Worthy is hurt, Rice isn’t back for another 4 games and who knows what he will look like. Its kinda poetic that we could end Miami’s season tonight, and they could trade Tyreek to our biggest obstacle as a result. IMO, there’s no team that Tyreek would have MORE of an impact if added midseason than the Chiefs

Playing with a QB that sucks and can’t get you the ball will do that to you. BTJ is still that dude

If you called the Jags right now and offered them that package for BTJ, they would laugh and hang up.

????? https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Super_Bowl_LVII https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Super_Bowl_LVIII When a quarter of your list are guys signed 6 years ago who have been retired, I have to wonder. Did you include the “fact” that Keon Coleman was almost basically a first round pick despite being picked 33?

No HC and staff would plan for their first year to NOT be a transitional year, then the next 2 be transitional years lol. ”we are going to be competitive year one, then tear it all down in year 2” is not a plan the owner signs up for lol.

Belichick’s cultural dynasty of like 19 AFCE titles, 6 championships and 8 straight AFCCG’s fell apart into a top 3 pick and everybody fired in about 3 years. If it can happen to the greatest NFL coach ever, McD and co will almost certainly bellyflop their way out of Buffalo when Josh retires.

Yeah so Stafford was much better in LA lol He instantly won a Super Bowl there. Jared Goff has puked in the postseason with maybe the most talented team in football 2 years running. This take is crazy to me. If we are living in a world where Wentz or Jameis or Mariota or Brandon Weeden or Fields or Trubisky are drafted by McD, some of them end up being great QBs? No chance. 0 percent.

I’m fully convinced there’s a universe where Josh Allen retires as the undisputed GOAT QB. He unfortunately got saddled with pale Ron Rivera and Gettlelite as his supporting cast.

Can I ask what made us different from Cleveland and NYJ in those days? we were fully on the draft a QB, watch him fail, fire everybody carousel for about 18 years until Allen got here The greatest trick McBeane ever played was convincing the Bills fandom that this era is all because of them

Remember when Goff was considered a negative asset in the trade for Matt Stafford. I like Jared, but he is who he is.

I agree with largely all of this. The QB himself is 90% personally responsible for their own development and success. the old “how would Brady and Peyton have done if they were drafted in the opposite situations” question was easy to answer. Both may have had a slightly different number of Super Bowls, but both would have still been all time QBs Darnold is about to go back to being a backup after spending 2 seasons with two of the best offensive minds in the NFL who couldn’t hide his flaws forever. Sam Darnold was never going to be good. Seems like a nice kid so it sucks, but that’s the way it goes.

There's something fun about watching teams fail to pair HC/GM/QBs together and then be surprised everyone isn't on the same page.

2 seed Bills facing the 7 seed Chiefs in Buffalo in WC weekend. What's your confidence level at

Yeah for real. like I know we all want to believe the wicked witch is dead. But I wouldn’t think our season is over at 0-2. It’s not over until they are mathematically eliminated. Is anyone gonna feel good if the Chiefs limp in as a 7th seed coming to Buffalo in the WC round?

They started 2-2 and got blown out on primetime by the Alex Smith Andy Reid chiefs that year. Beat the Seahawks in the SB 2014.

I know we talk all the time between good orgs and bad orgs when it comes to appearing buttoned up and professional but that’s outrageous. When the time comes when Josh doesn’t have it anymore, I would expect our franchise to handle that transition with much more grace. How these guys don’t realize they are football people AND the front men for billion dollar corporations is beyond me. I also feel for Mara becoming more meddling after something like that happens.

That was a slap in the face for the most successful Giants QB ever. if McAdoo didn’t clear that with Mara, he was an idiot.

Dorian is at his best when Babich doesn’t make him think. He’s a bit like Nigel Bradham. When you let him play a downfield attacking style, he can make some plays. When he has to read and react, he’s illiterate.

Teams don’t trade elite top tier pieces mid season. Dorian has not been good really ever in Buffalo. It would be nice for the light to come on ASAP but based on what I’ve seen, I doubt it. Which means he will be back in camp in 2027.

Brady’s scheme has a much lesser supporting cast than Dorsey’s and has them playing actually way better, including the QB. Who knows if Brady will succeed at his next stop, but he has somehow unlocked an even better version of Josh Allen You don’t think the “improved” Josh Allen has anything to do with his OC? Lol

He hasn’t played a snap since 2023.

Darren Waller hasn’t played a snap and may never.

I just can’t believe that Glenn didn’t sign off on making Fields the “guy” this offseason and pay him way more than he should have gotten in the open market.

I don’t think that’s the case either. Kirk has a no trade clause, and basically no market via trade. They are almost certainly gonna cut bait with him next year. This may be their only chance to get ANYTHING for him. Oh I totally get not doing it if the Bengals think rolling with Browning is better. And I think there’s an argument that is in fact the case. i just think this is the EXACT scenario Atlanta (and Kirk) was hoping for. A medium term injury to a team with playoff expectations who may need a desperate QB trade. Kirk gets his money upfront and a chance to play for another payday, Atlanta gets a pick for a dude who is a guaranteed cut next offseason.

Cousins’ money is largely tied up in Atlanta. If Cousins was traded from Atlanta, today, Atlanta would eat $37M over this year and next in dead cap. Cousins would only be getting his 2025 base salary with Cincinnati. They could restructure Burrow’s $41M cap hit and fit Cousins tomorrow. I’m not saying that’s a great idea by any means, as that’s kicking Burrow’s can down the road more and that’s still a significant cost for a 12 game rental, but if the GM/HC are in danger of getting fired if they missed the playoffs again, why do they care?
