    The Eagles also implemented a very aggressive (and sustainable) cap strategy. It’s been copied by the Browns, but their Watson debacle derailed any chance of real success with it. Still, it enabled them to get to the playoffs in 2023 despite the QB issues.

     

    The Eagles aggressively roll almost every cap dollar they can into future years through the use of signing bonuses and void years. This allows a cash spend of 15%-18% more than teams with a more traditionally managed cap. That’s a huge advantage.

    He learned what to do in 2021 when Tampa Bay did the same thing to KC. That's why he immediately drafted Rousseau and Basham and gave away the store for Von Miller. Knowing what to do and doing it are two different things. I know how to dunk a basketball but never have done it nor ever will. 

     

    The Bills look pathetic against KC be a) the line can't get pressure; and b) McDermott likes to play soft. When will that change if it hasn't yet? 

    Sometimes you need to be taught things more than once. Beane tried, failed. Swung and missed with Von? Injury had a lot to do with that. Missed on Basham. Oliver and AJ  I'm not in love with. Groot I'm still undecided. Getting a true pass rushing force will make the rest so much better which we saw before Von's injury. Our LBs are undersized our secondary is also undersized and lacks true talent.

    The Eagles got home six times for a sack and pressured many more times without blitzing once. It's called better DL players. Our front four was stymied by KC's putrid OL. Clearly our defense was a liability that our offense hid and the Eagles showed the league what a real defense looks like from their DL, LB and DBs.  Now Beane knows what he needs to do.

    Maybe we should copy the Seahawks old approach?

    I knew our D, especially the back end, was going to be shite this year. And yes it didn't diasappoint. Offense bails you until you face just as good of offenses and then it is a coin toss. We seem to always lose that flip. I'm done with undersized defense at LB CB S,  "that needs to play fast". Time for some thumpers at LB and S. AJ and Groot and even Oliver are shite too. Oliver undersized and that will never change. He only seems to make a highlight reel when he plays in Detroit or on Thanksgiving.  AJ and Groot, just kick me in the nutz with these two. What do they do switch off on having a few decent games, decent, not even great games. I'm not looking to bash everyone on defense (bernard, benford, douglas) but riddle me this - Did our D win us a game this year? A- no, they held on after letting teams get dangerously close. Never once did they secure a lead for the offense which scored points!!!!

     

    So yes, D needs to change drastically, mimic Seattle or Baltimore (SB year), Eagles (you'll see this weekend) or the Josh Allen era will be know for wasted opportunities. 

     

    Bills forever!

    My dad was murdered 30 years ago when I was 18...the Super Bowl this year will be on his Birthday, February 9th.  

     

    He was a die hard Niners fan, but I am only a Bills fan because Chris Berman picked the Niners and Bills for 20 years straight to make the SB.  And because of that, as a kid I thought they were natural rivals and my dad and I were competitive, so I gravitated to teams that rivaled the Niners.  Then in 1988 my grandfather (his dad) bought a Buffalo for s**ts and giggles at an auction and stuck it in with our cattle on a piece of land where the Mall in Tracy, CA now sits.  And to a young boy it was like seeing a Dinosaur, I didn't even know Buffalo's still existed having never seen one before despite growing up in the country and going to bull fights, cattle auctions, etc as a kid.  

     

    So this combination of Chris Berman, my dad being a Niners fan, and my grandfather buying a Buffalo made me a Bills fan right when they got Kelly, Thurman, Smith, etc and right when I was starting to understand football more and I fell in love with the K-Gun offense and never looked back.  I still have the first SB on VHS tape in my garage from when I recorded it.  

     

    Also, I now have my own 2 sons and completed my family this year with my 2nd being born in October.  So this is the first post season with having completed our family with our 2 boys, so they are here as my good luck charms.  My first born was already put through a table when he was born in the offseason that year...and now I will be doing the same with my 3 month old son before kick off of the Bills vs Was/Phi SB.  

     

    Everything feels different this year...that Ravens game is the kind of game we lose in the past. When we didn't get the TD and only went up 8, my PTSD kicked in and I was like here we go, Lamar is driving for the TD here I know it (and he did). Then when he threw the 2pt conversion, I was like yup, this is how it goes...until suddenly he dropped it.  Then I looked at my wife who was so excited he dropped the pass and said...way too early to celebrate...the most Billsy way to lose would be staring at certain victory and then botch the onside recovery up only 2 and Ravens getting a quick game winning FG instead.  

     

    That onside kick was the most nervous I have been all season...I was like this would be the most heartbreaking...aka so Billsy...way to lose this game.  And then I saw the personnel, and I was like WTF is this, Douglas is our hands guy?  Where is Shakir, Cooper, etc...I didn't see any WR's and Rasul was by himself.  I felt doom creeping in before the kick, then it went right to Douglas and I cringed expecting a last second akward bounce and bobble...

     

    ...But...it never happened.  He clean scooped it and the Bills offense put the game away and at it was like the weight of the past 35 years of Bills fan hood felt gone, like a dark cloud just blew away.  I looked at my wife and said this is different...this is like when Bill Murray wakes up that last time in the movie Groundhogs Day and was like somethings different and different is good!  

     

    About 20 min after the game I was walking through the house and the most incredibly vivid vision popped in my head that felt ultra realistic and it was the confetti coming down, the Lombardi trophy on the stage being handed McD and Josh in their SB champion hats...and I looked at my wife and said "This is it...we are winning it this year."

     

    LFG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Gave me the chills man! Awesome stuff. Thanks for sharing!!!!!
