I always like to say, don't let facts get in the way of a good argument!

Wow! Bojo tied for the league lead with seven touchbacks, led the league in average hang time, only 22.8% of his punts returned which was the best in league, second in the league in punts downed inside the 20, ...... but then ranked 30th in net and gross. Talk about a mixed bag! Actually seeing all these numbers makes me want to give him more time to improve, not quite as bad as he seemed to be sometimes.

One thing they mentioned last niight in the game was related to the CBA, if there's no new CBA in place by March, teams can use bot ha franchise and a transition tag, implying Tenn could tag both Henry and Tannerhill if they wanted. But new CBA would only allow one tag, assuming the new CBA were to continue the tag system. Wasn't sure what that was all about?

That's good I'm sure the family could use the money!!

Hmmmmm.... I guess I need to spell out the word sarcasm better....

So since tonight is really yesterday down under, did they actually already play? And who won? This may only be true if you own two teams in different cities.

Well if there's a silver lining at least the Bills loss last week made travel plans for the weekend easier for the Pegulas.

That's a song?? Oh well OK! Like my wife often says to me, guess they didn't play that one on ESPN radio

Is that meant as a shot at the Bills??

Would be real nice if one of those you draft also has some field goal kicking experience too. Use him just on the long ones instead of Haus. Years back, that was somewhat common a punter who can also kick field goals, not so much anymore.

I'd be OK with the one year AJ Green prove it deal. But is risky to the Bills if he can't play much, then we're back in the same spot as this past season. I also agree with the tier II WR, then only other tier I I'd consider would be Robby Anderson only because I don't think he'll be obscenely expensive. I wouldn't draft a WR in round 1, I'd prefer to wait to round 2 or even 3. My reasoning is I'd prefer to see a pas rusher in the first round as harder to find them in FA than WR If they want to take a second one late would be OK with that too. Looking at the numbers, you have Brown, Beasly and Roberts returning. Signing a FA and draft one, you're up to five. That leaves at most one slot left assuming they went with six which wasn't the case this past year. That means Foster, McKenzie, and Duke are battling for maybe one spot. Of the three I'd give the edge to McKenzie as they like him for the gimmick plays he brings and his ST play.

Couple comments RB/TE I'm not one for asking why can't a player move to another position like often see posts here. Having said that for as little the fullback is used, could they get Lee Smith to become a combination blocking TE and FB for the few times they really need a full back, reasoning being it would save a roster spot. I'd also like to see them sign a big bruising type RB who if you line up both him and Singletary, could also kind of serve as a FB when giving the ball to him. OT I believe Waddle is a FA as only had a one year deal. Probably can easily re-sign if they desire. OL I do agree with not paying too much for Spain. I think if he walks, then may see Ford move to tackle. If he is resigned, then agree they keep Ford at RT WR I think they sign a decent FA someone of Browns ability, but with size and draft a WR maybe in round #2. WR is one of the harder positions for rookies to look good fast so makes more snese to not depend on him the first year. Based on the numbers then could mean Williams, McKenzie & Foster are all gone. Of the three most likely to be back I'd guess on McKenzie. DE agree they need help there You left out punter

So what do you think that means? Not going after an offensive lineman as not likely an improvement, but going after a pass rusher would be?

You left out Jason Croom, how can you possibly forget him?? If Vlad Ducasse had trade value anyone does!! Personally I wouldn't cut anyone until you need the cap space. You never know who could get hurt between now and next September. Plus do think there is trade value for another team who maybe had their TE get hurt prior to week #1. Kroft's injury put him behind the 8 ball all season and he never caught up, but some team may have interest.

Could back up QB use improving yes, but who is that guy? First off almost all the teams in the league if it comes down to the backup, the teams in trouble. For the most part the only teams with decent backups are teams that had a very shaky starter, so the QB who signed figured there's a good chance I will start at some time. i.e. Fitz, Tannerhill. Love him or hate him Allen is the starter in 2020 and has shown enough improvement in one year to justify that. So a guy like a Dalton likely wouldn't come here unless he can't find any better situations. Considering the overall lack of good QB's around, think he'll find a better spot. Yuo want to "upgrade" from Barkley to say a Josh McCown, that's probably doable, but how much of an upgrade is that? Other items tend to agree with overall though would switch pass rusher and RB in order of priority. Persoanlly my order would be 3, 4, 1, 5, 2, and 6

Supposedly Spain signed a 1 year prove it deal which he did. Unless the Bill's feel they want to keep Ford at tackle, why sign Spain? The most cost effective move and not losing anything on the field is to move Ford to guard, start Nsekhe at RT, but also draft in about the 3rd round a RT. Let him sit in 2020, but then start him in 2021 once Nsekhe's deal expires. That leaves you set at 10 of the 11 positions. Only one left is another WR or if they go big, they already have enough TE's on the roster to choose from.

I agree with you on the Bills not wanting to pay that much, but the league has gone in a direction of not paying RB's in general. So what Henry wants vs what other offers he gets in general, may be way different. That could leave the Bills an opening. Could really create havoc if you put the two out there together. This could also make all the DeMarco haters happy as having a guy like Henry in the backfield, you really don't need a fullback. Or maybe then you keep Lee Smith and he's both a blocking TE and on rare occasion, lines up as FB. Saves one roster spot.

I'd be very happy if he improves half the amount next year as he did this year. Add some better weapons around him and would be looking good. He's always going to have some accuracy issues, but the other side is he can make throws that very few others can.

What about Derrick Henry? He's a FA or is the assumption he'll never hit the market? Would think he's be an even better compliment to Singletary.

Actually noticed in yesterdays OT, Minn called head too. Maybe "tails never fails" is old school?

Don't think I'd start cutting players until you need the cap space. With their current TE's do they need Tyler Kroft, probably not. But lets get thru the off season and pre-season first, see who may get hurt, then release him when getting down to 53. Or maybe some other teams TE gets hurt, and could trade him. If you need the cap space sooner fine, then make the cuts, but doubt they'll eat up all the cap that quickly. I'd draft DE in 1st round then WR. My thinking is it's easier to find good WR's who are FA than it is pass rushing defensive ends. 3rd round O-lineman

Pats defense was just as good if not better and it didn't help much there. Brady and Allen are so dissimilar, not sure there'd be much to learn. Plus Brady would probably insist they trade Allen as doesn't want him looking over his shoulder.

During the game they also mentioned that Metcalf was very undisciplined early in the season when it came to route running. That doesn't sound like a good match with Allen. Alot different too when you have Russell Wilson throwing you the ball.

But Waddle was out way before Ty got hurt and even before they signed Bates. Judging from the Jets game think the team would have been in much worse shape with Bates in there for 7 games was it?

I don't know if it was panic or just not thinking straight. That play would have been fine if there were around 15 seconds left in the game or was on 4th down. Maybe he just lost track of things. As they say with rookies all the time, as they play more, the game slows down, think that's still needed for Josh. I thin kit's tougher too for any player, but in particular for a QB coming from a college program where you were the best player on the team and everything was on you. Take a guy like Trever Lawrence, likely will be the 2021 #1 overall pick. There are still many other players on that team who are just as talented. For Allen very little competition.
