Blocking is typically the thing TE's struggle with the most. Hawes already has that nailed and he's on the field more than any other TE. He's also proven to be a capable pass catcher. If a blocker is all the bills wanted, they could always throw another lineman out there. Hawes gives them something extra. He might not look like Antonio Gates, but he could easily find himself in situations where he puts up monster games and seasons if we get our play action game going.

As a team who is trying to compete for a championship, I want two types of players: reliable/consistent players with weaknesses we can protect/conceal, and superstars. I don't have room on my roster for "top 15" type players. Guys like Groot, Oliver, and Knox all eat up too much of the cap for what they provide, and the same can be said for our approach of loading up on 2nd tier talent at WR. Kincaid is firmly in the 2nd-tier player camp so far. He'll cost you almost as much as the 1st tier guys while giving you none of that upside. His camp will probably use McBride's deal as a comp, and the Bills will probably have to fight to keep it around Hock's deal of $16.5M a year. **** that. I can count the amount of great games he's had on one hand, and he's had zero truly dominating ones. Let him go and pay a rookie 1M a year and/or sign Goedert for a couple year.

And was a shell of his former self, was constantly plagued by head and neck injuries and retired due to those reasons just a year later. I'd bet a significant amount of money his doctor told him to retire and he tried to tough it out for a chance at a chip.

And how did that end up for Hyde?

And only 3 years left on that $95M deal.

If these guys are central to our gameplan, we're cooked.

McDermott's visibly pained expression and statement, "it's not good", weren't enough? " Dude is done.

If he' still "up and coming" after 3 injury riddled seasons, that's a problem worth factoring in. He should be arrived by now given the investment. We shouldn't continue throwing good money after bad hoping that a guy will turn the corner on his high-priced deal. I'd rather pay more for a proven commodity. We've already seen from Beane's deals that he doesn't get hometown discounts on his guys, so let Kincaid see what his market is and if you still want him, pay the price. Personally, I'd rather continue to invest in Hawes development. I think he has the skills to flourish in this scheme. He plays the most of any TE right now, and his touchdown was magic.

He's a good-not-great player who is highly injury prone. I'd prefer they trade him rather than get saddled with a large contract on a guy who never reaches his potential.

1. Rams 2. Eagles 3. Seahawks I don't think anyone else has a realistic shot, unless there's a crazy scenario like a starting QB is lost early. I guess it's so hard to understand because we seem to be the only team with this problem despite having only one superstar on the team.

Slow news day.

This is the worst bills team I've seen since 2019. Half of this prediction is already bust after that pats blew out NYG last night. You must love betting 16 team parlays.

You should be, or did we not watch the same game?

They did a great job, but if you ask Steeler nation, Watt has been washed for over 2 seasons. They still handled the rest of the steelers front 7 which is a tall order, especially given what we have to work with right now.

"it's 3rd and 11 and and a bubble screen to Cooks goes for 2 yards. Bills Punt."
