Agreed. But my question was, is that possible in this specific case? There is a deadline to negotiate a new deal for franchise tagged players. Once the deadline passes, a new deal can not be worked on until after the season is over. https://www.behindthesteelcurtain.com/2018/7/16/17576470/pittsburgh-steelers-unable-to-agree-an-extension-with-rb-leveon-bell-before-nfl-deadline-of-july-16 If he is traded, can the new team negotiate an extension? Or can he only play under the tag this season, no matter who he plays for?

Yeah I hear you man. It’s tough when everything is going so bad. It definitely makes it easier to deal with the “lows” when you get to see what the “highs” look like... Allen, Edmunds, Milano, White -all young guys who played very good for us today. I think this is what McDermott meant when he said it’s “fertile ground” for thr young guys to develop. But I expect there will be more games where Edmunds and Allen and Milano (etc) struggle (like in the previous weeks) and the loss looks ugly. My hope is that as the season goes on, we will see the young guys start to consistently play better.

Could the Bills even make this trade if they wanted to? Bell can can only play under the tag this year, correct? When is the earliest they could sign him to a new deal? Cause if they can’t, they’d have to find other ways to move money around.

Well, it looks like E. Wood was right- any talk of McDermott losing the locker room was ridiculous.

How can a guy possibly even play the game of football if that is a penalty? Seriously.

Bills twitter having some fun with the win. lol

Man, I love this kid’s personality.

Agreed. He called a great game today. Made things easier for Allen. I also think Russell Bodine deserves some credit for the 1st half. It looked like he was helping to call out protections at the line. As I said in the game day thread, I think that’s one of the reasons why this offense has missed E. Wood so much.

Damn, that sucks. Never want to see that. I hope it’s not as bad as feared.

Yeah, I loved seeing McD give the game ball to Frazier. That is real leadership, as the CBS crew said. Taking all the blame and deflecting all the praise.

@PetermanThrew5Picks i dont know know how to quote your post from the closed game day thread, but I wasn’t talking about you. Just a very small handful of guys (who I won’t call out, not my style). I took it more as a guy who was nervous he just made a real bad bet and was looking for some comfort to ease his worries. But who knows...

Yep for sure. I said that during the game. It definitely makes it easier to deal with the downs, when you get to see the ups like today. It gives you a glimpse of what the future could look like.

Hey BuffaloRush, Are you alive, or did your wife already bury you in the backyard? lol I actually feel bad for thr dude. One of the best Bills wins in a long time and he probably couldn’t enjoy a minute of it. Hopefully this is a lesson learned though. An expensive one...

Josh Allen with his first career win! Love it.

Well... after those first 2 punts anyway.

Special teams with another great play.

It’ll be interesting to see if a select few show up. Haven’t spotted them here yet today. They never seem to post much during and after a Bills win. But hey, what fun is a Bills when sincs they can’t say “Look, see I was right!” about how bad McD/Beane (etc) are.... lol.

[looks at scoreboard] Yep, still 27-6 Bills... lol (j/k)

That’s what I suspected. Every time they showed McD, it didn’t look like he was calling the defense. Like when the defense was on the field and Tre White got that personal foul. McD was flipping out and I didn’t see a play call sheet in his hands.

Oh well.

Unfortunately, I think this will end the shutout. But it as I said before, I’m not greedy. I’ll take the win. We needed this as is as a fan base. People were really starting to,lose it around here. I will be very interested to see if some of the overly negative posters show up this week, though. That’s what angers me about some of those negative posters - they never seem to show up in game threads during a win, or on the board in the days following. But they are in the game thread the minute the Bills are doing bad, and all over the board all week after a bad loss. I het being negative when it’s warranted. But then be positive when it’s warraneted too. Don’t just disappear. It makes me wonder if they are truly fans...

Well... I think BuffaloRush can kiss that $5000 goodbye. I actually feel bad for the guy. I hope he’s at least enjoying the Bills playing so well, if that’s possible while losing $5k...

Excellent punt and special teams play.

Bills gotta make these tackles. That’s twice in a row.

Lets not get greedy. I just want a win!
