Steelers got Metcalf for a 2nd round pick. Imagine what Allen could do with Metcalf.

Maye is going to torch this defense. We are going to need to win a shootout. You’re right that McD has historically been able to beat young BAD QB’s. But even as a ROOKIE, Maye had over 290 yards and 2 TD’s against our defense. And he is better this year than last year. We are going to get torched on 3rd down, over and over, and are going to need to win a shootout (30-27 type of deal).

Yeah the seat color design is nice. Probably my favorite aesthetic part of the new stadium thus far.

Knox is more valuable to us this year than a 5th.

It’s absolutely about speed. Receivers that beat press man are almost always quick. If you try to muscle your way out of press man, it takes too much time. To run and throw a back shoulder route, you need time. The reason press man and blitzing at the sam time works, is because the blitz can get to the QB before the receiver has run his route.

AJ Brown can beat it because he is big like Coleman, BUT he is also fast. Brown ran the 40 in the 4.4’s … Coleman ran in the 4.6’s.

This is a McD trait imo. He wants the benefit of the blitz with the safety of not giving up an easy TD if the corner gets burned. I dont agree with it, but thats why they do it. Spags will send a blitz and play press man at the corners. That means it takes longer for the WR's to break free, and that gives time for the blitz to get there. I LOVE THIS. The downside is - if you have a quick twitch receiver, and they can avoid that press, you have an easy long gain. Unfortunately we dont have that speed WR to beat the press.

I apologize for my dog.

I wish we did this. Put Josh in shotgun. If he has someone open, throw it. If he has a lane, run in. If the play is DOA, pooch it.

Careful Augie. You are awfully close to receiving the dreaded RochesterFan eyeroll emoji. 😀

I know what you said. Without any evidence whatsoever. Knox is blocking a large share of his snaps. He is not running routes all the time. It is entirely too early to say what Hawes will become. Right now, he is blocking like a mad man and catching everything thrown his way. And the better he blocks the more dangerous he will be as a pass catcher. It’s hilarious watching Billsfanforever19 spin his wheels insisting that he knows the Bills plans for Hawes after 4 games 😂.

Way too early for you to make any of these claims in my opinion. If anything I would be leaning toward the opposite of everything you said, but we will know more as the season progresses. Hawes has caught everything thrown at him and has out targeted Knox the last 2 games. Releasing Knox after June 1st would save the Bills approximately $7M in cap ($12M cap save - $5M dead cap). If I am Beane, that is… intriguing. Pre-June 1st cut would save $2M without amortization.

You realize that you could just not come in this thread, right?

It’s a two way street that never should have been ventured down. KC is happy to trade with us because they know they win those trades.

No, it’s not silly. You never hand your rival the exact asset they want. Your comparison to business is not applicable. This isn’t the paper industry where there’s an endless supply of vendors, and it isn’t tech where you can source talent and resources worldwide. The NFL is a closed league with a VERY limited number of assets. Every elite player is scarce, and every opportunity matters. You don’t give that advantage away to your direct rival. And I’ll take it a step further: I will bet you any dollar amount you want, that Beane will never trade with the Chiefs ever again during his Bills tenure. I truly believe he learned his lesson.

exactly

And yet there are posters on this forum who will defend Beane trading picks to KC. I don’t care what we get back! There should be a firm WE DO NOT DO BUSINESS WITH KANSAS CITY rule in our front office.

Worthy is good. It is as simple as that. Anyone arguing against that at this point is just being a KC hatwr. He has dangerous speed, good hands and he is developing a really nice slant game as well. I hated trading to KC at the time and I hate it now.

Dont move goal posts. The person you responded to simply made a comment alluding to many people not paying attention to halftime shows (and thus it doesn’t matter who performs). Nothing about advertising revenue.

To be fair, that was the excuse for Elam too. ”he just isn’t getting the playing time” Turns out that there is a very good reason he wasn’t getting playing time. Let’s see how Dallas fans are liking him:

That’s what the numbers say because people don’t actively turn their television off during halftime. But how many people are actually WATCHING it (versus talking to friends in the kitchen, eating pizza, etc)?

Didn’t he have a holding penalty too?

Oh his songs are all in spanish…

I must be getting old because I have absolutely zero idea who this person is.

Bad Bunny!?
