LABILLBACKER

Cool, a 3rd NFL BIlls rule that will be changed. We will be the founding fathers of all new "Bills got screwed" rules this decade. The OT rule The new technology ball spot rule The full disclosure PED rule

Pretty much everybody other than Josh is rotational. Are you OK with paying 2 new FA"'s nearly $8M each for playing only 65% of the regular season? I would rather put that combined $16M toward a pass rusher who's not getting pegged for enhancements. If they were not expected to start, them why would BB use so much cap on them? And on top of this the NFL should ethically have some obligation to disclose PED offenders BEFORE FA starts.

I love how fans are activating their emergency "justification / rationalization mode". No big deal Everybody does it Happens all the time Just 6 games Keep em fresh for the playoffs It's not my money

Cool, you're one of these "if you're not cheating, you're not trying guys". Yeah, we didn't really need them those first 6 games, got it....

....walking away you could hear Josh under his breath say "now if my coach & GM could just get it right".... After more embarrassing events like today, I wouldn't blame him one bit.

They talk up all this character bs and then this happens. What an embarrassing situation for this front office. Somewhere Josh is just rolling his eyes.

Way to do your homework Brandon. Good Lord what a disaster. Who's next Palmer...Bosa. Idiot

Gabe can't even help us when he's not on the roster. AJE....double digit sacks...🤣🤣🤣

Apparently decent his first year in Pittsburgh but absolutely terrible in Houston. Odd signing by BB?

I agree, in order to get anything out of him you must gradually ease him into the season. With load management, pitch counts and emphasis on 3rd down. Then hopefully he's near 100% approaching the playoffs.

Can anyone describe Bosa without using the term "when healthy". We did not improve our pass rushing production very much. Maybe a sack or two? I knew our odds of getting a Garrett, Crosby, Hendrickson were slim to none. Thought maybe Beane could've gone after Sweat or Koonce more aggressively? Who knows what we have in Bosa & Hoecht?? So that leaves the 6-8 brothers AJ & Greg. Neither show up in the playoffs and neither is likely to ever touch 10 sacks. We need to draft a diamond pass rusher next month. I'm already looking at 2026 FA pass rushers.

I know when McDuffie came off the board, BB probably panicked a little. Too bad his few scouts didn't steer him toward Karlaftis as insurance for AJE. Elam will join a long list of 1st round busts. A 5th is better than nothing. Maybe we use that pick to find a hungry CB like Benford.

Or Bosa has 5 sacks and it becomes a dribbler back to the mound for Beane. You know a fa acquisition is bad when you hear dozens of comments like "when healthy" or "it's only a 1 yr deal".

Josh Palmer, you had 1 td last year, you get 12M. Joey Bosa, you had only 5 sacks last year, you get 12M. Jimbo, we appreciate your 18 tds but you'll have to wait.

Bubble wrap and egg shells...not expecting much.

Only a fool wouldn't at least try to get him back. He has 19 sacks in his last 2 seasons. And besides everybody is gone anyway.

Lorax....12.5 in 2016 Floyd.....10.5 in 2023

There's no Leonard Floyd's left in FA. Mack, Koonce, Sweat are all gone. Who knows what we have in Hoecht? It's basically status quo again in 2025. Run in back with AJ & Groot....yay

We're not getting Hendrickson, nor can we afford him now that we've over payed for AJE & Groot. We will enter year 8 in the Josh Allen era without an elite game wrecking pass rusher. Maybe we stumble on one in this upcoming draft, but with Beanes track record I'm not holding my breath.

Well hopefully this swiss army knife element of Hoecht's game translates to more stunts and line movement. I've never been a fan of the incessant DL rotations. So maybe we'll see him line up as a 3T, DE or OLB? Hopefully we get the 2023 version? Unfortunately it looks like we're not getting a splash pass rusher in FA?

That's what I took from the interview. He is a mature young man but I'm a little concerned the pop he took from Poy may have impacted his return and play the 2nd half. I expect 6 tds / 700yds / 60% catch rate this season. I think if he's goal oriented, these should be his numbers.

There is, but nobody wants to discuss it or admit it exists. Too many lifer McD supporters here.

So enlighten me on exactly how long he will play and how much we will actually pay him off the cap?

If he becomes a Chief killer than I'm fine. 36M is alot of money to pay a guy who had 1 td last year. But he is young (25) and is projectable to develop into a better version of Hollins (who turns 32 in Sept).

I keep being told by many about this incredible ability of Palmer to separate. But it doesn't add up. If he was truly able to separate, he would've had alot more than 1 td last year. Doesn't make sense? This better not turn into another Hines, Harty situation. Where Joe doesn't know how to use him.
