BILLieve85

This is something Ralph would’ve done.

Bills are fine. Sabres arena needs a lot of work. May be looking for investors to help with that.

That cap room is a decent RT in the offseason. Elam is a solid CB but this team doesn’t use man enough. This team has plenty of DB depth. Oh well

They’re not. Let me repeat. Not selling the Bills. They’ll unload every other asset before the Bills..

This ain’t it…

Just wait until next offseason when Bass needs a new deal. At some point these luxuries just won’t be possible

Add a punter who doesn’t kill you. That’s all you need

Jesus Christ. I don’t post much, but this place needs to grow up

So clear who they wanted to win

Why does it seem like we run to the short side of the field? That 2pt attempt was perfect. If it’s to the other side of the field

Y’all still want another RB?

Maybe stop playing zone when your all pro safeties are out..

Guessing you didn’t watch the game?

Deceiving thread title no? He did this as a rookie. As a 5th round pick. Maybe he’s talking up Shakir..

I’d be more than happy to give a code a home if no one is using theirs. Thanks!

Is it week 1, well I mean week 0 yet. Yikesss

This topic had been discussed ad nauseam. Draft WR at 25, trade for DK/ Lockett, sign overpriced FA. Yes we need depth especially with the number of targets walking out the door. But, and big but I don’t see mentioned. This offense runs through JA17. He’s going to elevate whoever is next to Diggs and Davis. Which is the OPs point. All this talk about needing more weapons, but then needing IOL, pass rush, corner next to Tre etc. Keep JA17 upright, and guys will step up.

Doesn’t matter. WR 1s don’t get paid according to the specifics of their skills. They get paid relative to their WR 1s peers and therefore in this case the WR 1s market. No such thing as apples and oranges in number 1 WR contracts. This. Hill did at the end of the game as what he did at the end of the 1st half. Run fast underneath soft zones, and got into space. Sigh

Poor choice of words by me, I think. Look at below market deals taken by Levi and McKenzie. Both integral parts of the cog, only to be ridiculed by media/fans for not being as good as Tre when needed or getting benched for fumbling, only to redeem oneself at seasons end. It’s extremely rare to see younger guys that are UDFAs or low round picks stick around one cheap one year prove it deals rather than get paid. I want these guys back, but in no way can we keep resigning younger guys below market in perpetuity. I’ve never seen it happen, so for we all to think it can continue is not realistic. Agree. The Ford pick hurts here, and couple that with trading Teller (but who knows if hes all pro level as he is in CLE vs say good starter). same can be said with Bates. Team has always liked him but seem to hide him as could play all positions on the line. But with the rearranging of deck chairs, why did we not play our best OL? Kid has proven it with his second half

His contract dictates his salary be paid over 17 games, in equal payments. He and the team fulfilled that. The reason you don’t see activity until March is the collectively bargained start to free agency in mid March, with the exception of players not achieving service turn requirements. Entertain me quick. Point A to Point B to off the cliff. If you’re Harry. What do you do? Sure this thread is mainly rumor, and the OP may not have substantiated, but nothing I said can be denied based on history. Appreciate your questioning of my reading comprehension, I see we’re back to being a**hats to each other here

This. Is somewhat shocking the consensus this board wants WR early. Especially after we all hoping Gabe Davis to do what he did in the playoffs. Oh how soon we forgot. JA17 is going to turn any mid round, or low cost vet, into viable options. It starts and ends with him. IOL DT/rush, and secondary youth are the needs. No WR, RB or anything else shiny. We have shiny.

No way Harry comes back to play reserve. He’s already proved to be starter material. I don’t want to get into wormholes, but the coaching and 13 seconds may drive youth away from this team, it’s soon to be creating randomness in special teams (minus bass). Bringing specialists in that don’t play their side of the ball, a punter who didn’t execute late in the season, returners who they seem to view as “punt catchers” and overall teams that can’t run squib kicks. Idk, I get what your saying, but this is much deeper than we think in my opinion. Also, this applies to both Zimmer and Harry. Go back to 2020, Zimmer was a steadying force. Once you make the 53 and start seeing regular playing time, it doesn’t matter if you’re ERFA, UDFA, RFA, 4-7th rounds. Play and go get paid.

He is not under contract. And tampering? Seriously? Do you know and have a direct line to Harry? As in you know what type of person he is? He owes us nothing and has every right to test the market. Does where you work have exclusive rights to your employment? That’s what you’re implying. He’s a good player, and would love to have him back, but also understand as a 3rd round pick and injury history, he’s doing what’s best for him and his family and not “our Bills family”

And look at FAs who sign 1 year prove it deals. Each team is biased to their own players, but if Harry is good (which he is when healthy) why would he take below market value and/or extra length to stay with the Bills to play 55% of snaps. Also, view this from his perspective. He has one chance, as is this chance, to get paid. No way he doesn’t test the market, even if the Bills offer market value (which honestly with the cap, is like $8-$10 million, depending on length). Look at DeVondre Campbell going from ATL to GB, yes different position, but this happens more than you care to admit. This is the one downside to our system, guys wanna play and not rotate as it leads to injury and such. Harry will have demand.

This can’t be serious. Manning had literally sponges as his defense in the 2000s. At least until they won in 2007. Not to mention going up against Brady, Big Ben, and Rivers each season. Sorry but at this point McDermott is and will be the coach. Who do you see as a viable alternative? I’m not sure there is any coach of note that would do any better, and without causing a complete internal revolt from players and staff. You can say new head coach, but come on man, bring an idea or two of who would replace. This thinking is on the same level as McDermott post halftime and sans adjustments
