Many of the guys mentioned are 2026 so don't need to decide on all of them yet, particularly in the spring. It's still early yet, want to see more how it plays out, but I'd be more interested in re-signing both Hoillins and Cooper as think they both may take a discount to sign here. Not so sure about McGovern as think they drafted his replacement in VPG. He's also a 2026 guy, so let him play out next year and see how VPG develops.
Douglas has taken a step back this year so less inclined to sign him.
Would like to get Ty Johnson back.
I would try and sign the best pass rushing FA DE out there and maybe also a nose tackle.
Think guys like Gilliam, Morris, Anderson, and VanDemark will get resigned later on on cheap one year deals.
Next summer or early fall can worry about guys like Benford and Shakir.
Bills are o nthe hook for 5th year option for Groot so really little choice but to sign him to long term deal and think they should.

Cook easily gets his automatic game ball, Josh barely gets his, and Shakir's automatic game ball is revoked.
Cam Lewis - From the outset, Cam Lewis was the only Buffalo Bill playing with any fire or intensity. He had a number of tackles and stops that set the tone. His INT in the end zone kept the Cheats at bay. OK, so he got punked by Rhamondre Stevenson one on one. Other than that play, he was by far the best player on the field today for the Bills.
Dorian Williams - After he came in for Spector, the Bills run D became much more stout. Cheats also didn't score any more points until the refs gifted them that late TD.
Taron Johnson/Greg "Groot" Rousseau - A pair of one play game balls for falling on the lateral fumble in the end zone, and forcing the fumble that got us 3 points. These 10 points were the difference in the game until the late gifted TD.
Who ya got?
Can't disagree with any of them.
Was surprised to see the Bills ended up with 29 minutes TOP, big improvement from 1st half. Turnovers certainly helped that number

Often PI penalties are questionable, the last two on Elam were easy calls, I could have even made. Did he also have a 3rd one on him earlier in game??
Not that it's an excuse, but I wonder if the weather effected him more than others? He's a Florida kid, has he ever played in cold like this and makes me wonder if his head was to the point, of not wanting to be out there in this cold and just couldn't think straight. The last two in particular were more the type of calls where you're just not thinking what you're doing.

It's not an X's and O's issue. It's the jimmy and the joe's.
They need to turn over every leaf this offseason to be more physical up front on defense next year.
Agree. This was supposed to be a retooling year and weren't expected to do that well. But what do they do, they go out and win 12 games. Many are saying they are the 2nd best team in the league and at times they are, But other weeks they play like a team expected to be in the middle.
And where they are struggling is on the line, letting teams stay on the field by running and not getting sacks. They should have a decent amount of money this off season so they need to go out and sign the top FA pass rusher, maybe a better run stopping DT to play next to Oliver, draft a CB high and let Douglas go, assuming Bishop takes over for Hamlin, draft another safety to replace Rapp in 2026 and probably also a LB to replace Milano in 26.

We get 3 call-ups per player and there is only 3 games left. Do the math.
Yes, but you don't get an extra roster spot on game day, so someone else would need to sit, i.e. Jackson And maybe after 2 weeks of practice Jackson is still considered the better option. Do the math!

Week 17 too.
OK but if Pitt loses to KC and Ravens win last two, they'd then have 5 losses and would win division. So if Bills rest their starters week 17 and 18 and lose, wouldn't' that then give the Ravens the #2 seed as both have 5 losses and Ravens beat Bills? If Ravens lose to Texans then last two weeks mean nothing for Bills

What team is King Kong playing for these days?

They’ve already started. Anybody watching that game would know the MVP for the Ravens was Henry (or maybe Russell Wilson).I think Henry being on the Ravens will hurt Jackson's chances as many will argue at the least Henry made Jackson look much better.
So I'm rooting for Texans to beat Ravens and Pitt to beat KC on X-Mas
On the other hand if KC wins, then week 18 Bills can rest many players.

O'Connell has made Darnold look like a pro bowler. That alone should get him the award. Not to mention their record and how they look.
Also, let's ay O'Connell and McDermott switched places. Is Allen worse off? Is Darnold still doing what he's doing?
Agree.
The COTY in all sports goes to the team that overperforms. The team without expectations. I noticed in hockey the winner often gets fired within a few years. I think that's because they surprise year one. Management thinks the team is on a title path or something. Predictably..said team falls back to earth. And everyone is disappointed.
Otherwise...Bill Belichick won the award twice. Do we believe Belichick was only the best head coach in two years? Obviously not. He was the best coach most years.
Not that they even won all that much, but just the expectations were enough two years later for Granato to get fired.

I was way too young then. That link I posted above lists all the attempts of the fair catch FG's they can find, but they also say there could be others, since box scores of old games do not mention if a FG was a free kick. They have to go by any game reports they can find, which are hit or miss.
So I seem to recall that I was watching the game in a bowling alley in location I lived in early 70's, that the only reason for me thinking that's when it occurred? LOL

"Mark Moseley, Washington vs. New York Giants, November 25, 1979.
Short from 74 (yes, 74) yards with 54 seconds left (the Redskins were trailing 14-6 and hoped to score quickly & recover the onside kick; there was no 2-point conversion rule until 1994)."Thought it was early 70s?? But maybe??

Headline in article in Buffalo News:
Bills notebook: Amari Cooper 'waiting (his) whole life to be on a team like this'
Couple quotes from article:
“It’s absolutely amazing,” Cooper told The Buffalo News. “Honestly, I’ve been waiting my whole life to be on a team like this.”
“Obviously, I’m a receiver,” Cooper said. “Every receiver wants the ball. But, I mean, I’m in Year 10. And so, what’s most important to me is winning. And so, I think we definitely have the formula.
“So, I think it’s actually kind of cool, like going from 14 targets to zero targets, and we win, we beat a great team, actually a potential matchup down the road"
“But we are part of a team to where guys go down, and the offense is still putting up 40, 50 points. That’s truly a team that has a chance.”
I'm sure Diggs would say the same!

the rule has been around since the start of the NFL. College football eliminated this rule.
This was the 6th time in the last 20 seasons.
they also moved the posts to the back of the end zone making it harder.
it’s not that common because it only happens at the end of half or end of game
with kickers improving today regularly kicking 55+ FGs you are likely to see it more frequently.
it could be used in strategy like if a team is down 9-11 points with under10 min to go, they have the team pinned deep and they punt and you fair catch it on their side of the field.
the kick is uncontested and can’t be blocked.
this was something Houston could have tried after buffalo punted from deep in their own end. I don’t know if coaches even thought about this scenario.
this sometime occurred on fair catches of attempted onside kicks.
Not likely they'd do this as the mentality if every time we get the ball, we're going to score, so why take 3 when you can go and get 7. That's why it is only typically called with seconds to go. Even if you only got one 1st down likely kicking then would be shorter.
I do recall one time seeing it happen, think it was in the early 70's and involved the Giants?

Recall hearing an interview one time with Patrick Ewing when still at Georgetown, could hardly speak, 20 years later or so, night and day difference.

He ain't getting his wish to be cut now so he can sign with KC.
Funny too on Sunday heard his state how he has the best coach there.

Yes will agree Detroit is in even worse shape the Bills are/were. That's also somewhat misleading as that's only listing players on IR while the Bills have had a number of players out 2 to 3 weeks nbut didn't ever make the IR list.

Why is our coach never mentioned in the discussion for coach of the year. This team/ organization was terrible before he got here. All he does is win his first year and get us into the playoffs. We are basically a lock to win the division every year. This year might be his best job yet. We loose so many veteran players and the beat goes on. Whatever the team needs Coach has stepped up. Last as the D coordinator. This year grooming a young coach. Last year firing Dorsey. He always has the respect and pulse of the team. Why are we as fan not clamoring for him to win Coach of the year. Damn it why is the Bills PR team not doing something. We have to promote this man and give him his flowers now!!!
The part in bold is the problem. He's expected to win and hasn't done anything spectacular from year prior. They've got a little better each year, but only a small improvement over expectations.
When you consider how many people we questioning if Bills would even make playoffs, agreed he should be considered much more.

Kind of amazing when supposedly the Steelers have a huge national following and Philly& south Jersey have much large population.
Nantz may be right, Bills have become America's team!!

Looks like Jets/Bills is the lead CBS singleheader game - their slate is terrible next week. I would expect this to go to most of the country with Nantz and Romo getting the game.
36 minutes ago, mushypeaches said:I don't see us getting Nantz & Romo three weeks consecutively
Probably right on that Nantz/Romo for Jet game, is terrible choices.
Not getting them 3 weeks in a row, this coming week is Ian Eagle & Charles Davis
While Sat 28th all 3 games have playoff implications, they are also pretty weak games. Cardinals Rams is the only one where both teams have a shot at playoffs.

Lets not forget too that their defense lost both starting safeties, then Milano got hurt and back now, but still looks rusty or maybe is washed?. More of the key injuries we've had this season have also been on defensive side of ball too.
Meanwhile on offensive side the only person gone on, and certainly a big one was Diggs. But even there, how big a loss is debatable. Just compared with 3 games to go, Mack Hollins has better stats in most categories that G Davis did last year. Wouldn't be surprised if they sign him in off season to maybe a 2 year deal?
-
The three teams ahead of us all do have a better record. We are #2 in Athletic rankings behind Eagles
Rankings are also based a lot on "what have you done for me lately" and 2 weeks ago the Bills lost. Without that loss they'd likely be #1 as they were #2 in a number of polls after beating KC and SF.

If Allen played in a controlled environment every home game he would be unstoppable. The only thing that can stop him is Zaney Buffalo weather where talent is omitted and the luckier team wins. Just think it was short sighted to know you have the best player in the world why would you not want him to have the best possible playing conditions. How often does a team have the clear cut best best QB in the league? It may never happen for Buffalo again. We have 9 more years or so with him I just wish half his games weren’t a coin flip cause of weather.
Yeah, but look what the other team did too. I think the Bill's have more of an advantage having Allen playing outside in the cold against other teams as he has such a rocket arm.
Would Allen's stats likely be better, probably yes, but not sure the Bills would be better.
If you have Allen as your fantasy QB, then a dome would be great. But if you're looking for team to win the most, outdoors is better when you have Allen.
Bills Re-Sign Morrow

The only place his name has value is with fans. Maybe in Madden football he's worth something, but to other GM's he's worthless at this point.
I love seeing these stupid threads, they guy's terrible, trade him. Well if he's so bad why would any other team want him? Add to that he has a really big contract, he costs more to cut than to keep.
Barring another big injury, Milano will be here in 2025, at best maybe he becomes June 1st cut, but likely better off keeping him another year and see how he looks if he can stay on the filed.
