Chargers are bad
I'm impressed by the Jags. I don't know what it is about the Chargers, for a team with so much talent on paper they come up small.

What could the penalty be if they violated it?

What's the under, 5?

Bears playcalling is terrible. Do they not trust Fields to throw it past the line of scrimmage?
Fields clearly showed he would throw it past the line of scrimmage.

Nice play by Levi Wallace pushing Chase out of bounds before he could get a TD.

Von is the difference maker. I’m listening to the post game and all he does is just talk everybody up in his presser. I’m fairly certain he could convince me I’m an NFL capable human.
If you played next to him maybe you would be!

How are we to enjoy this team when Bill Polian already made it clear when he left that we'd never see a team in Buffalo as good as the one he built?
Not sure if you mean this as a dunk on Polian, but 25 years without a team that could even come close to what he put together is practically forever in football terms.

If you're married to an NFL head coach, you have to have a very supportive wife.
I've been trying to wrap my head around this, and it seems like it means that NFL head coaches are women?

Just because other teams are making terrible personnel decisions at the TE position doesn’t mean the Bills should do the same. It’s no different then the Cowboys or Panthers paying massive deals to Zeke and McCaffery in that regard. Bad business. The difference though is that a truly elite TE is worth $20 million + per year. But we are talking Kelce and prime Gronk and Kittle and Andrew’s to a lesser extent. Basically you have to be a top 3 TE talent. Beyond that i think TE’s are easily interchangeable.Thus far the Hunter Henry and Jonu Smith signings have been a failure for the patriots.
In fact, the Smith contract might be the worst value contract among TE’s in all of football in terms of cap hit for 2022.

Fair point about Henry and Smith for sure. Thanks for the link to the TE salaries, they're kind of all over the place right now and I'm not even sure what will be considered the "going rate" as the cap goes up. I hope the Bills don't overpay to the extent that Cleveland did, but it would be nice if they can make it work.

I respectfully disagree. It took years to develop him into one on the best TE’s in the league. TE’s are an important part of a quality NFL offense these days. I’d pay him what the market expects for the talent that he is and keep weapons for Josh at every skill position. Surround Josh with talent and let him do his thing. I know the cap is an issue………..but there are ways.
Full disclosure, I was higher on Knox than most early, even with his dropsies. Now that he looks like a top TE, I’d just hate to see him wind up somewhere else. There is a way.
Even before the breakout year, there were flashes that showed what he could be. The drops help him back in our eyes, but the flashes were impressive! If we can extend him before the season to spread out the cost, I’m good. I trust Knox, and I trust Beane.
.
Also, between this contract and what the Patriots handed out to two TEs last offseason, if you want a credible receiving threat you're going to have to pay a fair amount regardless. I don't think the Bills should go bargain hunting for a starting TE, so finding a way to keep Knox around will be important. Also it will help maintain good relations with Allen, not that that should be the overriding concern.

then why even bother with OT in regular season games?
My hot take is OT should actually be eliminated for regular season games. Win in regulation or accept the tie. Then in the playoffs, OT is just an extra quarter, and you keep going if still tied.
I think I'm on an island on this one though, nobody wants ties. I just think it could lead to some interesting decisions at the end of games - go for 2 and the win, or take a tie?

Yes, 3rd and 4th, something about more flexibility in the terms of their contracts
Getting rid of that fourth rounder already paying dividends, they could just focus on this one

Those are good picks, but then I think you also have to account for the fact that both the Chiefs and Packers had to fill holes they created by trading away #1 receivers. Both teams could be said to have better drafts but more ground to make up.

Trade up ahead of them
Trade up 20+ spots just to try to keep one particular player away from the Jets?

This really doesn't make sense from the Texans' perspective, for the reasons everyone already said. Anyone have any idea why they would make a trade like this right now (other than incompetence)?

14 years and I see maybe 3 players worth the pick.
It's horrible value to go after running backs in the first round and that has been proven time and again.
That is a rough list. I'm not even sure I see 3, even if you think they've listed up to a first round slot production wise, how many of them ended up shipped up for low draft picks after being overpaid on a second contract? To me that's the deciding factor.

People get a thrill of the chase. It’s why we discuss drafts, weather forecasts, stock forecasts. There is no harm in it. It’s investigating, using facts to try and tie a story. Ultimately yes, the real story is what matters, but all of us are just positing possibilities.
Condolences have been said, and it’s a sad story, but there is no harm in trying to figure out how or why the story transpired.
Also no harm in just leaving it at condolences. Really not seeing what we get out of people's fact-free speculation.
And I'm also playing my part in hijacking the thread, so I'm going to bow out.

What's your point?
Do you want a thread filled with nothing but condolences? Some of us prefer solving mysteries instead of acting smarter or wiser than others.
A thread with condolences would be nice, not sure why you think there is a mystery crying out for message board posters to solve.

I've enjoyed the joke, but realistically no sure the moves make it clearer I guess but the Bills and the WTFs were obviously worlds apart before them anyway.
Yeah, I don't think it was based on an assessment of which team would be better.

Discussed exploring acquiring? What, are they going to form a committee to research investigating possibly offering a trade?-

False. Because they have failed to WIN Super Bowls. That’s why we play the game. Whether we are the Jets or super bowl losers is the same. Both pack up and go home. While it’s a great moral victory, it still isn’t enough and for that we need to figure out why? Why wasn’t it enough. Not good enough coaching or not good enough talent.
This is complete BS. Of course everyone wants to see the Bills win a Super Bowl, but I'm not going to let that be a barrier keeping me from enjoying the ride.

Who are you even arguing against? No one believes that this will result in a do-over.
