Ethan in Cleveland

If the Bills played more Big Nickel looks he would be perfect addition to the group of safeties they have now.

Before camp I was thinking 14 - 3, but the injuries have swapped some of my enthusiasm. Probably an overly emotional reaction but the injuries have made the defensive backfield a disaster in the making, and with questions at WR and PK its hard to stay so optimistic. I am going to say losses to Baltimore, Philadelphia, and KC all at home and then a weird loss at Atlanta. Lots of worry going into week 17 after a third home loss to the Eagles. But Allen puts on a show and they crush the Jets clinching home field. Division playoff game is a rematch with the Bengals and the AFC Championship is a McDermott career defining game against the Chargers. Win and he's coach for the foreseeable future. Lose at home to Harbaugh and they decide to part ways with McDermott. In short, 13-4 with 3 home losses which sucks for the fans but still gets them home field.

Get back to us in January

Better than the all red

My bad. I meant late in the first round picks which is what he is holding onto

Fair points.i would argue middle of the road gets you to the playoffs. Elite wins championships. Chiefs have had multiple elite pieces on offense and defense. We were close with Allen, Diggs, Miller, White, and Milano before the injuries.

Lol.. isn't it ironic to see this thread just above the Jordan Poyer thread. One team getting a generational pass rusher and another gifting $400K to a washed up safety.

Hopkins has not had great success. He's been up and down ever since he left Buffalo including last year. He just got beat out by a rookie. But he is an experienced veteran and Im surprised he is not being looked at

We can't stop the run now. We play with the lead a lot. Two number 1s for the second best pass rusher in the league. I make that deal in a heart beat. Two generational players in Allen and Parsons - one on offense and one on defense. Beane refuses to go all in, instead hoarding late round draft picks so he can waste them next year F!!!!!! On the other side, bad trade for Dallas.

I'm not a McDermott fan but you can see the theme for coach of the year. They are mostly reclamation project teams or teams that have not been even to a Championship game that are expected to compete.

Veteran salary for PS is $17,500 to $22,000 per week. So his salary is somewhere between $315-396K assuming 18 weeks.

Optimism: Allen will continue to evolve by distributing the ball and begin running less and less Cook, OL, and other backs will provide a consistent rushing attack Healthy Kincaid catches 80 balls Knox one of my favorites on the team makes 25 catches for 4 TDs and scores a TD in the SuperBowl Pessimism: Nah I'm not going there now. Bring on the Ravens!

I would have preferred adding a Kicker to the PS. If Bass' groin flares up then they could elevate someone for game day. With the ability to elevate players for game day the PS has a little more value than it did in the past.

I mean even the most staunch Beane and McDermott defenders on this board, can't support this right?

This! 90% of this board guessed the top 48-50 guys. 18 game schedule, 2 bye weeks, no preseason games!
