Can definitely upgrade the punter

Man, I was hoping they could get a 2042 7th round pick for him

Well then McD must be a real dic$ to criticize his play given all those obstacles...

He has been injured and has played poorly. He started last week and will be healthy to play in the 3rd game. Bernard was out. I dont know if he played a preseason snap.

Nice try but if you recall Bernard was injured and missed most of that preseason. Quite different than guys sucking. And the Bills D still played ok in preseason not anything like this years version. Not saying it means anything about the season just that is much different than the S problems this year.

Justin Simmons is just a call away

OT OG C OG OT WR QB WR WR TE RB

This. Last couple years - They are spending $24M ($8M per) on Samuel, threw $3.5M away on MVS and Claypool (after throwing $ away on Harty the year before), spending $10M per on Palmer, possibly throwing $2.5M away on Moore, with likely more $ to come on guys like Davis or whoever they sign. They draft only a 7th round throw away pick on WR this year. Last year they trade back and end up taking only 1 WR in one of the best WR drafts in a long time. Its been miss after miss after miss. Shakir is really the bright spot. Even going back further and looking at Kincaid was supposed to be.

Then they should have brought Hollins back and not signed Moore.

Gabe Davis is an enigma. Its the ability vs opportunity argument. Would player xyz have the same or better result if given the opportunities Davis was? What he did in Jac did nothing to help the case that it was his talent that led to success in Buf. He played 11 games last year and in 5 of them had 1 catch or less. The year before in Buf he had 7 such games. He is a guy that disappears. To me that is a reflection of him not bringing a ton to the table but in the right situations (as most NFL quality players would) will put up big numbers. Just some more stats: 74 careers games 24 games with 0-1 catches and 39 with only 2 or less 6 100 yd rec games; 22 50+ yd rec games; 26 games with 20 or less yards Catch rate of 50% or below in 36 games

I’ve read very few, if any, fire anybody over these preseason games. I have read player xyz sucks. To me that is fair. Winning and losing gets a pass in preseason. But a fringe player not doing well carries a lot of weight. And for what it is worth when McD was like 10-1 in preseason the word was always about the culture and preperation…,

Last year vs Bears in preseason 6-3 at half 13-6 going to 4th Chi had 340 yards to Bills 200 Yesterdays drubbing was on a whole new level.

Have the McD bills ever played a worse preseason game? Not sure it means anything…let’s hope not. Just awful. Like they don’t want to be out there.

Why do we have preseason games?

Huh. Confused by your rant. If the Bills traded cook many would be saying "he is replaceable" etc. The logic of this board for years has been the Bills dont need pay a RB. But because they do pay one anyone who questions it is trolling and has the worst take ever? If the Bills traded Cook and brought in Najee Harris or similar, how much do the super bowl odds change for the Bills? I am guessing not at all. I have nothing against Cook. I like the player and like him on the Bills. Much of what I said is he should be on the field more. I have no real problem with the money he got and only question could they have spent it elsewhere.

It's not about production. Its about the use. He did not get a single snap with the Bills down 3 points and over 3:30 to go in the AFC championship. His last touch was with 9 minutes in the game. Decisions like that make it odd you are willing to pay this type of contract. I am all for limiting snaps, but that should not be in the most important parts of the most important games. As I said, its not about Cook being good enough to deserve this type of contract its the value of the contract with his use. Because of how the Bills used he only had 1200 total yards last year. They are winning games because Allen is on the field 100% of the time not because of Cook's snaps. Yes he helps but replacing him cheaper would not drastically change the Bills ability to win.

Anything less than 6 games will be a joke

Biggest issue is less about Cook more about how he is used. Barkley is on the field 80% of snaps Williams 90% CMC 80-90% (when healthy) Kamara 70% Taylor 60-70% Jacobs 60-70% Henry is 60% Cook is under 50% and only had one game above 60% all season. In 2 of the 3 playoff games he was at 45%.

The Bishop pick is looking worse and worse. Especially when you look at some of the other DB's taken last year. Bullock and Kinchens both later picks as well.

Giants guy on sidelines looked like he faked that he was gonna help Palmer then jumped away last second. Shady.

Well the question is made an impact - which is not a super high bar... Robert Woods had a decent career Goodwin had a short good stint in SF Gilmore - multiple pro bowls Hughes - 9 sack season after leaving Darby - decent career Teller - all pro Philips - a number of solid years Z Jones - better after leaving L Thomas - became a solid TE Ray-Ray - created a niche for himself Singletary - solid RB Moss - Decent RB Morse - started all 17 games Feliciano - full time starter season after leaving Spain - full time start season after leaving Hodgins - Couldnt get on field to 7 td's in less than 2 seasons Edmunds - this will always be a debate Punt god - early but KC may have a long term punter

I was going to say this somewhere else. The dead money has been huge for the Bills. And its not just the big ones, but the multiple smaller ones from guys like MVS, Smoot, A Johnson, etc that add up to millions. KC has very few of that stuff.

Man the Chiefs do a good job of paying everyone somehow. With Mahomes and Kelce, they are still able to give big deals to Smith, Taylor, Jones, Humphrey and now Karlaftis. They have top 10 value contracts at QB, TE, T, G, C, DE, DT...a few of them top 3.

Beane is a wizard

Or Miller - possibly get in fight with your girlfriend, which you deny, no charges ever filed. Get suspended for 4 games by the league anyway.
