Because making those picks is low risk while trading picks AND paying a player is high risk, inures etc. if you’re going to pay a player like that it’s better to do so in free agency. we essentially CAN’T afford a huge contract player. We NEED drafted players to pan out/outplay their rookie contract

He’s a superstar, no doubt. If Allen was still on his rookie contract we could afford to invest the kind of capital in acquiring/retaining a player like him. If we did it now we’d end up with a net loss (imo) because it is a zero sum game. It would be one thing if it was just retaining a player like that, but to give precision draft capital to acquire him would be too risky. Our best hope is hitting on draft picks.

I’m only interested in winning not making ownership more money. I.e. paying a defensive end the money parsons demands would be low value for the bills in terms of impact on our W-L record. It might be worth it from ownership’s perspective in terms of jersey sales.

Peak edging

Probably not

I agree. The episode felt more like a marketing gimmick than some past seasons. Left me wondering if there was an effort to move away from following fringe roster players to stars. Felt a little hollow but maybe I’m too close 🤷‍♂️.

Bills aren’t going to be 100% at the start of the season (which we knew), are they going to be 100% at any point is the question that remains

It reads like a guy who doesn’t fit in with his teammates and this was the straw that broke the camel’s back. I don’t think the offense was what did it, just a good enough excuse.

If the offense or defense has a rough practice or preseason game you can say “offense (or defense) always starts slower”. They’re interchangeable.

There is something to be said for building anticipation. The best seasoning is hunger.

Starving for some baked chicken

I just want to thank you guys for what you do to your bodies. It’s still real to me.

Can’t imagine the impact listening to music that loud and ingesting narcotics has on your nervous system. The anxiety and depression the following day must be mind blowing.

I think he liked to party

I mean, it is the essence of football

It’s probably analogous to receiving or kicking off to start a game. It’s probably more important to have it be most beneficial regardless of where it falls. my preference would be the nfl having a two week period where half the teams have their bye one week with the other half having them the other. If there is a competitive advantage to when a team gets their bye this would eliminate it. I would also like to see every playoff team get a bye before the playoffs start. For this to work the amount of teams making the playoffs would have to change.

Swap the Pittsburgh and saints games would be one way to improve this but it’s pretty decent.

Look how athletic this athlete is!

So many inappropriate jokes come to mind…

We really got like 4, maybe even 5, first round picks. even though, before the draft, everyone said there were only 15 guys worth a first. After the draft (when it’s time to sell tickets) we somehow got 4 (maybe even 5) of them.

This is the year. (If nobody gets hurt)
