with two 2's, I can see Beane moving up in this years draft.

yep... go get Burden; I could see big baller Beane doing this for sure. Burden is fabulous.

wow, well the cap math is the same, but the cap savings will be less then. home town discount? ha

Yes you can bet Beane will do this. If I have my capology correct, if, say, they tore up the current deal and he signed (to keep the numbers simple) a 5 year, $200m deal , that's 40m per year. So, if the first years 40 is simply paid in one shot on day 1, that 40m is divided by 5 = $8m spread out per year against cap So his cap hits over the 5 years are as follows: $8m, $48m, $48m, $48m, $48m Lets say his cap hit next season if they do nothing is $35m (I don't have Sportrac in front of me), then the team created $35m minus $8m or $28m of cap space for 2025

to answer the OP, basicially: KC is loaded, starting with HOF QB, OC/HC and DC. They are the 2000-2015 Pats reincarnated. Really. The Bills, tho are NOT the 2005-2015 Bills reincarnated, and thats what makes this much more interesting. Not sure there's anyone out there to rival Reid/Spags, so that's a problem, but based on results today's Bills are close. Go Bills.

exactly, leave this board for awhile. Playing golf on Wednesday. that will help. opening day! flamethrowing on this board will go on for awhile. I've said my calm, calculated positive piece, no effect, so.. Onward.

slot guy... already got one of those

Pretty sure Beane will be active in FA this year. His hands were tied last off season due to Diggs, Miller, White ,etc cap hits, but these largely disappear in 2025. Go Bills.

we nearly went to the SB in what everyone poster here said 5 mos ago was. a complete "roster reset" , "wild card maybe" year ; geez . give me a break . sure, lets tear it all down. what a bunch on this board

pretty much. HOF coaches doing HOF coach things against first time coordinators. Both lines got bullied in spots for sure. Josh was off. Any they still almost pulled it off ! go bills

I think Josh kind of crapped the bed in several spots last night. Wasn't throwing it very well in spots. HOF coach Spags outcoached first time OC Brady for sure, which I would expect, but Josh had trouble compensating on the field as well.

Frankly, while HOF coaches Spags and Reid brought the pain for sure, JA17 wasn't very good last night. Let's spread the criticism around to all the appropriate parties. Spags took the scramble away, and for whatever reason Josh simply wasn't his usual surgical self from the pocket last night. And the big bad O Line got handled in crunch time. They got worked by the higher talent, higher energy, HOF coached team last night. And they still almost pulled it off at the end. Go Bills.

can they move our game up>. this one looks bad

Man I am already stress eating. So when does our game start? 6:30?

uh oh, turnovers decide these things

I like the uni's . of course I live here and see the colors all the time

yeah but they won't be able to stop us either josh > squon

that didnt take long....

true, maybe I'll wander over there as well, 15 min away. good spot. nuts, really. Jimmy and I grew up pretty close to each other... not sure the wife wants that madness tho, may need to wait on that one for the SB

Sterling, Virginia (outside of DC), might go up to the corner bar w/my son and cheer on the Redskins with locals for few hours though (they deserve some love after years of Dan Snyder) trying to avoid the nasty Iggles fans then maybe (or maybe not) come home for the Bills game, depending on bar vibe

I just think single elimination tournaments are such a crapshoot that to win one you need to keep going back year after year until the breaks/refs/turnover margins go your way for 3-4 games in a row and you get through it. H-ll, only half the teams in the leagues managed 4+ game winning streaks during the regular season when many games were against crap competition or at home or both. IMO the way to keep going back over and over again year after year is to have guys like Beane and McD stick to the process of roster and culture building that they have. go get the Allens, and the Hollins's of the world and build it. The only two exceptions to this rule in the past 30 years are maybe the Pats and now the Chiefs. And the Chiefs and Pats have "only" less than a 30% successs rate; got bounced from the tournament 2 out 3 tries. And they were loaded with HOF QBs and HCs. So much has to go right that I lean more on the program building side than the Rams "lets go buy a title" method from a few years back as they have been pretty much toast before and after that one tournament run. I want to keep getting back into the tournament with a legit shot to win it year after year. McBeanes IMO have ensured that with how they run the place. Trust the Process. By the law of averages, if nothing else, the trophies should come.
