Agree that the line is more important, but every team in the league is fighting over too few quality offensive linemen. Singletary has proven he can be productive with a revolving offensive line. I hope you're right that they'll find a replacement, but I like the consistency Singletary has shown and I think any replacement in FA will cost just as much and carries a lot more unknown.
-
Again, I don't disagree with that. He'll break some nice runs a couple times a game and, more importantly, he'll be a mismatch in the short passing game. But he won't carry the ball 150+ times a year for 4.5 yards per carry like Singletary does.
-
I agree with that. I was disagreeing with all the posters who were saying that the Hines trade means that Singletary will be gone next year and Cook/Hines will be our RB tandem.
-
Don't get me wrong, I like both of their skill sets. But neither of them are going to grind out yards between the tackles-- something which Singletary has become very good at.
-
Hines is not a replacement for either of them. He's a replacement for the guy we just drafted. Edit: I should clarify that if the Bills think Hines gives them a better shot at a Super Bowl than Cook, I'm fine with the trade. It's just clearly not a move for a future RB1.

A lot of people here are grading this trade on the pieces moved, which would definitely be in our favor (Moss and a 6th for Hines is a no-brainer). However, Hines' contract means we'll be paying him $9 million over the next two years to be a 3rd down back while an unproven rookie will be our RB1. And that's assuming he doesn't get a new contract bump. Singletary has turned into a reliable and productive bell cow and I wouldn't have minded paying him $6 million a year especially if the Bills are willing to pay 75% of that to someone with 25% of his production. Also, I think people are delusional if they think that Cook was ever meant to be an RB1. He's just not built physically for that role. So now we're paying for a 3rd down back when we already drafted one and we'll still have to pay Singletary, or find a worse option for cheaper in FA, or draft another RB. Still gonna root for him to do well obviously, but this move is near the bottom of our trade needs.

They let opponents get in their head too easily. It's burned us a few times. Gabe could have had a nice game but dropped a few passes and got a personal foul. I'm sure Allen is forcing throws because of it as well. -

I have foreign NFL Game Pass with a VPN but Peacock was just easier than hooking up my computer tonight. -

Pretty sure they changed that a couple years ago. Which is why you see it much more frequently now. -

You had me excited there. I'm watching on Peacock so I'm a little behind and I thought you meant a TD. -

I probably would have taken 3rd & 4 there instead of accepting the penalty for 2nd & 10. Welp, Milano just solved that problem! -
