The NFL made a decision many years ago to protect WRs and QBs from getting mauled the way they had been mauled for decades. The NFL opened the doors to a passing league dominated by passing plays during a period when TV/Streaming contract prices accelerated upward. So the way to win is throwing the ball downfield, since the rules encourage it. So QBs and WRs are way more valuable than RBs, and the contracts today show that. The numbers are so massive due to the salary cap, which is driven by what networks/streamers will pay to show NFL games, has increased dramatically recently. Its all pretty simple. Load up on QBs and WRs , as they determine if you win or lose. And you have the salary cap to pay up for them. RBs are good to have, but not essential to winning and losing. Is what it is.

kind of a little guy... always a concern when they get to the NFL and get start getting beat up by grown men

kinda like Jax. all the fans care about is the Gators

lfg

all things considered, Goodell has been a big success.

good for them. well done.

wait until next year and see how much quieter it may be... that really worries me

agreed. but trading up to 22 or earlier to get him would have cost Beane a lot. in 20/20 hindsight, of course it may have been worth it. We'll see how Coleman does this year;

Lets see how he does this season. BTW, I know this is a "Beane sucks" OP, but the McConkey-led Chargers were pretty much hot garbage last season as well.

so I guess he will be retired or cut by year end?

yeah what a joke. pls Josh no.

i remember watching CFL games on TV long ago. Fun league

ah yes, fair enough, forgot about that really smart draft trade deal. so they could win a few this, help Stafanski keep his job (not a good idea IMO), and get a QB. I stand corrected.

they are quietly tanking for next years QB draft. IMHO. If they pay a bundle for Cousins or whoever, hell they'll be out 40mil , win a few and screw it all up. Drafting the franchise guy is what its all about in the NFL. Will the coaching staff all get fired in the process for losing 13 games? Yep. But thats the cost of doing business. An example of a team that is screwing it up is Cleveland; they are trying to win games. The Saints are playing it beautifully now that Carr is retiring. Tank and grab Archie Manning's grandson... what a story that will be.

exactly, why have seats anyway?

that would actually be an amazing result. if you are going to tank for a QB, this is the year to do it, with the strength of next years QB draft class. timing is everything

don't really care. we are set at WR. so, whatever. we are trying to get faster with guys who can seperate; Gabe can't do either

Bosa. Other than him, the D is no more productive than last year (which was very productive in turnovers, etc)

In Beane we trust. He pulls it off every year, next year will be no different. We'll be loaded. Go Bills

Nice here in the DMV that time of year. Spring has sprung by then. Big lift for DC, that many people coming in. Should be fun. In all honesty, we all know that the weather in WNY in mid April is mainly dreadful. To have a big open air event at that time would invite comparisons to the Blizzard of '77. Please don't. The Bills are finally lifting the areas rep , let's not trash it again with a rain soaked, 50 deg 3 day outdoor event. Just sayin

I am just going to continue enjoy the greatest ride in franchise history for as long as McBeanes can make it last. Simple as that. Go Bills. Or should I say, Keep Going Bills.

Flutie game against Jacksonville. What an electric, completely unexpected ending.

This board spends way too much time agonizing over the tournament. Eg. the win against the Chiefs last year was absolutely fabulous, one for the ages. All but forgotten now; all this board can reflect on is 13 seconds or "getting over the hump" or McD sucks.. etc. The Mafia are becoming just like the old Pats " call me when the playoffs start..." fans:

Elijah Moore's QB was Zach Wilson. nuf said. No one knows what he is capable of as yet. We shall see.

but the fans and media started it all by being complete babies using the non-existent WR "issue" to create content for themselves. so there...
