  1. It's called venting. We're all a little frustrated that our way of life has been impacted (although this mask thing/social distancing has really improved my overall health this winter). I do feel bad for the small business owners and high school seniors most of all. However, it's important to keep it in perspective. My uncle is 92 years old and said he'd trade this year for any year during the Great Depression and WWII. This virus spares the young and medical advancements have made it possible to have vaccines ready at record pace. To quote Jurrassic Park, "It could've been worse John. A lost worse."
  2. Probably this. The drought was rough.
  3. There has to be a good nickname for these two. Anybody? The Bash Brothers. Something like that.
  4. I'd add starting RT, LB, and RG to that list. Now we just need CB2 and feel free to draft BPA.
  5. Any rust belt city is probably going to be less desirable unless you field a consistent winning product. Buffalo, Cleveland, Detroit, and Cincinnati could pry rotate the last 30 years as the least desirable FA destination.
  6. A weird thing to be mad at as a lot of teams carry three RB's with the 3rd strength guy being a Special Teams Ace. I was more ticked off when we carried two kickers because Carpenter couldn't kick the ball far enough. BTW....what unit was on the field when the two most heartbreaking plays in Bills history occurred?
  7. I chuckled.....
  8. Wants that Diggs nameplate change.
  9. We're not running a charity. LOL. He's a clear upgrade at backup though.
  10. Too good of a team not to have a capable backup given Allen's playing style.
  11. $11 million guaranteed is a lot for a 1B (at best) RB coming off a down year.
  12. This is somewhere in between JJ Watt and Greg Olsen in terms of anticipation and quality of veteran coveted.
  13. At the end of the day it's still a hard cap even though there's many ways to manipulate it as the Saints are proving. The trick seems to me is to obviously find your franchise quarterback and instill a solid culture and environment where players want to be there. Then you can sign your own free agents at discounts, ask veterans to pay cuts/contract restructures, attract free agents that may value winning if it means taking a tad less money, and in your case (and hopefully ours) sign a QB that still gets his but is willing to take a little less to keep as much of the team together in order to continue to compete for a Super Bowl every year. The Seahawks, Packers, and Steelers haven't made a Super Bowl since their QB's got paid handsomely despite remaining elite at that position. Even in those circumstances you still have to draft well and develop. The Patriots stopped doing that a couple years before Brady left them because he didn't have any weapons even though they were paying Brady illegally under the table in order for him to take a lower salary. You also have to maximize the parts of the organization that isn't restricted by cap space. Everything from paying premium coaches, GM's, coordinators, and assistant coaches decent salaries to building and maintaining state of the art facilities.
  14. Why not offer him a billion? He pry wouldn't have turned it down.
  15. There was another Bills WR that came over here in his mid 30's that helped take this team to the Super Bowl with a late career resurgence. Can Sanders wear number 80 since 17 is taken up?
  16. The Jets making two AFC Championship games with Sanchez comes to mind.
  17. I think Staley got more last year in guaranteed money so this pry isn't as crazy as it seems. Just glad KC didn't get him.
  18. Watch New England trade a 1st for him.
  19. Remember the Jets spending spree in the 2019 off-season. LOL. They better hope Davis and Lawson turn out a little bit better. CJ Mosley - 5 years, 85 million Le'Veon Bell - 4 years, 52 million Jamison Crowder - 3 years, 28 million Henry Anderson - 3 years, 25 million
  20. NY Giants beat writer for @thebrawlnetwork. Look out Schefter.
  21. Something tells me they don't plan on using 10 personnel a lot this year.
  22. They lost Fitz which was QB for half their wins (I'm including the Raiders game). They also got to play the Bengals and Jaguars while we played the Steelers and Titans. Winning games with def and ST TD's wasn't sustainable down the stretch. They're not close to us talent wise right now but if Watson goes there it's a game changer.
