I blame Jerry for this as well.

While the Bills had about 10 captains in 2022 and 8 in 2023, they cut it down to just TWO last year: Josh and Bernard. I can see them sticking with those two. No need for more. The culture is set, the leadership is set. Dont over-complicate it. If they do add to the list, it would probably be from the list of new extensions. Likely Shakir and Rousseau, but I'm just guessing. Benford and Cook are too quiet and just lead by on-field performance.

They should be able to beat the Jets. The Pats will be tough, where is that game? No shot against the Bills.

Ehh, I predict it will go the same as the last few years. They start out ok as "kings of September", but then once that crisp October air hits they freeze up and go back to their south beach jacuzzis and fall apart through the rest of the season. So, strong start, but that momentum will quickly crumble.

With Josh also starting on DL

This is what it comes down to. There is no trading up to #1 for Arch.

It's the late-August timing. Had they made him available in March/April, they would have had teams lining up and brought in likely twice as much as they got in this trade. If Jones opens the Cowboys up to trade talks in March/April, before we signed Bosa, Hoecht, Ogunjobi and spent 4 picks on DL and extended Rousseau, we would've been first in line. I'm sure there are more than a few teams that would say the same. It's just Jerry's ridiculous timing by not having any type of plan or competency.

If you guys are that hard up, let me tell you a little secret about the internet...

The luck part was referring to the Packers and how they somehow were in position to do this. To your point, they had 1 guy worth an extension. That was due to bad luck in mediocre drafting, and good luck of having resources when this trade opportunity, which no one, even Jerry Jones, thought would happen just 48 hours ago. Yes, we chose to give all those guys extensions, because the alternative of waiting just in case a team gets dumb enough to trade their future HoFer Pass Rusher, which almost NEVER happens, would be worse mismanagement than what the Cowboys just pulled off. I think we're saying the same thing. But there is no criticism of the Bills here. I wont criticize them for not predicting a rogue meteor, or lightning strike. Had Jerry been in touch with reality at all and had Parsons available in March or April, the Bills would have been all over it. We wouldnt have signed Bosa, we wouldnt have spent all those picks on DL. We would have used those resources and more to try to get him.

Hard Knocks can really redeem itself next episode if they show the scene of Poyer breaking the news to Rachel Bush that they're going back to Buffalo. And then another scene later on when she realizes he'll be making Practice Squad money.

I mean, it's more luck than brains there since they simply dont have guys from the 2021 and 2022 drafts that deserve decent extensions. It's not a mystery of "somehow", it's due to mediocre/poor drafting prior. There wasnt some strategic, brilliant decision to not pay their guys because they saw this coming. They didnt predict anything.

And Cook trusting Beane enough to go along, instead of Beane doing super shady stuff like trying to deal with only the player and not the agent.

It;s also incredibly addicting and there are a lot of dirty doctors willing to prescribe it for the money. Same situation with the dirty doctors too. Private Drs and addictive drugs have now gotten Irsay Matthew Perry Michael Jackson (Fentanyl) Prince (Fentanyl) and thats just off the top of my head. And we havent even gotten into their manufactured opioid crisis.

Has anyone seen @Einstein and Jerry in the same room at the same time?

Only person who loves his contract more than Parsons is Aiden Hutchinson

Yep. Jerry couldve started the process March 12th and had him signed March 15th. But here we are.

And look how fast GB was able to get the deal done while including his agent...

Great comments all around on the /nfl subreddit post...

I think everyone gets that. But the point is, once you dont trade him in March, you need to get him signed immediately. It should have been a very easy deal to do, instead Jones had to try to flex and posture and delay because... reasons. He couldve had him signed before Garrett, he couldve had him signed before Watt. This is all on Jerry and a huge misplay at every step.

Dallas couldve gotten more if they dealt him in the beginning of the offseason, before Garret and Watt re-signed. But that contract lowered whatever they could get in return. Jerry messed it up as usual.

Oh dang, we could've signed Parsons for $400k?

Proving you dont read posts when you get your panties bunched

Glad he's staying in the NFC at least!

Oh yeah, man. No complaints here. So much fun.
