He's only 29! It really does feel like he's been in the league for about 15 years to me too 🤣

Okay based on physique, I am officially declaring for the NFL draft.

I was just able to trade up to #22 for Kyle Pitts for a 4th and next year's 2nd...GET IT DONE BEANE.

I just have to say, I absolutely love being a Bills fan...19 freaking pages of discussion about Jacob Hollister!!

I mean I can't be positive 😁 I just think if Dalton, Fitz and Tyrod got paid what they did then Trubisky could have gotten something more than 2.5 million from someone.

Beane is justifiably getting loads of credit but I think we also need to McD and the rest of the coaching staff some credit as well. The Trubisky signing isn't something that pushes us over the top and I know that none of us ever want to see him taking any meaningful snaps, but I don't think there is any question that he could have been paid a LOT more somewhere else. McD and the staff have clearly built something pretty special & the word is out. Trubisky went from a team that never really had his back & didn't give him any support to a a team that players absolutely love playing for. Almost every player that we re-signed could have taken more money elsewhere if they waited it out a bit - Dion, Tre, Milano, D Williams, Feliciano & Levi. Heck, Levi pretty much said that he didn't want to play anywhere else. Obviously winning helps that but this team just seems to love being together and that can't be overstated.

All he does is score touchdowns!

I'll wait to hear the dollar amount before I come to a solid conclusion but as long at it isn't too big I really like the move. Obviously you never want t see him take the field except in a blowout but if Josh misses any time we would be dead with Barkley as the starter. Trubisky will always be criticized a lot because the Bears took him over Watson & Mahomes but he's been a solid player. Worthy of the #2 pick? No, but I also think the offensive coaching staff of the Bears and front office haven't done the team any favors in a while. Having said that, I will really miss Barkley and the energy that he brought to the team. Not a lot of fan bases can claim to have a great memory of their backup QB but I'll always remember his coat twirling (along with Jerry, Ed, Shaq & Jordan) on the sidelines during the Steelers game last year. Glad he got in the week 17 game & was able to drop a freaking dime to Gabe.

Happy for the man after what he dealt with in Washington. I'm also happy that we were able to sign the Shnowman when we did!

This would make the passing game devastating but I don't see how it could be remotely possible. Projections have him getting big time money and Agholor just got 13 million per year.

Love it. 9 Teams (so far) and dude will finish with more career yards than Steve Young, Troy Aikman and maybe even Jim Kelly. Obviously nowhere near any of those guys but definitely one of the most interesting careers in NFL history.

I'm starting to get the same sort of crush on Toney that I had on DK Metcalf a couple of years ago. If we don't get him, someone that I would love in the second round is Rondale Moore. He has some injury concerns but a very similar player that could be a nice fit.

I think everyone that is placing 100% of the blame on any one thing needs to calm down just a little bit. Were we amazing at running the ball last year? Of course not but were we dreadful? No. We were average and I think that's a combo of scheme, blocking, actual commitment to the run at times and yes, to the talent in the backfield. If we drafted Etienne I would be fine with that & he is just about the only "home run" threat in the draft at RB but I also think that home run threat is vastly overrated. Who are some of what we'd consider home run threats? Dalvin Cook...Nick Chubb...Derrick Henry? They all have 40 times pretty much the same as both Moss and even Antonio Williams (one of the boards favorite future hall of famers).

You have to give a lot more credit to Tampa's O-line. Motor and Moss would have looked pretty good behind that line and just look at much more time Brady had than Josh had a couple of weeks ago.

I'm sure when he does it it's because he's amazing though. Nick will have no problem having a double standard when it comes to those two.

I don't hate it depending on the cost. Speaking of cost, this is going to be a really interesting FA year, and it might end up being pretty boring for a while. I think with the lowered salary cap a lot of players are going to go with one year prove it deals in the hope that the 2022 salary cap goes way up. This could bode well for the Bills at least to go all in for 2021.

This was the moment for me as well but I will include some of the prior plays as well. 1. KC stuffs Jones at the goal line...turnover on downs. I FULLY expected this to be the moment that Mahomes turned it on and marched down the field. 2. Kelce drops a pass that hits hit right in the hands on 3rd down. 3. An absolute bomb of a punt is called back because of an egregious hold. The subsequent punt goes 29 yards and the Bucs start inside the 40. 4. VERY suspect defensive holding call negates an INT. 5. A defender does his Dee Ford impression and lines up Offside on a field goal giving them a first down...TD pass to Gronk on the next play.

This is often referred to as the Nick Wright effect.

I think it really shows the difference between having a defensive line with good players vs. a line with great players. The Bills have a lot of good players but none that are great...Tampa has some players that have been great for a couple of seasons. JPP looks like he did early with the Giants, Barrett is a beast, Suh may have lost a step (go ahead...you tell him that) but can still be a monster and Vea might be one of the strongest players in the league. Put them on the field at the same time and it is trouble no matter who they face. That leads me to another thought about having a bunch of good guys on the line. I don't know what the snap count for this game was but it seemed like when the pocket collapsed (and it did often), all of those guys that I mentioned were on the field at the same time. Clearly McDermott values depth and likes to rotate guys but is it better to have a fresh but average group or a less than fresh great group? That oversimplifies it and I know it isn't easy to just go out and find a great pass rusher but I really think it stinks that we haven't been able to pair another great end with Jerry for a few years. He hasn't had the big sack numbers but he is always near the top of the league at pass rush efficiency. If another comparable player could be on the field with him (even now...he still had a pretty good year) I think the defense looks a lot different.

100% right, and not just to protect Allen but to improve the running game. Tonight's game proved how important it is to build around your o-line and d-line (once you have a QB).

Something that was funny to me, was that right after the melon flavored Mountain Dew commercial there was one for diabetes testing. For me, the It Wasn't Me commercial was the best but the Alexa one was pretty great too.

Honestly it really is this. I know that KC has a bunch of close games but I really don't know who could have beaten them yesterday. Bills could have done an awful lot of things differently and although the final score would have been closer I just don't think they would have won. How on earth did the Raiders manage to beat them?

I think the jury is still out on both players but in Edmunds case I think a lot of you are answering based on yesterday's game and I'm not sure that's very fair. If linebackers are going to be judged by whether they can cover Kelce then I think pretty much all LB would suck.

That's a great point and I think is the better argument for replacing Singletary, not his running ability. A lot of people here talk about the value of a running back's home run ability but I think versatility is far more important. Kamara is Kamara because you can put him anywhere on the field and he's a mismatch...same goes for Barkley, Hunt, Aaron Jones, McCaffrey, etc.
