IDK, I think going Defense round 1 or the thought of it, in yet another draft? just makes me physically ill lol
I agree, but somehow we have a huge hole in defense with 5 straight years of first round picks...🙄
MLB won't fix itself. I still hope for a OL player but value doesn't look great so IDK.

It is obvious. Get value. Depending on which teams have already picked a QB, there will still be several teams interested in Hooker. In addition to gaining capital, we may be able to prevent him going to NE or another AFC team.
If this is the case, you trade the pick to the interested team. You don't take the player and hope someone wants him.
You may be right that he has a first round market, I honestly don't see it but I'm flabbergasted by the interest in Richardson as a first round QB as well.
Trading down to let someone take him would be excellent, taking him and trading him later for future picks will set the team back for this year.

How about hybrid toilet/showers and wash basins/urinals as well?
Yes, that is known as a rise and fall clause - although it never falls in my experience.
Not lately.

I'm not a fan of the trade, but I won't veto it. I don't see the Bengals trading Higgins within the division
IDK, Ravens may not have a QB, what would it matter.

Inflation..........no on should be surprised
Absolutely, as an electrical contractor jobs going higher than expected when it's a long term project is the new norm.
Hope all the contractors priced everything to account for inflation, most contracts tell you to now as they won't pay the difference at the end.

We were an above average team that did not peak at the right time.
But in all honesty we could be sitting as back to back champions if things would have went a little differently.
Sadly, that's harder to take than knowing you just don't have the team. If you have the team and still can't, then when can you?

Are we really going into this draft and reaching for a MLB at 27 like we did last year at CB?
Rather irritating.Sadly at 27 most positions we need will be considered a reach unless someone falls.
I'd still like an Olineman, but even then at 27 there are no slam dunks.
At pick 27 I just trust the GM has a clue, Elam wasn't a bad pick, he was just managed poorly his rookie year.

His contract is set up so it can be restructured on a yearly basis. It clears about $30M against the cap each season to do so. They will simply continue to do so.
And that works great when it isn't fully guaranteed. So if they convert 20 million next season then the next 2 years will be 73,977,000.
Then there is only 2 years left do 20 again and his final year will cost 93,977,000.
Players aren't going to leave cash on the table, he wants every penny, like all players. When contracts aren't guaranteed it leaves way more room to fudge numbers.
It's simple math, players will have to take less overall if they want guaranteed contracts, or a massive raise in the salary cap is coming.

I would think a poor oline would drive the opposite- a quick hitting passing game rather than the constant long developing deep shots.
it did our line no favors having to block for 5 seconds
Agreed, but my point was the coaching staff didn't draw up quick hitting plays, instead the kept know and backs in to block. Hard to get open when you are blocking.

The under utilization of Knox is similar to that of the receiving backs. Do you think that is on the OC or Josh?
I believe both issues are a byproduct of the OL. I'm not excusing the coaching staff, but their lack of ability to dial up quick hit plays, on top of the fact that Knox and the backs have to help the OL protect Josh nets you the situation we have.
Just my opinion.

He was forced to return the 1.1 mil he took and the investigation is still ongoing.
Didn't he repay it preemptively to try and get out of it?
Either way, they have him dead to rights if they want him. Let's see how many people he can buy in Mississippi now.

LB Drew Sanders
OG Cody Mauch

Not really, it's just the trend that everyone is following.
Kyle Shanahan features his RBs and is successful doing it. He just needs someone a little better than Garopollo at the helm.
I prefer his offensive scheme over anything I've seen here in the past 5 years.
I agree completely, but you have to keep the team full of talent, and to his credit he does.
Which is why he can't pay a QB, but his team isn't dependent on any one player.
Hard to duplicate though.

Why does everyone from Boston / Mass know the plays before the snap?
Maybe he had a side hustle in making practice tapes 🤷♂️
-
He needs a Luke Keuchly (sp?) But I don't see that happening.
Keuchly knew the play before the ball was snapped, easy to be successful with a MLB like that.

Thats only if the broadcasters see the Bills as worthy of prime time. Personally I dont care and prefer 1pm games, but what have the Bills done this offseason to make people interested in them? Miami and NYJ are going to get all the hype going into the season. I think its likely that the talking heads see the Bills as a team fighting with NE for 3rd place in the division.
I certainly hope the storyline is the Bills fighting for 3rd, maybe they won't lay down like last year.

That's fine.
But your overall point is that these moves won't make the Jets a threat, right?
The same Jets team who BEAT US last year with a terrible QB. Is now adding a QB who, even if he is not as good as he once was, is still quite good. If Rodgers puts up just an AVERAGE offense, the Jets make the playoffs and are a thread.
The Jets lost games last year while scoring 3 points, 12 points, 17 points, 3 points (again), 6 points, 12 points (again), and 6 points (again). That's unfathomably bad offense.
You aren't wrong, and I'm a huge Rodgers fan.
He has a tendency to shut it down if things aren't going his way, he also struggled heavily last year with new players and no continuity. He will be in a similar situation this year, and I'm not sure he's willing to commit to an off-season at his age to combat the growing pains.

Too content, too complacent here in Buffalo
When the media doesnt ask any hard questions, ownership is distracted, and the fan base worships them, why would the front office take any bold risks required to win a championship?
Jets/Dolphins will grab the reigns and represent the East this year in January
Don't Jump my friend.
I agree we needed more than what we have gotten so far. But the Jets look like a team that will get blown up if they don't win a Lombardi.
Bought teams must succeed or they will be dismantled from top to bottom. I still think the Bills are in a good spot.

On Watson’s K? I don’t think the cap hit is that high.It's 63,977,000 the next 3 years, good luck fielding a team lol.

One of the worst takes I've seen on this. Didn't this guy used to be funny? Just pay someone whatever they want otherwise you are a racist? When the highest paid QB is black and Lamar is trying to copy a fully guaranteed contract from another black QB? Embarrassing. People need to vilify such race bating posts
It's insane. The real issue is other GMs/Owners are looking at Watsons contract wondering how Cleveland will field a competitive team next year.
I think his cap hit is in the 60s the next couple of years, because they converted some salary to signing bonus this year. On a fully guaranteed contract those tricks don't work as well.

It feels even weirder than that. More like a Barry Sanders situation.
I'm not familiar with the Barry Sanders situation, but I will say Lamar is making the biggest contact blunder I have personally ever seen.
At this point I wonder if he's going to suddenly retire and dissappear for a year, might be best case scenario.

lose your money?
you wouldn't want that money back---if the government was paying it to you? You would say: "that's ok, I don't want my fellow citizens to pay for my accidentally lost money"?
I was speaking of the bank bailouts when they use unsafe practices and lose their money, yet they are kept afloat with our money.
Banks operate with no real repercussions if they are big enough. Too big to fail should never be spoken.
But at the sake of the board I won't keep discussing this as it has nothing to do with the original post nor the intent of this board.

If this year's draft talent is as bad as some of you guys say, then of course Beane will want to look to trade down.
Problem is, so will other teams. We just have to wait and see how the draft flows.
The issue is IF Beane has to pick at #27, it most likely comes down to a few positions and who is the highest of those on his board.
I got no problem with a WR, LB or OT being the pick if that happens.
If we have to pick at 27 and Drew Sanders is on the board I'm sure he is the pick.
I don't love it but it makes the most sense from a talent/need evaluation.
I will say he was always considered an elite athlete even coming out of the state of Texas as a 5 star LB recruit. Did well at Alabama before transferring.

GOAT debate related to era Montana vs Brady
in The Stadium Wall
Posted
It's Brady, I hate to say it. Maybe it was because of advances in sports medicine/nutrition and it helped him extend his prime. Can't fault him for that.
I believe NE was going to fall off regardless if he stayed or went, but it happened how it happened.
And for the Montana handed it to another HoF QB arguments, don't forget Young was considered a failure in Tampa Bay. So Walsh definitely got the best out of him.
