As much as I like Evans I think you are a bit dug in on this idea if you wouldn't prefer the GREAT Adams to the very good Mike Evans........and also think acquiring an impending free agent would be better for the budget than a guy like Adams who would have only about $20M in cap hits combined in 2023-2024. Mike Evans is probably looking for something like 4 years $80M+ on the open market.
This. I’d imagine the Raiders would want the bills to eat some money and trade a player plus pick back though… Considering McDaniel’s roots it’d likely be Knox in the ask for cap balance; maybe a D-lineman like Oliver though. 🤷♂️. Hard to tell how it would go.
Evans on the other hand would likely just be for picks, and as an add on for a 2nd-4th…. Worth it. We’ll see how things play out.

That’s brandy old fashioned. You can shower in PBR in front of the police without consequences

Packers for me. Different dynamic with Jones and Watson.

Bills 38
Phins 28
McDaniel gambles on a fourth down late in the game, and the Bills capitalize for the extra field goal.

Absolutely this. I've mentioned it yesterday in GDT.
Diggs is below average in YAC and it's on him. I am completely fine with it; just like you said, once he has the ball, he is protecting himself. I am pretty sure he could have had much more YAC if he changed his playstyle.
He definitely protects himself. In must win situations and the playoffs he tends to add back that extra effort.

Oh, it's not just putrid coaching. That would be too simple to account for the continual ineptitude of the Chargers over the last two decades. Back in the early 2000s, the Chargers were loaded with talent, thanks especially to the Eli Manning trade. They didn't have just a great QB in Philip Rivers, they had two, and the one they let walk away, Drew Brees, was even better. They could steamroll teams during the regular season but couldn't win playoff games despite having plenty of talent. For most of Rivers' career, the Chargers managed to lose key games with the same kind of blunders that they've made this season. They've been doing it for 20 years. The Chargers have changed players, coaches, GMs, cities, owners, stadiums -- and they still manage to "seize defeat from the jaws of victory". The Chargers just "Charger".
You can probably add another 10 years to that. They’ve been Chargering since the Bobby Ross era.

I can't do this anymore.... Either Bernard or Benford has to change their name. I'm not smart enough to figure this out in one season.
Doesn’t help that they both have numbers in the 40’s either.

That, my friend, was Edwards not Edmunds 😂
Edmunds under cut a slant and allowed Jones’ route to be a TD. It was talked about in the post game presser. Edmunds was manipulated to create space. They knew if he followed the drag they’d have Jones iso with Edwards or a free throw underneath, and if he dropped then they’d have an easy first down on the drag.

It needs to become habitual for Allen, because when he feels the pressure and isn't processing things, he does not see the short stuff. He needs to make it a habit so that if he feels that way, he automatically looks for the check down or short stuff. That is why you have check downs, so you can get the ball out quickly when you are in trouble or if everything is covered.
He needs to not bail from the pocket so much, too. He did it on almost every pass play.
It makes me wonder about the progression, reads, etc. It certainly seems as though the primary or secondary read a few years ago was often Beasley. The trust might not yet be there with Kincaid or any of the slot receivers, but it probably needs to develop quickly for this ship to turn around fast.
Agree on the bailing. We’ll see if that changes against less dominant defensive fronts. I don’t have a lot of faith in Dawkins or Brown to hold off Crosby this week though.

Playing on so many different teams probably helps with his marketability. The guys liked by a ton of fan bases in different markets.

Still chairing Aaron Jones, and Jones hasn’t been in since that TD catch. 😂

I don't think the "escrow" money is sewn into some mattress. It's in some sort of an account making money.
I’m sure it’s not, but we’re not privy to all the requirements. Regardless, the options and flexibility that Pegula or Kraft has available are vastly different than other owners like Brown and Davis who rely on the team for income. That capital flexibility is one reason the Bills can restructure players whenever it’s beneficial.

I mean I'd say 2 yards per play over the average in that game when he is out there is pretty defined. When he was out there in that game the Bills were better to the tune of 2 yards per play which in NFL terms is massive.
That is my definition. In those games against that particular opponent his impact is clear, defined, and measurable.
Doesn't mean he is irreplaceable. Doesn't mean he has that impact every week, he doesn't but there are certain opponents where the Bills want to get that opponent to stay in base defense and want to force them to play 3 linebackers where Reggie Gilliam's versatility and skillset are a tool in the toolbox. And when you add to what he does on Special Teams you end up with someone whos is well worth the value on his contract.
Too many people undervalue the versatility provided by bottom of the roster guys like Gilliam. That versatility saves valuable cap space, same with Bates at his price point. Any player that can play multiple positions on offense or defense along with special teams will have a long - if unheralded - NFL career.

Packers v Bears. I’m curious to see how Love plays. Particularly interesting will be the narrative that ensues if Love plays well this year and the Rodgers led Jets fail to meet expectations.

It’s pretty easy for even the “poorest” owners to borrow against the equity in their franchises in order to secure loans for that escrow money. That money, in turn, can still be invested while it’s in escrow to offset some of the interest on the note. It’s not revenue neutral in most cases, but it’s been wildly overblown in terms of the degree to which it creates an advantage/disadvantage depending on the owners’ net worth.
They may have changed the rules, but there used to be a limit of $150 million with regards to borrowing against the equity of the franchise. That said, they can also sell 30% to partners.

Show me where they don’t, it had nothing to do with the overall NFL financial health it’s a NFL requirement.
”The Cowboys, valued by Forbes at $8 billion, have an edge when it comes to signing players to guaranteed deals over a team like the Bengals, who according to Forbes are worth $3 billion. Neither club is going broke, certainly, but when owners sign a player to a fully guaranteed contract, NFL rules require the team to place the full dollar amount of the contract into an escrow account. Some owners, and family members, rely on income from the team for their livelihoods. Others, such as the Browns, who are owned by truckstop mogul Jimmy Haslam, who’s worth an estimated $5.5 billion, can afford to squirrel away $230 million more easily than some other organizations. The Watson deal could divide the NFL teams into haves and have-nots, with only the wealthiest owners able to lure top talent with guaranteed contracts.”
That’s a bit off. It’s 100% of guaranteed money into escrow. Non guaranteed salary can come from elsewhere. That’s why owners fight so hard against fully guaranteed contracts. That interest alone from that Burrow guaranteed money is at a minimum $10 million a year Brown isn’t pocketing. Guys like Pegula, Kraft and Kroenke can swallow it. Same with the Packer without an owner. For guys like Brown and Davis losing that liquidity and interest is a big deal. It’s one of the reasons that the raiders had to trade Kahlil Mack. Separates the rich owners from the guys who survive on NFL cash. Jones is a bit different because of how big the cowboys brand is.

A firefighter that went to Rutgers, a retired air traffic controller, and a Wisconsin AD all on the crew may not bode well for a Rodgers lead Jets team on 9/11 either…. Kind of feels like drawing the short straw.

With regards to the Dolphins…. They seem to forget that the last time the Bills played a Fangio defense they had 534 yards of offense, 5 touchdowns, and two field goals. Fangio is a great coordinator, but no DC can actually stop a top QB that’s figured out a defensive scheme.

I don't follow the Jets closely but I do know what Rodgers brings. Besides his arm talent, he reads defenses and moves around the pocket well. Teams only blitzed him 21% of the time last year (7th lowest rate in the league) because historically he's been effective against the blitz.
But Rodgers is in a new city, with a new OC, surrounded by new players, protected by a subpar OL, and using a playbook that he can't possibly have mastered yet as thoroughly as he did the one in Green Bay. Should we put Rodgers under siege with a non-Bills-like and unexpected heavy blitz package? At his age, and at this point in his Jets career, can Rodgers respond as effectively to the blitz as he has in the past?
If you don't like the blitz idea, what would you do?
That offense will probably look very similar (at least to fans) to what Rodgers and Hackett ran under LaFleur. A lot of WCO concepts mixed with zone runs. Motion to spread out the defense and isolate receiving matchups on the wide side of the formation or create numerical advantages in the run game.
Blitzing Rodgers can work, but it’s usually only effective if a lineman drops into coverage. Rodgers generally won’t be fooled, but the goal is to confuse a lineman or two and get a free rusher, so rarely blitzing but enough to make the line worry about it is key. Same thing goes for coverages… confuse the younger WRs into running routes incorrectly. Rodgers generally will not throw inside to guys he doesn’t trust. That said, Hyde and Poyer may be able to get one over on Rodgers here and there.

You look at some of those pictures, and I think it's clear that Allen hasn't exactly been a gym rat.
Davante Adams trade speculation…UPDATE: Schefter says no chance he is traded today (link pg 17)

Adams’ has probably had enough of losing and Raiders culture to not care about sharing catches if it means winning and keeping his paychecks the same. Dude got accustomed to a winning culture and wants to be in one. Diggs probably wouldn’t care about sharing the spotlight either if the result was a SB. They’ve both been paid.
