I don't even think Solomon is on the Team after week 6. It wouldn't shock me if he doesn't even make it out of camp. He belongs on the PS.

If that was true maybe he'd have more than 6 starts over the last 2 years. He was thrust into the starting lineup due to injury, played ok and was then benched as soon as there were better options. Hamlin isn't a world beater, but he's a legitimate fringe starter. I don't know why folks act like he sucks.

Damar is a lock to make the team. His contract is fully guaranteed and he's a multi-year starter. Forrest is a dart throw.

It better be over by at least 4. If it's not over, we probably miss the playoffs. Why the massive regression for AJ?

If that's fat, I'm cooked.

Realistic: AFC Div Champ - Lose to KC/Bal in Division or AFCCG Optimistic - SB Appearance

I only buy knockoffs. I've had good luck most of the time except for a 50th anniversary Dahlin sweater where the gold trim looks like garland. My Paul Posluszny jersey isn't great either. The rest are good to great.

The goal is do their best to pretend like they have a championship team while they made the move for Rodgers. Fitzpatrick, while their best secondary player, has fallen off the last couple of years from impact plays, and safety isn't as valuable as corner, and adding Smith adds a potential weapon on offense where the cupboard is a bit bare. Ramsey and Fitzpatrick could wash out for them depending on what they do at S. If Tua became available, I think there would be a heavy market for him. He's a player you can win with. He probably can't win it all, but he's better than a lot that's out there.

How is that weird? Seems close to equal value when you consider the cap dump.

Damn. Fitzpatrick could have been a missing piece for us. Would have loved to see a 3 way trade here.

The NFL is far more likely to ruin their own game by way of rule and format changes due to their own greed, than sports betting is, IMO.

Cover 1 is like if Chris Brown ran a football deep-dive show.

It's a giant leap you're making between a small reduction in retail tourism, to ticketed events. Even if we use the 13% decline in regular crossing and attribute that directly to the 7-10% of ticket holders from Canada. We're still talking virtual no one. That's like 150 people. The bigger issue is attendance as a whole. Win, and the tickets will go to Canadians or Americans.

What does that have to do with the Sabres "loss of Canadian fans"?

Why is there a loss of Canadian fans? Could not possibly disagree more that the Sabres are going to leave. I'd put the odds at low single digits. They're one of the most historic non-original six teams in a great hockey market, who have recently hosted the draft, World Junior championships, etc. It doesn't matter what a prospective owner would want. It's up to the league, and the continent is out of viable hockey markets.

I'm excited to see the draft class additions. Last year I believed we were two years away from being able to compete for a SB. I still think we're a year away, but I kind of have a drought-era mindset where I'm allowing myself to dream that if Hairston and Jackson have big rookie years and one of Ogunjobi or Sanders is able to provide a significant upgrade next to Oliver that just maybe we have a chance. On offense, I'd love to see a bounce back year from Kincaid, Palmer finally delivering on the multi-year hype train, and Coleman taking meaningful progress towards being the "open when he's covered" player the Bills have been chasing most of the last 20 years.

The Sabres are in no way "on the way out". It's regularly one of the strongest markets in the country for viewership despite a lousy franchise. I don't see any scenario in which the league would permit a move. New ownership? Sure, and it would be welcome.

He could either be a part time realtor right now or a HOF QB with hundreds of millions of dollars at 46. Seems like a very good trade. Where can I sign up?

They switched offensive philosophy after winning the first one?

It's a shame he took the bag with the Jets instead of going to a decent organization. He was just a shade under a Hall of Fame caliber player in his prime with the Ravens.

Moss went on to perform well with Indy. Great, so see my original point that having Cook here on a deal deal wasn't a significant difference maker, and now add in the opportunity cost of losing out on other players due to his increased cap hit. The only way paying cook makes sense is if other players on cheap deals around him step up the point where we have no real holes, and maintaining the status quo at RB is the optinal move vs gambling on the draft or trading for/signing a better player.

Did you read what you just wrote or what I wrote? Singletary is MILES above guys like Damien Harris (out of football), Justice Hill, and Myles Gaskin(13 carries in the last 3 years). Which one of those guys would you have preferred? In 2020 when the bills drafted Moss, you could have had your pick of: Darrynton Evans Joshua Kelley Lamical Perine Anthony McFarland DeeJay Dallas Jason HuntleyLions Eno BenjaminCardinals Raymond Calais Which one of those guys did you want? Moss has had a better career than any of them, and it's not close. For a guy that spends as much time analyzing the draft as you do, it's odd to me how unaware you are of the value of 3rd round plus RBs No team has reliably done that in the last decade. Why would you expect Beane to reliably hit on a 10% (or less) chance? How does paying a guy already on your roster a big raise help you "win now"? I like Palmer, but I think they grossly overpaid for him. Still, he adds value that wasn't here before. Does James Cook? Maybe they think having a Saquon/Henry type makes more sense than having a Cook type back.

That's a wildly unreasonable expectation. Looking at draft history, you're lucky to get 2 starting caliber players from rounds 3+, and both Singletary and Moss were that. In Singletary's class in 2019, 20 RBs were drafted after him and only one, Tony Pollard, has been better. In Moss' class in 2020, 8 RBs were taken after him and he's the best of that group. 90%+ of the time you're getting an RB that is a career backup when you draft in the 3rd+ in the last 10 years. They don't put up the 150+ yard games that both Singletary and Moss have. Make no mistake, I'm not saying they're great, but you're grossly misrepresenting their ability and achievements in comparison to their peers. https://www.drafthistory.com/index.php/positions/rb

As do I, and that's a point I was trying to make. You don't need a player to make a given play most of the time, if he can be as effective in totality. How? What exactly are you expecting of 3rd round players? Both of those guys have started in this league and have had monster games from time to time. Not sure what more you're looking for there.
