I'm so happy most of you aren't decision makers regarding an NFL roster. Oh lets bring back the Reilly guy he has heart! O'leary killing it with 4 receptions in a game we should have never let him go! lollll. Reilly could get picked up on a team and go for 1 rec 8 yards and a TD in garbage time and there'll be 10 threads about how we can't evaluate talent

I agree with Mort, Allen hasn't earned his stripes yet to go up to the vets and say "hey we're doing _____" KB13 is a scrub though for this and it's the cherry on top to his **** attitude and performance. He's going to be out of the league in 2 years. Next year he'll enter FA looking for 15 mil a year blaming everybody but himself for his poor stats. He'll end up with a 1 year prove it deal and he'll have another **** year, and be out of the league.

Not gonna happen. They're gonna want a first or a 2020 first for him.

Someone already was fired because they passed on Mahomes, despite Pegula wanting him badly. His name was Doug Whaley

It's crazy how many ignorant people on twitter are angry at Bryant for leaving. He leaves now and he's able to save his year of eligibility, and will be able to go to another team where he can start and hopefully do enough to continue his career in football and become a pro. People are mad that he's not a "team player" and not willing to tough it out with Clemson. Um sorry but NCAA is the most selfish organization in sports, nobody should have a problem with anyone that decides to do the best thing that is for their hopefully future career.

If Browns were smart they’d deal Tyrod to the niners right now

I hope you lose so hard. You should never stake money you aren’t comfortable with losing twice

They need to slide Groy to G Bench Miller and start Teller at the other guard. See what you got. It can't be much worse.
Per PFF, Ducasse is the NFL’s best pass-blocking guard through the first two weeks of the season with an overall grade of 91.3. He also had a team-high 88.3 pass-blocking grade against the Los Angeles Chargers during a 31-20 loss for the Bills.
Miller finished Week 2 as the highest-rated Bills’ offensive player overall (pass and run blocking combined) with a score of 73.3. Between both Ducasse and Miller, the duo have only surrendered one quarterback pressure in the first two games of the season.
3) The player that surprised the heck out of me
- I teased this out on Twitter, but one player's performance completely shocked me, considering my initial read on his game against the Chargers on Sunday night. That player is none other than right guard John Miller (some of you were right, congratulations!). It just goes to show how vital going back and watching the game from as many different angles as you can, so that way you get an accurate picture as to how players performed. Immediately after the game, I thought Miller had another continuation of Week One, where he looked just a tick slow and was part of the reason for the offensive woes. That was only the case on a pair of snaps. The rest of the game, Miller looked confident and was controlling his one-on-one's on almost a play-to-play basis. I even thought it might be time to see what rookie Wyatt Teller brought to the table, but after seeing the way Miller played in Week Two, I don't think the Bills should do that any longer. Along with Miller, Vladimir Ducasse had another strong showing (and debuts at number five in the season-long grades this week), Dion Dawkins played well against a tough matchup in Melvin Ingram, and even right tackle Jordan Mills had a solid day. Of the five, the biggest weakness was center Ryan Groy -- and that may be the reason that head coach Sean McDermott was hesitant to commit to the same starting offensive line for Week Three. It wasn't as bad of a performance as Week One for Groy, but with a veteran in Russell Bodine right there on the bench, the Bills could feel inclined to make the switch. In all, my apologies to Miller. I was wrong. He had a great game.

Background- Whaley spent to the cap in the 2013 season, 2014 season, 2015 season and 2016 season. He never rolled over more than 2 mil in any single year. In order to sustain this spending contracts had to be back loaded and contracts needed to be reworked. These things are common in teams making a championship push, we never made that push but we did pay for the attempt.
2017- Heading into the off season we had 24 million in cap space. Our major free agents were Woods, Goodwin, Gilmore, Zack Brown and Lorenzo Alexander. In order to have resigned them they would have needed to rely on cheep contracts now that become expensive later, as well as renegotiating other contracts. Looking ahead these choices would eventually lead to not being able to retain talent, just like retaining Woods, Gilmore and Goodwin was going to be tough in 2017.
Looking ahead to 2018- Talent was going to be lost on the way to 2018, no way around it. There wouldn't be cap room to replace that talent either meaning the reliance was going to be solely on the draft to fill those gaps. If you look at how our cap would have projected you can see the crunch we were in. These figures are based on the actual 2018 cap hits of these players or the cost to have kept their contracts in the case of traded players. Some of these players may have had larger cap hits for us as a consequence of squeezing them under our 2017 cap.
The players we did not resign
Gilmore- 12.5
Woods-5.5
Goodwin-6.2
Total 24.2
The players we traded
Watkins- 13.2 (cost of 5th year option)
Darius- 16
Glenn-15
Tyrod-16
Total-60.2
The retirement
Wood- 9
Players we kept
Mccoy-9
Clay-9
Hughes-10.4
K Williams- 5.5
Total 33.9
The total for that core group of players that our 2016 roster was built around would have been 127.3 million in 2018
Leaving 50 Million to sign 2017 rookies, 2018 rookies and fill a total of 41 other roster spots an impossible task.
Good post, however I mean currently we are holding a 53 man roster with 53 million in dead cap because we cut/traded players early on their contracts. So the end of the whole story is it's not an impossible task, we're doing it right now.

When the Patriots are winning, it's bearable to be on the Patriots.
When the Patriots are losing, it's intolerable. It's the least fun franchise to probably play for in sports. But players are willing to do it because of the results. When the results stop coming in, so will the players.

Out of bounds. He lost the ball before going out of bounds but as he was out of bounds (his elbow was touching the white) the ball touched him. As soon as the ball touches any player that even has a toe out of bounds, it's a dead ball.

Actually, that seems to be about the going rate for space eaters. Dontari Poe makes $9.33 million annually, Timmy Jernigan makes $12 million a year and Damon Harrison got a 5 year deal for $46 million. The salary cap is expanding and contracts are getting bigger.
You just named 3 good DTs, Star is not good

THIS. ISN'T. MADDEN.
Browns are trying to trade Gordon to the NFC
Dez Bryant said VEHEMENTLY, that he wants to play for a contender that already has weapons so he can get single coverage and rack stats
-
Do people understand that Dez has made it perfectly clear that he's not just going to join any team that tosses a contract his way? He wants to be in a situation where he can showcase his ability still and get good numbers. You think he's gonna want to get double teamed in Buffalo with this putrid offensive line and a rookie QB who's known out of college to have accuracy concerns? Just seriously, enough with the Dez Bryant talks. This isn't madden, people will say no to the Bills, John Brown did it already to us this offseason
-
2020 will be their last season if they can't turn it around by then they won't sniff 2021

No huddle with a QB that isn't accurate is a recipe for disaster

If Allen doesn't end up being good, we'll likely be in striking distance for a QB again a few times during his tenure here. We need to use every available pick we have to build around Allen, not to prepare for him being no good. That's absurd

What they’re never going to tell you... Last year was the tear down/tank year. Ship off anything you can get value for in the form of draft picks. Good QB class coming out, draft high. What they DIDNT plan on, was making the playoffs or having a winning record. How do you snap the longest drought in North American sports and come out and say.. “whoops! Wasn’t our intention?” Beane has been good so far at getting picks for players. However, Whaley is showing to be the master at digging through the trash and bringing in high quality players. Having the record that they did last year threw a wrench in their plans. Right now, you’re seeing them scramble to act like they planned for it all along.. Beanes ability to bring in any sort of quality FA is quite suspect to this point.
Exactly. Like I'll take the drought being over it was great to just to purge that weight looming on our staff/locker room/fan base. But we really screwed the pooch in hindsight playing way above our projection. IF we went 6-10 for instance we would have likely been able to keep most of our picks

Robert Woods should have been resigned. His contract is a bargain and he’s really shown what he can do with a QB.
Dareus I’m torn on. He wasn’t motivated and didn’t fit the process. But isn’t that a coaches job to motivate and reach players.
Darby makes no sense to me still. Especially with our current DB situation and the style we run.
Nothing could be done about the O-Line situation. There weren’t any FA’s and we filled other positions of need with picks. It sucks and was unexpected.
The money we spent on Murphy and Star is the biggest question for me. If we don’t get a pass rush going or plug the run, we just wasted 20 mil.
Yes Star is/will be proven as an awful use of 50 mil over 5 years. And we're essentially stuck with him through 2020, where then we can dump him with only a 5 mil dead cap hit. If we were to dump him in 2019, he'd cost nearly 8 mil in dead cap, and with his salary being a bit over 10 mil that year, it just makes sense to keep him even if he's rotational depth. What a nightmare.
Murphy's contract is much more friendly, and we can dump him after this season for a measly 3.5 mil dead cap hit, or the year after for a 1.75 mil cap hit. He was coming off a strong 2016 campaign and unfortunately got hurt last year before the season, it was a calculated gamble that I don't hate. I'd actually like to see us do something similar with CB Jason Verrett from the chargers, who has been snakebit by back to back year ending injuries (achilles and ACL). I'd bring him in on a similar Trent Murphy deal situation.

I am not a Beane/McDermot hater, but I think the roster they inherited was much better than what we have now. I realize, this is a work in progress, and I am hopeful they build something better than what they are trying to replace...but they aren't there yet. In my opinion, Rex Ryan and his coaching staff were the biggest obstacle to the Bills success.
There's turnover for every roster every NFL season. We were 3 years younger in 2015-2016, we had Lorenzo Alexander in a scheme where he had a great year, now he's an outlier. When there's consistent holes to fill each season, and our GM Doug Whaley was unable to get quality players to help with the natural turnover rate, a team's roster will of course degrade.
