  1. The Bills have been to two AFC Championship games and have the most playoff wins since 2020 besides Kansas City. The Bengals, meanwhile, have only made the playoffs twice. They went far those two years, but they don't have a superbowl win either. They had a short window and that window appears to be closed, now, even with one of the best QB's in the NFL.
  2. Rookies get paid so little now compared to what they used to. The only upside they have under the rookie wage scale is a gaurenteed 4 years of money.
  3. The schedule is pretty easy to find elsewhere.
  4. It's their award.
  5. The votes need to all be public.
  6. More like a 2nd or 3rd round pick.
  7. It's the accumulation of injuries that really makes a difference. The record would be the same regardless of losing a single player (outside of Josh Allen, of course). But once you have 3, 4, 5 starters down, that starts to have ripple effects. I will say that the Houston game last year showed me how much they missed Shakir, but I think the offense evolved past that glaring weakness afterward. So, only Josh Allen makes sense to do this with. I think they would have won 7 or 8 games without him.
  8. He hasn't ever gotten near that many carries in college or the pros, so I think the chance of that happening is slim. Plus, the Bills like Ty Johnson better than him as a 3rd down back.
  9. That's good he showed up. But he still sent tweats and made his contract process a public thing. He didn't show up for OTA's. Some could look at that as not the right way to go about it. Ultimately, he saw the writing on the wall and showed up, though. That was smart of him. He has zero leverage.
  10. Since NFL fans know who the starting RB is for one of the most prominent teams in the NFL, that makes him a superstar? Plus his brother was a good RB in the league. Cook is a good RB. He isn't a superstar. Ask NFL fans who they think the top superstar running backs in the NFL are, and he will not be mentioned. They'll mention Henry, Barkley, maybe Jacobs, and maybe McCaffrey. Perhaps a couple others. PFF ranks Cook 12th heading into the season. So, they clearly don't see him as a superstar. https://www.pff.com/news/nfl-running-back-rankings-top-32-ahead-of-2025-nfl-season
  11. He is nothing close to a superstar. You are seriously overrating him.
  12. He didn't pay huge money for a RB. He paid huge money for the RIGHT RB. Cook isn't even in the same category as him. I didn't say you never pay a RB. What did I say? You might need to read again.
  13. Couldn't disagree more. Cook isn't worth $15 million a season, so you don't pay him that. Period. He is a running back who doesn't even play 70% of snaps. Move on and find his replacement. The offense won't skip a beat. How many GMs have this mentality of yours? Basically none. They have to consider their market value and weigh it against the opportunity cost. That's how it works.
  14. Last time Cam played it was clear his arm/shoulder was completely shot. He couldn't get the ball to receivers. He was underthrowing everything and skipping the ball at the feet of receivers. You haven't seen him play much at all. He is always injured.
  15. Just one player needs to make the right play in the right moment.
  16. I don't care who it is as long as someone steps up and rushes the passer effectively. If it is Solomon, great. Do I expect a 5th round developmental guy to be the answer? No, not really. But you never know.
  17. He's only 28. For some reason I thought he was older.
  18. Why are we talking about 2017?
  19. There are some good drought players who don't get their due because of the bad teams they played on: Terrence McGee, Chris Kelsey, Nate Clements, Aaron Schobel, and London Fletcher are a few. Lee Evans, of course. I also think Joe Ferguson gets forgotten sometimes. He had some good years.
  20. I think he'll look better than he did last year. He was with the Jets, afterall.
  21. I think we're getting off topic. I never claimed that Sanders was small or couldn't play the run. I stated that the Bills have targeted penetration and pass rush ability at the DT spot. Fans have been clamoring for a big, run stuffing nose tackle type player for awhile. The Bills have shown over and over that they don't care about that. They want a certain type of defenisve tackle and they continue to bring in guys of that type. The scheme itself is designed to stop the pass, not the run. If they stop the run, great, but if they give up some rushing yards, they are fine with that if they are able to limit passing production, big passing plays, force long drives, and get some turnovers.
  22. Actually, the contract doesn't allow for that, which is why there are affixed fines and penalties. That's like saying the league allows you to beat your girlfriend or do drugs with game suspensions. Discipline for not adhering to the rules and contracts is not the same.
  23. He is a penetrating style DT, not a run stuffing DT.
