Like I said, I was against signing him to a 2nd contract. So, I agree with you. Rousseau is a good player, but not what we need. We need a sack specialist.

He isn't making top 15 money. He is the 16th highest paid pass rusher, and every season that ranking will go down. His pay might seem like a lot to you, but that is what the market is for a player the caliber of Rousseau. That being said, I was against signing him to a 2nd contract. I would have let him walk.

Rousseau isn't paid like a premier pass rusher, though. He is paid like an average starter.

Prepare to be disappointed. The Bills aren't all of the sudden going to play drastically different on defense. They'll play more man and probably blitz more, and maybe they'll have a wrinkle or two. You can't just change your defense mid season, though. It's not a videogame. Everything has to be installed, learned, and practiced by the players over weeks and months.

Slay is clearly an upgrade over Ingram, who is a borderline practice squad player. And what did the Bills invest in Ingram? He was an undrafted free agent. He has been a practice squad and bottom of the roster player for a couple of years. I'm not sure why anyone is getting worked up about him.

I don't think it is injury. I think it is embarrassment from the game he played last week. He can't show his face.

Phil Hansen was better than Rousseau, unfortunately. That being said, Rousseau is the 16th highest paid edge rusher. That's not a huge overpay.

We need to sign a defensive end, honestly.

The Bills don't need to win out. They could, I suppose, and that would be great, but they just need to take it week by week and get a few more wins to make it to the playoffs. If the Pats take 1st place in the division, good for them. And they can enjoy the tougher schedule next year.

Bills: 27 Bengals: 24

Good depth. All it takes is one injury before we need him to take meaningful reps.

The Bills are 3rd in yards and 5th in points per game on offense. On defense they are 7th in yards allowed and 13th in points allowed per game. So, I don't know how Fox Sports is doing their own rankings, but that's how they rank with their actual stats.

If Kansas City loses to Houston, their chances of making the playoffs goes down to about 11%. It would be so fun to see them miss the playoffs with Mahomes not even missing any time. So, they just weren't taking things seriously before and they decided that now, in week 14, it is finally time to get dialed in and try to win? That's pretty bad, if true. Andy Reid must have lost the locker room if he can't get his team motivated to play until now. He should be on the hot seat. Or maybe they just don't have the horses this year and aren't the dominant team they have been...

Bosa and Thompson are the obvious choices. But Milano is a dark horse IF he comes back on a very cheap contract and the Bills bring in more linebacker competition. That would be a low risk, high reward situation.

Pittsburgh actually has an average offense. They are 15th in yards and 15th in points per game (23.4). Its not like they are a bottom 5 offense or anything. The Bills made them look much worse than they actually are.
