100% agree. They better hope Jones is the guy. If not, they’ll be looking for a QB with no ammo.

Lots of activity today and some major moves. Of the Bills competition the Colts got better but gave up a ton for Sauce. Other than that, it feels like the NFC teams really improved more. I’m on record as thinking that the Bills had to add a boundary WR. The Shaheed comp felt doable but probably had to pay a higher price than Seattle based on where the picks will be. Otherwise, it doesn’t seem like a deal was there to be had. I know that the Bills were active and that’s what I ask of them. Don’t be too arrogant to think that you’re good enough in a spot where you clearly suck. They made the calls and tried to make deals. It takes 2 to tango and you have to be smart. I’m not going to hold this deadline against Beane. Now, it may blow up in his face if they fall short of the Super Bowl but he did try.

@Paup 1995MVP in the hypothetical world where Garrett Wilson is available, what’s your best offer?

Deebo is built like me in my mid 40’s 🤣🤣

They were always the 2 best names discussed. It could be a Ridley and Sweat/Simmons combination too

He has some health concerns (as do all of the guys we are discussing). The reality is, he instantly is the best WR with the possible exception of Shakir. Is he Justin Jefferso? No. Is he Keon Coleman? Also no.

It certainly could be a part of it. Adding Meyers certainly makes trading BTJ more likely.

Hancock is much more likely to be a part of the core moving forward than Strong. It may be at slot or it may be at S.

I once heard a GM (Dell Demps) say that only like 5-10% of the things discussed ever leak out (or some low number like that). Lol, I don’t remember the specifics but the point was there are always “feelers.” When you get to trade deadlines or drafts, they become more real because there is a natural “expiration date.” The Bills are definitely engaged in discussions and BTJ isn’t the only one. Will any of it come to fruition? Who knows, but they’re on the phone.

Bills

I don’t know the details or if it will even get done. It’s certainly possible or they wouldn’t be in discussion. That means they’re at least in the ballpark at this point. Maybe the Bills part with a first or it’s some sort of swap? Totally spitballing here and have no knowledge of the compensation discussion but maybe something like: BTJ and a 3rd or 4th for Coleman and a 1st? The Jags have a late 3rd (or it least it looks like it on the chart). If the Bills offered their 1st and Keon for BTJ and that late 3rd, the value of the difference would be 500 points. That’s the equivalent of the 40th pick. It would basically be pick 40 and Keon for BTJ. If the Jags drew the line at a 4th, that becomes the equivalent of the 34th pick. Again, I made that return up but these are the kinds of things that they’re probably working on. https://www.drafttek.com/NFL-Trade-Value-Chart.asp

Yes

Don’t know if anything will come of it but there’s some BTJ chatter.

I am no McDermott fan but the FG was 100% the right decision. When you get a chance to end the game, you take it.

There is a world, albeit unlikely, where he has the most rushing TDs ever. It would require him to play another 10ish years and keep going att the current rate. He’s 92 away. Let’s say he gets 5 more this year (feels reasonable). That would have him at 77 and he’d need 87 more. 10 years at 8.7 per year and he’s the all-time leader.

Up: Allen Utah Guys Bosa Down: Defensive Time Outs WRs Hoecht Injury

Been monitoring that for a while. 52 will have him 3rd all-time (although Henry might get there). He would be ahead of/ Allen, Peterson, Brown, Faulk, Dickerson, Riggins, Sanders,and Payton (plus many others).

It’s weird. The Bills built a defense to be smaller and get after the passer. If you do that, you can’t be slow too. 🤣🤣 Between Tre, Taron, Poyer and Rapp they just looked so slow. These few moves, more Hairston, Hancock on passing downs, and Cam playing some, have made them faster.

He was in centerfield for most of the passing downs. He played 43% of the defensive snaps. He didn’t have any big plays like the TD saving tackle last week, but the speed is noticeable. The Bills look so much faster with he and Hairston in the secondary.

Feeling quite good about this one. I don’t want to get carried away as we’ve seen this in the regular season against the Chiefs before. It’s just nice to see the Bills looking like the Bills since the bye. The Bills have gotten faster and more athletic with the development of Bishop & Kincaid & the insertion of Hancock & Hairston. Speed kills and until recently the Bills have lacked it on both sides of the ball. Now the defense has the speed to keep up. The Bills once again look like contenders. The bye came at the perfect time.

I said, “he still sucks.” I said nothing about “today.” No negative emotions from me. I’m thrilled. McDermott calling the defense has them in a much better place. They have looked prepared the last 2 weeks. He uses terrible defensive timeouts and they struggle on 3rd & 4th down. He’s been horrendous vs. KC in the playoffs. All of that is true.

Agree that it was our best defensive performance. He called a great game. I think he sucks as a HC and I have thought that for a while. I hope he proves me wrong but to date, the KC playoffs are too much for me. The Bills were prepared today and have played a great few weeks. I’m well past accepting a division title and a playoff win or 2. He hasn’t been good, at all, vs. KC when it matters. That’s the standard that I hold him to. Getting beat is one thing, being at your worst is another.

My brother was a college QB and HS coach. He sees things that I don’t. Either way, 4 defensive TOs followed by 3 1st downs isn’t the flex you think it is. That’s especially true because one was 4th and 17. Again, amazing win but that specific part isn’t a good look. They’ve been bad on 3rd and 4th down.
