I'd rather see them upgrade through the draft. McC isn't worth the money for as little as he's played.

I would agree. This would provide an easy avenue to circumvent the salary cap.

You know that actually makes sense.

I agree with this. The move has also been to hiring from the offensive side of the ball, not defensive. That's why they are starting the efforts to move more black coaches to that side of the ball. As to the Cardinals not wanting to move up to grab Josh Allen, I was under the impression they tried to move up but the Bills beat them to it. Recall, no one was dealing above pick 7.

Also Jumbo Elliott wasn't even on the Giants then. He was pretty much out of football if you read his Bio.

I don't see the Bills getting rid of any vets that were integral to their success over the past two years. If they are going all out for the Super Bowl, you don't create holes getting rid of veterans and then have to replace them with unknowns in the draft. Poyer is counting almost $11M against the Cap this season. It would not surprise me if the Bills extended him a year or two with a signing bonus to spread that out, like they did for Hyde.

That is incorrect. Bills signed him in 2004 as an undrafted free agent out of Arkansas where he played Tight End.

Found a neat article on the potential for a realistic extension for Diggs. https://www.buffalorumblings.com/2022/4/4/23001378/stefon-diggs-contract-projection-2022-buffalo-bills Whaley thinks the Bills can't afford it. I think Beane will think otherwise and will do what is best for Josh and the team.

Unless...you grab a targeted player earlier in the second where you have him valued and then use the additional pick to move further up in the third round.

Not to mention in that second matchup, Mac was 14/32 for 145 yds and 2 Ints. No TDs. Yeah...he went toe to toe with Allen.😄

This may be a realistic scenario. There are a number of QB needy teams drafting in the top 20. If most of those teams pass on one of the top QB prospects in favor of drafing one of the defensive studs, WRs or OTs, they will likely want to try to jump back into the bottom of the first round to grab their QB at a much better value. By the same token if this scenario occurs, if the Bills don't see the value at their pick (presuming they're targeting CB or WR) they would probably happily move down.

Good question. With this present regime and roster I believe that the Bills are capable of beating any team in the NFL, thus I expect them to win. Having said that, I also believe in "any given Sunday" and if the team doesn't play focused, they are capable of losing any game. I usually get a feel on the first drive. If Josh is "on" and the Bills score a TD on their first drive, I feel more confident. If the defense is stout and limits the opposition on its first drive, that confidence bolsters. In truth, I don't believe there are any pushover teams in the NFL. Every team has talent.

Totally agree. On that first drive, if Hyde doesn't come from center field to make the pick, Aghalor would have scored. Levi was beaten badly on that play.

This game will be on at 4 pm today (4/2) on the NFL Network. Let's hope no one retires so that the NFL pre-empts the game to talk ad nauseum about it.

I think the ball did hit Neal's foot. It certainly looked like it to me. I think it may have been Dodson that tripped him up. Anyone who knows for certain, correct me if I'm wrong.

I think that's a good bet, since they lost out on Von Miller.

They showed most of the first half cutting in once for the Arians news. They cut away again at the end of the half. I think they are now going back to the game.

I posted this yesterday to give folks a heads up. Josh is being featured as No 3 QB Index. Unfortunately they are preempting the game for coverage of Arians retirement. Seriously????

Nope...Mahomes was ranked number 7 behind Joe Burrow (6), Matthew Stafford (5), Justin Herbert (4), Josh Allen (3), Aaron Rodgers (2) and Tom Brady (1).

I just edited my original post having brain farted on DVR. Guess I just gave away my age.

They only show games where the featured QB wins in this series, so I was confident they wouldn't select the Bills/Chiefs playoff game. And yes...the beatdown of NE will be heaven to watch again.

The NFL Network has been featuring the QB's in order of their QB Index last week and this week. As Number 3, Josh Allen will be featured tomorrow 3/30 at 4 pm...Buffalo at KC from October, 2021 and then at 8 pm in a replay of the AFC Wild Card game versus the Patriots. Set your DVR/VCRs if you have them, or just enjoy!

That captured it, Gugny! McShay was trying to defend his lame ass take and Kiper would have none of it. That sealed Kiper's place in my heart.

I believe Rosen is still on the Atlanta Falcons.

I really believe this was the plan all along...to sign Bates to a long term deal, but let the market determine the dollar figure.
