I agree with this. It will make the last two minutes of the fourth quarter in a tight game a lot more interesting - do you play for the tie or for the win? Week 17 ties would add a lot more drama to playoff races as well, with that scenario being significantly more likely to happen.

Yeah and if Bass gets injured without a punter to back him up, or vice versa, you see this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DBiyYPFE8cA

I agree with this. I don't think Feliciano is as good as Morse, and the dead cap hit of $5.5M just doesn't make sense. If you cut Morse, do it in 2022 when the cap hit is in excess of $11M and the dead cap is only $2.75M

I'm going with Edmunds... it's a hard call between him, Knox, and Singletary. I think most are unhappy with the DL but with Murphy barely playing and Star opting out, our two usual whipping boys aren't receiving as much attention.

There was a thread started on this at the beginning of the season, and I thought it might be interesting to rekindle this discussion given all the talk about cap casualties... who's receiving the most criticism this offseason from fans here, either deservedly so or not?

This is why I don't think this is a good idea. Space is needed in future years when Allen's contract is going to hit, and also keep in mind that the new TV contracts are looming which will cause cap numbers to go up (as well as salaries) I'd much rather extend some of these guys while frontloading the cap hit, and lock them in at "bargain" pricing. Make room for that by cutting the fat on defense instead.

A journeyman vet that can't cut it as a starter but can win a few games if Allen is out would be ideal. I just don't see Barkley being able to beat an average team and that's a problem. I'd let him walk. Fitz or Dalton would be my top choices. I think Fitz will command more money than we'd like to spend on the backup quarterback, though.

I would much rather draft TE or LB (especially if Milano is gone) and fill OL in the 3rd or later rounds.

Any concession on the part of the team like that should lower the overall price of the contract and thus impact on the cap. I'd be in favor of it.

This is getting a lot of attention in officiating circles. It's a major administrative error -- misapplication of the rules is usually a death sentence for a playoff assignment for an official. Al Riveron's only role as SVP of officiating is replay. I would expect him to be the fall guy here, and I would not be at all surprised of Walt Anderson takes over the replay duties next season.

I don't think that's fair - McD and Frazier are not above criticism and they will be the first people to tell you that. The Bills got killed by Kelce and Hill the entire game and Kelce in particular was wide open constantly in the second half. They accounted for 290 of 325 yards of passing from Mahomes. After the first half, where Kelce just killed you, it would seem to make sense to adjust to that and take him away. Sell out and make the Chiefs beat you on the ground or with other receivers. This is how Belichick typically game plans on defense -- make a team win in a differen

I think it starts with cutting Edmunds loose and shoring up the LB corps. KC picked on him all day and he had no answer.

Agreed, this is a legitimate topic. I think the difference between KC and the rest of the league is quite large. Buffalo beat two of the toughest remaining teams in the AFC during their playoff run. I don't think it is as much Buffalo being overrated as it is KC running a clinic. This looked like watching Bills/Pats from the 2000's... and at 13-3, the Bills did great against a really tough schedule.

That surely was an ineligible man downfield on Tampa, no?

The Saints are what, $99M over the cap next season? Even with losing the Brees contract, I don't see how they could afford Stafford. I agree with others and think Indy is the likely landing spot.
