  1. Even with the cap going up next year the Bills are only projected to have $9.5 million in cap space in 2022.  I think the development of McKenzie and Harrison Phillips have put Beasley's and Star's roster spot in jeopardy.  Releasing Beasley and Star this offseason will free up over $10 million in cap space, more than doubling what the Bills are projected to have right now.

     

    If you look at the Bills cap space / roster next year there isn't a whole lot of fat to trim.  Outside of restructuring deals to make space, I think releasing Beasley and Star are the two places where some real savings can be had.   Beane having $20 million in his pocket to spend next year should give him a lot of flexibility.

    Mckenzie in - Beasley out

    2022 Beasley  

    Salary-  $7.6 million

    Dead Cap Hit-  $1.5 million

     

    The way McKenzie stepped up in the Miami game last year and then again this week, I don't think we lose that much letting Beasley go.  If McKenzie can produce again next week versus the Falcons, I think it will be a done deal.  Beasley is going to get paid by someone, and deservedly so, but we have a servicable, inexpensive replacement already on the roster.  More importantly, we have a QB who elevates the play of any WR on the field.  I'm a huge Beasley fan, the guy is a helluva football player, but I think he ends up being traded or released to free up money.   

     

    Phillips in - Star out

    2022 Star

    Salary-  $9.35 million

    Dead Cap Hit-  $5.2 million

     

    Horrible Harry is coming on strong, and honestly, I think Star just looks like he's finished to me.  I'm not sure what his personal issues were this week, and I wish him the best, but I think Harrison Phillips can take his spot and Ankou has flashed a bit as well.  The Bills can try to find a cheaper run stuffing big guy out there in the draft or free agency.  This is another move I'd be shocked if it doesn't happen.

  2. https://www.espn.com/nfl/boxscore/_/gameId/401326438

     

    Tua

    21/39 passing

    53% completion

    205 yards

    5.3   yard average

    0 passing TDs

    1 INT

    4 rushes  10 yards

    1 rush TD

    Tua QBR;  68

     

    Josh

    29/42 passing

    69%  completion 

    249 yards

    5.9 yard average

    2 passing TDs

    0 INT

    8 rushes   55 yards

    1 rush TD

    Josh QBR;  45

     

    Can someone please explain to me how Josh beats Tua in every statistical category and finishes with a lower QBR?  QBR is worthless.

  3. Yet another game where Josh leads his team in rushing AND scores a rushing TD AND throws 2 TDs AND has no turnovers AND picks up crucial 1st downs with his feet.

     

    There is no other QB in the league who is asked to do as much as Josh is every week.

     

    That's the definition of an MVP.

    "Yeah, I get paid millions of dollars for playing a game, but every time I try to leave the house people want to approach me and tell me they love me and how awesome I am. It gets rough."

     

    You know the point I'm trying to make here.  Give them their space.  It's the decent thing to do.

  5. I've seen two interviews now where Josh has stated that the thing he laments the most is the loss of his privacy when he goes out around town.  I know we are a celebrity driven culture, and compounding the issue for Josh is that he seems so down to earth that I think people feel comfortable just walking up to him to say hello and asking for a picture.

     

    It would be nice if we as a fan base could make and effort to give Josh and other Bills players some space and privacy if you do happen to see some of them out in town eating dinner or shopping or at a movie.  I think in the Kelly era, Bills players were able to move around and do things and still have their privacy and that is something that they always appreciated and cited as one of the reasons playing in Buffalo was so enjoyable for them.  It would be nice if we could get back to that place again.

     

    If you do see someone like Josh or Knox or Diggs out, try to give them some space.  Let's try to repay their dedication to our city with some personal space.  When you talk to other Bills fans bring this up and maybe we can make a small difference for the guys who play hard for us every week.  This board reaches all across Bill's Mafia, maybe we can start something here that will contribute to our players enjoying their time in Buffalo more and give them another reason to want to stay here.

  6. The Titans talked a lot of smack after they won and then rubbed salt in the wounds by trying to play the victim card over the game being delayed repeatedly when it was the Titans organization violating every single COVID protocol causing the chaos.
     

    The game was on again, off again, on again, off again.  You’re playing the Titans, you’re playing the Chiefs, you’re playing the Titans.  You’re playing Sunday, no Monday, no Tuesday?  It all ended up with a Tuesday 5pm start that disadvantaged the Bills vs the Titans AND the Chiefs last year.  The Bills got screwed and the Titans received no punishment.
     

    It was a crap move by the NFL.  
     

    And then the Titans laughed about it.

     

    I guarantee the Bills are looking to settle a score here.

  7. There is no argument that the Bills needed to beat the Chiefs this season to prove to themselves that they deserve to be at the top of the AFC going forward.  It was a coming of age type of victory for this team.

     

    I think this game coming up against the Titans is different though.  I think the Bills just want to crush the Titans because they don't like them.  I have no fear of a "let down" performance from the BIlls following their big win against the Chiefs because on some level, they want to beat the Titans even more than they wanted to beat the Chiefs.

     

    Last season's loss to the TItans was harder to take than the loss to the Chiefs was, and I think the Bills have been looking forward to getting some payback ever since the schedule came out.  I think the Bills are going to destroy the Titans on MNF.  McDermott knows what this game means to his players after last year.  This game is going to be a blow out and the Bills won't take their foot off the gas until the final whistle sounds.

    Love it, but I think it needs to be something that isn't so specific to one player.

     

    I was thinking more of a blizzard "white out" and the tre white thing was an extra.

    It would be cool to see 60K white towels wiping around Highmark on third downs.

  9. We went to the game two years ago and the largest concentration of Bills fans were in the stands on the "visitors" side of the field.  Me and my family sat on the "home" side of the field but there were still plenty of Bills fans there as well.  Nashville is a really friendly town  and the entire stadium is safe for opposing team visitors.  We saw no issues two years ago and Bills Mafia took over the entire down town that weekend.  Nashville is a fantastic city to hit an away game.

     

    Love Nashville.

  10. Levi Wallace is the quintessential starting player on a Super Bowl winning team that another team that is rebuilding and flush with cap space will over pay to sign.  (I hope we are dealing with that issue next year)  He is a solid CB2 and works great in Frazier's system.  I hope we can keep him but you can never blame a guy for signing a big money contract and setting up himself and family for life.
