    This goes both ways. People who haven't put in the work, think they know more about scouting than Beane and the pros. And criticize Beane's every pick, like their own "selection" was an all-pro in waiting.

    Don't dare try to tell me I haven't put in the work on this draft class.  I did not 1 but 2 mock drafts online last week and picked guys I'd never heard of because their name sounded cool.

     

    I know my sh1t.

    Did the details for Collins contract ever get released? I know it was up to $6M, which is certainly not backup money. 

     

    The Bills have signed veteran offensive lineman La'el Collins to a one-year deal with a cap hit of $1,580,000.

    We now have more details about those contract terms thanks to Over The Cap. https://overthecap.com/player/lael-collins/4105

     

    This is simply a one year deal for $1.58 mllion, with $1.21 million guaranteed and a $290,000 signing bonus. There are up to $5M in incentives that will only apply to the 2025 salary cap (not the 2024 cap) if Collins achieves specific starts, snap counts & games played milestones.

  3. This makes a nice change from the usual dynamic on this show that I see, which is Florio talking for a few minutes making a point, then Simms opening with "you're absolutely right Mike, you said it perfectly..." then clumsily regurgitating Florio's arguement.  I can barely watch that show due to that constantly happening.

     

    Good to see Simms have an opposing arguement for a change and be passionate about defending it.

  4. I agree to an extent and like the positivity, but find it hard to agree on the D Line and safety positions, we need a pass rush threat at DE (to replace Floyd) and a bit more at safety before I could say we've actually improved there.

  5. The explanation could be that reading this thread is Digg's favourite off-season pastime and it's more entertaining for him if he fuels it every now and again.

     

    I don't read into it all too much, but it is tiresome... Best to ignore the dude I think and hope he shows up in the summer with the right mindset and without any drama.

    Glad he is back and him and AJ getting Re-signed makes perfect sense.

     

    at the same time I don't really feel like the team is any better.  McDermott and his defense just cant beat KC.  I don't know how they expect anything to change this year.  Seems they have to outscore them and to do that they are going to have to make sure they add playmakers to the offense and so far they have started the offseason by weakening and disrupting the offensive line.  

     

    I am glad jones and aj are back though, they seem to play well when healthy in the regular season.

    Hopefully we'll get the chance to see what a D with a fully fit DQ, along with Milano, Bernard, Benford a fit Douglas, a better Von and 1 or 2 new younger guys at the safety position can do against KC in the playoffs.  I don't normally like pointing to injuries as an excuse but the D against KC in the divisional round was absolutely ravaged.

    Didn't we cover this in the Penix thread? 🤔

    Did we? I didn't see it.

     

    I must have pulled out early!

  8. This is the first season that my eldest son (15) has really got interested in the NFL and sat down with me to watch games. I didn't force the Bills on him (just used suttle mind control 😄), and let him make his own mind up on which team to follow.  Thankfully he is all in on the Bills and we have really enjoyed the ups and downs of this season together... I  stupidly thought that this father son bonding is what the football gods had been waiting for all along before allowing the Bills to win it all. Obviously not the case!

     

    Anyway, the point I wanted to make was that at low points this season, including Sunday night, I was conscious that I didn't want to (at least outwardly) show too much negative emotion (I can take Bills losses hard sometimes 😞 ) in front of my son... Not that I mind him seeing me like that on occasion, but to try and 'train' a more healthier response to sporting defeat for him and to try and help him enjoy the sport rather than let it competely dictate your mood.  Worth a go anyway... Over time he'll likely end up the same as me.

  9. As much as I enjoy this message board immensely, I very rarely post or even view a GDT. When a game is on I barely even look at my phone or engage in discussion with friends who also follow the NFL.  I'm too focussed on the game, biting nails, pacing the room etc for anything else!

    Current status of the stands at Highmark: full of snow

     

    More snow forecast:  anywhere from 16 to 27 more inches

     

    Are they going to be able to clear the stadium again? That's a lot of freak'in snow. I don't know where they'll put it.

     

    I think Einstein has this all in hand already. We can relax!

     

    Kudos again Einstein for your kind act today btw.

    I wouldn’t say it favors them, because we can run our QB.. but it probably makes it a coin flip game if passing is almost taken out of the equation. 
     

    Not sure Cook is an ideal RB for this game, but we shall see.  I hope he makes me eat crow because ever since Dallas, I haven’t been impressed with him at all. 

    I agree on the conditions not suiting Cook, Ty Johnson passing the concussion protocol is great news for Sunday though... Hopefully him and Fournette can have an impact on the ground in this one.

     

    Plus as someone mentioned above, the Bills D normally holds Harris to low yardage... Let's hope that continues on Sunday.

     

    Regarding Douglas, I'd be wary of playing him on Sunday, he hasn't practiced all week so there's obvious a fairly significant knee injury there.  A slippy field won't help that and do we really need him against the Steelers passing offence?  Dane Jackson is fairly good against the run if I'm not mistaken.  Let's rest Rasul for when we need him against better passing threats.

    I always want home field advantage, but why does our weather always do this to us for a game? It's been so mild so far, so of course it might be a slopfest for the game. I don't normally like resorting to this, but we might need to run Josh all game. Hopefully Cook and Lenny can get something going. Ugh.

     

    I may be wrong, but wasn't the weather similar (to what is forecasted) for the Wild Card Patriots game 2 years ago?

     

    Bills won 47-17 and Allen went 21-of-25 for 308 passing yards and five touchdown passes.
