Locked On Bills goes over next year's cap situation in the latest episode. Doing the easy, obvious restructures and moves gets the Bills to 20+ million in cap space. They can easily get more than that with other moves, including extensions and cuts.
The Bills are fine. Beane knows what he is doing.

I was going to say... after watching that and coming here to read this it seems a bit overblown. Obviously things can always be pushed so you can function, but this moreso seems like a team that knows what its doing and has it self set up just fine.

They are bringing him up slowly on a snap count because of his acl tear. He makes way too much to sit.
Did you read the title of the thread you're posting in?!?!?!

Phillips’ passion and energy was great when he performed. Now, he’s just a liability
I call him the Dion Dawkins of the Defense lol. Dion is obviously much better - but the point is if there is a dumb penalty to commit.... they both find a way

Stating the obvious this guy has regressed in 2023. Is Bass washed?
Im guessing you just know the name Norwood, or arent really a long time fan? Is this bc bass missed wide right?
Norwood was an excellent clutch Pro Bowl kicker. I know this bc i own his probowl jersey...but thats besides the point. The point is, the Bills dont make their 1st 2 SB w/out scotty. For the time, he was as good as one could hope their kicker could be. Not unlike Bass for that matter. Please use better analogies where you understand the material you are sourcing

Rich Eisen is not far behind Collinsworth as once of the worst announcers in the game. He is such a Pats homer. Is he from the Boston area?
No, hes a huge Jets fan

I’m no fashionista but the latest crop of official NFL Bills gear is by far the worst I’ve seen in a while. Not just the ungodly hats with sectioned off NFL logo for no reason, but the off color shirts that look like they were put in the laundry with bleach on accident. But if i’m way off and you’re into that, it’s a pre black friday sale going on at the Bflostore
Update: these terrible hats aren't on the store upon further review
Internally at new era they have been picked on mercilessly. They were going for a 90s throwback, but instead theyve come off like the laziest caps ever designed. Fwiw, there have been many complaints and much criticism. I cant imagine the ball is dropped this bad 2 years in a row bc the NFL didnt love it either...

More to life and football then a feel good story. Glad he’s ok but if he can’t play why waste a roster spot?
This post doubles as both silly and an insight to the posters football acumen. Respectfully, I feel like if this was a genuine question, people would have been much more likely to provide a genuine answer if it wasnt tinged as a slight at the front office.

Interesting is Davis is out and Izzy is up. Forced to see what the low end looks like, which might be good w pay in relation to Harty

Not sure how accurate the reports are but there's been some that say McDermott took over play calling during 13 seconds.
Edit. Just did a quick Google search and this was first thing that came up
ya, there were numerous people pouring water on this almost as soon as it came out

There are definitely some people that will just complain about the outcome no matter what and aren't consistent in their complaints. Not me. I have been leaning more conservative on issues like this for years now. I swear I have seen many more cases of a coach losing a game being overly aggressive in recent years than I have seeing the opposite. We almost lost this game because we were needlessly aggressive. Frankly we got lucky to pull out a win at the end.
And I get it - I do.
I guess I just look at it more in the sense of punting gives the refs an oppertunity to control your fate.
Conversley, the boot and kick offered 2 chances for us to control our own fate - both of which the odds were better than not it was successful.
The fact S hit the fan and neither things were successful were longer odds than the Giants actually winning.
I guess my biggest argument is whether warranted or not, that extra 20 yrds you gain on a punt could be negated in 3 sec with a DPI.
Thats what put them at the 1 and it could have happened from anywhere. that 20 yrds cld also be eaten up in 1 of these 'prevent' D plays we run.
We had QUALITY chances to ice it ourselves and didnt. If it wasnt quality, I'm with you. but even if each oppertunity had a 51% chance- I'd wanna take it. Bc if you stack both those, odds are we get it done ourselves. As with many other things that evening, it didnt go our way and now we are having this conversation

Again?! Man.. when he did it sunday night and we all discussed it I was impressed. 2 days later and a second time makes me think he might have anger issues!!!

Why is aggressive inherently good? What ever happened to context? We're facing the worst offense in football. They've scored 1 offensive TD in the previous 11 quarters of game time. They have a backup QB, a gimpy RB, and missing several OL including their stud LT. We can pin them back inside the 20 with zero timeouts and 1 minute to drive for a TD, or we can risk giving them the ball at midfield with 1 timeout. Why in that scenario is aggressive the right mindset?
While what you say makes complete sense and I often agree with your posts, in this instance I was speaking in generalities and specifics. That is to say, often a criticism of McD is he should have gone for it, or as they were saying on the radio this am (whether you like the am show isnt the point- its Bills football talk) how McD had been on the right side of being agressive as it pertains to what analytics say when compared to the best decision towards win %, but they have been waning. So often we will see people come on here and whine about they should be more agressive. The same as when they dont run people complain they should have a run game and when they do - they should be passing more. Now, as that pertains to this situation, if you want them to be aggressive (which I do because Id much rather he coach with that style more than less), the chances are very high that your elite QB will hit an easy throw on an excellent designed play OR your kicker who entered the game 9/9 on the year will hit a FG in his range are excellent. The first didnt happen and then the odds were defied as neither did the 2nd. Id much rather take those swings and end the game on our terms than leave stuff up to chance. A little more food for thought... there is a high probability that the Giants go fishing for a DPI penalty. The 20ish yard difference then becomes a moot point bc itll just be lost in the penalty. Thats actually what happened anyway and Im not sure how much 20 yrds wlda helped. We went right into the 'keep the ball infront of you' as we would have done had they been further back and there was plenty of time. You take a chance the refs decide it, your D blows it etc. We had that game in front of us to win on our terms and statistically, both of those shots we took were high % shots. We just happened to come up empty each time. I feel like most of the time in the league there is a 50/50 chance for someone to win a game, its the O that comes out over the D. Just in the same way Id want the ball down 2 pts with 60 sec left than up 2 and have to go on D. As to your Allen isnt accurate on the run... I disagree. Watch him throw that ball. He 110% pussyfooted it. He just kinda laid it in to ensure it wasnt incomplete and in doing so got away from how he usually throws and let up too much. Knox still had it, did the tought part, and then somehow lost it on the way back up. In the end I suspect you will disagree because you prefer them not being agressive. Thats totally cool as I know you wont flip flip as in my aforementioned example. Its ok to disagree in this sense bc i think its based in fundamentals

Hopefully this puts to bed (like the BB/BF text chat should have) the talk of Daboll coming back here if and when he gets canned to take back his old job. Besides the fact people wanted to fire him the same people do KD now, that relationship seemed unattainable and destined for a breakup regardless. Heck, they prob thgt it was happening the year prior

Surely you could have found one of the 10x other threads this wld have fit in, no?

Haven’t seen anybody talk about the punting in this game. Were Martin’s punts into the wind and/or did he have any short field punts? He averaged only 42.3 yards for 3 punts while the Giants guy averaged 50.5 for 4 punts. Time to call the Punt God? 🤔😂
You shouldn't be disliking posts when this is what you are worried about... just saying...

The decision to kick a 53 FG when already up 4+ points knowing your kicker has been shaky and shanked another 53 yarder earlier in the game.
Missing the kick would put the Giants in good field position w/ a time out to work with and ample time to dink & dunk their way down to the red zone.If McDermott would’ve punted, it would’ve placed the Giants around the 10 (who haven’t scored a TD in multiple games) and made them drive 90 yards! This decision would’ve eliminated all those Trent Edwards check downs and forced Tyrod to make multiple big plays. I’m sure the analytics would back this up all day.
I know it’s irrelevant now, but the Bills are darn lucky to have escaped this game w/ a win.
Dont be that guy. Had this have worked, no one ever wld have questioned it. You either want your team to be agressive or you dont. The bad look is complaining abt it after the fact. Id hope 80% of coaches make that call. I'm also happy ours is in the majority of that 80%

This extreme criticism of an OC when you’ve got guys dropping multiple critical wide open passes on third down every week and your offensive line can’t pass block to save their lives is still a little wild to me. Like I can’t fully wrap my head around it. Running under center was getting decent yardage but you’re always one stuffed run away from being behind the chains which also happened multiple times this game.
every play caller in the league struggles in those conditions
Football has all types of 'fans' and for whatever reason, that type likes to come here and wear their keyboards out after anything less than an amazing game. To each their own, but at the detriment to the people with a clue.

Ok, multiple people disagree with me including yourself. Tell me something, is everyone chalking up Josh's first half dismal performance up to Dorsey's playcalling? Keep in mind, he wasn't good in the first half against the Jags either. And tonight, he was the same against a worse team in the Giants. Dorsey may have some of the blame, but I'm not gonna pretend it's all Dorsey. All I know is since the Dolphins blowout, he hasn't been as lights out
No, but it didnt need to be that bad. If there was a bad break to be had - we had it. Part of the issue was I didnt even understand what it is you were saying, but its just so easy to blame the QB or OC. There may be problems here, but we dont win a qtr of the games we do without josh - who is only to blame for making so many people jaded.
I hope that Beane stops listening to McDermott when drafting

We dont know the name of the ST coach... but we want him fired? I feel like as a fan, if you are going to publicly admonish someone, you should at least know the guys name if you want your thoughts to be taken seriously. Its like when someone calls 550 to complain and then calls the player by the wrong name. Just an odd look
