SCBills

I’m pretty sure the report sourced an NFC Exec of a team linked to OBJ. Would certainly make sense, given the Giants more so than the Bills and Cowboys likely have an eye leaning towards next season.

Cade Klubnik saved Clemson against Syracuse. Dabo then goes back to DJU. Yikes… Clemson is playing for a spot in the CFP tonight if he stuck with Klubnik.

This has all been out there. Multi-year deal, hopeful to get 20M per year. There were reports about OBJ looking for that when the time came months ago before he was ever even cleared. Either we’ll all be shocked and someone gives him that or that’s simply numbers put out by Odell’s agent. I can’t imagine we’d be hosting him at that price point. And I can’t imagine we’re so far off that it wouldn’t make any sense to bring him in. I do think he’s getting a 2-3 year deal. I’d be shocked if it’s 20M per, with this year being pro-rated of course.

Kirk Herbstreit with the Josh Allen reference in the Big XII Championship Game. TCU QB threw a pick off his back foot under pressure to which Kirk said “unless you’re Josh Allen you’re not making that throw”.

Only team that might sign him to 20M per is the Cowboys, and their fans would riot given Jerry Jones basically traded away a healthy Cooper making the same money because he wouldn’t get vaccinated.

I think Davis is a monster WR3. His size and deep threat ability. Just a beast in that role. He doesn’t seem to have the reliability/route tree to be a WR2, that I’ve seen. WR2 needs to be able to move the chains in a variety of ways. He’s had a few first downs in the past few weeks, but there needs to be a lot more of that for him to claim the role.

He’s always seemed a bit clunky, but he’s also 6-2 and jacked.. Not a ton of WR’s with that build.

Chiefs Defense is sus if they can’t get pressure with Jones and co., so I’d agree. They’ve been flirting with an L for a minute now … hopefully the Bengals finally hand them one.

Plenty. Quite a few rely on the run game to set up the pass game and/or protect mediocre QB play. And then some use it as the primary driver of their offense.. Ravens, Eagles, Browns, 49ers, Titans etc..

Or he’s on a pass heavy offense. This is like hyping the numbers for the RB2 on a team that runs a wishbone offense.

Chiefs roster has evolved. Skyy Moore emerging and they’ve made a bunch of moves to bolster the depth of their skill positions. Not sure anyone on this team has definitively emerged.. James Cook, hopefully? We've made one move.. Hines. NFL is a different world lately. Teams make in-season moves. Last year the Rams brought in Von. Chiefs brought in Ingram. Trend continues into this year. See, Eagles, Vikings, Chiefs, Bills etc.

Depends on whether you think coaching plays a part in execution. Bills are the defending SB Champions, zero doubt in my mind, if 13 seconds doesn’t happen.

This seems like wishcasting by a Giants beat writer, but I do think the multi-year deal is accurate. Whoever he signs with likely means next year as well.

McDermott is a very good coach. For the most part.. Great coaches get to the Super Bowl. Legendary coaches win it. Remains to be seen if he can make the jump. I hope he can because I really like him as a leader of men.

Rookie wall can be a real thing, but we seem to have way more excuses as to why rookies can’t play than any team I can ever remember. Big reason for drafting premium positions early is because of the rookie contract. Bills seems content only ever getting 2-3 years out of it. Not normal. Is what it is, but coaching staff better be right on these decisions because this is the type of stuff that is worth being critical over if they fall short again.

Chiefs, all of the above? They can basically offer what we can offer. We have no idea if we’d be in on a long term deal. KC is not a huge market.

People saw him come back from the ACL and be on his way to Super Bowl MVP. Also, Jerry Jones is now involved.

I think Dallas is willing to go 2-3 years, so I think if we sign him, it’s certainly multi-year but 4 would be insane.

The offense was different. We had some new wrinkles and ran the ball down their throat. That’s not more of the same. That being said, our defense big-boyed a bad offense so nobody seems concerned that - yet again - we went multiple drives d**king around up two scores and the ability to end the game. The kill shot came on the long drive, but it was the same garbage we saw against the Jets and Vikings that allowed them back into a game we ended up losing. Dumb penalties, poor execution, drops etc.. Not going to harp on it because we were just 10x better than the Pats, but the Bills stay being the only team that can slow down the Bills.

No. Not at all. Heavy push back on that. The Rams traded picks for Stafford. Picks for Ramsey. Picks for Von. They built up a SB winner that was a house of cards. The minute they lost Von and had some injuries, it all came crashing down. That is not the Bills, nor is it the Chiefs. Unfortunately for us, and for them, both front offices subscribe to the vision of short term AND long term success around an elite QB. Bills have all of their main future picks. If we were the Rams, we’d be loading up for this year with a team going into next year with no Day 1 or Day 2 picks, no restructure levers to pull on young players and a team already starving for depth. That is, unequivocally, not us .. whether we sign OBJ or not.

Fair enough. I think both are risky. Poyer due to his age and OBJ due to his injury history. That being said, the payoff for hitting on OBJ and having a monster WR2 for Josh is much, much higher than the payoff of having Poyer and Hyde at Safety next year. (IMO)

They looked dominant and in control the whole game. Pats needed a wrinkle play to get a TD. Interesting that we came into the game looking to blitz. Pats expected that. We got beat. Then we were just like oh.. we can just get pressure with four = game over. On offense, Allen looked composed and the run game slowed down their pass rush. As usual, only we stopped ourselves. Up 10 and then like the Jets/Vikings games, went multiple drives begging the opponent to get back into the game. Sweeney holding, Quessenberry smoked for a fumble and Diggs drop on next drive. This is the difference between rolling the Titans and losing the Jets/Vikings games. Luckily our defense dominated and it never tightened up, allowing the O to finally get the kill shot drive.

They can likely backload the Edmunds contract, as he’s a young, talented player who should be a good bet to live up to his contract. I think it’s likely guys like Poyer & Singletary walk for contracts elsewhere. We have restructures available that don’t hamstring our future, especially with Beane never trading away major picks. Where an OBJ multi-year deal probably hurts us is in finding a little extra here and there for some of the Jordan Phillips, Daquan Jones, Tim Settle, Roger Saffold type signings we saw last year.

Sure. Can’t keep everyone. This is something every team with an elite QB deals with.

Podcast guys have done great breakdowns of the Bills future cap situation. In summary, we are fine. We’ll likely lose some guys like Poyer, Singletary, luxury vets as role players etc., but we have restructures available and all of our main future draft picks. We’re in good shape.
