stay another week in a row. It is still a neutral site game which helps them and they know the place way better then Buffalo. Hopefully for the Bills if they play the Jags it is a better ending then last time 💀

    At least Bills are not starting EJ Manuel

  8. Cook is a part time player at least.  He is a zero yards after the first hit, but his speed gets him a lot of good yards sometimes.  Not the back for the goal line or any short yardage.  singletary can get a  couple of yards after first contact, so he is a must resign imho.  As for this lb, well, he will be  gone soon enough, once his contract runs out.

    Yes, the draft plans seems a litle sketchy and out of sync.  Now, I understand that picking 27th or whatever you don't get the big hit first rounders, but rouseau and Elam can play in the league.  Maybe not all pros right now, but capable starters after their first year.  No excuse after that as drafting for need is legit.  And, if Taiwan Jones is on the roster again next year I am going to scream/

    Many of us discounted the impact of the ankle injury that Davis sustained in the middle of the season.  He clearly wasn't running well and was not getting separation on his routes.  He played through the injury because even an injured Gabe Davis was better than the next available alternative.  For the last 4 games, he has looked much better and is once again earning targets in the passing game.  I expect that he will continue to make contributions the rest of the season.

    He did have an almost bye week when we were supposed to be playing Cincinatti.  So some recovery is plausible.

    the issue was he was behind  receivers on the depth chart.  He was plucked from the PS by a former asst GM and OC.

     

    Buffalo has a few draft picks either off if waiver or taking from the PS.

     

    this will happen again.

    My memory is that the  Bills cut him from the 53, perhaps hoping to put him back on the PS.  But, the Giants swooped in at that point and signed him.  The Bills got to cute playing the practice squad resigning game and lost Hodgkins.  Anyhow, comment about is correct.  He wouldn't be seeing the field, all the old slow guys got those opportunities

    Elam excels in man, but it’s a mostly zone system which is why i suspect you’ll Dane Jackson get the majority of snaps vs Cinncy.

     

     Though if 27 is back to his old explosiveness (he might be) then it’s not the worst idea to go full man +
    blitz with Tre, Elam and Taron Johnson out of the slot. 

    Tre looked awkward on the sideline when he had to turn to the right.  Had a near fight w the official after that play.  It had to be injury related.  If Cinci picks up on that, watch out.  Play the routes so Tre has to go that way and it won't be pretty.

    Interesting ...because these Steelers guys think that Milano got paid " a ton of money" ... $10M a year...!

     

    Milano in my opinion has left some money on the table with his deal with is "team friendly"..... probably at least $10M over the four years and likely more... 

     

    At least he will be able to console himself that he did the " mafia" proud.... and in 4 years time when he retires , we will lift up our drinks and salute him for saving us some cap ... whilst we look ahead to the next draft...

     

     

    Milano will not retire.  Bills will have to keck him  to the curb first.
