Yes

I don’t think anyone would complain if Oliver got 3 years for 14M lol. What you demonstrated here was a massive difference in compensation

Their SB was forgotten????? WHAT AM I READING IN THE YEAR OF OUR LORD 2023 IN BILLS LAND!

This is a serious question. I am a serious person. We all know that for a large part of McD’s tenure here, he platoons the heck out of the DL. Philosophically, in certain areas, it makes sense. LoRax was old, use him a little less. The young guys need reps, let them get involved. But I have to wonder if that’s really what they WANT to do all the time. Do they want Oliver playing 60% of the snaps or would they prefer him at 80% because he’s playing so well there’s no reason to take him off the field? For the record, I don’t think this has anything to do with “over emphasizing defense” or whatever. I don’t think the Bills have been egregiously one sided in investments. But I do wonder if the platoon of AJE, Boogie, Greg, Oliver etc etc etc over the years is just what this team wants to do, or if it’s more that a lot of those guys haven’t given the coaches enough of a reason to leave them out there longer. For me, the answer is probably “a little of both” but in light of the Floyd signing, I think it’s a worthy topic.

We have a bunch of guys who can’t get 8 playing next to Von Miller.

I slept on McK and Shakirs breakout years last year and I’m still sleeping. big improvement is getting a big time player.

Lol every Bill is recruiting this dude and we have fans being like “we’re all set”

Hopkins had his “go to a young team and make them into a playoff team” saga already. He ain’t signing with anyone without a good chance at a ring.

The Chiefs have the current best QB and one of the best coaches of all time and probably the best TE of all time. If we can get those three guys, then let’s follow the Chiefs model. If we can’t, let’s get Hopkins.

If the top 3 teams in the AFC are the Chiefs, the Bengals and Bills, I would bet on the one in the playoffs that only has to play the other 2 once, at home.

DHop should sue the league for collusion because no one wanted to trade picks and give him the contract he wanted - Florio, probably

Lol in the playoffs every game is important. Because if you lose, you don’t keep going. The Ravens game wasn’t important bro. It wouldn’t have mattered if we won or lost. We went to the AFCCG either way.

Oh oh that one just doesn’t count. Lmao. Sorry my mistake. I thought it was a great gameplan against a playoff team to get us to the first AFCCG in like 2 decades. But hey, not really a big game, not really a great gameplan (because that team had no offensive talent even though they made the divisional round and whipped the Titans the week before with 400 yards of offense). I’ll be more careful to bend reality to my “McD always sucks in the playoffs” narrative.

Was our home playoff game against the Ravens not a big game? it’s hard to take arguments seriously when we act like it’s never ever been done by McD.

????????

Maybe Knox can be the big slot guy. You asked why he was not used that way last year, and I told you. You CAN keep an RB home in pass-pro and put Knox in the slot. That's not what happened though. I think Kincaid is a little shiftier and a little better route runner than Knox (although he hasn't done anything in the NFL yet). I think Knox is a better pass-catcher than most people give him credit for because they remember his putrid drop rate from a couple seasons ago. I think Knox is a superior blocker to Kincaid. It will be interesting to see how they are used. I would love to see a lot of presnap motion between the two and some more creativity. That's all on Dorsey though. As for Knox, he was 8th in yards per target last season, ahead of guys like Hock, Andrews, Fant, Gesicki etc. IMO, that paints a clear picture that any qualms about his production come from the opportunities he is given (or rather not given) instead of a lack of ability.

Yep. The most obviously disconnect last year between FO and coaching was paying Knox that money and then letting him play 4th or 5th banana as a receiver.

Because our OL sucked all year. Knox was asked to stay in and help block a ton. And Dorsey didn't really get him more involved until the second half of the year. Knox had 5 or more targets only 3 times in his first 8 games. He had 5 or more targets in 6 games the rest of the year. I never said you said that. You're stuffing words in my mouth lmao.

Knox doesn’t get to pick where he gets lined up.

Heaven forbid the Bills lose week 1. we will be talking about trading Josh and Von for a “king’s ransom” to start the 9 year rebuild and achieve the most important thing of all, cap space.

Huh? what is a bad narrative? Who said they weren’t the same size?

Add in that just about every team “improves” in the off-season lol. Our HC and QB have won the AFCE what, 3 years in a row? But of course, we are due for 8-9 says the battered Bills fans.

Knox doesn’t line up in the slot as much as a Kelce does nor is he really used that way which I think was GB’s point, not that he’s not the same size.

Are you replacing Yolo for now?
