He's been below average the last 2 seasons: Year FG % Ranking PAT 2020 82.4 18th 96.6 2021 87.5 13th 100 2022 87.1 12th 96 2023 82.8 24th 98 2024 82.8 21st 92.2 For rankings i'm only counting kickers with 10+ starts in that season. And he's been awful in the postseason with 78.3% FG and 91.7% PAT. Unfortunately we gave him a pretty large contract (for a kicker) after his 3rd season, only for him to regress badly in years 4 and 5. I thought he had kicked his way out of the yips with that 61 yarder vs Dolphins last year, but his pre-season performance has me worried.

I think we need to pump the brakes a little bit on that play. Getting a sack to "hold" the other team to a lead-taking long FG drive with a few minutes left in the game is NOT an all-time play. An all-time clutch play would've been forcing a turnover for a TD (like Taron Johnson). Or even just a sack to force a punt. Milano had a more important sack earlier in that game that knocked KC out of FG range and forced a punt

He's a punter not a mathematician! Seriously though whoever made that graphic should be fired

McD has had incredible regular season success with this approach, but I wonder if he SHOULD throw a chair through a window for playoff games.

No idea how Stafford made it into the top tier. There's a pretty large gap after Allen/Mahomes/Jackson/Burrow. Whatever order you want to put those guys in, they are a clear cut above the rest of the league.

It's crazy to me that people on here are giving McD so much credit for Josh progressing. McD is a head coach that thought Nathan Peterman was an NFL caliber starting QB. Multiple times. He was comfortable going into the 2018 season with a QB depth chart of: 1) Peterman 2) Allen And we're acting like McD is some kind of QB whisperer? I'd go so far to say that Allen's success was despite McD, not because of him.

My favorite stat from that game is that the Chiefs only converted one 3rd down. 99% of the time that would mean a dominant defensive game, but in our case it meant our DEF was so incredibly bad we couldn't even force 3rd downs.

I'd rather trade him for a 3rd now than have him sit out the season or overpay him to the tune of 15mil per year. The biggest RB trade in the past few years was McCaffrey going to the 49ers. They acquired him mid season, with multiple years left on his contract, for a 2nd, 3rd, 4th, and 5th. Obviously the ranking goes CMC>Cook>Swift. With Cook holding out and his contract situation I think a trade would net us something closer to the Swift trade than the CMC trade.

Cook is clearly a tier above Swift. Swift was the only RB trade I could find the past couple years that's even remotely comparable. Cook would go for more in a trade, but how much more? I think with the holdout a 3rd rd pick is reasonable. Maybe a 2nd if we're lucky

He wasn't looking for a massive contract, but D'Andre Swift is a decent comparison. In 2023 he was entering the 4th year on his rookie contract and the Lions traded him to the Eagles for a 4th round pick. I think we could maybe trade Cook for a 3rd

Our DEF already has too many guys that are great at stat-padding against bad teams in the regular season and disappear against good ones in the playoffs. That's exactly the type of player Parsons is. Why would we give up significant assets and blow a hole in our salary cap to go after a guy like that?

You forgot the Colts game! We were the first team in NFL history to win a game while allowing 450+ yards with 0 forced turnovers.

Von Miller didn't have a big reaction after his ACL tear. He was kneeling on the field and walking around on the sideline before he was carted off

Benford is an interesting player, I think Bills fans tend to over-rate him and the rest of the NFL tends to under-rate him. ESPN put together a survey of NFL execs, coaches, and scouts to rank the top 10 CBs for the coming season. Benford did not make the top 10, and in fact, didn't receive even a single vote (29 players received votes). https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/45531014/top-10-nfl-cornerbacks-execs-scouts-2025-espn-jeremy-fowler-position-rankings I think he's an above average starter, but not really elite. I could see him in the top 20, but not a whole lot higher than that.

Yep, the only honorable mention to miss our Mt Rushmore is Wade Phillips.

I have a different interpretation on the snap counts. Von got to cherry pick his snaps and ONLY played on obvious passing downs. Coming in fresh with easy pass rushing opportunities he really should've produced more than he did.

He was great for 11 games before the injury. Can't really hate him for his production falling off a cliff after that. I can hate him for choking out his fiancee though

BUMP Here's a different ranking that has McD outside the top 10. https://www.cbssports.com/nfl/news/2025-nfl-head-coach-rankings-eagles-nick-sirianni-lions-dan-campbell-make-leaps-behind-chiefs-andy-reid/ He made the top tier, but was in last place of that tier at 12th overall. I think that's pretty fair

The tweet was incorrect when it said 'opt out'. Stewart hasn't signed a contract with the Bengals yet so there's nothing to opt out of. Eli Manning threatened something similar, but the Chargers traded him within minutes of drafting him. I don't think anyone has actually sat out a season to get re-drafted since the 80's. It's too much of a financial sacrifice to refuse to sign the contract, sit out an entire year, and hope to get re-drafted next year. 1) He would fall significantly in the draft. Rather than a 1st round pick rookie contract (~19 mil over 4 years) he's probably looking at more like a 4th round rookie contract (~5 mil over 4 years). 2) He wouldn't be able to sign a 2nd contract until 2030 instead of 2029 - missing a year of prime earnings. It's hard to imagine a player giving that up over language in a contract. He would have to really, really, really hate the Bengals.

I think most Bills fans would agree that the 2021 season was our best team and chance of winning the SB. From Barnwell's perspective I can see why he wouldn't want to include an 11-6 team that lost in the divisional round. I don't think it's a stretch to say we had the best 11 win team in NFL history (in 16/17 game regular seasons). +194 point differential. All 11 wins by 12+ points. 5 of the 6 losses by only 1 score. The best offensive playoff game in NFL history (not to mention it was against that seasons #2 overall defense coached by Bill Belichek). With even a little bit of luck in close games we would've had 14+ wins and made at least the AFCCG. Tre got hurt in the Thanksgiving game vs Saints. DEF was still pretty good after that with only 2 bad games out of the next 8 (OT loss to Bucs and of course 13 seconds).

Tyrod would be ineligible since he was the one that ended the draught. I think people on here are kinda sleeping on Drew Bledsoe. Guy had his weaknesses for sure, but if you put him on the all-draught team with a strong O-line throwing to those weapons he'd be great.

Jalen Hurts is probably the most chiseled QB in the league atm.

Immigrant Song is a banger and fitting for us as a land of ice and snow. As long as the Minnesota Vikings aren't using it we should go and claim it.

The Ravens have had 2 bye weeks. Since 2019 they've lost 1 championship game, 3 divisional, and 1 Wild card (Lamar DNP). Lamar was injured most of the year they missed the playoffs Bills have lost 2 championship game, 3 divisional, and 1 wild card in the same time frame.

Am I the only one confused about Beane calling it a "Title IX thing" ? Title IX is about gender equality in sports, I don't see why it would apply to allegations of sexual assault
