Blank Stare

Just couldn’t help himself. Had to stick it to us one more time. Douche. (And yes, I know it’s meant to be a fun ribbing. But it was anything but fun to those of us who lived it).

All fair points in your reply. My contention is that we’d be playing with the lead quite often with a guy like Josh, allowing us to get the most out of him. I am too. I think Hairston is going to be a player. I’m also really high on the two DTs based on what they showed in preseason. Imagine if Deone Walker is consistently anywhere near the problem he was for offensive lines in preseason. 🤤

I realize it’s a bit cavalier, but it’s not my money. Figure it out (Beane). Tired of a middling d-line. As of today, I’d give up anyone on this team not named Josh Allen for an elite pass rusher. RE: the Bruce Smith and Reggie White comparisons, we obviously have the benefit of hindsight and those guys are hall of famers, so it’s a bit unfair to compare two of the best ever to a guy a few years into his career. That said, what if I told you Parsons is only 26 years old, played only 4 seasons, and already has over 1/4 (52.5) of Bruce Smith’s career NFL record 200 sacks (accumulated over 19 years)? Bruce Smith is my favorite Bill of all time, and Parsons has a long way to go to sniff that record, but he’s on his way to a hall of fame career if he stays healthy, and a guy you absolutely take a swing at if given the opportunity.

Greg Tompsett from Cover 1 showed how we could’ve made it work with our cap. Yeah, it would’ve been steep, but worth the swing for me. We already have the franchise QB. He needs help and the defense typically wilts in the biggest games, failing to get home. Parsons would’ve solved that for us and then some. For years we’ve lacked a legit answer to our pass rush. Sick of watching Mahomes prance around untouched or unfazed in the biggest games.

Yep. Would’ve done that deal all day!

Come on man!

Plus they could’ve traded him out of the NFC which should've given the Bills an edge all things equal. I get it’s late in the game and taking him on cap wise would’ve been difficult, but they know pass rush has been their biggest need for years, so you have to make something like this happen when a young multiple time all pro comes available. Bummer.

Should’ve pulled the trigger Beane!

Would be the second best player on the team immediately off the bus, and the one thing we’ve lacked all of the McD era (with exception to Von’s start here — but even that isn’t Parsons). You make this work if even remotely possibly to pry him free.

Whatever. It. Takes.

Love them!

If these are it…I’m in!

No Hamler on the PS is a tad surprising. Guess it takes two to tango.

Good for him! He earned it.

Absolutely horrible 2nd round pick. Beane’s misses in the first 2 rounds over the years are the difference between continually falling short (to the Chiefs every year 🤬) and getting over the hump. Shows you how good Josh is to have overcome this level of incompetence at the top of the draft to even give us a chance year over year. And I say all this liking Beane as the GM. But sometimes you’ve got to call a spade a spade. Hasn’t been good enough.
