It's good practice for Josh until they fire the coach and front office in entirety. He will have to be perfect and not turn the ball over. We know they will be wet ***** in the playoffs on defense so may as well start simulating that early

I think we all focus on cap figures because we care about team composition, but a lot of that money is already paid out up front to these players. The players are interested in receiving as much cash earnings going forward as possible, whether by a new increase in bonus/upfront cash to be amortized down the road, or just remaining on the team to collect base salary amounts. Their ability to receive new guaranteed money from other teams influences their leverage. When play has declined, they become more amicable to altering the terms Their dead cap number doesn't mean all that much to them is my understanding. That's all old news (old money) to them

At least that monetary investment means the defense doesn't get stomped every single time they play a good QB in the playoffs to the point where it feels like the game is lost if the Bills have to punt a few times in a half. Oh wait

A head coach known for losing superbowls leading a team known for losing superbowls. Imagine what could be accomplished

Can't wait until he gets fired after a failed punt or something lol

I think having eyes would be the main justification

It's like the Brady years. Just take the cash on the Chiefs and look the other direction.

Wonder what the line will be. Brady and Mahomes have been my most successful QBs on profit and I hate both of them

He's about as mobile as Tom Brady with an anchor

Disagree, I feel theyve had consistently great options and they can't execute

He's just not good at it in general IMO

Allen gets roasted alive playing nearly perfect games. It's the most frustrating aspect of this team underachieving.

The amount of people putting Lamar Jackson in front of Burrow is mind blowing.

Exactly. As long as the game is in the regular season you are feeling good.

Certainly not on defense. Two different universes there

Would have been competitive a decade or so ago. I'm not sure it's possible to just ride a defense to a Superbowl any more unless there is a large regression in the passing game. Even undead 70 year old Tom Brady offered more than Lamar is here

What we do against the Bengals can't even be called a defense.

The Ravens can't possess the ball against a good defense like the Chiefs have. Lamar's track record is pretty much the QB edition of the McDermott show in the playoffs. The Bills offense dominated time of possession and the defense couldn't even slow down the next Chiefs touchdown to the point where it would take more than 3 minutes. How many times did they even get to 3rd down? It's not comparable

I have no confidence in the McDermott playoff defense against a good coach & QB even if everybody was healthy. I sympathize this year with the depletion and in isolation I think it would be perfectly acceptable to have a bad defensive performance, but they've been gutted with little resistance every time they've played Mahomes/Burrow in January for nearly half a decade now

Not For Long League is always difficult. Have to enjoy the elite positional groups while it lasts. I still miss that line with Mario Williams, Kyle Williams, rookie contract Dareus and Jerry Hughes. Going to be really difficult when it's time for Josh to cross the bridge.

May have gotten hurt, in part, because he's 100 years old

I would like to see a first down pass at some point to avoid predictablity

This one is tough because it's hard to imagine any coach doing much with whats left in this matchup. Generally inclined to agree

Just need one tip interception or strip sack or a forced fumble. Allen hasn't blinked

To a team that hasn't punted. That sort of game with these QBs on this stage. This will never be comfortable
