If I were Beane, I’d be more comfortable giving him the franchise tag. Phillips still hasn’t got his big payday. $14m is a lot better than committing $25-30m guaranteed if you’re not sure he’s gonna stay motivated. $14m still life changing, ‘never have to work another day in your life’ money. Sign him long term if he stays motivated after getting $14m. You can probably get Lawson for $9-10m per year. He’s been a high profile guy for longer, was the #1 high school recruit... I’d trust giving him long term contract more.

Franchise tag only $14m for DT. I think that is a very real option if they’re afraid of giving him a huge contract.

Would be a shame to lose Lawson or Phillips. If need be, you absolutely cut Murphy or Lotulelei to keep both of them. But we can absorb the cap hit for a year to keep all of them before we have to pay our young guys.

My main gripe last night was lack of any rhythm, which a young QB needs. When we actually moved the chains, the next play came in painfully slow. Josh is not a ball control QB right now. We score when he gets in a rhythm and works quick.

Special teams. They didn’t hurt us and actually won the battle when you consider the shank punt but Pittsburgh that jumpstarted our first TD.

How does anybody who’s older than 10 cheer for these a-holes? As much as I love the Bills, if they ran things the way these scumbags do I’d stop watching football.

Kraft needs to be forced to sell team and Bellichik banned for life. No penalty will stop their cheating. They need to be removed from the game for life. The Patriots players and fans shouldn’t be penalized. You can’t vacate past titles and wins. Then you just make martyrs of the cheating SOB’s. Get Kraft and Belichik out of the game forever.

The optics of this is horrible. Doesn’t even matter what’s on the tape. When you’re already a multiple time criminal, nobody is gonna believe you.

If they admitted that fast to this, you know they were caught red-handed.

F these cheaters. Throw the book at them once and for all.

Looks like somebody needed to explain to Hurts that Oklahoma won.

Probably. Just think he’s a slow processor like EJ was. Other than the fact that he can run, he’s nothing like Lamar and Kyler.

When I watch Hurts play, he reminds me so much of EJ Manuel. Hurts obviously the better athlete, but the way he’s a deer in headlights in the pocket and slow releases are very similar.

You think New England is gonna be able to score enough points? Patriots defense isn’t gonna be able to completely shut down Mahomes and Co.

It’s a beautiful thing watching Brady get pummeled on a meaningless 2 pt conversion in garbage time.

I hate the Pats as much as anyone, but that wasn’t a catch.

Not a catch. Amazing how few WR’s out there who truly have good hands.

Wentz just seems like a guy you can’t stand as a teammate. A ‘me’ guy who tries really hard to look like he’s not. Me thinks he’s hated in that locker room.

Jeez. Let’s enjoy the ride. Things change quickly in the NFL. If you have a good QB and a good coach/organization, most of the other parts are replaceable.

I don’t know about a conspiracy but the same ref who flagged that soft late hit on Dak, also over-ruled the ref s few plays later on that horrible TD catch that was over-ruled. That ref needs to be demoted. That was a horrible sequence of calls that makes you question if the guy had money on the game. Those calls were that bad.

You gotta lay the wood on Jackson when he runs. Belichik vs the Bills in Super Bowl 25. This is too easy for Jackson. Only think you can do is make him pay a price when he runs and dare him to throw.

Not sure to the OP, but it’s not like the defense gives the ball to the offense in great field position like the Pats D does. Our offense usually has to go length of the field to get points.

Seriously. Let the ball roll into the end zone.

Hard to score TD’s when you have to drive 90 yards because your special teams suck.

Barry obviously one of the all time greats, but when comparing him to the others he takes a hit with me because he had a lot of runs for negative yardage. Home run hitter with a lot of strikeouts.
