What’s up with Gambling int he NFL amongst NFL Players?
Mat68 replied to PatsFanNH's topic in The Stadium Wall
No. They are banned from NFL football and banned from placing a bet in the team facility. These were bets placed at the team facility. Any bets on NFL games and he will probably be made an example out of. -
Very good signing. Floyd most likely starts week 1 opposite Rousseau. Once Miller returns they will have a solid rotation.
-
He isnt a bust. Multiple players in the first rd are already out of the league. He is a day 1 starter who has shown good pass rush ability. That guy is not as easy to find. I think Buffalo didnt want to go into 24 without a DT under contract.
-
True but tackle stats are a team provided stat. Also, football now is differant than football than. Teams dont run as much as they did than. Sacks, forced fumbles, tackles for loss are impact plays regardless of era.

Hopkins released by Arizona (7/16: signed by Titans)

Oliver resigning could create more cap space than any other single move Buffalo could make. I think him signing would be paired with a restructure to Dawkins as well. -
Maybe but the NFL disagrees.
-
I went down that rabbit hole because they are similar built and obviously Williams is beloved. Oliver was compared to Donald. He is not Donald. But being a starting caliber NFL player isnt a bust either. The amount of money is alot but DT is the 3rd most valuable position on defense behind Edge and Db. I think Buffalo is wise to pay Oliver instead of Edmunds in a roster construction mindset.
-
Then he plays too well and they cant pay him. Like Edmunds.

They played. If they were drafted to a worst team they would start. -
For those curious Kyle Williams didnt make a pro bowl until year 5. Oliver in his his first 4 years has 6 more sacks twice as many forced fumbles and only 2 less tackles for loss. Salaries have ballooned Oliver has been solid not elite. The contract matches and provides Buffalo flexibility. Buffalo could restructure both Dawkins and White and pay Hopkins 15 mil without using void years.
-
Its 2023 we all realize the Guaranteed money is the real deal. By resigning him now Buffalo will lower his cap number this year. Paying a starting level player who is 25 less than top 10 money is a win. Its as team friendly as it gets. The cap has increased so these numbers hurt peoples brains but by the time his draft class signs his number will be 15th to 20th in annual rank.
-
No its not
-
45 over 5 years. If he plays like a monster its 68. For a starting DT thats the rate. The top guys are over 20 per year. The FA market at DT is poor. Your not finding an upgrade over Oliver in the end of the first rd either.

Longer it goes keeps the Bills viable. They are bot going crazy. I think if D hop is open to less money Buffalo will be back in. Too many teams without wrs have money. I think he will get a real deal. -
Why did Isaiah McKenzie fail as starting Slot WR?
Mat68 replied to JohnNord's topic in The Stadium Wall
The play on opening night that resulted in a pick was the end. The gotta have it plays he was never an option for Allen. -
Optimism. This is the best roster the Buffalo Bills have had since the 90’s Bills. Pessimism this is the toughest conference since the NFC in the 80’s and 90’s.

Buffalo has had the more consistent defenses. In a vacuum Kc has been able to out perform Buffalo in the playoffs by being more multiple and more aggressive. The Leslie Frazier Sean Mcdermott Defense is similar to the pre Mahomes Andy Reid offense. Great out the gates and fizzles down the stretch in playoffs. Great in a week by week league but in a win or go home scenario they become predictable in their conservative nature. Is this a Leslie Frazier play calling tendency or a Mcdermott tendency. We are going to find out. -
Nyheim Hines gets it, better than the coaches, better than the GM.
Mat68 replied to Chaos's topic in The Stadium Wall
To be a reliable underneath receiver for the Bills you need to be securely in Allens trust tree. After Beasley there was not much last year. Mckenzie was not. Crowder didnt stay healthy enough. I think Cook is getting close. Out of the Kincaid, Harty, Sherfield, Hines and Shakir the guy who gains his trust will be the guy thats most productive. -
Good for him. Outside of that the fascination with it is weird to me.

Mat68 replied to HappyDays's topic in The Stadium Wall
Within reason. If he gets a massive long term deal than it wasn't to be. I think simple restructures to either Dawkins or White creates enough room to have it make sense without going max void years. -
No. Diggs is made they lost. This is a media creation. Tom Brady threw tantrums like a toddler multiple times a year and crickets.

Will DeAndre Hopkins be available this offseason?
Mat68 replied to NeverOutNick's topic in The Stadium Wall
Hopkins was very productive last year when he returned with Colt Mccoy. OBJ has been not been prolific or consistently good in years. Coming off multiple knee injuries. Beane pulling out on OBJ does not mean he will do the same with Hopkins. Hopkins has been talking alot about Buffalo. Buffalo was reported to be one of the main suitors in terms of trade. Greg at cover 1 has broken down multiple was Buffalo can make a OBJ like deal fit. If Hopkins is willing to do a real multi year deal its makes it easier. Without negotiating they can restructure both Dawkins and White creating 12 mil in cap space. The report about Buffalo evaluating the recovery of Whites knee makes this a real possibility. -

Great put him and Miller in Bubble wrap in storage. Open them up on Christmas in time for the playoffs. This isnt a move for September. This is a playoff move. Create more problems for defenses. Having guys who can win one on one does that. Not having to take the cheese on 3rd and long but having a guy who can win in 10-15 yards does that. -
I think he wins the job. His speed adds a nice combo with Milano.
