Led the league in points by a lot, lost in the semi-finals by .64 and then outscored both finals teams by 50. I finished right around .500 in my other 3 leagues (combination of injuries and bad drafting). I hate fantasy football!!

The year they started EJ in week 17

He was a great player and a terrible person. It will be pretty poetic if he and AB end together. Great players, bad people

How can anyone say anything other than a resounding yes?!? Aaron Donald may be the best player in football. That’s not hyperbole either like “he’s top 20ish.” He might be 1. You put him next to Oliver and the Bills have one of the greatest defenses of all-time.

Not playing and falling off a cliff are 2 different things. If he retires obviously he won’t be here. If he plays he will do what he always does, produces. He’s a consummate professional that will be ending his career in a ring chase. You don’t think that he will be ready to go in that scenario? He’s going to finish the year with 75 catches and 820 yards (or something like that). If he give you 3/4 of that (which he absolutely will) we are talking about 56 catches for 615 yards. For comparison sake McKenzie and Foster have combined for 28 catches and 311 yards. That’s the spot that we are talking about for Fitz.

We disagree here he is the PERFECT fit for what we need. Brown, Fitzgerald, Beasley and a young stud. That’s a really good group with skills that offset one another. Fitzgerald is nothing like Vontae when we signed him. Davis was basically out of the league. Fitz has had pretty much the same year as Beasley. He will be effective for a year or 2 in that role. If he fell off a cliff (which won’t happen) you play the young guy and have his veteran presence in the room.

The very next line I discuss drafting Higgins, Smith or Golden-Gandy....

Fitzgerald has 71 catches for 759 yards and 4 TDs. He’s the guy that can get you 8 on 3rd and 6 all day long. He is not anything like those guys at the end of his career.

That’s another that I can go either way with. He’s inconsistent but has had his moments. If a clear opportunity to upgrade is available go for it but you could do worse. That’s kind of how I feel on the corner too if they bring back Kevin Johnson. Kevin Johnson and Levi Wallace are certainly serviceable.

I’m 100% with you on the needs Joe. I think that I would address them like this: - Sign Larry Fitzgerald to play the “x.” He fits perfectly for what we need and may come for a year or 2 to chase a ring (can’t believe I’m saying that). He still can play. - I’d draft a WR in the 2nd. You will get a guy in the 2nd that would have went in the 1st in every other draft because of the depth of the class. You may get a DoVonta Smith, or Tee Higgins or Antonio Golden-Gandy there. The receiver class is so loaded. - I’d draft Yetur Gross-Matos or A.J. Expensa in the 1st to be the pass rusher. - I’d re-sign Shaq and cut Murphy. Shaq would start and Gross-Matos or Epenesa would rotate in to rush the passer. - Sign Jack Conklin to play RT. You are probably looking at like 4 years $48M with $30M guaranteed. - I’d add a back like Carlos Hyde in FA. He’s having his best year but he’s a guy that you know can get you some yards still. He feels like a decent backup to Motor and can get 8-10 carries a game. - I’d draft a back as well. I’d want a guy that is an ideal “3rd down back” to complete the group. Someone like JJ Taylor out of Arizona would be interesting to me. Other than the needs addressed above I think you are looking for a replacement for Lorenzo, potentially a number 2 CB and maybe a kicker.

My brother and I have been discussing this. I think KC is the worst matchup for the Bills and the Titans can knock them out too. Pittsburgh has NO chance in the playoffs. They are a bye for whomever they play.

...and if he is ruled short New England doesn’t get points on that drive. You can’t use results from later in the game to justify the move at the time. The situation dictates your decision. Also, that runoff rule needs to change. Would they have gotten another play off? Probably not, but if the refs rule it a TD and then change their mind the Bills shouldn’t be penalized. It is much, much worse if it’s at like the 2 because a team COULD conceivably get another snap off. It happened earlier this year but don’t remember the game. I don’t know the answer but it’s something other than what it is now.

I think it’s an interesting topic. A lot of guys have started that way and loosened as time went on. I think that will happen more as McDermott grows more comfortable with Josh and himself. We need to be more aggressive with the challenge flag in addition to the play calling. Sometimes it may be close but the situation massive. That is of equal importance when it comes to using it. As an example he ABSOLUTELY should have challenged that 4th down run. They may not have overturned it (although I believe he was short) but the play was too important to look the other way. He should have been all over the refs about no call on the Brady intentional grounding. You do that stuff so the next close one goes your way. It’s all a part of game management.

It’s unbelievable. This was supposed to be different. This is the time where you let it all hang out. They’ve tried to allow 7 yards at a time and tried to gain 3 at a time. You don’t beat the Pats like that. Hit Brady and make him move off his spot. Step up and run Josh. Throw the ball down the field. Do something other than rolling over and allowing them to sink and dunk to death.

Just terrified!! How could they come out so scared?!? This was supposed to be different. Attack them!!!!

????

Playing not to lose!! You can’t do that against this team. Attack!!!

He can’t play in this game. With all of the misdirection and screens they just pick on him.

Harrison getting love over TO drives me nuts. He went in the HOF before him. They played in the same era so it’s easy to compare them. TO was the far superior player. TO is also the way better person. So before someone goes onto the rant about “TO the teammate” never forget “Marvin Harrison the shooter.”

I actually think that the Bills win this week but New England beats Miami.

I find Dawkins entertaining but no one gets a show before Tre.

Yeah but the money was never an issue. McCoy is going to be over 500 yards this year with a 4.6 YPC. Ivory is out of the league. I would have been fine with a variety of options but Ivory isn’t a 2 at this point.

I’m going to go with neither. Gore would have been fine as a 3rd back because of his character. He should have never been counted on to run the ball. We should have probably kept Shady as the other back or signed Latavius Murray. They had to have a guy with some tread left on the tires.

If we win Saturday everybody plays. If we lose Saturday everybody sits. Pretty Simple
