Only one team can win it all, that means 31 others had unsuccessful seasons? For me, personally, it’s all about enjoying sundayS, not just hoping they get to one game at the end of the year and win that one particular Sunday, and if they don’t come out on the right side of that game, then everything was for nought? It would be a great experience and all obviously to see 17 hoist a Lombardi, but as a fan, if my team is winning more than they are losing, that’s all you can really ask for as again only one team can win it all. I’m not going to look back on all these winning seasons with any modicum of failure, I’m just going to count my blessings the Bills Mafia has one of the winningest teams in the NFL over the last five years, and keep hoping next season is the year they finally get over the hump…

Like others have said, I think they are out of the business of paying high dollars for a vet WR. I expect two WRs in the draft, and maybe a signing that I will hate like MVS or OBJ after the draft.

Josh Allen. 4 straight division titles after two decades in the doldrums…

Was Bobby Hart not available?

Yeah, Bills still better because Josh Allen is the best all around football player in the history of the game. I get Houston’s WR trio now probably looks the best in the league on paper, but the NFL changes so much year to year. Diggs clearly on his way to hitting THAT wall as evident by his play suddenly falling into Clayton’s Ravine during the second half of last season. Dell already suffered a major injury. Mixon is nothing special. Just feels a lot like the Jags hype last year before they just did what the Jags inevitably do, imploded, missed the playoffs entirely and completely fell short of expectations.

Glad he’s gone, he was a ghost while the team went on a winning streak and won the division. He’s not a dynamic take over the game wide receiver. He’s a nice player, crisp route runner, but he’s not the difference maker he thinks he is. My only question is, does this extra pick give this team enough capital to move up and grab Odunze, especially with the onslaught of QBs expected to go at the top of the draft?

If I was looking for a bunch of passive aggressive nonsense, I’d talk to my wife. No, Philanthropy while living in continued opulence is not enough. While we continue to live on a planet with ever growing food scarcity and lack of access to clean safe drinking water for a disproportionate amount of people, millions of CHILDREN, then I will never condone the disgustingly excessive lifestyle of billionaires. Yes, children dying of starvation makes me angry. Yes people not having access to the most basic of healthcare makes me angry. Yes knowing none of this HAS to be this way, makes me angry. And yes, I am jealous of those who have the means to make a real difference but don’t. Mega yachts, private jets, private islands, buying social media platforms because you don’t like the narrative while 700+million globally (twice the population of the entire United States), live in abject poverty, and you take advantage of that fact by mining cheap lithium, or using the cheap labor to make all your “Basic” goods. Or maybe like our own Terry Pegs, fracking the planet and destroying ecosystems to make your mint, take your pick, it’s all gross. Would it appeal to your sensitives if I just said the overwhelming majority of the ultra rich are garbage people? Because really it seems like you got hung up on the semantics of a generalization. I’m sorry, MOST billionaires are proper shite, better?

Lol yes Bill Gates and Warren Buffet are “good people” now, right… back to 🏈…

Agree to disagree… I’m sure there are all kinds of people in the Billionares Club, a good one however, I’ll believe it when I meet one. The idea of an altruistic billionaire sounds great in theory, imagine what the world would actually look like if this were indeed the case. Glad you couldn’t let the “bold pass”, what the world definitely needs is the part of the 99% white knighting on behalf of the <1%… If they were good people, they wouldn’t be billionaires. They would’ve used the overwhelming majority of their liquidity/worth to do good, and make lasting change to leave this planet/society better than the one they were born into, and then still live a life of luxury that the overwhelming majority could never fathom on a pittance of a couple hundred million $.

Doesn’t surprise me in the least, I have family who work directly day to day with certain NFL owners (all I can say is it’s not the Pegulas) and I can personally attest billionaires are garbage people so completely out of touch with the world the overwhelming majority of us live in, especially with the record inflation we’ve all had to come to terms with, yet the “cost of living” pay increases that should be standard, are absent all together... The way they will waste egregious sums of $$$ on lavish nonsense, but then nickel and dime their employees is abhorrent. PSL’s are the timeshare of sports. Pegula bought this team for $1.7Billion, the team was valued by Forbes at $3.7Billion in August 23, so likely over $4Billion at this point. But that’s not enough? We need to fund his stadium AND pay out the nose for the RIGHT to purchase tickets… Buy the PSL, perpetuate the cycle of inequality between the elites and the rest of us. Don’t buy the PSL, force change, what are they going to do, abandon a brand new stadium? People act as if there is no choice here…

I’ll just stick with buying a top of the line TV every few years, with the best viewing angles possible, no traffic or obnoxious drunks vomiting in public… to each their own, I get why others enjoy the stadium experience, I did in my 20s, when the team was awful, and tickets were readily available, often below face value on gameday, but as a fan of the actual game and it’s nuances, I don’t think there is a worse sport to watch live. Idc what your financial situation is, I couldn’t fathom paying these egregious sums to watch a game where you’re not even certain what’s happened half of the time until you’ve watched the replay on the Jumbotron. If I had enough $ to not care about the price of the PSLs, that’d mean I’d be worth enough to own my own team, and I’d just do that instead.

Just boycott buying seasons. Tax payers funding Billionaires hobbies is bs to begin with.

How much did the Broncos eat to just make Russ go away? Sometimes you gotta swallow those horse pills to get better… him acting like a petulant little B word, again, isn’t going to help this team get to where it needs to go.

At worst he’s a capable safety, not a ballhawk by any means. Maybe a little too much Donte Whitner to his game. That said, I like the move, I’d almost guarantee this deal is back heavy with this year not counting much more than $2M-$3M against the cap.

Smart move is to just take your lumps for the next 2-3 years, off any player with value for whatever picks they can get, even if they are day 3s, and just field a roster of rookies and vet minimum guys while you bottom out and stack up some top draft picks. Once you do this, don’t ruin it all by giving $250 million fully guaranteed to a sex pest.

So very sorry for your loss.

At this point I’m disappointed the bottom didn’t fall out and this team didn’t miss the playoffs all together if it means we’re stuck with this dog and clappy show for the foreseeable future. It’s been painfully obvious for some time now that MiDermott has plateaued, he’s not getting it done, he won’t get it done, let’s just keep wasting Josh Allen. Can honestly say Idgaf about the draft or free agency, any of it so long as they insist upon spinning their tires with Sean. You know how the story ends every year, Terry’s true colors are showing, he just doesn’t want the Bills to end up like the Sabres, as long as they are relevant and churning out winning seasons, he’s happy.

I don’t believe this is the best Bills team we’ve seen under Josh, and this kinda underscores that 13 seconds was MiDermotts only legitimate chance at getting the job done here in Buffalo. I believe we’ll see better, more complete Bills teams with Josh over the next few years, but it won’t happen until they realize they got Doug Collins and not Phil Jackson (tired reference, but it’s on point). But that being said, I did buy in for a second that they might be able to get one this year in what seemed to be an real up for grabs situation.

DeFense… You know, the one that forced how many punts yesterday? “But injuries” Then scheme accordingly, or you’re not elite as a coach, that simple. A defensive play calling head coach should be able to force A punt.

His choice to think it was acceptable to trot AJ Klein out onto an NFL field in the first place, at this point in his non existent career, let alone into coverage against one of the best Tight Ends ever to do it. I understand injuries, but he could’ve gotten a hell of a lot more creative schematically than “insert AJ Klein”. That’s never a legitimate option, he was never good in coverage in whatever “prime” he had, let alone now that he’s absolute dust. 3 Safety looks, Dodson and Williams rotate at LB, dare them to run, hope for stops, don’t just let Mahomes play pitch and catch with guys in space though.

It’s his McDefense that keeps getting embarrassed every single post season. How is it NOT him? either A-he’s not getting his players prepared to play or B-the game plan was proper ***** or C-he gets out coached in game and situationally or McD- all of the above. Either way, the defense that routinely falls short in big games, and every single post season, over more than half a decade, suffers from one common McDenominator… somewhere along the way come playoff time he’s doing something wrong whether it be preparation, execution or in game adjustments and decision making, he lets the team down… every single year. Josh LITERALLY playing the perfect game wasn’t enough, 13 seconds was too much time for him to do his part, it will never be enough with MiDermott at the wheel. He had his ultimate chance at redemption last night, and he blew it. Time to send him back to Carolina.

Literally… He gave up 31 just last year to Skylar Thompson in a home playoff game, I’m surprised anybody was actually expecting a win yesterday. When I saw him insisting on putting AJ Klein into coverage, rather than just go 3 safety and make Pacheco and the ground game beat you, I knew it was over and there would be no stopping Mahomes.

I wouldn’t be opposed to Ben Johnson, by any means, but offense isn’t the reason this team falters regularly in the post season.

This whole season is on McDermott. This team should have easily been the 1 seed rather than giving games away to Zac Wilson and Mac Jones, 12 men on the field, routinely squeaking out wins playing down to competition like Easton Stick and Bailey Zappe. This team is getting credit for going on a winning streak and squeaking out the division when it never should’ve been close in the first place. Seriously, trade him to Carolina, it’s a win win scenario.

Maybe they could just trade McDermott? Wouldn’t be the first time a coach has been traded… I hear there is an opening in Carolina…
