All Raiders fans.

Its funny how this works. When I was younger my want to go exceeded my ability to pay, but I went anyways. Nowadays my ability to pay exceeds my want to go, especially when principles get involved. The secondary market for Bills tickets has priced me out of games this year. I refuse to pay 400 dollars a ticket to sit in the 300s. My wife and kids love the musical Hamilton, its playing in Rochester, not the original cast, and its close to $200 dollars a ticket, no way in hell. I have a large family, for us to go to Hamilton it would cost $1200 dollars plus fees. I am not a huge fan of popular music, so that doesnt impact me much. But even, going to see a moderately popular band at a place like Ironworks is going to cost you between $75 and $200 dollars a ticket. For instance, Bumpin Uglies, a moderately popular reggae band I like is playing at Ironworks, $64 dollars a ticket plus fees. No thank you. Concerts in particular have become less and less attractive to me. Artists complain about the cost of touring, jack up ticket prices, and still have huge stage sets and 6 opening bands. They want to justify price by having 2 hours of bands play before the headliner. I dont want to watch 2 hours of bands play before the band I paid to see. I also dont want to get home at 1 or 2am anymore.

This makes a little more sense. Samuel isnt owed 7 million if the Bills trade him because he has already played 6 games. Depending on the week he is likely more around 4-5 million. Your point about next year is apt. That said, if we had to pay a little more in the trade to shed the contract Id be ok with that.

You just made an argument as to why Samuel would be the traded player if New Orleans wants a pick and a player in return for Olave. If you can bring that sort of talent into the building you move Samuel in a second. If they can bring in someone like Olave, he takes Coleman's spot in the starting lineup. Coleman goes to #4, and Shavers is kept because he plays special teams. At that point it doesnt matter who you keep between Moore and Samuel because the snaps will be insignificant.

They've for sure made an appearance before. I remember him getting flamed for wearing them last time too.

The Bills got almost the exact amount of production for 11 million dollars a year less. Bernard was the better choice.

Completely agree with you. I'd take Jeudy over Keon in a heart beat.

The Browns would have to eat 9 million dollars in salary over 3 years. His stats are fine, but those numbers come from a ton of targets. Hes a skilled player, but he has below average hands. He may be better than Coleman, but you have to call on Olave first.

For me the only realistic option is Olave. There are a few categories each of these guys fall into, including AJ Brown who was mentioned in another post. Ridley, Waddle, and AJ Brown all fall into the money sense category. Ridley is owed close to 15 million for the remainder of the year, and another 22 million dollars on average over the next two seasons. Thats a horrible idea. Miami would have to eat 9 million dollars in cap over the next two years to move Waddle. The Eagles would need to eat 25 million in cap space over the next three years to move Brown. They'd get no cap relief until 2028. Jeudy, Cooks, and Robinson are either over the hill or JAGs. The juice isnt worth the squeeze. Olave and Wilson both have tradeable contracts. The Saints need a QB, and the Jets need a QB and almost everything else. Sadly, I am not sure the Jets are stupid enough to trade Wilson in the division. Olave is the most tangible of any available wideout.

No. But you maybe have another 4-5 years in his prime. The sand goes through the hour glass fast.

The point is you cant fix everything so maybe fix the one where you have an NFL MVP. Its not just about Allen. I am sure he had basically nobody open all game. But he also made bad decisions. I don't know why thats so hard for people to say.

No I am acting like you need to score more than 14 points in an NFL game to win. Especially if your Qb makes 13% of your cap. Its doable, 1/3rd of the time. Not very good odds.

And my Aunt would be my Uncle if she had balls.

So 33%? Not really a solid plan.

Pretty sure there was a Cowher billboard back in the day. I dont recall his tenure here. How did it go?

Go ahead and look at the league scores from this week and see how many games you win scoring 14 points on offense.

All 3 phases stink right not but if you think Cole fing Bishop a safety, is a bigger issue than why your MVP QB can only muster 14 points you have no clue. Not every football position is equal. They have problems at every position. Personally Id rather they focus on WR, DE, and CB than frickin saftey.

They need to get a real outside wr at the trade deadline. Hope Josh Palmer is healthy and then make sure Coleman only sees the field when they go 4 wide

The defense is also the least of the Bills worries. If you cant score more than 14 points with Josh Allen at QB id start on that side of the ball. Bishop is about 10th on the list of stuff id worry about on defense

Bishop is much better than Rapp. I have to admit, I didnt see posterized in the metrics so I may be wrong.

Hes the least of this teams worries.

Bishop ia fine. Rapp is horrendous. The linebackers stink. Outside of QB, RB, Oline and DT this team isn very good.

Doesn't matter. He isnt available. Its nonsense to even discuss.

Again who are you hiring? And this dumb azz idea that the Rams will take a draft pick for McVay doesnt apply because its a fairytale.

The bottom line with this team is the talent isnt good enough. When youre going into the trade deadline and you legitimately need a #1 wideout, a starting safety, a starting corner back, and likely a #1 DE your GM isnt doing a good enough job.
