    Top 5 QB and Top 5 WR salary cannot coexist on a SB team

    Closest I’ve found is Stafford and Kupp.  
     

    But the Rams swapped out Goff for Stafford and had plenty in place.  
     

    I think the simple answer for those wondering what’s going on in the hunt for WRs like Higgins and Ayiuk are pipe dreams.  
     

    You cannot build a SB roster with top WR and top QB money.  You will be depleted in areas that actually matter in winning.  
     

    The trenches. 
     

    That’s the fan disconnect.  However, that’s why you’re right to want to get one on a rookie deal and why it’s so vital to hit on them in the draft.  
     

     

    But it appears this is a league wide approach to the cap.  Cousins is gone in Minnesota as they prepare to pay JJ.  Higgins and Aiyuk this is 100 percent the last year on their teams.  
     

    Don’t be shocked if this is Goff’s last year in Detroit.  
     

    Just looks like the Chiefs were ahead of the curve with Hill and we were 1 year too late with Diggs.  Unfortunately one of Coleman’s years has Diggs dead cap.  I don’t know how there are still Diggs apologists left.  
     

     

    well said... there are no 'dream teams" to be built with today's cap

    They just gave Beane and McDermott contract extensions last offseason. What people want to happen is different from the reality of the situation. These two aren’t going anywhere unless they majorly flop 

    Which they won't, unless JA goes down.  Even if JA goes down, Pegs isn't stupid enough to do a complete coach/GM, Offensive/Defensive scheme blow up and re-do.  That would set the team back years.   He has the right group.   Just go and make and be f-ing healthy for the playoffs.   They'll be fine.

    You give these guys way too much credit.  

     

    Like Billy Beane said in Money Ball " You don't know" 

     

    These scouts and GMs are more experienced than us. No doubt. But they are not infallible and who is to know if they are even good at their job. I have to be correct 100% of the time in my job. What is the success rate for these guys? 

     

    I mean how many first round absolute busts do we have to list to realize GMs just don't know.  The list of HOF QBs is far far less than the list of first round busts.

     

    Most on here were ok with Coleman. Some wanted another guy. What my guess is the vast majority of us wanted was another WR. Because at the end of the day these guys don't know. And two chances to be correct is far better than one chance. 

    kinda hard to go wrong with Josh throwing the ball.  Coleman hit the jackpot.   Marvin Harrison has a 5ft tall QB who won't be able to see him, Odunze has a raw rookie QB will no O Line who will be getting his head kicked in for the next couple years, and Nabers will have g-d knows who on the Giants throwing the ball (and also getting his head kicked in for a couple years) 

     

    It's all good.

    Beane: "This team is in transition"

    in The Stadium Wall

    bills are 57 - 23 in regular season since they playoff streak started in 2019.    They've won 7 out of 10 games for 5 years running.   that is amazing.   McBeanes have created a very successful program that has real legs.   

     

    Single elimination tournaments of the NFL sort are crap shoots where the healthiest team that is playing well almost always gets to the SB, the other playoff teams are one or two and done.   See Philly two years ago and KC last year; they both got healthy for the playoffs (Philly was the healthiest team in the league that year).   Bills have been pretty severely banged up in key spots come playoff time in recent years. 

     

    One of these years, they will be the playing-well+healthy team that goes all the way.   Trust what Beane is doing.   The 70% win percentage speaks for itself.

    Legit post if you're a glass half-full guy.  But Moss had a good year last year and while I'm not on fire over the Coleman pick, reaction from Chris Simms and others has me far more comfortable. 

    and Zack Moss without the severely broken ankle would prob still be on the roster.

    Would rather stay at 28 and take BPA.    Maybe trade back and get two picks in the second round instead of having none.   McBeanes need top 100 bodies in this and next years draft.   WR class is super deep, no need to reach for the LSU kid.   

     

    Defenses will be playing 2 deep zone to take the bomb away from Josh no matter who is the X.   So why reach in the draft for a guy who defenses will take away anyway??  

     

    Y'all need to look at more tape on Curtis Samuel.  I live in the DC area and that guy can play.    Guy ran a 4.3 sec 40 and can jump out of the gym.  Brian Thomas did not top those numbers.

    Jordan Phillips Signs with the G-Men

    I like Jordan Phillips.  Always rooted for the guy, and smiled when the Bills signed him.  He was one of the rare Bills players that looked like he was enjoying himself out on the field.

     

    That being said, he's good, sometimes even great, when rested and until he's injured in some way.  He's just not a player that can perform when banged up.   He'd probably be better if he strategically played every other game .  😀 

    Having known a couple pro athletes, they are driven by the competition, not the fun.  They play sports simply to win, and for money.  The better they play, the more they win and the more money they make.   So many pro athletes, when asked if they ever play their sport "for fun" the vast majority say, "No", it's a 9 to 5 job , 6+ days a week, just like everyone else.   Kind of took me by surprise.   

     

    So yeah, just root for the laundry.

    Traditional vs. 'Modern Day' X Receiver

    in The Stadium Wall

    Posted

    Modern NFL offenses are less rigid on roles than they once were.   Bills have TEs and RBs who can play the X, WRs who can run the ball, Slots who can X, etc.  Scheme it up and throw it to the guy with the mismatch, Josh.    All this X, Y and Z stuff is much less relevant in today's NFL.   With Josh's arm, give me guys who can separate and catch and I'm good.

    His contract is pretty brutal. We don't have much of a choice other than to hope he gets right. 

    Pretty sure he is working hard on fixing his slice.   He'll be out of the league instantly if he doesn't.   We'll know by opening day if he has or hasn't and McBeanes will not hesitate to bring in another guy if he keeps slicing it.   My sense is holders really matter, and Haack is one of the best, so we'll see.

    PSL Pricing/Seat Selection Discussion

    Not wondering, genius. Responding to @ProcessTruster re his concern that the stadium WILL be filled with resold tickets once PSLs are in effect.

     

    Probably difficult to understand what a poster is saying when you diarrah post responses to every comment made.

    I'm just reflecting what I've seen with my own eyes in other stadiums where the ticket prices are sky high on top of PSLs.  The whole vibe is different.   Home team fans looking sideways at 10s of thousands of opposition fans, it's weird.  All bc PSL owners are dumping half their tickets each season.   andthis will happen in the new stadium for sure.   For example, all you had to do was watch the Leafs/Sabres game yesterday.    Just llke that .  that is what it will be like.

    LOL, half the stadium is available for the Jets.

    Yeah it costs $400 for a crap ticket in Highmark.. I just go visit my daughter in NYC and pay $175 for a better seat in MetLife.   Half the stadium is Bills fans so its all good. 

     

    The meaning of a "home game" will be diminishing league-wide in the next 5 - 10 years.   Roaming retirees following their team wherever they go + crazy PSLs/season tkt prices have largely watered down "home games" in 7 or 8 places already (Vegas, LA, NYC, DC, AZ, a few others). 

     

    The only thing helping WNY is its not a travel destination so much plus it's freezing f ing cold for half the games.
