  1. I understand they want to capitalize on their fame.  That is completely up to them.

    But in Denver we watched John Elway start selling everything from jock straps to toothpaste when he retired and his credibility took a hit.  Elway in Denver vs Kelly in Buffalo are revered differently.

    😆I wish. I think the best we could honestly hope for would be a second round swap with either the Raiders or Dallas and then one their 4th rounders, maaaaybe their 3rd.

    Cook is a gamebreaker and impact player.  He  tied for the league lead in rushing TDs last year.  He is also motivated in a contract year. 

    He could be key to winning a championship so IMO, we shouldn't move him just to get something for him.

  3. Can't be sentimental if we want to get over the hump.  He was in a reduced role this year and we didn't see much.  Also, who do you take off the field to put him in for third downs?   

     

    If he takes a pay cut and plays a reduced role, he needs to be a special teamer as well.   He was worth the flyer but it is time to move on IMO

    The rush against Arizona late in the game still stands out to me.  
     

    It was a good “get right” season for him derailed by the suspension.  
     

    Keep him at 30 percent of the snaps; free up cap space.  I think his presence is important.  

    You have to play special teams in that small a role.  Also, are you taking someone else off the field on third down for Von?

    Ed Wang was one of the worst draft picks I’ve ever seen this team make.

     

    Nate Peterman for sure.

     

    Another Buddy Nix era player Duke Williams was terrible.

     

    Torell Troupe. 

    Nailed it!    Peterman then Troupe close behind for me

    Corta here and it has been a bit since I have chimed in schedule wise but this most recent news has my attention even more attune to the NFL globally.

     

    The NFL today announced that the Rams will be going to Australia in 2026 as the designated home team. For those at home wondering LA to Australia is a 15 hour flight alone. This is the continuation of the NFL driving a larger international effort for teams over the last few years. In 2025 the following countries will be hosting games with these home teams:

     

    4x England: Jags 2x, Jets, Browns 

    Germany: Colts

    Madrid: Miami

    Rumored: Brazil with Chargers hosting


    In total the NFL could have 7 games abroad in 2025 which potentially could pit up to 15 teams abroad which is nearly half the league. The NFL has not been shy recently about wanting more games abroad and having the entire league abroad with relative regularity. When the 17th game was added many looked at it as a way for the NFL to add more international games because a team with 9 home games who loses one abroad still has 8 games which means the owners get a regular season with of revenue there. Much like the Bills in 2023 when they had 9 home games but the Jags in England was technically home. If the NFL were to go to 18 games the talk has been that every team would be going abroad once as the additional games allow it to be easier for teams (OWNERS) to not lose revenue while the league maxes it presence.

     

    With the potential for 15 teams abroad in 2025 if you are not a fan of the Bills going abroad even as the away team I would start prepping yourself. The days are numbered before the Bills are gone once a year to some other country. My only hope is maybe it isn't to England given our luck there.

    13 from LA in my experience.  Worth it

  7. Didn't we lose by three points and due to an awful ball spotting error?   Are we really that far behind when you only lose by three points?  

     

    This analysis is also just looking at the Chiefs highlight moves.   What about their bad ones?   What about the Bill's good ones.  

     

    The Chiefs roster is littered with guys who treat women like crap and have despicable character.   I don't want us to do it their way.

    Choke is a strong word.....but he certainly didnt play up to the level needed to win the game. 

     

    Although thats tough against the Chiefs and the refs.

    We only lost by 3 points.   Mahomes stats are almost the same except for a few runs.   He played well enough to win, just not well enough to overcome one egregious error by the referees on a game changing call.

    Even though the Tush Push worked all season long, I thought to myself during the regular season "Maybe the Bills should run it to the right once in a while just to keep Defenses honest.", but since it always worked, I didn't give that concept much thought after a while.

     

    When it was blatantly obvious the Chiefs were ready for the push to the left, it should've been obvious to have a call to change it up and run it to the right. Its not like running it towards Torrence and Brown would be a bad idea anyway. This is something the Bills coaching staff should've been prepared for weeks ago, but they continued to run the same play over and over again despite the fact it was not working like it usually does.

     

    The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again, while expecting a different result......that was some insane play calling right there.

    I like the point but I am wondering if the Eagles did this?

  10. This was the safest and best call?  Did you not see Josh about to chest pass the ball back to Cook when he was stopped at the line? 

     

    If he tosses the ball to Cook it could have been the play that sunk the season and would have been talked about FOREVER.  

     

    It was obvious Josh did not believe in the call and was going to try to do something spectacular to overcome it.

    We should've challenged the spot. The ball was on the 1 when Josh's knee first touches on the slide. It was one of many inaccurate spots by these guessing refs.

    ...and if you are calling a timeout anyway, challenge the spot and it serves at the timeout
