    I guess we'll see.  They played us pretty damn hard in Buffalo in January with their Z string QB.  Things change fast in the NFL, and we shouldn't assume that because we have Josh Allen that we're just going to roll over everyone, particularly if the playcalling remains as anemic as it was the 2nd half of last season

     

     Whether they played us hard or not has no bearing on the question have they significantly improved thus far in FA vs just got better.

    Perhaps you should restate your position on the Dolphins offseason so far.  I'll make it easy on you, does adding Fangio & Ramsey make Miami (A) better, or (B) worse?

     

     

     

     Miami improving significantly and Miami being better are 2 totally different takes. You stepped it down to try and get him to agree with you lol. Miami is NOT significantly better than they were. Sorry, but that's a horrible take. Better, yes, significantly better, hell no.

    He punted 45 times last year. He makes $2.5 mil per season on his new deal. That's $55,555 per punt which is higher than the average household income per year for a family of 4 in Buffalo. 

     

     He made $1.272 million last year, which is what the 45 punts would be based off of. How can you base last year's punt numbers off this year's salary?

    Yes, I Agree that the Bears got fleeced all things considered 

     

     And that's counting each as the 1st pick in each round. If Carolina finishes middle of the pack the next 2 years it's equivalent to the 13th-14th overall pick.

    I wish I understood this more, but I do not.  

     

    The Panthers will be bottom dwellers for the next 2-3 years.  The cupboard

    seems pretty bare.

     

     Every year removed the pick is valued 1 round less. So the 2nd in 2025 is valued as a 4th in this year's draft.

    2 1sts (at least 1 inside the top 10 still)

    2 2nds

    & DJ Moore (25 years old) who would fetch a first rounder as well.  

     

    Great deal for the Bears!

     

     The 1st next year is valued as a 2nd this year and the 2nd in 2025 is valued as a 4th. If those two picks were the 1st pick in each round that's 696 points, let's round it to 700 for ease. Difference between 1st overall pick and the 9th is 1,650. That means DJ Moore is valued as the 17th overall pick in the draft(950 points).

    And the Bills lost to each of those teams last season and barely beat the Dolphins in the playoffs with a 3rd string QB. The difference between the rosters is not much and Rodgers closes the gap. 

    Now that of course does not mean the Bills can't get better. A better oline and a better WR group and the Bills will be an even better team next season. 

     

     Yup, with what 4 of our 5 best defenders not playing or playing far less than 100% and our QB with a bad elbow injury and probably shouldn't even have been playing for a stretch. The Hamlin injury.  Yes that's all going to repeat itself this year also. Still won our division by more games than any other team did. Combined the Dolphins and the Jets lost 13 other last 14 games with the only win being a 11-6 fg fest in which the Dolphins were playing the Jets, so someone had to win that one.

    What was the difference in the number of wins the Bills had between Allen's first and third year. QB play is almost all that matters in NFL. If the Jets get better QB play it could mean a 6 or 7 game improvement. Remember this team beat the Bills once last year already and it took a nearly dead Mike White to lose in Buffalo. 

    Rodgers to Jets would be awful for Bills

     

     That's bull and you know it. Year 1 of Allen, team is in cap hell with 33% of our cap gone to dead cap hits vs the spending to acquire the talent on our 2020 squad. Far different circumstances.

     

     4 or 5 game max. I don't see them winning more than 11 or 12 games this year and that's only IF they do acquire Mr. Rodgers.

    I see your point (especially about close games) but I'm talking about those teams being built to beat buffalo. The division is tough and most likely will be even more tough next year. If tua was playing, Miami's record would have been better. If jets had a better Qb theirs would be too. I get it..I am talking what ifs but the fact is and we all have eyes to see that our division is getting better, tougher , closing in ( however we want to say it). Go Bills!

     

     I see it as we won our division by a bigger margin than any other team while losing Hyde after game 2, Poyer wasn't the same after the hit he took in week 4, Tre missing a ton of games and never getting anywhere close to 100%,  Von tearing his acl and Allen's elbow injury. We payed our dues to the injury Gods. I don't see that happening again this year either.

    Not an act at all. I'm talking about the individual games played within the division and not season record. Buffalo barely won those games. I'm sure glad they did. They were great division wins. Of the 4 regular season games played Buffalos point differential is +6 and that's against average to below average Qb play. Not trying to argue with anyone. Just stating the facts. I know last year does not dictate next year, but I also am not going to pretend like the division is not closing in fast. 

     

     But it didn't translate into their overall record, which is the most important thing. The division isn't closing fast, I just provided proof of it. We won our division by more games than any team in football this year. Close games don't count in the standings, only wins and losses. With overall record having the highest importance.

     

     They were 4.5 games ahead of the Dolphins and 6.5 games ahead of the Jets at the end of the year. Provided we only played 16 games and they're as good as you're saying, I would say that's down right impressive what they did. I don't see either team making up that much ground in a year.

    QB trumps everything in the NFL.

     

    This would be the best roster Rodgers has had maybe ever from a talent perspective.

     

    Sky is falling for the Bills.

     

    Said it after 2021 season, saying it now, and will say it this time next year when we don’t win another Super Bowl.  
     

    We have a bad HC that’s wasting a generational talent in Josh Allen. He refuses to build around him and it’s showing.

     

    Until McDermott is gone and we can get a bright offensive minded coach in here, we aren’t winning a Super Bowl. Put the crack pipe down…hope I’m wrong.

     

     If anyone is acting like they're smoking crack it's you. Rodgers will be 40 before the year is out and hasn't taken the absurd steps Brady did to extend his career into his 40s. He won't be around in another 1 or 2 and even if he does come to NY he's not winning a title there.

     

     They will have to give up a boatload of resources for him. I think this will make the Jets weaker, sooner than if they don't make the deal. Much like Von's signing, the deal wouldn't be a success unless they win a title and I don't see that happening. I don't even see them winning the division. 

     

     As you said QB trumps everything, I'll take Allen in his prime over a 40 year old Rodgers anyday. By the way the Jets HC is a former DC also and has accomplished far less than McDermott has as a HC. They also don't have a brilliant offensive mind either, which seems to be one of your requirements. So, once again, by your logic there's nothing to worry about.

    Uh, again, their QB’s were Zach Wilson and Mike White…

     

    We are talking about the possibility of the MVP of the league 2 years ago playing that position for them.

     

    I mean, again, don’t know what else to say if people don’t think they get better with the addition of Aaron Rodgers.

     

     But by your own admission they had the OROY & DROY just this year and didn't accomplish anything over 2021 or even make up ground in the standings. They were playing with the same QBs they were the year before and the team was largely the same, yet acquiring those 2 talents meant next to nothing in the results.

     

     Will they get better with Rodgers, sure, but does that translate into a 7 game swing in the division standings? I highly doubt. But, please feel free to continue your offseason the sky is falling activities.

    The Jets won 7 freakin games with Zach Wilson and Mike White man.

     

    They have BOTH the OROY and DROY on their team.

     

    If you think Aaron Rodgers going there doesn’t make them a legit contender, I don’t know what to tell you.

     

     Yes they had the OROY & DROY this year and what did it get them? They went from finishing 7 games behind us in 2021 to 6.5 games behind us in 2022. That netted them a whole half game in the standings while starting the same QBs in both years.

    The east makes me nervous. buffalo barely swelled out wins agains Miami and the jets both with below average QBs  (tua ehh. I think he's better than we give credit, but Thompson, white and Wilson..not great). Those teams get good Qb play and it'll be tonight. 

     

     Why does it make you nervous? You act as though it was close. Buffalo won the east by a wider margin than any other division winner this past year. They currently have a stranglehold on the division and that only grew stronger in 2022 vs 2021, when they only won the division by a single game. Until proven otherwise Buffalo owns this division.

    nfl.com draft analyisis lists Zay Flowers' NFL comparison as Travis Benjamin. Yikes...

     

     Their comparison for Diggs was Harry Douglas. Douglas only started a 1/3 of the games he played and Diggs had more tds in 2022 than Douglas did in his 9 year career.😂 Funny thing is Benjamin and Douglas have almost identical career numbers except Benjamin had twice as many tds in his career.

    bottom valuation teams can increase the most. The most valuable teams stay the most valuable but not with the sane incremental increase.

     

     We are discussing a valuation of 8 billion in 4 years.  That would place the Bills easily in the top 10 NFL valuations in 4 years—an increase of 135%.  If the top 10 value teams, only 3 have won a SB in the last 10 years.  It includes the Bears, Jets and Giants. 

     

    It’s not going to happen.  

     

     The Cowboys are the most valuable franchise and just added $2.3 billion in value over the last 2 years($1.5 billion in 2022 alone). The Pats added $2 billion over the last 2 years. The Rams $2.2 billion. Imagine if the Cowboys had won a Super Bowl in those 2 years how much more would they be worth? 

     

     Someone will overpay for the Commanders, once that happens there will be another big adjustment and once the money from the TV deals really start to flow.

     

     To say they would be a top 10 value team is asinine, I just showed the top teams are increasing more in value than they are. Their values aren't just going to sit idle, while Buffalo's increases. $8 billion won't get you in the top 10 once their stadium opens.

    which teams have doubled in 5 years?

     

     

     

    The Bills for one have more than doubled from 2018-2022. Their value just rose almost 50% in the last year. 2021 - $2.3 billion, 2022 - $3.4 billion. My guess is once Washington sells there will be a big increase again. Add a Super Bowl beforehand and $8 billion is totally doable.

    I agree with everything but Poyer and the time limit. Poyer had an excellent season despite playing with numerous injuries. Also, why will we only have a good defense for 1 more year? With McDermott at the helm, I think our defense will always be respectable.

     

     Poyer had a great 1st half of the year, but there was a definite drop off in play in the back half.

     

    I agree about McDermott, I think we could be even better if he's calling the plays. I think he has a better feel for the game and would make adjustments quicker, jmo. Offensive HCs do it, so why not?

    Seems kind of petty to not have a nutritionist for each team. It's an extra $70k salary for a $1.4B team.

     

    Overall really good rankings though.

    Actually, was watching Forbes Sports yesterday.........and PSE was ranked as the 21st most valuable sports entity on earth with a valuation of $4.46B.........the majority of that is the Bills.    I know the Sabres are unprofitable but the Bills shouldn't have to share any important service with them to save costs on the hockey team.

     

     

     

     The Bills are now worth $3.4 billion per Forbes.
