Love Matt Milano, but it was the right move to cut a year off his contract. His body breaks down too often, time to get younger there. Bring in a top 100 draft pick at LB to compete with Dorian next year.

He doesn’t call an exciting offense and the passing game bogs down until the Bills are trailing, but we’re getting production when it matters most. As I said in another thread, there’s no need to run Josh Allen on 2nd and 9 from midfield. Let the RBs bang into the OL, let Josh pass, or scramble if it’s there. That’s what you’re paying him $55M to do. I don’t need to see him get seriously injured before the designed runs stop. Save that for the playoffs in the redzone.

Three things are guaranteed - death, taxes, and Burrow missing games every year.

I was hoping the Chiefs would lose by 3 so that gamble by Reid from his own 35 yard line would be questioned - and maybe make him gun-shy against another contender.

Mahomes out there switching his hips like Daisy Doodle.

I have no problem with Allen scrambling for yards, but I would like Brady to stop using Allen as a fullback - especially on nonsense downs. That sort of stuff should be reserved for the playoffs and near the goal line. You just re-signed a guy for $12M/yr to take that punishment. Use him.

Teams need to study the Browns defense against the Ravens. They always seem to do well against them. It can’t ALL be personnel, can it? They don’t have a team filled with defensive all pros.

No, I got it pretty well. And wouldn’t have been bashing Beane for acquiring Parsons because we got gashed in the run game (like we do against the Ravens every time we play them). Parsons is elite at getting to the QB, that’s what he does. Is that worth $47M/yr? That part of the argument is debatable.

If a team is giving up 250 rushing yards, the blame far exceeds ONE player.

Line has moved from Bills -6.5 to -5.5. Lots of money must be coming in for the Jets to cover.

It’s just that athletes aren’t supposed to put other high performing athletes on blast. Last year Steve Smith said Keon Coleman “wasn’t the guy,” okay that was fair… at the time. But to have Allen tearing up the league, a day after he did something no other QB in the league has done in the 4th and to have Draymond criticizing his overall body of work, I think that’s somewhat noteworthy. What’s his agenda? Is it to rage bait or become a villain amongst Bills fans? If so, why? Did the Bills beat his favorite team or something?

It’s possible he’s rage baiting. He said Bills fans can come at him all they want but until Allen wins a SB, he’s right. So by that logic I guess Lamar Jackson is not the guy, Joe Burrow, or any other outstanding QB in the game who hasn’t won it all. There are 53 players on a roster, not 12 like the NBA.

Didn’t see this posted anywhere and I hope it gets back to Allen. My guess is Draymond hasn’t watched any Buffalo playoff games. Either that, or he’s been hit in the head by one too many balls.

I think Parsons will still comfortably be ahead of any edge players in 2 years time. His closest peers - Garrett and Watt - just re-signed for far less. My point was that $5-$6M more than the next highest paid player at that position didn’t seem necessary. Usually when these deals get done, there’s a one-upmanship. Money that comes in just over the last player’s amount. Maybe it’s a $1M more, maybe it offers a little more guaranteed money, etc. but Parsons’ agent blew the doors off the DE market and the Pack allowed it.

Many were devaluing Parsons, saying “bUT He CaNt dEfeNd the RuN!” and citing his one game against the Bills, but it’s the amount of plays he disrupts that makes him such a valuable defensive piece. He would’ve been a great get for Buffalo - but I too would’ve shuddered at $47M/yr. There was no need to even go that high with the next closest edge rusher millions under that.
