The Eagles are dominant because they have a dominant defense AND run game. They also DON'T have a top 5 RB. Maybe not even a top 10. The time to build as the Eagles is over.

Why wouldn't you just roll with Cook and Hines and an UDFA or two? Perine is an absolute JAG. If we draft another RB, it may actually kill me.

The stats do support this. Splits: 3rd and 10+ YPA allowed 2021 4.1 2022 7.4

Hey, the also played a hot game in September!

Gibbs > Robinson feels like CEH > Taylor all over again. Folks love the pass catching aspect of RB's but there are a bunch of guys who can catch the ball and be near as productive as the top pass catchers that are cheaper. Taylor (and Robinson) are much better players at their position. The Chiefs replaced CEH with McKinnon who has been BETTER than him for nothing. Some 2022 stats: Ekeler 6.7 YPR McCaffrey 8.7 YPR Fournette 7.1 YPR Stevenson 6.1 YPR Aaron Jones 6.7 YPR Barkley 5.9 YPR Kamara 8.7 YPR McKinnon 9.1 YPR Swift 8.1 YPR Gibson 7.7 YPR Singletary 7.4 YPR. Montgomery 9.0 YPR. Some of those dudes are paid as stars. Some of them are young cheap players. Some of them are cheap vets. Unless they are great at EVERYTHING, like McCaffrey, it's likely not an ability worth chasing.

It's a really dumb article. Josh Allen's cap hit in 2020 was $5M, 30th in the NFL for QB's. Josh Allen's cap hit in 2021 was $10M, 17th in the NFL for QB's. Josh Allen's cap hit in 2022 was $16M, 13th in the NFL for QB's. The failure of the Buffalo Bills to win the Superbowl in the last 3 years has had nothing to do with Josh Allen's "big money contract." It has had everything to do with a team/coaching that just wasn't good enough Now, going forward, yes Josh's contract becomes more of a cap burden. But you know what? We saw what it looked like having a QB not worth a contract that could be a cap burden. So unless the plan was "find another franchise QB" which resulted in the worst team in the NFL for 17 straight non-playoff seasons, you have to figure it out.

Don't review the 19 draft. Ed O at #9. 8th best DL man in the first round. Cody Ford at #38. Bottom 3 player drafted in the second round. Traded for nothing. Knox and Singletary in the third. Fine. Vosean Joseph in the 5th round. Never played a down in the NFL. Jaquan Johnson in the 6th. STer and bad backup. Tommy Sweeney in the 7th. STer and bad backup. Darryl Johnson in the 7th. STer and traded away. The reason why Beane should feel the heat is because from 19-20, the Bills had 2 picks in the top 40 and 4 in the top 60. They got exactly one star. The Bengals in 2020-2021 had 3 picks in the top 40 and got 3 stars.

They committed to running the ball second drive of the game. Run run pass punt. 14-0. The offense was a massive problem, but the answer on Sunday was not “feed Singletary 20 times down 14.”

Lmao, I think there's something hilarious about saying, "the Bills just needed to put up 14 more points to win" in a game they could only score on two drives. Game was over after the first Q.

Exactly, now is the time to be bold. Not win another 12 games next year and get our teeth kicked in again. 100x yes.

Some do, sure. But definitely not all of them. In 2022, only 4 of the 10 rookies taken after #11 before the third round had >500 yards as rookies. 5 of them had less than 300 yards. In 2021, 7 rookies were drafted after #10 before the third round. Only 2 of them had >500 yards as rookies. You are just asking for another season watching Gabe Davis flub the ball.

Expecting rookie WR's to make day 1 impact is fool's gold. Shakir could barely make it on the field. Can't go into next season with the same dudes and a new rookie. We will be signing Brown and Beasley again by midseason if we do.

Looking a lot like the Steelers getting picked apart by Brady and Manning in the postseason for a decade. 6 more years to go. Would anyone like to change their answer to the Rams or Eagles or does "11 wins and a playoff exit" still scream excellence to TBD?

I make @SDS an offer he can't refuse, then I slowly use TBD to brainwash Bills fans into thinking having a decade of playoff losses is better than a single Superbowl win.

Like most teams in the NFL. Bengals were bad enough to go #1 overall. So were the Jags. Chargers had a top 5 pick before Herbert. Etc etc etc.

Schnowman had more Athletic articles than good games this year.

A million puke emojis. A hot game in September? Missing NYE? GTFO.

Are you reading what I’m saying lmao

I don't. I reject the OP entirely saying "this is life with a franchise QB under a big contract," BECAUSE for the last 3 seasons, we HAVE NOT had a big franchise QB contract. And the team has not been good enough. Next year, the big contract DOES hit.

How do you contact players 100+ times a year and never rip the ball out lol. It’s almost unbelievable.

and more importantly, NEITHER UNIT WAS HAMSTRUNG BY A FRANCHISE QB CONTRACT.

2FF too in his career. Urlacher had 2 at 34 years old in his last season.

He's not even under contract, zero point zero chance of a position change. He will also definitely suck as a DE.

Mayer won’t last til 27. Also, not interested in another highly paid TE to not throw to. Fine. Another 3rd round RB will make my head explode. Fine. Fine. fine. Overall, would absolutely HATE this draft.

True, but you could argue that as well for the defense annihilating the Ravens that year.
