The Bills have really fundamentally failed at paying players for what they are going to provide in the future. Bernard had a great second year and was up and down since. Benford was coming off concussions x2 after a great year. Rousseau is a solid DE that hadn’t grown into an impact player at the EDGE. And Beano paid them all AHEAD OF SCHEDULE, (to hilarious applause.) This is the obvious downside of the strategy. Basically none of these contracts look particularly good right now and we are locked into this crew for the next 2 years at least. I said it at the time and I’ll say it again. If you are going to lock up these players and your future financial flexibility over the longer term as your “major” move of the offseason, you CAN’T be wrong. You hamstring the team otherwise.

the 6 points don’t count because we turned it over? We were playing Davis Mills. It would be nice to get a carry job by the defense playing against a backup QB on a short week when the offense can’t get it going for once. I guess we need to hand out a couple more $20M AAV extensions or spend a few more offseasons exclusively on the defense to expect them to perform above average against a career backup.

The team was 9th in net passing yards, in large part because we lost 63 total yards in sacks for the YEAR. League average was 270. And it’s not like Josh was the only QB in the NFL who didn’t play some 4th Q’s or the last game of the year. We have the best QB in the NFL and we have an average passing yard total. Seems like kind of an issue.

Josh Allen was 14th in passing yards last season. He was 18th in passing yards per game last season.

Stream of consciousness posting is back? I’m here for it! Here’s my try. Jalen Hurts plays for the Eagles I like the color green. Farms can have green land. Green land is for sale. I’m concerned Pegula is going to sell the team.

Legitimately, the answer is fire everyone. Cut all the bum contracts. Knox, Samuel, etc etc. all the guys we can eat the money for next year with penalty but also additional savings. I probably trade Coleman if I can get a 4th or conditional 4th. Hire a younger offensive mind. Probably from the Shanahan tree. I try to dangle AHC/DC duties to a Vic Fangio or a Brian Flores. We are unfortunately cooked when it comes to defensive personnel for the most part, but I’d like to get an experienced DC in there to revamp roles, responsibilities and see who can actually produce. I dangle our 2026 first for a player. Would have no problem going for Waddle or AJB. I would try to hang onto our second and see if we can get a premium positional player, either an EDGE or a tackle or even a WR. I’d bring in a bunch of end of roster guys to fill in the rest of the gaps. We don’t need middle class FAs anymore and we aren’t wasting any more money on them to be the 5th or 6th DL or the 5th or 6th WR. I’d try to get another body at WR in the fourth or even 3rd unless we draft one with our second. Id pay the OL with the savings from the dead weight we cut. No other big moves. My idea for groupings would be: Josh Cook, Ty, Davis 1st round trade vet (waddle, AJB), Palmer, Shakir, rookie, +\- another rookie and Keon. Kincaid, Hawes, street FA/UFA OL as it stands Rousseau, Jackson, rookie DE, Solomon, street FA Oliver, Walker, Saunders, street FA Bernard, rookie LB Hairston, Benford, Lewis, rookie DB, street FAs. Bishop, Hancock, rookie DB, street FAs go bargain bin for depth. Enough is enough of paying the Tre White’s of the world millions to be bad.

I just want to shout out @GoBills808 for coining the phrase “Teflon Sean.” Somehow this guy gets unilateral credit for saving the franchise from the drought, and every good thing that has happened to us since then, and gets to pass the buck when the offense sucks, or the team disappoints or they lose a game. He has the best job on the planet.

I’m saying can it get worse if we fire everybody

The magician Beano

Yes. philly went from worst to first with new voices on defense and won a ring after limping into then playoffs the year prior.

We are badly losing games to guys like Davis Mills who is a backup and Tua who is basically out of the playoffs already. Can it REALLY get worse?

The proverbial chickens have come home to roost. years and years of neglecting WR, throwing around cap space to bring in overpaid scrubs on bad contracts (Curtis Samuel), extending our super core of JAG+ defensive players to the tune of like $200M. We have a crappy roster with a good OL and a great QB, no cap space, no maneuverability, and nowhere to go but down.

And they have Davis Mills and somehow scored more points than us. go figure

Did Elway win with the coach that drafted him

Is Milano benched?
