Well 1st off.... it's puff puff pass, not puff puff give...... ? 2nd... Harry missed most of the year, so that Harry/Star rotation is incorrect. 3rd.... no one played better, and I didn't say they all suck. and no he didn't put the whole d-line on his back. So you have Phillips/Oliver and Star/Harry. 0-tech, 1-tech, 3-tech, tech-9, it shouldn't really matter(i'm talking 4-3) DT is a DT. DE is a DE. it shouldn't matter where you line up. This is the NFL, not pop warner or High School. You should be expected to play either or. Screw what the announcers or people call as 1-tech or 3-tech. I've seen them line up at all positions. Kyle Williams has lined up at 0, 1, 3 and 5. Bruce Smith has lined up at 0, 1, 3, 5 and 7. Kyle plays better as a DT. and Bruce plays better as a DE. regardless of technique, DT is a DT. DE is a DE. Jordan can't replace Star? Where the lines of Hughes/Oliver/Jordan/Lawson never on the field together at all this year?(spoiler- they were) I mean, doesn't Hughes/Oliver/Jordan/Lawson look like a better line than Hughes/Oliver/Star/Lawson or Hughes/Oliver/Harry/Lawson or Hughes/Jordan/Star/Lawson or Hughes/Jordan/Harry/Lawson? Harry went down early in the season so the jury is still out on him, and Star cant do a damn thing. If Phillips can't replace Star, then Oliver can. It'll still be the same thing though. Jordan and Oliver on the field at the same time.

That's why I was asking, I wasn't sure. Give me 1 D-linemen that played better than Jordan this past year.

Phillips rotates with Star correct? So you guys rather keep Star and let Phillips walk? Stars TFL this past season is 3, where Phillips is 13. Phillips is better against the run than Star, way better. Give Phillips a nice contract this year, then at the end of the season cut Star. Then replace star with a rookie in the 2021 draft. Problem solved.

Phillips was our best D-lineman on the team this past season. I can't understand how some people don't realize that. just keeping it simple, stats and eyeball test says he was. Lawson sucks, Hughes isn't as good as people think he is, Murphy isn't great either, and Lotulelei sucks also, and Oliver isn't gonna be what everyone thinks he's gonna be ( no, i'm not an Oliver fan - one of the few people that disliked the pick), I hope I'm wrong on Oliver, but he's undersized, and cocky. I'd take 6'5" 340+ lb D-linemen over 6'1 <300 lbs linemen everyday. One thing that really confuses me, is that some of you don't want to resign Phillips, but totally wanted OBD to sign Lawson to his 5th year contract last off-season ($10+ million). Phillips had just about the same number of sacks (9.5) in this year alone, than Lawson put up in his first 3 years here (10). He had 6.5 this year. You guys wanted to pay someone who hasn't done jack for 3 years, $10+ million, but sit there and say, 'hmmm, I don't really wanna pay Phillips $10 million a year, even though he played way better than Lawson, or Hughes, or anybody for that matter. But I'll be more than happy to shell out $10 million to a guy like Lawson who hasn't done a thing.' wtf people? Now, would I pay Phillips $10+ million? I'd give him $8M - $12M a year over 4 or 5 years. Hell, Kyle Williams was getting around $10M a year over his last 3 years here. And Phillips has more sacks and more TFL's this past year, than Williams had his last 2 seasons here.

It's probably because both Gore and Singletary are very durable. Gore only missed 2 games in the past 6 seasons, and I can't find anything on Singletary as far as injury's go. So with that in mind, why have 4 or 5, when all you really need are these 2.

Well, he almost got a couple sacks in preseason game 1 and 2. But that run D though. DAMN! It seems that 2 out of every 3 running plays against our D-line are TFL. So our run D has dramatically improved with him in there.

No on the fifth year. Just sign him to a 3-4 year contract after this season.

ya know, I really hate it when some sites do this. Nelson and Smith do NOT have 2 years of experience. They haven't even been on the team for 1 full calendar year. They were drafted less than a year ago. So how the hell can they have 2 years of experience?? end rant. I know its off topic, but its irritating, and it can throw people off.

Who cares?? Honestly.... Do people want Josh to check-down more to make his accuracy % higher?? Do people want him to throw it to the RB at the line of scrimmage, or 2-3 yards beyond it just to get tackled right when the RB catches the ball? We've seen it too many times being a bills fan. Tyrod or whoever throws check-downs to the RB near the sideline, who are either behind/on/ or 1-2 yards beyond the line of scrimmage, just to get tackled for no gain or a loss on the play. I've seen Allen look to his check-down multiple times a game, but not throw to him even though he's wide open, then watch Allen throw the long ball, or run with it. I rather he take a chance throwing it down field or running than dumping it off to the running back for little gain. You keep doing you, Mr. Josh " No Check-down" Allen

A lot I'm sure. Wallace was a walk on at Alabama, and I'm sure most NFL coaches see that and automatically dismiss him as not being good enough. Foster only had 14 catches his senior season, and he was buried on the depth chart at Alabama. I'm sure he's giving McBeane input on whether or not to draft Jonah Williams too. Williams @ LT, Dawkins @ RT or G.

Sweet, I love watching these.

I agree with both of you about the Amphitheater, it would be a great idea. Ultimately, it would cost to much money to build a stadium downtown. We've seen people talk about building a new stadium downtown for 10+ years, and nothing happens.

Mehh. I'm there to watch football and piss in sinks just like everyone else.

That's what Keybank Center is for.

Buffalo can revitalize downtown without a new stadium. Buffalo, Erie County, NY state, the Pegulas and the taxpayers don't want to pay. No one wants to pay for it, and the majority of Western NY is happy where it is.

Simple answer, they don't.

The 2019 draft is loaded with DT and DE prospects. Plus his rookie contract isnt up until 2020, I'm sure they'll keep him around this year and draft a DE in round 1 or 2 to replace him before they let him go.
