  1. It's a pretty good bet that Trubisky and his wife had picked a wedding date well before he signed with the Bills (signed in March and wedding in July). Still, what are the odds that a QB2 and QB3 from the same team get married on the same day? I wonder if either thought about re-scheduling when they found out
  2. Says the guy that wanted to discount the first ~12 games of the regular season ? The season stats indicate the Bills defense was pretty mediocre, and I think that's exactly what they were. Cherry picking a smaller sample size at the end of the regular season against inferior offensive teams doesn't change that. I'm not buying that the DEF was better by the end of the year when they were awful vs the Colts and Chiefs in the playoffs.
  3. Are you one of those guys that ran a 13 second 100m dash in high school and thought they were going to make the Olympics because that's only a few seconds slower than the world record ?
  4. Stats I'd like to see for this 3 year span that would give this more context 1) Total games played 2) Total tackles made 3) Total tackles for loss or no gain 4) Total yardage lost on those tackles While I do agree with your premise that Tremaine Edmunds is dumped on unfairly by this board I don't think there's a single person that would argue he's the 2nd best OLB in the league. I don't know how many people would argue he's even in the top 10. The potential is there, but his actual play has been pretty average.
  5. I voted that he'll regress a little bit. The amazing thing is that even if he regresses he could still be a top 5 QB and MVP candidate. That's how good his 2020 season was. Josh's stats might take a dip if our run game and defense improve enough that we can easily win games without him throwing 40+ times.
  6. Don't know if that really matters when teams can seize properties via eminent domain for stadiums. They'd still need to pay "fair value" for the property, but it's safe to say it would be significantly cheaper than negotiating a private sale.
  7. At least he didn't pull a Nate Peterman special and throw 5 INTs in the first half of a regular season game. On a scale of 1 to 10 with 1 being absolutely nothing to worry about and 10 being a complete panic I'd rate this about a 2. Where's Allen Iverson when you need him? We talking about PRACTICE
  8. Not that I approved of Peters holdout, but in his defense, he signed that contract as a RT and the Bills moved him to LT soon after the signing. He was grossly underpaid for a star LT. Howard did not move positions and is still being fairly compensated for being a star CB.
  9. The 2nd year of a very lucrative deal that made him the highest paid CB in the league (at the time). It would be one thing if he signed a deal that he vastly outperformed, but that's not what's happening here at all. I'd be pissed if a Bills player did this
  10. Could you point me to one of those threads about Gilmore or Woods? I used the search function and didn't see anything The thread title only mentions Logan Thomas, but the post mentions Wyatt Teller as well. I figured it was fair game to bring up players other than Thomas when the OP did so himself. I was sticking with the theme of former Buffalo Bills players that this front office let go and were (more) successful elsewhere. Not sure why you're playing the forum police? My post was at least semi-relevant
  11. I find it funny in these hindsight posts that nobody brings up Gilmore and Woods. We let Gilmore walk for nothing and he's been all-pro multiple times with a defensive player of the year award.
  12. Deandre Hopkins turned 29 a few days ago. If Murray improves they will be a scary team for years to come. Biggest question to me has to be the 49ers. They just invested a ton of draft capital in Trey Lance and it'll probably be at least one season before he starts playing. Is he the next Josh Allen? Or will he be a bust? Not surprisingly 6 of the 7 teams on this list have early 1st round QBs on rookie contracts. It'll remain to be seen how these teams do once they give their QB a mega contract. Will the Ravens even give Jackson a contract? If he can't improve his throwing game a huge contract would be an albatross
  13. So much fun reading these with all the memories coming back to me. I can't believe I don't remember anything about the week 1 loss to the Patriots. I thought a last second FG to lose to the Patriots would've been seared into my memory. I remember every gory detail of the 2009 season opener against them Week 7 Dolphins game was bonkers If you go to 2:17 in the clip Mario completely destroys Tannehill. Dunno how Tannehill got up and finished the game
  14. Cowboys are probably 5 spots too high. Think the rest of the list is fine though
  15. Generally speaking I don't care if veteran players go to the voluntary OTA's or not. Specifically to Star, I will say that it would've been nice if the guy that opted out of the entire 2020 season showed up for voluntary workouts in 2021. Probably safe to say he has a lot of catching up to do. Star's contract was an overpayment from day 1. He hasn't been a terrible player, but I'm pretty happy we have an out on his contract after this season.
  16. Hard pass on trying to trade for Julio 1) We're already stacked at WR 2) He's older and has injury concerns 3) We don't have the cap space or draft capital (we could do cap gymnastics, but what happens when JA gets that new contract?) I just don't see the cost being worth it. Even if we're only talking a 3rd and a contract re-negotiation.
  17. I'm trying to think who Barnwell is referencing with that statement, but I honestly can't think of anyone. For the trade proposal we're giving away nothing of value, and getting Ertz at 3.5mm ? That would be a great trade
  18. Are we trending that way? Maybe, hopefully Let's revisit in 10 years if we have 9+ division titles and 3+ superbowls in that time frame you'd be right.
  19. The Singletary drop happened when we were leading 9-7 2nd & 7 at KC 49 (12:46 - 2nd) (Shotgun) J.Allen pass incomplete short right to D.Singletary. I think people like to point to that play as a "what if" moment. It looked like Singletary would've easily gotten 10+ yards on that play, and maybe with a 1st down near the red zone the Bills offense would've gotten into a rhythm, and the entire game would've looked different from that moment on. Truthfully we got dominated the entire game, and only had a 9-0 lead because we won the coin toss, Tyreek Hill dropped an easy 20+ yard gain on the Chiefs first drive, and the muffed punt that we recovered at the 3 yard line.
  20. It's ironic that the 5th year option for Josh is only 23 million while Tremaine is 13 million. 23 mil for Josh is about half of his fair market value, whereas the 13 mil for Tremaine is probably an overpayment.
  21. Did people even watch the Chiefs vs Browns playoff game? Chiefs were up 19-10 when Mahomes got injured midway through the 3rd Quarter. Mahomes did not miss much of the game. The Chiefs were not dominating even when Mahomes was in.
  22. 100% agree that the Chiefs are still the class of the AFC (and the entire NFL). 2nd tier in the AFC is probably Bills/Browns/Titans/Colts/Ravens (in no particular order). If Reich can have Wentz playing near his 2017 level the Colts will be terrifying
  23. Pros: Position of need High ceiling Cons: Bit of a reach (consensus seems to be late 1st to late 2nd rounder) Opting out of 2020 season. Will he be ready to make an impact in 2021? How is his work ethic? Feels like we could've traded down 10-15 picks and still very likely been able to pick him. Maybe Beane was trying and couldn't find a trade partner?
  24. Terrible fit for us We already have a really strong, and deep, WR corps. Adding a guy like Julio would produce diminishing returns (we can only throw the ball so many times in a game). That's not even accounting the draft capital we'd have to spend and the shenanigans we'd have to pull to be cap compliant.
