Here is what I wrote about him last month: G Isaac Seumalo - A lisfranc injury ended his 2021 and some people thought he might be a post June 1 cut, but he has had a really solid 2022 season. Philly papers say he is the most underrated player on a great Philly o-line and is the glue of the line. He is 29 years old and his estimated market value is $12M per season. Can't imagine why he would leave Philly or Philly would let him walk after the season they and he just had but Super Bowl teams typically have to make hard choices. https://www.twobillsdrive.com/community/topic/245851-looking-at-our-options-to-rebuild-the-o-line-in-2023/#comment-8262977

Saints team knows him better than anyone and didn't keep him despite being thin at WR. Saint's fans know him better than any other fans and LAUGHED at us for signing him to that amount of money. The team and fans that know him best say "nay".

If history is any predictor then Harty will be in the rehab room, so hopefully Shakir has it covered.

The Jets defense is LOADED. I have no doubt they will be the #1 defense in the NFL next year. All Rodgers needs to do is score 20 points and they’ll win at least 10 games.

Im very happy that he is healthy. As far as football is concerned, he was often missing tackles, taking bad angles and slow to react. So yeah, i’m with your assessment.

Yeah Pacheco looks great. The rich get richer.

I think it’s a pretty fair bet that Mahomes has 3 rings before Allen even gets to appear in 1 Super Bowl. And that’s not due to any fault of Allen’s.

Shoen and Daboll are doing a great job.

The Bengals got better but I would not have wanted Orlando Brown at that price. Overrated.

That’s a certified thread ender right there. Well done.

This is a great point. It would be the greatest failure in Bills franchise history if we end up wasting Josh Allen’s career. Imagine waiting all that time for a franchise QB, only to settle for participation trophies (divisional round games) and then being told to appreciate it. Nah.

I think a lot of this depends on where an individual poster is in their life. For me, nothing short of a SB appearance matters. We have not been in a SB in nearly 30 years. There are people performing surgery that have never seen the Bills in a Super Bowl. Personally, the AFC East titles mean nothing to me.

Doesn’t sound like they saw him play much since he was injured a lot.

How did you do during the drought years?

Sorry if it came off that way. I was just being playful.

Until Week 5 you mean? The last 12 weeks of the season we were no where near the best team.

I think that’s a fair opinion to have. Beane definitely turned the roster from perennial 7-9 team to a contender every year. That being said, THIS off-season he’s done pretty much nothing to improve the team so the title of this thread just doesn’t make much sense.

5 NFCCG and a SB is a lot different than 1 AFCCG and no SB.

Great point.

Regular season is irrelevant. The Jets beat us in the regular season. Are they good enough? The playoffs are where teams show their colors. And so far are colors havent resulted in a championship. That's fair. We really didn't have any other good option at safety.

I like Poyer a lot and really appreciate all he has done for this team for the past half decade. I understand retaining him since we have no real other option at safety, but re-signing him doesnt move us any close to a championship and he has shown signs of slowing down. We need a better roster since the current roster keeps getting bounced out of the playoffs.

This post is a perfect example of how the off-season has been "meh" at best. Our 2022 roster wasn't good enough to make it out of the divisional round. Yet 7 of our 9 moves have been re-signing the players that were not good enough to make it out of the divisional round, or letting them walk in Free Agency (Edmunds). I understand that you have to sign some of your own, but the unfortunate part is that we do not have enough cap space to get new players. Of our 2 new players, 1 has never made it through a full football season and has been on IR at some point for 2 of the last 3 seasons. The other was the 68th ranked free agent, according to NFL.com

Abracadabra! Here is an injury prone WR and an old safety! Poof!

Huh? He did what every other GM does. Restructures contracts to get some cap space. You're more confident about 2023 after we lost a LB, got a WR that Saints fans say is injury prone and overpaid, and retained a 32 year old safety? I don't get it.

To the extent that there are small nuances within the game, I don't think they are large enough to have a substantial impact on an overall grade. To account for them you could assign a variance of +/- 5 to each player and still have reasonable rankings. Maybe a player rank #1 in his position group drops to #3 and player #2 goes to #1, etc, but it's not like player #40 is going to jump up to #5 because of some small nuance that PFF doesn't know. Generally speaking, I think their grading is close to how NFL teams see players. Are there exceptions at times? Sure. But teams do dumb things all the time. We went 17 years of no playoffs in part by drafting poorly. If we had used the general consensus draft ranking for those 17 years, we likely would have been much better. .
