    Haack restructures contract

    in The Stadium Wall

    I would be fine if Araiza was selected in the 1st round by Buffalo.  Ray Guy was a 1st round pick and that really paid dividends to the Raiders for years.  It's a game of field position and if you have a punter that can add 20 or so yards to the average punt, you have something very special.

    Does the strategy change when a team is this close to the SB?

    As teams get closer to winning the SB I feel it makes sense to shift resources from building a foundation towards high end talent. Those resources are cap usage and draft picks.

    I see your point, but I also don't think the team should abandon the methodology that got them this close to a SB to begin with.  I don't think I'd allocate more than 10%-to-15% of all available resources to a "big name" guy while using the remaining 85%-to-90% of resources in the usual process way ... making sensible FA deals that work for the both the team and the player, trades, drafting well, etc).  Maybe bring on ONE big name guy who can truly be a difference maker, but otherwise be prudent with remaining resources and do deals that make sense to the team and generally stick to the plan that made you this competitive.
    Edit: And I'd want to keep my draft picks, so I'd make sure the resources came from CAP.

    Bills FA rumors thread

    Not against any free agent who can help - big splash or small ripple - just be a solid contributor.  Hope Pegula just lets Beane do his thing with FA - last thing we need is a meddlesome owner.  Buffalo is already a hot destination for FAs with Allen at QB and it's not like we need to bring in a big name just to appear relevant (e.g. Terrell Owens) because Buffalo is already relevant.

    Would Ya? Sam Darnold Edition?

    On a side note, think of the fact that we could have Rosen, Josh, and Darnold all on this roster together if we really wanted to.  Hell, even Baker after this season.  It's crazy how that all turned out.

     

    It is quite ironic that this is even feasible.  I wouldn't be totally against Darnold as a backup, but just not sure he has shown enough to hope he can turn his career around.  At least Mitch Trubisky had a degree of success with Chicago and a .596 win percentage, but cannot say the same of Darnold.

    In hindsight, what’s your worst “hot take” on TSW ever?

    1. Nathan Peterman's quick release was fast like Dan Marino's and he would have great success in this league.
    2. J. P. Losman would have a productive career.

    3. I thought Marcel Dareus would develop into a Pat Williams type of NT, but instead he went the route of JaMarcus Russell once he got his big pay day.

    4. I was on the fence with Johnson vs. Flutie, but leaned a bit toward Johnson instead of Flutie.

    5. I thought Kelvin Benjamin was a good acquisition.

    6. Duke Williams was going to be that big target and would blossom.

    7. Marv Levy was just another coaching "re-tread" and would only last a couple of years in Buffalo as HC.

    8. Marv Levy would be a savior as a GM.

     

    However, on the flip side, I will say I was all-in on the Josh Allen pick before the draft and didn't think much of the "other Josh".  :)

    Wow that was a surprise. Huge loss for the Bills. A lot of change on the coaching staff and that worries me. 

    Wonder if he was holding out for promotion to DC (under assumption Frazier would be moving elsewhere).  With Frazier still here, maybe he's just had enough.

    Vontae wasn't trying to draw attention to himself with it, the most he did was use the notoriety from it to do an ad later.


    Very true.  Quote from ESPN article ...

    Bills Were 3 Yards Away From Being The 1 Seed.

    The loss to the Titans... (I think it was around 3 yards they needed for the TD when Josh slipped on the 4th and 1)

     

    If the bills win that game, they are 11-5 and Titans would be 10-6.

     

    Bills would have had the same record as the chiefs at 11-5 but would have the tie breaker on them.

     


    Excellent observation!  This really highlights that EVERY play counts.  When the Bills prepare to repeat as World Champions next season ( 😉 ), this will provide excellent motivational material for McDermott throughout the season that any given play can make or break a game and much, much more in the big picture - got to bring 'A' game play-in and play-out.

    Leslie Frazier - this is a Bills board so let's start with the Bills' interest. Leslie Frazier is about to have a third top 5 defense in 5 years in Buffalo and while 62 year old, defensive retreads with low key personalities are not sexy hires there are some franchises in my list above who would benefit from just having a mature adult in the room for a few years - Jags, Raiders and Seahawks for example. He is hugely respected across the league and interviewed last year in a similarly volatile situation in Houston.

    Haha - good take!
