I have stated recently that I am warming up to the idea of shelving Josh Allen for the rest of the season. If Derek Anderson is healthy enough he is playing on Sunday. McD has stated as much. I am fine with riding out DA and Matt Barkley to finish the season and secure a top 3-5 pick. I never want to see Peterman under center again though.
Be careful what you wish for..you really think Anderson ,and especially Barkley, would play better than Peterman vs. Jets? I think as soon as we get the word about Allen and Anderson being healthy, Barkley will be gone

Why do you say they wont be able to spend "half of their available cap" in 2019? Based on what? No that hard to spend 90 million; can renegotiate your own players you want to keep...maybe take some dead cap hits by moving on from giyus like McCoy, Clay and Murphy if you want (all making about 9 million). Rather than gambling on risky, high-priced, elite, FA's, can really build some depth with that money. (Allen's dead cap hit is 12 or 13 the next couple years.)

Seeing the vitriol directed at Peterman for throwing picks, I look back and no longer blame Tyrod for being overly conservative. At the end of the day one guy is probably heading out out of the league as one of the biggest laughing stocks in the history of sports, has a GoFundMe set up for his retirement, and is getting food thrown at him. The other one still has a job and his diginty.
Tyrod had Glenn, Incognito and Wood,and , better receivers... still played 'conservative". Benched in Cleveland...he can only take a team so far in this age of wide- open passing game

I hear a lot of the #TeamProcess guys touting how much cap space McD & Beane created & will have available to them to "rebuild" the offense. Apparently that is supposed to serve as evidence that these guys know what they are doing.
Do you McBeaners really think ANY free agent of any offensive worth will willingly come here for the going market rate? Do you have any idea just how much you're going to have to overpay to even get one of those guys to return your call?
There is going to be a MASSIVE tax on Free Agent signings for the Bills during the next offseason. That $90M is going to go pretty quick on the marginal-to-mediocre talent that will inevitably sign here. Not to mention that they are only going to bring in guys that know their Scripture passages as well as they know their playbook, so the talent pool is limited to begin with.
The intelligent & rational among us will soon realize that Free Agency might as well be seen as irrelevant moving forward. McD's ineptitude and arrogance has set this team back 5-8 years, at least.
Speaking of arrogance.....you make a number of un-supported claims and assumptions. and made up the "MASSIVE tax". ...can you quantify that? We will see how free agency turns out. You might be under-estimating the value of the culture the Bills are building,and it might prove more attractive than you think. Beane likely will NOT over-pay and I expect them to mostly avoid higher-priced FA's, instead, focusing on building depth across the roster. Beane lkes to build thru the draft and retain best own free agents when possible
On 11/4/2018 at 5:13 PM, twoandfourteen said:So you don't think that the Bills will have any problem signing quality FAs?
it is subjective,but what is YOUR definition of "quality". 'Value" is more important,and there is a significant difference.
-
it amazes me how people are calling for Beane's and McDermott's heads with the "I told you so" rant . The Pegulas bought into this process,and painful as it is, this is not unexpected. Their plan, they dont consult us. Why are we still talking about Taylor? Bills obviously thought he had limited upside and not worth the 18 million he would have cost them. The Wood and Incognito retirements would have affected Taylor as well, and I doubt he would have accomplished much with this inferior bunch. ; fans would be complaining about him scrambling all the time and not throwing downfield. He's gone, riding the bench, got little or no trade interest, so let's move on.

"Bench Peterman"? He is only int there because of injuries to the other two QBs. I think he goes to the bench as soon as Anderson and/or Allen are health and we might never see Barkley play.Why invest much time in him,he could be gone soon

He wont get $20M with some of his money tied to being active on game days which hasn't happened in a few weeks.
I think 15 million was guranteed,potential of another 5 if active every game

To all the fanboys who thought McCloud,Foster and Proehl would help this team,I say none of the three ever belonged on the 53. PS,fine,that's its purpose. I would love to see Beane pull off a trade for a WR
-
Rumor that Oakland asking for a #1 pick..Beane will not do that,maybe a willing to part with a 3rd? He is under contract for this year , low salary, nearly 14 million next year which Bills can afford.I dont see the Bills trading Lawson; he has had some good moments this year. Why would anyone trade for Benjamin?
-
Marlowe re-signed to the practice sqwuad so his fan-boys can calm down. Kerley hasnt even gotten an interview with a team, has he? That should tell you something
-
I think this is a ridiculous question. Why the hell would you NOT want your team to make the playoffs? Losers and their fantasy that tanking is somehow a GOOD thing.
-
How can you assume he will would be here for 15 years? Allen has somethign to say about that.
-
You didnt mention any specifics, but, generally it can be to cover for an injured player. For example; a cornerback is injured and the team needs depth, but only until that injured player recovers. Since they didtn put that guy on injured reserve, t hey make roster moves to cover; i.e. when Lawson and Murphy were banged up they brought in Nate Orchard. Another scenario might be if they sign a player off another team's practice squad; they activate him temporarily. practice squad changes often, as a bufffer

And he needs to be moved before other teams realize this. I know he's playing hurt, but the signs were there last year. He's clearly lost a step. Ivory and Murphy have been better this season. Ship him out and try to get anything for him while unloading that contract.
Other teams are smarter than you

I'm fairly certain that Rod Streater, Jeremy Kerley, Corey Coleman, and Brandon Reilly would be better than KB, Zay, Holmes and Foster.
Streater hasn't done anything in Cleveland yet... the other 3 are still free agents,for good reason. Think bigger...these guys won't elevate the Bills offense

Apparently Beane disagrees,so i dont expect to see them return. Maybe Kerley

OMG ; has a team ever fired an OC just to sign a player? Certainly not someone of matthews caliber.. how do you know Matthews would even come to this dumpster fire?

5 snaps, no stats. Gee, maybe they will make him available again....

Well, apparently you in 'tank' or 're-build" frame of mind.
These guys are on practice squad for a reason. I dont see value in bring in more, young, unproven,mediocre,marginal players. We already have several players of that caliber on our 53.I would hope Beane will try to bring in some talent that can help NOW. We will have 10 or 11 picks next year and money to spend in free agency. -

“Tre’Davious White is steadily establishing himself as one of the NFL’s better lock-down corners. Phillip Gaines more than held his own on the other side, and Micah Hyde and Jordan Poyer are back to the form that made them one of the league’s better safety combinations in 2017.”
Correct me if I’m wrong, but Phillip Gaines hasn’t played since being injured in first game. Wasn’t it Ryan Lewis that “more than held his own”? So Vic wrote this incorrectly and editor missed it. I don’t think there is one person on this site that would have made this mistake. It’s not really a big deal, just sloppy and lazy.
Do you have the publication date? That would shed some light

Seems to be the BILLS plan, no ? ?
I'm saying at least give his agent a call. Get him in for an interview. See where his heads at. And I think with more reps, JA will be fine. How many drops yesterday, SEVEN! Lack of effort from our alledged #1 receiver makes this at least apho e call.
i dont think the Bills will bring in guys whos 'character" or 'attitude' they dont think will fit their culture. If Bryant is so great, why hasnt any team signed him? Because he overestimates his value? His personality,not to mention declining skills?

You are correct it's not. The owners are well within their legal rights to do what they are doing. That doesn't make it the morally and ethically correct decision, however. When profitability trumps morality the world becomes a darker place for everyone.
Back to football, and its a moot point now that Berry has signed..but, the Bills didnt need a safety, they could use help elsewhere

No trade needed.
He's on their practice squad. If we offer to sign him to the 53 they can make him a similar/better offer or watch him leave.
Excuse me for not keeping up with the immortal Tanner Gentry, but the Bears could activate him. I dont want the Bills adding unproven, marginal, mediocre players. They already have Foster and McCloud. If they make a move, make a REAL move

Pay accordingly and he stays. Jmo.
We don't know what happened behind the scenes....Bills had a lot of cap decisions to make,we don't know what it would have taken to keep him. In their minds they might have had to to "over pay' to keep him.

Quitting is what Davis did. I can understand him feeling that his abilities would be better utilized in a different system.
He quit; whining because he thinks he should get the ball more often;he just signed an extension a few weeks ago...he knows what the sytsem is...apparently he thinks they assume his injury is holding him back. he quit, i think his talent could help the Bills, but i dont think they approve of this
looks like torn achilles for Dez

All of you who wanted Bills to consider him....imagine if this has happened in Buffalo. One more bad move in a horrible season
